If the short old man was a match for Gu Qianyin, then the tall old man facing Terra Su was an absolute overpowering force. An experienced Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level expert against a Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level youth—how could the latter survive even a single move?
The tall old man’s gaze locked onto Terra Su’s energy, giving him no chance to escape.
“Kid, you’re incredibly bold to challenge the Sun Family alone. Do you think having an eighth-level genius by your side makes you invincible? Should I call you naive or just plain stupid?”
The tall old man sneered, his words dripping with disdain, clearly not taking Terra Su seriously.
Terra Su just smiled indifferently. “You don’t need to worry about me. You should worry about yourself. It’s a shame for someone your age to die such a violent death.”
“What did you say, kid?”
The tall old man’s eyes darkened instantly.
This brat dared to curse him with a violent death?
“You’re courting death!”
The tall old man unleashed his full Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level power, sending a massive wave of True Essence energy crashing towards Terra Su like a tidal wave.
“Pathetic clown.”
Terra Su said coldly, drawing his Cang Hai Sword to engage the tall old man.
After just a few exchanges, the tall old man sensed something was wrong.
He realized Terra Su’s combat strength was far beyond that of a typical Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level practitioner.
He could actually fight evenly with an eighth-level expert!
“Such power! His cultivation is only at the fifth level, yet he can unleash eighth-level strength. What kind of monster is this?”
The tall old man was filled with doubt and confusion.
There was no one like Terra Su in Anyang City.
Could he be from a smaller town?
Impossible. How could those impoverished, backward places produce such a genius?
“Die, kid!”
The tall old man’s battle intent surged, abandoning his earlier plan to capture Terra Su alive. Such a monstrous talent had to be killed early, or he would become a future threat.
“Little Tianyuan Hand!”
The old man channeled his True Essence, using a high-level Normal Grade palm technique against Terra Su.
Though he wielded no weapon, this palm technique made his hands as indestructible as iron, far beyond the reach of ordinary weapons.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sword clashed with flesh, producing continuous metallic sounds and sparks.
After dozens of moves, Terra Su’s hands began to feel numb. The tall old man was, after all, an eighth-level expert, and facing him head-on was draining Terra Su’s energy.
Fortunately, Terra Su had undergone a Tempering Bath, making his body as strong as the tall old man’s. This level of impact couldn’t harm him.
“Kid, you sure can take a beating!”
The tall old man grew impatient, unable to defeat a mere fifth-level practitioner. This was unthinkable for him.
Impatience led to mistakes. In martial combat, especially in prolonged battles, the one who lost their composure first often lost.
“Now!”
Terra Su’s eyes flashed. The opponent’s impatience made him vulnerable.
Anyone challenging Terra Su’s mental fortitude was doomed to fail. As the Alchemy Emperor in his past life, Terra Su had endured years of solitude on the Elixir Path. A mere battle couldn’t shake him.
“There’s the flaw!”
Terra Su found the weak point in the old man’s palm technique, right in the center of his palm.
“One Sword, Eleven Waves!”
Without hesitation, Terra Su executed the Waves Stacking Slash.
The white sword light pierced the old man’s palm precisely at its weak point.
“My hand!”
The old man screamed in agony as his palm was pierced, blood gushing out.
“How is this possible? My Little Tianyuan Hand, broken?”
The old man was in utter disbelief. How could his iron-like palm be pierced so easily by Terra Su’s sword?
“Strike while he’s down!”
Terra Su showed no mercy, thrusting his sword towards the old man’s heart.
The old man realized the danger, screaming and retreating, but it was too late.
Splat!
Terra Su’s sword plunged into his chest, blood spraying everywhere.
Thud!
The old man fell backward, dead with his heart pierced.
“Brother Feng!”
The short old man, seeing his companion’s death, screamed in disbelief, his eyes red with rage. How could his eighth-level companion be killed by a fifth-level Terra Su?
What had happened? Was it really possible to kill an enemy three levels higher?
“Danger!”
The short old man realized his peril, abandoning the fight and attempting to flee.
“Too late.”
Terra Su appeared before the short old man like a ghost, with Gu Qianyin flanking him from behind.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
The short old man, realizing escape was impossible, turned to fight desperately.
But how could he, an eighth-level expert, withstand both Terra Su and Gu Qianyin? Within moments, he was overwhelmed.
Soon, amidst his screams, the short old man was killed by Terra Su and Gu Qianyin’s combined efforts.
Phew!
Gu Qianyin exhaled softly, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Looking at the two corpses, Gu Qianyin felt dazed. Had she really helped Terra Su kill two eighth-level experts?
Such a feat was unimaginable for her before.
But before Gu Qianyin could savor the moment, a group emerged from the forest.
Leading them was a formidable presence, even stronger than the two eighth-level experts.
He seemed to be a ninth or even tenth-level expert.
His aura was so powerful that it snapped nearby trees and sent debris flying.
