Daqian Martial Saint

The Pseudo-Grandmaster Realm!

Its combat strength couldn’t compare to a true Jade Balance Grandmaster, but it held a massive advantage over ordinary Absolute Masters.

Using a Secret Technique, the Blood-Burning Essence Technique, Cao Yingxiong’s Realm instantly rose to the Pseudo-Grandmaster Realm. His eyes were crimson as he felt the berserk aura flooding his entire body. Confidence swelled in his heart!

In his current state, he wouldn’t fear even the Vice Beicang Garrison Commander, Xue Kunsheng, if he were standing right in front of him, let alone this brawny man before him.

A bloody mist spread around him, his aura surging to its absolute peak. Just as his words faded, he prepared to strike.

A flash of golden light streaked past. Cao Yingxiong had no time to dodge. In an instant, his body was grievously wounded.

”This is...”

Cao Yingxiong’s expression was one of shock. His gaze fell upon the towering, muscular Vajra Giant, bathed in golden light and standing a zhang tall.

”The Golden Body Unbreakable Realm!”

Golden Body Unbreakable... one could only enter this Realm by cultivating the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill to Perfection! This brawny man, who had appeared out of nowhere, had actually cultivated the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill to such a level?

Drowning in deep unwillingness and despair, Cao Yingxiong fell into endless darkness.

BANG!

Cao Yingxiong’s body exploded, turning into a rain of flesh and blood that scattered across the ground.

”So much pointless talk.”

Chen Ping’an’s figure slowly emerged from within the golden light. His muscles were now bulging and interwoven, shimmering with a brilliant, Vajra-like gold, as if he were a Vajra Giant cast entirely from Vajra itself!

Feeling the power coursing through his entire body, Chen Ping’an’s heart surged with emotion.

The terrifying transformation brought about by fully activating the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill to become the Vajra Giant was even more dreadful than he had imagined.

In his Vajra Giant state, he was more than three or four times stronger than his normal self!

Against someone like Cao Yingxiong, he could have easily suppressed him in his normal state. But that was merely suppression; killing him would have been incredibly difficult!

Even with the aid of a Divine Skill and consecutively using two of the Secret Techniques from the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger, he couldn’t have guaranteed a kill.

And after Cao Yingxiong used his Burst Secret Technique, that possibility had dwindled to almost nothing!

But...

...when he fully activated the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, transformed into the Vajra Giant, and faced a powered-up Cao Yingxiong, he was capable of killing him—even instantly.

Comparing the two, the difference was plain to see!

No wonder the Mountain Elder, relying on the Perfection Level of the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, had once dominated an entire province and ranked 173rd on the Dragon and Tiger Chart!

The might of a Divine Skill was truly evident!

DONG!

With the sound of a great bell, the Vajra Image surrounding Chen Ping’an dissipated. The golden light gradually faded, and his body shrank, rapidly returning to its original size.

With his current foundation of Profound Light, he could have sustained the Golden Body Unbreakable state for a long time. But since Cao Yingxiong was dead, there was no need to maintain it.

Chen Ping’an looked around at the utter devastation. The area was a mess of craters, as if it had been plowed over. The trees and wild grass on both sides were flattened and broken, as if they had borne a weight that life was never meant to endure.

The special carriage that Cao Yingxiong had been riding in was now a dilapidated wreck. As for the Flame Horses that had been pulling it, they had long since collapsed and died.

Although their battle just now hadn’t lasted particularly long, the destruction it caused was indescribable.

’She ran away?’

Chen Ping’an scanned the surroundings, straining his eyes, but found no trace of Lin Wanying from the Qiankun Bureau. It was obvious that after sending the Qiankun Bureau’s unique signal, Lin Wanying had realized the situation was dire and decisively chosen to flee.

’Should I chase her?’

After a moment’s thought on whether to pursue her or not, Chen Ping’an made his decision.

He wouldn’t.

Lin Wanying had already been gone for a while. If he gave chase now, he might not be able to catch her.

With Cao Yingxiong dead, his primary objective was accomplished. Compared to Cao Yingxiong, Lin Wanying was just a bit player. There was no need to waste time on such trivial matters.

Besides, his physical form had changed drastically, and he was wearing a mask. Even if Lin Wanying escaped, he wasn’t worried about his identity being exposed.

With this in mind, Chen Ping’an bent down and quickly began to clean up the battlefield.

Under the force of his attack, which contained his ultimate power, Cao Yingxiong’s body had exploded, and many of the items on his person had been turned to ash along with it.

However, quite a few valuable items on Cao Yingxiong’s body had survived. Chen Ping’an collected all of them. Just as he was about to search Lu Shengyang’s remains, Chen Ping’an’s expression flickered, and he looked up into the distance.

’Someone’s coming!’

His senses told him that a group of people was rapidly approaching from the distance.

SWOOSH!

Chen Ping’an’s figure flickered, and he appeared beside Lu Shengyang. He bent down and quickly searched the body.

BANG!

Chen Ping’an unleashed his Palm Power, destroying the corpse to eliminate all traces. Lu Shengyang’s body bore marks left by the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger. Although it wasn’t a major issue, it was better not to reveal it if he didn’t have to.

After finishing all this, Chen Ping’an leaped away and left the scene. He was extremely fast, his figure vanishing into the distance in just a few breaths.

...

SWOOSH!

A figure flew past, landing on a large boulder. The boulder was cleverly positioned, backed by a small hill and concealed by surrounding greenery, offering excellent cover.

’I’m back!’

The Profound Light in Chen Ping’an’s brow flickered as he scanned the surroundings, but he detected no unusual movements. Only then did he relax and sit down cross-legged on the boulder.
