”The Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm truly lives up to its name!”

Amidst the ruins, Chen Ping’an’s whole body shook, and the rubble covering him tumbled away. He clutched his chest and managed to stand up.

’My Golden Body Unbreakable has been shattered. My body is injured, my organs are damaged, seventy-five percent of my True Qi is gone, and the Qi Blood throughout my body is in chaos...’ Chen Ping’an assessed his own condition.

His current state was far from good. Lan Yingying’s Earth Demon Flipping Heaven palm had directly knocked him out of his fierce Golden Body Unbreakable form. Every inch of him ached, his organs were damaged, and his Qi Blood was in disarray. He was not far from being considered severely injured.

In truth, this outcome was only possible because Chen Ping’an had activated his Vajra Unbreakable with all his might, taking Lan Yingying’s palm head-on in his Golden Body Unbreakable state, bolstered by his Entry Level Dragon Elephant Dominating Body Technique and numerous other Horizontal Training Methods.

Had it been anyone else, they would have likely been killed on the spot!

The only silver lining was that Lan Yingying, who had unleashed that palm strike, had also collapsed to the ground, unable to fight for the time being.

’I’ll end this once and for all. Kill her right here, right now!’ A vicious glint flashed in Chen Ping’an’s eyes. The Profound Light between his brows flickered as he activated what little True Qi he had left.

He had no previous grudge against Lan Yingying of the Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm. They had even met once before at Qingyou Garden. Back then, he had been quite wary of the old woman, but now, his power had greatly increased. After a series of battles, he had actually held the upper hand against this Lan Yingying!

Since she had chosen to attack him, she would have to pay the price for her choice!

Although Chen Ping’an was now heavily injured and far from his peak condition, dealing with a Pseudo Grandmaster who had lost all combat ability was still a simple matter.

Just then, Lan Yingying’s voice suddenly rang out, hoarse and urgent.

”Ying’Er, kill him now!”

Hm!?

Chen Ping’an looked up and saw the young woman he had sent flying with a Vajra palm. Her footwork was light and nimble as she landed steadily on the ground.

”I know, Mother.” With a crisp, pleasant voice, True Qi surged around the young woman. Her figure moved with fluid grace as her fair, delicate palm, glowing with a faint green light, shot toward Chen Ping’an.

’She’s not injured?’ The young woman’s agile and graceful movements gave Chen Ping’an a slight shock.

Though he had been distracted and struck out in haste, the power of that palm had been diminished and wasn’t at its peak. But the Palm Power was still domineering and fierce; even an ordinary Absolute Master would likely be severely injured if they took that blow head-on.

So how was Lan Yingjun unscathed!?

Hm!?

Wait!

No!

True Qi surged around the young woman, radiating a faint green glow. Accompanied by a sharp whistle of wind, she charged violently toward him.

Chen Ping’an’s mind jolted, and in an instant, understanding dawned on him!

Little Five Poison Lan Yingjun, the disciple of Lan Yingying of the Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm, was actually at the Peak Realm! To have stepped into the Profound Light High Realm at the age of twenty! Such talent was exceedingly rare, even across the entire Canglong State.

Awe flickered in Chen Ping’an’s heart, but it was extinguished in an instant by a cold resolve. His gaze sharpened, Golden Light flared around him, and he violently threw a palm strike.

’Profound Light High Realm, placing you at the peak!? So what? You’ll still die here today!’

Amidst the howling gale, the young woman and Chen Ping’an clashed palms once more.

BOOM!

An incomparably violent shockwave swept out with immense force, blowing away all the surrounding dust and rubble.

Under normal circumstances, the young woman probably would have been sent flying again by this palm, just like before. But with Chen Ping’an heavily injured, his Divine Skill broken, and most of his True Qi depleted, this palm strike only gave him a slight advantage!

Using the residual Palm Power from the clash, the young woman spun in mid-air like a nimble swallow and threw a sudden kick. At the same time, several Poison Needles shot out from her sleeve, glinting with a bone-chilling, dark light as they flew straight for Chen Ping’an’s face.

The Poison Needles shot out in a flash, catching one completely off guard. But Chen Ping’an, as if he had anticipated it, leaned his body slightly to the side, dodging most of them.

CLANG!

The Golden Light around Chen Ping’an shuddered, blocking the Poison Needles before they reached his face. The needles pulsed with a dark light, incomparably sharp, and the Golden Light around Chen Ping’an only held them back for half an instant.

But for Chen Ping’an, half an instant was enough. His hand, glowing with Golden Light, slapped the Poison Needles out of the air.

At the same time, the young woman’s kick was already nearing Chen Ping’an’s neck. With his Golden Body Unbreakable shattered, if this kick landed solidly, he would likely pay a heavy price.

PFFT!

True Qi surged madly as the wind howled.

The young woman’s ankle was caught firmly in Chen Ping’an’s grasp as Golden Light exploded from his hand.

”Not good!” The young woman’s expression changed. She slapped a sachet at her waist, and in an instant, a puff of green smoke filled the air around them.

The green smoke from the sachet was a mixture Lan Yingjun had carefully concocted from various toxins. Many of them were rare and potent poisons, posing a significant threat even to Absolute Masters.

Lan Yingjun had misjudged the severity of his injuries. With her ankle caught, she was undoubtedly in an extremely passive position. This green poison smoke was her means of breaking the stalemate. She didn’t dare hope that the smoke, which was lethal to ordinary Absolute Masters, would have a miraculous effect on the man before her, but she hoped it could at least distract him.

As long as his focus wavered, she could take the opportunity to escape!

Lan Yingjun’s hopes were high, but reality was harsh.

Although Chen Ping’an’s Golden Body Unbreakable was shattered, the foundation of his physique and his Entry Level Dragon Elephant Dominating Body Technique remained. Chen Ping’an held his breath and focused his mind. Golden Light shone from his body, now tinged with wisps of black energy. As the Profound Light between his brows flashed and his True Qi surged, the black strands seemed to gain a life of their own, coiling around his body and blocking all of the surrounding green smoke.
