My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 435: Chapter 201: Shizun

His formidable Abyss Water Armor shattered like tofu the instant it was touched!

The Five-Layered Abyss Water Armor failed to hold for even a single moment.

That terrifying, decaying power had pierced right through it!

Disbelief filled Qin Fang’s eyes as immense despair washed over him...

’...This is it? I’m going to die?’

The Abyss Water Armor couldn’t withstand the Profound Light’s power for even an instant.

’If that hits me... how could my Physique possibly withstand it?’

’I’d be pierced through in an instant!’

’Then, the decaying Nature within the Profound Light will melt me like a wax figure in a heartbeat...’

A profound sense of despair flooded Qin Fang’s heart at that moment...

The Profound Light tore through the Abyss Water Armor, about to pierce Qin Fang’s body.

But just as the Profound Light was about to make contact with Qin Fang’s body...

Suddenly, the Token at Qin Fang’s waist flared with a brilliant light!

With a sharp CRACK.

The terrifying Profound Light abruptly shattered.

Qin Fang sat stunned on Xile’s back... completely unharmed.

”Hm?”

The sinister voice rang out.

But in the next moment, a deep, furious voice boomed, ”Such audacity! You dare harm a disciple of my, Yue Guiyuan’s, True Inheritance?”

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, but then his eyes shot wide open.

”Ma-Master?!”

In the next instant, a Profound Light flared and converged beside him.

Then, a figure made of Light and Shadow materialized out of thin air beside Qin Fang...

...It was none other than a lean, sharp-featured old man!

’Who else could it be but my master?’

Qin Fang stared, dumbfounded...

’This is...’

’...Master’s True Gang Incarnation?’

’It was hidden inside the Token all this time?’

Yue Guiyuan first looked toward Qin Fang. After confirming he was unharmed, he let out a visible sigh of relief and then looked up.

A True Gang Incarnation, its body formed from the most condensed True Essence, naturally reveals its True Essence Nature.

Right now, a dense Kunyuan Nature radiated from Yue Guiyuan’s body, though it seemed slightly different from the norm...

Qin Fang couldn’t quite make it out.

But he could feel it... an indescribable sense of profound weight emanating from the True Gang.

...Looking at him was like gazing upon a great mountain!

The streak of light in the sky froze for a moment before transforming into a figure of Light and Shadow.

The figure of Light and Shadow was an old man with a sinister face, his gaze locked onto the other figure of Light and Shadow beside Qin Fang.

”Yue Guiyuan...”

The sinister voice was suddenly filled with dread.

”I wondered who it could be. So, it’s you wretches from the Filth Land Sect?”

Yue Guiyuan, in the guise of the lean old man, now had eyes brimming with cold indifference and thick killing intent.

”You dare cause trouble on my sect’s grounds, and you even dare to hunt down my disciple? Ji Ai Old Ghost... I see you’ve grown tired of living.”

Yue Guiyuan’s voice was so chilling it seemed capable of freezing the air itself.

The figure of Light and Shadow known as the ’Ji Ai Old Ghost’ snorted. ”Yue Guiyuan,” he said lightly, ”this place is overflowing with life force, making it unbearably foul. I am merely performing a ’cleansing’ ritual for this world. Your disciple ruined my rite, so he must naturally offer his body as a sacrifice to compensate for my loss. Since you’re here, you can leave this bit of True Gang behind as well. It will make fine nourishment for the Filth Land.”

Before his words had even faded, the Ji Ai Old Ghost’s shadowy form suddenly shrank.

Then, it violently expanded!

A decaying Nature—gray, degenerate, and seemingly capable of devouring all life—surged out like an invisible tide!

In an instant, the scenery of the mountain forest between the two shadowy figures faded and warped.

Lush green plants withered, curled, and turned to ash at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ominous spots of mold appeared on the surface of the bare rock, letting out a faint SIZZLE...

Even the air seemed to grow thick and foul, carrying a stench of rust and grave dirt with every breath!

Qin Fang watched, dumbfounded.

His master beside him suddenly flicked his sleeve, and Qin Fang felt the world spin around him.

When he came to his senses, he found...

...he had been moved to a mountaintop dozens of miles away?!

Sitting on Xile’s back, he sucked in a sharp breath, completely stunned.

”Hmph.”

His master’s voice rang out. The next moment, Qin Fang saw his master’s True Gang Avatar facing the life-eroding, decaying Domain. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward!

”Suppress!”

With that low shout, and without any visible movement from him, the very earth beneath his feet trembled violently.

A majestic, heavy, and righteous Profound Yellow True Gang erupted from him, spreading out in all directions!

Wherever it passed, the gray, decaying intent sizzled like snow under a scorching sun, making a HISSING sound as it was forcibly repelled and purified!

The Profound Yellow light and the gray decay clashed violently in midair, annihilating one another and emitting a low, grating roar. It was as if space itself were the surface of water, stirred into ripples!

The Ji Ai Old Ghost cackled. His gaunt, shadowy finger pointed into the air. ”A mere speck of Earthen True Gang dares obstruct my Filth Land True Intent? Myriad Filth—Spirit Devour!”

The repelled, decaying gray aura suddenly transformed, turning into countless twisting, squirming, gray-black threads as fine as hairs. As if they were alive, they coiled around and seeped into Yue Guiyuan’s Profound Yellow True Gang, frantically siphoning and corrupting the life force and True Gang within!

The Profound Yellow light visibly dimmed and grew turbid!

Yet Yue Guiyuan’s expression remained unchanged.

”Petty tricks. You dare show off your paltry skills before a master? ...Do you really think I can only defend?”

He raised his right hand, and the aura around him instantly became immensely heavy and vast, as if he had merged with the boundless earth beneath his feet!

RUMBLE—

The entire mountain range seemed to awaken at that moment!

The boundless energy of the Earth Veins was roused, transforming into nine colossal Profound Yellow dragons, each as massive as a mountain and as solid as stone. They burst from the ground, roaring at the heavens!

The dragons’ roars echoed across the land, carrying an peerless intent of weight, suppression, and destruction as they closed in on the Ji Ai Old Ghost’s shadowy form from all directions, intent on annihilation!

Wherever they passed, space itself seemed to solidify, and all of creation bowed in submission!

Before the impossibly pure dragon energy of the Earth Veins, those myriad gray-black threads were like a spider’s web touched by fire, instantly snapping and vanishing!

The Ji Ai Old Ghost’s shadowy form finally showed a change in expression.

”Shaping the Earth Veins?! Yue Guiyuan, you’ve actually touched upon this realm?!”

The shadowy figure flickered rapidly, as if trying to flee, but the nine Earth Vein dragons had already sealed off all avenues of escape. They descended in a pincer formation, carrying the terrifying might to crush everything and return it to primordial chaos!

RUMBLE!!!

An earth-shattering roar erupted alongside an endless curtain of sand, completely obscuring Qin Fang’s vision.

His expression changed drastically, and he immediately roared, ”Xile, take cover!”

Xile was also extremely intelligent. Though its aura was clearly weak, its form flickered as it quickly leaped off the summit and moved to the far side of the mountain.

The next moment...

BOOM!!

A gale suddenly erupted, sweeping out in all directions.

Qin Fang felt his mind ringing from the blast. He hastily circulated his True Essence, which rapidly mended the shattered Five-Layered Abyss Water Armor, allowing him to barely remain standing.

Staring at the familiar, cataclysmic scene...

Qin Fang’s eyes were wide and vacant, his heart pounding like a drum.
