Translator: 549690339

Xu Yan stood proudly with his sword, looking at the slightly disheveled Yin Hong in the distance. He couldn’t help but marvel, truly worthy of being a half-step Great Grandmaster who was able to dodge the blow, preventing himself from being cut down by a single stroke.

“A half-step Great Grandmaster, and that’s all!”

Xu Yan said calmly and casually.

In the distance, Du Yuying and the rest breathed a sigh of relief. Although they hadn’t been victorious, they had managed to hold off Yin Hong.

Yin Hong’s face was darker than ever, one of his hands trembling slightly behind him. For a moment there, he had nearly been killed!

That sword strike, was incredibly powerful!

“Boy, who are you? You should think carefully. Are you sure you can bear the consequences of getting involved in this?”

Yin Hong spoke grimly.

He knew that continuing the fight would not lead to victory.

In fact, one misstep could potentially lead to a dangerous situation.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow. “What, are you trying to threaten me?”

Yin Hong sneered, looking at Du Yuying and the others approaching. He said coldly, “The issue with the Du Family runs deep. Even a Great Grandmaster does not dare to get involved rashly.

“You’ve blocked me from taking girl Du away, thereby offending the powerful person backing me. You better think carefully about the consequences. There will naturally be people who will come to settle the score with you.”

Du Yuying frowned slightly and spoke softly, “Sir, you need not worry. My Du Family will take care of this for you.”

Yin Hong sneered, “Boy, do you want to tie yourself to the Du Family’s boat?

It’s not easy to play the hero to save the beauty. The person backing me, the Du Family can’t handle!”

Du Yuying frowned, as the person backing Yin Hong, a half-step Great Grandmaster and constantly mentioning powerful persons, it’s evident that the person behind the scenes must be extraordinary.

She couldn’t help but feel suspicious. The conspirators behind Yin Hong and those who attacked her earlier were obviously not the same people.

Xu Yan frowned, thinking to himself, “I’m just trying to earn some Spirit Crystals and Spirit Medicine. Is it easy? The person behind this guy is clearly not simple. If they want to cause trouble for me, then I’ll need to be cautious wherever I go.

“Even a Great Grandmaster might show up.”

He needed to earn Spirit Crystals and he also wanted Spirit Medicine. He had already escorted Du Yuying all the way here, and after a fierce battle, how could he retreat at this moment?

Moreover, even if he decided to retreat, the other party would not let it go so easily.

“Sir, don’t worry. You can stay at my Du Family for a few days. Once this storm passes, I guarantee that no one will involve you because of this matter.”

Du Yuying said seriously.

However, Xu Yan didn’t pay much attention to it. Would he stay at the Du Family’s place?

He came here to make his way in the Inner Domain, not to seek refuge with a certain power.

Yin Hong threatened further, “Boy, this matter is far-reaching. You are indeed strong, but I advise you to withdraw. If you leave now, all that’s left is the grudge between the two of us.

“If you interfere, you’ll be making an enemy of the person supporting me. You better think carefully about the consequences.”

Xu Yan snorted coldly, “Threaten me? Are you worthy? The person supporting you, are they worthy?”

The half-step Great Grandmaster who was a pseudo-martial artist, who was unable to make a direct breakthrough to Great Grandmaster, was definitely a waste. Who dare to threaten him, and who gave him the courage?

And who was this so-called noble person?

Without another word, Xu Yan thrust his sword out. The image of mountains and rivers emerged, and the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed.

It was the Sword Dao he had recently comprehended, the Mountain River Dragon Roar!

With such a good opponent to practice his swordsmanship on, how could Xu Yan let him go?

The color drained from Yin Hong’s face. He was deeply aware of how terrifying this sword strike was. His folding fan was spinning in his hand, with layers of shocking wave-like power emerging one after another.

At the same time, he was inwardly guarded against the terrifying influence of the dragon’s roar.

Still, the moment the dragon’s roar sounded, he still felt as if he were being drawn into a world of mountains and rivers.

As if in the next moment, he would be buried within the mountains and rivers.

“Ah!”

Yin Hong roared in anger, continuously exerting his full power. The shocking waves rolled, and he managed to extricate himself from the realm of the mountains and rivers and quickly retreated!

Shh!

A slash was cut into his chest clothes, and he was furious.

“Dare to threaten me? Half-baked thing, who gave you the courage?”

Xu Yan’s sword struck out again and again.

The dragon’s roar kept ringing out, and the image of mountains and rivers kept emerging, forcing Yin Hong to continuously dodge, looking extremely pathetic. His purple robe was nearly reduced to rags.

A small bloody cut also appeared on his shoulder.

Yet, he was still a half-step Great Grandmaster. Despite being in a pathetic state, he had not received any fatal injuries.

“I can’t continue like this. This lad’s swordsmanship is peculiar; it seems to become more powerful the more he fights. A single carelessness could lead me to fall into his hands!”

Yin Hong felt a chill in his heart and thought of retreating.

Du Yuying and the others were shaken. What kind of swordsplay was this? It was incredibly strong, as if it contained some profound mystery of the universe. Yin Hong was forced into a disgusting state.

This was a half-step Great Grandmaster, whose terrifying power far surpassed that of a Grandmaster Martial Artist.

And Yin Hong was even more outstanding among the half-step Great Grandmasters, an existence rumored to be invincible except by a Great Grandmaster.

At this moment, he no longer retained his refined demeanor. His hair was disheveled, and his purple robe had turned into strips of cloth hanging from his body, with intersecting bloody cuts faintly visible.

Although the wounds were not deep, only superficial bloody cuts, it was enough to show how dangerous Yin Hong’s situation was.

If he was a little slow in responding, he could fall on the spot.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at Yin Hong with surprise. “This guy is strong. I can’t kill him!”

After the battle, Xu Yan also understood his own strength and at what level he was in the Inner Domain.

He was stronger than a half-step Great Grandmaster but weaker than a Great Grandmaster.

However, killing a powerful half-step Great Grandmaster like Yin Hong was not easy!
