46: Cheating, Madman Pill

"Inner Sect Disciple Qiao Beiming requests guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Beiming struck, slamming his palm onto the ground.

Jiang Yunfan looked utterly confused.

What's going on?

He's hitting the ground instead of the person.

The next second, incredibly sharp spikes grew out of the arena floor. Jiang Yunfan hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding being pierced.

This move was too insidious.

A moment of carelessness would result in being stabbed.

"Profound Earth True Body."

A gigantic earthen figure condensed.

The earthen figure slapped a palm toward Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan quickly dodged, attacking simultaneously, but his attack failed to break the earthen figure; its defense was too strong.

Soon, Jiang Yunfan was struck by the earthen figure's palm and sent flying.

"Brother."

"Big Brother."

Jiang Yurou and Lu Yun were extremely anxious.

Ji Yao, however, showed no trace of nervousness.

After Dual Cultivation with her, Jiang Yunfan now possessed a power of Nirvana within him. This power of Nirvana could help him recover from any injury, and even if he died, it could save his life.

This meant Jiang Yunfan essentially had an extra life.

Of course, Jiang Yunfan himself didn't know this.

Otherwise, his tail would be wagging in the sky.

Pfft!

Jiang Yunfan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

It was clear that the earthen figure's slap had hit him with considerable force.

The earthen figure stomped its foot toward Jiang Yunfan, who quickly avoided it.

"One Sword Separating Worlds."

Jiang Yunfan condensed the True Essence around his body onto his Fire Meridian, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth frantically gathered on the sword in his hand. He struck out with a sword, and a Sword Qi compressed to the extreme instantly struck the earthen figure, shattering and piercing its defense.

"Loud thunder but small raindrops! Can such a small Sword Qi actually hurt anyone?"

Someone mocked him from below the arena.

The next second, the earthen figure was torn apart by the powerful Sword Qi.

Blood flowed from Qiao Beiming's arm, indicating he was injured.

This scene greatly shocked the person who had just mocked Jiang Yunfan.

They never expected such a small Sword Qi to possess such immense power, actually breaking the Profound Earth True Body, which was known for its supreme defense.

"As expected of a True Disciple, he is indeed very strong."

"Just concede! Although your cultivation is higher than mine, in terms of actual strength, you are still inferior."

"I only used fifty percent of my strength just now."

Fifty percent? He boasts even more than I do.

Jiang Yunfan also began to boast, "I only used twenty percent of my strength myself."

Qiao Beiming's expression turned cold. "Arrogant."

He refined the Medicinal Pill held in his palm.

[todays intelligence (Red): Qiao Beiming is refining the Frenzy Demon Pill. After refining it, his strength will increase by more than twofold.]

Holy hell!

This guy is cheating.

Qiao Beiming's strength instantly surged, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. He punched out, and his True Essence transformed into a streak of white silk heading toward Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan swung his sword to block the True Essence.

So strong.

Jiang Yunfan was struggling greatly.

After resisting for only a few breaths, he could no longer hold on and was sent flying by the tyrannical True Essence.

The sudden reversal stunned the crowd.

"How did Qiao Beiming's strength suddenly increase so much? Was he hiding his true power all this time!"

"I knew it was impossible for someone of Qiao Beiming's strength to lose so easily to Jiang Yunfan! So he was hiding his strength. This is his true power. Beat Jiang Yunfan senseless for me! I've wanted to hit him for a long time."

Ever since the news that Jiang Yunfan was Ji Yao's matrilocal son-in-law spread throughout the Lingxiao Sect, Jiang Yunfan had become the enemy of many Disciples. If Ji Yao hadn't spoken up to protect him, he would have been taught a lesson long ago.

Seeing Jiang Yunfan suppressed by Qiao Beiming, Xiao Yan sneered internally. Dare to steal my woman? You must pay the price.

Qiao Beiming once again deployed the Profound Earth True Body.

Jiang Yunfan controlled the Earth Core Fire and sent it burning toward Qiao Beiming.

Ignoring the burning Earth Core Fire, Qiao Beiming stomped his foot toward Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan quickly dodged, but suddenly many spikes emerged from the ground, forcing Jiang Yunfan to fly into the air. Qiao Beiming slapped at him. He swung his sword, but the Sword Qi was scattered, and he was struck by the slap, sent flying, injured, and spitting blood.

Damn it.

Jiang Yunfan was enraged.

He immediately unleashed the Boundless Star River Sword Art. He struck out with his sword, and the Sword Qi shot toward Qiao Beiming like a meteor shower, but the Sword Qi was blocked by the Profound Earth True Body.

The Profound Earth True Body had extremely strong defenses. Coupled with Qiao Beiming refining the Frenzy Demon Pill, which multiplied his strength several times, his power was now comparable to a Spirit Transformation Realm expert.

Ji Yao frowned slightly. Qiao Beiming was not a Spiritual Body, so how could his strength be so immense?

"One Sword Breaks the Star River."

Streams of Sword Qi gathered and formed a giant sword, which slashed toward the Profound Earth True Body.

The Profound Earth True Body struck the giant sword with a punch.

Two powerful forces collided.

Break!

Jiang Yunfan roared angrily.

The giant sword broke through the Profound Earth True Body's defense, but the giant sword also shattered, turning into Sword Qi that filled the sky, like falling stars.

Jiang Yunfan was sent flying by the powerful force, his Meridians damaged, and he was injured and spitting blood.

But because he possessed the power of Nirvana, his damaged Meridians rapidly recovered.

Qiao Beiming's strength, however, began to diminish.

Although the Frenzy Demon Pill could multiply his strength, it had a time limit.

Once the time was up, his vital energy would deplete, his True Essence would dry up, and the side effects would be significant.

Jiang Yunfan flew up, absorbing the Sun Essence around him. His entire body emitted a blinding light, making it impossible for people to open their eyes; those with Spiritual Sense used it to peer through.

Jiang Yunfan gathered the power of the sun and struck a palm in mid-air. An immensely massive, supremely firm and Yang palm print attacked Qiao Beiming. Qiao Beiming gathered his strength and met it with his own palm.

Both men poured out their full strength.

The two palm prints collided.

Qiao Beiming's True Essence was incomparably tyrannical, blocking Jiang Yunfan's Nine Yang Divine Palm. However, Jiang Yunfan was continuously absorbing the Sun Essence, providing endless power. The longer the stalemate lasted, the greater the power of the Nine Yang Divine Palm became.

After a moment of deadlock.

Qiao Beiming's strength began to weaken, and he could no longer sustain the defense.

No!

He let out an unwilling roar.

Boom!

The Nine Yang Divine Palm slammed onto the arena, causing the entire platform to shake.

Qiao Beiming was crushed by the palm print, his bones shattered, and his Meridians damaged. He coughed up large amounts of blood, and a searing heat within his body burned his internal organs, causing him unbearable pain.

Jiang Yunfan landed on the arena, panting heavily, his True Essence nearly exhausted. Looking at the severely injured Qiao Beiming, he sneered internally. Did he think cheating would let him win against me? He underestimated me too much.

"What Divine Ability is this? It actually possesses such immense power."

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Yunfan's palm strike.

Jiang Yunfan was only in the Profound Understanding Late Stage Realm, yet he possessed combat power comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm. It was terrifying.

Seeing that Jiang Yunfan had won, a hint of a smile appeared on Ji Yao's cold face.

Xiao Yan's expression was exceedingly grim. Mei Niansheng, standing beside him, quickly said, "Senior Brother, I apologize. I didn't expect Qiao Beiming's attack wouldn't be enough to defeat Jiang Yunfan."

Xiao Yan said, "Don't blame yourself. Jiang Yunfan's strength exceeded my expectations. No one in the same Realm can defeat him. I underestimated him."

The stronger Jiang Yunfan became, the greater his pressure grew.

This was a formidable opponent.

Jiang Yunfan had stolen Ji Yao and also threatened his position as Sect Master. The position of Lingxiao Sect Sect Master belonged to him, and anyone who dared to compete with him was his enemy.

"Who else?"

Jiang Yunfan shouted loudly once more.

His domineering aura leaked out.

All the Disciples were intimidated.

No one dared to step up and challenge him.

Only someone with a screw loose who wanted to humiliate themselves would go up and challenge Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan became the first Arena Master to successfully defend his position.
