744: Chapter 744 The Grandmaster's Overpowering Strength!!!

The golden Gilded Spear Qi collided violently with the blue, red, and grey-black tri-colored Spear Qi, erupting with a deafening roar.

Light splashed everywhere, and waves of Qi surged.

The golden light and the tri-colored light intertwined, like two torrents fiercely confronting each other in the Void Realm.

As the two Spear Qi clashed, Qin Yan's tri-colored Spear Qi was being gradually eroded and destroyed by the opponent's Gilded Spear Qi.

The Gilded Spear Qi was like a golden torrent, striking the tri-colored Spear Qi wave after wave.

After a few breaths, the tri-colored Spear Qi turned into energy bubbles, drifting away with the wind.

The Ice Flame power dissipated, the Destruction power was annihilated, and the tri-colored light dimmed, turning into specks of light that vanished into the Void Realm.

The light surrounding that Gilded Spear Qi was also significantly reduced. The originally dazzling gold became much dimmer.

Although the tri-colored Spear Qi did not block the Gilded Spear Qi, it had at least consumed more than half of its power.

Immediately after, that Gilded Spear Qi struck directly towards Qin Yan!

The remaining Spear Qi, although greatly reduced in power, still could not be underestimated.

Its speed remained fast, and its power remained strong.

Qin Yan's pupils instantly turned pitch black, like two miniature black holes, deep and gloomy.

He pushed his Mental Energy to the limit, and the Darkness Power surged and boiled within his body.

He whispered: "Darkness Guard."

As his voice fell, Darkness Power surged around Qin Yan, rapidly condensing, intertwining, and wrapping around his body surface, forming a pitch-black defensive barrier.

The defensive barrier was spherical, enveloping Qin Yan entirely.

Darkness Guard—one of the skills comprehended by the Shadow Clone, a defensive skill that uses Darkness Power to condense a shield, capable of blocking enemy attacks.

Its power depends on the caster's Mental Energy intensity.

The Gilded Spear Qi landed on the dark barrier, erupting with dazzling light. Golden light and black light intertwined fiercely, illuminating everything around.

The gold tried to tear through the darkness, while the darkness tried to devour the gold.

The two forces clashed fiercely at the point of contact, neither giving way.

The light lasted for a moment, then gradually dissipated.

After the light faded, Qin Yan's dark barrier had been broken.

The pitch-black light shattered and dissipated, turning into specks of black light that drifted in the Void Realm.

Qin Yan's body was exposed to the air, without any protection.

However, that Gilded Spear Qi had also dissipated!

Grandmaster Jin Feng's strike had been blocked by Qin Yan.

The first wave of Spear Qi was mostly consumed by the tri-colored Spear Qi; the remaining part was completely blocked by the dark barrier.

Two lines of defense, layer by layer, ultimately dissolved that terrifying Gilded Spear Qi into nothingness.

Qin Yan had blocked this strike!

...

"Did I see that right? This kid blocked a Grandmaster's strike with the strength of a Rank 6 Peak!" Below, a Martial Artist widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"This Qin Yan is truly formidable!" another Martial Artist exclaimed, his voice filled with admiration.

"Investigate for me, I want all the information on this Qin Yan!" a leader of a faction ordered his subordinate, his eyes fixed tightly on Qin Yan in the air.

"..."

The Martial Artists gathered below were whispering to one another. Their gazes held shock, admiration, and calculation.

A Rank 6 Peak Martial Artist had actually blocked a Grandmaster's strike—although Grandmaster Jin Feng might not have used his full strength, and although Qin Yan had used various trump cards—it was still an incredible feat.

Jiang Li watched Qin Yan block the Grandmaster's strike, and she also breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing slightly.

Her gaze was fixed tightly on Qin Yan in the air, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Qin Yan was even stronger than she had imagined.

In the air, Grandmaster Jin Feng's face looked ugly, so gloomy it was almost dripping water.

As a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster, failing to take down this kid in front of him with one Move was simply a humiliation to him!

However, at the same time, he was secretly shocked by the other party's foundation.

This young man was far too much stronger than his grandson!

His grandson, Grandmaster Jinxuan, was also a Rank 6 Peak, considered a Genius in the Jin family, lacking no resources, having a decent Cultivation Technique, and a fairly good spirit weapon.

But compared to the young man in front of him, it was simply like a firefly competing with the bright moon.

Qin Yan looked at Grandmaster Jin Feng indifferently, his expression calm and his breathing steady.

In his heart, he was quickly evaluating the combat power of both of them.

Just now, he had unleashed his full power—Blood Burst with a one-fold amplification, the moyuan spirit weapon with a 2.3-fold amplification, Destruction Spear Intent with a 4-fold amplification, and his Perfection-level Ice Flame Spear Technique reached 3 million cards of Qi-blood under various amplifications—cumulatively, his Qi-Blood Burst reached nearly 17 million cards!

And Grandmaster Jin Feng's casual spear strike had a Qi-Blood Burst similar to his, also around 17 million cards.

This made Qin Yan even more certain—Grandmaster Jin Feng was truly trash.

One had to know, an average early-stage Grandmaster's base Qi-blood started at 3 million cards, which was more than double that of a Rank 6 Peak Prodigy Martial Artist.

And after Grandmaster Jin Feng's various amplifications from his spirit weapon, Domain, etc., his final Qi-Blood Burst only barely reached around 17 million cards. This showed that his amplification methods were extremely lacking—his spirit weapon was of low grade, his Domain was only the most ordinary Fifth-Grade Domain, and his comprehensive amplification multiplier was probably only a mere five-fold.

"However, a Grandmaster is still a Grandmaster. The opponent's Qi-blood and True Qi carry a trace of the power of heaven and earth. Even though the Qi-Blood Burst is clearly similar to mine, my Spear Qi is completely no match for the opponent's."

Qin Yan sighed, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of a Grandmaster.

Grandmaster powerhouses, also known as Seventh-Grade powerhouses, belong to the Advanced Martial Artist level among Martial Artists.

An Advanced Martial Artist's Qi-blood and True Qi have accepted the baptism of heaven and earth, and every Move contains the might of heaven and earth.

That kind of heaven and earth might cannot be measured by mere numbers.

With the same Qi-Blood Burst, the effect produced by a Grandmaster versus the effect produced by a Sixth-Rank are completely different concepts.

It's like the same Materials; the weapons forged by an ordinary person and those forged by a Great Master of sword-casting differ vastly in quality and power.

The numbers are the same, but the essence is different. A Grandmaster's Qi-blood is more solid, a Grandmaster's True Qi is more refined, and a Grandmaster's power is more concentrated.

With the same power, a Grandmaster can exert a stronger effect.

When Qin Yan's Spear Qi collided with Grandmaster Jin Feng's Spear Qi, Qin Yan's Spear Qi was eroded and destroyed, while Grandmaster Jin Feng's Spear Qi only had a portion of its power consumed.

This is not a matter of numbers, but a matter of quality.

"Grandmaster Jin Feng, whatever other Moves you have, just bring them out." Qin Yan raised his head and said in a calm tone.

That composure and calmness made the Martial Artists watching below couldn't help but admire him.

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Jin Feng's already livid old face instantly flushed red. "Kid, what just happened was merely a casual strike from this old man. You don't actually think you are this old man's match, do you? Next, I want to see how many strikes of mine you can block!"
