201: Chapter 201 Such a genius?!

Ten miles away, Ye Xuan did not even glance at them.

Those narrow, dark red eyes merely swept indifferently over the corpses of the Crimson Wolves in the valley before looking away, as if Shen Chong and the others were not even worth his attention.

His figure flashed, and he darted toward the depths of the mountain range.

His speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crimson mountains.

Shen Chong and the others stood on the ridge, watching that crimson figure disappear into the depths of the canyon, silent for a long time.

"That person... what kind of cultivation level is that?" Shen Quan swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.

Sun Buer's expression was grave as he stared fixedly in the direction Ye Xuan had disappeared, enunciating each word: "At least the sixth level of the Dharma Image Realm, and not an ordinary Dharma Image Realm Cultivator at that. His Foundation is solid, and his spiritual energy is deep, far exceeding ordinary Cultivators."

Shen Chong was silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "How could there be such an existence among the younger generation?"

He had always been very confident, but today he felt crushed.

Sun Buer pondered for a moment before exclaiming in shock: "Tiansha Abyss, Young Master Chisha, Ye Xuan."

Shen Quan turned his head abruptly, staring wide-eyed at Sun Buer: "You know him?"

"I don't know him personally," Sun Buer shook his head, "but I know of him. He is the legitimate son of Tiansha Abyss Master Ye Chen. By twenty-eight, he had already stepped into the Peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Image Realm, hailed as the most outstanding Genius in the Tiansha Abyss for a thousand years."

Shen Quan gasped, completely stunned.

Twenty-eight years old, Peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Image Realm.

What kind of concept was this?

He was twenty-one now, at the fourth level of the Huahong Realm, which was top-tier among the younger generation in Guangnan City and could even be considered a Genius in the entire Southern Region.

But compared to Ye Xuan, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

"What kind of Holy Land is this Tiansha Abyss?" Shen Quan's voice was strained, "To be able to cultivate such a terrifying Genius!"

A grave look appeared on Sun Buer's face as he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tiansha Abyss is a Holy Land of the Demonic Path in the Central Plains. It is the most prominent force in the Central Plains over the last ten thousand years. Not only are there multiple Saints, but the Tiansha Abyss Master is an existence at the Peak of the Saint King Realm! When the Heavenly Fiend Demon Venerable was still alive, Tiansha Abyss was already a renowned Holy Land of the Demonic Path. Later, when the Heavenly Fiend Demon Venerable suddenly fell, Tiansha Abyss was taken over by his trusted aide Ye Chen, yet it did not decline; instead, it became increasingly powerful!"

"Tiansha Abyss is actually this powerful?" Shen Quan's eyes widened, and then he felt a bit melancholy, "With Ye Xuan's powerful strength, I'm afraid no one in this Sacred Tower is his match. The Legacy in the Sacred Tower will likely fall into his hands."

Hearing this, Shen Chong and Sun Buer remained silent.

That Ye Xuan was simply too terrifying; they felt utterly powerless in their hearts.

A moment later, Shen Chong let out a long breath, his eyes firm, "In the future, we may not necessarily be unable to beat him."

As he spoke, he charged straight toward the distant Yao Beasts.

Seeing this, Sun Buer and Shen Quan felt their fighting spirit ignited and hurriedly followed.

The crimson mountain range rolled and undulated, with blood-colored sunlight staining the entire land a dark red.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, and the roars of Yao Beasts could be heard from afar, shaking the mountains slightly.

Shen Chong and the others hunted Yao Beasts along the way, absorbing the power of Qi and blood, their cultivation levels steadily climbing.

Shen Chong had broken through from the sixth level of the Huahong Realm to the seventh, the aura of his Azure Wood Precious Body becoming increasingly rich, the green halo around him almost solidifying.

Shen Quan had also broken through to the fifth level of the Huahong Realm, the power of his Acquired Treasure Body surging; with one punch, he could shatter the scales of a second-level Dharma Image Realm Yao Beast.

Sun Buer also benefited greatly; his cultivation at the second level of the Dharma Image Realm was completely solidified, and the spiritual energy in his body was several times thicker than before.

"At this rate, it won't be long before I can break through to the Dharma Image Realm!" Shen Quan sent a Crimson Wolf flying with a punch, his face flushed with excitement.

Shen Chong stood with his sword retracted, his expression calm, but a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

Just then—

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several sharp sounds of piercing through the air came from afar.

Shen Chong frowned and turned his head abruptly.

Dozens of figures were seen rushing over from the southeast direction, their speed astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, they landed in front of them, surrounding them completely.

Leading them was a young man in brocade robes, about eighteen or nineteen years old. His face was decent enough, but his eyes revealed arrogance, his chin slightly lifted, nostrils pointed to the sky, radiating an air of "don't mess with me."

It was none other than the Young Sect Master of the Tianyang Sect—Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian.

Behind him followed a dozen Tianyang Sect Disciples, each with a steady aura; the weakest were at the Peak of the Huahong Realm, and the strongest were at the second or third level of the Dharma Image Realm.

Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Shen Chong and the others with a smug smile on his lips.

"Yo, aren't these the two losers from the Shen Family? You have quite a lot of luck to have made it to the fifth floor."

Shen Quan's face darkened, and he clenched his fists.

Sun Buer stepped forward, blocking in front of Shen Chong and Shen Quan, looking coldly at Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian: "Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian sneered, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, full of greed, "You three have hunted so many Yao Beasts on the fifth floor; you must have accumulated a lot of Qi and blood power, right? Hand it over obediently, and this Young Master will spare your lives. Otherwise—"

He paused, his aura of the fourth level of the Dharma Image Realm erupting, suppressing them.

"Today will be your death day!"

Behind him, a dozen Tianyang Sect Disciples took a step forward in unison, their auras of the Dharma Image Realm and Huahong Realm intertwined like an invisible net, tightly enveloping Shen Chong and the others.

Sun Buer's expression remained unchanged. Although he was only at the second level of the Dharma Image Realm, his combat power was much stronger than these ordinary Dharma Image Realm Cultivators of the Tianyang Sect.

He could kill Cultivators of the first or second level of the Dharma Image Realm with a single sword strike, so he naturally didn't take these Tianyang Sect Cultivators seriously.

Shen Chong and Shen Quan on the side were also indifferent.

Shen Quan even asked with interest: "If this power of Qi and blood has already been absorbed by someone, how can it be handed over?"

"Hehe! You're quite sensible!" Young Sect Master Yang Dingtian thought Shen Quan was going to give in, and immediately became even more smug, "In this Secret Realm, as long as you defeat someone, you can obtain the power of Qi and blood they have accumulated."

As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them and laughed wildly: "Of course, if I kill you, I can still obtain your power of Qi and blood just the same."

"Oh~" Shen Quan dragged out the tone and grinned, "That's a good method."

"Kill!" He shouted and charged directly toward the Tianyang Sect members.
