"Spar? Don't worry, I'm just sparring with you too," Yan Yuyan said.
Feng Qi's expression turned to one of terror, feeling a chill down his spine.
He knew very well that facing Yan Yuyan would be tantamount to seeking death.
"Yan Yuyan, as a renowned Golden Core Sword Immortal, you come to my Beastmaster Sect's territory to bully the younger disciples. Do you think my Beastmaster Sect has no one to stand against you?"
A furious voice echoed throughout the East Huafang Market.
The speaker was also a woman.
However, unlike Yan Yuyan, Mu Yunxin, and others, this woman was hunchbacked, with an aged face, and wrinkled skin that resembled old tree bark.
Her complexion was extremely gloomy, giving off an ominous feeling.
Upon seeing her, Yan Yuyan was not surprised; it was clear she had expected this.
"Tu Lian, you finally came out. It's not in vain that I wasted so much breath here," Yan Yuyan remarked.
Tu Lian's gaze swept over Yan Yuyan's stunning beauty and tall, graceful figure, a flash of jealousy quickly passing through her eyes.
Her aged features grew even darker.
"Are you deliberately luring me out? What is your purpose?" Tu Lian asked.
"Naturally, I want to fight you," Yan Yuyan replied, her eyes sparkling with intensity.
A snow-white long sword suddenly appeared in front of her.
As soon as the long sword emerged, a murderous aura began to permeate the air.
Piercing sword energy stirred around them.
Tu Lian's murky gaze abruptly turned fierce.
"If you want to fight, then I'll oblige you."
With that, Tu Lian shot into the sky, flying dozens of miles away from the market, waiting for Yan Yuyan.
Holding the snow-white long sword, Yan Yuyan transformed into a flickering shadow, rushing towards Tu Lian.
The distance between them was still ten miles.
Yan Yuyan's momentum suddenly surged.
"Yan Ning Sword! Slash!"
The snow-white long sword gleamed with cold light as it soared into the sky like a roaming dragon!
Tu Lian's expression slightly changed.
"So, you've already broken through to the late Golden Core stage. No wonder you dare to challenge me."
"This Yan Ning Sword of yours won't be able to harm me."
"Blood Kui Armor, appear!"
Tu Lian's hunchbacked form suddenly straightened.
A bloodthirsty madness surged forth from her.
A two-meter-tall, egg-shaped, fleshy sphere appeared before her.
The flesh-colored sphere was blood-red and emitted a strong scent of blood.
It was composed of tightly wrapped meat petals.
The petals quickly opened like blossoming flowers.
A long, slender tentacle gradually revealed itself.
The tentacle extended, entering Tu Lian's mouth.
Tu Lian's expression suddenly turned agonizing.
The opened flesh sphere abruptly bounced, turning upside down, wrapping Tu Lian completely within.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Tu Lian's heart-wrenching screams echoed from within the flesh sphere.
After a moment,
The cries of pain subsided.
A towering humanoid monster suddenly appeared.
It was entirely blood-red, covered with a thick layer of hard bone armor.
Its head had a sharp, single horn, and its back was lined with sharp bone spikes, trailing a thick tail over two meters long, radiating explosive power.
Although it took a long time to explain, but in fact, from start to finish, it only took a single breath for Tu Lian to complete her transformation.
At this moment, the Yan Ning Sword had already closed in on Tu Lian.
Tu Lian raised her broad right hand, using it like a knife to slash at the flying sword.
"Clang!"
The flying sword struck her palm, producing a sound like metal colliding.
Sparks flew!
The Yan Ning Sword was knocked away by the strike.
Tu Lian shook her right hand, seemingly feeling some pain.
"What is this?"
From a distance, Song Wen's face was filled with shock.
Beside him, Feng Qi stared intently at the monster, his eyes burning with enthusiasm.
"This is the Blood Kui Beast, a unique spirit beast of the Beastmaster Sect. It can parasitize on a human body, transforming into an indestructible Blood Kui Armor."
"Blood Kui Beast!"
This was the first time he had heard this name.
The Blood Kui Beast and the Blood Armor looked too terrifying; it was hard to see them as anything good.
The battle between Tu Lian and Yan Yuyan continued.
The Yan Ning Sword was unstoppable.
The Blood Armor was as solid as a fortress.
Yan Yuyan and Tu Lian fought evenly, and it was difficult to determine a winner.
At the beginning, both sides were somewhat restrained, but gradually, it seemed they were fighting with all their might.
The aftermath of the battle swept around like a hurricane, devastating everything in its path.
The battlefield was in disarray.
The ground shook, and rocks shattered.
Scattered sword energy shredded stone and wood.
The swirling winds kicked up endless dust.
This caused countless loose cultivators in the market to feel terrified and watch from a distance.
Just as everyone was captivated by the battle between Yan Yuyan and Tu Lian,
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
The figure appeared like a ghost, without any warning, as if conjured from thin air.
In fact, his appearance did not draw anyone else's attention.
Only the four on the flying ship in front of the Heavenly Spring Pavilion—Song Wen and the others, along with Ji Ruxue and her companions—noticed this figure.
The injured Leng Tianlu had already been rescued by Feng Qi, who had given him a healing elixir, temporarily stabilizing his injuries.
All of them were filled with fear.
The newcomer seemed to be enveloped in a layer of mist, making it hard to see clearly; they could only make out a blurry silhouette standing outside the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
As soon as the strange figure appeared, an ethereal, transcendent woman strolled out from the Heavenly Spring Pavilion.
Song Wen was once again shocked.
This woman was the Mature woman he had a fleeting connection with.
She had been hidden inside the Heavenly Spring Pavilion all along and hadn't left.
Perhaps she was the reason Ji Ruxue, Mu Yunxin, and Yan Yuyan dared to confront the Beastmaster Sect in East Huafang Market.
"Yang Yu, you finally showed up. It's truly not easy to meet you," the Mature Woman said.
Ji Ruxue's massacre of the spirit beasts of the Great Yan Kingdom, and Mu Yunxin and Yan Yuyan causing a stir in East Huafang Market, were all to draw out Yang Yu.
"Lan Chen, it seems your Hehuan Sect and Profound Heaven Sword Sect have formed an alliance to jointly deal with my Beastmaster Sect?" the shadowy figure spoke.
The Mature Woman called Lan Chen waved her hand, and an invisible barrier enveloped her and Yang Yu.
Instantly, onlookers could only see two silhouettes standing in front of the Heavenly Spring Pavilion, unable to hear any sounds from within the barrier.
"We have no choice but to ally; we had no other options."
"The five righteous sects have been preparing for years to initiate a righteous-evil war, solely to obtain the method to advance to the Deity Transformation stage from the Corpse Demon Sect."
"Unexpectedly, your Beastmaster Sect secretly contacted the Corpse Demon Sect early on, not only leaking the righteous path's plans that had been years in the making. During the siege of the Corpse Demon Sect, the Beastmaster Sect acted merely for show and did not put in any real effort."
"The Nine Palaces Sect even directly defected from the righteous path and colluded with the demonic path, catching the righteous path off guard, leading to severe injuries for three cultivators from the Lei family and the Mixed Yuan Temple, greatly diminishing the strength of both factions."
"In this battle, both the Beastmaster Sect and the Nine Palaces Sect gained a lot. Meanwhile, our Hehuan Sect and Profound Heaven Sword Sect sacrificed many disciples in vain and gained nothing, so we had no choice but to form an alliance and plot methods for transformation into Deity."
