Chapter 0561: Fire Mystic Body

Chapter 0561: Blazing Profound Physique

The strength Qin Yun displayed at this moment was indeed formidable, far beyond a typical Ninth Layer Martial Path expert.

When Liu Chongsheng arm-wrestled Qin Yun, he’d already recognized Qin Yun’s strength.

However, he would never admit this fact. Instead, he doubled down on smearing Qin Yun to ensure others wouldn’t look down on him.

Now, Qin Yun’s display of extraordinary strength let everyone gauge his true capabilities.

“Come at me if you’ve got the guts!” Qin Yun swept his cold gaze across the crowd.

“Fine! I’ll come!” A middle-aged man with a broad forehead sneered. “You’re strong, I’ll give you that, but don’t even dream of taking on someone in the Spiritual Martial Realm!”

The broad-foreheaded man looked at Qin Yun with disdain and declared loudly, “I am Du Anyuan of the Ten Thousand Stars Sect, wielder of the Purple Gold Wind Martial Soul. If you can’t even take me out, forget about challenging Liu Chongsheng!”

Liu Chongsheng quickly interjected, “Just drop it, Brother Du. If you fight him and he uses poison, you won’t have any proof, and he’ll turn it around on you!”

“He managed to injure a disciple of the Cold Star Valley with a single punch earlier, but that was only because he sucker-punched them. It proves nothing!”

Du Anyuan nodded. “Liu’s got a point. If he suddenly uses poison mid-fight, I truly wouldn’t be able to prove it.”

Qin Yun knew Liu’s game—no matter what, he would insist Qin Yun had used poison. This way, Liu Chongsheng wouldn’t be ridiculed for losing the arm-wrestling match.

Qin Yun had to hand it to Liu Chongsheng’s cunning tactics.

Moreover, Liu Chongsheng was too chicken to fight Qin Yun directly. By insisting on the poison accusation, he could avoid the fight altogether.

This left Qin Yun with no way to clear his name.

Clenching his fists, Qin Yun said coldly, “Du Anyuan, from here, how the hell could I poison you? If I drop you in an instant, that alone would prove my strength without any need for poison!”

“If you can cross this distance in a flash and defeat me, that would be some next-level shit. Even a prodigy like Liu wouldn’t pull it off!” Du Anyuan chuckled. “If you fail, you must give me fifty thousand jin of Celestial Beast bones. How about that?”

Hearing his demand for Celestial Beast bones, the crowd mentally groaned.

Du Anyuan jumping into this confrontation was clearly in it for the loot.

“Fine. But if you lose, you’re getting wrecked. So I won’t ask for any Celestial Beast bones from you.” Qin Yun tightened his fists, charging up.

“With such a distance between us and no chance to use poison, you’ve got zero chance to drop me in one hit, let alone wreck me!”

No matter how Du Anyuan thought about it, he couldn’t imagine Qin Yun defeating him.

“Now, I’ll prove my strength—without poison! And you’ll face the consequences!” Qin Yun’s face was stone-cold.

Liu Chongsheng frowned as he watched. Even he wasn’t confident he could defeat Du Anyuan in an instant.

Though Du Anyuan had only recently entered the Spiritual Martial Realm, he was no joke.

“I’ll call the start!” Du Anyuan shouted, “Begin!”

The moment the word left his mouth—

Qin Yun blinked out of existence!

Du Anyuan immediately zipped a kilometer away in a flash.

Yet, to everyone’s shock, the moment Du Anyuan reached that distance, Qin Yun caught up and slammed him into the dirt!

The power of the Sky Lion Mystic Body, combined with the Hunyuan Dao Force, surged through Qin Yun!

These two forces of different natures merged perfectly, unleashing an overwhelmingly powerful might.

Despite Du Anyuan wearing armor, Qin Yun's punch shattered his dantian!

Du Anyuan, lying on the ground, was sent flying with a brutal kick by Qin Yun!

"This is the price of his defeat! Did he truly think winning 50,000 catties of Celestial Beast bones would be so easy?" Qin Yun sneered coldly.

Earlier, when a disciple of Froststar Valley was crippled, no one from Froststar Valley dared to speak up.

Now that it was a disciple of the Myriad Stars Sect who was crippled, they also remained silent!

Behind Qin Yun stood Divine Armaments City, a formidable immortal sect!

Everyone drew sharp breaths as they watched Du Anyuan writhing on the ground.

Qin Yun's strength was truly terrifying—he had defeated a Spirit Martial expert with his bare hands in seconds.

"Anyone else who doubts I used poison, step forward now! I'll make you submit without a doubt!" Qin Yun said coldly to the crowd.

At this point, no one dared to say another word!

From the way Qin Yun attacked, there was simply no opportunity or need to use poison.

Defeating a Spirit Martial expert in an instant made using poison utterly pointless.

Qin Yun turned his gaze to a bull-necked, round-faced man and said coldly, "You were the one shouting earlier, accusing me of poisoning, and you were quite loud about it! Now, shouldn’t you clarify things for me? Accusing me of poisoning—I will pursue this to the end!"

"Yun Daren, you only bully minor sects, but I’m a core disciple of the Canghuo Immortal Mountain! I’m not afraid of you!" the bull-necked man mocked loudly. "I just thought you might have poisoned him, so I said it casually. Why should I care whether you actually did?"

"Then you should apologize for it now!" Qin Yun demanded.

"Apologize? Who do you think you are? A temporary disciple who hasn’t even officially joined Divine Armaments City dares to act so arrogantly in front of me? I’m a core disciple of the Canghuo Immortal Mountain—"

"So what?" Qin Yun's words rang out like thunder.

As soon as he spoke, he appeared right in front of the bull-necked man.

With a punch through the air, a devastating shockwave erupted, pummeling the man repeatedly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The concussive force rumbled like thunder, hitting the man nine times in a row.

Flesh ruptured as the man coughed up nine mouthfuls of blood before collapsing to the ground, twitching violently—clearly on death's door!

Qin Yun had channeled a trace of earthquake-inducing divine force, capable of triggering internal tremors within his opponent’s body—the most terrifying aspect of his attack.

The disciples of the Canghuo Immortal Mountain who witnessed this scene seethed with rage.

Seeing Qin Yun defeat yet another powerful Spirit Martial expert, the crowd scrambled back in fear.

"Brothers, capture him now!" the injured bull-necked man snarled furiously.

Ke Mingjiang, seeing Qin Yun about to be surrounded, suddenly shouted, "You shameless curs! That man was defeated honorably in a duel, yet you refuse to accept the consequences of defeat!"

As he spoke, Jian Mang blurred into motion and took his place beside Qin Yun.

Jian Mang gripped a razor-edged longsword, the oppressive sword intent making those who approached feel utterly terrified.

"People of the Canghuo Immortal Mountain, step back. I don’t want trouble with you, but if you go too far, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"

Jian Mang’s voice brooked no argument—his lifebound sword wasn’t for show.

A Ninth Layer Martial Path sword cultivator’s lifebound sword was as formidable as a mystical weapon, honed to flawless perfection.

This was exactly why sword cultivators were terrifying.

Though Ke Mingjiang was injured, Jian Mang’s strength was enough to take on multiple Spirit Martial Realm fighters.

Liu Chongsheng wouldn’t face Jian Mang in battle precisely because he feared his power.

The Canghuo Immortal Mountain disciples, who had just closed in, backed off with clenched teeth upon seeing Jian Mang.

"The poison accusers, step forward and apologize!" Qin Yun’s voice remained calm, making it clear he wanted no further conflict.

The poison accusers now stepped forward one after another to apologize.

The reason Liu Chongsheng had convinced so many that Qin Yun used poison was precisely because Qin Yun was only at the Ninth Layer Martial Path.

Now, Qin Yun had demonstrated through sheer power that he could match any Spirit Martial Realm fighter, finally convincing the crowd.

"Liu Chongsheng, and the rest of you—you’re the liars who framed me!" Qin Yun’s cold gaze fell upon Liu Chongsheng and his followers, his tone laced with anger. "If you don’t apologize, you’ll regret it!"

"I admit, you have formidable strength! We’ll fight you. This whole act is just about those Celestial Beast bones, isn’t it?"

Liu Chongsheng would never apologize. In this situation, his only option was crushing Qin Yun with his own strength.

If he kept avoiding it, everyone would think Liu Chongsheng was afraid.

"Yun Daren, let’s settle this! How about 100,000 jin of Celestial Beast bones?" Liu Chongsheng looked at Ke Mingjiang.

Having witnessed Qin Yun’s strength earlier, Ke Mingjiang quickly said, "100,000? That’s not enough! Liu Chongsheng, let’s make it 200,000 jin. Unless you’re chicken!"

"Hahaha, perfect! Since you’re so generous as to gift me so many Celestial Beast bones, I’ll gladly take them off your hands!"

Liu Chongsheng was extremely confident in his own strength.

Ke Mingjiang and the others had already lost twice, totaling 100,000 jin.

Even if they lost another 200,000 jin, they could afford the loss, so Ke Mingjiang wasn’t afraid of losing.

Liu Chongsheng had finally accepted the challenge!

The spectators scrambled back further.

"Yun Daren, three slaps? I’ll return three hundred!"

As Liu Chongsheng spoke, his hair whipped about violently, its black strands turning into flame-licked violet-gold.

"It’s a fire totem—the totem is in his hair!"

"Liu Chongsheng is finally showing his real strength!"

"Such a young totem warrior is truly rare!"

"Wait… Do you feel that? His body seems to have a strange aura."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately strained to sense it.

"It's the Xuan Body! The legendary Xuan Body, that’s the aura of the Xuan Body!"

"A Fire Xuan Body! No wonder he holds such a high status in the Medicine Immortal Valley. So, he possesses this incredible constitution!"

The crowd burst into excited shouts.

Although everyone knew that various sects and factions had rare disciples with Xuan Bodies, they were usually shrouded in mystery and rarely made public appearances.

Witnessing one in person now left them utterly astonished—especially such a young disciple with a Xuan Body.
