Chapter 0617: Back-to-Back Battles

Qin Yun had just stood up when he felt a crushing mountain-and-river aura pressing down on him, suffocating him. His body seemed immobilized by the crushing pressure, heavy and difficult to move.

"Qin Yun, I'm going to cripple you completely, so you can never hold your head up in front of Liu Jingmeng! Haha..."

Hua Xiyue's booming laughter accompanied his terrifying aura as it surged forward.

"I can't move—I have to counter!"

Seeing the fist about to strike, Qin Yun swiftly retaliated with a palm strike.

Ultimate Dragon Palm—Devouring Mountains and Rivers!

Using the power of his Profound Body, Qin Yun unleashed an incredibly terrifying ninefold Dao Momentum. The force of his Ultimate Dragon Palm was just as formidable.

Only inside the barrier did Hua Xiyue realize how terrifying Qin Yun's palm strike was—it suppressed his Mountain-Crushing River Force.

Boom!

Fist and palm collided, erupting in a shockwave.

Qin Yun was sent flying far back, crashing into the barrier.

Though Hua Xiyue was only forced back a few steps, he felt a bone-splintering pain in the bones of his arm, as if they had cracked.

A flood of disbelief surged through his heart.

In that brief moment of their clash, he had clearly sensed that Qin Yun's physique was just as terrifying as his own Profound Body.

Though Qin Yun was sent flying, he quickly stood up again, completely unfazed.

Seeing Qin Yun's astonishing resilience, the crowd erupted in astonished murmurs.

"Is Qin Yun wearing some kind of armor?"

"His body is so strong—it matches a Profound Body!"

"He just took two hits from Hua Xiyue and still stood up to fight. That's incredible!"

The spectators buzzed with excitement.

Jian Shitian said, "Qin Yun isn't wearing any armor. My barrier has detection capabilities."

Even Jian Ruyan no longer dared to underestimate Qin Yun after witnessing his monstrous physical strength.

Bao Changshou drew his brows together, having failed to recognize Qin Yun's strength earlier.

Inside the barrier, Hua Xiyue knew that Qin Yun hadn't even tapped into his Dao Force—he had only fought with his physical power.

Staring into Qin Yun's bottomless gaze, Hua Xiyue suddenly felt a primordial dread, sensing the abyssal power hidden within him.

But now, he was past the point of no return.

If he didn't defeat Qin Yun, not only would he lose face completely, but he would also lose two Yuanling Mystic Pills.

Jaw clenched, Hua Xiyue shot forward, unleashing a flurry of earth-shattering punches.

Each strike poured his entire being into drawing upon his Hunyuan Dao Force.

His totem was the Mountain Totem, which only enhanced his Dao Force. He hadn't mastered the Mountain Totem's martial arts yet.

Boom!

Qin Yun's body was struck by a colossal mountain once again.

Though he yelled in pain every time, he always managed to pop back up like nothing happened.

Hua Xiyue kept roaring, going all-out against Qin Yun with his strongest Hunyuan Dao Force, unleashing illusory mountains and rivers in a desperate attack.

The relentless bombardment of these illusory landscapes was awe-inspiring, especially when the massive mountains and roaring rivers collided, making an earth-shaking impact.

But the most shocking sight was Qin Yun himself!

He was like a damn tank—despite being beaten to a bloody pulp, he'd rise as if unharmed!

Hua Xiyue hung in the air, panting heavily. Going all-out had left him spent.

"Qin Yun's built like a monster! Just standing there and taking Hua Xiyue's attacks has exhausted him this much!"

"Qin Yun isn't having it easy either. Just look at him—he's hanging by a thread."

"Not many could take this beating."

"Hua Xiyue, finish Qin Yun off already! He's in a similar state as you—both heavily drained!"

Hua Xiyue figured the same. With a loud shout, he lunged at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun noticed Hua Xiyue's speed had slowed significantly. With a quick sidestep, he executed Radiant Mirage, blinking behind Hua Xiyue and striking his back with a palm.

Boom!

Qin Yun unleashed the Ultimate Dragon Palm with pure physical force, the wind howling like a pissed-off dragon.

The hit landed square on his back, and Hua Xiyue let out a pained scream before eating dirt from Qin Yun's strike.

Thud! Thud!

Qin Yun followed up with two more palm strikes, the wind whistling with a sound like the dying wail of a dragon, reeking of death.

In just two strikes, Qin Yun wrecked Hua Xiyue.

Though Hua Xiyue possessed a Profound Body, it was trash compared to Qin Yun's bloodline Profound Body!

The Sky Lion legacy Qin Yun had inherited was a dragon-slaying legacy.

The crowd couldn't believe their eyes!

Jian Shitian, Bao Changshou, and even those at the Semi-Immortal Realm looked shook, as if they had glimpsed something profound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qin Yun lifted Hua Xiyue and laid into him with furious punches.

Hua Xiyue shrieked in agony—slapped, punched, his face became a bloody mess.

"Qin Yun, knock it off!"

Bao Changshou got the words out when Qin Yun sunk a fist into Hua Xiyue's gut.

With a sudden rush!

Two waves of energy surged from Hua Xiyue's body—the result of his dual Dao Pill shattering.

If not for the crowd, Qin Yun would have directly extracted Hua Xiyue’s *Martial Soul*.

"I surrender!" Hua Xiyue’s voice trembled with tears and resentment. "Sect Leader, he disabled me!"

The silent square echoed with Hua Xiyue’s agonized wails.

A dual Dao Pill Profound Body martial artist, and one so young at that—actually broken, and from Immortal Armament no less!

Everyone was stunned, feeling the terrifying power and ruthless determination of Qin Yun, who dared to disable such a rare genius like Hua Xiyue right in front of the Sect Leader of Immortal Armament.

"You dare, Qin Yun! How dare you cripple our outstanding disciple of Immortal Armament!"

An elder from the Long clan seized the moment to roar, "Sect Leader, arrest and execute this punk immediately!"

"Sect Leader, Hua Xiyue possessed such talent, yet Qin Yun destroyed him! He must be severely punished!" shouted an elder from the Yang clan.

Members of the clan factions feigned grief and fury, urging Bao Changshou to apprehend Qin Yun.

After closing the arena barrier, Jian Shitian approached to examine Hua Xiyue’s injuries, frowning. "The injuries are severe—his *Martial Soul* is scattered, and his Dao Pills are shattered beyond repair. What a pity!"

Qin Yun stepped out of the barrier, smiling at Sect Leader Bao. "Sect Leader Bao, hand over those two Yuanling Mystic Pills!"

"Don’t give them to him!"

Hua Xiyue bawled his eyes out, knowing full well that he was utterly ruined.

Bao Changshou sighed deeply before passing the two Yuanling Mystic Pills to Qin Yun.

"Sect Leader, why… why would you give them to him?" The Long clan elder fumed.

"Qin Yun won, so of course I must give them to him," Sect Leader Bao said. "This duel was Hua Xiyue’s own doing. Now that he’s broken, why should I intervene on his behalf? Besides, casualties are always a risk in such battles—who can be blamed?"

The crowd recalled how Hua Xiyue had shamelessly begged Qin Yun for this fight.

Now that he was disabled, demanding the Sect Leader to arrest Qin Yun only made Bao Changshou look bad.

Though visibly injured, with his flesh splitting in places, Qin Yun acted as if nothing was wrong, nonchalantly tucking away the two Yuanling Mystic Pills.

Long Kuangxing sauntered over. "Qin Yun, you’re truly strong. Dare to fight me?"

"I’m injured—no fight!" Qin Yun scoffed. "You only dare challenge me now because you see I’m hurt, right?"

"Yeah right! You don’t look seriously injured at all!" Long Kuangxing was confident he could defeat Qin Yun in his weakened state.

"Same terms—two Yuanling Mystic Pills," Qin Yun said after pretending to consider.

"Deal!" Long Kuangxing produced two Yuanling Mystic Pills and handed them to Sect Leader Bao.

"Long Kuangxing, if you die, that’s on you," Sect Leader Bao said, glancing at the Long clan elders. "You should all see by now—Qin Yun possesses a Profound Body in the cultivation world!"

The distant onlookers exploded with gasps.

The crowd's murmurs turned to shouts as realization dawned - Qin Yun actually had a Profound Body! Sect Leader Bao’s words sent shockwaves through the audience.

However, the crowd still found it hard to believe, as Hua Xiyue also possessed a Profound Body, yet he was far inferior to Qin Yun.

"His Profound Body wouldn't have been damaged otherwise!" The semi-immortal elder of the Long family sneered and said, "Long Kuangxing, go crush him!"

Jian Shitian's interest grew even stronger.

Jian Mang asked, "Sister Ruyan, Brother Hu, what do you think of Qin Yun’s strength? If it were you, could you defeat him?"

"Yes!" Jian Ruyan and Jian Nanhu answered in unison, their voices brimming with confidence.

Jian Mang, who had spent time with Qin Yun, knew how terrifying he was and shook his head.

Jian Shitian activated the barrier and declared, "Prepare to begin!"

"Qin Yun, are you really alright?"

Chu Binyu, noticing the cracks on Qin Yun’s upper body, quickly asked.

"I'm fine. Defeating Long Kuangxing won’t be an issue!" Qin Yun replied.

"Begin!" Jian Shitian shouted, and the crowd immediately focused intently.

Long Kuangxing possessed dragon bloodline, his martial soul was the Purple-Gold Twin-Headed Dragon, and he had mastered the Long family’s Heaven-Grade Martial Art—Heavenly Dragon Technique!

"Ten Thousand Dragons Surge Over Mountains!"

Right from the start, Long Kuangxing spread his arms and unleashed the draconic Hunyuan Dao Force within him, manifesting countless furious dragons.

Like an earth-shaking tsunami, the overwhelming force surged into the heavens, engulfing the entire arena.

Spectators in the distance watched as countless enraged dragons churned within the battlefield, and they were struck with awe at the grandeur that shook their souls.

Dragons were what Qin Yun feared least. The torrents of draconic Hunyuan Dao Force fiercely bombarded his body, only to be devoured and repelled by the power unleashed by the Sky Lion Bone Spirit.

Qin Yun realized that in reality, he could wield the Sky Lion Mystic Body and the Sky Lion Bone Spirit’s power much more easily against Long Kuangxing than in the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm!

"Ten Thousand Dragons Frenzy—Qin Yun, you’re doomed! Hahaha..."

Long Kuangxing also sensed his dominant aura and, seeing the admiration in the spectators’ eyes, his arrogance swelled.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Countless enraged dragons swirled into a devastating tornado, engulfing Qin Yun completely, while purple-gold lightning transformed into rampaging dragons, lashing down at his body. BOOM!
