Daqian Martial Saint

BOOM!

Amidst a violent boom, Chen Ping'an and the newcomer viciously clashed palms. Rampant True Qi surged, forming ripples of aftershocks and setting off a series of deafening cracks.

The sharp and overbearing Palm Power forced Chen Ping'an to take a step back. The newcomer, however, was in a much worse state. Unable to withstand the immense force of his palm, their body was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string.

"Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm... Lan Yingying!" A golden light gleamed in Chen Ping'an's eyes, his voice low.

His opponent's Palm Power was not only sharp and overbearing, but also sinister and bizarre.

The moment their palms met, a bone-chilling Evil Qi laced with deadly poison had emerged from his opponent's Palm Power, attempting to spread from his hand through all his meridians.

Fortunately, with his Vajra Protection, Chen Ping'an's entire body pulsed with a trembling golden light. Before this Earth Fiend poison could spread, it was turned into wisps of black smoke under the golden light and dissipated.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

An old woman in gray clothes, who had been sent flying backward, landed and stumbled back several steps, barely managing to steady herself.

Her expression was grave, her face revealing a deep-seated fear as she stared at the towering Vajra Giant in the distance.

'What fierce and tyrannical Palm Power!'

This person was none other than the master of the Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm, Lan Yingying!

The fierce battle between Chen Ping'an and Gai Zijie had created a massive commotion. Lan Yingying had followed the sound, but by the time she arrived, the fight was already at its end.

She had only seen a flash of green light as a man wielding a green-glowing Longsword attempted to flee, while a sturdy and towering Vajra Giant formed a claw with his palm and gripped the man's shoulder tightly.

But in the span of a single breath, the man had escaped like a golden cicada shedding its shell, turning into a streak of green light and vanishing. A moment later, a piece of Treasure Armor, a deep, icy blue as if condensed from solid ice, caught her attention.

This Treasure Armor was crafted by a Forging Grandmaster, with its primary Forging Treasure Material being the silk spun by the Extreme North Ice Silkworm. It possessed incredible defensive Divine Wonders, capable of effectively neutralizing and protecting against even attacks nearing the Grandmaster level.

A Quasi-Divine Weapon, the Profound Ice Silk Armor—a true body-protecting Heavy Treasure!

'If Ying'Er could obtain this treasure for protection, her ability to survive would increase significantly.'

Back during the auction, Lan Yingying had tried to bid for it. But in the end, considering the bidding for the Ice Soul Profound Heart Lotus, she had chosen to give up.

She never thought that through a strange twist of fate, a serendipitous encounter, she would come across this treasure again here!

'This treasure is destined for me! It must belong to Ying'Er!'

The moment she saw the Profound Ice Silk Armor, Lan Yingying attacked without hesitation.

Yin Wind Poison Palm!

With her experience, she naturally recognized that her opponent had cultivated his Vajra Unbreakable to Perfection, stepping into the Golden Body Unbreakable Realm. Therefore, Lan Yingying held nothing back in this palm strike.

'Even someone with a Golden Body Unbreakable would have to pay a steep price if hit by this palm of hers.'

But she never expected...

Her opponent's Palm Power was fierce and overbearing. His body was shielded by Vajra Protection, and besides the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, there was something else mixed in.

In the clash of palms, she had actually come out at a disadvantage.

'His strength far exceeded her expectations!'

"Lan Yingying, how audacious of you! You dare to snatch something that belongs to me!"

BOOM!

An incomparably furious roar suddenly erupted as a Vajra figure, its entire body seemingly cast from pure gold, charged forward with fierce, unstoppable momentum.

A faint green, eerie glow emanated from Lan Yingying's body as she thrust out both palms to meet the attack.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of deafening roars exploded one after another, and the very space around them seemed to tremble. Lan Yingying's palms flashed with an eerie green, poisonous light as her Palm Momentum shifted and she struck out again and again.

Having been at a disadvantage in the previous clash, Lan Yingying dared not be complacent. With every palm strike, an eerie green True Essence flowed, shooting out surging waves of power.

Although Lan Yingying had not truly become a Grandmaster, her combat power had ranked among the top of the Dragon and Tiger Chart years ago. Now, despite only reaching the Pseudo Grandmaster Realm, her True Qi had returned to its origin and solidified, elevating her combat strength to a new level.

Her current, true combat power was even greater than the outside world speculated. Wielding the Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm, she already possessed ninety-nine percent of a true Grandmaster's combat strength! Factoring in the side effects of her Poison Technique, she could absolutely be treated as a true Grandmaster.

This was also why Lan Yingying had chosen to attack without hesitation, even after clearly seeing her opponent transform into a Vajra Giant and enter the Golden Body Unbreakable Realm.

Poison Dragon Emerges from the Sea!

Lan Yingying's figure shifted, and in a gap between their exchanges, she suddenly thrust out a palm.

CLANG!

A wave of golden light trembled violently, but her palm strike did not achieve the expected result. Instead, the shift in her stance inadvertently exposed an opening.

Departing Fire Finger!

Flames erupted, and a heatwave washed over them.

Among the two Secret Techniques of the Three-Point Human Tribulation Finger, the Departing Fire Finger was inferior to the Xunfeng Finger in terms of sheer Power of Slaughter. However, against sinister and malevolent cultivation techniques, the Departing Fire Finger often had a miraculous effect, acting as a powerful counter.

It was the perfect move to use right now to counter Lan Yingying's Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm!

Lan Yingying's body twisted as she wrenched a hand free and slammed it forward.

The finger and palm collided with a deafening boom, sending True Qi and True Essence surging wildly!

Beneath the scorching flames, the eerie green poisonous light flickered, but it did not provide the counter-effect Chen Ping'an had anticipated. Against a typical Evil Technique, a single strike of the Departing Fire Finger would render an opponent unable to exert eighty percent of their full strength!

But now, it had clearly not produced the result Chen Ping'an expected!

A grave look flashed in Chen Ping'an's eyes. 'Clearly, this Five Poison Earth Fiend Palm is even more troublesome than I imagined!'
