Zhuang Bifan exuded a natural superiority, his smile evident as he had already reached a higher level in the late stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.
With his rich combat experience, he could easily crush anyone below the Yuan Dan Realm.
When Lin Qiubai emerged from the secret realm, his cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Yuan Dan Realm. In just under ten days, despite Lin Qiubai's incredible talent, he had barely stepped into the late stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.
He could not compete with him!
Now, Lin Qiubai's advantage in realms had completely vanished, and in terms of cultivation, he was no match for Zhuang Bifan. Aside from his slightly extraordinary martial arts skills, there was little else to commend.
Zhuang Bifan clicked his tongue, feeling confident of victory; at this moment, Lin Qiubai had no chance at all.
Lin Qiubai moved swiftly, retreating in a burst of speed to evade the attack from the Blood Marsh Heavenly Python.
His gaze was sharp as it landed on Zhuang Bifan.
"You truly cannot defeat me! I have finally regained my confidence in my Second Body and can once again restore my masculine glory!"
Zhuang Bifan roared inwardly, his momentum rising steadily.
In an instant, his Vital Energy surged around him, making him appear nearly invincible.
Even a Transcendent of Creation would have to temporarily avoid his brilliance.
Thousands of disciples quickly retreated a thousand meters away because the fluctuations of that Vital Energy felt extremely dangerous, even for those who were Yuan Dan Realm Experts.
It was hard to withstand.
"This is already the combat power of the Peak of Yuan Dan Realm," someone remarked with a complex expression.
"Zhuang Shixiong is still only at the peak of the Eighth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm. If he were to reach the Ninth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm, or even the Peak of Yuan Dan Realm, wouldn't he be able to confront a Creation Realm early-stage expert head-on?"
Someone screamed.
The disciples were all astonished. Yun Yin Sheng Zong was filled with Heavenly Pride, and only the best among geniuses could be called Peerless Genius.
Generally speaking, comparisons are made among martial artists of the same generation or those with a two to three-year difference.
Someone like Zhuang Bifan could only be described as astonishingly extraordinary!
"Come on, come on, this time I will definitely suppress you!"
Zhuang Bifan was full of confidence, with blood clouds swirling around him, rolling with his breath.
Upon hearing this, Luan Ying, Xia Qing, Tang Fengxue, Ye Hui, and others couldn't help but chuckle.
They had experienced this kind of battle several times.
Typically, Zhuang Bifan would return defeated.
However, in the past ten days, they had witnessed just how rapidly Zhuang Bifan's combat power had soared.
It was indeed breathtaking!
As for Lin Qiubai, who stood poised in the wind, his momentum seemed somewhat lacking.
To elevate his cultivation from the Sixth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm to the peak of the Eighth Layer in such a short time...
Such fortune was merely a thought!
From the perspective of the other disciples, Lin Qiubai did not possess the strength to stand toe-to-toe with Zhuang Bifan.
The Elder, who was secretly observing from the side, furrowed his brows as he watched Lin Qiubai, ultimately shaking his head, feeling that Zhuang Bifan had the upper hand.
Only Lin Qiubai wore a calm smile.
Regarding Zhuang Bifan's remark, "Come on, this time I will definitely suppress you"...
Lin Qiubai felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After ten days apart, he dared to challenge him again.
Lin Qiubai focused his mind, extending his arms as Vital Energy coalesced into a spear the size of his body.
The Sacred Spear had broken while countering the escaping Source of the Wind's Essence, so he could only use this as a substitute, but it didn't matter much.
Lin Qiubai was only half a step away from the Creation Realm.
Even if Zhuang Bifan was a Second Body with profound foundations, there was no need to use the Sacred Spear to suppress him.
This was confidence.
Lin Qiubai raised the Ice Flame Blood Spear, and in a flash, he transformed into an afterimage, shooting towards Zhuang Bifan.
The speed was dazzling; if one wasn't careful, they would fail to capture Lin Qiubai's true trajectory.
Zhuang Bifan's heart suddenly contracted as tens of thousands of Crystal Prisms appeared around him.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, Lin Qiubai's ice flame spear struck the Crystal Prism, and the blue ice flames slowly spread and froze across the uneven surface of the massive mirror, making a crackling sound that sent chills down one's spine.
Zhuang Bifan shivered.
Stepping on the wind, a hundred meters were reflected back. In the next moment, a towering structure formed from thousands of Crystal Prisms began to peel away, resembling a rusted copper wall. Crystal shards scattered across the ground.
A chill spread out...
Zhuang Bifan's face turned ashen, his heart sinking into the Abyss. Lin Qiubai's move had extinguished half of his overwhelming aura!
However, Zhuang Bifan had never been one to cower. He had always fought back against Lin Qiubai, no matter how many times he was defeated!
"Come again!"
In that instant, thirty thousand Crystal Prisms appeared around Zhuang Bifan. At the same time, he formed hand seals, condensing a Blood Marsh Heavenly Python in the Void. Taking a deep breath, he executed the Stacking Martial Arts!
The hundred-foot-long Blood Marsh Heavenly Python shrank dramatically to about thirty feet, but it faintly exuded a hint of dragon might.
Though it was just a trace, its quality was entirely different.
Lin Qiubai clearly sensed that this Blood Zephyr Dragon was more than three times stronger than before.
Even a Peak of Yuan Dan Realm warrior could be slain by it.
Lin Qiubai grew more serious.
At that moment, Zhuang Bifan's hand seals changed again!
Thirty thousand Crystal Prisms transformed into an orderly scale armor, adhering to the Blood Zephyr Dragon's body. The scales moved and twisted with its limbs as if they were part of the dragon itself.
This did not affect the Blood Zephyr Dragon's agility at all.
However, it granted the Blood Zephyr Dragon an extremely terrifying layer of defense!
"Hehehe, this is a technique I devised while neglecting sleep and food, specifically to deal with you! Right now, even I am afraid of this Blood Marsh Heavenly Python!"
Zhuang Bifan's face was pale and slightly weak, clearly overwhelmed by the continuous hand seals and the intricate control of the threefold Martial Arts.
However, defeating Lin Qiubai was a trivial matter despite his weakness.
Lin Qiubai felt solemn; Zhuang Bifan's thoughts were quite remarkable.
The integration of the threefold Martial Arts could be considered an improvement.
Facing the dual-enhanced Blood Marsh Heavenly Python charging at him, Lin Qiubai felt a sense of urgency.
He dared not underestimate it in the slightest.
Within his Dantian, the Nine Whirlpools spun wildly, and one Formation after another shot out from his fingertips, piercing into the Void and creating ripples that spread out in circles.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Formations stood tall in the Void.
Lin Qiubai extended his arm once more, and with his will, four thousand Ice Flame Blood Spears were born.
Suspended in the Void, their blood-red glow intertwined with a shimmering light.
As the Blood Zephyr Dragon, clad in heavy Crystal Armor, crossed the Void and approached within ten meters of Lin Qiubai, the four thousand Ice Flame Blood Spears surged upward and thunderously shot toward the Heavenly Python!
Upon collision, countless towering water columns erupted from the Lake Surface of Nameless Lake, while the Mystical Beasts lurking in the lake flailed about in chaos.
The disciples were once again knocked back a thousand meters, gazing on from afar with their hearts racing.
At this moment, four thousand Blood Spears had already pierced into the surrounding lake, causing the Lake Surface to freeze rapidly.
The Blood Zephyr Dragon sustained several large holes but did not suffer internal injuries; the Crystal Prism had absorbed the fatal damage.
Zhuang Bifan laughed wildly as he stepped onto the Void. With both hands forming seals, the Crystal Prism flew out to patch up those gaps. His face paled further, yet his spirit remained vibrant.
"You still have tricks up your sleeve, so show them all. If this is all you can do, I will suppress you!"
Lin Qiubai remained silent; he had underestimated the difficulty of Zhuang Bifan's Closing Moon Storm Mirror.
There was no doubt that Zhuang Bifan's mastery of this Martial Art had deepened significantly.
He even had new insights.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with such an almost ingenious improvement.
"The Spear is ultimately suited for charging into battle and killing enemies with a broad sweep, but it lacks precision..."
For example, in the current situation, Lin Qiubai could not stab the Blood Zephyr Dragon in the head with the spear and then use Vital Energy to explode its skull.
It was unrealistic.
With the Sacred Spear, perhaps it would be possible, but right now, Lin Qiubai could not achieve that.
"Since that's the case, I can only switch to another weapon."
Lin Qiubai realized that there is no distinction between high and low when it comes to weapons; the most effective tool for quickly eliminating an opponent is the sharpest weapon.
