Volume Two: Blood Spattered on the Bodhi Tree Chapter Seventeen: The Old Heaven Has Perished; Let the New Heaven Rise.

The "Dung Scooping Sword Technique" originally evolved from the "Chen Family Sword Technique," and the move "Phoenix Soaring in the Sky" was an improvement made by Xiao Yan. This move is similar to "Burning Life," but instead of consuming one's own life force, it shapes the inner energy into the form of a phoenix to attack outwardly.

Chen Buqun was using this very move, and the scorching flames radiated such intense heat that everyone nearby could feel it pressing against their faces.

It was an aura brimming with murderous intent.

Huang He frowned, his expression grave as he asked, "This isn’t the 'Chen Family Sword Technique'! What sword technique is this exactly?"

Huang He had no confidence in countering this move. Yet, at this moment, his sword had already reached Chen Buqun’s side.

Mutual destruction?!

Before Chen Buqun could respond, the fiery phoenix collided head-on with him, sending him flying.

The sword moves clashed directly, sparks and flames scattering everywhere...

"Pfft..."

Huang He staggered back several steps before regaining his footing, then coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

Chen Buqun also spat blood but only took a single step back, though it felt as if his internal organs had shattered.

He had likely sustained severe internal injuries.

In contrast, Huang He seemed slightly better off, probably only lightly wounded.

Experienced as he was, Huang He knew better than to stubbornly resist at that moment; stepping back was to dissipate the force.

Those who could become sect leaders were indeed not to be underestimated.

...

However, despite this, the outcome still shocked everyone.

"What an overwhelming martial skill!" Captain Zhao’s eyes widened as he stared at Chen Buqun, utterly unable to believe what he was witnessing.

This man, his peer, had managed to injure Huang He in a single strike even after being ambushed?

Huang He was the untouchable sect leader of the Qing Shan Sect...

"Attack together! Eliminate the evildoer for the people! The devil’s dark arts are indeed formidable, but we righteous men will never bow!" Seeing this, several other sect leaders charged in unison.

They loved nothing more than to take advantage of chaos to strike.

In an instant, the inner energy of the sect leaders surged, the oppressive pressure instantly intensifying.

Sect Leader Mi’s inner energy had reached thirty layers!

Sect Leader Yue’s inner energy was at twenty-nine layers!

Sect Leader Lin’s inner energy was at thirty layers!

Using Xiao Yan’s terms, these were nearly max-level or already max-level masters...

No matter how extraordinary Chen Buqun was, he could not compare to Chen Bufan, being too young and still lacking a solid foundation.

Facing several sect leaders, even at peak condition, he had no chance—let alone now, wounded internally.

"Heh..."

Chen Buqun showed no fear, his gaze fixed on those before him, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Come on!"

"Hmph! So arrogant! Chen Buqun, you don’t think that justI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
