"It seems Young Master Zhu is too heavily injured and exhausted. In this way, if I win, it would not be a fair victory."
Chen Yuâs calm laughter echoed.
"Chen Yu, you have thoroughly angered me."
Zhu Cangyan heard Chen Yuâs mockery, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Boom!
He suddenly activated his Vermilion Bird bloodline, his entire body gathering red flaming feathers, with a pair of wings spanning a hundred feet appearing behind him.
After all, Zhu Cangyan was of the purebred Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan, his bloodline aura overpowering the aura of the White Tiger Sacred Claw.
"Previously, I was afraid of exerting my full strength and harming you. Seeing how tough you are now, I donât need to hold back anymore."
Zhu Cangyanâs fiery wings flickered as he soared into the sky.
His whole body emitted searing waves of fire, sweeping through the space, incinerating everything.
But thatâs not all.
In Zhu Cangyanâs palm, a mass of scarlet flames appeared, transforming into a small Vermilion Bird shape, flying around him with a sense of spirituality.
"Vermilion Bird True Flame!"
"This is the Postnatal True Fire crafted by the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan."
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan boasts a long heritage, possessing three secret True Fire formulas, with the Vermilion Bird True Flame ranking in the top hundred of the True Fire Spirit Flame List.
Postnatal True Fire can be continuously cultivated, even devouring other True Fires, offering immense growth potential.
Geng Handongâs eyes glimmered sharply. During their previous fight, Zhu Cangyan hadnât used this True Fire. He was more certain that Zhu Cangyan had been holding back.
Whoosh!
The Vermilion Bird True Flame merged into Zhu Cangyanâs scarlet wings, blazing with even more terrifying destructive flames like oil poured on fire.
Zhu Cangyanâs aura surged again, making even Geng Handong feel chills.
"Such strong âVermilion Bird Sacred Wingsâ!"
The onlookers gasped.
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Wing of the Vermilion Bird clan provided them with extraordinary mobility and terrifying destructive power.
Boom!
Zhu Cangyanâs wings flickered lightly, sending a sky full of flaming feathers shooting out like countless flaming arrows, leaving Chen Yu with no space to dodge.
Chen Yuâs gaze slightly condensed; Zhu Cangyan was now fully exerting himself.
The power of a four-star king of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan was indeed terrifying!
But it wasnât without opportunities.
Zhu Cangyan had fought fiercely with Geng Handong, consuming a lot and suffering some injuries. Although not serious, they couldnât be ignored.
Star Pattern Robe!
Chen Yu activated a defensive technique, then a mass of blood-colored flame emerged from his palm, enveloping the White Tiger Sacred Claw.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Yu swung two continuous claws, unleashing golden-red claw marks that shredded the incoming flaming feathers.
Zhu Cangyanâs offensive was indeed terrifying, but Chen Yuâs attack was more concentrated and focused. Facing dozens of flaming feathers alone, he still had the upper hand.
Numerous flaming feathers struck the Star Pattern Robe, leaving holes, but not causing significant harm to Chen Yu.
Faced with Chen Yuâs attack, Zhu Cangyanâs wings fluttered as he dodged and disappeared.
"That was close. This guyâs spatial mastery has reached three and a half levels. Without the Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings, I would have had a hard time dodging."
Zhu Cangyan thought to himself.
"Fire Wing Slash!"
The Vermilion Bird Fire Wings on his back burst into fierce flames, slashing toward Chen Yu.
This attack, with scarlet wings the size of a hundred feet, descended from the sky.
Star Splitting Claw!
Chen Yuâs five fingers clenched together, chopping out a massive golden-red crescent, soaring up to clash head-on with the scarlet wing slash.
Boom!
The two fierce and sharp attacks collided in a cross-section clash.
In the next moment, Chen Yuâs Star Splitting Claw sliced through the scarlet wing slash.
In terms of destructive power, Zhu Cangyanâs attack might have been stronger, but the attack technique of the White Tiger Sacred Claw was unmatched in sharpness and could break through anything!
Bang! Bang!
The bisected scarlet wing slash crashed into the ground, leaving two black trenches of unfathomable depth, continuously spewing flames.
While Chen Yuâs Star Splitting Claw struck one of Zhu Cangyanâs wings, shaving off half.
"Damn it, where did you train White Tiger Sacred Claw?"
Zhu Cangyan swore, as he had suffered several losses due to Chen Yuâs White Tiger Sacred Claw.
Cursing aside, the battle continued, Zhu Cangyanâs offensive became even more ferocious.
Holding a scarlet feathered fan, each strike unleashed a sea of fiery flames, with his wings continuously slashing the scarlet wing slash at Chen Yu.
Frenzied Zhu Cangyanâs offensive was horrific, with destructive power surpassing the attack of the White Tiger Sacred Claw. Even the Star Pattern Robe found it hard to fully block.
Chen Yu switched to defense, focusing entirely on defense, making it difficult for Zhu Cangyan to wound him.
If the battle continued, after the fierce battle with the four-star king Geng Handong, Zhu Cangyan would surely be the first to falter.
"Damn it, this kid isnât attacking anymore."
Zhu Cangyan kept a close watch on Chen Yu.
The opponentâs attack techniques rivaled those of a typical four-star king, combined with spatial mastery and superior defense, making it difficult for Zhu Cangyan to prevail in a short time.
But he couldnât drag it out too long, or the situation would turn unfavorable for him.
"This battle seems even more spectacular and intense than the previous round."
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"In just three years, how has his strength grown so much?"
Zhong Yue stood confused on the side.
With her strength, she couldnât withstand more than ten moves against Zhu Cangyan!
Seeing this, wouldnât her challenge against Chen Yu be a sure loss?

"Is this person the first among the new disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect this year?"
A disciple of the Azure Dragon Divine Wood looked solemn.
The exchange activities of the four great powers centered around new disciples, and surprisingly, the new disciple Chen Yu could battle Zhu Cangyan, an old disciple of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Nest, to such an extent.
"Look, Zhu Cangyan is using the secret technique of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan."
"The battle is about to end."
The crowd exclaimed a few times and then silently watched the Sky Martial Battle Platform again.
Only to see Zhu Cangyan surrounded by crimson flames, his figure gradually obscured by the intense fire, as if transforming into a giant fiery sun.
"This is âFiery Sun Burning Sky,â any object that approaches will be completely incinerated by Brother Zhu."
Shi Yao gave a faint smile.
Once hit, Chen Yu would undoubtedly be seriously injured, and it would be difficult to recover in a short period.
Bang!
Zhu Cangyan, transformed into a fiery sun, smashed towards Chen Yu, the terrifying temperature causing everything around to turn into nothingness.
"This is what Iâve been waiting for, for you to attack first."
A flash of brilliance appeared in Chen Yuâs eyes.
"This move is somewhat similar to âFalling Stars.â Perhaps when the Skywalking Demon God created âFalling Stars,â they were inspired by the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clanâs âFiery Sun Burning Sky.â"
His body surface surged with starlight, transforming into brilliant starlight enveloping his entire body.
With the activation of Falling Stars, Chen Yuâs strength was significantly enhanced, allowing every strike to exert his full power.
However, Chen Yuâs Falling Stars was still not as powerful as Zhu Cangyanâs Fiery Sun Burning Sky, as the opponent had activated the Vermilion Bird bloodline and their cultivation was also superior to Chen Yuâs.
"Star Splitting Claw!"
Chen Yu concentrated the power of Falling Stars on the White Tiger Sacred Claw.
Star Splitting Claw is the third form of âSky-splitting Star-shattering Claw,â greatly surpassing the first two forms in sharpness and lethality!
Bang!
As Chen Yu launched a claw strike, chaotic golden-red light traces surged out, containing infinite power, seemingly capable of shattering everything.
Bang! Rumble!
Chen Yuâs Star Splitting Claw hit the Fiery Sun Burning Sky form of Zhu Cangyan, with the intense explosion resounding through the heavens and earth, fire and golden light enveloping the entire Sky Martial Battle Platform.
"What was the outcome?"
"Zhu Cangyan definitely won!"
The collision of this move was truly intense, and there must have been a decision.
Bang!
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the barrier, with a pair of giant fire wings, it was Zhu Cangyan!
Zhu Cangyan was struck by Chen Yuâs claw onto the barrier, his mouth continuously spitting blood.
There were several horrific wounds on his chest, with blood continuously dripping, and the injuries from the previous battle erupted completely, making it hard for Zhu Cangyan to hold on, causing his body to fall.
In contrast, Chen Yuâs Star Pattern Robe was already shattered, with many charred marks on his body, but they were rapidly healing.
"Chen Yu, wins!"
Deacon Li, responsible for the Sky Martial Battle Platform, excitedly announced the result.
"I knew I wasnât wrong about this kid."
Deacon Li thought to himself.
Chen Yuâs victory not only elevated his own reputation but also brought glory to the Heavenly Martial Sect.
"Young Master Zhu, it seems your previous battle injuries were indeed too severe, making you lose so quickly."
Chen Yu said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Cangyan was so angry he spat blood again.
He had said so before to provoke Chen Yu into the battle, but Chen Yuâs words were a taunt and an insult.
"Chen Yu, once I recover from my injuries, weâll have another match."
Zhu Cangyan shouted angrily.
He now realized that his injuries from the previous battle were indeed too severe, otherwise he wouldnât have lost.
He couldnât tolerate losing to Chen Yu. How could he approach the Lin Family for marriage with such a face?
"What benefit is there in fighting you? This time I accepted your challenge because you came from afar, out of courtesy. This rare opportunity wonât happen again."
Chen Yu laughed heartily and left the Sky Martial Battle Platform.
His gaze swept around, causing many to jolt and step back half a step.
This was the deterrent formed after the battle with Zhu Cangyan.
As for Shi Yao and the other two, they immediately ran away, not daring to stay.
"How could this be? How could he be so strong? Even Brother Zhu wasnât his match!"
Shi Yaoâs face was pale with panic.
Against such a Chen Yu, what use is there in a wheel battle?
The crowd at the Sky Martial Battle Platform gradually dispersed.
The two battles today rapidly spread among the four powers.
The first battle, Zhu Cangyan defeated Geng Handong, ranked eighty-third on the Heavenly Martial List.
But in the second battle, the strong Zhu Cangyan was instead defeated by Chen Yu, ranked ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Martial List.
Many who learned of this were puzzled, wondering if there was an inside story, or if Zhu Cangyanâs injuries from the first battle were too severe and Chen Yu took advantage.
But no matter what, Chen Yuâs position at ninety-ninth was solidified, and no one dared to challenge him again, spreading his fame among the four powers.
Even those who had already challenged Chen Yu were deeply troubled and didnât know what to do.
When Chen Yu returned to his cave abode, the injuries from todayâs battle had completely healed.
He entered the secret chamber to reflect on todayâs combat.
"The Vermilion Bird Sacred Clanâs âVermilion Bird Sacred Wingsâ is quite extraordinary. If I fought Zhu Cangyan in his prime, he could simply exploit the advantage of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings, and I fear it would be difficult to win."
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings excelled in mobility, and their attack destructive power was also remarkable.
But Zhu Cangyan, eager to end the battle, clashed head-on with Chen Yu, which was attacking his weakness with his own weak point.
"The White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw has reached Great Success, almost at the perfect realm. I can consider cultivating the âVermilion Bird Burning Sky Wingsâ next."
Chen Yu began to contemplate the direction of his Body Refining Techniques.
Besides the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Wings, there remained the Azure Dragon Sacred Wood Leg and the Xuanwu Sea Suppressing Arm.
