Lv Zhengnan’s leg was cut off, and although it was incredibly painful, this sudden surge of madness caused him to unleash a fierce palm strike towards Shen Xiang as he was about to rise. His claw, sharp as the edge of a thousand-pound hammer, slashed straight towards Shen Xiang’s head.

Shen Xiang responded quickly, raising his hand to meet the terrifying beast claw of Lv Zhengnan. The two palms collided with a loud boom, causing the mountain and earth to tremble.

Lv Zhengnan let out a painful howl as pain seared through his huge beast palm, which was now covered in blood marks. When Shen Xiang unleashed his palm strike just now, it was executed using the Tier 2 cultivation arts of Profound Heavenly Finger and Earth-shaking Palm, piercing through his hand while also shaking a powerful force into his body.

The powerful force traveled through Lv Zhengnan’s arm, causing it to be shattered inch by inch. His arm was essentially crippled.

Within a few moments, Shen Xiang successfully countered his attack, disrupting Lv Zhengnan’s rhythm and gaining the upper hand. Now, with one leg missing, lv Zhengnan was no longer rational. He continued to howl with madness, becoming even more terrifying as he relied on his single leg to jump towards Shen Xiang. His other hand, armed with five sharp claws, aimed his attack at Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang didn’t dodge, instead circulating all the green dragon qi within his body. His hand instantly turned into a green-colored dragon claw.

The green and black dragon claws clashed, both appearing evenly matched. However, Shen Xiang had unleashed all his green dragon qi, giving his green dragon claw significantly more power than Lv Zhengnan’s.

The clash of claws shook the entire valley, followed by a loud explosion. The next thing was the heart-pounding scream of Lv Zhengnan as his entire arm disappeared, shattered by the invincible green dragon claw.

Lv Zhengnan was stripped of his original form, and Shen Xiang had to admit that if he hadn’t been cautious earlier, he would have died from those terrifying claws. When Lv Zhengnan became half-human, half-beast, his strength and speed increased exponentially, especially that powerful explosive force leaving Shen Xiang with a lingering fear.

"Shen Xiang... You... Are also at Tier 2 True Martial Realm" Lv Zhengnan, with a pale face full of fear, stared at Shen Xiang.

Originally thinking he had surpassed Shen Xiang, Lv Zhengnan was shocked to learn that both of them were at Tier 2 True Martial Realm. Not only did Shen Xiang’s strength surpass his, but the combination of his green dragon slaughtering magic saber made him an unpredictable opponent. He had once used that saber to kill a Tier 3 True Martial practitioner at Tier 1.

A團 true qi suddenly appeared on Shen Xiang’s left arm, forming a sword-like shape. True qi condensed into weapons could also be extremely sharp if filled with thick true qi, surpassing some spirit artifacts by a great margin.

"Shen Xiang, you can’t kill me!" Lv Zhengnan was terrified and quickly shouted.

Unmoved, Shen Xiang moved his body as Lv Zhengnan saw him approaching. With the true qi condensed into a great sword in his hand, he slashed at Lv Zhengnan’s neck, severing his head.

Watching the rolling head and the scared eyes of Lv Zhengnan, everyone was shocked. Especially among those True Martial practitioners who could see deeper into the battle and were deeply impressed by Shen Xiang’s strength.

There were quite a few people watching the battle, perhaps tens of thousands. When they saw Lv Zhengnan die, they erupted with comments, his exceptional talents as a Tier 2 True Martial practitioner and alchemist from Tai Wu Sect’s family made him an invaluable asset, now lost to Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang bent down and was about to pick up Lv Zhengnan’s storage bracelet when a loud voice of “Zhengnan” echoed from afar. As the sound faded, Shen Xiang felt a burst of qi force hitting him, causing them to dodge. Near Lv Zhengnan’s corpse, they found an old man trembling all over.

Lv Shang! The very person who had attacked them with a poison that day, Shen Xiang didn’t expect him to appear here.

"Shen Xiang, is this what you did" Lv Shang shouted towards Shen Xiang with a face full of anger.

"He bet his head against me, and now I’m claiming it as my victory!" Shen Xiang said calmly, silently circulating true qi. He was wary of Lv Shang’s reckless attempt to sneak attack him knowing that his strength was much stronger than Shen Xiang’s.

"Shen Xiang, you won three Foundation Formation Pills and a Nine Yang Blast Fruit from our family. Now, you want more" Lv Shang roared in rage, "You claim to help us, but you’ve clearly been the one causing trouble! You’ve killed our once-in-a-generation genius!"

"Haha..." Shen Xiang erupted into laughter, "Old greed, you better come after I’ve sorted out things before making noise here. It was this guy who challenged me, and it’s your family that has been bothering me."

The last time I left Tai Wu Sect, two Tier 2 True Martial practitioners from your family surrounded and attacked me. Fortunately, I had a decent weapon to turn the battle around, killing those two fellows.

Hearing this, Lv Shang’s heart raced. Two Tier 2 True Martial practitioners from the Lv Family had indeed been killed by Shen Xiang! This only made him angrier.

Seeing Lv Shang’s pain point, Shen Xiang continued, "Your family didn’t want to return my debts and tried three times to kill me! When you sent someone to assassinate me, I managed to avoid it. But last time on Black Turtle Mountain, you severely injured me and sent me into the Abyss of Yin and Yang. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to survive."

"Shen Xiang, don’t lie! Surviving from the Abyss of Yin and Yang You need evidence!" Lv Shang rebutted fiercely.

Both of their voices were loud, causing those nearby to be amazed. However, they doubted Shen Xiang’s words as falling into the Abyss of Yin and Yang indeed meant certain death.

Shen Xiang guessed that Lv Shang would deny everything, and he chuckled coldly, "You should bury your family’s genius. He deserves his death."

Lv Shang was furious beyond measure and shouted, "Shen Xiang! You’ve been continually provoking our family. Not only did you use underhanded tactics to stimulate Lv Zhengnan and fight with me, but also accused our family of wanting to kill you. Today, I will not forgive you!"

Lv Shang’s anger surged as he rushed towards Shen Xiang, punching out. The powerful and thick true qi from his arm surged outwards with a whistling sound, slicing through the ground. This was Tier 9 True Martial Realm strength, much stronger than Shen Xiang’s.

Everyone watching assumed that Shen Xiang would be defeated by this violent punch. However, when it was about to crush his face into a pulp, Shen Xiang too raised his fist. Acting like lightning, he unleashed his own punch, with the qi surrounding it shredding stones into pieces on impact.

Shen Xiang, who was at Tier 2 True Martial Realm, now possessed power equivalent to Tier 9 True Martial Realm!thing" Schen Xiang asked Liliefairy telepathically."It's a god beast, very powerful. He has eighty divine souls! Princess Yulan knew you're coming and asked me to find you, but she didn't know that we...
