Bang, bang, bang!

The Evil Asura unleashed a few more palm strikes, and Chen Guan felt like a nail driven deep into the shattered rocks beneath him.

What frustrated Chen Guan more was that the Yin Fire Force of the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm didn't work well on the Evil Asura. Unlike the Ghost-Slaying Emperor, it failed to ignite all the primordial energy within the Evil Asura.

This revealed the weakness of the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm; without the effect of the Yin Fire Force, its destructive power was clearly insufficient, even weaker than the Blood Hand Seal.

Just as Chen Guan felt his Azure Heaven Dominating Body was about to shatter, the primordial energy of the Evil Asura seemed to falter, causing his body to sway to the side and finally touch the ground.

"Now's the time!" Chen Guan sprang up from the rubble, the Senluo Ghost Step exploding with immense acceleration, delivering a blood hand seal imbued with the Blood Coagulation Fork towards the descending Evil Asura.

The Evil Asura's ability to hover in the air was certainly due to some secret skill. Now, with his dwindling primordial energy, he lost the ability to redirect in mid-air, leaving him vulnerable.

This was the moment Chen Guan had been waiting for. He charged up, targeting the most vulnerable spot on the Evil Asura with a Blood Hand Seal, giving him no chance to evade.

However, just as Chen Guan's Blood Hand Seal was about to strike the Evil Asura, a white halo suddenly radiated from his body, transforming his grotesque form into a beautiful Female Bodhisattva, the Good Asura.

Seeing the Good Asura up close, Chen Guan felt a trace of bewilderment in his mind, instinctively retracting the force in his hand and even forgetting to continue his skills.

Chen Guan struggled to maintain his last shred of reason, quickly retreating and summoning the Ghost Eye to shield himself.

Sure enough, as he feared, the white-robed Good Asura quickly reverted to her black-armored Evil Asura form, striking towards his head with terrifying power and black smoke in her palm.

Boom!

The Ghost Eye appeared in the air, its tail sweeping across, sending the striking Evil Asura flying, crashing into a stalactite, buried beneath falling debris.

However, on the tail of the Ghost Eye, a clear black handprint was stamped, shattering the scales and flesh, deeply embedding into it.

Without saying a word, Chen Guan retracted the Ghost Eye and Ming Fei, turning to flee, using the Senluo Ghost Step repeatedly to push his speed to the limit.

Once the Evil Asura emerged from the rubble, not a scratch was visible on him as he swiftly pursued Chen Guan.

His speed far surpassed Chen Guan's, and using a secret skill, the gap between them visibly narrowed.

Unfortunately, even though he was a 20-level World-Defying Secret Spirit, his primordial energy wasn't sufficient to use secret skills continuously, soon running out of capability to chase further.

Relying on his relentless use of secret skills, Chen Guan kept accelerating with the Senluo Ghost Step, ultimately outrunning the Evil Asura as he dashed around in the cave.

"Even a 20-level World-Defying Secret Spirit is too hard to kill." Chen Guan sighed in relief. Thankfully, the Secret Technique of One and the Azure Heaven Dominating Body were robust enough; otherwise, today could have ended terribly.

Chen Guan's original plan wasn't flawed. As long as he endured the Evil Asura's initial assault, once the Evil Asura's primordial energy was nearly exhausted, he could rely on his primordial energy and use secret skills to turn the tide.

Who would have thought that once the Evil Asura transformed into the Good Asura and back, his primordial energy would be restored? It was an impossible battle, and he could only flee with all his strength.

"The Evil Asura is strong, but the Azure Heaven Dominating Body withstood his initial assault. The real problem is that I lack a secret skill with enough destructive power to kill him, and when he transforms into the Good Asura, he becomes unattackable, rapidly recovering his primordial energy." This battle revealed Chen Guan's lack of a powerful destructive secret skill.

The Underworld Emperor's Sword has decent destructive power, nearly invincible against secret spirits or humans of the same level.

But using it to slay a secret spirit so many levels higher, even the Underworld Emperor's Sword falls short.

The most suitable would be the Life-Sacrifice Sword-Drawing Technique. With 512 primordial energy per strike, seizing the right moment, it's not impossible to slay the Good and Evil Asura in one strike.

Regrettably, the Life-Sacrifice Sword-Drawing Technique exists only once in the world and isn't in Chen Guan's possession.

Chen Guan had no intention of continuing the fight, or rather, he no longer wished to attempt killing the Good and Evil Asura. The level difference was too great, and it wasn't feasible.

However, he must deal with the Good and Evil Asura eventually. Their unique attributes are too special, and even if not used for a second awakening, who knows what special secret skills might emerge. Moreover, the Miaoshu Sword was left in the Asura Cave, and he had to find an opportunity to retrieve it. Its flexibility is excellent, at least suitable until the third awakening.

"If I can't win, I'll return after my second awakening to kill him." Chen Guan resolved in his heart, determined to gamble with the Vermilion Fruit stained with Soul-devouring Divine Blood to see what kind of alien elemental energy he could awaken.

Killing a second-awakening World-Defying Secret Spirit was so challenging; attempting to kill a Secret God at this level, even a second-awakening Secret God, was impossible. Thus, he had to take an unconventional path.

Chen Guan exited the Wild Ghost Cave, only to see a young man in blue clothes sitting outside the entrance, staring intently at the cave mouth.

"Jiang Qiemo? Why are you here?" Chen Guan immediately recognized the young man in blue as Jiang Qiemo, and thought to himself, "Is he here for me?"

What you fear is what you get. Jiang Qiemo stood up, walked up to Chen Guan, and said, "Here to find you."

Jiang Qiemo suspected that Chen Guan had come to kill the World-Defying Secret Spirit for the grand competition reward, so he hurried over. However, without the reward pass, he couldn't enter the Wild Ghost Cave and had to wait outside for Chen Guan to come out.

"What do you want with me?" Chen Guan adjusted his armor, which had suffered considerable damage during the fight with the Good and Evil Asura, thinking he'd have to apply for a new set once back.

"I want to duel with you again." Jiang Qiemo said.

"No interest, and not in the mood." With that, Chen Guan summoned his Zhao Night Lion Horse, mounted it, and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll wait until you have the time and mood." Jiang Qiemo said, following alongside. He wasn't riding the Zhao Night Lion issued by the reserve team but rather a black creature resembling a donkey.

The pet ran exactly like a donkey, appearing a bit peculiar, but its speed was many times faster than an ordinary donkey, effortlessly keeping pace with Chen Guan, even deliberately slowing down not to overtake Chen Guan's Zhao Night Lion Horse.

Chen Guan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This won't do. I need to go to Peony Mountain to pick the Celestial Immortal Peony to exchange for the mutated Red Blood Vermilion Fruit. Jiang Qiemo following me is too much of a nuisance."

"Jiang Qiemo, there's no need to follow me. I'm not as strong as you think. I can't even defeat the Good and Evil Asura. Even if you beat me, it won't mean much. Why don't you go fight the Good and Evil Asura? If you can kill him, I'm surely not your opponent." Chen Guan tried to send Jiang Qiemo away.

"No permit, can't enter the Wild Ghost Cave." Jiang Qiemo shook his head.

"This is for you. If you can kill the Good and Evil Asura, he's yours." Chen Guan tossed the pass to Jiang Qiemo. He didn't believe Jiang Qiemo could kill the Good and Evil Asura, considering he himself was beaten down, and Jiang Qiemo would probably fare no better.

As long as he could be sent away for a while, he could hurry and pick the Celestial Immortal Peony to exchange for the Vermilion Fruit.

"Not interested." To his surprise, Jiang Qiemo tossed the pass back, as if determined to fight Chen Guan again.
