"Let's make a deal, can we repeat that Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book just once more?"

Upon hearing that deep voice which had haunted him in recent times, the satisfaction and pride on Golden Crow Crown Prince's face instantly solidified, and he finally understood the astonishment and confusion in the eyes of the Demon Gods Bi Fang and Zhu Yan.

Wasn't the owner of this voice just cursed to death?

Golden Crow Crown Prince looked back in disbelief, only to see the tall and heroic Qi Zhongjun standing behind him.

Merely thirty feet away!

This dangerous distance made him involuntarily shiver, recalling the scene where he was heavily injured by a hammer.

But this time, Qi Zhongjun didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.

He was just standing there, not even pulling out his Mixed Gold Hammer.

But shouldn't Qi Zhongjun be dead? Why could he stand right in front of him so intact?

A clone?

Or a puppet?

Golden Crow Crown Prince could not help but extend his right hand, transforming it into a huge flame palm with a span of thirty feet and slapped towards Qi Zhongjun.

"Talking about serious matters here, stop fooling around."

Yu Yuan casually waved his sleeve robe.

A gust of wind arose, blowing apart the flame palm, and also blowing the Golden Crow Crown Prince back a few steps.

Feeling this familiar overwhelming strength, the Golden Crow Crown Prince confirmed one fact.

The Qi Zhongjun in front of him, is his true body!

But how could he have not died?

Where did things go wrong?

Could it have been a mistake during the incense sacrifice worship?

Golden Crow Crown Prince couldn't help but look towards the Demon Gods Bi Fang and Zhu Yan and found that they were also looking at him at this moment, their expressions seemingly questioning:

Didn't you say that anyone who is hit would certainly die?

Didn't you say that not even Daluo Golden Immortal could resist it?

"This is impossible!"

Golden Crow Crown Prince shook his head vigorously, his eyes wide with shock and anger staring at Yu Yuan, "How could you not be dead, you were clearly stricken... I see now, it must have been that One Qi Immortal who was hit!"

Thinking over and over, that seemed to be the only plausible explanation!

He said as he looked past Yu Yuan to a thousand miles away, where that One Qi Immortal and the entire Treasure Hall had disappeared.

"It seems I guessed right!"

Like a nightmare being dispelled, a hint of relief appeared on Golden Crow Crown Prince's face, he coldly chuckled: "Actually, that strand of hair wasn't yours, but that of the One Qi Immortal...

You really are cunning and deceitful to have dodged such a calamity by this!"

"Ah yes, yes, yes... you are right."

Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly, his face full of sincerity: "Since you've seen that I'm not dead, can we do it again now?"

Golden Crow Crown Prince: (▼へ▼メ)

He was somewhat puzzled by the other's attitude.

He neither launched a sneak attack nor hid away, but stood openly in front of him with eagerness in his eyes...

Eager?

Golden Crow Crown Prince for a moment doubted if he was seeing things wrong.

But when he carefully observed, he indeed found Qi Zhongjun looking at him with full anticipation.

That expression...

Was like looking at an intriguing toy or a fresh and exciting game, eager to experience it once again.

What exactly does this guy think the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is!?

Golden Crow Crown Prince felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood, yet, more than that, it was incredible.

Did he want to die alongside that One Qi Immortal?

Even though he couldn't figure out the other's thoughts, it didn't affect the decision Gold Crow Crown Prince had already made.

"Since he has come to us himself… Both Demon Gods, quickly kill him... No, preserve his Primordial Spirit, I've got to perform Soul-searching and soul-scratching, lest he has hidden the Chaos Bell away."

"I obey the order!"

Upon the command of the Golden Crow Crown Prince, both Bi Fang and Zhu Yan, these two Demon Gods, acted without hesitation.

The former conjured a Stone Seal, which transformed into a massive mountain in mid-air, descending upon Yu Yuan with crushing force; the latter, gripping an Iron Rod in his right hand, swept across a distance of dozens of meters.

The Iron Rod, as it met the wind, enlarged significantly, with countless mysterious patterns engraved upon it, swinging with the sound of thunder, its power not to be underestimated.

Yu Yuan frowned slightly, exhaling a golden light from his mouth that instantaneously blew that mountain away; at the same time, a Mixed Gold Hammer appeared in his right hand, swinging towards the incoming Iron Rod wielded by Zhu Yan Demon God.

"Bang!"

As the hammer and the rod collided, a thunderous boom erupted.

Blinding white shockwaves rippled outward, shattering the frozen plain below instantaneously.

The next instant.

The Iron Rod was violently smashed away.

However, a deep crack several inches long also appeared on the surface of the Mixed Gold Hammer.

After all, it was only a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, and the battles it had been through with Yu Yuan were becoming increasingly absurd, already far surpassing its limit.

"What divine power!"

Zhu Yan Demon God moved his right hand, now cracked and bleeding, switched to holding the Iron Rod with both hands, and couldn't help but utter a word of admiration.

He is a Daluo Golden Immortal, who has gone through countless battles both big and small, and has been named the God of Warfare by the Ancient Demon Court!

As the saying goes, a true expert reveals himself with just a move.

Even though it was just a clash, and not even a proper face-off, his battle spirit was soaring, and his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Yu Yuan.

"Don't run this time, I want to have a good fight with you!"

Saying this, he transformed instantly, revealing his true form - a body of a monkey with a human face, bare feet, and white hair - the Iron Rod in his hands suddenly expanded by a thousand times, resembling a Sky-Supporting Giant Pillar as he swung it overhead at Yu Yuan.

Meanwhile, the Bi Fang Demon God again manipulated the Stone Seal, with a burst of divine light wrapping around him, transforming into a ten thousand feet tall Divine Mountain descending upon Yu Yuan.

"Boom—"

Yu Yuan swung the Mixed Gold Hammer, colliding again with the Iron Rod.

Sparks flew.

In the end, the Mixed Gold Hammer had the upper hand, instantly sending the gigantic Iron Rod flying away, transforming into a rainbow light to dodge the descending Divine Mountain, and swung towards the Bi Fang Demon God with a mighty blow.

The Bi Fang Demon God, not known for strength, hastily turned into a beam of light to dodge the hammer, looking towards the Golden Crow Crown Prince with unsettled fear.

"Crown Prince, have you noticed something strange?"

"Hm?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince slightly furrowed his brows, not understanding what he meant.

Bi Fang Demon God hesitantly said, "He feels... much stronger than when we last met!"

"That's impossible! Must be your misconception!"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince shook his head decisively.

The path of cultivation becomes steeper and more difficult as one progresses, especially after obtaining the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, where nearly each small step forward requires tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Even if one consumes a Star Fruit, an exquisite Spirit Fruit that enhances Mana, it would still require a process of assimilation, right?

It's only been a mere twenty or so days since they last saw that Qi Zhongjun, how could there be such a noticeable improvement?

That's absurd!

At that moment, a loud "bang" was heard.

Looking up, they saw Zhu Yan Demon God, the God of War of the Demon Court, being sent flying by a punch from Qi Zhongjun, his high-grade Spiritual Weapon the Iron Rod also snapping into two pieces.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince's pupils tightened incredulously at this sight.

Could Qi Zhongjun's fist possibly be harder than that high-grade Spiritual Weapon?

Caught off guard, he then saw Qi Zhongjun, after sending Zhu Yan Demon God flying, swinging the hammer directly towards himself.

"Bang!"

A deafening sound.

A familiar feeling came over him, and the Golden Crow Crown Prince felt as if a massive mountain had struck his head.

His originally handsome face instantly distorted into an oval shape, his features crowded together, and golden, brilliant blood spouted from all seven apertures, akin to blazing Taiyang Fire.

As he was sent flying, an idea involuntarily surfaced in the Golden Crow Crown Prince's mind.

This strength... indeed, seemed much stronger than the last time!
