Chapter 10: Master is too terrifying; Go down the Mountain

Leng Yanran sighed inwardly upon hearing her master's words. It seemed that she was still too weak in her master's eyes. The difference between the Third Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm and her true strength, which could rival the Unity Realm, was several major realms apart.

Qi Condensation, Sea of Qi, Void Sky, Profound Realm, Unity Realm! She realized that her true strength might even match that of the Unity Realm. Did this mean that her master intended to spar with her while crossing four or five major realms?

But considering her master's shocking immortal techniques, she wasn't worried about hurting him—no, she didn't even have that chance. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to test if she could really defeat a Unity Realm expert.

"Begin."

Chen Daoxuan's voice was deep, and he also felt somewhat nervous. After all, the difference in their realms was considerable. The system said his strength surpassed his realm by a lot, but he wasn't sure how much.

He couldn't afford to lose face in front of his disciple.

As soon as Chen Daoxuan gave the order, Leng Yanran didn't dare to be careless and immediately used her strongest attack.

"Demonic Heaven Finger!"

With a loud shout, her body swayed, almost dazzling Chen Daoxuan. Leng Yanran directly used the most powerful technique she comprehended from the Demonic Heaven Technique—the Demonic Heaven Finger.

With a pointed finger, it was as if a demonic heaven descended. A faint gray demon shadow appeared behind her, mimicking her movements, and pointed towards Chen Daoxuan.

"Demonic Heaven Finger."

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan also chose to respond with the Demonic Heaven Finger, but his version was completely different from Leng Yanran's!

Behind Chen Daoxuan, multiple figures slowly appeared—one after another, ten demonic figures with bloodshot eyes, exuding thick demonic aura!

With Chen Daoxuan's movements, all ten demonic figures pointed towards Leng Yanran's finger. Before their attacks even collided, the phantom behind Leng Yanran couldn't bear the pressure and dissipated into nothingness.

Leng Yanran herself felt as if she was bound and cold sweat appeared on her forehead. It was as if the ten real demonic beings were standing right in front of her!

This attack was akin to the Ten Great Demons launching an assault against her! Fortunately, right before their fingertips were about to collide, Chen Daoxuan instantly withdrew all the power of the Demonic Heaven Finger.

Only a gentle tap on Leng Yanran's fingertip, their index fingers connected without producing any horrifying sound.

"Hoo—"

"Master's Demonic Heaven Finger is too terrifying! It felt like facing ten real demons at once. The pressure almost shattered my Dao Heart!

"I'm ashamed. I actually thought I could exchange a blow with Master just now…"

Leng Yanran gasped for breath, finally recovering. She felt humiliated and quickly expressed her feelings to her master. She didn't expect that even at the Third Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, she would be utterly defenseless against her master. She couldn't even muster the thought of resistance. It was just too terrifying!

If her master hadn't suppressed his realm, could he have easily created a massive hole in the sky with just a single finger?

"Tsk."

Chen Daoxuan clicked his tongue lightly, surprised that even at the Third Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, he possessed such incredible strength. If he hadn't dissipated the force in time just now, that finger might have killed Leng Yanran.

However, this left him uncertain about the level of cultivators he could spar with…

"Master, can I retract my hand now...?" While Chen Daoxuan was contemplating this, Leng Yanran blushed and asked shyly.

Since their fingers had remained in contact after the previous exchange, and Chen Daoxuan hadn't withdrawn his hand, she naturally didn't dare to move.

"Cough, of course. While your current strength is enough for self-defense outside the mountain, you may still encounter danger.

"Wait a moment."

Embarrassed, Chen Daoxuan cleared his throat and then took out a finely crafted jade pendant. He stored the full power of his Demonic Heaven Finger in it. Although attacks outside the range of the Heavenly Dao Hall would weaken gradually, the Demonic Heaven Finger was an expression of his own strength and wouldn't be affected by leaving the area.

"This jade pendant contains an attack of the same strength as the one just now. Wear it, and it will protect you in critical moments."

Hearing this, Leng Yanran's eyes lit up with joy as she received the jade pendant. With her current strength, she had already felt confident enough to sweep through the other two major families in Moro Country.

Now, with the addition of this jade pendant from her master, even experts at the Unity Realm, no, even those at the Extinction Realm, would have to swallow their bitterness! Only she, who had experienced Chen Daoxuan's finger attack earlier, truly understood the terrifying power behind it!

"Thank you, Master! Once I finish dealing with family matters, I'll rush back to serve you." Leng Yanran expressed her gratitude and promised to return as soon as possible to serve her master.

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan waved his hand lightly and returned to the main hall. After bowing deeply in the direction of the hall, Leng Yanran turned and headed down the Illusionary Mountain, retracing the escape route she had taken when she was being hunted.

She couldn't believe that in less than two days, her life had undergone such a tremendous change. She had even witnessed extraordinary techniques that only immortals could possibly achieve. All of this was because she had gained an immortal master!

"After I deal with the affairs of the Leng family, I will have settled my obligations and will return to the mountain to serve my master wholeheartedly!" With this thought, Leng Yanran picked up her pace.

…

In the capital city of Moro Country, the Leng family's residence.

"Leng family Master, I'll give you some advice. Shut down the array formation, and I'll spare your life," said Wang Meng.

"Do you think Leng Family Master is a three-year-old child?" retorted Li Family Master.

"Hehe, well then, enough nonsense. Li Family Master, let's attack the formation together and break through it quickly."

"Hmph, as agreed, my Li family will take forty percent of the benefits, but that little girl, Leng Yanran, she belongs to me!"

"Naturally, naturally," Wang Meng replied with a smirk. Deep down, he couldn't help but think that the little girl might never become the possession of the Li Family Master.

They were both several hundred years old, yet he was lusting after Leng Yanran. However, Wang Meng had to admit that Leng Yanran was truly enchanting, not just in appearance but, more importantly, in talent. Her talent was at the Saint Level!

If they could use her as a furnace, it might even help them break through their bottlenecks and step into the Unity Realm! Li Family Master was aging and nearing the end of his lifespan, which was why he was so eager to use Leng Yanran as a furnace to make his breakthrough.

However, Wang Meng wouldn't let him succeed. That's why he dispatched assassins to kill Leng Yanran directly, not to capture her alive.

As the two spoke, they had already bombarded the Leng family's protective formation several times. After a moment, the great array of the Leng family showed slight cracks.

"Boom!"

With the final strike, unable to withstand the attacks of the two Unity Realm experts, the defense formation shattered completely!

"Men, attack!"
