  …………

  As Qin's voice fell, his figure burst out in a flash, with golden light shining between his hands, condensing into a pair of palm-sized lotus fans, carrying a sharp breaking sound, pressing down on Du Feiyun's head.

  With Qin's strength and speed of ten thousand years, a distance of one zhang, arrived in the blink of an eye.

  Du Feiyun stepped on the clouds with his feet, and in an instant, he took two steps, and his body moved horizontally five feet away.

  This was his limit. Facing Qin Wan Year, a cultivator at the second layer of the Qi Refining stage, within a distance of one zhang, he could only react to this extent.

  Nine layers of body refinement, two layers of energy refinement, the difference in strength is nearly tenfold. Even at his peak, he wouldn't be able to withstand three moves under Qin Wanyan's hands, let alone now?

  A gigantic golden palm suddenly struck the air, once again slapping the ground and causing it to cave in, revealing a massive handprint, with dust flying everywhere.

  Qin Wannian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, his heel twisted, and he instantly turned around, his hands once again slapping towards Du Feiyun's chest.

  Du Feiyun was powerless to resist and could only rely on his agile and ghostly Cloud Step technique to dodge again.

  However, at this time, the yuan force in his dantian was almost exhausted, and his footwork was slightly unsmooth, with a speed that was three tenths slower. As a result, he barely dodged out one foot away before being swept by the edge of the golden palm across his chest.

  A cracking sound, it was the sound of a rib breaking, clear and audible.

  Du Feiyun's body flew to one side and heavily crashed into the steep mountain wall, then fell weakly to the ground, splashing up a burst of dust.

  He gritted his teeth, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead, and struggled to get up with both hands supporting the ground. One hand covered the numb and painful chest, while the other wiped away the fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

  Qin Wannian's face wore a cruel and venomous smile, as if he was savoring the sight of Du Feiyun's pale and wretched appearance. He took another step forward, his hands shaped like eagle claws reaching out to grab Du Feiyun's shoulders.

  Look at that posture, Qin Wannian is going to pinch Du Feiyun's shoulder blade to pieces, he really wants to pinch Du Feiyun's bone joints inch by inch!

  Du Feiyun was already injured, his footsteps even more unsteady, the needle-like pain in his chest making him break out in cold sweat, his face's blue veins bulging. Seeing Qin Wannian pounce again, he gritted his teeth, the last bit of weak true energy in his dantian suddenly bursting forth, his trembling legs instantly treading on the "cloud step" as he dodged to one side.

  However, they were less than a zhang apart, Qin Wannian's speed was extremely fast, how could he dodge?

  Just a little over six inches away, Qin Wan's right hand landed on his left shoulder, and his evasive figure froze in place, unable to move another inch.

  "Crack!"

  Another crisp cracking sound echoed, entering the ears of the crowd. Du Shi and Du Wanqing's faces turned pale, with tears hidden in their eyes.

  Qin Wannian's right hand grasped his five fingers tightly, pinching Du Feiyun's left shoulder to pieces. Then, with a forceful throw, Du Feiyun's body heavily crashed into the mountain wall like a broken sack, and then rolled to the ground.

  Qin Wannian stood rooted to the spot, gazing at Du Feiyun's ashen face and his entire body convulsing in agony, suddenly throwing back his head and laughing loudly.

  "Haha, hahaha!"

  Du Feiyun lay weakly on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, and his right hand covering the left shoulder that was dripping with fresh blood. His teeth were clenched so hard they creaked, and his face was twisted in agony, cold sweat pouring down, mixed with dust and dirt, making him almost unrecognizable.

  His internal energy has been depleted, his dantian is empty, and now he's suffered another severe injury. To say that he can still resist or dodge is far-fetched; even standing up is difficult for him. In this state, his outcome is already clear.

  He will be crushed to death by Qin Wannian without any resistance, and then suffer the torture of slow slicing, finally dying in extreme agony. As for Du Shi and Du Yunqing, they will probably end up the same way.

  "No!!!!! I won't die!!!!! I'm not willing!!!!!"

  Du Feiyun, curled up on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, but in his heart he was loudly screaming. Unwillingness, anger, and a desire to survive all surged up at once.

  Some people say that those who have died once will no longer be afraid of death. But Du Feiyun is clearly not one of them, he's not afraid of death, he's just afraid that his own death would be too humiliating, too worthless!

  My fate is in my own hands, why can others decide my life and death? Is it destined that the poor and lowly will be oppressed to death without any chance of resistance? Why? Why? Why?

  I want to live! I want all those who want to harm me, who want to kill me, to die!!

  Past life and present life, all sorts of accumulated resentment, all sorts of unbearable past events surge up in my mind, unwillingness and anger burst out instantly, filling my heart.

  Du Feiyun let out a mournful and unwilling cry, his last bit of strength bursting forth as he suddenly stood up from the ground, looking up at the sky with a fierce howl.

  A mournful and despairing voice pierced through metal and stone, captivating people's hearts, echoing far away, those who heard it were heartbroken, and those who listened shed tears.

  Only Qin Wannian wore a pleased smile, admiring Du Feiyun's appearance, as if he was savoring his despair and unwillingness.

  Du Fei Yun's mournful and long whistle suddenly sounded, his original yuan force had already been exhausted, at this moment all his strength was consumed, and his body suddenly softened and was about to fall.

  Suddenly, a surge of power like a raging flame burst forth from within his body, as if hot oil had been ignited, filling Du Fei Yun's limbs and bones.

  Like a raging fire, once ignited it cannot be stopped. Before Du Fei Yun could even react, his body's four limbs and 108 meridians were already filled with this scorching power.

  Those powers, unknown where they came from, suddenly appeared, and in an instant, they surged like a spring, flowing and surging within his body, gathering into an unmatched yuan force, rapidly circulating along the meridians, converging towards the dantian.

  Du Fei Yun's long wail suddenly stopped, his face shocked and disbelieving as he stood frozen on the spot.

  The path winds back and forth, willows dark and flowers bright!

  He never thought that when he was already exhausted and had no strength to resist, he would suddenly burst out with such a shocking and terrifying power.

  At this time, the yuan force that was frantically gathering and condensing within his body was ten times stronger than before. The surging yuan force was extremely pure, far surpassing the yuan force of a ninth-level Body Refining cultivator.

  What is this? This is the medicinal power that has been lurking in every limb and joint!

  This is the last layer of medicinal power that has not been fully absorbed by him, where Taiyi Jindan and Shaoyang Dan are hidden in the deepest place!

  At that moment, he felt a familiar surge of yuan force in his meridians and dantian. Du Feiyun suddenly understood.

  All along, he thought that in that one month of closed-door cultivation, he had already absorbed all the medicinal power within his body. At this moment, he only knew that the medicinal power of those two elixirs actually still had a layer hidden deep within.

  He still underestimated the power of the Rebirth and Renewal Pill and the Lesser Yang Pill! This is the true power and effect of the elixir! Refining elixirs requires at least a First Heaven realm cultivation base, how can one belittle the power and effect of elixirs?

  Surging yuan force surged and overflowed, flowing non-stop in the meridians. In just a few breaths, it had already filled his dantian completely. Moreover, those yuan forces showed no signs of stopping, still rushing forward to his dantian without any hindrance.

  After Du Feiyun stood up and let out a loud whistle, his face suddenly changed color. At this moment, his complexion improved even more, and his pale face actually showed a hint of rosiness. Qin Wannian immediately stopped laughing and looked at him with suspicion.

  "What is this? Breakthrough?!" Just observing for a moment, Qin Wannian's face suddenly changed color, his eyes wide with an unbelievable expression.

  Indeed, at this moment, Du Fei Yun's entire body was continuously rising in momentum, and a fierce gust of wind suddenly rolled up around him without warning. His body seemed to be undergoing a subtle transformation, with the bones and meridians under his skin appearing to gradually expand.

  At a glance, Du Feiyun could actually give people an illusion that his body was growing bigger.

  Moreover, his white robe actually fluttered without wind, slowly swelling up, and between his hands was a bright red glow that grew increasingly brighter and dazzling.

  Qin Wannian, who was in the Refining Qi stage, had also experienced such a strange phenomenon and instantly determined that Du Feiyun was breaking through!

  And this is exactly the symbol of breaking through from the 9th layer of the Refining Body stage to the 1st layer of the Refining Qi stage!

  "My god, how is this possible? How can this hybrid be so against the heavens?? How can he possibly break through the Refining Qi stage so quickly???" Qin Wannian's smile was completely replaced by shock and incredulity as he stared at Du Feiyun who was currently breaking through, his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent.

  "Originally I wanted to torment you slowly, but now it seems I have no choice but to kill you immediately!"

  A fierce glint flashed in Qin Wan's eyes, and he made up his mind instantly. He would immediately eliminate Du Feiyun!

  "Go to hell!" Qin Wannian suddenly roared, his body bursting out in an instant. His fists, flashing with golden light, struck fiercely towards Du Feiyun's head.

  Between the two of them, the distance was less than two zhangs. With Qin Wanyan's strength, it was almost a snap of his fingers to cross the two-zhang distance and arrive in front of Du Feiyun.

  A golden fist shadow the size of a wine jar appeared above Du Feiyun's head, and it smashed down instantly without stopping. However, Du Feiyun still stood in place with his eyes closed, as if he didn't notice.

  Just as Du Feiyun's head was about to be smashed into powder like a big watermelon by the double fists, a loud shout also rang out in everyone's ears, like a burst of thunder.

  "Stop!"

  A blue figure flashed, a middle-aged man in a blue long gown suddenly appeared from the crowd, his feet stepped on the shoulders of the Qin family's guardian disciples, and instantly swept between the two.

  A majestic long sword shot out like lightning, flashing with icy blue light, the blade pointing directly at Qin Wannian's throat, arriving in the blink of an eye.

  Green robe, green sword, willow pointing to the sky.

  The sword's momentum is fierce, its aura like a rainbow, its light and shadow like ice, its green robe like a demon.

  Qin Wanyan's double fists had arrived at the top of Du Feiyun's head, only one foot away, and the golden fist shadow was already brushing against Du Feiyun's scalp. If it fell another inch, Du Feiyun's head would become a watermelon under an iron hammer.

  Alas, the icy blue sword shadow also carried a sharp sword energy, stabbing towards Qin Wanyan's throat, less than an inch away.

  With a pair of fists, Du Feiyun was killed, and he also couldn't escape the fate of being pierced through the throat by a sword.

  Withdraw his fist, not killing Du Feiyun, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity.

  To kill or not to kill?

  Qin Wan Nian did not dare to gamble, although he knew that Liu Xiang Tian might not dare to kill him, but he did not dare to use his own life to gamble!

  Spare the enemy for now, as long as he is still alive, there will be a chance for revenge.

  It was just a moment of hesitation in his heart, and Qin Wan Nian immediately lowered his head, retracted his fist, and flew out to one side.

  The sword light suddenly retracted, and a figure in a green robe, Liu Xiangtian, fell to the ground, protecting Du Feiyun's body, with a cold expression staring at Qin Wannian three feet away.

  "You've gone mad!"
