Top Emperor of Martial Arts

"Chu Yan, you were lucky enough to escape from the Li family. Today is the day you die!" Li Hong said coldly as he waved the nine feet wild knife in his hand.    

Chu Yan never looked at Li Hong from the beginning to the end. He lowered his head and looked at Lau Qingcheng's injuries. He was burning with anger and killing intent. In the next moment, his body flashed and carried Lau Qingcheng to a huge rock in the distance. He handed her to Xuan Qing and said, "Senior disciple Xuan Qing, please take care of her for me."    

"As Heavenly Stele Master, li Hong is not easy to deal with. I will accompany you." Xuan Qing said.    

"No need. He will die today!" Chu Yan shook his head. Mi seemed to want to say something, but he didn't give her a chance. Chu Yan had already stepped out and went up to Li Hong alone.    

Everyone in the You Nv Palace was slightly shocked, "Chu Yan wants to fight Li Hong alone? And those people from the Li family, they are all Venerable One Ninth Layer, and their combat strength isn't weak."    

"What an arrogant man!" Li Hong revealed a ferocious smile. He raised his head and looked at Chu Yan. "Chu Yan, I know that you have many divine items in your possession, but all the divine weapons in the Heavenly Stele will be sealed, and even those Divine Abilities above the Sovereign realm will be suppressed. We are only competing with ordinary combat strength here. How are you going to fight me?"    

"Can't I use divine weapons?" Chu Yan tried, but found that the Vast Heaven Tower and the Fire Pattern Copper Mirror had lost all their light, as if they were suppressed by a layer of holy power, including the immortal-killing. He couldn't sense the immortal energy in all directions, nor could he use it.    

"That's right. In this place, we are competing in the most basic combat strength. How can you defeat me?!" Li Hong said with a sneer. He turned into a step and pressed down on Chu Yan.    

"Why would I need a Divine Weapon to kill you?" Chu Yan shook his head with a cold smile. He held a common sword in his hand and waved it. Immediately, thousands of Sword Qi were formed and mercilessly slashed at Li Hong.    

"Insignificant skill!" Li Hong looked at him condescendingly. The force of the nine feet wild knife slashed down, and a huge mountain appeared in the void. It was as if this slash could cut through mountains and rivers, and ruthlessly pressed down on Chu Yan.    

Chu Yan wasn't in a hurry. His Sword Qi was still shining brightly, and it kept unleashing its power, colliding with Li Hong's attack.    

Within the Heavenly Stele Mountain, a terrifying storm was formed. The blade and sword light intertwined with each other.    

Countless Chosen were instantly attracted to watch the battle between Li Hong and Chu Yan. They were all slightly shocked.    

"What a powerful pair!"    

"As Heavenly Stele Master, and having been stuck at the ninth level of the Venerable One for three years, it's not surprising that he has such combat strength. It can be said that he is the ultimate Expert. However, that Chu Yan is really powerful. He is actually able to fight Li Hong to such an extent with just a seventh level Venerable One."    

Li Hong and Chu Yan had a brief confrontation. He immediately frowned. He could feel that Chu Yan was even stronger than the last time when he was outside the Li family's inn. Although he hadn't broken through to the next realm, the bloodline in his body was still very strong. It was like a surging river, endless and endless.    

"Hmph! Lowly people are after all lowlifes. How can you defeat me?!" Li Hong let out a furious roar. He held the saber with both hands, causing the wild knife to let out a long roar. It turned into a blood-red light, and like a bloodthirsty demonic devil, it rushed towards Chu Yan to devour him.    

Chu Yan didn't dodge. He stood at the bottom of the cliff, staring coldly at the blade light. He took a step forward, and the sword in his hand flew into the sky. Suddenly, it turned into seven afterimages, and each of them was extremely powerful. They met Li Hong's sword light head-on.    

"Bang!" A series of collisions occurred.    

In the chaos, Chu Yan suddenly stepped forward. He formed a hand seal with both hands, and his eyes flickered with a demonic light. "Burning the heart with candle flames!"    

"Bang!" A burning pain immediately came from Li Hong's chest, causing him to let out a miserable cry. He quickly retreated and looked at Chu Yan in fear. "You attacked me?"    

"Ridiculous! You and I were in the middle of a fight, so why did you attack me?" Chu Yan sneered. The candle flame continued to burn his heart. Of course, it would burn his heart. Li Hong's face turned pale after a moment. He clutched his chest in pain. "Stop!"    

Chu Yan looked at Li Hong with a funny expression. Asking him to stop? Was it possible?    

Lau Qingcheng was his reverse scale, and so was Mi. If he was late, what would happen to Mi and Lau Qingcheng? He did not dare to imagine that he would not let go of Li Hong now.    

"Li Hong, I have said before, if you meet me in the competition for the Heavenly Stele, li Hong's name will no longer be on the Heavenly Stele. I will keep my word!" Chu Yan let out a low roar.    

"Puff!" Li Hong violently coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was terrified. The candle flame had attacked his heart, making it impossible for him to guard against it. He could only flee at an extremely fast speed, pulling away from Chu Yan.    

"I am a member of the Li family!"    

"So what?" Chu Yan said arrogantly as he chased after Li Hong with incredible speed. He looked down at Li Hong and said, "Go to the Underworld and repent!"    

"Bang!" Chu Yan's sword light slashed down. Li Hong's eyes widened, but he had no strength to escape. He could only let the sword light slash at his body.    

Li Hong was dead. He couldn't believe that he would be defeated by the Chu Yan whom he had never seen seriously before. The Heavenly Stele Master of the generation had fallen from the sky, falling to the altar.    

When everyone in the distance saw this scene, they all let out a sigh.    

That young man who had been brimming with energy since the Heavenly Stele competition had entered the arena had once again created a miracle.    

After killing Li Hong, Chu Yan raised his head and surveyed the surrounding Li Clan clansmen. Immediately, one of them trembled. "Chu Yan, we are also following orders. Li Hong is Heavenly Stele Master, and he represents the Li family. We can only follow orders."    

"For the sake of Xiaoyao, I will spare your lives today. If there is a next time, I won't let any of you live." Chu Yan shouted coldly. Only then did the people of Li family heave a sigh of relief. They had witnessed the battle just now with their own eyes. Chu Yan was too strong. If he attacked them with such strength, they would admit that none of them would be able to survive today.    

"Thank you!" A disciple of Li family cupped his fists and left. As for revenge, he didn't even dare to think about it.    

At this moment, outside the Heavenly Monolith Realm, Second Elder of the Li family's face stiffened, and a strong wave of anger erupted from his body.    

"Second Elder, what's wrong?" A deacon of the Li family couldn't help but ask.    

The elder's eyes were red, and he let out a low roar, "Hong'er has fallen!"    

"Boom!" This news immediately caused a commotion within the Heavenly Stele Mountain.    

Li Hong was dead? As the previous batch's Heavenly Stele, he had a unique advantage. Shouldn't he be able to obtain a Heavenly Stele and easily become Heavenly Stele Master? But now, he had actually died in the Heavenly Monolith Realm?    

"Hong Er is Heavenly Stele Master. Even if he met Shi Cangsong and Hu Qiong, he would still be able to escape even if he couldn't defeat them. Who killed him?" The people of Li family's left sect frowned. They had high hopes for Li Hong. They thought that Ji Longyu would become a Sovereign, but this time, li Hong was at least the sixth Heavenly Stele Master.    

"Chu Yan! I will never live under the same sky as you!" Second Elder of the Li family let out a roar that shocked everyone.    

Chu Yan? Second Elder of the Li family furiously roared at Chu Yan. Could it be that Chu Yan had killed Li Hong? But, how could this be possible? Chu Yan was merely a Seventh Grade Venerable One, and there was a gap of two realms between them. Could it be that his combat strength could really look down on Heavenly Stele Master?    

Within the Heavenly Monolith Realm, Chu Yan had killed Li Hong in a fit of rage, causing a huge commotion. There were tens of thousands of people in the Heavenly Monolith Realm, but none of them dared to provoke Chu Yan.    

Chu Yan landed beside Lau Qingcheng. Looking at Lau Qingcheng's haggard face, he felt a little heartache. "Sorry, I'm late."    

"It's not your fault. I'm fine." Lau Qingcheng smiled sweetly and then looked at him. She looked at Mi and said, "Sister Mi has been protecting me. She suffered quite a big injury."    

Chu Yan was stunned and looked at Lau Qingcheng gratefully. Although he and Mi were siblings, they were not related by blood after all. So in front of Lau Qingcheng, he deliberately kept a distance from her.    

But when Lau Qingcheng opened her mouth, his heart warmed. He hugged Lau Qingcheng and walked towards Mi. "Mi, are you alright?"    

"Mr Chu, I'm fine." Mi smiled happily. "Mr Chu is already very strong. He can even defeat Li Hong. With your strength this year, you will definitely become a Heavenly Stele Master."    

"You have to work hard as well. You are now an Empyrean Goddess. You are no longer the same as before." Chu Yan rubbed Mi's head. Mi snorted again. She was already an adult, yet she still liked to rub her head.    

However, Mi was happy in her heart. Countless times, she had hoped to reunite with Chu Yan. Back then, King Mi's choice had made her wish that she would die. But now, she did not have any grudges with Chu Yan, which made her very happy.    

Xuan Qing looked at Chu Yan from the side and sighed. Back in the ancient forest, she hadn't attached much importance to Chu Yan. At that time, Chu Yan was only a Sixth Grade King, which was a far cry from the geniuses of Overlord's forces. But now, he had gradually revealed the edge of Heavenly Stele Master.    

Just as Mi had said, Chu Yan would definitely be able to obtain a Heavenly Stele this year.    

At this moment, in the void, no one noticed an old man hiding in the void. He had been following Chu Yan and had witnessed the battle with his own eyes, which made his old eyes sparkle.    

"Interesting little fellow." Old Man was surprised. He had been hiding in the void, watching Chu Yan from the beginning. When Chu Yan started to comprehend the Devil Dao Heavenly Stele, he was shocked. He never thought that Chu Yan would be able to see through the essence of the devil without his guidance.    

One should know that many people or devils couldn't see through this. In the world of devils, many devils believed that they were devils, evil, and had killed countless people. It was the same for humans, full of hypocrisy. However, Chu Yan was different. He had seen through the nature of humans and devils. He said that there was no such thing as a human devil in this world. After comprehending the Heavenly Stele, evil spirits had descended to this world.    

He was shocked, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the Devil Dao Heavenly Stele was established in hundreds of galaxies, and there were people who could see through it every year.    

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. First, Chu Yan was chased by Shi Cangsong, and now that he had escaped, he wasn't afraid of being criticized by others. He was actually a terrifying Fire Mark Master, and now, for the sake of his beauty, he was infuriated once again. That terrifying combat strength had completely moved Old Man.    

More importantly, Old Man saw determination in Chu Yan's eyes. That was a rare thing. In the path of cultivation, although one's talent wasn't lacking, one's mood was equally important. How many geniuses would have a heart devil because of a single failure? However, Chu Yan didn't.    

Another month passed. He looked at Chu Yan in the void and found out that Chu Yan had failed many times in his breakthrough, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. He would always try again.    

Lau Qingcheng had always been gentle and gentle to Lau Qingcheng. More importantly, she had made Old Man realize that although Chu Yan had many enemies in the Heavenly Monolith Realm, he had many friends as well. Friends were all the kind of people who were willing to work for him.    

"This kid is a talent that can be molded!" Old Man was moved. At this moment, his Divine Sense had finally disappeared. No one knew where he had gone to.
