The Dark Martial Hall Master was practically going insane.
He felt utterly stifled.
He was a dignified Heavenly Yuan realm martial arts Grandmaster.
His reliance was on Heavenly Yuan Force, which was a level higher than Martial Qi.
It was precisely because he mastered Heavenly Yuan Force that martial arts Grandmasters could easily crush all existences below the Grandmaster realm.
However, today his Heavenly Yuan Force had failed.
Not only could he not suppress Ling Fan, but the Dark Martial Hall Master found his own Heavenly Yuan Force being suppressed instead…
What kind of monstrous talent was this young man!
He had lived for decades, yet he had never heard of a martial artist who could suppress Heavenly Yuan Force with True Qi!
*Boom*
A large hole exploded on the other side of the hall. The Dark Martial Hall Master retreated while fighting.
Soon, a tall, nine-story dark gold hall appeared before him.
This was where the Dark Martial Hall Master resided year-round.
It was also the origin of the name "Dark Martial Hall."
"Kid, if you have the guts, follow me!"
The Dark Martial Hall Master turned and fled into the hall.
Ling Fan stood with his hands behind his back before the hall.
He tilted his head slightly, surveying the dark gold hall. It was imprinted with various talismans, exuding an ancient grandeur and an aura of invincibility.
From Ling Fan's perspective, it was clear.
This dark gold hall had been refined into a quasi-Profound tier spiritual weapon.
Moreover, it was incredibly sturdy. Even a peak early Heavenly Yuan realm expert would be unable to breach its defenses.
It seemed this was the Dark Martial Hall Master's greatest trump card.
With the protection of this hall, even a mid-Heavenly Yuan realm expert could not do anything to him.
No wonder they said the Dark Martial Hall Master was the hardest to kill among the Four Grandmasters of Tianchu Province.
So that was the reason.
"Heh heh, hiding in your turtle shell, you think I can't do anything to you?"
Ling Fan chuckled lightly.
He raised an arm, forming his hand into a blade, and slashed fiercely at the nine-story dark gold hall.
A black sharp edge instantly streaked across the sky.
One of the Thirty-Six Sky-Peering Skills.
Cloud-Piercing Wings.
In an instant.
A strange tremor sounded.
It was as if the nine-story dark gold hall let out a mournful cry.
A perfectly flat, incredibly smooth cut appeared in the middle of the hall.
*Creak, creak.*
The upper half of the hall, to the shock of the experts who had followed, crashed down with a roar.
The nine-story dark gold hall…
Was destroyed!
This was a quasi-Profound tier spiritual weapon!
Experts who knew some of the inside story trembled violently, their minds buzzing as if they had been struck hard.
This was too terrifying.
To cleave the Golden Hall in one strike…
How terrifying.
Was he truly just a peak Qi Refining realm martial artist of seventeen or eighteen years old?
All the following experts stared in utter horror at Ling Fan's young and ordinary figure. They felt that this not-so-tall figure was now infinitely elevated and expanded in their hearts, leaving them only able to look up in awe and reverence.
Inside the nine-story dark gold hall.
The Dark Martial Hall Master had just climbed to the fourth floor.
He wanted to reach the ninth floor. This quasi-Profound tier spiritual weapon not only excelled in defense but could also unleash a charged attack capable of killing Grandmaster realm experts.
But he had only reached the fourth floor.
He suddenly felt the space around him open up.
The dim hall was now illuminated by the sky.
It was like a person who habitually wore a hat had their hat blown off.
What was happening?
He couldn't help but look up.
The dark gold hall above his head had vanished…
*Bang bang!*
The Dark Martial Hall Master felt his heart skip a beat, his breathing becoming difficult…
This was a quasi-Profound tier spiritual weapon that even Heavenly Yuan realm Grandmasters found difficult to break, practically impregnable.
Once, the Governor's Mansion of Tianchu Province had joined forces with several major powers to encircle and suppress his Dark Martial Hall.
But as long as he hid inside, with the defense of this nine-story dark gold hall, the Governor's Mansion could do nothing to him.
But now…
The upper half of the hall was gone.
*Rumble!*
It was only then that the upper half of the hall crashed to the ground with a roar, like an earthquake, causing the onlookers to stumble.
And the Dark Martial Hall Master suddenly felt something strange about his body.
It seemed…
A chill…
He couldn't help but look down at his waist.
A line of blood appeared at his waist…
The Dark Martial Hall Master's eyes widened in extreme horror, his body trembling with fear.
But as soon as he moved his hand.
His upper body slid down.
Just like the severed nine-story Golden Hall.
The Dark Martial Hall Master was also cut into two pieces!
"How is this possible! I am Heavenly Yuan realm… I actually died at the hands of a mere brat at the peak of Qi Refining!"
"Ah! I am not reconciled!"
The Dark Martial Hall Master's eyes were wide open, his consciousness rapidly sinking into boundless darkness.
All around.
Countless underground world experts stared blankly, their eyes wide open.
They had witnessed this scene, which they would never forget.
The nine-story dark gold hall, along with the Dark Martial Hall Master, was cleaved in two…
*Boom!*
A moment later.
The surroundings erupted. All the experts exploded into a frenzy.
The Dark Martial Hall Master was dead!
The Dark Martial Hall was finished!
And the instigator of all this…
Was merely a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth.
Heavens.
This was truly like a dream.
Liu Han was speechless for a long time.
He looked at the Nine-Story Golden Hall, now a ruin, and then at Ling Fan's figure, feeling an infinite sense of reverence in his heart!
This was Master Ling, too powerful, too powerful to be measured by ordinary standards.
No…
He couldn't be called a master anymore…
Grandmaster Ling!
Beside Liu Han, Ji Hong's wild eyes were filled with unparalleled fervor as he stared intently at Ling Fan.
And Ji Yan was so shocked her mouth couldn't close.
She looked at Ling Fan's back, her beautiful eyes filled with an incredibly complex expression…
This youth, whom she had not thought highly of at first.
Had successively saved Ji Hong, consecutively killed the Six Great Protectors, and killed Young Master Mo Xie.
And now, he had also slain the Dark Martial Hall Master, a martial arts Grandmaster who had dominated the underground world of Tianchu Province for decades…
Thinking of this.
Ji Yan felt her face flush.
She felt immense shame in her heart.
…
On the other side.
When Bai Hao, Su Long, Hua Yue, and others who had rushed over also witnessed the scene of the Nine-Story Golden Hall collapsing and the Dark Martial Hall Master being split in two.
Bai Hao and Su Long were so scared they almost lost their souls…
The Dark Martial Hall Master was dead!
Good heavens.
To use his hand as a blade, to cleave the Nine-Story Golden Hall and a Heavenly Yuan realm Grandmaster…
Was this something a human could do?
At this moment, seeing the figure who remained aloof and indifferent before the ruins of the Golden Hall, Bai Hao, Su Long, and the others felt infinite awe and fear in their hearts.
They finally realized.
The youth they had always disdained was actually a divine dragon from the heavens.
Bai Hao, Su Long, and the others exchanged glances, their teeth chattering.
And Hua Yue stood there in a daze, like a quiet and beautiful flower blooming alone.
She looked at Ling Fan's back…
For a moment, she was lost in thought.
So this was your true face!
The young martial arts Grandmaster!
