Chen Guan snapped back to reality and looked at Duan Shulin and Qin Ziyu.

Duan Shulin came over with a smile, gave Chen Guan a thumbs-up, and said, "Old Guan, you truly are invincible at the same level, no wonder even Jiang Qiemo couldn't defeat you."

Chen Guan was just thinking of bragging a little, but he saw Qin Ziyu standing motionless, seemingly not quite right.

"Qin Ziyu..." Chen Guan called out, but Qin Ziyu didn't respond.

Duan Shulin also sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Qin Ziyu.

They saw Qin Ziyu standing there, staring intently, as if he was looking at something but seemingly seeing nothing, without focus.

"What's wrong with him?" Duan Shulin asked with a strange expression.

Chen Guan shook his head; he didn't know what was wrong with Qin Ziyu, but he felt a familiar sensation from him.

"Ultimate of the Infinite... Is Qin Ziyu going to enter the Ultimate of the Infinite state again..." Chen Guan stopped Duan Shulin from going over and thought to himself as he looked at Qin Ziyu.

"I want to fight." Qin Ziyu's blank gaze finally had focus, which landed on Chen Guan's face.

"Uh!" Chen Guan rejoiced inwardly.

He was just thinking of practicing skills in live combat, and now the opportunity had come.

He was thinking of going over to practice his secret skills on Qin Ziyu, but suddenly he heard the sound of hooves approaching.

Turning his head, he saw that the newcomers were Wang Lian and that Jiuyue legend Qin Qiu, each riding a black horse. But those black horses were not ordinary creatures, clouds seemed to gather at their four hooves, galloping as if soaring through the clouds.

Chen Guan was a bit surprised; they had deliberately chosen this path down the mountain to avoid others.

"How did Shang Ziyi manage to find us, and why are Wang Lian and Qin Qiu also here? Are they here to cause trouble?" Chen Guan wondered as the two riders slowed down and stopped about three meters away from them.

"Know them?" Qin Qiu asked Wang Lian.

"Two old friends; when we first entered the Secret Realm, we teamed up," Wang Lian said with a charming smile.

Qin Qiu's gaze swept over the three faces and finally landed on Qin Ziyu: "I wondered who it was, turns out it's that unlucky coffin child, such bad luck."

Chen Guan was taken aback; although Qin Qiu didn't mention any names, his words were clearly directed at Qin Ziyu. It turned out he knew Qin Ziyu.

But when Qin Qiu referred to Qin Ziyu as a coffin child, Chen Guan couldn't understand what that meant.

Qin Ziyu, who had been focused on Chen Guan and hadn't looked at the newcomers, turned to gaze at Qin Qiu upon hearing his words.

"Say it again." The usually gentle Qin Ziyu's face turned icy as he coldly stared at Qin Qiu.

"I'll say it a thousand times—an unlucky coffin child." Qin Qiu's latter words held an emphasized tone, spoken word by word.

Qin Ziyu's face showed anger as purple and cyan colors surged; he drew his sword and stabbed towards Qin Qiu.

The Purple and Cyan Energy wrapped around the sword like two dragons, transforming into a powerful sword light that instantly reached Qin Qiu.

Qin Qiu sat on his horse, watching the sword light approach, and casually waved his sleeve. The Primordial Energy on his sleeve swelled, shattering Qin Ziyu's nearly indestructible sword light like garbage.

Even Qin Ziyu's entire body was pushed back several steps by the violent whirlwind-like Primordial Energy, using his sword on the ground to steady himself.

Chen Guan was somewhat surprised; although Qin Ziyu was only at the Second Awakening, his Purple and Cyan Qi Profound Skill, transformed into sword light, possessed terrifying power, with destructive capacity at the top among the same level.

Qin Qiu's mere casual wave, using only Primordial Energy to shatter it, showed that he indeed lived up to his prestigious reputation, showing immense strength.

Blood seeped from Qin Ziyu's lips; it was clear that even this one blow had injured his internal organs. The power of that wave was more terrifying than imagined, inflicting even internal damage.

"Wasting the Purple and Cyan Qi Profound Skill on you truly is a waste," Qin Qiu mocked.

Qin Ziyu said nothing, his entire demeanor becoming as calm as a mountain, seemingly able to withstand all the world's wind and rain. Time was but a fleeting sight, and three thousand years later, only the mountains endure eternal.

No longer moved by Qin Qiu's words, Qin Ziyu struck again, with purple and cyan sword energies intertwining and merging into a composite color—neither blue nor purple, yet both blue and purple.

Qin Ziyu finally re-entered the Ultimate of the Infinite state, merging the Purple and Cyan Energy into one.

Seeing the authentic Ultimate of the Infinite, Chen Guan was in awe. The real thing indeed looked more powerful, stronger than when he used it.

Watching Qin Ziyu's Unity of Man and Sword strike again, Qin Qiu remained seated on his horse, like an emperor overlooking a battlefield, or a deity disdainful of mortals.

Once again, he merely waved his sleeve, directly shattering the sword aura formed by the Purple and Cyan Divine Skill, one of the world's most destructive secret techniques.

In the Ultimate of the Infinite state, Qin Ziyu still couldn't withstand the violent Primordial Energy flow. His body was swept away like a fallen leaf for several meters, and the sword in his hand was flung out.

Chen Guan flashed, arriving later but reaching first, pressing his hands on Qin Ziyu's back to forcibly disperse the force on him. His legs left two deep marks in the ground before he finally stopped.

After Qin Ziyu landed, although he could still stand, he held back the blood in his chest, forcibly swallowing the blood that had reached his mouth.

Absolute power and level suppression— even in the Ultimate of the Infinite state, Qin Ziyu couldn't break through the opponent's overwhelming power and was forcibly suppressed.

"Coffin child, you are not yet qualified to be my opponent; first, try to break through the Qin King Array." Qin Qiu spoke and glanced at Chen Guan: "Being with such ill-fated people, your future and destiny will likely be fraught with ill fate."

Having said that, Qin Qiu and Wang Lian rode away, heading down the mountain.

"I will break through the Qin King Array." Qin Ziyu whispered towards Qin Qiu's retreating figure, then finally couldn't hold back and spat out blood.

Duan Shulin remarked in amazement: "Is that Qin Qiu's self-created Composite Secret Skill, 'Gale Sweeps Leaves'? It's truly terrifying, no wonder he could break into the top ten of the Tiger List at such a young age."

Chen Guan hurriedly took out an elixir for Qin Ziyu. He didn't think Qin Ziyu was really so weak, it was just that the level difference was too great.

If Qin Ziyu were also Level 30, he might give Qin Qiu a real fight.

Qin Qiu acted as if nothing happened, chatting and joking with Wang Lian, only seemingly inadvertently glancing at his sleeve's inner side, where a tiny hole had formed, adding a touch of amusement to Qin Qiu's face.
