One strike to knock down the brown bear monster.
Not only were the three spirits greatly surprised, but even Xie Ziran, who always wore a blank expression, couldn't help but show a trace of interest.
The three spirits didn't pay much attention earlier, and they didn't know the specific situation.
Xie Ziran is different. She saw the whole scene of Chen Yun's confrontation with the brown bear monster.
The brown bear monster seemed a bit contemptuous and casually flicked a palm towards him.
Although it was just a casual flick, the speed was not slow at all. It could be described as lightning-fast, and moreover, this blow was fierce and powerful, even if the stone was struck, it would shatter into fine powder.
But what did Chen Yun do?
He merely lifted his hand lightly to block it, and not only did he resist the brown bear's tremendous force, but he also kicked with even greater speed afterward. The brown bear, weighing over two thousand catties, was propelled like a cannonball and slammed into the cliff wall.
For cultivators who can reach the intermediate level of magic practitioners through normal cultivation, being powerless is not a basic requirement. It is not particularly strange to defeat a brown bear monster weighing over two thousand catties.
But Chen Yun's current performance is not only powerless but also agile, and moreover, his defense is very strong.
"Could it be that he has refined his body to have copper skin and iron bones?"
Xie Ziran's inner thoughts were slightly surprised. As the first person in history to achieve immortality through cultivating the physical body, she naturally knew what the cultivators of cultivation should look like at each level. Generally speaking, medium-level magic practitioners are capable of evenly distributing pure Yang energy and have strong anti-punching abilities. This is undeniable. However, to refine copper skin and iron bones, either the cultivation method is very advanced or there is an extraordinary opportunity. Otherwise, for medium-level magic practitioners who cultivate their bodies through normal cultivation, their bones can be strengthened as if they are made of steel, but their muscles, flesh, and skin cannot be so powerful.
It was evident that Chen Yun had resisted the brown bear monster's attack, which was clearly not just because his bones were comparable to steel, but also because his muscles, flesh, and skin were as strong as iron. This is the training of an upper-grade cultivation method.
The more superior the cultivation method, the harder it is to practice. Even for those with considerable talent, it takes at least several decades to cultivate copper skin and iron bones. Chen Yun is only a few years old now?
"The show aunt said that he has been practicing for less than a year in total, regardless of the cultivation method or any extraordinary experiences, he can refine copper skin and iron bones in such a short time. This natural talent is truly rare."
Xie Ziran became increasingly appreciative of Chen Yun, her eyes never leaving the battlefield. The brown bear monster had been scornful of its enemy and was struck away by Chen Yun's blow. It should have reacted now; the formal battle had just begun. She wanted to see if Chen Yun had really refined copper skin and iron bones, and what kind of outstanding performance he would make.
As her thoughts were in a whirl, the sound of the brown bear monster's roar came from the mountain wall, "You have provoked me, boy!"
Just as the voice fell, everyone saw the brown bear monster embedded in the mountain wall, its two eyes turning blood-red. It was evident that it had become so angry that it had somewhat lost its senses and used demonic force.
"Old bear! No!"
"Don't be impulsive, don't hurt people!"
Seeing this, the monkey demon, the lynx demon, and the rhinoceros demon hurriedly shouted.
They had lived with the brown bear monster day and night, so how could they not know about their comrade's terrifying "bearish temper"?
If it gets angry, it truly doesn't care about anything and will sweep everything aside.
The brown bear monster wasn't listening.
Only to see its demonic force suddenly erupt, the mountain wall "boom" exploded, and then it rushed towards Chen Yun like a massive tank!
Such a commotion, Chen Yun naturally saw clearly.
He wasn't afraid at all; instead, he shouted, "Come on, good!"
Soon, Chen Yun seemed to transform into a wisp of blue smoke and a beam of light. He stepped forward with a powerful stride, and his robes were violently inflated, as if they were an inflated balloon.
Boom!
Chen Yun pushed out a palm quickly, and the strong physical force carried the powerful gale of wind, causing a violent explosion. It was as if it had exploded the air, especially fierce and terrifying.
The continuous firing sounds around his body, and the large amount of gravel and broken mud on the ground shook up at once, spreading the fierce sandstorm towards the brown bear monster.
With a single step, the ground around Chen Yun seemed to sink, and countless sand grains and mud were violently thrown into the air, swept up by the palm wind he had pushed out, forming a wall of sand and earth. Every grain of sand and stone was like a dart, creating a howling sound as it pierced through the air.
This is clearly a force that cannot be underestimated!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sand and stones, like locusts, struck the brown bear monster's body. Although they did not cause any substantial damage, they did slow down its movements.
There was no other way, the brown bear monster's defense was too terrifying, and it was impossible for the sand and stones to break through its defense.
However, in that brief moment of delay, the brown bear monster, which had already reached Chen Yun in front of him, was startled to find that the Chen Yun before his eyes had suddenly disappeared.
The brown bear monster quickly lowered its head and saw that Chen Yun had suddenly curled up.
It was just about to launch another attack.
But just as it was about to launch another attack, Chen Yun, who had crouched low, suddenly "rebounded" with his body, leaping up like a shell ejected from a cannon and hitting the brown bear monster's abdomen with a punch. It was lifted up as if it were a sheet of paper and slammed down towards the ground!
Boom!
The ground was instantly smashed into a huge deep pit.
The surrounding air was shattered, with a loud explosion and dust rising. Among the three demons, they felt a fierce aura fluttering.
A "sandstorm" fills the vision.
If an ordinary person were there, they would certainly not be able to see what was happening clearly. However, the three demons and Xie Ziran had excellent vision. They immediately pierced through the endless dust and saw Chen Yun continuously punching the brown bear monster in the deep pit, punch after punch.
In just two blinks of the eyes, he had delivered over a hundred punches!
Xie Ziran and the three demons only felt the dense and pure Yang energy, filling the entire canyon mouth.
"What... What?"
"He actually has the old bear on the ropes?"
The leopard demon, monkey demon, and rhinoceros demon all took a deep breath. They really didn't expect that even an ordinary medium-level magic practitioner like Chen Yun could be so fierce, completely overpowering the brown bear monster!
Even Xie Ziran was surprised to see this.
She clearly saw that Chen Yun used only the power of his physical body for each punch, but somehow, just the simple movement of his physical body's sinews and bones could set off air explosions. Such a level of physical strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary physical cultivation medium-level magic practitioner!
Of course, Xie Ziran could also see that although Chen Yun did not use any spells, each move he made used unique methods. Either the force was released in a continuous wave without end, or it was concentrated into a point, creating an explosive impact.
"It turns out he has mastered a very advanced 'body fighting' technique."
Xie Ziran pondered, "If that's the case, I don't need to teach him about body fighting. I just need to teach him how to further strengthen his physical body."
"I! Want! You! To! Die!"
The brown bear monster went completely crazy, with fierce demonic aura emanating from its entire body.
A burst of reddish light shot up into the sky, like a pillar of light, piercing the clouds and scattering them.
The ground was even more suddenly shattered, with countless broken stones being ground to dust by the red light.
The red light was spreading and expanding at an alarming rate. In just a blink of an eye, it had spread out over a range of one mile. Anywhere it reached, the ground and mountain walls turned to ash. The most terrifying thing was that the red light showed no signs of stopping, continuing to spread rapidly outward.
The three demons watching the battle were terrified. It wasn't that they couldn't withstand the brown bear monster's demonic energy outbreak, but they feared that the brown bear monster would suddenly blast Chen Yun to nothingness!
Fortunately, Xie Ziran acted in time. She grabbed the air and stopped the brown bear monster's demonic energy from expanding beyond a one-mile range, preventing any further destruction.
But the more she did this, the more the brown bear monster's demonic energy condensed, releasing even more terrifying power.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The red light within its range kept exploding, creating deafening booms.
The three demons watching in horror discovered that not only had a portion of the mountain wall been blasted into powder by the red light, but the ground seemed to have been pounded out with huge holes. This was because they saw countless underground streams being hurled into the red light, then rapidly evaporating, turning into mist that permeated the valley.
Such terrifying power, could he not be blown into pieces?
The three demons were so scared that their faces turned white. They glanced secretly at Xie Ziran, but they saw that the Master Xie looked completely composed. It was unclear whether she wasn't worried about Chen Yun's safety or if she had discovered something.
The red light gradually dimmed.
Dust and mist still filled the air, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
The three demons had such good vision that they were not affected by the dust and mist. They immediately saw the situation.
It was better not to look.
Just as they looked, the three demons stared with wide eyes, looking shocked and unbelievable!
Chen Yun was blown up into the air, but except for his robes being blown away and his body showing some red spots where it was "burned", he had no injuries at all!
Such a fierce blow, and it couldn't harm even the slightest part of his body?
This... this boy's body, must be incredibly tough!
The three demons asked themselves, if they had faced the full might of the brown bear monster's strike head-on, they could not say they would not be injured.
But now, Chen Yun had really only suffered a bit of redness on his skin from the heat, with no other injuries at all!
They were incredibly shocked.
Little did they know that Chen Yun was even more shocked than them at this moment.
Not because of the terrifying demonic energy explosion from the brown bear monster that produced a powerful force and shocked him, but because during the red light attack just now, he felt his Dao Qi in his body rise rapidly, covering every inch of his body, not only neutralizing the power of the red light attack but also had a vague urge to break free from his body.
This had happened before and was not enough to shock Chen Yun too much.
What truly shocked Chen Yun was that after the Dao Qi covered his entire body, he could clearly feel that his muscles, skin, and bones seemed to have been strengthened all at once, as if something profound was about to happen and transform into another powerful form.
Just as he wanted to continue attacking the brown bear monster to fully trigger the Dao Qi through combat, something unexpected happened.
Xie Ziran suddenly called out, "Stop!"
The brown bear monster, who had just rushed out of the ground, stopped in mid-air at the sound of Xie Ziran's shout, and the blood red in its eyes gradually faded away.
Chen Yun also felt somewhat puzzled. He and the brown bear monster's battle had not yet determined a winner, so why did Xie Ziran suddenly shout to stop?
He knew there must be a reason, so he descended from the air and looked towards Xie Ziran with a puzzled expression.
Xie Ziran did not immediately explain, but simply said to the brown bear monster, "You lost, your elixir is gone."
The brown bear monster said, "I, the old bear, have not yet determined a winner with him. Why did you say that I lost to him, Master?"
The monkey demon looked extremely speechless and said, "Old bear, you can't even harm a single hair of this young Taoist with your demonic energy burst. What's the point in continuing to fight? You've lost if not."
The leopard demon cast a look of admiration towards Chen Yun, "Yes, this young Taoist has an incredibly strong physical body. You're not his match, old bear."
The rhinoceros demon's temperament seemed straightforward and fiery, saying, "You can't even harm this person with your demonic energy burst. If you keep fighting, aren't you just inviting them to kill and eat you?"
The three demons, being outsiders, knew that the brown bear monster had already put everything into its demonic energy burst. But even with such a powerful burst, it couldn't harm Chen Yun. This clearly meant that the brown bear monster had lost completely.
The brown bear monster, although very dissatisfied, knew that his three brothers were right and couldn't refute them. So he pompously said, "Young Taoist, we will find another opportunity to compete with you."
Chen Yun didn't take the brown bear monster's words seriously at all. Although he had just defended himself against the brown bear monster's demonic energy burst by using the power of Dao Qi, he could sense that even without the help of Dao Qi, he would only suffer minor burns from the intense heat of the brown bear monster's demonic energy burst and wouldn't be too severely injured.
Of course, without using true Qi and spiritual awareness, it would be very difficult for him to truly defeat the brown bear monster. The other party had an extremely strong defense, as was evident from the fact that despite delivering hundreds of punches, the brown bear monster hadn't sustained any damage.
It was obvious that although the other party's body was not as strong as the white ape's, it would be difficult to penetrate the other party's thick skin and tough flesh with physical attacks alone.
If he used the True Qi to perform the "Art of Slaying Dragons", it would be a different story. He could penetrate the "force" and cause some damage to the brown bear monster. Although it might not be much at first, continuous attacks would eventually lead to the other party's defeat.
Chen Yun could judge that without using yin spirit-like spells, he was only a little more powerful than the brown bear monster. If the four demons joined forces, he would definitely not be a match for them.
From the initial struggle to defeat Liu Huigui, to now being able to suppress a bear monster several levels stronger than him, he had grown so much.
Chen Yun felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he did not revel in his joy too much. Instead, his gaze kept shifting to Xie Ziran, puzzled as to why she had called the fight off.
He believed that Xie Ziran, as an extremely powerful Taoist cultivator, could definitely sense the rising Dao Qi in his body and the impending transformation. So why would she still call off the battle?
Chen Yun really couldn't understand it.
