Breath...
The wind rose, stirring their garments and creating a rustling sound. The two focused intently on each other, each determined to keep their gaze locked.
Wu Tianci was contemplating how to strike decisively against Ye Tian. Otherwise, given Ye Tian's Yuqi Tayan Jue, killing him would likely require waiting until he was completely exhausted and unable to channel his energy. That situation could drag on until tomorrow night, and by then, if Cold Boyuan arrived, the situation would become dire.
On the other hand, Ye Tian's thoughts were much simpler. Given Wu Xiaozhuang's tragic death, if Wu Tianci could remain calm, then aside from insulting the deceased Wu Xiaozhuang, there was little else that could provoke him further. However, Ye Tian looked down on such tactics.
Since provoking Wu Tianci to find a flaw had proven ineffective, Ye Tian realized he had only one path left to take.
"Wu Tianci! Prepare to die!"
Ye Tian roared as he launched himself forward first. The path he chose was to confront Wu Tianci head-on.
This caught Wu Tianci slightly off guard, but he quickly revealed a pleased expression. He never expected that the problem he had been struggling with would be resolved by Ye Tian himself. A direct confrontation? For Wu Tianci, a Martial Mastery practitioner, this was like a pie falling from the sky.
"Haha! Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!" Wu Tianci laughed arrogantly as he unleashed his Raging Fire Shattering Fist once more. Flames surged upward as an intense wave of heat swept through the air.
Ye Tian's pupils constricted; even his skin felt a hint of heat. Yet his gaze remained fearless. With the sound of Thunder Burst echoing, the Bagua Thunder Palm erupted forth, electric light flashing alongside a faint blue glow as it charged toward Wu Tianci.
In this head-on clash, while life and death would not be determined immediately, after this exchange, there would surely be a clear distinction between who was superior.
Bang!
As their fists collided, blue light and flames flashed wildly. With a deafening crash that could shatter eardrums, a powerful shockwave surged outward, causing even the distant trees and lake surface to tremble.
"Ugh!"
"Hiss..."
Under such a fierce blow, both men let out muffled groans before retreating far apart.
After retreating for ten paces, Ye Tian finally came to a stop. A burning pain surged through his palm, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed that his entire hand had turned a deep red, with lingering warmth still felt in his arm and face.
In contrast, Wu Tianci had been pushed back much farther than ten paces. His entire arm was trembling violently, and his face was ashen. It was unclear whether this was due to pain or shock.
"How is this possible..." Wu Tianci gritted his teeth and pressed down on his trembling arm with his other hand, looking at Ye Tian with disbelief and horror.
Wu Tianci's astonishment was not without reason. His previous punch had been powered by Martial Origin Power, and given that Raging Fire Shattering Fist was an aggressive martial art, he expected Ye Tian to have at least sustained some injury to his arm. However, the reality was quite the opposite; Ye Tian appeared completely unharmed and had retreated a significantly shorter distance than Wu Tianci. The only explanation for this situation was that in their clash, Ye Tian had outmatched Wu Tianci in terms of energy, martial skills, and physical endurance.
"How is this possible!" Wu Tianci exclaimed in disbelief, voicing the thoughts that had been racing through his mind.
In terms of energy, how could his Martial Mastery-level Martial Origin Power be inferior to that of a mere Eighth-Dan Warrior?
When it came to physical endurance, the difference was even more pronounced!
As for martial arts, both Bagua Thunder Palm and Raging Fire Shattering Fist were classified as Yellow Rank Nine; why did his arm feel numb and unresponsive while Ye Tian seemed largely unaffected?
What could explain all of this? Why was Ye Tian able to gain the upper hand in this direct confrontation?
Wu Tianci's mind was filled with frustration; he wanted nothing more than to pull Ye Tian over and demand answers.
Of course, this intense feeling was more than just frustration. Previously, Ye Tian had relied on Yuqi Tayan Technique to avoid a direct clash with Wu Tianci, so the latter had been eager to find an opportunity to strike decisively. Yet now that such an opportunity had arisen, it was not Ye Tian who found himself at a disadvantage! This situation had left Wu Tianci with a profound sense of defeat.
Looking down at his palm, Ye Tian marveled inwardly: "The combination of spiritual energy and martial energy is surprisingly strong—perhaps even surpassing Martial Origin Power..."
This was something he had never anticipated. In his expectations, simply being able to withstand Wu Tianci's strike would have sufficed; he hadn't expected that spiritual energy would provide him with such an unexpected advantage, allowing him to overpower the latter.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian felt a sense of calm settle over him. If things continued like this, defeating Wu Tianci would undoubtedly be the outcome.
Taking a deep breath, he channeled Spirit Energy into his arm, dispelling the burning sensation entirely before turning his gaze toward Wu Tianci and stepping forward confidently.
“Wu Tianci, surrender!” With a cold tone, Ye Tian approached Wu Tianci with an imposing presence, blue electric light flickering in his palm as the Bagua Thunder Palm was ready to strike.
Faced with Ye Tian's confident demeanor, Wu Tianci's lips curled into a wild grin, his eyes bloodshot and his voice suddenly hoarse as he rasped, “Ye Tian, do you really think this can defeat me? Heh, you’re going to be disappointed.”
Ye Tian noticed the unusual change in Wu Tianci, whose pupils slightly constricted. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this before but could not recall the full picture.
“Hahahaha!”
Wu Tianci suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, his fingers curling into claws, revealing bulging veins beneath his skin. His bloodshot eyes had quietly turned a deep red.
“Wu Tianci, are you one of the Blood Sect?!” Ye Tianjing asked in shock, as Wu Tianci's transformation reminded him of the terrifying appearance of the Black-Clad Man.
“Heh heh, Ye Tian, being pushed to this point by you is both your fortune and your misfortune!”
The low, hoarse voice echoed in Ye Tian's ears, causing him to shiver involuntarily. It sounded as if it came from something beyond this world, something more terrifying than hellish demons.
“Ye Tian, your fortune lies in witnessing this formidable power firsthand, while your misfortune is that after witnessing it, your life will come to an end!” Wu Tianci's blood-red eyes emitted a faint crimson glow as he fixed his demonic gaze on Ye Tian and spoke ominously.
“Wu Tianci, you should keep that devilish thing for hell along with Wu Xiaozhuang!” Ye Tian's voice rang out sharply and powerfully. As he spoke, he charged forward with the Bagua Thunder Palm infused with Spirit Energy, radiating a heart-stirring brilliance.
“Heh heh...” Facing Ye Tian's sudden assault, Wu Tianci smiled sinisterly while performing strange hand gestures as if activating some kind of magical formation.
Zzzz...
A tearing sound echoed through the air. Moments later, a Black Disc appeared before Wu Tianci. With a loud bang from above it, a giant blood-red eye opened.
“Black Fiend Soul? You dare to flaunt such petty tricks?” Upon seeing this scene, Ye Tian felt relieved. He had learned the weakness of the Black Fiend Soul during his previous confrontation with Wu Xiaozhuang at Peach Willow Grove. Although powerful, its attacks were slow and only effective in narrow spaces. The vastness of the lakeside was the opposite of that environment; hence Wu Xiaozhuang had not used this technique back then. Now that Wu Tianci was employing it, whether it was desperation or reliance on it remained uncertain.
Regardless of Wu Tianci's reasons, this situation was undoubtedly advantageous for Ye Tian.
“Wu Tianci! Die!”
Underfoot, the Spirit Swallow Transformation activated, and Ye Tian's figure leaped ten zhang, instantly appearing before Wu Tianci. Without hesitation, he struck towards the Black Fiend Soul with a palm.
"Hehehe, ignorant child, today I will show you the true power of the Black Fiend!"
As he spoke, with Wu Tianci's Shadow of the Palm dancing, a Light Barrier suddenly formed above the Black Disc. It not only enveloped his entire body but also continuously expanded outward, reaching several zhang in square area in the blink of an eye.
"Could there be something unusual..." Ye Tian thought to himself, slightly puzzled. However, he still pressed forward with his Thunder Palm towards the Black Light Screen without hesitation.
Bang!
As the Bagua Thunder Palm struck the Black Light Screen, a loud sound echoed abruptly. Immediately after, a tremendous force of recoil surged into his arm. Ye Tian felt an overwhelming power rushing in, pressing against his heart.
Under such immense force, Ye Tian not only felt numbness in his arm but also experienced a sudden stagnation in his breath. Sensing this anomaly, he quickly mobilized his Yuan Power to protect his heart. With a muffled sound from his chest, he was sent flying backward, feeling as if something had exploded within him, causing intense pain.
Bang...
After being propelled back for five zhang, Ye Tian finally crashed heavily to the ground. Due to the impact, he didn't even have the chance to activate Yuqi Tayan Jue. If he hadn't decisively redirected his Yuan Power to protect his heart just now, the outcome would have been far more severe.
"Is it really this strong?!"
Ye Tian clutched his violently rising chest, astonishment reflected in his eyes. His Thunder Palm, under the urging of Spirit Energy, was undoubtedly beyond Earth Level One. Yet when it struck the Black Light Screen, not only did it fail to inflict any damage, but it also rebounded him back. This formidable defensive power was truly hard to believe.
