"Kid, you've got guts. I like you!"
The man gave him a deep look, then no longer hesitated. He simply threw a punch through the air.
"Boom!"
In that instant, the air through which the force of the punch passed seemed to catch fire, radiating scorching heat and roaring nonstop all the way through. It was a truly spectacular sight!
"Kid, be careful!"
Half an hour had already passed. As the sect master, Ye Wudi had watched everything unfold from outside, yet he was powerless to do anything. He was extremely worried.
"Little Ye, don't be anxious. This kid is far from simple. To make it easier for you to see what's happening, wait a moment."
"That's right. Back when you two competed as heavenly prides, I never saw you this nervous. No wonder you care so much about this kid."
"Two Old Ancestors, that's not what I meant. I just want to make sure no one gets hurt by accident. That would be troublesome." Ye Wudi was not worried that Ye Yang would be injured. He was worried that someone else would be injured by him. Unfortunately, the two Old Ancestors had already misunderstood him.
"What? Are you worried about him? There's no need. That kid has plenty of trump cards and formidable strength. Of course, his life won't be in danger."
"That's right. With the two of us here, what are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Just watch honestly. Oh, right—you still can't see?"
To make it easier for him to see what was happening inside, the two Old Ancestors specially brought out a mirror-like magical treasure.
"Two Old Ancestors, that's not what I meant!"
Ye Wudi had just wanted to explain himself to the two of them when he was directly interrupted.
"Enough. I know what you mean. Watch for yourself."
With a wave of his hand, an ancient mirror appeared before him. Runes flowed across its surface, radiating unusual fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
"Quick, look! That kid's still alive!" Everything inside could be projected through this mirror-like magical treasure, allowing him to see it clearly.
"Wait. Four Symbols Unification? Could this have completely unleashed its power?"
He had been focused on that point just now and had completely forgotten about this. He could not help but grow deeply worried.
"Kid, I can't help you either. You'll have to pray for your own luck."
Four Symbols Unification was the strongest state of the legendary Four Symbols Subduing Demons Formation—the Demon Subduing Heavenly General.
It could advance to attack and retreat to defend, combining offense and defense without a single flaw. Back then, even just one of them had left him in a sorry state. Now that all four had merged into one, its power had increased by hundreds or thousands of times.
This immediately left him in an awkward predicament. He had thought that the Old Ancestors were merely telling him to relax and that this was just a simple test. He had never expected things to develop beyond his imagination.
"Boom!"
The two men's fists and feet collided directly, producing a world-shaking roar.
Clack, clack, clack...
The man formed from the Four Symbols Subduing Demons Formation retreated more than a dozen steps in a row before finally stopping.
A long mark had been left beneath his feet, exceptionally conspicuous and eye-catching within this special barrier.
"Sure enough, that packed a punch. Sure enough, that was outrageous. Again!" Ye Yang was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, he became excited.
One Punch Unrivaled. At this moment, his Supreme Body had undergone pure tempering. The moment that powerful force entered his body, the Primordial Chaos Pagoda had already refined it and converted it into nourishment for him.
His opponent had retreated more than a dozen steps in succession, while he had not moved an inch. The difference in strength was obvious—who was stronger and who was more powerful was clear at a glance.
"How is it? How does it feel?"
A wild, arrogant smile curled up at the corners of Ye Yang's lips, while blazing light flickered in his eyes, as if that exchange had merely been a warm-up.
"Kid, don't get so cocky. I was merely caught off guard. Next, endure my fury!"
With a muffled shout, he forcibly dispelled the powerful force wreaking havoc inside his body. Even so, this was still not enough!
"Is that so? Looks like you're just a stubborn dead duck, completely unable to recognize your own situation."
Ye Yang's punch seemed unremarkable and light, but he had already secretly planted a little trick within it.
"Wait. What kind of technique is this?"
Just as he was about to gather his strength and erupt, he found that his power had been affected ever so slightly. His smoothly circulating body had also developed the slightest slackness and pause.
"What is it? Is something feeling a little off with your body? Is it just a tiny bit disobedient?"
Ye Yang was not afraid. Instead, his momentum surged like a rainbow. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations surrounding his body grew increasingly intense, like blazing flames in a gale, impossible to restrain.
"Refreshing! This feeling is as if I can resonate with heaven and earth. Every punch contains the power to split heaven and earth apart!"
His words echoed through the air. Accompanied by thunderous roars, he charged at the man formed from the Four Symbols Subduing Demons Formation once more!
"Again. Let me experience your strength."
Ye Yang let out a long howl. His fists flashed like shadows, his punches roared like dragons, and every blow carried the power to tear space apart!
"Crack!"
Wherever the force of his punches passed, even gods and Buddhas could not stand in its way. The surrounding air was ripped into shreds, creating a breathtaking sight, as if the entire world were trembling at that very moment.
"Good kid, you really have it in you. I never expected the Ye Household's most basic Mountain Shattering Fist to display such power in your hands."
Ye Wudi had thought that Ye Yang had suffered inhuman torment in the forbidden land. Now, however, it seemed that this had merely been his wishful thinking. That kid looked extremely bedraggled, but his actual condition was excellent.
Pressing forward step by step and forcing him back at every turn, he had already beaten the Demon Subduing Heavenly General into retreat after retreat. It had long since lost the momentum with which it had relentlessly attacked before, and could only defend blindly, having lost the ability to counterattack.
"Our generation must strive to make itself strong. I told you, you're not my opponent. Retreat now."
He leaped high into the air and smashed down viciously, directly forcing the Demon Subduing Heavenly General back dozens, even hundreds, of meters. Then he looked at it calmly.
The attack seemed utterly ordinary and tranquil, but every punch had already matched one of the opponent's acupoints. With just a few more strikes, he would be able to make the other side collapse on the spot!
Taking the enemy by surprise and striking where it was unprepared, he had achieved suddenness without the opponent noticing. Unfortunately, he had encountered Ye Yang, a freak-like existence.
"Eight Desolations and Six Directions, Boundless Mountain Shattering!"
Ye Yang sank his breath into his dantian, stilled his mind, and united his energy and defense. His entire body entered a special state.
In the brief span of one second, he had already gathered his momentum and perfectly completed the execution of his ultimate move.
"Die!"
With a thunderous boom, the man opposite him collapsed on the spot and could no longer stand.
"Why did this happen?" His eyes were filled with unwillingness and reluctance!
At the same time, his body was covered in cracks. With a cracking sound, it shattered directly.
"No way. That kid cleared it so quickly?"
The two Old Ancestors simply could not believe their eyes. Right before them, they had applied extreme pressure in hopes of making him retreat in the face of difficulty. Instead, his methods had emerged one after another, and Ye Yang had forcefully slain him!
