"How is this possible? How could he be so powerful? Could it be that I underestimated him?"
As the number one genius of swordsmanship in the Central State and Qin Tian's twin brother, their personalities could be said to be completely different.
One could reason with people, discuss facts, and always appeared gentle and refined.
The other was savage and devious, refusing to reason and speaking only through strength, making him impossible to read.
Faced with this merciless strike, he sensed the danger of death and had no choice but to make a decision.
Ye Yang did not waste words with him, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. This was exactly the effect he wanted, and exactly the reason he needed.
With one invincible sword, who could stand against it? The two of them were fighting purely with the strength of their physical bodies, and at this point, the difference in their mental states was already clear.
"I told you, if you still don't bring out your strength, you may not have another chance. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Ye Yang's aura surged like a rainbow. He knew that continuing to struggle like this was pointless and meaningless. Now, he intended to beat his opponent into submission with his fists.
Once he had built up momentum, he naturally would not let this opportunity slip away. Every punch and every move struck flesh, brimming with tremendous might.
With a thunderous boom, before his opponent could react, that overwhelming force was already raging through his body, smashing into him.
It struck him head-on, sending him stumbling back over a hundred meters. Even after he came to a stop, his entire body felt terrible.
He had thought that using basic boxing techniques, he could trade injuries for injuries. Now, however, it seemed that had merely been wishful thinking.
Before he could explain or make any other move, his opponent had already proven it through action.
"Come on, let's hurt each other! Why aren't you saying anything? Why have you gone silent? Could it be that you're afraid?"
It was like playing chess: one wrong move led to mistakes at every turn. At this moment, he was in an extremely passive position, and the situation was utterly humiliating.
If he had not possessed enough treasures, and if his own strength had not been powerful enough, he would have already lost to this brat Ye Yang.
"What a perfect opportunity. Now!"
Ye Yang's aura soared like a rainbow. Looking down from above, he swung his fist and smashed it forward.
His entire body seemed to have been cast from gold, and powerful physical strength burst forth within him.
The Primordial Chaos Creation Art circulated frantically, while the Primordial Chaos Pagoda continuously refined the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Supreme Body was like a super carrier. With all three merged into one, although his cultivation was only at the Martial Master level and his opponent was two realms higher, who would emerge victorious was still unknown.
"Good boy, you really have something. I hadn't wanted things to reach this point, but it seems you're forcing me. Since that's the case, I'll satisfy your demand."
With a wet splurt, he had no choice but to use powerful strength to force that domineering energy out before doing anything else.
He had already made it perfectly clear: the two of them had fought until their tempers were inflamed. Neither could stand the other, so they could only let strength speak.
Powerful forces raged without end. The instant the two of them collided, this place had already become a forbidden zone.
"Can you stop wasting words? We'll only know whether it works after trying. We have to fight before we'll understand. What's the point of trading verbal barbs here? You're just spouting endless nonsense."
Ye Yang knew very well that if he fell behind, if he was no match for his opponent, he might have to pay for it with his life.
Having finally seized the initiative, he naturally would not let his opponent take it back. His entire body transformed into a streak of light and collided with the other man. He intended to use pure strength to crush him completely, crushing his confidence as well.
Wearing the Celestial Silk Armor, his defenses were extremely well-rounded. It could even withstand a full strike from a Martial Saint powerhouse, and at a critical moment, it could block a fatal blow from a Martial Emperor powerhouse.
A dangerous curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. This was exactly the effect he wanted, the very result he sought—to make his opponent understand the gap between them.
"Heh heh, I told you that you're no match for me. Why insist on overestimating yourself? What's the point?"
Ye Yang's attacks linked together, pressing in from every direction. This was exactly the effect he wanted, forcing his opponent into a desperate situation in one fell swoop!
"How is this possible? How exactly did he manage to do this?"
Ye Yang's fists came like a violent storm, each one carrying the power of landslides and tsunamis as they thundered toward his opponent.
"Brat, you forced me into this. Since that's the case, I won't hold back either."
Already trapped in a desperate situation, he nevertheless showed a flash of determination in his eyes at this moment of life and death.
"You forced me into this. I'll make you pay the price." It was as if some ancient power had awakened within him. Ancient totems faintly surfaced across his skin, flickering with a ghostly glow.
His figure suddenly accelerated. He actually weaved freely through the storm of Ye Yang's fists, dodging each strike with perfect timing, as though he had merged with the air.
"Come and accept the dance of death. Come and accept the feast of death."
His entire state changed in an instant. His defense, speed, and strength all received tremendous boosts, becoming worlds apart from before.
"Oh? You really are somewhat interesting. You have a few tricks up your sleeve. I just wonder how long you can maintain this state."
Ye Yang saw at a glance what his opponent had exchanged to achieve this transformation. He knew that surface-level compliments would have no effect, and that strength was still the only thing that mattered.
Ye Yang's fists struck empty air time and again, the resulting gusts of force ripping the surrounding air into tatters.
Suddenly, his opponent's figure halted, his entire body seemingly frozen in midair.
Immediately afterward, he formed hand seals with both hands and began chanting under his breath. A mysterious, ancient aura spread through the area.
"Interesting. It seems you finally couldn't hold back. You're finally going to use your super ultimate move. I couldn't ask for more, so hurry up. Let me see what you can do."
Ye Yang's heart jolted. He sensed an indescribable force brewing, as if it intended to overturn this entire heaven and earth.
The entire world seemed to have merged perfectly with him. At this moment, the man seemed to have ascended into the Heavenly Dao, perfectly controlling its power and preparing to bring down heavenly punishment to erase Ye Yang completely.
"Come and receive my punishment. Come and receive my guidance. Feel my might!"
Beneath the mask, that face had twisted completely. Such powerful strength was not something he could attempt lightly, but in order to teach this youth a lesson and destroy him, he had no choice but to take a dangerous gamble.
He had merged his body with the Heavenly Dao. With his strength, this could not be done by force. Although it was a special technique he cultivated, it was already producing obvious side effects at this moment.
"You're far too competitive. I told you not to be like this—we have to take things one step at a time. Now look at you. It's already too late to stop."
Ye Yang had long since seen through his opponent's scheme and understood what he had exchanged for this power. He knew that all he had to do was stall.
The longer he delayed, the more advantageous it would be for him. He did not need to attack. Once his opponent suffered the powerful backlash, he would injure himself, severely injure himself, and lose all ability to counterattack.
"Heavenly Punishment—Celestial Extermination!"
His words became law. Suddenly, the heavens and earth changed color, and the entire sky abruptly darkened.
