Clash

For a moment,

Golden-Eyed Leopard's massive body was sent flying. His feet stamped the ground with a series of thuds, leaving one pit after another,

Only after retreating eight or nine zhang did his figure finally come to a stop!

Everyone present drew in a slight breath at the sight.

The people from Huangshi Town who had originally been preparing to flee all stopped in their tracks.

"Golden-Eyed Leopard was kicked flying? Who is this young man?!"

"How is this possible!"

The scene before them was simply too shocking!

Among their group, Master Zhou Weilong of the famous Weilong Martial Arts School in Huangshi Town had been unable to leave even the slightest injury on his opponent despite putting all his strength into a single attack!

Instead, under Golden-Eyed Leopard's counterattack, he had been defeated in just two moves!

No one present could withstand even a single blow from him!

Under the opponent's fists, each as heavy as a thousand jun,

A mere graze meant injury, and a direct hit meant death!

The invincible, terrifying power he had displayed earlier had left an extremely deep impression in the hearts of everyone present!

Yet now,

That terrifying figure who had swept all before him had been stopped by a tiny figure!

After only two exchanges,

The overbearing and peerless Golden-Eyed Leopard had already been forced back!

Such a scene,

Had truly exceeded everyone's expectations!

Where had this young master come from?!

Compared with the shock of everyone around him,

Yang Qingyun was much calmer,

Paying no attention to the astonished gazes cast his way,

He felt a slight numbness in his hands and feet, knitted his brows faintly, and sank into thought.

"Just as I expected. With my current strength, having only just entered the realm, I might be able to suppress him by relying on the force-manipulation techniques I cultivated to the peak in my Previous Life."

"But if I want to break through his defenses and injure him, in the end, it is simply beyond my means!"

Yang Qingyun sighed inwardly and said this silently to himself.

Though Golden-Eyed Leopard had been suppressed the moment they exchanged blows, and had even been easily sent flying,

In reality,

His opponent had suffered no serious injury at all!

He had forced the other man back because, in that instant of their exchange, his insight and vision from the Viscera Refining Realm in his Previous Life had allowed him to easily find the weak point in his opponent's strength.

Using the force-manipulation techniques he had cultivated to the peak in his Previous Life, he had concentrated one part of force to unleash ten parts of effect!

But trying to break through a Viscera Refining Realm master's Bronze Skin Iron Bone defenses was ultimately asking too much.

That also meant,

To defeat his opponent in battle,

He would have to exhaust the opponent's Qi and Blood through a drawn-out fight,

Or use his extreme control to strike the same weak point repeatedly, thereby breaking through his body's defenses.

But either method,

Clearly required quite a bit of time.

What a nuisance.

"What kind of demonic technique is this?! I don't believe it!"

Golden-Eyed Leopard, who had been forced back, wore an incredulous expression. Then his eyes reddened, fury climbed across his face, and madness appeared in his gaze.

White mist faintly spurted from his nostrils, while scorching breath was exhaled and inhaled between his mouth and nose!

"Hm?"

At this sight, Yang Qingyun's gaze sharpened.

Relying on the knowledge from his Previous Life, he saw the strange aspect of his opponent at a glance and quickly determined which Cultivation Technique the man practiced.

"The Savage Bull Art?"

Yang Qingyun said inwardly.

The Savage Bull Art was considered a rather unorthodox inner Cultivation Technique. It seemed to have been passed down from the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect, and few people cultivated it.

That was because this Cultivation Technique excelled at increasing a martial artist's physical strength.

But because of the Qi circulating the heart fire, those who cultivated it would grow increasingly irritable in temperament.

Just like Golden-Eyed Leopard before him!

Now, after the successive killings and battles, his opponent's reason had already been overwhelmed by his violent emotions!

"Come and die!"

Golden-Eyed Leopard roared furiously. Muscles bulged all over his body, veins surfacing beneath them. His entire body flushed red, and blood-colored steam seemed almost ready to rise from him!

Under the immense pressure, the ground split apart again and again!

The air itself was compressed, producing visible waves that swept in all directions!

A terrifying pressure,

Filled the surrounding void and left everyone suffocating!

Their feet retreated involuntarily, frightened by such a terrifying display!

"So this is what the legendary Viscera Refining Realm masters are like? They're actually this terrifying!"

"Exactly. I heard that once someone reaches the Viscera Refining Realm, they can circulate Qi and Blood and temper their flesh and bones, making their bodies nearly impervious to blades and swords! Before such a person, an army of ordinary people can barely pose any threat!"

"I heard that a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist's fist strength alone exceeds thirty thousand jin. It's simply terrifying!"

"Who would have thought that the leader of the Black Wind Bandits, who had been ruling the countryside like a king, had also entered the Viscera Refining Realm? Throughout all of Huangshi Town, there are fewer than five people capable of reaching this level! Master Zhou can crush blades and swords with one hand, but even he is only halfway into the Viscera Refining Realm."

Thirty thousand jin of fist strength, combined with a body tempered to be like Bronze Skin Iron Bone,

With a single punch,

Could smash through not only stone, but even a block of iron!

And now that Golden-Eyed Leopard had erupted with his power, it would only be even greater!

That terrifying aura

Made everyone watching from the side tremble with fear!

Almost at the same instant,

Golden-Eyed Leopard tensed his strength to its limit. His palm, as large as a cushion, spread open and clenched into a fist!

Bang!

With a tremendous boom,

At this moment, he seemed to transform into a human tyrannosaur and erupted violently!

A terrifying afterimage charged forward, shattering the ground. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the eight or nine zhang between them and arrived before Yang Qingyun almost instantaneously!

At the same time,

His fist turned into a drill that soared into the heavens, tearing through the air and carrying terrifying power as it abruptly blasted toward Yang Qingyun!

Its horrifying momentum shattered the vacuum, making the air release a sharp, piercing shriek!

Faced with this terrifying attack,

Yang Qingyun's expression also turned solemn!

Without a doubt, if he were struck by this punch, it would probably blast a huge hole straight through him on the spot!

Having mastered the use of peak force techniques in his Previous Life, he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained beneath the fierce wind rushing toward his face!

But,

Beneath this overwhelmingly powerful killing move, Yang Qingyun did not panic.

He had his own confidence.

Greater strength was indeed stronger,

But if the attack could not hit, it was meaningless all the same.

Without reason to control it, in the end, all that remained was helplessly swinging one's fists.

Yang Qingyun's figure sprang backward, soaring away like wind sweeping away clouds, avoiding the sharpest edge of Golden-Eyed Leopard's punch.

Almost at the same time, the long saber at his waist spun rapidly in his hand, transforming into a string of afterimages. He thrust out fiercely, breaking through the air in midair, and struck several acupoints on Golden-Eyed Leopard's arm with lightning speed!

Bang bang bang!

One tiny yet extremely concentrated force after another pierced through the scabbard like needlepoints, entering various parts of Golden-Eyed Leopard's body!

The next moment,

Hiss!

As Golden-Eyed Leopard charged forward at full speed, the Qi and Blood behind his fist suddenly leaked away!

At that instant, Golden-Eyed Leopard felt the frustration of pouring all his strength into a punch only to strike a mass of cotton!

But this undoubtedly made the already furious Golden-Eyed Leopard even more enraged!

"Die!!!"

Golden-Eyed Leopard roared furiously, his voice exploding like thunder!

The massive Qi and Blood of the Viscera Refining Realm erupted with force. That arm suddenly swelled, its veins bulging as blood-red color spread across it. It forcibly broke through the seal of Yang Qingyun's force at that instant and once again erupted with terrifying power!

Bang bang bang!!!

Golden-Eyed Leopard swung punch after punch. Each fist was as heavy as a thousand jun, sweeping through the air in a string of afterimages and seemingly bringing with it a violent storm of attacks, crashing toward Yang Qingyun like a tsunami and a raging flood!

Yang Qingyun's mind remained calm,

His figure retreated repeatedly, his feet dodging and shifting.

At the same time, the long saber in his hand, still sheathed, swung out in succession. At every ingenious moment, he either dodged Golden-Eyed Leopard's fists or used the sheathed saber to block or deflect his attacks!

Boom boom boom!!!

Amid the continuous muffled impacts, waves of sharp force surged in all directions, whipping up gusts of wind and forcing everyone nearby to retreat again and again.

Yet beneath this flurry of attacks like a violent storm,

Yang Qingyun's figure was like a reef amid raging winds and towering waves, moving with ease and standing firm as a rock!
