Two figures in the arena collided one after another,
The ground trembled faintly beneath their collisions, while the fierce shockwaves from their exchanges swept out like a flood, kicking up waves of dust and air currents!
Everyone present had no choice but to retreat again, widening the distance,
so that the clash between the two would not ultimately reach them!
The aftermath of their battle—the mere wind stirred by their fists—already caused a stinging sensation across the skin!
Everyone present watched scene after scene of the battle,
and all of them wore expressions of horrified disbelief!
Earlier, Golden-Eyed Leopard's overbearing, unmatched fists had left a deep impression on everyone's mind!
But Yang Qingyun, who could now maneuver against him without falling behind in the slightest, and even faintly suppress him, shocked everyone beyond belief!
"Who is that boy? He can actually withstand Golden-Eyed Leopard's attacks! Could he be a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist too? How can there be such a young Viscera Refining Realm martial artist in this world?"
"Most likely! If he weren't in the Viscera Refining Realm, how could he possibly contend with Golden-Eyed Leopard's strength?!"
"That person looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet he possesses such terrifying strength. He's truly frightening! Speaking of which, how exactly did he cultivate? You have to understand, there are no more than five Viscera Refining Realm martial artists in all of Huangshi Town, and every one of them is over thirty or forty years old!"
"He's probably a prodigy traveling from the outside world. He couldn't stand Golden-Eyed Leopard's brutality and stepped in to uphold justice!"
"That makes sense. Huangshi Town is too remote, tucked away in a distant corner of the Southern Wilderness. Any slightly more prosperous region is far from here. Barren lands struggle to produce geniuses, but in the outside world, there are quite a few people who reach the Viscera Refining Realm at fourteen or fifteen!"
"Even so, a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist of fourteen or fifteen would still be considered a genius in the outside world!"
The people surrounding them chattered among themselves, some sighing in admiration.
In a place like Huangshi Town, Viscera Refining Realm martial artists were already at the peak.
They were fully capable of ruling the roost here.
Judging from Yang Qingyun's performance, he had already reached a realm that many martial artists here could not attain even after exhausting their entire lives!
"No! This young hero is not a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist!"
Just then,
a voice rang out, drawing the surrounding people's gazes over.
It was none other than Zhou Weilong, who was being supported by disciples of the Weilong Martial Arts School nearby!
At this moment, Zhou Weilong stared fixedly at the two people fighting in the arena, his eyes filled with incomprehensible disbelief!
"This young hero is only at the Martial Arts Entry Realm level. He likely hasn't even surpassed the mid-Entry Realm!"
As a martial artist who had half a foot into the Viscera Refining Realm,
positioned between the Martial Arts Entry Realm and the Viscera Refining Realm,
Zhou Weilong understood the difference between these two realms far more clearly than the others!
Whether it was the aura raised by Yang Qingyun's attacks or the shape and muscles of his body, he was plainly not a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist!
In fact,
he was not even in the Late Entering the Realm stage!
Thus, Zhou Weilong spoke with absolute certainty.
"What?! Master Zhou, are you sure?!"
"No way! If he isn't even in the Late Entering the Realm stage, how did he withstand Golden-Eyed Leopard's terrifying attacks?"
"Impossible! A Viscera Refining Realm martial artist's punching force exceeds thirty thousand jin, while a mid-Entry Realm martial artist only has three to five thousand jin. With a tenfold difference in strength, how could he possibly withstand it?!"
The people around them voiced their doubts one after another.
But Zhou Weilong said nothing and offered no explanation.
He stared fixedly at the battle in the arena, unwilling to miss even the slightest detail!
Although his realm was not high and his horizons were not broad,
he could still sense it,
that every move Yang Qingyun made and every block he used was clean and decisive. He wasted not the slightest bit of Qi and Blood power, using every ounce of strength to its utmost!
By exploiting strength to its absolute limit and striking Golden-Eyed Leopard's weak points with precision again and again, he reduced the ten parts of strength Golden-Eyed Leopard unleashed to barely one part of actual effect!
This supreme application of technique and strength allowed the young man, despite possessing only early to mid-Entry Realm cultivation, to cross an entire major realm and clash with a Viscera Refining Realm expert without losing!
And this,
also broadened Zhou Weilong's horizons greatly!
It was as if he had glimpsed the peak of the Martial Dao ahead!
Turbulent waves surged through his heart!
At the same time,
in the arena,
Yang Qingyun slapped aside Golden-Eyed Leopard's incoming fist. His figure flashed to the side, avoiding the remaining force of the punch, and he kicked out, striking the joint of Golden-Eyed Leopard's knee,
After this series of moves, Golden-Eyed Leopard staggered, his center exposed!
Then,
Yang Qingyun drove out a fist, aimed straight at the opening, and struck Golden-Eyed Leopard's exposed weakness head-on!
Bang!
The force of the punch exploded. Golden-Eyed Leopard's burly body staggered backward with heavy thuds before flying backward once more!
But at this moment,
Yang Qingyun, who had knocked Golden-Eyed Leopard back, showed no joy on his face. Instead, he sighed.
"As expected, the gap between realms isn't so easy to cross!"
"Perhaps I can easily find his openings and strike him, and dodge his attacks with ease, but my Qi and Blood power is insufficient. Even if I hit him, I can't break through his defenses."
"If not for the endless Qi and Blood and recovery ability brought by the Longevity Technique, supplemented by the unobstructed meridians after the Blood Qi Pill refined my aptitude, I would probably have been dragged to death once the battle continued for long!"
"Fortunately, there is no 'if.' Thanks to the solid foundation I forged, Golden-Eyed Leopard has instead become my whetstone, allowing me to grasp the strength I regained through retraining more quickly!"
As they exchanged blows, Yang Qingyun felt his control over his strength rapidly improving. The various applications of force were merging together, and he was swiftly reclaiming the peak techniques of his Previous Life.
A hint of delight also rose in Yang Qingyun's heart.
This was indeed his opportunity. He had obtained a Thousand-Year Ginseng in Wang Family Village, laying an exceptionally solid foundation for himself and giving him enough capital to use Golden-Eyed Leopard as a whetstone for tempering himself.
The longer they fought,
the more at ease he became!
Clearly, throughout the battle, Yang Qingyun, who had retrained, was constantly improving and rapidly gaining further control over his own strength!
Zhou Weilong saw all of this, and turbulent waves surged through his heart!
By comparison,
the longer the battle dragged on, the more Golden-Eyed Leopard fell into a disadvantage.
He was gradually suppressed!
The suffocating feeling of going all out only to have nine-tenths of his strength forced back finally drove Golden-Eyed Leopard's fury to its limit!
Until, at a certain moment,
Golden-Eyed Leopard, who had been unable to defeat his opponent for so long, finally erupted completely!
"Ah! You damned rat who only knows how to scurry around! Do you dare to fight me head-on?!"
"I'll crush you into paste with one punch!"
"Explosive Qi Method!"
Golden-Eyed Leopard's eyes were bloodshot, and the raging fury in his chest had already robbed him of his reason.
Accompanied by his furious roar,
his aura suddenly surged at this moment!
He had disregarded the consequences and used some desperate secret technique that stimulated his Qi and Blood!
At this moment, a visible wave of air suddenly swept through the atmosphere!
A terrifying presence thundered outward!
And this scene,
instantly put Yang Qingyun on alert!
He swiftly reined in every thought of tempering himself!
Danger!
At this moment, Golden-Eyed Leopard gave Yang Qingyun an extraordinarily terrifying sense of danger!
Technique could erase many differences,
but if one possessed absolute strength, technique would ultimately be crushed beneath it!
And now,
Golden-Eyed Leopard, who had activated that Qi Burst Secret Technique, possessed strength that had already surpassed the limit Yang Qingyun could withstand!
"Savage Bull Charges the Heavens!"
Boom!!!
Yang Qingyun had no time to think. Golden-Eyed Leopard, who had burned everything and erupted with terrifyingly immense power, was already charging straight at him like a speeding heavy truck, shattering the ground beneath his feet!
Under the utmost burning and eruption, not only had his strength doubled, but his speed had surged as well!
There was no way to dodge!
At this moment,
Yang Qingyun sensed the approach of death!
"Madman!"
Yang Qingyun's expression turned solemn. A method that dramatically increased one's strength through explosive force surely came at a steep price. It was practically a desperate move that killed a thousand enemies while injuring eight hundred of one's own!
But Golden-Eyed Leopard had still used it!
All that could be said was that the backlash of the Savage Bull Art was too severe,
and the frustration of the earlier battle had only added fuel to the flames!
This move,
he could not withstand,
nor could he dodge!
The greatest crisis since his rebirth had arrived!
But Yang Qingyun did not panic. The long saber that had remained in its sheath finally left it at this moment!
This was also the ultimate trump card he had cultivated before setting out, to ensure that everything went smoothly!
The blade was drawn,
and white light flared,
like lightning illuminating heaven and earth!
Like a bright moon,
high above the nine heavens!
Boom!!!
In that instant, Golden-Eyed Leopard, who came charging with terrifying force, felt an overwhelming might, like a tsunami and raging flood, sweeping toward him!
At this moment, he felt as if he were a tiny boat caught in a raging storm,
instantly overturned by the fierce winds and colossal waves,
and completely drowned!
Golden-Eyed Leopard's figure abruptly halted, frozen not far in front of Yang Qingyun. The furious aura surrounding him had already leaked away completely.
"What a fine blade..."
He lowered his voice and uttered those two words.
Then,
a line of blood split open from the center of his head. His body was divided into two halves and fell to the ground.
He had completely lost all signs of life.
Not far away,
the long saber in Yang Qingyun's hand, which had been drawn moments earlier, had already shattered.
He stood where he was,
his face slightly pale, breathing heavily.
Ah, my stockpiled chapters have officially been wiped out!
