Heavenly Ape Fist, Crushing!

Chu Yang clenched his fists, his eyes glaring fiercely at Xia Wuji.

From the very first day of the Azure Star Academy assessment, all the glory that originally belonged to him had been stolen by Xia Wuji.

In the first test of character, he had activated the green light from the pressure stone tablet, but Xia Wuji's purple light had soared into the sky.

In the second test of comprehension, he had used his connections with the Great Chu Imperial Family to learn the assessment content in advance, thus condensing thirty-eight Essence Flowers. However, Xia Wuji had directly condensed ninety-nine Essence Flowers.

In this third practical combat assessment, he had also obtained some information beforehand and was prepared. He had intended to show off and steal the spotlight, but then he learned that his younger brother, Chu Jue, had died at Xia Wuji's hands!

For the past few days, he had captured Huang Hu and Xu Lan, trying to force Xia Wuji out. Every moment, he had imagined how he would torture and kill Xia Wuji in his mind.

But Xia Wuji had not appeared for a long time.

He had even planned to give up for now, continue hunting Rock-Swallowing Behemoths, and find an opportunity to deal with Xia Wuji after the assessment. It was at this critical juncture that Xia Wuji arrived!

Xia Wuji held the Jinghong Sword and looked at Chu Yang. Killing intent and cold light filled his eyes. He pointed his sword and said, "If you want to settle accounts and get revenge, I'll see it through to the end."

"If you had come honorably, perhaps I would have given you a quick end."

"But now, I will also let you know what it feels like to be strung up and wish you were dead!"

Chu Yang sneered, "Xia Wuji, you have no right to be arrogant in front of me. You killed my brother and challenged the majesty of our Great Chu Imperial Family. You will immediately pay a heavy price for this!"

With a roar, Chu Yang suddenly punched out across the air.

His cultivation at the eighth level of the Primal Energy Realm erupted with powerful Essence Power, condensing into a massive fist imprint.

The fist imprint broke through the air, rumbling and crushing towards Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji swept his sword up.

True Sun Swordplay!

Sword light like fire, sharpness bursting forth!

Now, Xia Wuji no longer needed to worry about the strength of his Sword Seed and could enter the Man-Sword Unity state at any time.

In an instant, Chu Yang's incoming fist imprint was directly split open by Xia Wuji's sword.

A wave of energy surged violently.

The two simultaneously charged towards each other.

Chu Yang's fists were already covered with first-grade low-tier Spirit Artifact level gauntlets. The silver gauntlets emitted dazzling, brilliant light, and the wind from his fists whistled, his punches powerful and fierce.

Xia Wuji unleashed a move, "Great Sun in the Sky." Within his sword's edge, it was as if a blazing sun hung, completely suppressing Chu Yang's fist light.

"Mountain Collapse!"

Chu Yang roared and punched out with the power to collapse mountains and crack the earth. His fist force violently collided with the great sun within Xia Wuji's sword edge.

"Boom!"

Chu Yang's body was immediately sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

Xia Wuji's sword moves changed, and streaks of Flame Sword Qi howled out.

Chu Yang's expression changed drastically. He forcibly stabilized his body, rapidly formed hand seals, and surging Essence Power erupted from within him. Then, he pressed his hand seals towards the ground.

The ground beneath his feet immediately churned with earth and stone, rising to form a thick wall of earth and stone. However, it was still shattered into pieces by Xia Wuji's Flame Sword Qi.

Chu Yang, however, seized this opportunity to gain a moment of respite, leaping backward and creating a significant distance.

A look of solemnity appeared on his face.

Nearby, many people were attracted by the commotion and rushed over. Their eyes widened, and their hearts were shaken by the scene before them.

"This Xia Wuji actually came to save Huang Hu and Xu Lan..."

"The key is, how is he so powerful? His Essence Power shows no trace of the Primal Energy Realm, yet the Sixth Prince is at the eighth level of the Primal Energy Realm and can even kill a Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoth alone. But just now, the Sixth Prince was actually at a disadvantage!"

"What a formidable Xia Wuji. He is constantly exuding a sharp and imposing aura..."

Exclamations arose.

This scene was truly unbelievable.

Xia Wuji, who had not reached the Primal Energy Realm, was fighting head-on with Chu Yang, who was at the eighth level of the Primal Energy Realm. And Chu Yang was not just a showy fighter with empty cultivation; he was a genuine combat-oriented martial artist!

"Xia Wuji, don't get cocky too soon!" Chu Yang roared. He took a deep breath, and his aura surged, Essence Power raging. He actually condensed a phantom image of a giant ape several zhang tall.

"Heavenly Ape Fist!"

"This is the Great Chu Imperial Family's ultimate secret technique, a Mid-grade Profound Tier fist art!"

"The Sixth Prince truly lives up to his reputation as a martial arts prodigy. He can actually use such a technique with his Primal Energy Realm cultivation!"

"Xia Wuji is powerful, but his opponent is the Sixth Prince of the Great Chu Imperial Family. The Sixth Prince has now gotten serious, and Xia Wuji is bound to lose."

"With the Sixth Prince's fury, after Xia Wuji is suppressed, he will probably wish he were dead, unable to live or die."

The massive phantom ape hovered above Chu Yang's body, emitting an extremely ferocious and brutal aura. It wildly pounded its phantom chest with its arms, emitting deafening roars.

"Xia Wuji, to die by my hand is your honor!" Chu Yang's expression was ferocious.

With his current cultivation, he naturally could not unleash the full power of the Heavenly Ape Fist, but even so, he believed it was more than enough to deal with Xia Wuji.

After all, he had used this technique before and managed to exchange blows with a first-level Core Formation Realm expert who was sparring with him for several rounds without being defeated.

Xia Wuji looked at the colossal ape phantom and sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, "A mere trick, and you dare to show off in front of me?"

"I think the only thing tough about you is your mouth. Facing death, you still dare to be arrogant!" Chu Yang roared, forming hand seals and shouting, "Ape King's Wrath!"

"Boom!"

The massive ape phantom instantly lunged forward, its two thick arms smashing down, stirring up a dense series of air explosions. The very light in the area seemed to warp!

"Pathetic!"

Xia Wuji coldly declared, taking a step forward and leaping up, charging directly at the incoming ape phantom!

No dodging, no defending!

A direct clash!

Those who witnessed this felt Xia Wuji was being far too overconfident, a surefire way to court death!

The Sixth Prince, Chu Yang, had already envisioned the scene: Xia Wuji's bones would be shattered by the power of his Heavenly Ape Fist, leaving him like a puddle of mud, crawling on the ground like a maggot for him to trample!

Just as the ape phantom's descending arms were about to crush Xia Wuji.

"Swish!"

Xia Wuji swept his sword out horizontally!

The sword light poured out like a torrent.

Layer upon layer!

Overlapping Waves Sword Art, Fourth Wave!

Currently, Xia Wuji was at the half-step Primal Energy Realm, his internal Sword Essence sufficient to unleash four layers of sword qi radiance.

"Boom!"

The colossal ape phantom instantly disintegrated like paper!

The terrifying wave of sword qi, its residual power undiminished, continued to sweep forward.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream followed. The Sixth Prince of the Great Chu Imperial Family, Chu Yang, was struck by the sword light and sent flying backward.

Blood sprayed from his body, and he fell to the ground like a withered leaf in late autumn.

Everyone's pupils constricted.

Chu Yang, with his eighth-level Primal Energy Realm cultivation and wielding the Mid-grade Profound Tier martial art Heavenly Ape Fist, was still no match for Xia Wuji.

And his defeat was so thorough, so utterly without suspense, it was a complete annihilation!
