Dragon Elephant Impact

As soon as Raging Fire Mad Saber Lei Jue drew his blade, everyone around, including those on the mountaintop a hundred meters away, instinctively held their breath, not daring to make a sound. It wasn't until Lei Jue's saber strike landed on Zhang Yunhao's chest, staining his clothes red with blood, that many people let out gasps of surprise.

"Truly worthy of being called Raging Fire Mad Saber!"

Many marveled in their hearts. Raging Fire Mad Saber was indeed extraordinary. With a single strike, he had wounded the previously so domineering Divine Fist Blood Hand. Moreover, the saber technique, though seemingly plain, was endlessly profound, leaving many saber users feeling enlightened.

After wounding his enemy with a single strike, Lei Jue did not press his attack. Instead, he stopped and nodded in praise, "Not bad. This strike was meant to kill you, but I didn't expect you to dodge the vital point at the last moment. Furthermore, your muscles are very hard; this strike didn't injure you much."

While controlling his muscles to seal the wound and stop the bleeding, Zhang Yunhao looked at Lei Jue and chuckled, "You haven't disappointed me either. Based on this one strike alone, you can be called a Grandmaster of the Saber Dao."

Lei Jue gazed at the long saber in his hand and sighed, "I spent twenty years to completely master my Mad Demon Saber Technique and reach the Grandmaster realm!"

Zhang Yunhao narrowed his eyes. "Completely master? Was that previous strike so powerful because you had completely mastered it?"

Lei Jue smiled without speaking. Such valuable experience was not something he would casually share; he would only pass it down to future disciples. Things related to martial arts have always been guarded jealously.

However, Zhang Yunhao had already understood a great deal. The first step in practicing martial arts is to become proficient in the movements. Next is to grasp its essence and be able to adapt flexibly, without being bound by fixed routines.

Zhang Yunhao's Five Forms Fist had reached the second step, achieving both form and spirit. However, he was still lacking in flexible adaptation, as he was still too young!

After that comes what Lei Jue called mastery.

Mastering one's own martial arts, mastering one's own strength, and unleashing it completely.

The reason Lei Jue's strike was so powerful was not only because of his profound cultivation but also because he had fully unleashed his own strength. If Zhang Yunhao could master all of his own power, the might of his fist techniques would at least double.

Only by reaching this stage can one truly achieve speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness—launching a punch with no deviation in its landing point, fully unleashing its power, with minimal movement or sound, yet completely destroying the target.

"In this world, mastery is the highest stage. However, in the Martial Immortal world, these are merely the preliminary stages. Next, there are the miraculous feats of 'unity of man and sword,' 'no sword in hand, sword in heart,' and even 'sword intent,' 'unity of man and nature,' and so on."

Zhang Yunhao thought to himself, "I won't think too far ahead. I've only just reached the second step, and because my strength has increased too rapidly, my control has greatly diminished. I'm afraid I might regress to the first step."

"Master Lei, why waste words with this guy? Kill him quickly."

The Bearded Strong Man from below impatiently urged. He was already impatient. No matter how powerful Tian Ming was, he was doomed to die. How dare he ignore me before!

Lei Jue frowned slightly, but still said, "Tian Ming, honestly, I admire you greatly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said so much to you. However, I've taken their money, so I must resolve this for them. Today, I must kill you. You should just take your own life and suffer less."

Zhang Yunhao chuckled speechlessly. "Do you really think you've already won?"

"Tian Ming, still talking tough with death looming? Do you think you still have a chance to live in front of Master Lei?"

The Bearded Strong Man laughed disdainfully. Everyone else also shook their heads. From that previous strike, everyone could see that it wasn't that Divine Fist Blood Hand was weak, but that Raging Fire Mad Saber was too strong. Tian Ming was definitely going to die this time.

Even Zhang Dazhuang and the others' confidence wavered. However, their loyalty remained unchanged. If Zhang Yunhao hadn't stopped them secretly, they would have already rushed forward to attack Lei Jue.

Huang Lei also sighed. It seemed her senior brother was in grave danger. She looked at Raging Fire Mad Saber, her eyes flickering. Perhaps she really needed to bring him into the plan!

Lei Jue shook his head. "Tian Ming, I know you're unwilling to admit defeat, but your flaws are too great, and you can't block my saber. I won't say any more. I'll give you a swift end."

Zhang Yunhao smiled, took a deep breath, and assumed the stance of Great Strength Dragon Elephant Fist, like a coiled dragon or a crouching tiger. He said, "Lei Jue, I do have flaws, but do you know? You also have a fatal flaw! Moreover, you've miscalculated one thing."

"A fatal flaw? Miscalculated one thing? Tian Ming, can you still surprise me?"

Lei Jue shook his head dismissively. He had been in seclusion for twenty years, and his saber technique had reached the Grandmaster realm. Although outwardly he had become more peaceful and less wild than before, inwardly, he had become extremely arrogant.

Lei Jue even felt he was qualified to contend for the title of Number One Under Heaven. Therefore, he didn't take Zhang Yunhao too seriously. Killing Zhang Yunhao was a foregone conclusion.

"A surprise, of course there is!"

Zhang Yunhao smiled slightly and took a step forward. This step was significantly slower than before, as if his foot was as heavy as a mountain. But as his foot landed, not only the arena but everyone around felt a tremor!

The earth was shaking. The water in the teacups rippled in circles. Everyone was horrified. How could such power exist?

"Dragon Elephant Impact!"

Then, Zhang Yunhao roared, and a punch was thrown. A fierce wind instantly swept through the surroundings, like a rampaging giant elephant charging forward, ready to destroy anyone in its path.

"I really did miscalculate."

Lei Jue's expression changed for the first time. This guy hadn't used his full strength before; this was his true power, a life-threatening power!

Lei Jue's strength lay in his technique, but no matter how superb the technique, it was useless against absolute power. Even with the most exquisite techniques, an ordinary person couldn't be a match for a mere grunt in the True Qi Realm. This is the principle of "one force overcomes ten skills"!

"Don't think you can win just by doing this! I am Raging Fire Mad Saber! Mad Demon Reversal Saber!"

In the critical moment, Lei Jue frantically channeled his profound True Qi, his face turning red. He narrowly dodged the terrifying punch and, amidst the gale, swung his saber backward like a thunderbolt towards Zhang Yunhao's arm.

But to Lei Jue's surprise, Zhang Yunhao completely ignored the saber and, with his other hand, slapped towards him with a violent surge of air.

Lei Jue's expression changed again. At most, his saber strike would sever Zhang Yunhao's arm, but if he were hit by the opponent's palm, he would be severely injured, if not killed!

This power was simply too terrifying. And the defensive capabilities of low-level martial artists weren't just "not very good"; they were extremely poor.

Therefore, Lei Jue had no choice but to forcibly halt his saber move, activate his True Qi, and float up like a piece of paper, narrowly dodging by using the opponent's momentum. This was also thanks to the opponent's lack of precise control over his power; otherwise, he might not have even been able to dodge this move.

This forced halt and dodge completely put Lei Jue on the defensive.
