Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start

He roared and swung the axe in his hands again and again.

Hong Yun, meanwhile, quietly appeared off to the side.

Seeing Hong Yun so calm and unruffled while Xing Tian seemed to have lost his mind, wildly swinging Gan Qi in the middle of the arena, the Witch Clan members...

The crowd erupted into a clamor!

Gong Gong sat close to Zhen Yuan Zi and shook his head. "What's the point of fighting like that?"

The Witch Clan revered clashes of flesh and blood—brutal, direct, and bloody!

Hong Yun was using the Power of Law to crush his opponent from an entirely different level.

That took all the excitement out of the battle!

After hearing this, Zhen Yuan Zi rolled his eyes and retorted, "Little Brother Hong Yun doesn't cultivate the path of the physical body. Besides, when you're actually fighting an enemy, who cares how you like to fight?"

"You fight however makes you comfortable!"

"And however makes your opponent suffer!"

Hong Yun heard Zhen Yuan Zi's words and even turned around in the arena to nod at him.

He agreed wholeheartedly. "Zhen Yuan's right!"

Then he smiled. "But this is only a sparring match today. If Xing Tian loses like this, I doubt he'll accept it."

"Let's have a proper fight the way everyone likes!"

As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, the red mist trapping Xing Tian returned to him like swallows returning to their nest.

It quickly flowed back into Hong Yun's body!

Hong Yun smiled at Xing Tian. "I was letting you experience how battles fought with the Dao of Law work."

"Come!"

"Now let's fight using our own strength!"

Once released, Xing Tian was panting heavily.

The sight of Hong Yun immediately made anger rise in his heart. He'd swung so many axe blows, and for what? He hadn't even seen a glimpse of his opponent.

Hearing what Hong Yun said, great strength surged through his body once more!

You said it yourself!

Since Hong Yun specializes in the Dao of Law, his physical strength might not be anything special!

Besides, they say Hong Yun's true form is a cloud.

What strength could a cloud possibly have?

"Hyah!"

Xing Tian roared and brought Gan Qi down on Hong Yun with both hands!

Without Hong Yun interfering, the axe blade once again drew upon the power of Heaven and Earth!

An enormous phantom appeared behind Xing Tian.

It seemed to move slowly, yet it swiftly bore down on Hong Yun!

Dijiang, who had been watching from outside the arena, appeared in an instant directly opposite Xing Tian, still beyond the arena's boundary.

If the force of this axe blow spilled out, he would have to find a way to block it.

Otherwise, the clansmen watching might get hurt.

Seeing Xing Tian bellowing and Dijiang's reaction, Zhen Yuan Zi smiled faintly.

No one else knew Hong Yun as well as Zhen Yuan Zi, who had spent every day with him.

Sure, Hong Yun's true form was a cloud!

But ever since Hong Yun had gained sentience and transformed into an Innate Dao Body, he had taken great care of that body.

Just look at the rounds of fruit growing on his Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Hong Yun had picked most of them and used them to nourish his Innate Dao Body.

And although Hong Yun hadn't traveled around the Primordial Wilderness for long, he had still managed to find some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures.

He'd used those, too, to fortify his transformed Innate Dao Body!

By that reckoning...

Could an Innate Dao Body at the Great Luo realm, specially strengthened by Hong Yun, really be weaker than a Great Shaman's body?

Zhen Yuan Zi shook his head.

Sure enough, as Xing Tian brought down his axe, Hong Yun simply threw a punch and struck Gan Qi.

Clang!

At the point where fist and axe met, a metallic ring rang out.

Hong Yun's fist shone with a soft white light!

It was like an indestructible divine metal.

An incredibly sharp force surged from Gan Qi, trying to eat into Hong Yun's fist!

It burrowed inward like a drill!

But it could never break through the surface. Instead, it was shattered by the force rebounding from Hong Yun's fist.

The enormous phantom following the blow also crumbled away, inch by inch.

This time, it was a pure contest of strength!

But it was clear that Xing Tian had lost again.

After blocking Gan Qi, Hong Yun had already held back, but Xing Tian was still thrown backward by the impact.

He stumbled back violently.

"How is that possible?"

"How can his physical strength be this powerful?"

"Isn't he a cloud?"

Xing Tian's eyes were full of disbelief.

This frail-looking Hong Yun had physical strength hidden within him that was no weaker than an Ancestral Shaman's!

Thud!

Zhurong rushed behind Xing Tian like a gust of wind and reached out to catch him by the back.

As he caught Xing Tian, he also dissipated the force of the impact!

At that moment, Zhurong couldn't help regretting it.

He shouldn't have simply egged Xing Tian on to fight Hong Yun as if it were all a game.

Was this really a fight?

It was a one-sided beating!

Zhurong shot Hong Yun a somewhat exasperated look. Hadn't he said he would give the clan's younger generation some pointers?

After the two landed, Xing Tian still looked bewildered.

He hadn't recovered from the blow he'd just suffered!

Xing Tian felt a little dejected.

He'd thought that even if his overall strength couldn't match Hong Yun, who was at the Great Luo realm...

At least his body would be stronger than Hong Yun's, right?

So when Hong Yun had used the Power of Law to crush him from another level...

When Xing Tian had been raging helplessly...

He'd even felt a little wronged.

But his physical strength wasn't a match either?

Most importantly...

Hong Yun had knocked him down with a single punch!
