Tang San Took a Blow!

As Zhao Wuji sat in his chair and watched this scene, a glint flashed from the corner of his eye.

Glancing at Ye Xingchen as he approached, he slowly rose to his feet.

"Young man, you're truly brave, choosing to face me alone!"

"Are you looking down on me, Zhao Wuji? Or are you looking down on Soul Saints?"

Neither servile nor overbearing, Ye Xingchen smiled. With every step he took, his aura grew stronger.

Looking at the Soul Saint Zhao Wuji before him, he said calmly:

"I only hope Teacher Zhao Wuji won't forget to suppress his strength. Otherwise, this battle will have no meaning!"

With those words, Ye Xingchen gradually quickened his steps, then abruptly turned into a blur and vanished from where he stood!

Speed?

Slightly surprised, Zhao Wuji watched the figure disappear, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

In all his years of fighting countless enemies, no one had ever overwhelmed him with speed!

With a casual wave of his hand, the Soul Rings on his body immediately shone.

"Do you really think my title of Immovable Wisdom King is a joke? Today, I'll let you get a good look, brat!"

The moment he finished speaking, a streak of white sword qi suddenly appeared around him, followed by a sword tip that gradually stole toward him.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji brought his fists together and thrust forward, his entire body bent like a bow!

An explosion rang out, and both figures immediately retreated ten steps.

Zhao Wuji lowered his head in silence and froze slightly. Looking at the tiny wound on his arm, surprise appeared in his eyes!

"Not bad, brat. That sword qi of yours has something to it!"

"To think it could break through my defenses. How strange!"

Unimpressed, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly. With the Heaven Shading Method at his disposal, his spiritual power was on an entirely different level from soul power.

Moreover, the trace of peculiar power produced by the fusion of spiritual power and soul power was incomparably strong!

Just now, he had used the Cloud Pattern Long Sword to wield that trace of peculiar power!

He had not expected such an extraordinarily good result. It had even slowly breached a sliver of the Immovable Wisdom King Zhao Wuji's defenses.

"Heavens, just how strong is this guy? He actually broke through Teacher Zhao Wuji's defenses with a sword!"

"It looks like he went easy on me earlier. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have ended up in just that state!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai froze on the spot. He had thought that no matter how strong this guy was, he could not contend with Teacher Zhao Wuji.

Who would have thought he would wound him in their very first exchange? Such powerful, terrifying sword qi made Dai Mubai even warier.

"The power in this guy's body seems a little different from soul power..."

After seeing Ye Xingchen's sword strike, Tang San muttered to himself, immediately noticing that the power within it was not entirely soul power.

Such a peculiar sight made him unable to resist muttering to himself.

"Brother San, what are you talking about? Did you notice something different?"

Equally astonished by what she had seen, Xiao Wu turned to ask him.

With a grave expression, Tang San shook his head slightly. Looking at that white-robed figure, he felt a little pressure.

He glanced at Xiao Wu and said calmly:

"This guy is very strong. Without using hidden weapons, I'm afraid I couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from him!"

Standing nearby, Ning Rongrong looked smug when she heard this.

She glanced at Tang San and said with a smile:

"Aren't you embarrassed? You actually want to withstand one of his sword strikes? If I were you, I wouldn't even have the courage to fight him!"

"My husband is incredibly powerful. What you're seeing now is nowhere near the extent of his strength!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu remained composed and chose not to argue.

That night, when she had fought him, she had indeed seen the tip of his iceberg.

From this, it was clear that this guy's strength was unfathomable. He might really be able to defeat the Soul Saint before them!

Beginning to take things seriously, Zhao Wuji shook his head, and his martial soul immediately manifested.

The Great Vajra Bear!

"Roar!"

As the Great Vajra Bear roared, intense golden light instantly erupted from Zhao Wuji's body.

He glanced at Ye Xingchen, crooked a finger, and said:

"Brat, let's try that again!"

With those words, Zhao Wuji abruptly vanished from where he stood.

A second later, he appeared before Ye Xingchen, opened his fists into palms, and thrust them forward without hesitation.

"Take a palm strike from me! Let's teach a young brat like you a lesson!"

As immovable as a mountain, Ye Xingchen smiled. The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul above his head erupted with streams of brilliant light, instantly enveloping the area around him!

His two yellow Soul Rings also erupted with powerful soul power to resist the attack.

"Clang!"

A piercing metallic crash rang out. Before Zhao Wuji could react, he gave a muffled grunt and was driven back ten steps.

Looking at the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul before him, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Just now, he had used not only the Immovable Ming King Body but also the Great Vajra Palm. Who would have thought that even with both soul skills empowering him, he would fail to harm this brat in the slightest!

"You really are a freak, brat! Just what kind of martial soul is that? It actually blocked both my Immovable Ming King Body and my Great Vajra Palm!"

Hearing Zhao Wuji's startled exclamation, Ye Xingchen stood inside the cauldron with a pale face.

Under that reckless fellow's attack just now, he had actually suffered some impact. He was not as unruffled as he appeared.

Still, that slight impact was no more than a sprinkle of water to him.

After successfully advancing to the Wheel Sea Other Shore Stage, his own powerful spiritual power and soul power had become assimilated with the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul.

With the absorption of two Soul Rings on top of that, even he did not know just how strong its defenses were.

Only now, with Zhao Wuji's impact, did he gain some idea.

At present, Zhao Wuji was displaying strength at the peak Soul Ancestor level at most, yet his all-out strike had not breached the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul's defenses in the slightest!

In other words, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul's current ultimate defense could allow Ye Xingchen to remain undefeated under a Soul Ancestor's all-out attacks, even if he lacked the strength to strike back.

"Heavens, my ears are almost deaf! Just what kind of martial soul does he have? It actually blocked Teacher Zhao's two great soul skills!"

Covering his ears, Dai Mubai shook his head. He had failed to react when that piercing metallic sound rang out, and now his head was buzzing.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. My husband is much stronger than this. You haven't seen anything yet!"

"You're all basking in my husband's reflected glory right now. Just wait and let him carry you!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had taken precautions early, covered their ears. Seeing Dai Mubai and the others in such a sorry state, they could not help laughing and teasing them.
