Ouyang Ke

Ouyang Ke

Ouyang Ke landed, and a whirlwind swept through the scene with him, pushing away the dust all around.

"Look, Ouyang Ke is about to make a move."

"Ouyang Ke is a super expert ranked eighth on the Earth Ranking. I wonder if Jiang Feng can survive beneath his might."

"Exactly. Ouyang Ke's strength can't be measured by the realm of an ordinary martial artist. Rumor has it that before he entered the Qi Family's Senior Guest Pavilion, he seriously injured a mighty expert of the Heaven Martial Realm. After cultivating in the Qi Family's Senior Guest Pavilion all these years, he must have gained a great deal, and his strength must have improved quite a bit."

"This battle is dangerous for Jiang Feng!"

Ouyang Ke looked at Jiang Feng, cold light gleaming in his eyes. "Jiang Feng, before I make my move, you still have a chance to regret this. Once I do, even if you beg for mercy, I won't hold back. You'd better think carefully!"

Jiang Feng shook his head. "You look like someone with some status and reputation, so why do you have so much damn nonsense to say?"

The words shot out, and Jiang Feng took the initiative to attack.

It was still Baili Tu's giant ruler, its ruler technique mixed with true intent as it rushed straight toward Ouyang Ke.

"Jiang Feng's made his move. This momentum seems even stronger than before!"

"Looks like Jiang Feng didn't use his full strength just now. If he had used this level of strength earlier, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have needed Bloodthirsty Eight-Fold Wave—Gusu Fu wouldn't have been able to take even one move."

"Just what level has Jiang Feng's cultivation reached? He actually cut down two experts at the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm in a row, and now he even dares to face an Earth Ranking expert like Ouyang Ke."

"Four days ago, he killed Su Di in one move at Central Square, showing strength of the Earth Martial Realm. Don't tell me that in just four days, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Earth Martial Realm?"

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

"In my opinion, Jiang Feng had probably already reached his current cultivation during his closed-door training in the Nie Mansion."

They did not know that during Jiang Feng's four days of seclusion, he had raised his cultivation from the first level of the Earth Martial Realm to the fourth. Such a terrifying cultivation speed really could frighten people to death if spoken aloud.

For ordinary Earth Martial Realm martial artists, raising their cultivation by one level in two or three years already made them outstanding among their peers. Under normal circumstances, it took four or five years to advance by one level. Someone like Jiang Feng, who advanced three levels in four days, truly made people jealous, resentful, and unable to swallow their indignation.

Ouyang Ke's expression darkened. "A fool who doesn't know life from death. I'll let you see the gap between you and a true expert!"

Clearly, Ouyang Ke had no intention of using a weapon. In his eyes, Jiang Feng was very strong, but only on the basis of having the same cultivation level. The fact that he could kill Baili Tu and Gusu Fu was already shocking enough. But he absolutely could not pose a threat to him!

Jiang Feng also understood that the eighth rank on the Earth Ranking definitely was not an empty reputation. Who knew how many Earth Martial Realm consummate experts with cultivation comparable to his had been killed by Ouyang Ke, establishing his current ranking? As for Jiang Feng himself, he only had cultivation at the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. In terms of cultivation, the gap was already vast, so he did not dare to hold back at all.

The moment he attacked, it was naturally a full-force assault with the ruler technique carrying true intent.

To Jiang Feng, whether he used a spear or a giant ruler, there actually was not much difference. The Burning Passion Spear Technique, after being tempered and modified by him, might be much stronger, but right now, he temporarily had no long spear to use.

Under the heavy shroud of the giant ruler, Ouyang Ke's expression did not change as he dodged with ease. His protective energy, "Mountains and Rivers for Me," also had astonishing defensive power.

After a few moves, Jiang Feng sensed it as well.

In terms of subtlety, Ouyang Ke's protective energy was not equal to his own, but it was already powerful enough, far beyond what ordinary people could compare to. Moreover, his cultivation was much higher, so it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Feng's ruler technique to easily break through his protective energy.

Ouyang Ke had also made his own measure in his heart: This kid can actually shake my protective energy. Though he isn't able to break through it, I can't be careless either.

For ordinary Earth Martial Realm martial artists, their protective energy could usually defend against "force." At someone like Gusu Fu's level, it could barely defend against "true intent." And at someone like Ouyang Ke's level, it was even more remarkable. Ordinary "true intent" could not destroy his protective energy at all.

The fact that Jiang Feng's ruler technique true intent could shake Ouyang Ke's protective energy was enough to shock Ouyang Ke.

Most of the onlookers could only watch the spectacle now, because they could not make out the battle situation at all. They only saw two figures flickering, gravel flying everywhere around them, and the surging momentum that spread out completely destroying the remaining broken walls and ruins.

After this battle, the entire Jiang Mansion would have to be rebuilt!

Before anyone realized it, the Dragon Tower Master had already arrived and was standing on the outskirts watching. With his cultivation, even he could not see the battle clearly.

"I didn't expect the expert ranked eighth on the Earth Ranking to personally make a move. This battle is bound to shake the entire Hengshan Prefecture. I'll record the two of them fighting with a Memory Crystal. In the future, it will surely become precious material."

"Jiang Feng, ah, in the end, you still drew the Qi Family's experts here to destroy you. What a pity, what a pity!"

Within the battle, although Ouyang Ke had not yet fallen into a disadvantage, he discovered that Jiang Feng's ruler technique was becoming more and more ferocious, his use of true intent increasingly skillful, and the deployment of his energy utterly smooth and effortless. He did not seem at all like a child who had only just advanced to the Earth Martial Realm.

He swore that among all the consummate Earth Martial Realm experts he had killed in the past, not one of them was Jiang Feng's match. In their use of energy, those people were not even as good as Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, you are indeed very strong, but if you want to survive against me with just these methods, it still isn't enough." Ouyang Ke appeared extremely composed. If Jiang Feng only had this little bit of strength, then he only needed to slash once, and he could take Jiang Feng's life.

"Is that so?" Jiang Feng also felt pressure for the first time, but his mouth still had to hold firm with a couple of tough words.

My cultivation is still too far behind. If I had cultivation at the sixth level of the Earth Martial Realm, I could rely on this ruler technique to easily take his life. But right now, I only have cultivation at the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. It isn't enough. Sure enough, it isn't enough!

No rush yet. I still have martial skills I haven't used. With that martial skill I created, even if it might not be enough to take Ouyang Ke's life, seriously injuring him should still be possible.

Mm, my true intent still has room to improve. Then I'll improve it a little more!

To be able to push the moves in his hands to the extreme while still dividing his attention to ponder and comprehend an even higher true intent—perhaps only Jiang Feng could do such a thing.

Sure enough, actual combat was the best way to improve strength. In tonight's battle, Jiang Feng's strength had improved quite a bit. First, he had comprehended true intent, and now, under Ouyang Ke's pressure, he had raised that true intent to another level.

Ouyang Ke immediately sensed that the true intent in Jiang Feng's ruler technique had become even sharper. His protective energy was actually starting to struggle against it.

"Good kid, you really are a bottomless pit!" Ouyang Ke was somewhat worried. He could clearly see every bit of Jiang Feng's growth. This speed of growth seemed far too fast.

No, I can't keep playing around with him...

In the very instant Ouyang Ke was thinking, Jiang Feng seized his opening. With Jiang Feng's soul strength, as long as there was even the slightest flaw, it would inevitably fall under his discerning eye.

Good chance! Jiang Feng was overjoyed. It's now—Bloodthirsty Eight-Fold Wave!

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Feng directly unleashed Bloodthirsty Eight-Fold Wave!

"Seven-fold—he actually unleashed a seven-fold wave!"

Ouyang Ke's face changed drastically. He had never imagined that, in such a short time, Jiang Feng had actually raised the Bloodthirsty Eight-Fold Wave another level and unleashed the seventh wave!

"Monster, what a monstrous little brat!"

Ouyang Ke was shaken to the core!

"With protective energy alone, I definitely won't be able to hold!"

Ouyang Ke did not dare hold back any longer. He reached out with his large hand, and a heavy saber appeared out of thin air.

"He actually has a storage treasure!" Jiang Feng was startled. Storage treasures were exceedingly precious; only true martial experts were qualified to possess them, and of course, only those with deep pockets could afford one!

But with Ouyang Ke being the eighth-ranked expert on the Earth Ranking, it was no surprise that he had a storage treasure.

With the heavy saber in hand, Ouyang Ke's aura changed at once. He set the heavy saber upright, and the protective energy he had not had time to withdraw was dissolved by the second wave. The remaining force of the second wave, along with the seventh wave, all crashed down onto Ouyang Ke's heavy saber.

Ouyang Ke only felt his arm go numb from the shock, and he retreated five steps in succession. With every step, he stamped a huge pit into the ground, only managing to steady himself at the end by leaning on his saber like a staff.

Ouyang Ke forcefully suppressed the churning blood and qi within him. A faint metallic tang rose in his throat, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
