Outer City in Turmoil, Chaos Begins (Please Follow)

Wang Xuance did not see that Li Mingyu's arm holding the spear was trembling violently beneath his sleeve, his tiger's mouth split open and bloody flesh mangled.

The force of his opponent's fists was like a surging river, endless and unceasing. To seize the spear shaft, he could only withstand it head-on!

Both times he grabbed the spear, his palms had to endure the immense force carried by the shaft. Had the Heaven-Roaming Flying Fish Skill not been so mysterious in the art of deflecting internal force, he feared he would not have been able to block even the first move!

"Whew~~"

"Though I do not know how your blood and qi surged overnight to reach the Three-Knock Blood Pass, I must win this match!"

"To force out this move, you may take pride in yourself!"

He exhaled, drew back his spear, and swept it around. The muscles all over his body began to tighten as his blood and qi circulated within him in a peculiar pattern.

"Buzz—"

With a long, clear cry, Li Mingyu raised his spear and strode forward. The spear tip scraped against the ground, throwing up countless sparks. As his speed steadily increased, the spear shaft trembled violently, blazing with silver light and brimming with ferocious momentum.

"Heh heh, good lad! He really has mastered that move. I just wonder how much of its spear force he can unleash!"

Bai Xuan, master of the Giant Whale Martial Hall, chuckled softly. His disciple's true strength had always been so unfathomable!

Great Arc-Circle Kill!

The next moment, silver blossoms danced chaotically before Wang Xuance's eyes, killing intent running wild. Wave upon wave of spear edges came crashing down like a torrential rain, so dense not even water could penetrate.

It felt as if the very ground beneath his feet had been shrouded by spear edges, leaving him no chance to evade. Every thrust was incomparably swift, aimed directly at vital points.

Wang Xuance's body swayed as he shifted left and right, evading several upward flicks, sweeps, and horizontal thrusts. Then he seized an opening to throw a punch and beat back the incoming spear tip.

"Clang clang clang—"

An unending series of extraordinary metallic clashes rang out, stirring up countless clouds of dust. The exchanges were incredibly dense.

Blinding sparks exploded through the air. At times, his fist edge smashed through the spear edge and struck directly toward Li Mingyu; at others, the spear edge slashed upward, aiming straight for Wang Xuance's head.

The two exchanged no fewer than a hundred moves.

The spear was so tightly linked, one thrust following another, that he was never able to withdraw his fist and counterattack. He could only keep his fist extended, defending himself as he dodged.

Gradually, Wang Xuance grew more alarmed the longer they fought. The force behind this man's spear was unending, each thrust stronger than the last, like a rising tide crashing in with rolling vicious waves.

Even with his fist force transformed into Aura, he gradually began to show signs of defeat under such hard clashes.

No. I have to endure one hit, trade injury for an opening. If I keep following his unending spear momentum, then within a hundred moves, this body of mine will surely be pierced through by the spear tip, and I will die on the spot!

Wang Xuance calculated inwardly, and the force behind his punches began to fluctuate between heavy and light.

Li Mingyu, meanwhile, was beginning to grow anxious.

He had not yet fully mastered this move, Great Arc-Circle Kill. It looked incomparably mighty, every move following the force, driving Wang Xuance back again and again until he seemed to have no chance of victory.

But only he knew the truth. This spear form consumed blood and qi enormously. Every thrust, stab, and lift was incredibly swift, carrying the force of waters breaking through barriers and mountains collapsing, peerlessly fierce.

Yet only after successfully condensing the Essence of Blood and Qi could he wield it without concern.

With his current reserves of blood and qi, he absolutely could not use it for long. Otherwise, he would surely suffer irreversible injuries.

But his opponent's fist technique had clearly reached the level of transforming force into Aura. Against it, his ordinary spear techniques were no more than a cup of water against a cartload of firewood.

The next moment, Li Mingyu's body jolted as though struck by lightning. His expression changed drastically, and in his daze, the great spear in his hand suddenly stalled for an instant!

"Not good!"

Break!

Wang Xuance roared. His left shoulder took a spear head-on—"pfft!" The spear tip pierced his flesh. Then his five fingers hooked around the shaft, while his feet planted one before the other like an old tree spreading its roots!

He exerted force and yanked backward. The force traveled straight along the shaft to Li Mingyu's spear-holding shoulder, effortlessly wrenching the spear from his grasp.

The spear shaft slipped free from Li Mingyu's hand. Its force immediately became unbalanced, and with a "whoosh," it shot away.

It plunged into the edge of the arena, humming and trembling without end.

The muscles of his ape-like arm twisted as he threw out Fist Aura. Visible ripples spread before the two men like the impact of a cannonball, hammering directly into Li Mingyu's chest!

Fist Shatters the Tides!

In that instant, Li Mingyu felt as though his chest had been struck by a massive hammer and caved inward. His robe could not withstand the Fist Aura and tore apart with a "rip."

A yellow silk armor was revealed underneath, glinting with a trace of golden light beneath the rising sun.

"Hmph!"

A mountain-toppling, sea-overturning force slammed into the inner armor. The armor plates wriggled like waves, deflecting most of the Fist Aura.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several dozen thumb-thick armor plates shot out, embedding themselves in the arena and trembling violently.

Meanwhile, beneath the boundless, ocean-like torrent of Fist Aura, flesh exploded from Li Mingyu's chest as he violently spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of organs.

"Bang!"

His body curled like a boiled prawn as he flew off the platform, fainting on the spot.

[True Martial Qi +90!]

[True Martial Qi +90!]

[True Martial Qi +90!]

...

"Pfft!"

Wang Xuance's shoulder and arm had been pierced by the spear tip. After forcibly driving his Fist Aura, his blood and qi churned painfully. Every breath felt like steel needles piercing his flesh, and his legs gave out beneath him as he sat heavily on the arena.

"Huff huff—"

He panted in great, labored gasps, his chest wheezing like the wind as his face alternated between pale and flushed.

Glancing at the unconscious Li Mingyu, whose chest was a bloody mess, Wang Xuance saw that although the sight looked dreadful, the inner armor had in fact blocked nearly ninety percent of the Fist Aura. Most of the injuries were merely superficial flesh wounds.

Without that yellow inner armor, I would have probably smashed his chest to pulp!

He tapped several points on his shoulder to stop the bleeding, then slowly regulated his breath and circulated his qi to restore himself. Fortunately, his martial cultivation had reached the Three-Knock Blood Pass, and the blood and qi within his body were at their most abundant.

Such external wounds would not take too long to heal!

"Rumble!"

A thunderclap burst from the clear sky. A golden lightning serpent streaked swiftly across the heavens, like an army of ten thousand galloping past one's side, carrying the force of waters breaking through barriers and mountains collapsing, thunder roaring and lightning flashing.

Wang Xuance abruptly raised his head and looked toward the clouds. The space where his gaze fell seemed to become blurred and distorted.

No matter how he focused his eyesight, he could not make it out clearly!

In an instant, at the point where the golden clouds met, a black figure and a yellow figure stood suspended in the air. When they spoke, their voices were like the whispers of gods and demons, resounding through the skies.

"White Light City... I haven't been here in nearly sixty years!"

"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, we still have important business to attend to. The Cult Leader is quite enraged over this matter!"

"Hmph, merely a demon whelp who entered the Force Aura Realm through crooked methods, and he dares run wild in my White Light City!"

"Bold beyond measure, barging into the halls of Yama!"

The voice boomed with thunderous fury, like the wrath of Heaven.

A white rainbow shot over from the horizon with incredible speed, its long arc shaking the sky like a meteor chasing the moon.

Surging True Martial Qi instantly transformed into ten snow-white flood dragons. Their bloody maws opened wide, and with a slight roll, they lunged forward!

"Hee hee, Li the Barbarian, and you already want to leave after only a few exchanges? This old lady still has several moves to show you!"

A pink lotus shot through the air, striking the white rainbow with perfect accuracy. With a "bang," it exploded into a ring of pink mist that blanketed a vast stretch of sky, while countless Crimson Honey Demon Sounds bewildered the mind.

A streak of black circled the snow-white flood dragons once. With a "pfft," they split into several pieces, collapsing into specks of white light before they could even reach the two figures.

"You two, activate the jade talismans at once! With Li the Barbarian's martial realm, I cannot restrain him for long!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two figures changed drastically.

"Not good, it's Li the Barbarian! How did he break free so quickly?!"

The two figures each took out a jade talisman and tossed it downward. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into wooden pillars as large as small mountains.

"Buzz!!!"

Two layers of lush green light screens shot into the sky. Countless incomparably profound silver runes whirled out in an instant, crashing toward the north and south gates of White Light Outer City.

"Rumble rumble!"

The ground suddenly erupted with a heaven-shaking blast. Wang Xuance felt as though an earth dragon had turned over, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, while the entire ground shook with violent turbulence.

Just as White Light Outer City descended into chaos and turmoil, with killing intent lurking everywhere,

within a verdant pavilion not far from the arena, the elderly man with long brows and dark robes, whom General Li had left behind to guard the pavilion, stopped by the window and raised a brow.

"They actually opened both the north and south gates, destroying the outer city's restrictions in one stroke. A great sect that has stood for a thousand years truly has some tricks!"

"Fine then. These old bones of mine must get busy again..."

A breeze swept through the pavilion. The old man lightly took a step forward and vanished from where he stood.

Where Wang Xuance stood, the arena suddenly cracked with a "crack," collapsing into fist-sized chunks of stone.

The entire square instantly descended into chaos. The commoners and martial hall members all wore terrified expressions, on the verge of panicked confusion.

"Th-this... what is happening?!"

Then he caught sight of Wu Shan looking up at the sky, a chaotic and sinister smile on his face. A sharp sense of danger immediately rose along Wang Xuance's back, like thorns pressing against it.

"Not good! That old thief is up to something!"
