Victory, Defeat, and Another Battle: Hidden Weapons and the Sword

Looking at Lin Ye, who was right before him.

Tang San fully circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye were driven to their limits as well, all so he could unleash the full power of the Mysterious Jade Hand and deliver the final blow to Lin Ye! "Final blow?"

Facing Tang San's sudden charge and hearing his low shout, Lin Ye frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm.

This time, however, Lin Ye had no intention of continuing to tangle with Tang San.

Since you want to decide the victor in one strike, then I'll decide the victor with you in one strike!

With Tang San fully circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and activating Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye to unleash the Mysterious Jade Hand at maximum power, his strength had been pushed to its peak.

His jade-white right hand, enhanced by the Mysterious Jade Hand, clenched into a fist. As he moved at high speed, the crystalline fist tore through the air, letting out a piercing whistle.

In terms of force, this punch was already enough to contend with Lin Ye's current physical strength.

Unfortunately, Lin Ye still had not used the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

"Bang!"

Facing Tang San's oncoming attack, Lin Ye suddenly stomped the ground. With a muffled boom, his figure almost instantly became an afterimage and vanished from where he stood.

The next second, the two met in midair!

Seeing Lin Ye suddenly appear before him, Tang San's gaze did not waver in the slightest. With a low shout, he swung his Mysterious Jade Hand, clenched into a fist, through the air at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye did not dodge Tang San's returning punch. Instead, he threw out a punch of his own and met it head-on.

Although Tang San's punch could rival Lin Ye's previous strength, Lin Ye had only been using pure physical strength until now. He still had the Nine Yang Divine Skill at his disposal!

As he fiercely threw out his right fist and unleashed all the strength in his body, Lin Ye also circulated the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

As the Nine Yang Divine Skill began to circulate, Nine Yang True Qi surged through his body, and a faint golden glow appeared over Lin Ye's entire body.

With the strength of his body supplemented by Nine Yang True Qi, the force Lin Ye unleashed with this punch was now close to two thousand jin!

This punch was something even Tang San could not withstand. Even a top-tier Beast Martial Soul Spirit Master using Martial Soul Possession would not be Lin Ye's match without activating an enhancement spirit skill, much less Tang San!

Amid a shrill howl.

The two fists collided!

Boom! A dull crashing sound erupted at once!

The next moment, Tang San's expression changed. An overwhelming force suddenly surged from the opposing fist, numbing his own hand.

Under that force, Tang San was sent flying backward.

After landing, he staggered back more than a dozen steps before barely managing to steady himself.

"What incredible strength!"

After their fists collided, the Mysterious Jade Hand had already been released. Tang San clenched his still-numb right hand and looked up at Lin Ye, his heart filled with shock.

Because he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and had trained since childhood, Tang San believed his strength was considerable. Even among ordinary adults, probably few could match him.

With the Mysterious Heaven Skill's inner force enhancing him, he could lift a forging hammer weighing three to four hundred jin. His strength had to be at least five hundred jin.

And when he fully circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and activated the Mysterious Jade Hand, Tang San felt that the full-force punch he had just thrown had nearly reached one thousand jin!

Yet even so, he still was not Lin Ye's match.

Their fists had collided, and he had actually been sent flying. After landing, he had staggered back more than a dozen steps before steadying himself.

Such an enormous disparity proved that Lin Ye's strength far surpassed his own.

Could Lin Ye's punch just now have exceeded one thousand jin? Tang San's heart churned like a stormy sea, and for a moment, he could hardly believe it.

But compared to Tang San's shock, Lin Ye merely withdrew his fist, completely calm inside.

Although he had sent Tang San flying with one punch, Lin Ye had actually only used a little more than one thousand jin of force.

Lin Ye had originally intended to fully circulate the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but at the instant their fists collided, he realized that Tang San did not seem all that strong.

If he unleashed all his strength while circulating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, then with the enhancement of Nine Yang True Qi, Lin Ye could exert close to two thousand jin of force. With such terrifying power, Tang San's arm might have been broken when their fists collided! Therefore, just before their fists met, Lin Ye hurriedly slowed the circulation of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. He only used it to protect his body and did not draw upon the enhancement of Nine Yang True Qi.

Even so, the rebounding force of the Nine Yang True Qi protecting Lin Ye's body still sent Tang San flying the instant their fists collided.

"I lost!"

After staring at Lin Ye in shock for a while, Tang San could not help sighing and spoke.

When he had previously seen Lin Ye wield the forging hammer as easily as an extension of his arm, Tang San had also been shocked. But with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and Mysterious Jade Hand at his disposal,

Tang San had not thought he was that far behind. Even if Lin Ye was stronger, that did not necessarily mean he had greater combat ability.

But after fighting Lin Ye and discovering that he had been completely overwhelmed, Tang San no longer dared to think that way.

I hid my strength back then, but it seems Lin Ye did the same...

Tang San mocked himself inwardly.

"Tang San, you probably haven't used your full strength yet, have you?"

While Tang San's thoughts were in turmoil, Lin Ye suddenly spoke calmly.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Tang San abruptly raised his head, shock in his eyes.

How did you know?

"You were always hammering that piece of iron. The few times I visited your house, I noticed that you seemed to be making something with it. Then today, that wrist guard suddenly appeared on your arm. The thing you made should have been the wrist guard on your hand, right?"

"It's a weapon, isn't it? You spent so long making it, so it should be your trump card."

"Compared to your martial arts, your eyes often unconsciously drift toward the wrist guard on your hand. That shows this wrist guard is your strongest ace."

As though he knew Tang San's doubts, Lin Ye slowly continued on his own.

"It's too early for you to admit defeat. Let's use that wrist guard of yours for a real duel. I'll use my sword, and you'll use your weapon. What do you say?"

Lin Ye suddenly looked at Tang San.

"My Sleeve Arrow..."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Tang San could not help touching the Sleeve Arrow on his arm and muttering softly.

Suddenly, Tang San took a deep breath and sharply looked at Lin Ye, his gaze filled with resolve.

"Alright, I accept! You'll use your sword, and I'll use my Hidden Weapon. This time, we'll truly decide the victor!"

"Your weapon is called a Hidden Weapon?"

Lin Ye's eyes flickered as he fell into thought.

"Good! Then let me see just how powerful your Sleeve Arrow really is!"

As Lin Ye spoke slowly, he reached back and gripped the hilt of his sword. With a sharp shing, he drew the longsword from the scabbard on his back, his eyes fixed tightly on Tang San.
