Energy Ripples, a Duel Between Two Heroes

"Boom!"

Instantly, a terrifying energy wave burst forth from Yang Jian's hand, shattering the void within a hundred meters radius. The terrifying force also sent Yang Jian flying backward, hurtling dozens of feet before crashing to the ground.

Cough cough cough!

Yang Jian coughed violently, his face turned deathly pale, and a trace of bright red blood clung to the corner of his mouth. He stared at Zhu Bajie in horror.

Yang Jian had gone all out in that move, but he was still almost blasted away by Zhu Bajie in one strike. Clearly, Yang Jian now had a direct understanding of Zhu Bajie's strength.

"What!?"

Upon seeing Yang Jian's expression, Yang Jian's face changed slightly. Clearly, Yang Jian hadn't expected that what he thought he could resolve with a single move would now become so troublesome.

"Heh heh, kid, now you're scared, aren't you? I never thought you'd be afraid, huh? How about it? It's too late to regret it now. You think you're so powerful, but you're just a paper tiger. You've already lost. Quickly surrender, and maybe I can spare your life. Otherwise, you'll stay here forever!" Zhu Bajie sneered upon seeing Yang Jian's expression, a smug look on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"You idiot, what do you have to be so smug about now? Don't forget who I am, I am Yang Jian. Do you really think I'm so easy to kill?" Upon hearing his words, Yang Jian's eyes narrowed instantly, and he stared intently at Zhu Bajie, his face turning icy cold.

"What!? Yang Jian!? How is this possible? This is impossible!"

"How could you possibly be Yang Jian!? Isn't he already dead? How could he still exist in this world?"

Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, Zhu Bajie was instantly dumbfounded, clearly not expecting that Yang Jian would actually be Yang Jian; this was completely beyond his expectations.

Do you think I'd tell you why? Haven't you been looking for me all this time? Why not take this opportunity to send you on your way myself!

Upon hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Yang Jian stared coldly at Zhu Bajie, his face filled with chilling murderous intent.

"You want to kill me? Do you think you can kill me all by yourself? You're too naive!" Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, Zhu Bajie sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Really? You really think you have that ability? In that case, I'll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, Yang Jian stomped his right foot on the ground and pounced towards Zhu Bajie like lightning.

"Hmph! A petty trick!" Seeing this, a deep disdain flashed in Zhu Bajie's eyes, and then the spiked club in his hand once again transformed into a long whip and lashed fiercely at Yang Jian.

"Bang!"

A clang of metal clashing rang out once more, and then Yang Jian and Zhu Bajie separated instantly. Yang Jian's expression turned grim.

At this moment, Yang Jian's clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood.

A shocking wound appeared on Yang Jian's left shoulder, with streaks of scarlet blood slowly flowing down his shoulder, creating a scene of utter tragic beauty.

"What powerful strength!" Yang Jian muttered to himself.

"Hmph! Not bad, you do have some strength. But your power is still too weak. Do you think you're the only one who can cultivate to the God King Realm? How laughable! With your meager strength, you think you can kill me? You're just delusional!" After seeing Yang Jian's appearance, Zhu Bajie had a smug look in his eyes and spoke coldly.

"Is that so? I admit, my strength is a little inferior to yours, but that doesn't mean I can't kill you!" Yang Jian's tone was unusually cold. He then raised his head and looked at Zhu Bajie with indifferent eyes.

"Is that so? Then let me see if you have the right to say that!" Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, Zhu Bajie's face immediately darkened. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes as he coldly stared at Yang Jian.

After saying that, Zhu Bajie stomped his feet on the ground and instantly rushed towards Yang Jian. His spiked club, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, slammed down towards Yang Jian's head, several times faster than before.

"Hmph! You think you can kill me? You're dreaming!"

Upon seeing Zhu Bajie's appearance, Yang Jian snorted coldly, and immediately raised his Scarlet Firmament Sword to meet the attack head-on. A terrifying aura instantly soared into the sky, and a terrifying Sword-Ray instantly condensed, directly meeting the spiked club.

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

After a muffled thud, Yang Jian's body was sent flying backward once again, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, this attack had caused Yang Jian serious internal injuries.

"Haha! Kid, I think you'd better just surrender obediently and stop making futile resistance."

Seeing Yang Jian being forced back once again, Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and a smug look appeared on his face. Then he charged towards Yang Jian again.

"Hmph! Even if you fight with all your might, you still can't escape death. Since that's the case, I'm not going to waste my breath on you."

Upon seeing Zhu Bajie's appearance, Yang Jian revealed a mocking expression. He then flipped his wrist, instantly producing a Jade Slip and inserting it into the Jade Slip. He then crushed it, and a jade talisman exploded instantly.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Instantly, strange sounds resounded through the void, and wisps of milky white mist spread out. Then, a terrifying pressure surged from all directions, and a rich Spiritual Qi instantly appeared around Yang Jian.

This aura was incredibly vast, giving one a sense of invincibility. This was the restriction Yang Jian had set up earlier, and it was now functioning. Although the restriction wasn't particularly advanced, it was enough to withstand an attack from a Peak Heavenly Immortal. At least it shouldn't be a problem against ordinary Peak Heavenly Immortal, and it could even barely withstand a few moves from a God Emperor- level expert. However, it was somewhat insufficient against peak Heavenly Immortals like the Heavenly Immortal Peak Daluo Golden Immortal. But Yang Jian was prepared; if Zhu Bajie dared to attack him, he would definitely suffer.

"Huh? What is this?!"
