novelBattle Realm; Another Great Wave
| ← Ch.0649 | Ch.0651 → |
The other young cultivators who were resting opened their eyes. They revealed faint mockery on their faces.
The people present here would all be competitors later. So no one called out to stop what was happening. Instead, they just stayed quiet and watched.
Gong Yangyu's face alternated between green and red. He was extremely embarrassed, and he raged in his heart. He got up and immediately used his staff to send a strike at that thin man.
"Why so angry? We have been waiting here for a few days already and are bored out of our minds. We are just finding something fun to do."
The thin man did not panic at all. He simply remained seated cross-legged and used his palm to block the long staff gently. Then, using a skillful technique, he pushed back all of Gong Yangyu's force.
Gong Yangyu rushed over with great ferocity but failed to gain any advantage. Instead, the other party easily knocked him back by several dozen meters.
Shouting loudly, Gong Yangyu used Everlasting Heaven and Earth. He instantly took seven steps and created seven afterimages. When the seven afterimages merged together, the winds howled, and the staff looked as tall as a mountain.
The thin man smiled coldly and suddenly stood up. He circulated his Quintessence and quickly sent out three palm strikes.
As the thin man moved his hands, his feet shifted, diminishing the force from the staff slowly. On the third palm strike, he burst forth with power.
"Bang!"
Gong Yangyu vomited a mouthful of blood and flew back. The thin man's defensive techniques were exquisite, dumbfounding Gong Yangyu. Unexpectedly, the stone stool behind him did not even shatter.
The force of the staff was redirected to the ground, creating tiny cracks.
The thin man mocked, "It is just a little bit of fun. Why so serious? You are asking for it, to think you dare to take action against me."
The thin man's gaze turned cold. Unexpectedly, he did not intend to let Gong Yangyu off. He leaped into the air and sent a kick at Gong Yangyu.
"Xiu!"
Just at this moment, a dazzling saber light flashed. A sharp killing intent together with a strand of purple saber Qi flew quickly at the thin man.
Everywhere the saber Qi passed, ripples appeared in space. As the ripples spread out, they kicked up strong howling winds.
The thin man immediately panicked and retracted his foot, quickly retreating and avoiding the saber Qi.
"Ka ca!"
After pushing back the thin man, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and did not continue attacking. Gong Yangyu got up and went over to Xiao Chen. Gong Yangyu's complexion was pale as he thanked Xiao Chen.
The thin man stared at Xiao Chen for a long time. In the end, he felt that Xiao Chen was somewhat unfathomable, so he gave up on retaliating for now.
Xiao Chen's saber strike seemed very average. It was not too shocking nor did it show much weakness. Aside from the thin man who retreated from it, the others could not feel the might of this strike.
At this moment, Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu revealed unsightly expressions. They had not expected to run into such problems upon entering the Supreme Sky Sect.
It was likely that no matter where they went, their identity as Sky Dome Realm cultivators would continue to haunt them; people would make things difficult for them.
After another half day, four more people arrived in the quiet courtyard. Everyone's eyes lit up as these people radiated a strong fighting spirit. Even without them doing anything, everyone felt a fierce pressure.
This was especially so for the stout man in the front. His fighting spirit was as ferocious as the blazing sun; he was like a wild beast on fire.
"They're people from a battle realm. These people are definitely from a battle realm. Unexpectedly, there are people from a battle realm entering our Supreme Sky Sect."
The ten great battle realms were very famous. The geniuses from the battle realms would definitely not be mediocre. Everyone's hearts sank at the prospect of having several more strong competitors.
The four geniuses from the battle realm could not be bothered to walk far. The stout man in front shouted at the people on the nearest stone stools, "Scram! The four of you, quickly get up and make way for us."
This stunned those four people. Clearly, they had not expected these four newcomers to shout at them. For a moment, they could not decide whether advance or retreat.
"You are seeking death!"
With just that moment of hesitation, the four battle realm cultivators shouted ferociously and attacked at the same time. A vast force came pouring out from their palms.
This force was like a raging river, strong and unending. The four quickly stood up to defend themselves. However, they were no match for these palm strikes, especially the one from the stout man in the middle.
Unexpectedly, the palm strikes knocked these four people out of the courtyard like they were fired cannonballs, and they landed in the street.
"What fellows! Without even saying anything more, they immediately attacked. Indeed, that matches up with the character of a battle realm's people."
The others felt astonished but did not dare to say anything. The few truly strong people did not want to have anything to do with these four battle realm people, either.
Everyone knew that the people of the battle realms were battle maniacs. Once they started fighting, they would not stop until a clear victor was decided.
Furthermore, all of them had the bloodlines of ancient giants. They inherited the immense strength of these giants, and when they attacked, they did not hold back.
Even the people slightly stronger than the battle realm's people would not dare to fight with them.
"Ha ha, this girl is quite pretty. Come over here, and sit with me." At some point in time, that stout man noticed Yue Chenxi.
The stout man laughed loudly and opened his large right hand. A strong suction force appeared and instantly pulled Yue Chenxi into the air.
The surging energy was like a formless black hole. When the stout man suddenly made a move, Yue Chenxi only managed to cry out before her feet left the ground.
Xiao Chen's expression changed as he leaped up. He gently patted Yue Chenxi's shoulder with his right hand and sent out a fist wind with his left.
"Rumble...!"
The two energies clashed in the air and gave off a rumbling sound. Sonic booms rang out in the courtyard, creating a gust of wind that messed up everyone's hair.
Xiao Chen's right hand, which was placed on Yue Chenxi's shoulder, pulled her to his back. He said softly, "Stand behind me."
When the stout man saw Xiao Chen making a move, no displeasure appeared in his eyes. Instead, a fanatical look bordering on cruelty flashed in them.
The cultivators of the battle realms had two pleasures: women and combat. However, they preferred fighting to their heart's content to women.
"This fellow is done for. That stout man seems to be the second-ranked genius of the ninth battle realm, Situ Gang. He is extremely strong."
"Once a battle realm cultivator pays you any attention, it would be hard to get rid of them. There are only two options, either get beaten to death or beat them to death."
"However, most people end up beaten to death by them. They are a bunch of madmen."
Seeing that Xiao Chen caught the attention of the stout man, several people evinced schadenfreude. This was especially so for that thin man; he revealed a cold and cruel sneer on his face.
Indeed, everyone saw Situ Gang stand up and smile coldly."Since you have the guts to obstruct me, you should be prepared to die."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sonic boom rang out. Situ Gang's figure flashed in the air and arrived before Xiao Chen. His Movement Technique was not in the least fancy; it only had lightning-fast speed.
Xiao Chen's face sank as he anchored himself to the ground. He quickly circulated his Vital Qi, and in the time it took for a spark to fly, he sent out a punch.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Situ Gang pushed forward. After sending out the first punch, he continued with a second, then a third. Every time he punched, the world screamed impassionedly.
The screaming seemed to come from the ancient past; it gave off a heavy aura.
This shocked the other cultivators when they saw the punches. If they had to clash head-on with these three punches, given their physical bodies, they would be in for a bad time.
The best method of survival was to avoid these attacks and deal with them using speed and technique.
Someone sighed, "This fellow is really reckless. Instead of dodging, he unexpectedly dares to clash head-on."
When the thin man heard this, he said with disdain, "He is probably too slow. How capable can someone from the Sky Dome Realm be?"
However, what surprised everyone was that Xiao Chen received ten punches from Situ Gang. The entire courtyard shook before this puissant force, but Xiao Chen did not move at all. He was like an ancient tree rooted to the ground, as steady as a rock as he dealt with the attacks.
After Situ Gang finished the ten punches and saw that Xiao Chen was not in the miserable state that he expected, his expression turned serious. He pushed off the ground and landed back on his stone stool.
Xiao Chen's meridians, blood, bones, and marrow all trembled nonstop before that colossal force, but that was all.
Previously, Xiao Chen's bones, marrow, and meridians had been tempered by the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. After cultivating the Firmament Body Tempering Art, his meridians, blood, bones, and marrows had been tempered again. His physical body was much stronger than a regular cultivator's.
Xiao Chen circulated his energies slightly and dissipated his opponent's Quintessence. He revealed a cautious expression in his eyes, not daring to relax at all.
He estimated that this Situ Gang used only thirty percent of his strength at most. This was because Situ Gang did not pant or breathe heavily at all after those ten consecutive punches.
The people of the battle realms could not be underestimated.
The expressions of the disciples from the other branches changed slightly. They now looked at Xiao Chen, paying more attention to him.
Originally, no one minded Xiao Chen at all. Now, he gained some slight notice, giving off a stronger presence.
