Chapter 149 - Wuyun the Strongest
On the arena stage, the shadows of figures flew around without end. Three figures intertwined with each other and flew apart at the same time. Wave after wave of energy rippled out, causing everyone"s faces to hurt!However, no one was aware of this. They were all dumbstruck as they watched the battle on the stage. At this moment, besides shock, everyone was shocked!
Atop the stage, Xiang Yun was facing two enemies at once. While no one was looking at him favorably, he was actually able to block Xie Hong"s and Yuan swan"s sharp attacks all by himself!
When the three of them had first started fighting, under the pincer attack from the two people, Xiang Yun had indeed appeared somewhat fl.u.s.tered, unable to fight back. He was at a disadvantage everywhere!But as time pa.s.sed, not only did Xiang Yun not lose, he actually became more and more valiant as the battle progressed. He had actually forcefully withstood the attacks of the two.
Moreover, the latter possessed a mystical movement technique that allowed her to freely and agilely fight between the two.He had completely blocked the attacks of the two men. In fact, he even had the chance to counterattack, which posed quite a threat to them!
Fortunately, Xie Hong"s cultivation was deep and he had rich combat experience. He had neutralized Xiang Yun"s sudden attacks time and time again, forcing Xiang Yun back. However, the two of them were still shocked by Xiang Yun"s shocking combat strength!
In the end, the two of them unleashed their most powerful martial skills. Yuan Zhi once again unleashed the Coiling Snake Hands, launching an attack on Xiang Yun.
Xie Hong, on the other hand, performed a strange technique. Initially, the power of this technique was mediocre. In fact, it was even weaker than Yuan swan"s Coiling Serpent Hands.However, the most amazing thing was that as Xie Hong continued to execute his punching routine, the power of his punches kept on stacking up!
Facing the two"s sharp martial skill, Xiang Yun directly used Tiger Claws to fight back. With his movement technique of a gecko, he was able to move between the two of them with ease.
There was even one time when he almost tore Yuan Hua off the stage with his claw, causing the crowd in the arena to exclaim in shock.
However, as time pa.s.sed, Xiang Yun suddenly discovered that the black and short Xie Hong"s fists were growing in strength and speed!
At first, he could still take things lightly, but after a series of collisions, he gradually felt that the pressure on his hands was getting bigger and bigger. Later on, he even felt that his fingers were going numb.Even though the power of the Tiger Claw Jue Hu"s attack was extraordinary, it was unable to withstand Xie Hong"s steel-like fist!
Only now did Xiang Yun realize that Xie Hong had already entered a mystical state. As he waved his fists, the meaning of his fists flowed out like a torrential flood, unstoppable!"Could it be …" Xiang Yun had already guessed at a possibility.
At this moment, Xie Hong spoke up at the same time!
"Your Highness, you"ve lost!"
"Oh?" Xiang Yun looked at Xie Hong, who was already running like a bolt of lightning. The latter"s swarthy face was filled with confidence and certainty!
"Your Highness, my fist art is called "Rushing Thunder Fist". My fist art"s power is like a surging torrent, able to flow for a thousand miles in one go. If there"s no obstruction, then my punch will be stronger than my punch."
"Now that I"ve completed my eighteenth punch, the next punch will be the last one I can use. Only a half-step master of the Yellow Cloud Realm would be able to withstand it. Your Highness, you won"t be able to receive this punch!""Rushing Thunder Fist!"
This fist technique was a top grade Yellow Cloud martial skill. It was incomparably profound, and the reason why it could not be promoted to a Profound Rank was because of this.
It was all because the Rushing Thunder Fist had a process of acc.u.mulating power. It was difficult to superimpose the power of the fist in actual combat, and it required a strict physical body to execute it.
This was why this martial skill was named as a Yellow Rank martial skill, otherwise it would definitely be ranked among Profound Rank martial skills!
However, Xie Hong had already stacked the power of his eighteenth punch to the extent that it was comparable to the full power of a peak Seven Cloud martial pract.i.tioner. Judging from Xiang Yun"s current display of strength, it was still impossible for him to withstand this punch!
However, Xiang Yun was completely unmoved as he laughed coldly."Hehe, I"ve never tried. How do you know I can"t withstand your punch? Don"t tell me you want to bluff and scare me?"
"Your Highness!" Xie Hong was in a bit of a dilemma. This punch of his was already like an arrow that had to be fired. However, if Xiang Yun were to forcefully take it, it would be inevitable that he would be injured. This caused him to hesitate!
Xiang Yun clearly saw the latter"s hesitation, and said with feigned contempt.
"Humph, you motherf * cker, how are you going to be my family"s guard? Don"t tell me the members of your second squad all have soft bones with mouths that are harder than fists!"
The expression on the faces of the members of Squad Two changed as soon as they heard these words. A trace of anger could be seen on their faces. Xie Hong and Yuan swan, who were standing on the stage, felt an indescribable sense of anger!
They were all born in the northwest of the Wind and Cloud Country. They lived freely in the valiant northwest continent, and respected the strong as masters.
Even though he was a guard of the crown prince"s residence and was Xiang Yun"s subordinate, they could not bear the humiliation of Xiang Yun questioning their strength!
"Alright, Your Highness, since you"re so confident, take this punch of mine!"
Xie Hong immediately stopped suppressing the fist intent, allowing it to burst forth with an intimidating aura!
The latter"s footsteps were heavy and swift, each step was as heavy as a mountain, leaving behind footprints in the arena.
At the same time, Yuan swan also released his strongest attack. His right arm formed a claw, and a sharp and malicious aura suddenly rose up.His body was like a coiled snake that had suddenly shot out of the water. Together with Xie Hong, he charged toward Xiang Yun!
At this moment, the two of them had unleashed their strongest attacks. Wherever they pa.s.sed by, wind howled like thunder, bringing along an illusionary illusory airflow that wrapped around the two of them!
At this moment, everyone below the arena involuntarily took a step back, while Captain You moved in the direction behind Xiang Yun.
He knew that no matter what the Crown Prince did, he wouldn"t be able to block this attack. He had to rescue him as soon as possible.On the arena stage, facing the simultaneous outburst of the two men"s full power attack and feeling the strong oppressive feeling from the oncoming attack, Xiang Yun"s arms began to tremble slightly!
Of course, he was not afraid, but excited. He was filled with antic.i.p.ation and he was waiting for this moment!
"Come at me!"
Xiang Yun actually let out a roar, his body sinking deeper and deeper into the ground, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back. He faced Xie Hong and Yuan swan, who had already arrived in front of him.Xiang Yun did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forwards, as if he were a hero opening the mountain. His single step actually caused the ground beneath his feet to crack open with a twisting motion!
The next moment, Xie Hong"s 19th punch met Yuan swan"s sharp claw head-on. His fist caused the air to distort wherever it pa.s.sed. This was a display of extreme power.
Xiang Yun"s right foot suddenly exerted force. A powerful force pa.s.sed from his leg up, from his waist, through his back, chest, and directly into Xiang Yun"s arms!
At the same time, the dragon-shaped cloud energy that had been flowing through Xiang Yun"s body rushed out of his dantian. It split in half and abruptly charged through his meridians, following Xiang Yun"s arms!
"Heavenly Dragon"s true qi, help me!"
At this moment, the muscles on Xiang Yun"s fists suddenly tensed up as a majestic force abruptly surged forth!In a split-second, waves of Qi surged out as two invisible forces wrapped around Xiang Yun"s fists, brazenly colliding with the incoming person!
"Ang!"As the three of them collided, a sound like a dragon"s roar faintly reverberated between heaven and earth!
In the blink of an eye, everyone saw Xiang Yun stagger backwards, while Xie Hong and Yuan swan simultaneously began to tremble, spitting out mouthfuls of blood as they flew backwards, falling onto the stage!
"Hiss!"Seeing this scene unfold in front of him, the mind of the team leader shook violently. He couldn"t help but mutter, "What a strong fist intent. Could this be the Large Success stage of Body Tempering?"
A body pract.i.tioner had a limit. If a martial artist was pure, they would never be able to step into the Yellow Cloud Realm. However, if they could reach the Large Success Stage in Body Tempering, then they would be able to suppress a Seven Cloud martial artist, called the Yellow Cloud martial artist!"Be strong!"
"How is that possible? Your Highness, you"ve actually defeated Xie Hong and Yuan Fan!"
The other members of the guard were also shocked. No one had expected Xiang Yun to not only take Xie Hong and Yuan Fan"s strongest blow, but to send them flying as well!
For a while, many people were thinking, "If Captain You were to fight with His Highness, could he be a match for His Highness?"
At this moment, everyone"s eyes were focused on the high platform. The young man standing steadily on the edge of the arena had finally removed the recoil from his body and stood firmly!
The latter was not considered tall, and even appeared somewhat thin. However, at this moment, in the eyes of the crowd, the Crown Prince"s figure had actually become extremely tall, causing a sense of respect to rise in their hearts.In the past, everyone"s respect for him stemmed mostly from his status, but at this moment, they truly did respect Xiang Yun"s strength!
"Hu!"
Xiang Yun let out a long breath, and the dragon-shaped cloud energy within his body began to circulate through his entire body.
A warm feeling cleared up all the discomfort in his body. Finally, the divine dragon returned to his dantian and started to hover and hibernate again!
Xiang Yun"s expression was calm, but his heart was unable to calm down!
"If that"s the case, then as the system says, after cultivating the Heavenly Dragon"s true qi, one can become invincible within the same cultivation realm!"
Although Xiang Yun was only at the Five Cloud Realm, the same Five Cloud Realm was also divided into different grades!
Just like the scholars in the imperial examinations, some of them were able to partic.i.p.ate in the hometown examination, some were able to partic.i.p.ate in the convention examination, and some were able to partic.i.p.ate in the palace examination. This was the difference between their levels.
However, if they were to partic.i.p.ate in the same Hall Compet.i.tion, the top scholar, who wore a laurel crown on his head, as well as the top scorer and the flower scout, the three of them would be able to laugh proudly at their peers.
As for the others, they were only able to be placed in the rank of Scholars. There were even pitiful fellow Scholars at the back of the Red List.If Xiang Yun was considered to be at the Five Cloud Realm, then Xiang Yun currently possessed Heavenly Dragon"s true energy and was qualified to be in the top three rankings!
After a while, Xiang Yun gradually calmed the excitement in his heart as he surveyed the surroundings of the battle stage, finally speaking to Captain You."Take the two of them to the medicine room to recuperate and report everything you"ve taken. The four people on the stage just now have been rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"
"Ah, yes!" Captain You was still in a daze, but Xiang Yun had already stepped down from the stage, heading towards the distant martial arena!
