Chapter 232

“You’re courting death!” Ye Liuyun waved his hand and unsheathed his sword. The moment Ye Liuyun held onto his sword, a powerful gale swept out and targeted Lin Yun.

“Break!” Lin Yun threw out a punch, combining his sword into his fist. Along with a dragon and tiger roar, his fist shattered the incoming gale.

“The Dragon-Tiger Fist?” Ye Liuyun sneered. “You want to fight me with that half-baked Dragon-Tiger Fist of yours? How impudent! I, Ye Liuyun, will be claiming your head today! STARLIGHT”

Ye Liuyun soared into the sky with a cold gleam reflected from his sword, and the tip of his sword exploded with dazzling light. With a flash, the Life-Death Stage plunged into darkness with the radiance from Ye Liuyun’s sword shining like the star. It was truly worthy of being a transcendent profound martial technique. Everyone was shocked the moment Ye Liuyun attacked.

They all felt that there wouldn’t be any suspense in this battle. Among the profound martial techniques, the difference in grades was enormous, and the Breakingstar Sword Art was one of the best even among transcendent profound martial techniques.

Under the exclamation from the surrounding, the sword shot towards Lin Yun like a meteor.

“You call that Starlight?” There was a pair of crimson eyes in the darkness that belonged to Lin Yun. His body was like a beautiful jade, which could be faintly seen in the darkness. Lin Yun was wondering how strong the Dragon-Tiger Fist would be by combining the perfect Thunderblitz Battle Physique and his origin energy that the age energy had refined. He was filled with expectation for it.

Dragon-Tiger Might!

The Iris Flower blossomed in his Dantian, with his origin energy surging, and the roars of dragon and tiger could be heard. Lin Yun’s aura rose, and he stepped forth, pushing back the sword aura from Ye Liuyun. But Lin Yun was trembling with his forehead covered in sweat. His hands were trembling, trying to form seals. The origin energy within his body frantically compressed like a volcano that was about to erupt.

However, Lin Yun knew that it wasn’t enough. With a roar, blood started to ooze out from his skin despite having the perfect Thunderblitz Battle Physique.

“Undying Vajra Seal!” When Lin Yun finally formed the seals, a bright radiance exploded that expelled the darkness enveloping the Life-Death Stage. At the same time, violent energy from the seal collided with the sword.

“What powerful shockwave!”

“I can’t see anything. What’s going on?”

“It doesn’t make any sense. Lin Yun should’ve lost…” No one had expected that a single move could create such terrifying aftermath, which left everyone shocked. Most importantly, they couldn’t see anything with the cloud of dust.

When the cloud of dust finally settled down, everyone was shocked by what they saw. Lin Yun’s clothes were ripped, with sword wounds left on his body. However, he still stood towering with his eyes shining brightly.

On the other hand, Ye Liuyun’s face was pale, supporting himself on the ground with one hand and his sword stuck into the ground.

They were evenly matched? The Sword Firmament Pavilion’s transcendent profound martial technique was evenly matched with Lin Yun’s half-baked Dragon-Tiger Fist? This outcome made everyone feel unacceptable.

“What’s going on?” Leng Mo was shocked standing beside Wang Yan. Even the Eight Vajra had locked their brows tightly.

“Ye Liuyun, how does it feel?” Lin Yun laughed. “Come, again!”

Lin Yun’s fists were tightly clenched. He was still under the empowerment of the Undying Vajra Seal. The origin energy around his body fluctuated, and he charged at Ye Liuyun.

“Impudent!” Ye Liuyun wiped the blood off his lips and roared, charging at Lin Yun with his sword.

Lin Yun had infused his sword intent into his fist, which surged like a violet wave. Although he was using his fist, it was more ferocious than the sword. He was using his fist as his sword. Even Ye Liuyun, who had cultivation comparable to the fourth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, couldn’t hold any advantage in this battle under his attacks. He couldn’t suppress Lin Yun no matter how he tried.

Everyone was shocked. They were expecting that Ye Liuyun would overwhelm Lin Yun, but the two were fighting back and forth. Furthermore, Lin Yun was holding a slight advantage if anyone observed carefully. They were shocked by how refined Lin Yun’s origin energy was.

Lin Yun and Ye Liuyun were already exchanging their twentieth move in the blink of an eye, which created a loud rumble along with a cloud of dust rising in the sky. Ye Liuyun’s hand trembled, and he retreated a few hundred meters away from the center of impact. On the other hand, Lin Yun only took ten steps back. Right at this moment, everyone noticed the advantage that Lin Yun had in his physique.

“DIE! STAR SLASHER!” A trace of ferocity flashed in Ye Liuyun’s eyes. He soared into the sky and charged over.

“DRAGON-TIGER STEPS!” Lin Yun did not wait for Ye Liuyun to come over and charged over as well. When Lin Yun charged forth, the dragon and tiger’s images could be vaguely seen, alternating between the tiger and dragon steps.

In the past, Lin Yun had to struggle to execute the Dragon-Tiger Steps. But now, he could use it easily as he wishes. There were nine steps in total, but it looked like he reached Ye Liuyun with a single step to the audience. When he finished taking the ninth step, the dragon and tiger images appeared on Lin Yun simultaneously.

A powerful aura rose from Lin Yun’s body, who gave everything he had along with the Undying Vajra Seal’s remnant power. The dragon and tiger manifested before turning into a crimson light and poured into Lin Yun’s fist.

Ye Liuyun tried to retaliate with his sword, but he failed to break Lin Yun’s attack. On the other hand, he was sent flying by Lin Yun’s fist.

“W-w-what? His origin energy is stronger than mine?” Ye Liuyun had a trace of shock flickering through his eyes. He never expected that not only would he not have any advantage, but he was in the disadvantageous position instead.

The fist that could shatter the mountain faced with the sword that could cut down the star. Explosions began to ring out on the stage repeatedly, turning countless tiles on the ground into fragments. The Life-Death Stage instantly became a mess.

Lin Yun suddenly soared into the sky and executed Soaring Dragon from the Dragon-Tiger Fist, further empowered by the Sky Breaking Seal. The stage began to tremble with fragments flying around. But Lin Yun’s fist seemed to have even stopped time when he threw it forth. “SKY BREAKING SEAL!”

Ye Liuyun’s face changed. That was the Sky Breaking Seal that belonged to the Heavenly Profound Sect. So how did Lin Yun learn it? Ye Liuyun instantly felt as though he plunged into the quicksand and couldn’t use his movement technique.

Lin Yun roared and threw another fist forth, Pouncing Tiger. His left fist that he had been accumulating power bolted on with the image of a tiger crossing the mountains and rivers. With the empowerment of the Sky Breaking Seal, the tiger and dragon reflected upon each other. The sky began to change color upon their presence, and even the dust and tile fragments flying around were completely crushed.

The Dragon-Tiger Fist famous throughout the Great Qin Empire was fully displayed in Lin Yun’s hands. The stage was suddenly clean all of a sudden without a speck of dust. It was as though someone had cleaned up the Life-Death Stage.

But the scene of Ye Liuyun throwing out a mouthful of blood on the stage was shocking. No one had expected that the battle would turn out this way. No one had anticipated that the ferocious Lin Yun who killed Wang Ning and dominated everyone in the Nine-Star Contest would know such a powerful fist technique.

Liu Yue’s face was pale beneath the stage. This wasn’t what she wanted. The one who should be throwing out blood on the ground should be Lin Yun instead.

“Damn it! How is he so powerful? Did he really refine all the spiritual jades he got from Liu Yue? Tens of thousands of spiritual jades, just what sort of cultivation technique does he have to consume all that?!” Fu Guang’s voice was trembling.

Liu Yue nearly threw out a mouthful of blood when she heard Fu Guang’s words. Did Lin Yun really use her spiritual jades to become so powerful?

“The Sky Breaking Seal… But even if it’s the Sky Breaking Seal, it can’t be so powerful!” Ye Liuyun muttered to himself while he struggled to get up. His hair was in a complete mess at this moment; he looked like a madman instead.

“Ye Liuyun, I’ve already said that I don’t need to draw my sword to defeat you,” Lin Yun replied. Just fifteen minutes ago, everyone was still laughing when Lin Yun said that. But who dares to laugh at him now?
