In the arena, Ning Xuan sighed with frustration.
This only made the man who had attacked him smile even more broadly. However, the power of his technique hadn't diminished in the slightest; in fact, it was still increasing. Taking his opponent lightly was out of the question. After all, a cautionary tale was standing right before them.
BOOM!
Under the terrifying might, Ning Xuan was forced into a seated ditative posture. Without a second thought, he ford a hand seal, seemingly preparing to counter with a technique of his own.
In response, the attacker sneered. Under my profound Elent Force, even those with a Cultivation Realm several levels higher have struggled in vain. This young fellow is simply delusional!
However, the smile on his face froze a mont later. He had sohow lost his lock on Ning Xuan, even though the boy was clearly right in front of him! Realizing sothing was wrong, the man let out a low shout and thrust out his palm, its force suddenly accelerating.
A bizarre scene unfolded. His palm struck down, solidly connecting with Ning Xuan. The impact was so great that the entire Devil's Island trembled. Yet, Ning Xuan remained seated in the sa spot, completely unhard.
"Old Yun, what happened?!" soone imdiately asked, seeing the attacker staring at his own palm in disbelief.
"What's going on? Why did my attack fail? What did you do?" Old Yun stared at Ning Xuan, his face a mask of shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
Ning Xuan looked up at him with a puzzled expression and replied, "What are you talking about? Didn't you hold back because you couldn't bear to kill ?"
"You—"
Old Yun flew into a rage. But before he could finish, he saw Ning Xuan wink and imdiately understood.
"Ahaha, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive! Moting Du, this youngster is quite talented. I had a mont of weakness and couldn't bring myself to deliver the killing blow. My apologies. I will go reflect on my actions in seclusion."
No sooner had his voice faded than he had disappeared. The others present weren't fools. If he didn't leave now and was exposed in front of everyone, it would be a great embarrassnt. He had a reputation to maintain.
As for challenging Ning Xuan again? Fight my ass! I'm clearly no match for him! Since his opponent had given a way out, refusing to take it would be asking for humiliation. Worse, I was afraid he might just slap to death!
Moting Du's expression was grim. The strength of Ning Xuan's technique had far exceeded his expectations. The crucial part was that even now, he only had a vague understanding of what had happened. It seed Ning Xuan had rged with the very earth itself. Old Yun's palm had landed, but its power had been completely swallowed by the force of the earth.
In terms of sheer profundity, what could possibly compare to the power of the boundless earth itself! This fellow's techniques are truly unexpected! For a mont, Moting Du felt a great appreciation for such talent. If I could win him over, I would even be willing to…
"If I'm not mistaken, you just borrowed the power of the earth! I, Huangfu Song, may be untalented, but I would also like to lend my strength."
A man stepped forward and stomped his foot. The ground began to shake violently and burst apart. An invisible force, like hundreds of plows tilling the land simultaneously, sent the earth churning in every direction.
RUMBLE…
Amidst the roaring, it was as if giant serpents were surging toward Ning Xuan from all sides. Under this man's technique, the solidity of the earth beca as fragile as clay chickens and pottery dogs. The power of this attacker, Huangfu Song, was far greater than that of the previous one.
Ning Xuan's eyes lit up. "It seems the Demon Path does have its experts," he murmured, standing his ground.
Just as the countless attacks were about to engulf him, Ning Xuan fiercely stomped his foot.
The next mont…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of explosions filled the air. Outside the imdiate area, the crowd of Demon Path masters instinctively covered their faces with their sleeves. Just then, they heard Huangfu Song's cry of astonishnt.
"How can this be?!"
They stared intently, their blood running cold. For so unknown reason, Huangfu Song and Ning Xuan had switched places.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All of the powerful attacks Huangfu Song had unleashed now landed squarely on himself. His body trembled violently before he collapsed limply to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. What in the hell just happened?!
"Moting Du, our great elder has been killed by him! You must seek justice for us!" soone from the Huangfu family cried out amidst sobs.
Ning Xuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and Huangfu Song's body flew through the air.
The next mont, a joyful voice exclaid, "Great Elder, you're alive?!"
Huangfu Song's irritated voice followed. "What, were you all hoping I was dead?!" He sounded perfectly vigorous.
Instantly, many eyes turned back to Ning Xuan, and their minds began to churn. This guy's techniques looked intimidating, but their actual power didn't seem all that impressive.
Imdiately, soone prepared to step forward, but Moting Du's voice transmission echoed in his mind. "Kid, do you have a death wish?!"
The man was unconvinced. "Moting Du, Ning Xuan's strength isn't that great! I can beat him."
"Beat him? Don't make laugh! Who do you think you are? If you actually focused on your training instead of slacking off, you wouldn't be so blind! Can't you see that Ning Xuan's control over power has reached the point of perfection?"
Moting Du was furious. The only reason Huangfu Song wasn't seriously injured was because Ning Xuan showed rcy. He had used Huangfu Song's own technique against him but controlled it so perfectly that it only caused superficial wounds. This required not only the ultimate control over power but also a level of strength that far surpassed Huangfu Song's.
Damn it, what kind of monster is this guy! His Cultivation is clearly only at the Third Layer Heavens of the Venerable Realm, yet even a Fifth Layer Heavens expert like Huangfu Song is like a child before him! And on top of it all, he's supposedly restricted by the Saint-Sealing Curtain!
Moting Du was utterly shaken. At the sa ti, the decision forming in his mind grew even more resolute. However, now was not the ti.
"Taishu Ming, you go!" Moting Du spoke indifferently, once again deploying his forces.
At this, many looked at him in confusion, believing it to be an unnecessary move. After all, Taishu Ming was an old-generation powerhouse from the Taishu family. Was it really necessary to send him against soone who couldn't even seriously injure Huangfu Song?
Taishu Ming, however, wore a solemn expression as he stepped forward. While others couldn't see the anomaly, he knew how dangerous the situation was. This Ning Xuan's strength doesn't match his Realm at all! If it weren't for the restriction of the Saint-Sealing Curtain, few people here would be his match!
Approaching Ning Xuan, the white-haired Taishu Ming appeared remarkably humble. "My na is Taishu Ming. I specialize in fist techniques. I ask for your guidance, Sir."
At the sa ti, he pushed the Elent Force within his body to its absolute peak. Facing Ning Xuan, he dared not be the least bit careless.
Ning Xuan, however, still wore the sa nonchalant expression as before. With a harmless smile on his face, he said, "Go ahead, Elder."
Without any hesitation, Taishu Ming struck.
BOOM!
His fist flew, and thunder roared. The very void seed to crack under the force of his punch. It was like a raging tsunami bursting forth, its might shaking heaven and earth. This punch was indomitable and suprely domineering.
Ning Xuan's eyes brightened. He had no intention of dodging. Instead, he threw a punch of his own.
It was the long-unused Tyrant Annihilation Fist.
Not far away, a Demon Path expert laughed.
