The azure handprint tore through the air, roaring and crushing everything in its path!
"So powerful! As expected of a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer!"
"With this palm strike, Luo Cheng will undoubtedly be severely injured!"
"Let’s see how he dares to act arrogant now!"
Witnessing Yan Qi’s attack, the disciples of the Crown Prince Hall all had excited looks in their eyes.
Essence Energy projected outward to kill an enemy from a distance; separated by dozens of steps, the handprint’s might was still so overwhelming. Such was the technique of a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist!
Any Tongxuan Realm First Layer Martial Artist would find it impossible to easily withstand such a strike.
And Luo Cheng had only just broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.
"Essence Energy projected outward? Truly strong."
If this had been three days ago, Luo Cheng would have had no choice but to desperately use Mist Shadow Step to avoid the attack, or else risk falling into an utterly passive situation.
But now, there was no need for such trouble.
Essence Energy trembled as Luo Cheng threw a punch.
With a *boom*, the azure handprint disintegrated completely, leaving only rippling waves in the air.
Yan Qi’s pupils contracted in shock:
"Tongxuan Realm First Layer, Middle Stage!"
The Martial Arts Square, after a brief silence, erupted into an uproar.
"Did I hear that right? Luo Cheng has already reached the Tongxuan Realm First Layer, Middle Stage!"
"This is unbelievable! In just three days, not only did he ascend to the Tongxuan Realm, but he also broke through to the First Layer, Middle Stage!"
"No wonder he could block Yan Qi’s strike!"
The crowd was dumbstruck, unable to believe their eyes.
Sitting in the front rows of the audience, Ren Xiaoguang was slightly startled, nearly biting his own tongue.
He had only seen Luo Cheng at the Dan dicine Pavilion yesterday and distinctly rembered that Luo Cheng had not yet broken through to the Tongxuan Realm. He had even mocked him then.
Could it be that Luo Cheng managed to ascend to the Tongxuan Realm and reach the Tongxuan Realm First Layer, Middle Stage in just a single day?
This was absolutely impossible!
Qi Guyun took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on Luo Cheng, his eyes glowing coldly: "Thankfully, my cousin prepared thoroughly. Today, you’re destined to die!"
After showing a trace of emotion, Qi Guyun’s expression returned to normal.
That earlier strike from Yan Qi hadn’t been serious at all.
Besides, Jin Min had given Yan Qi a trump card!
Qi Guyun was utterly confident in this fight and didn’t believe Luo Cheng could stir up any waves.
"How could this guy break through so quickly!"
In the VIP seats, Qin Douyuan clenched his fist tightly, his expression dark as night.
He had thought Luo Cheng would be crushed like an ant by Yan Qi’s palm, but he hadn’t foreseen this twist.
Qin Douyuan and Luo Cheng’s grudges already ran deep. The stronger Luo Cheng grew, the more unsettled Qin Douyuan’s heart beca.
anwhile, the Fifth Elder appeared highly pleased, gazing at Luo Cheng with a smile: "He’s already broken through to the Tongxuan Realm First Layer, Middle Stage. This young man is truly unexpected. It seems this battle might take a surprising turn."
Qin Douyuan snorted coldly: "There won’t be any surprises! Yan Qi is in the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer. If he goes all out, Luo Cheng will have no chance whatsoever—only a dead end!"
The Fifth Elder simply glanced at Qin Douyuan without comnting further.
On the stage.
Luo Cheng’s clothes billowed as he gazed at Yan Qi: "Show your full strength!"
"Arrogance!"
Yan Qi roared in anger and sneered coldly: "Don’t think that just because you blocked one of my strikes, you’re on equal footing with ! That was rely a probe; I didn’t even use fifty percent of my power!"
"To kill you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken or a dog! But don’t expect to die so easily! Crossing the Crown Prince Hall ans death will be a rcy! I’ll personally disassemble every bone in your body, so you’ll beg for life yet yearn for death!"
Luo Cheng’s calm deanor completely ignited Yan Qi’s fury, who continued to sneer with malice.
Luo Cheng raised his brow, his tone indifferent: "Kill as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs? Then go ahead—I’ll shatter your arrogance, piece by piece."
"Courting death!"
Yan Qi exploded in rage, his aura surging as he thrust his palms out in rapid succession, his strikes blasting outward from afar.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
Dozens of face-sized azure handprints, solid and tangible, swept across the arena like a tide, crashing toward Luo Cheng.
In an instant, Luo Cheng’s figure completely disappeared beneath the onslaught of handprints.
"Hmph! Let’s see your arrogance now!"
Yan Qi chuckled coldly.
This ti, he hadn’t held back.
Even a Tongxuan Realm First Layer Martial Artist at the peak couldn’t block such an attack. At best, they’d be crippled if not outright killed!
Witnessing this scene, Chen Lingyu and the others involuntarily held their breath, their palms slick with cold sweat.
And then, in the next mont—
"Gathering Qi and Condensing Tripod!"
A soft command echoed, and the air suddenly solidified. A massive, semi-illusory Essence Energy Cauldron appeared on the stage.
The cauldron stood taller than a person, with three legs and two ears. Its ancient and solemn aura projected stability across the entire arena!
With his breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm, Luo Cheng’s Primordial Energy Quality and Quantity had skyrocketed, allowing the Heavenly Cauldron Fist to unleash its true potential!
*Bang, bang, bang, bang...*
In an instant, the incoming azure handprints shattered against the cauldron, sending shockwaves across the Martial Arts Square that stirred up gales.
"He blocked it again!"
"With just one punch, he dismantled Yan Qi’s entire offensive!"
The crowd was left in awe, unable to recover.
The mbers of the Crown Prince Hall turned red with suppressed anger, choking back the cheers that had almost spilled out.
"What a mystical Realm! What kind of Fist Technique is this?"
The Fifth Elder couldn’t help but feel astonished. When Luo Cheng threw his punch, he seed as immovable as a mountain, giving off an impression of towering supremacy!
With the handprints shattered, Luo Cheng advanced step by step toward Yan Qi:
"Whatever other techniques you have, use them all. This will be your last chance."
Yan Qi’s face turned ashen; Luo Cheng’s strength had caught him off guard.
"I’ll see how many strikes you can endure! Green Fallen Palm!"
With a furious roar, Yan Qi pushed his Essence Energy to the limit. Behind him appeared the phantasmal silhouette of a Five-star monster fish Martial Soul. His palms struck continuously, transforming into wave after wave of erald handprints, each imbued with tenfold power, aiming to annihilate Luo Cheng on the spot.
"Break!"
Luo Cheng’s gaze remained calm as he drew his sword from its sheath, the blade trembling lightly.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
The ethereal sword light flickered unpredictably, stirring the air. With every thrust of his blade, multiple handprints disintegrated.
"Let’s end this..."
Finding this tireso battle dull, Luo Cheng swiftly dispatched several additional handprints before his figure accelerated abruptly, disappearing in an instant.
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, multiple versions of Luo Cheng appeared on the arena, creating an overlapping cascade of images that were impossible to distinguish. In a blink, he closed the gap with Yan Qi.
"Shadow Following! This is the Five-star Body Technique, Mist Shadow Step! It’s already at the Small Accomplishnt Realm!" Soone gasped in shock.
At that very mont, a dazzling sword light burst forth in Yan Qi’s vision.
"No!"
Yan Qi’s expression shifted to utter panic as his scalp tingled. With no way to escape, all he could do was push his Essence Energy to its limits.
*Squelch!*
The longsword was like a collapsing mountain, piercing through Yan Qi’s Protective Essence Energy and aiming directly to impale him.
Suddenly—
*Clang!*
The sound of tal clashing rang out. The teor Sword struck near his clothing but could go no further. It bent, then sprung back with force.
*Pow!*
Yan Qi was sent flying backward more than ten ters, blood trickling down his lips.
Luo Cheng was also forced a few steps back, and his gaze shifted upward.
Under the overwhelming force, Yan Qi’s clothes had been shredded, revealing a layer of green-purple soft armor beneath. On the chest of the armor was a shallow sword mark.
At this mont, a radiant glow flowed from the green-purple soft armor, forming a shimring crystal-like shield around Yan Qi with three luminous stars sparkling brightly!
"A Three-star Treasure!"
