Chapter 74
The old man curled his fingers into a claw.
Then he lunged straight for Gu Yang’s chest, his terrifying true essence surging like an invading army.
Even the air seed to shred under its pressure.
Gu Yang didn’t flinch. He raised his fist and smashed it forward.
Whoosh!
Golden light burst forth.
At the sa ti, a profound wave of fist intent surged silently, pouring into Gu Yang’s right fist.
But this ti, it wasn’t forty percent.
It was…
Fifty percent!
Forty percent fist intent had already shown weakness against a fourth-level Core Embrace cultivator.
Now he faced a sixth-level powerhouse.
Forty percent wouldn’t cut it.
Fifty percent fist intent fused with the Subduing Demon Vajra Fist and exploded outward.
His fist collided with the old man’s claw.
Boom!
Terrifying power clashed violently.
The impact ford a storm, kicking up stones across the ground.
Rumble!
The shockwave blasted both of them apart.
They each retreated ten ters.
After that exchange…
They were evenly matched.
If one had to judge—
Gu Yang had stepped back half a pace more.
A slight disadvantage.
Liu Tianxiang stared in shock.
He had wondered why Gu Yang chose fists over sword intent.
Now he understood.
Gu Yang’s comprehension of fist intent improved again!?
His eyes widened in disbelief.
On the other side, the old man nearly popped his eyeballs.
What had he just seen?
That brat…
He was only sixth-level Essence Condensation, yet he had grasped fifty percent fist intent!?
And he blocked that strike!?
The old man was sixth-level Core Embrace!
A full major realm above!
What kind of freak is this!?
The old man narrowed his eyes.
“You’re Gu Yang!?”
He had paid attention to the Genius Ranking.
The mont he sensed sothing off about Gu Yang’s strength, he connected the dots to the newly erged prodigy from Haonan Province—Gu Yang!
“Correct. But sadly, no prize.”
Gu Yang smiled.
“How interesting. Four Genius Ranking prodigies in one day.”
“Hahaha! Interesting! Truly interesting!”
“I enjoy slaughtering geniuses.”
“Especially freaks like you!”
A savage grin twisted across the old man’s face.
Gu Yang had revealed fifty percent fist intent and matched him evenly.
But he hadn’t shown his trump card yet.
Gu Yang…
Was no match for him.
Even if Gu Yang had grasped forty percent sword intent, he still wouldn’t stand a chance.
The gap between major realms…
Wasn’t sothing easily crossed.
The old man’s true essence erupted again.
But this ti—
He didn’t clash head-on.
Instead, he launched a second strike, condensing another massive true essence hand.
This one was darker, heavier, and far more nacing than before.
Gu Yang narrowed his eyes.
No doubt the old man had learned a martial technique that enhanced true essence constructs.
Otherwise, a normal sixth-level Core Embrace cultivator couldn’t summon sothing this exaggerated.
“Die!”
The old man snorted coldly.
With a thought, the massive hand lunged toward Gu Yang.
Gu Yang didn’t dodge.
He planted his feet in a horse stance.
Then swung his right fist.
He intended to clash head-on again.
The old man sneered.
“Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Courting death!”
He activated the hand.
It descended from the sky, slamming toward Gu Yang.
Gu Yang struck.
Golden light flared.
Fist intent surged silently.
The old man assud Gu Yang would use fifty percent again.
But the next mont—
His eyes bulged.
It wasn’t fifty percent!
The fist intent on Gu Yang’s arm…
Was sixty percent!
Impossible!
The old man’s face twisted in shock.
His heart trembled.
How could this be!?
Sixty percent fist intent…
Could a sixth-level Essence Condensation brat really comprehend that!?
Sixty percent was already peak minor mastery!
This punch—
Was leagues beyond fifty percent.
Boom!
Gu Yang’s fist collided with the massive hand.
Another terrifying shockwave erupted.
But this ti—
Gu Yang didn’t budge.
Power poured out like a flood.
Boom!
The massive true essence hand shattered into dust!
On the other side—
The old man’s face turned pale. A sweet taste rose in his throat.
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
But he couldn’t care about his injuries.
He stared at Gu Yang in horror.
Monster! Absolute monster!
This guy… isn’t human!
Who grasps such terrifying power at sixth-level Essence Condensation!?
How do you fight that!?
You don’t!
The old man wasn’t stupid.
He couldn’t win.
So he ran.
Forget pride.
He was about to die—what use was pride?
His true essence erupted as he activated his movent technique.
Gu Yang sneered.
He activated his own movent technique.
He closed the distance instantly.
Then raised his fist.
Sixty percent fist intent exploded again as he struck the old man’s back.
The old man panicked and summoned his true essence to defend.
But if even his giant hand couldn’t withstand Gu Yang’s punch—
How could a re shield?
Crack!
The shield shattered like glass.
Gu Yang’s fist didn’t slow.
It slamd into the old man’s abdon.
“Puh!”
The old man flew backward, mouth agape in pain.
Blood sprayed from his lips.
His aura collapsed instantly.
“Don’t push !”
His voice weakened.
But he locked eyes with Gu Yang, madness flickering within.
“If I must die today, I’ll take you with !”
“One worthless life for yours… worth it!”
Seeing no escape—
He stopped running.
He gritted his teeth as his aura began to shift.
“Secret technique… explode!”
He roared.
His robes burst apart.
His emaciated body erged.
Then his skin cracked open—
Blood oozed from fresh wounds.
His body began to burn, steam rising from his blood.
His aura surged higher and higher.
Until it reached—
Seventh-level Core Embrace Realm!
His cultivation rose.
His eyes turned crimson.
He locked onto Gu Yang.
“I’ll kill you!”
He roared, his speed multiplying.
In a flash, he appeared before Gu Yang.
