Hearing bursts of cursing, Duan Dongtian’s expression turned grim. He coldly shouted at Lin Xiao below, “Lin Xiao, get up here and face your death!”
“Whoosh!” At that moment, Lin Xiao soared into the sky, his body surging with righteous energy, reaching halfway into the air. With a long spear in hand, he thrust forward with overwhelming force.
“There is righteousness in heaven and earth, the spear embodies its form!”
With a resounding shout, vast righteous energy gathered at the spear’s tip. Dazzling golden light burst forth, an unmatched force as if representing heaven and earth, shaping all things, shooting towards Duan Dongtian.
The supreme, unyielding power, wrapped in rolling righteous energy, made heaven and earth resonate, as if the void itself might shatter.
“Hmph, Duan Imperial Fist!” Seeing Lin Xiao’s attack, Duan Dongtian snorted coldly, unleashing the Duan family’s powerful martial technique. The Duan Imperial Fist blasted out, radiant light exploding, the fist’s glow resembling bamboo segments, varying in thickness, containing the power to sever everything. It seemed capable of breaking through any obstacle, carrying an unstoppable momentum, striking diagonally downward.
This strike’s might surpassed the one he used against the fifth-tier Martial Lord disciple of the Spear Dragon Sect.
Clearly, Duan Dongtian had unleashed the full power of this technique.
“Rumble!”…
A deafening thunderous roar erupted as the two forces collided. A blinding golden light burst forth, Duan Dongtian’s powerful fist glow shattered section by section, turning into a vast, sea-like wave of energy, surging in all directions.
Lin Xiao’s ethereal spear glow broke through, carrying the unmatched fluctuations from the impact, striking Duan Dongtian’s body.
“Pfft!” A mouthful of blood sprayed from Duan Dongtian’s mouth, his entire body sent flying backward.
“What?” Seeing this, the onlookers were dumbfounded, utterly shocked.
Duan Dongtian, who had swept through the fourth-tier Martial Lord disciples of the Spear Dragon Sect and even defeated a fifth-tier Martial Lord with unmatched dominance, was defeated by Lin Xiao in a single move?
Injured by a single strike from Lin Xiao?
“He actually mastered the first form of the Righteous Spear Technique!”
“Heavens, in just one month, he not only cultivated righteous power but also mastered the first form of the Righteous Spear Technique. How is his progress so fast?”
“What a monster!”
“Defeating Duan Dongtian in one move, let’s see how they can still act so arrogantly!”
The disciples of the Spear Dragon Sect were equally shocked, their faces filled with astonishment.
“Remarkable, truly remarkable!” Zhong Moyang exclaimed repeatedly.
To cultivate righteous power and the Righteous Spear Technique in just one month was unprecedented in the Spear Dragon Sect.
Compared to Zhan Lan, who took six months, this was several times faster, even surpassing the sect leader’s record.
“No wonder he’s a genius destined to surpass the sect leader. As long as Lin Xiao doesn’t fall, in a few decades, the Spear Dragon Sect will surpass other sects!” the second elder, hidden in the shadows, sighed in amazement, his face full of hope.
On the other side, Zhe Renfeng and others were stunned.
They had thought Duan Dongtian’s strength would utterly crush Lin Xiao.
Who could have imagined that in just one month, Lin Xiao’s strength had grown so terrifying, defeating Duan Dongtian with a single move?
Yang Lan and Duan Tianya’s faces froze, filled with disbelief.
“How is this possible? How could he be stronger than Dongtian…” Yang Lan was both furious and shocked, unable to accept the reality before her.
“You!” Duan Dongtian was equally shocked. Suppressing his cultivation to the seventh-tier Martial Lord level and fully unleashing the Duan Imperial Fist, he was still injured?
“How could you possess such immense power?” Duan Dongtian looked incredulous. “I refuse to believe you have even greater strength!”
“Duan Imperial Fist, Second Form!”
With a loud shout, Duan Dongtian’s aura surged, unleashing an even more powerful attack.
His fist swung, radiant golden light blooming, an overwhelmingly powerful fist glow erupting like the rolling Yangtze River, sweeping up the previous strike’s waves and energy, surging mightily towards Lin Xiao.
“Righteousness soars to the heavens, the spear forges ten thousand strikes!”
Lin Xiao’s aura surged, his fighting spirit soaring. Holding the spear with both hands, he struck heavily, vast righteous energy rolling and converging with immense righteous power into a massive, robust spear glow.
The spear glow seemed almost tangible, containing supreme, unyielding, and unparalleled righteous power, smashing fiercely into Duan Dongtian’s fist glow.
“Rumble!”
A light brighter than the sun erupted, the void seeming to tremble, waves of energy like raging seas bursting forth, the terrifying fluctuations surging towards Duan Dongtian.
Duan Dongtian was shocked, his protective energy surging, but it was too late. Like a leaf in a storm, he was sent flying far away by the immense waves.
With this strike, Duan Dongtian was defeated again.
The onlookers were shocked once more, especially the Spear Dragon Sect disciples, who were utterly astonished.
Lin Xiao had not only mastered the first form of the Righteous Spear Technique but had also cultivated the second form.
In the entire Spear Dragon Sect, only the most exceptional geniuses could master the second form, and they were few in number.
Those disciples had taken at least a year to achieve it.
Yet Lin Xiao, in just one month, went from nothing to mastering the second form.
Such talent could only be described as monstrous.
The Duan and Xing families of the Ling Sword Sect were stunned again, Yang Lan and Duan Tianya dumbfounded, unable to believe what they saw.
Duan Dongtian had lost again!
Duan Dongtian’s face was filled with disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend how Lin Xiao, at the ninth-tier Martial Venerable realm, could possess such immense combat power.
And his opponent hadn’t even used spiritual power alongside it.
Blasted hundreds of metres away, Duan Dongtian channelled the vast energy within his body. Wings of faint energy formed at his feet, generating powerful propulsion to halt his body.
Then, above his dantian, a faint earthy light bloomed, an unmatched aura radiating from him.
A crimson fist shadow emerged in the air, its terrifying pressure spreading, dominating the heavens.
The crimson fist shadow, like the fist of an unrivalled powerhouse, seemed capable of shattering the void, its fearsome pressure making heaven and earth tremble.
“An Earth-tier primary phenomenon! Duan Dongtian actually possesses an Earth-tier primary phenomenon!”
“A true super genius!”
“An Earth-tier primary crimson fist phenomenon, combined with his fist technique, its power must be immense!”
…
The crowd was shocked.
This phenomenon talent placed him among the top geniuses of the Southeast Region!
No wonder Duan Dongtian, even with suppressed cultivation, possessed such formidable combat power.
With the phenomenon unleashed, this fist technique attack was even stronger.
“Hmph, forcing Dongtian to reveal his final trump card, Lin Xiao, this time, you’re done for!” Yang Lan thought to herself.
“Lin Xiao, die! Duan Imperial Fist, Third Form!” With a cold shout, Duan Dongtian thrust his fist forward, as if pushing a mountain. The void seemed to shift, an immensely powerful force radiating, blindingly bright golden fist glow surging overwhelmingly towards Lin Xiao.
