In the air, purple qi shrouded Ye Qiu’s whole body. Almost in a blink, his wounds healed.
He heard the exclamations around him.
“Break through a realm, and gain fortune upon him too?”
Ye Qiu felt a bit surprised. At this moment, he only felt warmth all over his body. No fatigue from crossing the tribulation lingered.
Then, he took a fresh white robe from his Qiankun Bag and changed into it. He stood in the air, like a god king.
A moment later.
The purple qi faded.
Tuoba Xiong and An Ruoxi readied to strike. Unexpectedly, Pei Gang moved first.
“Thud!”
Pei Gang stepped out. In an instant, he closed to less than a hundred metres from Ye Qiu. Then he stared at Ye Qiu and said, “I never thought you truly succeeded. Shame, you just stepped into Cave Heaven peak. Your realm unsteady yet. You are no match for me.”
Who knew, Ye Qiu stood in the air. From on high, he looked down at Pei Gang and said, “Crawl over and kneel. Knock three loud heads. Then beg Grandpa for mercy. Today, I spare you.”
These words were utterly arrogant. To make Pei Gang kneel and call him grandpa. It smacked of overreach.
Yet no one at the scene mocked Ye Qiu. A genius who leaped a whole major realm from Golden Core peak to Cave Heaven peak held capital to boast.
Pei Gang heard this. Rage greened his face. He cursed, “I see you seek death.”
“Grandson, crawl over. I send you on your way.” Ye Qiu’s words dripped scorn.
Pei Gang could bear no more. He gripped his copper hammer and charged at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu laughed. “I told you to crawl over, and you do. Such an obedient good grandson.”
“Die!” Pei Gang roared in fury. His copper hammer smashed out. Like a thunder cloud, it blotted sky and sun. Momentum utterly terrifying.
One must know, Pei Gang’s copper hammer weighed thirty-eight thousand jin. Now in anger, he struck. Power more than doubled.
Yet faced with his attack, Ye Qiu’s face showed no ripple.
“I crossed here to sample you geniuses’ top moves. Hope you do not disappoint me.”
After Ye Qiu spoke, brilliant golden light rose from his body. Like a volcano erupted. Boiling fight intent filled him head to toe.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu punched out. Fearsome fist force swept the long sky at once.
At this sight, many at the scene cried out.
“What? He uses fist against Pei Gang’s copper hammer?”
“Does he not know Pei Gang’s hammer weighs tens of thousands of jin?”
“This lad is a fool. Fist against that. Is he not courting death?”
Even Pei Gang thought so.
“Hmph, fist against my hammer. You are dead…”
Boom!
Before Pei Gang’s smugness ended, Ye Qiu’s fist carried raging wave power. It smashed over.
“Scram!” Pei Gang bellowed. He swung his hammer fast to meet Ye Qiu’s fist.
Boom.
Copper hammer and fist clashed at once. Pei Gang flew back like a cannonball. He crashed hundreds of metres away.
“Wah.”
Blood flowed from Pei Gang’s mouth corner. He scrambled up from the ground quick. Then he looked at Ye Qiu in full horror.
Afar, the onlookers grew more shocked.
“Heavens, Pei Gang is hurt.”
“Never thought Pei Gang, born with divine strength and forged diamond indestructible body, blasted away by one fist. If not seen with own eyes, who would believe?”
“Too unbelievable!”
As for Wei Wuji and the rest, they traded looks. Each saw gravity in the other’s eyes.
Clear, Ye Qiu’s one punch to send Pei Gang flying shook them no small bit.
In the field.
Pei Gang wiped blood from his mouth corner. His face dark, he looked at Ye Qiu. In cold voice, he said, “Underestimated you. Never thought your strength so great.”
Ye Qiu said with full scorn, “Looks like I overestimated you. Never thought your strength so feeble. Crumbles at a touch.”
“What did you say?” Pei Gang’s eyes blazed fire. As Soul Separation Sect chief’s son, Pei Gang prided most on power. He never dreamed Ye Qiu called his power feeble, crumbling at a touch.
“Are you deaf?” Ye Qiu said. “In my eyes, you are weak as an ant.”
Boom.
Ye Qiu unleashed Dragon Slaughter Fist. In a flash, golden fist pressed forward without pause. It smashed towards Pei Gang.
“Any who underestimate me pays the price.” Pei Gang dodged not. He charged up brave.
Earlier, before so many, Ye Qiu’s one fist sent him flying. Shame enough.
Then Ye Qiu mocked more. Called him crumbling, weak as ant. Utter deep insult.
So now, no matter what, he must reclaim the field.
“Heaven Martial Meteor Hammer!”
Pei Gang stepped into the air. He urged full body power. In an instant, vast aura burst from him. Like towering waves.
Then, he swung his copper hammer.
The thirty-eight thousand jin copper hammer, in Pei Gang’s hand, seemed a light toy. He swung it airtight.
In a turn, sky filled with hammer shades. This void nearly smashed to burst.
Pei Gang’s hair stood on end. Like a peerless demon king.
Afar, onlookers saw this. Chills ran through each.
“Too strong. Pei Gang lives up to genius name!”
“Such attack means, normal folk die before close. Even same realm experts likely block not!”
“That lad is done!”
“Shame. Just broke to Cave Heaven peak, now dies here. Truly waste.”
“Waste what? If not so arrogant, how die so wretched?”
Many saw no hope for Ye Qiu. After all, Pei Gang’s attack means truly too fearsome.
Yet to these folk’s surprise, all of a sudden, a golden fist, like galloping thunder lightning, pierced heavy hammer shades. It appeared before Pei Gang.
“What? He neared Pei Gang?”
“Damn, too fierce!”
“Looks like these two match even!”
As the crowd cried out, Ye Qiu already clashed fierce with Pei Gang in the air. Fist and hammer collided nonstop. Each clash like heaven thunder exploded.
Terror power swept from their bodies. At once, surroundings turned to ruin. Countless ancient trees uprooted whole. They flew back.
Ground too cracked in countless fissures. They spread without end. Like huge ravines.
“Kill!”
Pei Gang swung his copper hammer without cease. Each strike held sky-high power. Fearsome to the utmost.
But Ye Qiu proved stronger.
His twin fists seemed the world’s hardest divine tools. Vast power poured out. It beat Pei Gang back step after step. Blood coughed nonstop from Pei Gang’s mouth.
As for the far onlookers, each held breath now. Shock filled their faces.
Anyone could see Ye Qiu held the upper hand!
