“Bang!”
An Ruoxi took a punch to the chest. His body flew backwards. Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth and stained his robe red.
“Thud!”
An Ruoxi smashed into the ground like a boulder. He had no holy artefact like the War God Armour for protection. When he landed, cracking sounds came from his body. Several bones broke. He spat blood again.
“What? Ye Changsheng sent An Ruoxi flying?”
The scene was filled with shock. Everyone stared at Ye Qiu standing in mid-air, dumbfounded.
Ye Qiu wore the War God Armour. Golden light radiated from his body. He looked like a divine spirit.
“A Lightning Body is nothing special!”
Ye Qiu looked down at An Ruoxi. His cold voice echoed through the sky.
An Ruoxi ignored his injuries. He quickly climbed up from the ground. He stared at Ye Qiu in shock.
“How did his speed suddenly become this fast?”
An Ruoxi was very puzzled.
Just now, before his words finished, Ye Qiu’s fist had hit his chest. This baffled him completely.
He knew he was a Lightning Body with incomparable speed. Yet he could not dodge Ye Qiu’s fist. This was too unbelievable.
“Could he have used some secret art that boosts speed in an instant?”
An Ruoxi thought to himself.
How could he know that what Ye Qiu used was actually the divine ability One Step to Heaven.
After breaking through to peak Cavern Heaven, Ye Qiu only thought of clashing with these geniuses to consolidate his realm and improve his combat experience. He overlooked the movement art One Step to Heaven.
Only when An Ruoxi said he broke through to peak Cavern Heaven earlier than Ye Qiu did Ye Qiu suddenly wake up.
The movement art One Step to Heaven was a legacy left by a Saint powerhouse. According to the manual, at peak Golden Core, one could take a step of ten li.
At peak Cavern Heaven, one step of a hundred li.
At peak Nascent Soul, one step of a thousand li.
If cultivation reached peak Divine Transformation, one step to heaven.
Ye Qiu had already broken through to peak Cavern Heaven. That meant he could use one step of a hundred li.
He had long memorised the cultivation method of One Step to Heaven. Using it just now produced remarkable results. He directly crushed the Lightning Body with one step of a hundred li.
“You are a Lightning Body, right? Come on. Let us compare speeds again.”
Ye Qiu crooked a finger at An Ruoxi. He said arrogantly.
“Compare if we must. Do you think I am afraid?”
After An Ruoxi spoke, his body turned into a bolt of lightning. He appeared before Ye Qiu in an instant. He raised his fist and smashed towards Ye Qiu’s chest.
Just as the fist was about to land on Ye Qiu’s chest.
“Swish!”
Ye Qiu shifted slightly. He dodged An Ruoxi’s fist and appeared ten zhang away. He mocked An Ruoxi: “Are you not a Lightning Body? Why is your speed so slow?”
An Ruoxi nearly went mad with anger. What he prided most was his speed. Unexpectedly, today Ye Qiu mocked him. This was intolerable.
“Die!”
An Ruoxi bellowed. He charged towards Ye Qiu again.
This time, he attacked in fury. Not only was his attack power much stronger, but his speed was also faster.
“Bang!”
An Ruoxi struck Ye Qiu with one fist. He sneered: “Comparing speed with me, courting death…”
Before his words finished.
Ye Qiu’s voice rang in his ear: “Not only is your speed slow. Your brain is stupid too.”
What?
An Ruoxi was startled. Had his fist not hit?
He fixed his eyes.
An Ruoxi realised in shock that what he hit was merely Ye Qiu’s afterimage.
That meant Ye Qiu’s speed was too fast. He left an afterimage in place. An Ruoxi did not know and mistook it for Ye Qiu’s true body.
“Damn it!”
An Ruoxi itched with anger. In his heart, he wanted to dismember Ye Qiu.
“I will give you another chance. If you can hit me, I will spare your life.” Ye Qiu said.
Hmph!
An Ruoxi snorted coldly. His hands formed seals before him. At once, terrifying aura radiated from his body. His combat power rose rapidly.
Immediately after, An Ruoxi’s body vanished from the spot. He abruptly appeared before Ye Qiu.
He raised his fist and smashed.
“Die!” An Ruoxi punched towards Ye Qiu’s brow.
However, before the fist touched Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu’s figure vanished from before him.
“Boom!”
An Ruoxi’s fist hit empty air. A booming sound rang in the air, like a sonic boom. It was deafening.
“He dodged again?”
An Ruoxi was horrified. He never imagined that one day, someone in the same realm would be faster than him.
“Before, no matter what he did, his speed was not as fast as mine. He could not dodge my attacks at all.”
“How, in just a moment, did he become like a different person?”
“His speed actually surpasses mine?”
As An Ruoxi pondered, Ye Qiu’s voice came from beside his ear: “I thought a Lightning Body was impressive. Now it seems it is just trash.”
Bastard, he actually humiliates me!
Die…
An Ruoxi punched to the side. Who knew, this punch missed too. Ye Qiu’s figure had long gone who knows where.
At this moment, Wei Wuji’s voice rang out: “Brother An, careful…”
An Ruoxi suddenly sensed fierce wind from behind. He dodged hastily. Who knew he was still slow. He took a kick from Ye Qiu on his back.
“Pfft!”
An Ruoxi felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer. He nearly plummeted headfirst from the sky. Before he steadied himself, Ye Qiu’s figure blocked his path.
“Are you alright?”
Ye Qiu asked with a concerned face.
His action stunned An Ruoxi. Was this not a life-or-death duel? Why did this fellow suddenly care about him?
Something unusual must mean a demon.
An Ruoxi asked cautiously: “What do you want?”
“I want to slap you.” Ye Qiu smiled. He slapped towards An Ruoxi.
An Ruoxi was furious. In rage, he punched directly at Ye Qiu’s palm. Just as he was about to block Ye Qiu’s palm, suddenly An Ruoxi’s vision blurred. Following that, burning pain came to his face.
“Slap!”
Ye Qiu slapped An Ruoxi’s face. At once, a fresh red palm print appeared on An Ruoxi’s face.
The whole scene fell silent in shock.
Everyone looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment. They thought, this fellow actually dared to slap the Holy Son of the Mending Heaven Sect in public. Truly bold beyond measure.
However, this was merely the beginning.
“Does it hurt?” Ye Qiu asked with a laugh.
“You, you hit me?” An Ruoxi covered his stinging cheek. He looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment.
From childhood to now, even his father had never hit him. Unexpectedly, today he was slapped in public.
“Seems I went too light just now.” As Ye Qiu’s words fell, his body vanished from the spot. Following that, crisp slapping sounds rang out again.
Slap!
Slap!
Ye Qiu slapped An Ruoxi’s face twice in a row. In an instant, An Ruoxi was sent flying. He fell from mid-air to the ground.
When the crowd looked again, they saw An Ruoxi’s cheeks swollen like a pig’s head. He no longer had his previous grace.
No one expected An Ruoxi to look so dishevelled. The onlookers were all scared speechless.
The dignified Holy Son of the Mending Heaven Sect.
The legendary Lightning Body.
A peak Cavern Heaven genius.
To be slapped three times in public. This matter would surely…
End only in death!
