Chapter 162: Physical Confrontation

"Clang!!!"

Lei Jingtong's pupils contracted suddenly, feeling the immense force transmitted through his arms, he found it hard to believe.

"Such powerful physical strength? What a joke?"

Lei Jingtong shook his hand, only feeling his arms somewhat numb.

Yu Zhangsheng ignored him, a streak of blood tears flowed from his crimson eyes, qi and blood surged like a sea throughout his body, the intense pain was forcibly suppressed by his Divine Sense; at this moment, he only wanted a satisfying battle.

"Red Tempered Snake, Golden-Winged Great Eagle, do not interfere, observe the situation from the side, act as Protectors for me."

Yu Zhangsheng roared like a beast, waving his hand to refuse the participation of the Red Tempered Snake and Golden-Winged Great Eagle.

"Truly arrogant, you, a Beast Tamer, actually give up beast taming to fight me personally?!"

Lei Jingtong laughed in extreme anger; Yu Zhangsheng's behavior made him feel a great insult.

Also feeling surprised were the Elders and disciples closely watching here.

"Has this Yu Zhangsheng gone mad? Not using a powerful Beast Tamer properly, crippling one arm himself, so arrogant?"

Wang Luyi spoke in surprise, somewhat incredulous.

"No, he intends to place himself in a dead land and then survive."

Elder Cao took a deep breath, slowly shook his head, staring fixedly at every move of Yu Zhangsheng.

"Bang!!!"

Terrifying Qi Waves swept the surroundings, Lei Jingtong and Yu Zhangsheng collided again, the two like swords and lightning, their figures elusive, exchanging dozens of rounds in an instant.

"Boom!!!"

Lei Jingtong held his blade in one hand, after punching Yu Zhangsheng away with the other, his complexion turned solemn.

"What did you eat, your physical body can actually reach this level?"

Lei Jingtong was puzzled; as a person of Ba Dao Peak, they always focused on tempering the physical body, yet after several consecutive rounds, he gained no advantage over Yu Zhangsheng; how could he not be shocked by Yu Zhangsheng's formidable physical body.

Yu Zhangsheng said nothing; holding the Soul-Breaking Nail, he did not control the artifact with Divine Sense, but instead used the simplest and crudest direction to smash toward Lei Jingtong; his moves were wide and open, without any discernible technique, but under the terrifying immense force, every strike made Lei Jingtong feel alarmed.

"Burning Heaven Flame Blade — Burning Mountain!"

Lei Jingtong gripped the hilt with both hands, his Qi like a fighting bull, his arms drawing a perfect arc; fierce flames followed closely, condensing a huge Volcano Shadow at the blade tip; as the blade peak swung, with overwhelming momentum it boomed toward Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes narrowed, blue veins bulged; layers of Wooden Shields lined up before him, giving Yu Zhangsheng a certain buffer time.

The volcano collapsed; Yu Zhangsheng's eyebrows, eyes, and hair were all ignited, completely charred; Spirit Power protected the fragile parts of his body; Yu Zhangsheng's figure rushed out of the volcano, slamming heavily toward Lei Jingtong.

Lei Jingtong was shocked; he did not expect Yu Zhangsheng to actually use his physical body to hard-block his blade; caught off guard, his chest caved in, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting a mouthful of blood that scattered into the Void.

Yu Zhangsheng did not hesitate; taking advantage of Lei Jingtong being unable to borrow force in midair, enduring the scorching Burn sensation throughout his body, he Shadow Flashed directly below Lei Jingtong, striking heavily toward Lei Jingtong's belly with great force.

Lei Jingtong with difficulty held his blade horizontally to block in front, protecting the vital points, but his body was also sent flying backward by this blow, directly crossing over more than ten Stairs.

In their fight, fist to flesh, blade drawing blood; the battlefield environment was fought from the 2600th Layer to over the 2900th Layer; at this moment, some disciples climbing the Heavenly Ladder no longer rushed up, but quietly watched Lei Jingtong and Yu Zhangsheng's battle, amazed. "Not enough…!"

Feeling the power surging throughout his body, Yu Zhangsheng clenched his fist; while booming toward Lei Jingtong again, he also had an idea.

"Still a bit short; one step from the door, the physical body can break through again……"

"Since so, let's fight on the Three Thousand Steps!"

Every thousand Layers, the pressure on the Steps doubles; the 3000th Layer is already the limit for most disciples participating in the Trial.

And Yu Zhangsheng, fighting in such an environment at over 2000 Layers, already felt resistance; if going up one more Layer, reaching the 3000th Layer would probably be even more difficult.

After making up his mind, a hint of madness appeared in Yu Zhangsheng's eyes; he Shadow Flashed twice in succession to appear behind Lei Jingtong; a Fireball condensed in his hand, pressing toward Lei Jingtong.

Lei Jingtong frowned; the Flame Blade surrounded his body; with one blade he exploded Yu Zhangsheng's Fireball. The next second, the Fireball exploded; a sky-toppling flame surged toward them; Yu Zhangsheng also grabbed Lei Jingtong's blade-wielding hand with one hand, and with the other hand circled around, suddenly wrapping around Lei Jingtong's waist.

Lei Jingtong's complexion changed; he immediately struggled violently; his other hand condensed Green Light, pressing toward Yu Zhangsheng's back.

"Pfft……"

Yu Zhangsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, but refused to let go of Lei Jingtong; after several Shadow Flashes in succession, the two stepped onto the 3000th Layer Stairs together.

"Boom!!!"

Immense squeezing force came from all directions of the Void like mountains overturning and seas pouring; the Air seemed to condense; the suppression feeling on the Shenjue was heavier; the sensation of carrying a mountain on one's back once again surfaced in both their hearts.

Yu Zhangsheng and Lei Jingtong's bodies sank simultaneously; their movements stagnated slightly; they adapted with some difficulty to this environment.

With both their Cultivation Base strengths, originally climbing to the 3000th Layer was not difficult; but with both their current states, and fighting in such an environment, it indeed counted as every step being difficult.

Flames erupted; Lei Jingtong broke free from Yu Zhangsheng's restraint; took a deep breath; mobilized his entire Cultivation Base; the blade in his hand rang clearly; breaking through Obstacles, he slashed heavily toward Yu Zhangsheng! "Crack crack……"

One muffled sound after another came from within Yu Zhangsheng's body; Yu Zhangsheng's eyes brightened; all the bones in his body seemed about to crack; the Medicine Effect of the Body Tempering Pill crazily took effect within his body, recondensing, reinforcing and shaping bones; although intensely painful, he was also being Reborn.

"Burning Heaven Flame Blade……Extinguishing Earth!"

The Burning Heaven Flame Blade had a total of eight forms; ordinary disciples with Qi Refining Cultivation Base could only cultivate two forms; only because Lei Jingtong had amazing talent did he cultivate four forms; but the fourth form was also his current limit, and was the most terrifying move in power.

Being able to force Lei Jingtong to this extent was enough to show that Lei Jingtong was also nearly at the end of his resources at this moment.

Flames surrounded; the Earth shook and condensed; a streak of red Flame Heaven Blade condensed from the blade tip into the Void, emitting high temperature, burning everything.

The Heaven Blade fell; the Void twisted. Flame Waves surrounded Yu Zhangsheng; Yu Zhangsheng gritted his teeth; his body was imprisoned by an invisible force.

"Hiss hiss hiss……"

The Red Tempered Snake and Golden-Winged Great Eagle roared anxiously, about to rush over to help Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng looked up and faced the Heaven Blade; layers of Wooden Shields covered the front; but in just a moment, they were destroyed by the Heaven Blade; in Destroy Withered Pull Rotten fashion, it continued to fall toward Yu Zhangsheng; in an instant it covered Yu Zhangsheng and exploded.
