Chapter 370
Xu Yang’s eyes were calm, like an ancient well, while Li Chuyang’s fighting spirit was incredibly high.
He was arrogant and conceited by nature. The draw with Xu Yang that day was considered a humiliation, and he couldn't stand a mud-legged person daring to defy him repeatedly.
However, he didn't rush to attack. For someone as conceited as him, to crush an opponent, he had to defeat them at their strongest state.
"I heard Elder Huoyun gave you a half-spiritual weapon. Why don't you use it?" Li Chuyang looked at Xu Yang’s empty hands.
"To defeat you, there’s no need!" Xu Yang was expressionless.
Li Chuyang’s eyes burned with light. To think someone was even more arrogant than he, Li Chuyang.
"His blade technique must be bad, and he’s just putting on a show here," someone below said with sarcasm.
A half-spiritual weapon was strong, but for an expert like Li Chuyang, whose body tempering had reached Small Success and whose physical body could resist a half-spiritual weapon, using a blade without a superior blade technique would only tie his hands and feet.
"You don't cherish the opportunity I gave you, so don't blame me."
Li Chuyang’s silver Gang Qi surged, emitting a scorching high temperature. In an instant, the arena was like a giant furnace being lit. The air distorted, and heat waves swept in all directions, forcing nearby disciples to retreat.
Burning Heaven Flame Body!
He used the silver Gang Qi cultivated from the Three-Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Art to cultivate this body-tempering technique, and its momentum was even more powerful than when Yan Guiyun used it.
"That day, my body tempering hadn't reached Small Success, and I was suppressed by your Immovable Bright King Body. Today, let’s collide again," Li Chuyang shouted, his fighting spirit rising.
Wasn't Xu Yang’s physical body strong? Today, he would suppress Xu Yang in the realm of the physical body.
"Bang!"
Without any extra movements, he kicked off the arena, and his whole body tore through the air like a cannonball fired from a chamber, crashing toward Xu Yang with domineering momentum.
Li Chuyang’s collision was like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking, a meteor falling to the ground. The roaring sound was deafening, and the surging energy before he even arrived caused the arena to rumble.
He was very conceited and arrogant. It seemed he remembered that last time Xu Yang had fought him to a draw without using Gang Qi, so he quickly restrained his silver Gang Qi and crashed toward Xu Yang with pure physical strength.
"So arrogant!"
Many people were shocked by Li Chuyang’s posture. He was going to defeat Xu Yang in Xu Yang’s strongest field using Xu Yang’s own methods.
A brilliant light surged in Xu Yang’s eyes. At this moment, his Immovable Bright King Body had reached Great Success, and he had begun to temper his body with the Bright King intent. If he wanted to, he could crush Li Chuyang in an instant.
He resisted the urge to crush Li Chuyang in one go. After restraining most of his power, he also took a large step forward, his figure suddenly vanishing from the spot, his physical body tearing through the air like a cannonball bombarding Li Chuyang.
Like Li Chuyang, he didn't use Gang Qi, just a pure physical collision.
"Xu Yang seems very arrogant too, actually not using Gang Qi either."
Everyone’s eyes changed. They didn't expect Xu Yang wouldn't want to take advantage of Li Chuyang either, actually colliding with Li Chuyang with his body.
"Good courage!" Li Chuyang roared, his eyes piercing.
The two were like two meteors, crashing together with a boom. Neither used Gang Qi, nor did they use hands or feet, just colliding in this simple and brutal way.
This way of fighting was very direct; it depended on whose physical body was stronger and whose martial foundation was more vigorous, without any tricks.
"Bang!"
Two flesh-and-blood bodies collided, but the sound that rang out was like a collision of gold and iron. The air rippled white, causing the arena to tremble.
"Is this the Small Success stage of body tempering? How terrifying!"
"As expected of a strong physical body that can resist a half-spiritual weapon."
Many people were shocked, feeling their eardrums were about to be shattered by the sound waves, and the rolling air waves seemed to want to blast people away. It was hard to imagine that a pure physical collision could have such terrifying momentum.
Li Chuyang looked at Xu Yang in shock, a trace of pain climbing onto his face, and a flush of color appearing on his face.
He felt that what he had collided with wasn't a person, but a meteor falling from the sky, unstoppable, and anything in its path would be crushed to powder.
"Hmph!"
A muffled groan of pain came from his mouth, his entire body’s tendons and bones rumbling. Li Chuyang quickly flew backward, feeling as if his internal organs were about to split, his blood surging like a river, making it impossible to control for a time.
"What?"
"Li Chuyang was knocked flying?"
Many people’s eyes were about to pop out, full of disbelief, seeing Li Chuyang show pain and be knocked flying backward by Xu Yang in one go.
Conversely, Xu Yang was calm and indifferent, slowly falling from the air.
"Good lad!"
Elder Huoyun laughed happily, shouting: "Old Ghost Li, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Songhe looked surprised, but then sneered: "Don't be in such a hurry. It’s just starting. He reached Small Success in body tempering first, so his physical body being stronger than Li Chuyang’s doesn't count for much.
Li Chuyang is conceited, but he isn't stupid; he won't keep competing with him in physical strength."
"This child must be killed!"
On the other side, Song Yushao and Song Shirong’s murderous intent grew stronger. To them, the stronger Xu Yang was, the sooner he had to be eliminated.
Once such a genius broke through to the Heaven Origin realm, it would be like a dragon soaring through the clouds; no one would be able to keep him in check.
"Do you still dare to say Xu Yang will definitely lose?" Sun Tao laughed.
He never doubted that Xu Yang would lose to Li Chuyang.
When they were still in the outer sect, Xu Yang’s strength had already crushed Li Chuyang’s; it was just that Xu Yang was low-key and never showed it.
Qi Xuancheng and Zhang Hanzhou, who had been blowing Li Chuyang’s trumpet before, didn't speak anymore. Basically, except for him and Jiang Fan, everyone else was dumbfounded.
Lu Ren was shocked. The distance between him and Xu Yang seemed to be getting wider and wider.
"How about it?" Xu Yang laughed.
"I admit I underestimated you. Your physical body is indeed strong. Next, I will use my true strength." Li Chuyang landed on the edge of the arena, his expression extremely gloomy.
To avoid flying off the arena, he had to use Gang Qi to stop his momentum.
He had wanted to defeat Xu Yang in Xu Yang’s strongest field, extremely conceited, but instead, he was no match for Xu Yang and was knocked flying in one go, his tendons and bones still aching, as if he had been slapped in the face.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Xu Yang’s physical body was indeed stronger than his. Continuing to make excuses would only make him a laughingstock.
All the arrogant words he had said before, looking down on Xu Yang, had now become a joke.
"Don't just talk; if you’ve suppressed your surging blood, hurry up and move. I’ve been waiting so long I’m about to wither." Xu Yang laughed.
Once these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.
Xu Yang was the first to dare to look down on Li Chuyang like this, but Xu Yang truly had the strength.
If he had continued to move, Li Chuyang would have already been blasted off the arena.
Jiang Fan laughed: "It takes Brother Xu to make this arrogant guy eat humble pie."
Although he had defeated Li Chuyang, his advantage wasn't obvious, so even after losing, Li Chuyang wasn't convinced.
Only Xu Yang’s calm and indifferent posture, easily suppressing Li Chuyang, could leave Li Chuyang with nothing to say.
"You..." Li Chuyang was furious.
These kinds of words were always said by him to others, but today they were said to him by someone else, which was simply unbearable for his proud self.
"You won one move, and you really think I only have this much ability?"
Li Chuyang’s eyes were like lightning, his aura sharp, all his anger turning into startling fighting spirit. Silver Gang Qi like a tide erupted like a volcanic eruption, pressing the arena down, and strong winds rose.
His whole body emitted silver light, and even his hair had silver Gang light flowing through it.
Three-Yin Silver Palace Profound Gang True Art!
In an instant, his momentum grew stronger, his energy like a stormy sea, sweeping toward Xu Yang.
"Li Chuyang is angry!" Qi Xuancheng laughed.
Li Chuyang was truly angry, using all his power. Even half-spiritual weapons could be shattered; what did Xu Yang have to block this?
"Bang!"
The arena shook, Gang Qi erupted under Li Chuyang’s feet, and his body suddenly vanished from the spot. The vigorous Gang Qi surged and circulated on his body, turning into a silver moon between his palms.
Moon Falls, Crows Cry, Frost Fills the Sky!
Startling cold air spread on the arena, and tiny ice crystals appeared in the air.
"Boom!"
Li Chuyang slapped out, like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, mountains and rivers rolling back. The roaring sound was deafening, and the surging strong wind made everyone feel as if the entire Departing Fire Peak were shaking.
"Bang, bang..."
Under the terrifying pressure, the arena sank again.
Seeing this, Yang Yuanzhou had to use his power to protect the arena, fearing it would fall apart the next moment.
"With this move of mine, what do you have to block it?" Li Chuyang roared.
Silver brilliance fell, the palm tore through the air, emitting a whistling sound, like a giant mountain pressing toward Xu Yang, unstoppable.
Xu Yang was expressionless, his tendons and bones shaking lightly, shattering the pressure pressing on his body.
To be honest, with his current strength, martial arts that weren't at the level of martial intent didn't even enter his eyes.
