Chapter 400: Killing Move

"Bang!"

Earth and rocks collapsed, Liu Qingyuan shot out, his body suddenly disappearing from where he was.

He was like an arrow from a bow, slapping out another palm with the momentum of mountains collapsing and the earth cracking.

Tiger Pouncing Piercing Cloud!

The overbearing palm force tore through the air, the sound stinging the eardrums, stirring up visible ripples, spreading in circles, and everything it passed was shattered.

The tiger is dead but its prestige remains, the soul is born in the palm; one palm pierces the clouds, and the clouds are dyed red with blood!

This was the core essence of the Tiger Soul Piercing Cloud Palm. Once the palm was out, it wouldn't stop until the enemy was killed.

The martial arts imagery behind Liu Qingyuan seemed to have come alive, staring fixedly at Xu Yang with scorching eyes. The formidable pressure descended from the air, like a river hanging upside down.

Before the palm arrived, the formidable pressure had already caused the ground around Xu Yang to collapse, and his legs sank into the ground.

Rolling heat waves swept over, blue smoke rose from the ground, and the earth tore and collapsed with a boom.

Xu Yang’s fighting spirit soared, his blood surged like a tide, true qi roared, his body emitted dazzling golden light, and his muscles and bones roared incessantly.

He frantically operated the Eight Fiends Subduing Dragon Force and the Immovable Bright King Body, raising his combat strength to the peak state.

This time, he didn't actively attack. His legs were like roots in the earth, immovable as a mountain, and the Bright King phantom behind him surged, its light dazzling, submerging Xu Yang’s figure.

Facing Liu Qingyuan’s palm, he slapped out a palm without fear.

"Boom!"

A tyrannical aura rose from his body, and a golden palm tore through the air and blasted out.

Destroying Mountains and Breaking Peaks!

This palm had the momentum of a mountain collapsing, with the force to destroy everything. He rooted his legs in the earth, absorbing the earth’s power, like a towering mountain.

Xu Yang’s eyes exploded with essence, staring fixedly at Liu Qingyuan, his war blood boiling.

The air was blasted into a channel, emitting a sound like thunder. Amidst the visible ripples, the golden palm accurately slammed into Liu Qingyuan’s palm.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A muffled sound like mountains colliding spread, and the dissipated force swept out violently, causing a huge explosion within dozens of zhang.

Xu Yang’s arm muscles bulged, veins popped, the bulging muscles almost tore his clothes, and his muscles and bones roared.

The overbearing force coming from Liu Qingyuan’s hand was unstoppable, like a stormy sea, capable of crushing everything.

But this time, he wasn't shaken away.

Under the blessing of "immovable as a mountain," the ground beneath his feet collapsed, his feet sank, his body only swayed slightly, and in the end, he didn't retreat a single step.

Behind him, the Bright King phantom swayed, almost collapsing.

Liu Qingyuan looked horrified. This time, he hadn't shaken Xu Yang away; he felt that Xu Yang was like an eternal mountain that was hard to shake.

The result was that he had to bear a counter-force far more terrifying than the last time. The surging true qi couldn't all be erupted, and he felt the meridians in his arm almost burst from his own true qi. Some small meridians cracked, and half of his palm went numb, briefly losing sensation.

Cold light flashed in Liu Qingyuan’s eyes. Xu Yang had truly surprised him again. The other party’s combat strength was like a bottomless abyss. Every time he thought he could suppress Xu Yang, Xu Yang would become stronger, as if growing rapidly in battle.

"Die!"

Liu Qingyuan roared, re-condensed his true qi, and slapped his palm out again, the overbearing palm force tearing through the air and bringing bursts of sharp whistling.

Xu Yang’s eyes were icy. He feared nothing more than this kind of close-quarters combat and body collision.

He gathered his true qi, turned it into a thin layer covering his body, dodged Liu Qingyuan’s palm, and his fist stabbed out like a great spear, tearing through the air.

Liu Qingyuan struck horizontally with one arm, his palm power surging, true qi surging and gathering, accurately blocking Xu Yang’s fist.

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided, force ran wild, and violent force roared and swept out. Both looked at each other with murderous intent, their bodies shaking at the same time, muscles and bones roaring.

The next moment, both ignored the surging blood and slammed their fierce force into each other, both wanting to put the other to death.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Sounds like thunder exploding rang out incessantly. Two figures as fast as lightning kept colliding and fighting, and wherever they passed, mountain rocks were shattered, vegetation disappeared, and cracks kept spreading on the ground.

Before long, the area within a thousand meters had already been turned into ruins, the earth was scorched black, and there were deep pits and cracks everywhere.

Xu Yang fought steadily, his stamina like a bottomless pit, his body as hard as a spiritual weapon. After dozens of exchanges, he didn't show any weakness, and the Bright King imagery behind him became even more brilliant.

Looking at Liu Qingyuan, who had been operating secret techniques to increase combat strength for a long time, the burden on his body became heavier and heavier, feeling his body hot and sweating.

The white tiger phantom behind him also looked a bit paler.

The increase in combat strength from martial arts imagery didn't consume nothing; it consumed intangible mental power, relying on the support of spiritual will.

Liu Qingyuan’s martial arts imagery became paler, indicating that his mental power was over-consumed, which also sideways showed that Liu Qingyuan’s mental state was inferior to Xu Yang’s.

After a long battle, the one to die would definitely be him.

"So hard to kill!" Xu Yang sighed inwardly.

He had still underestimated Liu Qingyuan. A Purple Sun Gate elder’s combat strength was far from what a Heaven Origin expert like Song Yushao could compare to. He mastered too many powerful martial arts, and his true qi was more vigorous and pure.

With his current strength, if it were to kill Song Yushao, it would be enough to kill him three or four times, but Liu Qingyuan hadn't suffered much injury.

"But it’s almost time!" He had been accumulating fighting spirit, and Liu Qingyuan’s strength had also begun to decline. After fighting for a while longer, he could use the Blood Prison Heart Saber Scripture to kill Liu Qingyuan.

"Bang, bang!"

Another collision, Xu Yang’s golden fist smashed down like a ten-thousand-jin hammer, shattering Liu Qingyuan’s protective true qi.

At the same time, Liu Qingyuan also cracked Xu Yang’s protective true qi with one palm, and the palm, carrying vigorous force, slammed into Xu Yang.

"Clang..."

A muffled sound like iron being struck rang out, and violent force shot out.

Xu Yang’s entire body shone with a brilliant radiance, golden light interweaving as his Indestructible Vajra physical body forcibly withstood the overbearing palm force, the terrifying rebounding power sending Liu Qingyuan’s palm springing high into the air.

Both bodies shook violently, their auras chaotic, and they staggered backward.

Xu Yang had withstood his overbearing palm force, and his protective true qi had also offset most of Xu Yang’s strength, only his muscles and bones roared.

"Trying to consume me? Did you think I couldn't see your intention? I was actually planning the same thing. Let’s end it here," Liu Qingyuan roared.

Xu Yang’s body was too tough, and he was also trying to consume Xu Yang’s stamina to prevent Xu Yang from escaping when he used his killing move.

When the strength difference between the two wasn't large, if one side wanted to escape, it was absolutely not easy to kill the other, which was why Heaven Origin experts rarely died, unless one had overwhelming palm power.

"Clang..."

A crisp sound like a dragon’s roar rang out, and Liu Qingyuan drew the long sword hanging at his waist.

Instantly, a cold light shot out like a silver dragon. A sharp aura covered the sky and earth, the power of heaven and earth swarmed over, and the terrifying momentum shook away all the smoke and dust.

Liu Qingyuan had used his sword!

One had to know that there was a saying in the martial arts world: "Yellow Maple Valley’s fist, Purple Sun Gate’s sword." This was no exaggeration.

He held the sword horizontally, cold light shooting from his eyes, his entire momentum changing instantly, the white tiger phantom behind him disappearing, and overbearing sword intent breaking out of his body.

"Use your killing move, otherwise you won't be able to return alive today," Liu Qingyuan said slowly.

After fighting for a long time, he naturally understood that Xu Yang still had a killing move, otherwise Xu Yang would have retreated long ago.

The two actually understood each other’s intentions, but both wanted to kill the other to eliminate future troubles. Xu Yang had to kill Liu Qingyuan to ascend the dragon with peace of mind, and Liu Qingyuan would only have a dead end if he didn't take this opportunity today to strangle this genius Xu Yang.

Xu Yang still had nearly two years, and he had a way out, but Liu Qingyuan had no way out at all, so he had been cooperating with Xu Yang all along.

"As you wish!"

The black cloth behind Xu Yang tore, and the Green Water Saber leaped into his hand with a tremor. The aura of a spiritual weapon dissipated, the temperature around them plummeted, and the power of heaven and earth swarmed over rapidly.

"Green Water Saber, so Song Shixian was also killed by you. Little beast, you’ve hidden yourself so deeply," Liu Qingyuan stared fixedly at the Green Water Saber in Xu Yang’s hand, his back feeling cold.

An old monster like him who had lived for decades wasn't as ruthless as this young man, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. He didn't know how many people he had bitten. Even knowing that Xu Yang was the murderer who killed Song Yushao and led to the near-extermination of the Song family, he hadn't thought that Xu Yang was the murderer who killed Song Shixian.

Xu Yang’s forbearance made him feel a chill down his spine. Sometimes he thought about asking someone to resolve this grudge. If he had really done that, it would have been seeking his own death.

Xu Yang was so forbearing; if he asked for a resolution, Xu Yang would probably agree on the surface, but instead, it would make him lose his guard. Fortunately, he hadn't done that, otherwise, he could only wait for death.

Xu Yang’s body flowed with golden light, true qi poured into the Green Water Saber, and the sharp saber light surged by three feet.

He looked coldly at Liu Qingyuan, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and shook his head: "Not just that, your son Liu Xunfeng was also killed by me. Are you satisfied with this killing move?"

What?

His only son was also killed by this beast. This beast was the Fiery Saber Guest!

At that time, he was trying to attack Xu Yang through Xu Qing. After his only son had that incident, he forgot about it. He hadn't expected this beast to strike at the other party’s relatives before him.

Liu Qingyuan’s eyes were splitting with rage. He had a son late in life, and after breaking through to Heaven Origin, even though he married several concubines, he hadn't given birth to any more heirs. To this day, he still felt pain when he thought of Liu Xunfeng’s death.

This beast Xu Yang was indeed a poisonous snake, acting both sinister and vicious.

"You damned beast, I really regret not getting rid of you sooner," Liu Qingyuan’s voice was full of regret, and his aura fluctuated.

If he had made up his mind to kill Xu Yang when the grudge started in the Heavenly Wind Valley, there wouldn't have been the Song family and his son’s incident. He only thought of killing Xu Yang after Liu Xunjiang died, but the matter was already known to Elder Huoyun, and he had no chance to act even if he wanted to.

"Boom!"

Taking advantage of Liu Qingyuan’s chaotic mind and unstable aura, Xu Yang moved.

He revealed that he was the Fiery Saber Guest and had killed Liu Xunfeng, not just to anger Liu Qingyuan, but mainly to create an opportunity to kill him.
