Chapter 552: Fierce Battle

On the mountain road, dust rolled, and fierce winds stirred. Two powerful auras were like two exotic beasts fighting, startling birds and silencing insects.

The dust dispersed, revealing two figures confronting each other.

"How is it possible!"

Yan Guiyun showed disbelief.

His Marrow Cleansing Realm was already perfect, and he had begun to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm. He originally thought that even if Xu Yang were at the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing, he could crush Xu Yang. He never expected that in the first collision, the two were almost evenly matched.

Xu Yang's martial arts foundation was actually more vigorous than his. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to fight him to a standstill just after breaking through to the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing.

"Bang!"

The force exploded at the tips of their fists, and both couldn't help but retreat with large steps, cracking the ground all the way and leaving footprints two or three inches deep.

Yan Guiyun was uncontrollably horrified. If Xu Yang had cultivated for as long as he had, he feared that this punch alone could have suppressed and killed him.

And for this punch, Xu Yang didn't seem to have used Jin Gang Qi at all, just pure physical body colliding with him.

"I cannot keep you!" Yan Guiyun's killing intent surged in his heart, no longer calm and composed.

Such talent, even he felt horrified. One must know that he had cultivated for two years longer than Xu Yang.

Two years longer, yet he couldn't suppress Xu Yang.

Xu Yang had only entered the sect for more than three years, not only reaching the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing but also cultivating his physical body to a realm where he could hard-resist half-spiritual weapons.

"Boom!"

His blood and Qi boiled, Gang Qi surged, and his disheveled hair danced.

Yan Guiyun stepped forward, light flowing over his whole body, and his vigorous Gang Qi quickly converged, finally gathering at his fist, forming a layer of fist Gang compressed to the extreme and slamming out heavily.

"Boom!"

The moment the fist was slammed out, the Gang Qi exploded rapidly, like a rushing sea wave slapping out, emitting a booming sound and shaking the dust.

Since his physique couldn't suppress Xu Yang, he would win with vigorous Gang Qi. He had reached the critical point of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and the vigor of his Gang Qi was absolutely not something Xu Yang could compare to.

Facing this tide-like Gang Qi attack with no dead ends, Xu Yang just propped up his protective Gang Qi.

His Gang Qi was not as vigorous as Yan Guiyun's, but the purity of his Gang Qi was simply not something Yan Guiyun's Gang Qi could compare to.

"Boom!"

Jin Gang Qi vibrated out, protecting his whole body. He let the Gang Qi, like a raging sea, slam onto him, and he was like an indestructible mountain.

A golden palm slapped out, instantly tearing through the crimson Gang Qi torrent and slapping onto Yan Guiyun's fist.

Xiong Wang Palm of Burden, Mountain-Shattering, Peak-Breaking!

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided, emitting a deafening muffled sound. The erupting Gang Qi torrent was like a tide, being rolled back by the powerful force.

Xu Yang's eyes were cold and sharp, his fighting spirit rising, and Jin Gang Qi erupted.

Yan Guiyun's whole body shook, his bones and muscles roared together. He only felt a sharp, overbearing, and pure Gang Qi like a blade surging from Xu Yang's palm, easily invading his meridians and destroying them wantonly.

"Such pure Gang Qi."

He also cultivated a technique to condense Gang Qi. Although it was not an exotic Gang Qi technique like the Jin Gang Qi, it was also a superior technique. Cultivated to the Major Success Realm, his Gang Qi would absolutely not be weaker than exotic Gang Qi like Jin Gang Qi.

But the purity of Xu Yang's Gang Qi far exceeded his, like a sharp blade.

"This is absolutely not Gang Qi that can be cultivated by the Heavenly Gang Body-Forging Technique or the Diamond Body Technique."

Like an electric shock, Yan Guiyun hurriedly withdrew his fist, which cut off the Gang Qi Xu Yang had blasted into his body. He only felt his entire fist was like being pricked by thousands of needles, with stinging pain everywhere.

"If your third on the Ten Elites List is only capable of this, then today is your death anniversary."

Xu Yang's posture was like a dragon, taking a step forward, the earth trembling, and his whole body emitting a majestic aura.

The golden palm was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, tearing through the air and slamming out again.

Before the palm arrived, the wind stirred by it made Yan Guiyun's face ache, and he felt as if a giant boulder were pressing on his heart, making his breathing uncomfortable.

"You dare to look down on me? Do you think I, Yan Guiyun, am really an empty name?" Yan Guiyun's eyes widened in anger.

With a boom, his Gang Qi burned like a raging fire, heat waves rolling, his whole body turning crimson, and the surging energy stirred up air waves.

A sound of joints roaring came from his body, and his body actually grew half a foot taller in an instant, his muscles bulging like mountain peaks, suddenly turning into a giant over two meters tall.

It was precisely the body-forging technique he cultivated—the Burning Heaven Flame Body.

An oppressive aura emanated from him. He seemed to have turned into a ball of flames, and Xu Yang's 1.8-meter height became short in front of him.

"Boom!"

Flames rose on Yan Guiyun's body, his wild hair dancing, and his aura became stronger than before. The knotted muscles almost burst his wide clothes, and his large hands, like cushions, slapped out, colliding with Xu Yang again.

Both seemed not to want to compete with each other in moves, but wanted to see who was harder and whose martial arts foundation was more solid.

"Bang!"

A loud sound like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting came, and the earth beneath their feet roared, being shaken into a terrifying crack.

Energy shot out, broken stones filled the sky, and amidst the cracking sounds, Xu Yang's protective Gang Qi rippled, appearing with fine cracks, and his bones and muscles roared.

His Immovable King Body realm was still quite a bit behind Yan Guiyun's Burning Heaven Flame Body. His body emitted a jade luster, which was the performance of the Immovable King Body running to the extreme. The surging blood and Qi made his skin faintly turn red, as if his blood and Qi were about to be shaken out of his body.

He only felt a formidable power coming from the opposite palm, couldn't help but retreat step by step, and felt a tightness in his chest.

"Satisfying!" he shouted.

The Gang Qi in his body surged with a boom, and dots of gold appeared. His body turned golden, as if cast from gold.

He also ran the Diamond Body Technique, his robes bulging, and his formidable energy was like a volcanic eruption, sweeping out and suppressing the surging blood and Qi.

"Diamond Body Technique!" Yan Guiyun's eyes shone with intense light, and killing intent surged.

Xu Yang actually still had a trump card!

With this Diamond Body Technique out, the power he had finally managed to suppress Xu Yang with was instantly leveled again, and he no longer occupied any advantage.

"Come again!"

Xu Yang's fighting spirit was high. Several collisions gave him a sense of hearty satisfaction. The mud beneath his feet collapsed, and his body vanished from his spot, slamming out like an arrow released from a bow, bringing a sharp whistling sound and stirring up a terrifying Gang wind.

The golden palm gathered Gang Qi, wrapped in suffocating pressure, and simply and crudely slapped out another palm.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, the air seemed to have been punched into an invisible passage. Just a flash of light, and his palm was already close at hand, the pressure forcing the flames on Yan Guiyun's body to sway.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Yan Guiyun's large hand, burning like blood flames, slapped out like lightning, containing the power of ten thousand jin, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided, causing a terrifying explosion. Xu Yang's bones and muscles roared, his face turned red, and with a crack, the Jin Gang Qi was directly shaken away by the terrifying vibration force, and a wave of mud stirred up around his body.

"Pssh!"

A look of pain appeared on Yan Guiyun's face, his internal organs were displaced, and the Gang Qi burning like flames outside his body was also directly extinguished, revealing his bulging and taller body, his muscles trembling.

The protective Gang Qi reappeared, and Xu Yang's golden large hand slapped out again, one palm heavier than the other.

The Xiong Wang Palm of Burden was originally a palm technique that was extremely rigid and fierce, open and close, without any fancy moves, and both were geniuses with successful body forging, whose physical bodies could hard-resist half-spiritual weapons.

For a time, in the forest, it was like two steel giants colliding. The ground within a radius of ten or twenty zhang was vibrating, constantly shattering, and the stirred-up dust had already shrouded the mountain forest a hundred zhang wide.

The more he fought, the more exhilarated Xu Yang felt; this kind of fist-to-flesh, close-quarters physical combat and hard collision made his fighting spirit soar ever higher, his emotions excited to the extreme.

Yan Guiyun, however, was more and more shocked the more he fought!

Both of their physiques were extremely formidable, and with protective Gang Qi, after twenty or thirty moves, he still couldn't do anything to Xu Yang, feeling that even if they fought for hundreds more moves, it would be the same result.

Although Xu Yang hadn't cultivated for as long as he had, he also had no shortcomings.

The two continued to fight, and in the blink of an eye, they had passed a hundred moves. Even though their physiques were very strong, they also felt their physical strength decline. After all, they were both outstanding, and they had been fighting head-on, so even an iron body couldn't withstand such constant collisions.

"You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you. Let's stop this matter here and write it off, how about that? Otherwise, let's fight with weapons?" Yan Guiyun roared.

He didn't want to fight anymore.

Fighting any longer would mean mutual destruction, and even if he won, it would be a tragic victory, not worth the loss.

In a weapon duel, he also had no certainty. Xu Yang could refine his physical body and physique to this extent, so his attainments in weapons would definitely not be low. If they really used weapons, they might really destroy each other.

Their bodies could resist half-spiritual weapons, but it also depended on whose half-spiritual weapon it was.

"I can't do anything to you? Write it off?" Xu Yang's long hair flew, his whole body golden, faintly glowing with red light.

After a hundred moves of fierce battle, his vigorous blood and Qi seemed about to steam out of his body, and new blood surged in his body like thunder.

He wasn't unable to do anything to Yan Guiyun, but it was rare to encounter such an expert, and in such a quiet place where no one disturbed them, he couldn't bear to kill him immediately, using the other party to stimulate his own fighting spirit.

"Boom!" ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
