Chapter 178: Jiang Ye: You are even easier to fight than Zhang Kui!

Center of the martial arts arena.

"Tsk tsk, your courage is truly unexpectedly great."

Zhao Jing looked at Jiang Ye, who was still calm on the opposite side, the smile at the corners of his mouth almost impossible to suppress.

Jiang Ye said calmly:

"Liu Fengzhu Zhao, before we fight, I have a question."

"Since you want to carve up my Tianyangfeng's elixirs."

"Then after I win, I also want to carve up your Earth Peak's elixirs, you have no opinion, right?"

Zhao Jing's expression stalled slightly, then he threw his head back and let out a wild laugh:

"Win me? You think I am Zhang Kui!"

"If you can defeat me today, let alone carving up!"

"Even if the entire Earth Peak's elixirs are given to you, so what!"

Jiang Ye nodded slightly: "Actually, there is no need for all of them, carving up half is enough."

He had dealt with Elder Zhao and Elder Qian of Earth Peak before.

Those two acted steadily and were not bad people.

It wouldn't go as far as doing things to the extreme.

But these words sounded completely different in Zhao Jing's ears.

This old thing was actually still putting on a show as if he could really win, even starting to calculate how much to carve up.

It was simply arrogant to the extreme.

The ferocious look in his eyes gradually overflowed, the Earth True Qi around his body surging silently, the gravel under his feet trembling from the invisible air wave.

But he ultimately cared about the dignity of a Liu Fengzhu and did not attack first, but proudly puffed out his chest and laughed loudly:

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

"I will let you have one move!"

"Let you strike first..."

Before his voice fell.

Jiang Ye's mouth curled into a faint arc, "Then Liu Fengzhu Zhao must be careful."

At the same time, his hands flew in front of him, the speed of his ten fingers forming seals almost illusory; with every seal that fell, there was an extra bit of scorching, distorted fluctuation in the air.

The red-gold Divine Qi pill in his dantian shook violently, the long-accumulated Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi erupting like magma, rushing through his meridians to his palms.

"Flame Explosion Burning Heaven Seal!"

He shouted in his heart.

Boom—!!!

The red-gold True Qi erupted from his palms, condensing into a red-gold 'Great' character-shaped fire seal between his palms.

The surrounding air was burned until it distorted violently, and even light could not pass through in a straight line, leaving a flickering halo in everyone's eyes.

"What?!"

Seeing the red-gold Divine Qi suddenly appearing between Jiang Ye's palms.

Everyone present, from the outer sect disciples on the sidelines to the three Peak Masters on the high platform, changed color in unison.

"That... that is..."

"That is Divine Qi!!!"

"Elder Jiang has broken through to the Divine Qi Realm!!!"

Someone among the outer sect disciples screamed.

The scream was like a spark thrown into a haystack, instantly igniting the entire crowd, exclamations echoing one after another.

Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes froze, the rhythm of her full chest heaving suddenly disordered by half a beat, swaying an astonishing arc in the air.

Sun Lin's fingers stroking his beard froze under his chin, and even that smiling expression that never changed for ten thousand years was rarely frozen.

Lu Xiao's naturally browless eyes narrowed into a dangerous thin slit, the gloomy look in his eyes almost seeping out water.

At this moment, they finally understood where Jiang Ye's confidence to challenge Zhao Jing came from.

He had actually broken through to the Divine Qi Realm.

After the shock came the unbelievable horror.

They had heard that this Elder Jiang only embraced the pill after entering Tianyangfeng.

How long has it been since then...

He actually broke through to the Divine Qi Realm?!

Even the personal disciples of the Upper Sect wouldn't have such a fast cultivation speed.

Elder Wang, standing behind the three Peak Masters, stood frozen in place as if struck by heavenly thunder.

His mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, his expression changing from bewilderment to shock, from shock to disbelief, finally settling into a kind of almost crazy ecstasy.

"Elder Jiang has actually broken through to the Divine Qi Realm!!!"

At this moment, his thoughts were chaotic.

He suddenly thought of the Liu Fengzhu's appointment at that time.

Could it be that the Liu Fengzhu already knew...

Gongsun Hong, who had just arrived, stood there stunned as if struck by lightning.

He clearly remembered that when Wen Yuelao first brought Jiang Ye to the Affairs Hall, Jiang Ye was still a Transformation of Force martial artist.

It had only been a few months...

Jiang Ye had already broken through to the Divine Qi Realm.

"Just what kind of sacred person is this Elder Jiang!!!"

Gongsun Hong's heart was stirred with huge waves.

However, all this shock and horror could not compare to the huge waves churning in another person's heart at this moment—Zhao Jing!

The moment that red-gold Divine Qi lit up in Jiang Ye's palm, the condescending contempt in his eyes shattered instantly like glass smashed by a heavy hammer.

How is this possible?

Isn't this old thing Embracing the Pill Realm?

How long has he been in Tianyangfeng, how could he have already broken through to the Divine Qi Realm?!

A series of questions exploded in his mind, but there was no time to think carefully.

That red-gold fire seal had already rushed toward him with lightning speed, the scorching air wave hitting his face.

He didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, mobilizing the Divine Qi in his body at the fastest speed.

"Mountain-Suppressing Palm!"

Zhao Jing gritted his teeth and roared, Earth True Qi surging wildly from his dantian, condensing into a small mountain phantom about a zhang high in his palm.

That mountain phantom was dark yellow all over, the mountain stone texture clearly visible, and the moment it condensed, it pressed the ground until it cracked inch by inch.

He pushed out with a palm, the mountain phantom carrying the momentum of ten thousand jun, crashing fiercely against that red-gold fire seal.

The next instant.

Bang—!!!

A shocking loud sound exploded in the center of the martial arts arena, red-gold fire light and dark yellow earth light colliding fiercely, the ground in the center instantly collapsing into a shocking deep pit.

The violent air wave, carrying gravel and scorching smoke and dust, swept in all directions, several thick branches of the old locust tree on the sidelines being cut off, the broken ends still sizzling with green smoke.

That terrifying momentum shook the outer sect disciples far outside the arena until they were all pale, almost unable to stand.

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the martial arts arena, which was rolling with smoke and dust, wanting to see clearly how the battle was going inside.

After a good while, the rolling smoke and dust that covered the sky finally gradually diluted in the blowing breeze.

When the vision became clear again.

Everyone gasped in unison.

Only to see a huge 'Great' character-shaped deep pit appearing in the very center of the blue stone-paved martial arts arena, the black stone ground at the edge of the pit burned into semi-molten magma by the scorching Divine Qi, emitting a pungent, scorched smell.

And in the center of the large pit, a figure stood with difficulty in place.

It was none other than Zhao Jing.

Only, his current appearance no longer had any of the dignity of a Liu Fengzhu.

His robes were burned black and tattered, revealing the torn and bleeding wounds underneath, blood mixed with scorched ash covering his body.

He stood there, swaying, one hand covering his chest, blood seeping out from between his fingers, his breathing heavy and chaotic.

Every breath seemed to use up all his strength.

A wisp of bright red blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the scorched black gravel at his feet, instantly steamed into a faint blood mist by the remaining high temperature.

Clearly, the collision of that move just now had caused him not-so-light internal injuries.

"Damn it... just what kind of martial art is that, how could it have such astonishing power..."

Zhao Jing felt that there was no place on his whole body that didn't hurt, the blood and Qi in his body churning like a pot of boiling oil.

He didn't doubt at all that if his reaction had been half a beat slower during that palm collision just now...

He might even have been in danger of losing his life.

The next instant.

The pupils in his eyes shrank sharply again.

"Where is he?!"

In the short breath that his vision was blocked by smoke and dust, Jiang Ye's figure had already disappeared without a trace from before his eyes.

His heart rang with alarm bells, a bad premonition pouring from head to toe like ice water.

Just at this time.

Roar!

A soul-stirring tiger roar suddenly came from behind.

Zhao Jing turned his head suddenly, and what came into view was a fist that looked thin and withered.

The surface of that fist had bulging veins, the knuckles protruding like iron casting, red-gold Divine Qi swirling and surging on the fist peak, actually condensing into a fierce tiger phantom.

The tiger head was held high, fangs exposed, pouncing toward him with claws and teeth.

At this moment, the scene of Jiang Ye ambushing him once before suddenly appeared in his mind.

This moment was just like that moment.

But this time, the fist wind rushing toward his face no longer contained the True Qi from before, but red-gold Divine Qi.

"Bad..."

He didn't have time to make any counterattack, not even having time to set up a defensive stance, only able to instinctively pour all the Earth-attribute Divine Qi in his body toward his head.

The dark yellow Earth True Qi exploded on his head and face, condensing into a layer of rough protection in his haste.

The next instant.

Jiang Ye's tiger-shaped fist slammed fiercely onto Zhao Jing's head.

Bang—!!!

The fist strength penetrated the bone, the tiger-shaped true intent and red-gold Divine Qi overlapping and erupting, a violent power that could not be matched hitting the mountain stone like a heavy hammer; even with Earth-attribute Divine Qi protecting the body, it couldn't stop that terrifying penetrating power.

Zhao Jing's whole person was penetrated by the fist strength, flying horizontally off the ground, rolling uncontrollably several times in the air, sliding across half of the martial arts arena head down and feet up, finally slamming fiercely onto the stone steps at the edge of the martial arts arena, splashing gravel and filling the sky with smoke and dust.

Compared to the last time, he could be considered to have had preparation in advance, condensing all the Earth-attribute Divine Qi to the top of his head.

Even so, his head was still beaten almost out of shape by Jiang Ye's punch, flowing out a wisp of eerie red and white.

"Heh... heh..."

He lay on his back in a pile of gravel, his consciousness somewhat blurred as he forced his eyes open, the breathing sound from his mouth weak and intermittent, like a dying trapped beast whose throat had been pinched.

The moment the smoke and dust dissipated.

What came into his view was a pair of aged eyes without any mercy.

Jiang Ye looked down at Zhao Jing from above, saying calmly:

"Liu Fengzhu Zhao, you are even easier to fight than Zhang Kui." ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
