Chapter 83: After Reaching Late Tongmai Stage!

Fang Yongyuan held a pitch-black halberd, his hair disheveled, like an enraged demon ape, full of wildness and tyranny.

Hum!

The iron halberd tore through the air, compressing it into a sharp explosive sound.

When had the dart masters of Liuhe Martial Arts Hall ever seen such a scene? Each one turned deathly pale, their bodies involuntarily wanting to retreat.

The halberd's edge resembled a cold crescent moon; merely glancing at it made one's hairs stand on end, as if sliced by a blade, the brain frantically issuing warnings.

"Second Uncle, Eighth Uncle he..."

Wang Guanshi's face was ashen as paper, staring at that demon-god-like figure, his heart filled with dread.

He had wandered the martial world for so many years, what kind of person had he not seen?

But someone as wild and ferocious as Fang Yongyuan, like a beast of a martial artist, he had never seen before.

Clang!

Qin Shuo bare-handedly resisted the iron halberd, his golden fist striking the black weapon, the sound piercing metal and splitting stone, making scalps tingle and causing tinnitus.

The iron halberd violently trembled, emitting a buzzing sound.

Fang Yongyuan followed through with a horizontal slash; the sharp halberd tip cut through the air, producing a ripping cloth-like screech, sending chills down one's spine.

Qin Shuo shifted sideways, dodging the halberd's blade, his palm gathering golden light, as if a dragon and elephant were frolicking and competing within, erupting with the sound of Longxiang Harmony.

Clang!

As if a golden cast palm slapped onto the black great halberd, the air there exploded, emitting a thunderous boom like muffled thunder.

The iron halberd was knocked askew, chopping into the rock face on one side of the cliff, instantly carving a ferocious notch, splitting mountains and shattering stone, dust and smoke rolling.

The dart masters of Liuhe Martial Arts Hall were stunned, hardly daring to believe their own eyes.

Qin Shuo, with flesh and blood, hard-resisted the sharp iron halberd—this was too shocking.

Even Lin Feng's heart pounded wildly.

Had that halberd strike landed on him just now, he likely would have had no power to parry, easily chopped to death.

That man named Fang Yongyuan was too terrifying!

Such strength, probably only Master Wei Yuan could match.

But now, junior brother Qin Shuo could actually fight him with give and take, though at a disadvantage, yet not utterly powerless to retaliate.

"Could it be that junior brother has already entered the Tongmai Realm?"

As soon as this thought arose, Lin Feng's heart was instantly overturned by tumultuous waves.

How long ago did the opponent break through Inner Strength Great Perfection...

One month!

And already he had completed Inner Strength Transforming into Qi, unblocked the meridians, becoming a Tongmai martial artist like Master.

All told, Qin Shuo had practiced martial arts for only a little over three months.

This cultivation speed is too fast!

Dong dong dong dong clang...

Qin Shuo continually resisted the black iron halberd with Longxiang Golden Body, his golden hands like a blazing sun, each strike emitting an iron-forging-like dull roar, momentum terrifying.

The two fought fiercely, a life-and-death battle.

Qin Shuo, relying on a pair of flesh fists, stubbornly blocked Fang Yongyuan's frenzied assault.

The mountain rocks on both sides of the road continuously shattered in their battle—either split in half by the halberd, or exploded by the golden fists into sky-filling rubble, shooting in all directions.

"Good, good, good, no wonder Second Brother spared no expense to have you eliminated.

Having just entered Tongmai, you possess strength not inferior to Tongmai Late Stage; you are indeed worthy of my full effort."

Fang Yongyuan shouted loudly, the iron halberd in his hand whistling as he wielded it, like a fierce tiger lowly growling, possessing a demonic quality that makes hearts tremble.

Roar!

An angry roar burst from within him, as if a world-suppressing demon ape sought to break free.

Instantly, Fang Yongyuan's aura surged, becoming even more ferocious and tyrannical.

Black aura pierced through his body, coiling like ribbons around him, outlining an illusory demon ape phantom.

That demon ape, like Fang Yongyuan, held a great halberd, its black blade seeming able to pierce heaven and earth, cleaving Qian and Kun.

"Ooh..."

Accompanied by the piercing demonic sound, the demon ape phantom and Fang Yongyuan swung the halberd together, terrifying killing intent permeating the valley, casting a layer of chill over everyone's hearts.

Divine Intent permeates the body, aura condenses into form!

This is hardly inferior to the Three Returns to One, strength transforming into blade—a martial arts realm unique to superior martial arts, the special use of Divine Intent.

At this moment, Fang Yongyuan displayed the profound heritage of a great clan to the fullest.

The black great halberd, heavy as mountains, when cleaved, the air seemed to twist, compressed by black aura into a low hum, emitting eerie demonic wails like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The people of Liuhe Martial Arts Hall felt as if plunged into an ice cellar.

Many ordinary dart masters were so frightened their legs went weak, they collapsed sitting on the ground.

Even Lin Feng felt immense pressure, as if a giant stone pressed on his chest, making breathing difficult.

One can imagine the pressure Qin Shuo under this halberd must endure.

Facing Fang Yongyuan unleashing full power, Qin Shuo finally experienced the strength that Tongmai Late Stage ought to have.

That vast aura, like an ocean crashing down, made one feel despair and suffocation.

"Boy, die under my strongest killing move, you may close your eyes in peace."

Fang Yongyuan's words were cold and tyrannical, carrying merciless killing intent, echoing through the valley.

"Noisy!" Qin Shuo coldly snorted.

The next second, the Great Sun Golden Wheel behind him suddenly ignited, as if truly transformed into a golden blazing sun falling into his hand, he fiercely smashed it toward the incoming black great halberd.

Burning Blood Secret Technique not only burns blood and Qi, but can also burn Inner Qi.

Facing the strongest killing move of the late Tongmai Realm, Qin Shuo dared not be careless, he deployed all his means and clashed head-on.

Boom—

The golden blazing sun and the black iron halberd collided, emitting a blinding light.

Terrifying Qi surged between fist and halberd, spreading out, forming a fierce gale that blew sand and rocks flying at the battlefield of the two.

Bang!

The iron halberd flew backward, obliquely embedded in the mountain rock cliff.

The halberd shaft sank deep into the cliff, leaving only over a foot exposed.

Fang Yongyuan and Qin Shuo, like broken kites, flew backward to opposite sides.

The former's tiger mouth split open, ten fingers bleeding profusely, the latter's face turned pale, the golden light on his body dimmed, as if already at the end of his strength.

"What an overbearing and vast Inner Qi."

Fang Yongyuan's expression turned grim.

My certain-kill strike, which I thought was a sure win, was actually blocked by the opponent, and even injured me—this is simply unbelievable.

What's more terrifying is that the youth seems only to have exhausted his Inner Qi, without suffering much injury.

Such a formidable physique, I have rarely seen in my life.

"That kind of attack just now, you should not be able to use it a second time. Next, let's see how you block me."

Fang Yongyuan spoke in an icy voice, laced with some irritation and anger.

A mere hairy youth who just entered Tongmai Realm actually made me suffer losses repeatedly—truly hard to accept.

"Who told you I can only use it once?"

Qin Shuo straightened his waist, took out a Blood Qi Pill from his body, tilted his head and swallowed it.

The next moment, flames ignited again on his body, but not golden, rather blood-red.

The Inner Qi accumulated over these past ten days was consumed by more than half in that strike just now.

From now on, he can only rely on his own blood and Qi to fight.

Just as the two were tense and about to start a new round of fierce battle.

Fang Yongyuan suddenly frowned, his gaze sweeping past Qin Shuo to look behind him.

There, a fast horse was rapidly approaching.

When he saw the rider's face clearly, Fang Yongyuan's expression changed, and instantly a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
