Chapter 114: The Might of Fist Intent

"Purple Lightning Frenzy! Aerial Finger!"

Ye Liuyun launched a Purple Lightning Frenzy punch with his left hand, using speed to attack Huang Wenxuan, forcing him to use True Essence Body Shield again, then immediately followed with a right‑hand Aerial Finger, hoping to break his defense while his True Essence Body Shield was weakened after erupting.

Ye Liuyun's True Essence was not as powerful as Huang Wenxuan's, but in the coordination of footwork and technique he was slightly stronger.

Some outer‑gate disciples in the audience also shouted.

"The perfect fusion of footwork and technique!"

"Perhaps Ye Liuyun truly has the capital to challenge Huang Wenxuan!"

Long Yue, Qi Tianyue and others showed surprised expressions.

Ye Liuyun's attack was again blocked by Huang Wenxuan's True Essence Body Shield.

His footwork was strange, but Huang Wenxuan launched indiscriminate attacks, leaving him nowhere to dodge, so he could only rely on his body to endure.

Under Huang Wenxuan's ferocious assault, Ye Liuyun's clothes were torn to shreds, revealing a solid muscular torso. Not like Yuan Meng's iron lumps, but still quite fit and sturdy.

After a round of exchanges, Ye Liuyun did not break Huang Wenxuan's defense, and Huang Wenxuan also did not crush Ye Liuyun.

Then, Ye Liuyun used his footwork and bodily advantage to circle Huang Wenxuan—dodging when possible, otherwise enduring with his body.

Thunder‑fire blazing and Purple Lightning annihilation can usually offset sixty percent of Huang Wenxuan's attacks; the remaining forty percent he endured with his body.

Huang Wenxuan grew increasingly frustrated; repeated attacks yielded no result and drained his True Essence heavily. In contrast, Ye Liuyun showed no sign of True Essence depletion.

"The more I strike, the more my heart trembles; at this rate, my True Essence will be exhausted soon!"

The audience disciples were silent, utterly stunned.

They did not expect Ye Liuyun could hold out this long.

"This Ye Liuyun actually cultivated True Fire! True Yuan Fifth Tier already cultivated True Fire!"

"This kid's True Essence is abundant! He's been fighting so long and shows no fatigue!"

"This kid is a Martial Cultivator who refines the body!"

The audience disciples finally reacted, shouting in surprise.

However, their attention was on the True Fire; they hadn't noticed Ye Liuyun's True Fire, which was actually Golden Crow Holy Fire.

Onstage, Huang Wenxuan also frowned; he had already seen that Ye Liuyun also practices body refinement, otherwise he couldn't withstand so many attacks. This kid not only runs fast but also endures hits. Over time, that's unfavorable to me.

"Enough! I only used seventy percent of my strength earlier. For you to force me to go all out is already quite something!" Huang Wenxuan said, and all his True Essence surged.

Ye Liuyun also became cautious. He knew his opponent was about to go all‑out. Yet he still did not draw the Demon Slaying Sword.

Huang Wenxuan's attacks, however strong, are still weaker than the defense of his Immortal Overlord Body's fifth layer. So he decided to conduct an experiment.

That experiment is the "fist intent". His sword has sword intent; his fist should likewise have fist intent.

At this moment, he recalled the artistic conception Mo Tianheng displayed during the Fengyang City martial contest. He had been focusing on improving thunder and lightning power, neglecting the cultivation of that conception.

Facing the crisis now is the perfect time. Suddenly, the faint, raging thunder‑lightning aura around him changed; a domineering, unmatched force radiated from him.

He applied the domineering intent from his sword technique to his fists. This domineering intent grew stronger, gradually pushing back Huang Wenxuan's aura.

This scene again startled the disciples below.

"What kind of power is that, driving back Huang Wenxuan's aura!?"

At that moment, the two seemed to swap roles. Ye Liuyun, like an emperor, radiated thunder, lightning, and True Fire, fists clenched, looking over the world, exuding a lofty aura that made everyone's hearts tremble.

"Such pressure can probably only be emitted by a disciple of the Sea Transformation realm!"

"This kid really has skill! To contend with Huang Wenxuan to this degree."

The crowd discussed. Beside them, Steward Yue felt the domineering intent on Ye Liuyun, narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

"Artistic conception! To grasp it at True Yuan Fifth Tier is truly incredible!"

In the entire Sacred Martial Academy, only a few have grasped such conception.

At this moment, in the eyes of Qi Tianyue, Nan Xin'er, Li Mengxi and other girls, Ye Liuyun became a towering war god, shining with dazzling light, making the girls go crazy.

Especially his solid body, exuding endless charm.

"Whirlwind Burst!"

Huang Wenxuan dared not wait any longer. The longer he delayed, the stronger Ye Liuyun's aura grew! He immediately launched a full‑power attack.

The power of the Ninth Layer Summit of True Essence erupted, stirring the surrounding space into a twisted vortex; a booming sound, the exploding True Essence thundered against Ye Liuyun.

"Whirlwind Burst? He actually learned this move!" some senior disciples exclaimed.

They knew the move's power well. Once released, under the Ninth Layer Summit of True Essence, no one can match it!

"Purple Lightning Annihilation!"

Ye Liuyun showed no fear, his eyes filled with battle intent. His aura rose to the peak, and he met the punch.

Boom—crack!

A huge sound, True Essence scattered and shattered!

After the True Essence dissipated, the disciples stared; both stood upright, having ended in a tie!

Hoo!

The crowd below boiled over again.

They had originally thought that Ye Liuyun would die the moment he met that punch! Unexpectedly, it ended in a tie.

Li Mengxi looked at Ye Liuyun on stage, her eyes wet again.

"Junior brother!"

He didn't expect Ye Liuyun to be so strong!

Indeed, Ye Liuyun did not disappoint him!

Long Yue, Qi Tianyue, Nan Xin'er and others were now completely stunned, staring at Ye Liuyun, their minds blank.

"What? He blocked my strongest strike!"

Huang Wenxuan was also shocked! That was his full‑power burst move, and Ye Liuyun blocked it! How could he possibly defeat Ye Liuyun now?

At this moment, Ye Liuyun considered nothing else.

He had only one thought in his mind.

One punch to shatter the opponent!

Huang Wenxuan hadn't recovered his senses yet, when Ye Liuyun threw another punch. This punch was stronger than the previous one, even faintly drawing in the surrounding Heavenly Earth spiritual energy.

Huang Wenxuan only felt his whole body trembling, as if facing an invincible war god.

And this punch seemed not only able to destroy his Physical Body, but also to collapse his very spirit and will!

A spark of excitement flared in Ye Liuyun's heart! His True Essence surged again subconsciously throughout his body.

As the saying goes, a cornered dog leaps over the wall; in danger, Huang Wenxuan again used a Whirlwind Explosion, throwing his full strength at Ye Liuyun with a punch.

Boom—crack!

This time, Huang Wenxuan was blasted back more than two zhang! He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

"Ah!" Huang Wenxuan roared in desperation. "I'll fight you to the end!"

Huang Wenxuan's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he lunged at Ye Liuyun like a madman.

"Catastrophic Thunder Annihilation!"

Ye Liuyun also expelled all the True Essence from his body. The dazzling True Essence, violet‑blue lightning power and golden‑red Golden Crow Holy Fire, accompanied by the booming Lei Ming, roared forward toward Huang Wenxuan.

"Boom—rumble—rumble," a massive roar.

When the True Essence was exhausted, everyone saw Huang Wenxuan lying on the ground, his clothes shredded by the lightning, his body a charred black mass, emitting plumes of Qing Yan, no longer recognizable as human.

If they hadn't seen him still convulsing, they would have thought the corpse on the ground was just a charred husk!

The entire arena fell silent, everyone forgot to breathe, quietly watching Ye Liuyun.
