Chapter 84: A Single Fist Strikes Back (First Update)
Tang Man Lou and the beautiful woman were equally shocked. The eight great families may not be comparable to the five major sects, but their influence in the entire Tianfeng country is not something that other families can match. As for the school, it's actually not very meaningful. In this day and age, anyone with a bit of talent has joined a sect. No one dares to use their school's power to intimidate others, unless you're the child of the sect leader.
A beautiful woman remained silent, with an air of detachment.
"Heh heh, one of the eight great families, the Ye family is indeed very powerful. However, that's all you're capable of, relying on your family's power to show off outside, but without the protection of your family, you're nothing." Tang Manlou calmed down, not wanting to lose face in front of You Zhanggui and the beautiful woman, saying lightly.
Wu Zongming sneered: "You're also relying on the Tang family, I think, without the Tang family's support behind you, one of the Eight Heroes of Worry-Free City definitely won't have your share."
"You're looking for death." Tang Manlou's eyes sparkled with sharp light.
Slowly walking to Wu Zongming's front, Ye Chen raised his eyelids and said: "Talking is useless, let's exchange a punch, whoever takes a step back will immediately roll out of the Chenzi Four package room, how about it."
"This is indeed true."
Upon hearing this, Tang Man Lou was initially taken aback, but then a smile appeared on his face. Originally, he had been in a difficult situation, unable to advance or retreat, and hadn't expected that the other person would be even more arrogant and ignorant than he had imagined, actually wanting to exchange blows with a late-stage Condensing Reality realm martial artist. This was simply seeking trouble for himself. After all, although Tang Man Lou wasn't a core disciple of the Jade Emerald Valley, among the inner disciples, he was still a notable figure, so how could he be afraid of a mid-stage Condensing Reality realm martial artist?
"It's true!" Ye Chen had never fought a late-stage True Intent realm martial artist before, so this was a good opportunity to test his own strength. As for losing, he hadn't considered it - back in the early stages of the True Intent realm, he could already defeat Wang Kunyang, who was at the peak of the mid-True Intent realm, with just one punch. Now that he had reached the mid-True Intent realm himself, his strength had increased by more than just a little. Even if his opponent was a true core disciple, today's outcome was still inevitable.
Tang Manlou turned his head to Yu Zhanggui and the pretty woman, saying: "Just right, Yu Zhanggui, Li Ling, you two can be witnesses for us. I'm afraid some people won't admit it."
Yu Zhuanggui smiled at Ye Chen, but didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.
"Alright." The beautiful woman Li Ling nodded in agreement, but she clearly didn't think much of Ye Chen, thinking he was blindly confident and couldn't see the reality.
"Cut the crap, let's get started!"
Ye Chen didn't dare to be careless, and the Jade Tempering Body Technique's third move was pushed to its peak. A faint, unobtrusive jade-like glow appeared on his skin, even covering his clothes. His hair had a strong texture, each strand sparkling thickly.
Wu Zongming and Li Ling retreated to a corner, making room for the two.
"Alright, today I'll let you witness the power of Tang Man Lou." With each word, Tang Man Lou's momentum rose higher and higher. In the end, a flame-like True Qi burst out from his body, shooting up into the sky. The decorations on the walls around him were blown away in all directions.
Li Ling's eyes narrowed, and this Tang Man Lou was indeed not to be underestimated. In just a year or two, he had cultivated the Lüshi Secret of Feicui Valley to the highest level of the seventh realm, achieving a state where his true energy was like fire. It seemed that this showdown was almost without suspense.
Hehehehe...
On this side, Tang Man Lou created a powerful movement, while on the other side, Ye Chen was not inferior in any way. His body emitted sharp air currents like needles, piercing the floor and the tables and chairs next to him with dense small holes. Moreover, the sharp air currents subtly combined into sword-like air currents, hiding in the void.
"Pure and True Seventh Layer." Li Ling's heart exclaimed, as a disciple of the Purple Sun Sect, she had fought with many disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, and had seen several who had cultivated Pure and True Qi, but they only reached the sixth layer peak, none of them reached the seventh layer. It was said that Pure and True Qi was one of the most difficult to cultivate among the top-tier techniques of the Flowing Cloud Sect, without exception.
Give him time and he will definitely become a core disciple!
Li Ling still didn't think much of Ye Chen, but she did have high hopes for his future.
"Ha ha, even if you cultivate the technique to the seventh level, it's useless. The difference between the middle and late stages of the Condensing True Realm is not as simple as you think." Tang Manlou didn't show any concern at all, his right fist slowly clenched, making a creaking sound, as if his palm was no longer flesh and blood, but a whole piece of crystal jade being rubbed and squeezed together, forming a ball.
"Great Shattering Jade Fist!"
A brilliant white light burst forth from his fist, and Tang Manlou's punch shot out straight ahead.
Rumble!
This punch had not yet been fully launched, and the entire Xilai Grand Hotel was slightly shaken. The diners who were eating looked puzzled, wondering what had happened!
Inside the fourth watch of the day, the air shattered into pieces, like jade and gold dissolving.
Ye Chen ignored the changes in the air, standing still on the spot, with a protective aura surrounding his body, and these small movements couldn't hurt him at all.
"Tiger Roar Dragon Fist!" Just as the fist was about to reach his body, Ye Chen no longer remained still, taking a step forward. His right fist suddenly burst out with intense blue light, accompanied by the sound of a tiger's roar piercing through the air, pulling out a dragon-shaped airflow.
Two fists collided instantly.
Next moment.
Including Li Ling, everyone's eyes were unable to see anything, only white and blue lights intertwined together, filling the vast private room.
Boom!
A deafening crash was heard, the walls of the room cracked open, the floor creaked and burst into pieces, the table and chairs shattered, and a series of crackling sounds continued to ring out, as if someone had been knocked back, smashing everything behind them.
After a few blinks, the blue and white lights finally dissipated. When they saw the situation in the room, they all had their eyes wide open, with faces full of incredulity.
"Tang Man Lou has fallen!" Li Ling took a sharp breath in.
In the dimly lit, heavily damaged private room, Ye Chen stood still as a mountain, his right sleeve slightly torn, his gaze shifted to the opposite side. A figure leaned against the wall, its massive strength causing the wall to cave in and collapse. Fresh red blood flowed from his right arm and mouth, his face pale and bloodless.
This man is none other than Tang Manlou.
"Get out!" Ye Chen's voice rang out. He wasn't too excited about being able to defeat Tang Man Lou with one punch, after all, in terms of strength, he had 15,000 kilograms, and in terms of martial arts, his Tiger Roar Dragon Fist had reached the peak of its peak, giving birth to the strongest killing move, Unrivaled Dominance. If even that couldn't repel the opponent, then there was a problem.
As for real strength, Tang Manlou is not much stronger than Wang Qunyang. Wang Qunyang also has the strength of ten thousand jin.
"Alright, it's fine, today's matter won't end like this." Tang Man Lou wasn't seriously injured, after all, he was a late-stage Condensing True Realm warrior, his protective true energy was exceptionally strong. It was just the shame in his heart that made him almost go crazy, hating to cut Ye Chen into a thousand pieces.
Tang Manlou got up and walked out of the private room in disarray, without even calling Li Ling.
