Chapter 99: Shattering Confidence

  "It's interesting!" Xia Chen said calmly, neither retreating nor advancing, the Heaven- Splitting Blade in his hand flashed and directly grasped towards the whirlwind.

  "Idiot! This fierce star vortex is spinning, its edges and sharp blades are no different. You dare to grab it with your bare hands? Just wait for your palms to be cut off!" Wu Feng thought coldly.

  Bang! The palms of Qi Xuan and Xia Chen met, instantly rubbing out a dazzling spark, then suddenly froze, as if a high-speed spinning wheel was suddenly inserted with an iron rod.

  "What!" Wu Feng's eyes revealed an incredulous expression as he used his bare hands to stabilize the intense Stellar Vortex, this was still the first time in his life that he had seen such a thing.

  Xia Chen's hand shone with a cold light, his five fingers spread wide. Five streaks of sharp, heaven-rending energy flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind five deep gashes in the air. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and it transformed into swirling whirlwinds that danced across the sky.

  "That's all you've got? Wu Feng, you really disappoint me." Xia Chen said calmly, reaching out to grab Wu Feng through the partially exploded vortex.

  "It's not over yet? You think you've won? Give me a blast!" Wu Feng coldly smiled and shouted loudly.

  The small sparks in the vortex of the fierce star suddenly expanded rapidly, like a fireball flying towards Xia Chen. Before they even got close, one after another explosion occurred.

  These Mars are actually all acquired true fires. With the rapid compression of true energy and then release, it can achieve an effect similar to that of the Explosive Yuan Qi Pill.

  Xia Chen's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his palm. The true energy of the seventh heaven burst forth from his palm, transforming into an invisible and intangible wall of air that stood firm despite the explosion of the fireball.

  At the same time, the sharp edge of the sky crackled with cold light in the midst of the fireballs, turning all the future explosions into flying sparks, which looked incredibly beautiful.

  Due to Xia Chen's extremely fast speed, the blade of Lie Tian's sword was entangled with Huo Xing again, because neither of them could see what technique he was using.

  There were also many Mars that pierced through the thick true energy and splashed onto Xia Chen's body, but before they could reach Xia Chen's clothes, they were repelled by the true energy surging from Xia Chen's body.

  The day after tomorrow, the sevenfold refinement of the viscera realm is completed. True energy is born internally and bursts forth from inside to outside. The entire body then has a defensive energy field, ordinary attacks can't cause any harm at all.

  Mars dissipated, and a stronger Lixing vortex struck again. However, it was Wu Feng using Xia Chen to resolve the Lixing explosion's timing, once again giving birth to a powerful attack.

  With a sudden burst of energy, Xia Chen let out a loud shout and threw a fierce punch straight at the center of the raging vortex.

  The previous attack has made him understand the principle process of the formation of the Lixing Qi Xuan. If he continues to crack it in the original way, Wu Feng's attacks will be endless, and as long as he finds the weakness, he can break through with one blow.

  Boom! The fierce star vortex shook violently for a moment, suddenly stopped, and then suddenly reversed its rotation, following which it counterattacked towards Wu Feng.

  "You want to compete with me in controlling the fierce stellar vortex?" Wu Feng was taken aback, and then sneered.

  He didn't think Xia Chen would find the weakness of Lie Xing Qi Xuan so quickly, but it was useless. Even if Xia Chen's strength surpassed his by a lot, he couldn't possibly surpass him in controlling Lie Xing Qi Xuan.

  It's just like how one person may have overall strength over another, but in a particular specialty, they don't necessarily surpass them.

  He raised his true energy and threw a series of punches towards the center of the whirlwind. The fierce star whirlwind paused for an instant, then spun wildly again, attacking Xia Chen once more.

  Xia Chen didn't say a word and also launched several punches, hitting the center of the whirlwind.

  "Useless, you'll never be able to control the cyclone as well as I do. Comparing yourself to me? You're just looking for... what? Impossible!" Wu Feng's mocking smile had just appeared on his face before it froze there.

  The cyclone was seen to stop rotating instantly and then suddenly dissolve without a trace, as if it had never existed.

  "This......" Wu Feng's lips trembled, not daring to believe what he was seeing. The Lixing Qi Xuan was an attack that he had cultivated with his fist strength, although it was fierce, but as long as the direction of the attack was opposite and the power was the same, it could be dissipated.

  But the power is the same, how can it be easy? Just touching twice, you can dissolve the vortex, such a true energy control, can't be described with just two words of horror.

  Looking at Xia Chen, Wu Feng's heart suddenly rose with a deep chill. For a moment, he had an illusion that this young man, was he really human?

  Xia Chen's heart also rose with a sudden realization, and after using his cleverness to break through Wu Feng's fierce star vortex, his understanding of true energy control suddenly deepened, and he gained insight into a more profound principle of power.

  If you use Thunderclap or Sky Splitting Edge, even if you forcefully break through with Golden Body, you can indeed forcibly break the Starlight Vortex, but you won't be able to comprehend the enlightenment from earlier.

  His eyes were thoughtful, but his hands didn't stop at all. He took a few steps forward and still used his big hands to slap towards Wu Feng's face.

  Wu Feng's heart was unwilling, he let out a tiger's roar, his two hands exerting all their strength to meet Xia Chen's hard with hard.

  Bang!

  Xia Chen's body didn't even flinch, but Wu Feng stumbled backward with large strides, his blood boiling over, his throat emitting a bloody smell, as if fresh blood was about to spurt out.

  "Trash, is that all you've got? Bring out your strongest move already, or else I'll defeat you with ease!" Xia Chen said calmly.

  "Xia Chen, don't be arrogant, I'll take care of you right now!" Wu Feng's face turned bright red with rage, and he let out a mighty roar. His body's blood and energy surged again, making a sound like waves crashing against the shore.

  In the blink of an eye, his power soared to its peak. He raised his palm and suddenly, countless twinkling postnatal true flames emerged from his palm before rapidly burning into a raging fire.

  His palm seemed like a fire palm, and just looking at it gave off an astonishing aura of power.

  Wu Feng's face grew redder and redder, his hand raised as if holding a thousand-jin weight, looking extremely strained. The flames in his palm gradually coalesced into a dazzling fireball of unparalleled brightness.

  "Xia Chen, aren't you arrogant enough to take my strongest blow? You will regret it, die for me, Wild Fire True Fist!" Wu Feng let out a loud shout and struck Xia Chen with a full-force palm in mid-air.

  The fireball in his palm suddenly shot out, with a blazing flame tail, and fiercely smashed towards Xia Chen.

  How formidable... Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Even the faces of Xu Shaobai and the other two had a hint of solemnity, this Wildfire True Fist was indeed not to be underestimated, even if it were a late-stage Ninth-Order cultivator, they would still suffer greatly if they underestimated it.

  Xia Chen's expression didn't change at all, he simply stretched out his palm calmly. This Wild Fire True Fist and the Green Robed Man's Post-Heaven True Fire Sword were surprisingly similar in function, although extremely sharp, but he could already break through it during the fifth stage of Post-Heaven, let alone now.

  Bang! The fireball hit Xiaochen's palm, as if it had run into a wall, and the terrifying momentum stopped instantly. Before it could explode, Xiaochen's hand clenched with force, and the huge fireball burst open in an instant, countless sparks turning into tiny fireflies, flying away.

  What? The crowd stared at this scene in disbelief. Such a terrifying fireball was broken by Xia Chen so easily?

  "This is your strongest attack? It can't even withstand a single blow!" Xia Chen said calmly.

  "Impossible! You must have used some sort of sorcery, it's impossible to break my Wild Fire Fist so easily!" Wu Feng bellowed with a hoarse voice.

  His face turned pale, the sparkle in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an unparalleled sense of despair. Xia Chen's light and casual resolution of his strongest move had already shattered his confidence.

  "You're finished, Wu Feng." Xia Chen sneered, mercilessly striking at the already battered remains of Wu Feng's confidence. "Your strongest move is completely useless in my eyes. You've spent years cultivating, but you're still not as strong as I am after just half a year of practice. And to make matters worse, I'm even lower than you in terms of cultivation level. What's the point of your cultivation? You're truly a complete waste!"

  "No, you're talking nonsense!" Wu Feng's heart was greatly shocked. What Xia Chen said was not entirely true, but he didn't know why it had an unparalleled impact on him.

  A paranoid thought repeated uncontrollably in his mind: You're done for, you're a waste of space, you're done for...

  "Now you can roll back to Yuezifeng and lie there for a few more months, I've never had any interest in trash." Xia Chen's palm stood upright like a knife, slashing down fiercely like a giant axe.

  "I'm not trash! I'm not!" Wu Feng roared crazily, raising his arms to block Xia Chen's palm.

  Xia Chen's palm shook, and Wu Feng let out a painful cry. His body uncontrollably retreated backward, almost falling to the ground with a thud.

  "You're still saying you're not? You're just a waste! Waste! Waste!" Xia Chen didn't give him any time to breathe, and with a flash of her body, another palm knife came crashing down.

  Wu Feng was speechless, a mouthful of true energy circulating non-stop, desperately blocking, but this time he retreated even further, his face even more crimson, his throat surging with blood and gas, as if he was about to spit out fresh blood.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  Xia Chen showed no mercy, striking out with three consecutive palms, each one more ferocious than the last, each one faster than the previous, like a wave crashing against the shore, and in the fleeting moment, there was an endless feeling.

  Wu Feng let out a loud cry, he used all his strength to block two palms, but the third palm was unable to be blocked and heavily chopped on his chest.

  Wow!

  Wu Feng directly fell flying out, he could no longer bear it, spitting a mouthful of blood in the air, and then heavily smashing to the ground.

  "You're indeed not trash, because you're even more trash than trash!" Xia Chen said calmly.

  "Wu Feng struggled to lift his head, his face deathly pale, as if he wanted to say something more, but a surge of fresh blood filled his mouth, and with one turn of his head, he completely passed out."

  Xia Chen not only severely injured him, but also thoroughly crushed his confidence. Even after recovering from his injuries, Wu Feng's cultivation would find it difficult to make progress again.

  "Li Shidi! Isn't this against the rules? Why haven't you taken Xia Chen down yet?! This little beast not only severely injured Wu Feng, but also wants to destroy his Taoist heart. How vicious is that?! He deserves to die!" Yue Zifeng angrily shouted.

  Seeing his own disciples being severely injured by Xia Chen one after another, Yue Zifeng's heart was trembling. Each of the gods' apprentices had only four or five disciples, and more than half of them were crippled by Xia Chen. Yue Zifeng was so angry that he wanted to flay Xia Chen alive!
