Chapter 43: The Strongest Strike

  Zheng Yi looked at the bottle of Da Yu Dan, and his eyes also showed a few more shades of greed. He licked his lips and said: "Master sister, the stakes have been set, so let them start competing quickly."

  Chen Qiushui looked at Xia Chen, his eyes inquiring, Xia Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he was confident, and he was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that his trial with Chu Zhentian would also involve a bet between Chen Qiushui and Zheng Yi.

  In that case, this match can't be lost, otherwise wouldn't it disappoint Master Sister?

  Xia Chen clenched his fists and looked at Chu Zhen Tian: "Chu Zhen Tian, it's our turn now. If you're afraid, it's still not too late to admit defeat."

  "You think I'm afraid of you? You're just waiting to be destroyed by me." Chu Zhen Tian's face was twisted in a scowl.

  Two figures flashed and jumped into the arena, without any hesitation, they directly charged towards their opponents.

  Zhu Zhen Tian's majestic aura shook the heavens, his entire skeletal system emitting a crisp explosive sound. The aura of his acquired Fivefold Refining Bone Realm burst forth, and by the time he arrived before Xia Chen, his strength had reached its peak.

  "Xia Chen, die for me!" Amidst the loud roar, Chu Zhen Tian's right fist shot out with incredible speed and struck Xia Chen's face, his left fist swung horizontally and fiercely attacked Xia Chen's chest, while his right leg swept across Xia Chen's waist like lightning.

  One strike, three kills!

  Everyone's face suddenly turned solemn, and just this initial attack made Chu Zhen Tian's display of power unparalleled. Even if they were also at the same level of cultivation as him, it would be difficult to withstand it.

  Xia Chen's eyes turned cold, without avoiding or yielding, suddenly like a fierce horse rushing forward, the Seven Shadows Fist was thrown out with a loud shout, and four fist shadows immediately appeared clearly, covering the sky and earth, welcoming Chu Zhen Tian's double fists.

  At the same time, Thunder Leg's ultimate move, side-to-side kick sweep, countered with a fierce attack, and clashed head-on with Chu Zhentian's right leg.

  Four Shadow Fists!

  Everyone's face suddenly showed an indescribable shock, and they did not expect Xia Chen to exert the Seven Shadow Fist to such an extent!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Chu Zhen Tian's fists were still half a foot away from Xia Chen, but he couldn't get any closer. Wave after wave of fist shadows came crashing in, blocking all his punches outside, the density of the fist shadows was so intense that even face to face, Chu Zhen Tian couldn't see Xia Chen's face clearly.

  Damn it! Chu Zhen Tian's face turned gloomy, but he didn't retreat. His offense wasn't just limited to the top lane. Xia Chen's Seven Shadow Fist was formidable, but could it withstand leg attacks?

  Bang!

  The two men's legs collided fiercely, producing a crisp explosive sound. Chu Zhen Tian let out a loud roar as the bones in his leg cracked and his true energy surged to the limit. Without hesitation, he pressed down again, determined to brutally snap Xia Chen's right leg.

  In his opinion, Xia Chen's ability to challenge beyond his level was merely due to his clever control of true energy, and this kind of head-on confrontation seemed passionate but was actually a suicidal move.

  I am a realm higher than Xia Chen, and my true energy is much stronger. In a fierce battle, Xia Chen will definitely be at a disadvantage, and his legs might even break directly.

  Bang!

  The two men's legs collided, their true energy fiercely clashing, instantly rubbing out a fierce spark. Xia Chen let out a loud roar, his leg not only didn't break, but instead pressed down like Mount Tai, a powerful and unmatched force suddenly transmitted to Chu Zhen Tian's body.

  Chu Zhen Tian's eyes revealed an indescribable look of shock, and Xia Chen's right leg was like steel cast as he exerted all his strength to collide with it, but even the protective true energy was rebounded back, causing a faint numbness.

  In the blink of an eye, the two of them clashed head-on, exchanging dozens of kicks, while their hands didn't stop for a moment, unleashing a fierce and violent offense, engaging in a intense and hard-hitting battle with each other.

  The audience on the platform was silent, and everyone was stunned. Originally, they thought Xia Chen was one realm lower, even if he could challenge a higher level, it would definitely be with You Dou as the main, but unexpectedly, he started with close combat, and not only that, he didn't back down at all, and it seemed like Chu Zhen Tian was actually at a disadvantage.

  Is this world upside down or what? When did postnatal 4th level surpass postnatal 5th level?

  Zheng Yi's face turned gloomy, thinking that this little bastard was so formidable, no wonder he could easily block his one move. Chu Zhen Tian, you must not disappoint me, this yuan stone is the only one I have, losing would be a huge loss.

  Chen Qiushui's face revealed a drunken smile, Xia Chen, you've become even stronger than before... Every time I see your growth, I find that I underestimated you. Perhaps, you can advance to the Divine Communication realm before me!

  In the arena, the two were still in close combat, with such a close attack that it was impossible to dodge. Every punch and every kick came as fast as shooting stars, either hard to resist or dissolve.

  But in either case, Xia Chen was in his element.

  Qī yǐng quán, qīng yuán zhǎng, pī lì tuǐ, shén luò zhǎng…… A set of the most basic postnatal skills was continuously demonstrated by him, although it was the most basic skill, but it brought the essence of an extremely high realm, with a move, accompanied by an indescribable elegance and perfection, making everyone look like they were in a trance.

  If it were ten days ago, Xia Chen would not have dared to collide with Chu Zhen Tian like this. His skills were strong, but after all, he was one realm short, and neither his physical body nor his true energy could compare to Chu Zhen Tian's.

  However, after refining the first layer of Mahayana Golden Body, whether it was physical strength or power, Xia Chen had completely surpassed Chu Zhen Tian. A hard collision would not be feared at all, and the difference in realm had become negligible.

  Moreover, Xia Chen has a terrifying true energy control power, and is even more clever than clumsy. Whether it's taking the initiative or counterattacking, he can completely suppress Chu Zhen Tian.

  When using these acquired skills again, Xia Chen had no more scruples and could play to the fullest extent.

  Hoo-hoo-hoo!

  Xia Chen's fists were flying high, letting out three loud roars, opening and closing in a flurry of punches, like the rivers and seas overflowing, each fist as fierce as the last, charging straight at Chu Zhen Tian.

  His fists flew faster and faster, each punch more complex than the last, until it was impossible to tell what he was doing.

  With a soft "ding", amidst the complex movements, a bright and dazzling light suddenly burst forth, causing everyone to involuntarily blink their eyes.

  "What is that? The crowd was shocked and stared at each other, the technique used by Xia Chen was no longer any of the ones they knew, and it seemed to have exceeded the category of acquired basic techniques."

  Chu Zhen Tian's face turned bright red as he continuously retreated, his eyes flashing with shock. Although he had fallen into a disadvantageous position earlier, he could still resist, but with Xia Chen's latest punch, the explosive power was several times stronger than before!

  A wave of overwhelming power came, and Chu Zhen Tian suddenly felt an unprecedented crisis. He took a deep breath, raised his palms, and with all his true energy concentrated to the extreme, a pair of flesh palms instantly turned blood red.

  "Blood Palm!" Chen Qiushui's eyes narrowed slightly as he said softly.

  Chu Zhen Tian let out a loud roar, and his terrifying power burst forth, fiercely meeting Xia Chen's unstoppable fist.

  Bang!

  A loud noise came, and the two figures did not move, but the bluestone under their feet instantly produced dense cracks that extended far away.

  Xia Chen's entire body emitted a loud cracking sound of muscles tightening, and he looked at Chu Zhen Tian with some surprise. Just now, he had condensed the Thunder Seal in his acquired foundation skills, so others couldn't see it.

  With the power of Lei Ting Yin, it's no wonder that Chu Zhen Tian was able to withstand it. I thought he would be blown away directly, but unexpectedly, he was able to block it. It seems that this old man's Blood-colored Palm is quite unusual.

  With a cold laugh, Xia Chen shouted: "Chu Zhen Tian, I didn't expect you still had some skills, but even if you don't fly out, you'd better spit out some blood for me!"

  His hand shook, and a powerful force was suddenly released, instantly pushing Chu Zhentian out several meters away.

  Chu Zhen Tian clenched his jaws tightly, forcing himself not to vomit blood! However, his entire body's qi and blood churned, his throat bitter and astringent, but he could no longer bear it. With a loud "wa", a mouthful of dark purple blood spurted out directly.

  The crowd gasped in unison, staring at Chu Zhen Tian, finding it hard to believe that this powerful disciple who had already stepped into the sixth realm of the Post-Heaven could be forced to spit blood by a mere Post-Heaven Fourth Realm disciple.

  "Xia Chen, I didn't think you could push me to this point, you're indeed very strong. However, everything ends here!" Chu Zhen Tian suddenly lifted his head, his eyes filled with a crazy red glow, "Now let you taste the flavor of being worse off than death."

  He let out a sudden loud roar, his upper body clothes instantly bursting open, turning into pieces of torn fabric, revealing incredibly strong muscles, and a pair of palms that were thick like blood. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if a faint mist was emanating from his palms.

  "Blood Devouring Body!" Chu Zhen Tian charged over like a war chariot, his blood-red palm carrying an aura of terror and strength, striking down at Xia Chen's chest with lightning speed.

  Xia Chen's face changed, and from a distance of five zhang, he felt the terrifying aura of the crimson palm, as if under this one palm, all matter would be annihilated!

  This is Chu Zhen Tian's strongest blow!

  Xia Chen took a deep breath, and the first layer of the Golden Body's technique was fully activated, combined with the Thunder Seal Technique. As his power wildly surged upwards, he seemed to become brighter, like a bolt of lightning illuminating his entire body.

  Everyone watched this scene, their faces frozen in shock, hardly daring to believe what kind of skill could make Xia Chen suddenly appear with such an extraordinary phenomenon.

  Zheng Yi involuntarily stood up, his facial muscles twitching as he glared fiercely.

  Chen Qiushui's beautiful eyes were filled with a shocked expression, and even she couldn't tell what kind of technique Xia Chen had used.

  Four hundred yards! Chu Zhen Tian howled and whistled, like a blood-colored meteor, rapidly closing in on Xia Chen.

  Xia Chen raised his hands, seemingly motionless, but around the periphery of his still hands, four fist silhouettes suddenly appeared out of nowhere. These fist silhouettes grew thicker and heavier, almost instantly enveloping half of Xia Chen's body.

  In the midst of a dense and invisible fist shadow, Xia Chen's hands finally moved.

  Three feet! Two feet! One foot!

  Chu Zhen Tian finally rushed to Xia Chen's side, and the two figures merged together in an instant, like fleeting shadows under the sunlight.

  A bright red light and a dazzling glare flashed on for an instant, then went out, dazzling everyone's eyes.

  Two people who had merged suddenly separated and stood still after rushing out for more than ten feet.

  Everyone stared in amazement, what just happened was too fast, who won after all?

  Chen Qiushui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her gaze.

  Hehehe......

  Chu Zhen Tian suddenly turned around, pointing at Xia Chen, his face stiff, a sobbing sound coming from his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say it, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
