Chapter 89: The Battle of Three Punches
Bang!
Duan Tianye moved directly; he stepped forward and appeared right in front of Yun Yi, moving with incredible speed like a flash of black lightning.
Duan Tianye’s movement was very simple, just a punch.
But this punch carried the weight of a mountain, bursting forth with the power of a dragon and tiger. His face was cold, clearly showing that he did not take Yun Yi seriously. In his eyes, a single punch could end the battle.
"Good comeback."
Yun Yi’s eyes sparkled with fighting spirit. The Innate Dao Body was working at its peak, dark energy spreading throughout his body. Facing Duan Tianye’s attack, he also threw a straightforward punch to meet Duan Tianye’s fist.
"You are overestimating yourself."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Duan Tianye’s mouth. He thought Yun Yi would give his all to block his punch, but he did not expect Yun Yi to be so arrogant, daring to clash head-on with him. It was like seeking death. Since the other side sought death, Duan Tianye would not hold back.
Countless eyes were nervously watching as two black fists collided in the most brutal way, and the fierce power shook the air, making a hissing sound.
Many disciples looked worried; some estimated that if they stood between the two, they would surely be turned into a pancake by the punch.
Hiss…
In the moment their fists collided, Yun Yi felt as if he had been struck by a towering mountain. He involuntarily took a step back, his feet scraping against the hard ground, creating a shower of sparks.
With that step back, Yun Yi moved at least five or six strides away. His punching arm trembled violently, blood emerged from his mouth, and he was completely numb.
"What a powerful guy."
Yun Yi’s pupils constricted. As a strong Innate Dao Body, this was the first time his physical body had experienced a setback in such a collision. Of course, it wasn’t that the Innate Dao Body was weak, but rather that the gap in cultivation between them was too great. Plus, Duan Tianye also possessed the rare Heavenly Demon Physique, an incredibly ancient body type that traced back to ancient times.
However, Duan Tianye’s strength did not make Yun Yi feel even a hint of fear. Instead, his fighting spirit grew even stronger. Meeting such a formidable opponent today in the Yanwu family made Yun Yi’s trip worthwhile; daring to venture into the second-tier area was worth it.
Opposite him, the unmoving Duan Tianye couldn’t help but let out a soft sound of surprise. His gaze towards Yun Yi began to change slightly.
"This is interesting."
Duan Tianye’s eyes flickered. Although he had only thrown a casual punch, the power of that punch was something no one in the entire second-tier area could withstand. The young man before him, merely at the peak of the third grade of the Innate Realm, was unexpectedly able to withstand his punch. How could Duan Tianye not be astonished?
Duan Tianye had his own pride, but even with his pride, he had to admit that when he was at the third grade of the Innate Realm, he could not match Yun Yi’s level. In other words, if they were to battle at the same level now, he, Duan Tianye, would already have lost.
"Yun Yi, next, I will throw three punches. After the three punches, if you can still stand here, I, Duan Tianye, will admire you."
Duan Tianye spoke; the word "admire" may seem ordinary, but when it comes from Duan Tianye, it carries a completely different meaning.
The Yanwu family’s strange genius, a madman and a prodigy, has never admired anyone, not even Xiao Ruoshui with her Dual Spiritual Body has made Duan Tianye say the word "admire."
In fact, throughout the Yanwu family and even in the entire Xuanzhou State, there isn’t a single genius who can make Duan Tianye take a second glance.
This is Duan Tianye, this is the Heavenly Demon Physique, this is his pride.
Today, if he can make Duan Tianye say the word "admire," then Yun Yi will surely become famous, a source of pride for the younger generation.
However, trying to withstand Duan Tianye’s three punches is not an easy task; it could even be life-threatening.
Duan Tianye is arrogant, but he has the right to be; in the entire second-tier region, no one dares to claim they can withstand Duan Tianye’s three punches, and no one has ever tried.
At this moment, countless eyes are on Yun Yi, all wanting to see how he will respond; after all, in the previous clash, Yun Yi had already lost and had realized how fearsome Duan Tianye is.
In people’s eyes, if Yun Yi were a smart person, he would choose to stop and back out at this moment.
Even if Yun Yi gives up now and admits defeat to Duan Tianye, no one would look down on him. With his achievements today, he is already worthy of respect among the younger generation and will definitely be valued by the Yanwu family.
"Come on."
Yun Yi’s spirit was soaring, full of fighting intent. The recovery ability of his Innate Dao Body was very strong; the shock from that previous punch had already almost healed in a very short time.
Today, it was hard to meet such a great opponent like Duan Tianye, so how could Yun Yi give up and let him win? That was impossible.
Since Duan Tianye wanted to say the word "surrender," Yun Yi would fulfill that for him.
Yun Yi actually accepted the challenge, and the atmosphere in the Martial-arts Arena clearly became more excited.
A true spectacle was about to unfold, and everyone’s eyes were filled with eagerness. Opportunities to see Duan Tianye in action were rare.
"Good, I like your character. If you admitted defeat immediately, it would actually make me look down on you."
Duan Tianye praised him; he rarely praises anyone.
In mid-air.
"Miss, should we stop them? That madman Tianye could easily knock that kid out with three punches."
"Yes, Miss, this new disciple, with both Dark and Fire Dual Spirit Bodies, is a rare talent. If Tianye kills him, it would be a big loss for our Yanwu family."
"The young man is too proud and always unwilling to accept defeat; Yun Yi does not realize how powerful Tianye is."
…
A few elders began to worry, hoping Xiao Ruoshui would step in to stop the fight and protect a genius for the Yanwu family.
Xiao Ruoshui looked calm, her beautiful eyes scanning around, and said, "From that exchange just now, Yun Yi already understands Tianye’s strength. I believe Yun Yi is not foolish and will not rashly fight when he knows his opponent is strong. He must have his own confidence and plans. Besides, I want to see how he responds to Tianye’s next three punches. If he indeed falls to Tianye, it only shows he is arrogant and lacks luck. We can do without such a reckless person in the Yanwu family."
Genius always grows through adversity. Xiao Ruoshui wants to see just how much potential Yun Yi has and what makes him worthy to compete with Duan Tianye.
A few elders stopped talking. In the Yanwu family, when the clan leader was in seclusion to focus on training, Xiao Ruoshui had the final say over the entire family. No one could question her abilities.
