Chapter 323 The Battle of Gods!
“Boom!”
In an instant, the spot where Fang Yu stood sank several meters down!
A large area of the combat platform cracked, and dust rose everywhere!
Even the family representatives dozens of meters away from the combat platform could feel a suffocating pressure!
This was the power of a Martial Saint!
Just a casual palm strike possessed such terrifying might!
Everyone watched with shocked expressions, staring at Zheng Yan’s figure in mid-air.
Zheng Yan now resembled a demon god, his face cold and stern, his black robe fluttering slightly in the wind.
Fang Yu still stood on the combat platform, though he had sunk into the rubble as the platform collapsed.
“You withstood my palm strike without falling. Not bad,” Zheng Yan said coldly, looking down at Fang Yu from above.
Fang Yu didn’t respond. He stomped his foot and his body shot upward!
In an instant, he appeared in front of Zheng Yan, right fist clenched. He threw a punch toward Zheng Yan’s chest!
Zheng Yan’s pupils contracted slightly as he immediately flashed backward.
His speed was so fast that multiple afterimages appeared in the sky!
But the force of Fang Yu’s punch still surged toward him!
Zheng Yan extended both arms forward.
An invisible force like a wave expanded forward, meeting Fang Yu’s punch force, using softness to overcome hardness, completely neutralizing it.
At this moment, Fang Yu moved again, his figure flashing through the air.
In the blink of an eye, he charged to Zheng Yan’s front and threw another punch.
Zheng Yan dodged backward again.
But this time, as if Fang Yu had predicted his movement, he followed with a fierce lunge forward.
In this situation, Zheng Yan couldn’t avoid the punch and had to strike out with his palm to meet it head-on!
“Boom!”
A tremendous sound exploded in the air, as if the entire space was shaking.
Zheng Yan flew back several meters before stabilizing himself.
He looked at Fang Yu in the distance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Fang Yu’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
His right hand, which he had used to block the punch, was faintly aching!
“With such powerful physical strength, it’s no wonder you could defeat a Martial Venerable,” Zheng Yan’s eyes flickered.
“You don’t seem that strong,” Fang Yu said, looking at Zheng Yan with a slight curve to his lips.
Hearing this, Zheng Yan didn’t react much, but the spectators’ expressions changed.
Openly mocking a Martial Saint!?
How bold could he be!?
Although Fang Yu’s performance in forcing Zheng Yan back with one punch was indeed impressive.
But the battle had just begun, and Zheng Yan, as a Martial Saint, had probably shown less than ten percent of his true power!
Fang Yu taunting Zheng Yan so early would only provoke him, making his own death more miserable!
Still too young, unable to keep calm!
Many people below the platform shook their heads secretly.
As if confirming everyone’s thoughts.
After hearing Fang Yu’s words, Zheng Yan’s face darkened, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body!
His body seemed to boil, with wisps of white vapor rising from his skin.
Moments later, Zheng Yan’s skin took on a metallic silver color.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
The Zheng family martial artists standing at the other end of the combat platform were extremely excited.
This was one of the secret techniques passed down to their Zheng family by that master years ago!
The Domineering Body Technique!
When this technique was mastered, it could make one’s body as hard as platinum!
At the same time, it granted immense strength! One punch could shatter mountains!
The Grand Elder using this technique meant he was angry!
Fang Yu would surely die miserably under the Grand Elder’s iron fist!
Now Zheng Yan’s entire body emitted a dazzling silver light.
He looked at Fang Yu, killing intent in his eyes, and said coldly: “Continue… to compete with me in body techniques.”
As he spoke, Zheng Yan charged fiercely toward Fang Yu’s position!
“Whoosh!”
His body cut through the air, making a whistling sound!
It was as if the void itself had been torn apart!
In an instant, he rushed to Fang Yu’s front, attacking with both fists and feet!
His attack speed was extremely fast, each punch and kick aimed at vital areas!
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, extending his right arm to block one of Zheng Yan’s punches.
“Clang!”
The muffled sound of metal collision made everyone’s hearts jump!
Zheng Yan’s raised right foot was about to kick Fang Yu’s abdomen.
Fang Yu extended his left palm and chopped downward!
“Clang!”
Another muffled sound!
This kick from Zheng Yan was also neutralized!
But Zheng Yan’s attacks didn’t stop, instead becoming like a fierce storm!
Due to the Domineering Body Technique, the Zheng family placed more emphasis on body techniques compared to other martial families.
Every martial artist in the Zheng family had to master at least three to five fist techniques and movement techniques for close combat.
And Zheng Yan was the ultimate master among them!
To maximize the effect of the Domineering Body Technique, he had continuously practiced various fist techniques and movement techniques…
It could be said that he had mastered all the famous close-combat body techniques in the Nine Provinces that could be passed down externally, and had integrated them to form his own style.
He was confident that in terms of close combat prowess, he ranked at least in the top three in the Nine Provinces martial world!
Zheng Yan’s offensive was extremely fierce, and each strike contained ultimate power!
His fist techniques were unpredictable, leaving afterimages in the air, making them difficult to track.
Under the surging fists, he also employed movement techniques.
It could be said that he was attacking Fang Yu from all angles without blind spots!
But Fang Yu’s defense made Zheng Yan’s heart tremble slightly.
His attacks had reached such a level, yet not a single one could land on Fang Yu!
Fang Yu’s movement technique was extremely elusive, his body twisting in various ways to avoid the punches and kicks.
The two fought in the air above the combat platform, their figures like lightning, leaving continuous afterimages.
The crowd below couldn’t clearly see the situation of their exchange, only hearing one explosion after another!
These were the sonic booms caused by each strike!
Just the force waves emanating from their attacks had created one crater after another on the ground!
In everyone’s vision, there were only two blurry shadows flashing in the sky, their identities difficult to distinguish!
The Martial Saint aura emanating from Zheng Yan enveloped the entire area, causing the air pressure to drop to a very low point.
If the spectators weren’t all practitioners with cultivation, they would have collapsed long ago.
“This is truly a battle of gods… We ordinary people don’t even have a chance to see it clearly,” someone looked up at the afterimages in the air, face blank, muttering.
On the rooftop of the villa behind the combat platform, Yang Yinzhu stared fixedly at the shadows in the air, her teeth grinding audibly.
Her emotions were extremely tense, wishing she could join the battle herself!
The current situation was different from what she had expected!
She had originally thought that Grand Elder Zheng Yan would easily crush Fang Yu once he made his move.
But now it seemed they were evenly matched!
Yang Yinzhu couldn’t allow any accidents!
She wanted to see Fang Yu die! She was desperate to witness Fang Yu’s painful death with her own eyes!
Every second Fang Yu remained alive was torture for her, filled with uncertainty!
Yang Yinzhu’s eyes were bloodshot as she turned to Zheng Xiuchen and said in a deep voice: “Xiuchen, tell those martial artists to attack together! Don’t waste time!”
Zheng Xiuchen turned to look at Yang Yinzhu, seeing her expression, he patted her shoulder reassuringly: “Yinzhu, don’t worry. The Grand Elder has been in seclusion for too long, now he needs to stretch his muscles. He’s just playing with Fang Yu!”
“Rest assured, even if immortals descended today, they couldn’t save Fang Yu!”
“He will definitely die, definitely die miserably as you wish!”
Hearing Zheng Xiuchen’s words, Yang Yinzhu’s expression softened considerably.
…
In the sky, Fang Yu was still avoiding each of Zheng Yan’s strikes.
“If you don’t have any changes, I’m going to counterattack. This is getting boring,” Fang Yu said lazily.
For Zheng Yan, these words were blatant mockery!
Anger ignited in Zheng Yan’s chest.
His offensive became even more fierce, each strike flashing like lightning, containing enough power to destroy everything!
But Fang Yu still handled it with ease.
By this point, Zheng Yan’s confidence had diminished by half.
His current offensive was already the limit of what he could do now.
Yet he still couldn’t touch a single hair on Fang Yu.
Each of his punches contained supreme power, but they could only hit air!
This inevitably made him feel deflated.
“Well, it seems you have no new tricks,” Fang Yu said calmly.
“Die!”
Zheng Yan shouted coldly, his right fist once again striking toward Fang Yu’s chest.
Fang Yu dodged this punch by moving sideways, flashing to Zheng Yan’s side, and striking his waist with a palm!
Zheng Yan, who had been focused on attacking, couldn’t switch to defense in time!
“Clang!”
With a muffled sound, Zheng Yan’s body fell toward the combat platform below like a cannonball!
“Boom!”
The entire combat platform instantly shattered, debris flying everywhere!
Fang Yu dove down, charging toward Zheng Yan on the ground, his feet together, stomping downward!
“Star Radiance Technique!”
Zheng Yan’s expression changed slightly as he chanted an incantation, his hands forming seals, pushing upward!
A beam of energy containing destructive power surged toward Fang Yu.
Fang Yu didn’t even try to dodge, still stomping toward Zheng Yan!
“Boom!”
The next second, Fang Yu’s figure was engulfed by the energy beam Zheng Yan had released!
A mocking smile appeared on Zheng Yan’s face.
But his smile had barely formed before it froze.
Because Fang Yu’s aura was still coming toward him.
“Bang!”
The next moment, Fang Yu’s feet stomped heavily on Zheng Yan’s chest!
“Rumble!”
Zheng Yan’s body sank straight into the ground.
The ground shook, and the land within a hundred meters collapsed!
The audience was in an uproar, all retreating backward.
Dust flew everywhere, covering the entire space.
At this moment, Zheng Yan was lying dozens of meters underground.
Fang Yu’s foot remained on Zheng Yan’s chest.
The silver-glowing Domineering Body on Zheng Yan’s chest developed crack after crack, then suddenly dissipated!
“Puff!”
Zheng Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Fang Yu with a pale face, his eyes filled only with terror.
At this moment, Fang Yu was surrounded by golden light.
A sacred aura emanated from his body, causing an inexplicable fear to rise in Zheng Yan’s heart!
