Asura Mad Emperor

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Li Que couldn't help but let out a derisive laugh, "That's just preposterous, Brother Yan is in the early stage of the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, and his martial skill, the Great Stele Gale Palm of profound-level high-grade, is overwhelmingly powerful and imposing, dominating him would be a piece of cake!"

Yan Xingyun was even more incensed, a mere Condensed Truth Realm youngster, actually had the gall to lecture him, it was as if he wasn't even in his eyes.

His moves suddenly turned fierce, and in an instant, he closed in with overwhelming pressure, aiming to severely teach Qinchuan a lesson, far more ferocious than before.

Zhou Xi's pretty face couldn't help but change at the sight, fearing that Yan Xingyun might strike too hard and harm Qinchuan's life.

Even though she felt Qinchuan was truly arrogant, the fact that Qinchuan pointed out the unknown ailment of the Taiyin True Meridian with just a single remark, something of life and death importance to her, naturally, she couldn't ignore it.

Just as she was about to make a move to save him, she saw Qinchuan remain calm and composed in the face of Yan Xingyun's thunderous strike, showing no intention of retreating in fear, causing Zhou Xi's heart to stir and she held herself back.

"Bang!"

Just as Yan Xingyun pressed forward, Qinchuan finally made his move.

One could see his fingers coming together like a sword, moving with extreme speed. His form wavered, and he calmly dodged Yan Xingyun's martial skill's sharp edge, his fingers continuously jabbed with the speed of lightning, swiftly targeting Yan Xingyun's collarbone and the crook of his elbow.

Yan Xingyun grunted, immediately feeling his entire right arm go numb and powerless.

He was shocked, and his left hand formed a palm chop.

Qinchuan used the Cloud Palm, using just a gentle force to deflect a thousand pounds, disrupting its trajectory, followed by an instantaneous release of Inch Energy, pressing down on his chest and abdomen, the force exploding.

"Ah…"

Yan Xingyun immediately screamed and flew out, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hardly worth one blow."

Qinchuan withdrew his hand, glanced indifferently at Yan Xingyun collapsed on the ground, and stood with his hands behind his back, declaring.

By the side, Li Que, witnessing this scene, was utterly dumbfounded. Watching Yan Xingyun, who had just been so impressively dominating, suddenly being sent flying by Qinchuan in a single encounter, his eyes immediately filled with disbelief.

"Impossible, how could this be, what just happened? Yan Xingyun was actually sent flying by him?!"

Li Que's face showed disbelief, Yan Xingyun was in the early stage of the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, and he cultivated the high-grade profound-level martial skill, Great Stele Gale Palm!

Yet Qinchuan, just now, didn't perform any impressive martial skills, just a few simple basic moves, and he effortlessly broke through Yan Xingyun's high-grade profound-level martial skill, Great Stele Gale Palm, defeating Yan Xingyun?!

By the side, Zhou Xi was also shocked beyond measure. Although she guessed that Qinchuan might have some reliance, she did not expect Qinchuan to really defeat Yan Xingyun, and to do so crisply and efficiently. Just a few basic moves and a Cloud Palm, an Inch Energy, and he defeated Yan Xingyun like flowing clouds and water.

This made her bright eyes shine; it seemed Qinchuan was not all talk but indeed had some real skills.

Yan Xingyun, who had been sent flying by Qinchuan's palm, had a confused look on his face, equally not expecting himself to lose!

Especially after hearing Qinchuan's words, his face burned with rage, he spat out a mouthful of blood and, overwhelmed by shame and anger, fainted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had previously been so arrogant, using Condensed Truth Realm as a taunt, disregarding Qinchuan completely, but in the exchange of blows, he, a supposed "expert" of the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, was easily crushed by the opponent's hand!

Even worse, the opponent hadn't even used a martial skill, merely several basic martial combat skills, and defeated him thoroughly.

For him, who had never tasted the fruit of defeat, this was utterly humiliating.

"Fainted just like that? Your mental fortitude really needs some work, it's too weak, it must be improved," Qinchuan remarked, frowning.

By the side, the elders who had previously been scuffling had separated. They witnessed the exchange between Qinchuan and Yan Xingyun, and their eyes also widened, feeling equally incredulous.

Immediately after, Elder Zheng burst into laughter and ridiculed, "Elder Yan, your disciple doesn't cut it, he can't even dominate a youngster from the Condensed Truth Realm. With such strength, competing for the position of the Saint Heir is far from enough."

"Looks like the position of the Saint Heir in the end will fall upon my disciple Li Que's head. Li Que, aren't you going to subdue this man?"

Elder Zheng stroked his goatee, laughing loudly, full of confidence in his disciple's strength.

Although Li Que was also at the early stage of the Fourth Layer in the Meridian Opening Realm, there were still strong and weak distinctions within the same realm. In Elder Zheng's eyes, his disciple was naturally superior to others' disciples.

Even at the worst, subduing a minor Condensed Truth Realm was not a matter of hand-to-hand capture, easily achievable?

Hearing Elder Zheng's words, Elder Yan was instantly furious but had no argument to make.

Because, indeed, Yan Xingyun had suffered a clean, thorough defeat at the hands of Qinchuan.

On the other side, upon hearing his master's words, Li Que instantly snapped back to reality, a sharp light bursting forth in his eyes.

Never had he imagined that Yan Xingyun would be defeated by Qinchuan.

However, just because Yan Xingyun was no match for Qinchuan did not mean he was not a match either.

At that moment, Li Que stepped forward confidently, looking at Qinchuan, he said, "I never expected that guy, Yan Xingyun, to be defeated by you. It seems you are not as weak as I imagined, but in front of me, Li Que, you will inevitably face defeat!"

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Before Yan Xingyun was defeated by my hand, you continuously addressed him as 'Brother Yan'. How come in the blink of an eye, you've changed to calling him 'that guy'?"

"The reality of human relationships has indeed revealed your shifting narratives, making them crystal clear!"

Qinchuan said calmly.

Li Que instantly became enraged with shame, "In the world of martial artists, the strong are respected! Cut the nonsense, make your move!"

Qinchuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "If I were to make a move, you would stand no chance at all."

"Arrogant! Since that's the case, let me see your renowned skills!"

Li Que, unable to hold back upon hearing this, bellowed and using a footwork technique of Profound Level, the Cloud Stepping Movement, he immediately pressed towards Qinchuan.

At once, he erupted with True Qi from within his body, raising his hand for a punch, fierce and overbearing, aiming straight for Qinchuan's chest.

Qinchuan stood unmoved as a mountain, giving Li Que a casual glance, "Through-Arm Divine Fist?"

He easily identified the Martial Skill Li Que had executed, causing a slight shock to ripple through Li Que's heart. This fellow had just joined the Congyun Sect and should not have entered the Sect's Martial Pavilion; how could he recognize the Fist Technique he was using at a glance?

Not just him, the elders present at the scene, and Zhou Xi as well, were all astonished.

Recalling earlier, Yan Xingyun's use of the Great Stele Gale Palm seemed also to have been seen through and announced in one go!

"Your form is quite impressive, but the momentum is lacking, and it lacks both Spirituality and adaptability with too many flaws. Better go back and practice a few more years!"

Qinchuan shook his head. As he spoke, Li Que had already approached him, the Through-Arm Divine Fist was formidable indeed, less than three inches away from Qinchuan.

It was then that Qinchuan suddenly made his move; this time, he didn't employ the fighting techniques inscribed in his spirit but instead struck first with a punch, meeting his opponent's flaw-ridden attack head-on.

Although he was only at the Late Stage of the Seventh Layer in the Condensed Truth Realm, his quality of True Qi was extremely high, and the quantity was especially robust, plus his physical body was incomparably strong, with extraordinary foundations.

Moreover, his control over strength was virtually supernatural, with not the slightest waste; every bit of his strength was perfectly utilized. In contrast, although Li Que had a higher Cultivation Realm, his control over strength was not meticulous, leading to significant loss, and the Martial Skill he used also lacked profoundness and was full of flaws.

When the two fists collided, Li Que was immediately shaken so much that he staggered backward repeatedly and finally fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone present, including elders like Gu Chuan, Elder Sun, Elder Six, Elder Yan, and Elder Zheng, as well as Zhou Xi and those two attendants watching the battle, all stood with their mouths gaping, their eyes nearly popping out.

Qinchuan pulled back his fist and looked at the elders, his brow slightly raised, "Is this the talent you speak of? That's all there is to it."

"..."

The crowd was speechless.

Elder Zheng and Elder Yan were both so were so embarrassed and annoyed that their faces turned red, yet they had nothing to say in retort.

All around, there was silence.
