Chapter 150 – Shocking the Entire Audience
“Arrogant brat. Today, I shall let you know the difference between heaven and earth!”
Murong Yi was angered by Yun Che’s words. He felt as if a little mouse was being arrogant in front of him, a lion. He extended his hand towards Yun Che, and said scornfully: “Come, let me see how you’re going to amuse me.”
With Murong Yi’s identity, he obviously wouldn’t take the initiative to attack Yun Che in front of such a large audience. Yun Che also stopped talking. His two legs kicked off the ground, reaching the absolute limit of his speed in an instant. A shadowy blur flew towards Murong Yi, and a punch directly smashed towards Murong Yi’s chest.
Yun Che evidently poured his full strength into that strike. He held nothing back, and did not leave room for any follow-up attacks. Which also meant that, this strike of his, was an actual head-on smash.
A second ranker of the True Profound Realm attacking a ninth ranker of the True Profound Realm head on? All the Outer Palace disciples watching the confrontation almost could not hold in their laughter. If Yun Che were to use his movement skills, he might really be able to block one or two attacks. But he actually clashed head-on right from the start… he was actively seeking death!
“Idiot!” Murong Yi gave a cold laugh. With a wave of his right fist, the profound strength of a ninth ranker at the True Profound Realm was released, bringing about a whizzing gust of profound energy in an instant. He ruthlessly smashed towards Yun Che’s chest, and whispered these cold-hearted words: “Lie on the ground and cry for me.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Yun Che’s right fist directly collided with Murong Yi’s torrent of profound energy and three continuous dull bangs resounded. As if it was a balloon being forcefully exploded, Murong Yi’s torrent of profound energy scattered from the collision. But Yun Che’s attack did not weaken even a slightest and his straight right fist was now only five feet away from Murong Yi’s chest.
“Wh… what!!”
Murong Yi, who was originally scornfully preparing to see Yun Che heavily injured on the ground, was greatly shocked. His body instinctively retreated, and all the profound strength in his body, with his quickest speed possible, concentrated onto his two arms which were blocking the front of his chest.
Bang!!
There was yet another loud sound. Yun Che’s right fist heavily collided with Murong Yi’s right arm. In an instant, a torrent of profound energy exploded at the point of collision, blasting the two away from each other. Yun Che flew back a distance of fifteen feet, and caught his balance. Then, he casually swung his right arm. As for Murong Yi, he retreated three steps back, and he stood there for a long while without making any movements. His pair of eyes stared at Yun Che long and hard as his entire face became furiously red.
At that moment, the entire hall was in a state of silence. All the disciples were thoroughly dumbfounded. No one expected that the result was actually like this. In a duel with such a great disparity in strength between the two sides, when their first exchange was actually a direct collision using profound strength, they initially thought Yun Che would lose terribly in an instant, and even suffer heavy injuries. But… those two actually looked to be evenly matched!
How was that possible!?
And as to whether it was actually an even match, a few were able to see that even clearer. In the pavilion, Qin Wushang’s face revealed a shocked expression, and slowly, it grew into a smile. Although Yun Che flew back by fifteen feet while Murong Yi was only pushed three steps back, there wasn’t any change in Yun Che’s expression, and the atmosphere emitting from his body was as calm as ever. As for Murong Yi… his right arm was evidently slightly trembling, and his five extended fingers were displaying a slight numbed state… Evidently, his hand was numbed directly from the collision earlier between his hand and Yun Che’s fist. His expression, was even uglier to behold.
“This is… a lie right? That Yun Che, is obviously only at the second level of the True Profound Realm!”
“Senior brother Murong Yi must have definitely only tested Yun Che casually, and did not even use a tenth of his profound strength. That must be it.”
“Why aren’t you laughing anymore?” Facing Murong Yi, whose expression was ugly to behold, the corner of Yun Che’s lips curved as he asked sarcastically.
The numbing sensation of Murong Yi’s right fist finally calmed a little. With a sullen face, he forcefully laughed: “Do you think, because you were able to take one of my attacks, victory is in your grasp? What a joke! Earlier, I did not even use a half of my profound strength. In my eyes, you’re still a laughable little mouse… Die!!”
Murong Yi’s body shook, and his profound energy was released without any restraints. All the muscles in his body expanded; his bones crackled, and below his feet, a violent wind suddenly swirled as he charged towards Yun Che with shocking speed.
“It’s the high-grade profound movement skill, ‘Shadow Chasing Steps’! When Murong Yi uses it, it’s basically being executed to perfection!”
“Senior brother Murong Yi even used his profound movement skill… Is he preparing to defeat Yun Che in a single blow?”
Murong Yi’s body became a speeding shadow. His speed was surprisingly quick; in half a second, he had already charged right in front of Yun Che. Then suddenly, his shadowy figure flashed. He strangely transversed by half a step, and he instantly tilted his attacking target from Yun Che’s front to Yun Che’s side, fiercely crashing towards Yun Che’s ribs with his elbow… The onlooking disciples cried out of shock from that instantaneous change.
With such a shocking speed, it was already hard for people to immediately react, but he still managed to swiftly change his posture… While using this mysterious profound movement skill, it would not be possible for the opponent to react at all.
But in the next moment, what everyone saw caused them to hold their breath.
Yun Che’s reaction speed was quick, much quicker than everyone’s predictions. He seemingly straightened his left arm, blocked his side, and thus collided heavily with Murong Yi’s elbow. Within the spread of profound energy ripples, the faint sound of bones crackling resounded.
Although Murong Yi was shocked that his attack was actually blocked, he once again revealed a cold smile… A blow using his full strength, so what if he blocked it? The only outcome that would happen next, was his opponent’s arm being broken, his entire body severely injured from his own powerful rush of profound energy, and getting sent flying while vomiting a mouthful of blood. But, his cold smile only lasted for a moment as his face completely stiffened.
Because the recoil he felt after his elbow collided with Yun Che’s arm was so overbearing that all the blood veins and organs in his body writhed for a moment. The floor under Yun Che’s feet largely cracked and his two feet also sank deeply into the ground but he was not pushed back by even a single step…
He actually blocked that attack completely and thoroughly.
How… How is this possible! Murong Yi’s entire body stiffened; his pupils contracted and violently trembled. From his and Yun Che’s first exchange, the outcome was that they were on equal grounds. This made him greatly feel embarrassed. Hence, this strike was completely unrestrained and used a hundred percent of his strength. It was a surprise attack accompanied with a profound movement skill. He obviously wanted to end Yun Che with that single strike. But not only had his full powered attack been totally blocked by Yun Che, he did not even get pushed back a single step.
Impossible! This is impossible! This is definitely a coincidence! Or maybe he’s just holding it in, and had actually already suffered heavy internal injuries!
