Chapter 21

Renyixing's speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, everyone could only see a black light rushing to Dongfang Bubai.

Seeing the palm coming from the black light, Dongfang Bubai's face showed a serious expression for the first time. He could feel the power contained in the palm, which was much stronger than his own.

However, he could not dodge, as the two of them had already been locked in a struggle. If he retreated, it would expose a weakness, which Renyixing would seize.

Moreover, he had never thought of dodging. This was a good opportunity, as he had never truly faced off against a master-level expert. Renyixing was the best choice.

Dongfang Bubai let out a cold snort, his face showing a fierce look. He gathered his inner strength, which he could control at will, and channeled it in a special way through his arm. His white, jade-like right hand immediately turned a blood red, like a blood如意 (ruyi), crystal clear and emitting a dazzling blood-red light. He fiercely struck Renyixing's palm.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed, and the solid marble floor within five meters of Dongfang Bubai and Renyixing was immediately shattered by the powerful force.

Dongfang Bubai's body was also forcefully pushed back, flying rapidly backward as if he had been hit hard. His inner strength was ultimately much weaker than that of a master-level expert.

Many people's hearts sank, and they looked at Dongfang Bubai with concern.

Renyixing had already stood in Dongfang Bubai's original position, and he did not stop. He charged at Dongfang Bubai even more fiercely, the black gas surrounding him making him look like a god or a demon.

Dongfang Bubai's body was still retreating rapidly, but it was not due to the impact. He was retreating on his own, as the impact had disrupted the locked qi between them, allowing him to break free from Renyixing's qi lock.

He had underestimated the power of a master-level expert's inner strength. Not only was its purity two to three times stronger than his own, but its quantity was also more than twice as much. This was still based on his first thread of inner strength reaching the perfect realm, which was always stronger than others at the same level. Additionally, his natural meridians were twice as wide as those of ordinary people, and his capacity was also twice as much, which narrowed the gap in inner strength between them.

Moreover, in that palm strike, Dongfang Bubai had used the Jade-Shattering Palm at the perfect realm, but he still fell into a complete disadvantage. If he had not retreated quickly and used his unloading technique, he would have been injured by the impact.

However, this disadvantage only fueled Dongfang Bubai's ferocity. Since he entered the martial arts world, he had fallen into a disadvantage many times, but he was the only one who survived in the end.

He stopped retreating, and his left hand finally left the sword hilt. His hands moved rapidly, and a blood-red gas spread from his white, jade-like hands, rushing towards Renyixing even faster than Renyixing himself.

Boom!

A louder noise echoed, and a clear shockwave spread from around the two. The ground where they stood was completely shattered, and small stones shot out in all directions like hidden weapons, causing many people to retreat in shock.

Swoosh!

A white figure was pushed back again, and it was Dongfang Bubai. Clearly, he was still at a complete disadvantage, but this time Renyixing was not as relaxed. His body paused slightly before charging at Dongfang Bubai again.

Dongfang Bubai let out a cold snort, his face pale, clearly injured by the impact. However, he did not care, and his pale face showed a fierce look. His hands moved in a mysterious trajectory.

The blood-red gas immediately shone brightly around him, and his white clothes were dyed blood red. A powerful and majestic aura rose from Dongfang Bubai.

Both palms came out, forcefully rushing towards Renyixing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black light and blood-red light collided head-on, and the powerful air currents carried the black and red gases everywhere, making many people's scalps tingle.

"Hmph!"

Dongfang Bubai let out a muffled snort, his body retreating rapidly, his face even paler. He swallowed the blood that rose to his mouth with pride, unwilling to show any weakness in front of others.

Renyixing also retreated several steps, his palm twitching, and his face showed surprise and doubt.

"Great Nine Heavens Palm! You actually cultivated the Great Nine Heavens Palm!"

Renyixing said with a grim face.

"Hmph, is this the strength of a master-level expert?" Dongfang Bubai said with a look of disdain, but he did not deny Renyixing's words.

"Hmph, then let me show you the true strength of a master-level expert." Renyixing roared and charged at Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai's face turned serious, and he rushed forward without showing any weakness, even faster than Renyixing. The majestic aura around him became even stronger.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

Loud explosions echoed continuously, and the originally hard marble floor became as fragile as tofu, shattering within a radius of two hundred meters in an instant.

At this moment, the scene of the battle changed again. Dongfang Bubai finally displayed his supreme speed and ferocity in front of Renyixing. With his speed much faster than Renyixing's, he repeatedly struck Renyixing, leaving Renyixing no choice but to stand still and clash with Dongfang Bubai's Great Nine Heavens Palm.

This was exactly what Dongfang Bubai wanted. Each clash ended with Dongfang Bubai being pushed back, but strangely, he continued to charge at Renyixing ferociously, not drawing the sword at his waist.

"Teach, Teach Lord! This, this is...!" On the stone steps, including Zhou Tianli, everyone was stunned. They had never expected the competition to turn out this way. Dongfang Bubai could fight Renyixing to this extent without drawing his sword, which was simply unbelievable.

They had also recognized the Great Nine Heavens Palm that Dongfang Bubai was using. The Great Nine Heavens Palm was the true treasure of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, the only heaven-level palm technique, and only the sect leader could learn it. This was why Renyixing's face had turned grim, as he had not expected Dongfang Bubai to learn it, and it seemed he had cultivated it to a high level.

Zhou Tianli's thoughts were the most complex. He had personally given the Great Nine Heavens Palm to Dongfang Bubai, thinking that Dongfang Bubai would eventually become the sect leader, so he did not care about the Great Nine Heavens Palm.

He was not very concerned about being discovered, but he was concerned that he had underestimated Dongfang Bubai. In just one year, Dongfang Bubai had cultivated the Great Nine Heavens Palm to the initial stage of great accomplishment.

And what about Zhou Tianli? After more than a hundred years, he had barely reached the initial stage of great accomplishment. How could Zhou Tianli not feel disheartened? Even Li Gong, who had been defeated by Dongfang Bubai, had only cultivated the Demon Hand to the minor accomplishment stage. Otherwise, Dongfang Bubai might have lost.

How powerful was the Great Nine Heavens Palm at the great accomplishment stage? Just look at how Dongfang Bubai could fight a master-level expert with his innate eighth level. Of course, Dongfang Bubai's own supreme ferocity was also a major factor, and Renyixing's master-level expertise was...

"Alright, watch this battle carefully. Dongfang Bubai's strength is not just this!" Zhou Tianli said softly, knowing that the outcome of the match was already decided.

With Dongfang Bubai's determination, his strongest skill had always been the sword. He would never change that, and if he did, he would not be so powerful. Renyixing had been unable to defeat Dongfang Bubai, who had not drawn his sword, so he was bound to lose.

Everyone's faces turned stunned when they heard Zhou Tianli's words, then they showed wild joy, looking at Dongfang Bubai with fiery and admiring eyes.

However, there was still some hesitation. They did not have Zhou Tianli's insight, and in their minds, Dongfang Bubai was only so powerful because of the Great Nine Heavens Palm. Could his sword technique be even more powerful? Only Xiang Wentian's body tensed, his forehead sweating, feeling nervous.

Boom!

Another powerful clash, Dongfang Bubai was pushed back several meters, but Renyixing also retreated several steps. As soon as Renyixing was ready, Dongfang Bubai charged again. It seemed that the clashes had no effect on him.

Renyixing's face turned even paler, feeling angry, shocked, and a bit ashamed. He was a master-level expert, yet he could not defeat someone at the innate eighth level. How could he bear this, even if that person was Dongfang Bubai?

Thinking this, Renyixing's face turned even grimmer, his black hair flying wildly, his hands showing veins. He suppressed the backlash from the clash and forcefully struck Dongfang Bubai.

"Good move!" Dongfang Bubai sneered, rushing towards Renyixing even faster.

His palm struck with a majestic and powerful force, at least one level stronger than at the beginning. Do not underestimate one level; sometimes it is a whole new realm.

Boom!

The two palms clashed again, and suddenly the majestic aura around Dongfang Bubai surged, as if breaking through a boundary. The blood-red light also surged.

Boom!

The two separated again. This time, Dongfang Bubai retreated a few meters less, while Renyixing retreated about four meters.

This made Renyixing's face change. He suddenly realized something and looked at Dongfang Bubai with shock and anger. "You actually used me to practice!"

"Practice! What do you mean?"

"Left Envoy Ren said Right Envoy Dong used him to practice. What does that mean?"

...

...

On the stone steps, everyone was also shocked and doubtful. Although they had an answer in their hearts, they still found it hard to believe. This was too terrifying, so they all looked at Zhou Tianli, as he had the highest status and martial arts skills here.

Zhou Tianli sighed and said solemnly, "Right Envoy Dong's Great Nine Heavens Palm has reached the initial stage of great accomplishment. Just now, he used Left Envoy Ren as a whetstone, allowing the Great Nine Heavens Palm to break through to the middle stage of great accomplishment."
