Chapter 85

"Are you only capable of this level?" Ye Xiwén sneered coldly.

Ye Xiwén swiftly struck out with two palms, generating a rumbling thunderstorm sound. This set of palm techniques, in Ye Xiwén's hands, could be described as reaching the pinnacle of mastery.

"Bang!" Ye Xiwén struck out with one palm, and Chǔ Xún raised his hand to block. Instantly, a loud noise resounded, and a terrifying force almost numbed Chǔ Xún's arm.

Chǔ Xún's icy true qi instantly flowed through his arm, making it feel cool and dispelling the numbness.

He was utterly shocked by the extent of this person's strength.

Previously, whether it was Huò Chéng or Wēn Shìyáng, their strength was far inferior to Ye Xiwén, so they couldn't make Ye Xiwén fully unleash his power.

When Ye Xiwén unleashed his full strength with one palm, they would immediately have their bones shattered and fall unconscious. Outsiders couldn't even sense how terrifying Ye Xiwén's strength was.

No matter how much force they used, they would directly fall unconscious.

However, Chǔ Xún was different. Ye Xiwén's combat power was on par with a third-level innate expert, but Chǔ Xún was also close to the third level. The difference was not significant, and by using true qi to neutralize the remaining force, he managed to avoid being directly knocked out by Ye Xiwén.

But precisely because of this, Chǔ Xún could truly feel the terror of Ye Xiwén. The power of nineteen flying dragons, all unleashed, was more than twice the power of Chǔ Xún, who had the strength of nine flying dragons.

Converting one-tenth of true qi could generate the power of one flying dragon, two-tenths of true qi could generate the power of two flying dragons, and when three-tenths of innate true qi were converted, one could possess the power of five flying dragons.

As a peak second-level innate expert who had converted four-tenths of innate true qi, Chǔ Xún's strength was at the peak of nine flying dragons. If he could break through to the third level, converting five-tenths of innate true qi, his strength would increase to ten flying dragons, which was Ye Xiwén's current level. A peak third-level innate expert who had converted six-tenths of innate true qi would have the power of twenty to forty-nine flying dragons.

Ye Xiwén's strength had already reached the peak of converting five-tenths of innate true qi, which was the power of nine flying dragons, twice that of Chǔ Xún.

Such a forceful blow, just one palm, instantly numbed both of Chǔ Xún's arms.

Although Ye Xiwén's palm didn't defeat Chǔ Xún, it made Chǔ Xún inwardly suffer greatly. What kind of monster was this? He looked like just a first-level innate expert, but his strength was so terrifying.

Chǔ Xún could see that although Ye Xiwén used the techniques of palm strikes, he was using brute force to force Chǔ Xún to use true qi to defend.

Such strength, even if not on par with those three invincible figures, was still one of the top experts below them. This Green Peak Mountain branch sect was just a small branch in a remote rural area, so how could it produce such a person?

But he didn't have time to think much, as Ye Xiwén had already launched an attack. Ye Xiwén's attacks were relentless, and with just this one move, he had completely taken the upper hand.

Thunder and Wind!

Lightning and Thunder!

Ghostly Thunder Axe!

Thunder on the Ground!

These four moves of the Thunderhand were used by Ye Xiwén to perfection. Each move flowed seamlessly into the next, almost without any pause, flawlessly. The moves almost seemed to summon the rumbling of heaven and the awe-inspiring power of the heavens.

Chǔ Xún was at a disadvantage from the start and was extremely frustrated. How could he not know the Thunderhand? It was almost practiced by every branch sect and many people throughout the entire Great Yue Kingdom. But no one had ever truly mastered it like Ye Xiwén, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

Even the elders he had seen couldn't compare to Ye Xiwén.

But what truly frustrated him was that he was being suppressed by a basic technique. He had practiced basic techniques when he was young, but as his progress advanced, he quickly abandoned them and moved on to intermediate, advanced, and innate techniques.

He never thought that a basic technique could be so terrifying, especially in Ye Xiwén's hands.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sound of Ye Xiwén and Chǔ Xún's confrontation was like two weapons clashing, producing a metallic collision sound.

The terrifying force sent shockwaves through the surrounding air.

"These two are so terrifying. I didn't expect Ye Xiwén to be so capable, able to match Chǔ Xún without showing any signs of defeat!"

"Not showing any signs of defeat? Clearly, Chǔ Xún is already at a disadvantage. In no time, he will be defeated!" a disciple sneered.

"Moreover, Ye Xiwén hasn't even used his most powerful technique yet. I saw it clearly that day; Wēn Shìyáng was defeated by Ye Xiwén's blade intent, with no means of resistance. Now, without even drawing his blade, Chǔ Xún can't hold his ground. Once Ye Xiwén draws his blade, Chǔ Xún will be no match!"

"I didn't expect Ye Xiwén to be so powerful. Just from this, apart from those three, Ye Xiwén is definitely one of the top disciples in the branch sect!"

Chǔ Xún's hands were already numb from Ye Xiwén's relentless attacks. Using true qi couldn't alleviate the numbness, and his frustration grew. This can't be possible, how can this be? He's not the best with a blade, right?

Without even using his blade, is he going to be defeated? How can this be!

This time, Ye Xiwén demonstrated what it meant to overpower with brute force. Although the Thunderhand was clearly inferior to Chǔ Xún's numerous techniques, the terrifying mastery of the Thunderhand and the power of nineteen flying dragons forced Chǔ Xún into a disadvantage.

But Ye Xiwén didn't care about Chǔ Xún's frustration. He roared and unleashed the move "Thunder on the Ground."

Chǔ Xún, whose hands were already completely numb, could no longer block. With a惨叫, he was blasted away.

Today's update is a bit late, and I'm quite frustrated. Someone is leeching my internet, and it's so bad that I can't even open a webpage without waiting for ten to twenty minutes. It's directly affecting my ability to upload chapters, and the internet keeps disconnecting. Does anyone know how to prevent this? That person is so shameless! Leeching the internet is one thing, but making it unusable for everyone else is too much. I've been up all night looking for software to deal with him. I can't take it anymore. I admit, I'm not a saint, and I can't just smile and let someone hit me in the face.

If I can't deal with that bastard, I won't be able to sleep for the next few days!

Does anyone have any methods? Any hacker software is fine; the worse the punishment for that bastard, the better!

Xiào Chén is considering whether to learn some hacking techniques. When faced with such situations, one needs to have the ability to protect oneself!
