Chapter 74: Terrifying Clash.

"Damn it!"

Cao Qitai not only erupted but also became frenzied. In an instant, a fierce aura burst from his body, and a white mystic energy surged out, finally forming a halo that enveloped him entirely.

"Boom!"

The oppressive force generated by the powerful mystic energy from his body spread out, causing the breathing of some spectators near the circle to slightly pause.

"Perfected Nether Realm, Cao Qitai has reached the Perfected Nether Realm!"

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Cao Qitai, the experts of the various families were also shocked. Cao Qitai had actually reached the Perfected Nether Realm.

"Let me see if your strength matches your words."

Cao Qitai looked at Du Shaofu, his gaze containing a hint of coldness. The moment his words fell, his figure shot towards Du Shaofu like an arrow.

"You don't have to be so angry just because I said you're a赘婿."

Du Shaofu also moved. Almost at the same instant Cao Qitai's figure darted forward, a faint golden light covered his body, and he directly collided with Cao Qitai in the same manner.

With the two of them making their move, the tense atmosphere in the square was completely ignited!

"Perfected Nether Realm, Shaofu is at the Perfected Nether Realm."

At this moment, Du Zhenwu and the others finally discerned Du Shaofu's cultivation level from the overwhelming aura he emitted, which was the Perfected Nether Realm.

In a short instant, the two figures in the square collided with incomparable force, creating a shockingly intense impact.

"Boom!"

At the moment of collision, a deafening sound like thunder echoed, and two streams of mystic energy shot out, the light of the mystic energy spreading in a circular arc, forming ripples.

The two separated upon contact. Du Shaofu, enveloped in a faint golden halo, staggered back a step, leaving three cracks in the ground.

"Thud, thud!"

Cao Qitai, enveloped in a mystic energy halo, staggered back several steps. With each step, the square's stone slabs turned to powder, and he finally stabilized himself with a final stomp.

Cao Qitai raised his head, his eyes filled with shock. He hadn't expected that despite being a level higher in cultivation and having received an extraordinary body-strengthening technique from his master, he still ended up at a disadvantage against Du Shaofu.

"How can he be so strong!"

Cao Qitai felt as if he had just collided with a terrifying beast. Du Shaofu's physical body was incredibly powerful.

"Is this the true strength of the two? They are both very strong." Bai Jiru, the head of the Bai family, muttered softly.

"Du Shaofu seems to be a bit stronger. At the Perfected Nether Realm, his physical strength surpasses that of the Perfected Nether Realm, which is quite unbelievable." Ye Baolin was shocked.

"Rip..."

After a brief pause, as everyone was still in shock, Cao Qitai launched another attack.

This time, Cao Qitai did not choose to confront with brute force but appeared in front of Du Shaofu with ghostly speed, his hand seal forming and pointing at Du Shaofu's throat with speed, accuracy, and ferocity.

However, Cao Qitai once again underestimated Du Shaofu's speed. The moment his hand seal was formed, Du Shaofu had already dodged.

"Rip!"

When Du Shaofu reappeared, a fist shattered the air, a sharp whistling sound echoing as it instantly appeared before Cao Qitai's hand seal.

"Bang!"

The two collided, and a series of small energy ripples spread from the point of contact.

"Whoosh..."

Immediately, the two figures flickered, continuously exchanging blows. Each time they touched, they immediately separated, and their speed kept increasing.

In the square, many figures watched the two figures flashing in the center with amazement. With their eyes, most could only see a faint golden light and a white light continuously flickering, leaving long trails of blurred afterimages.

Everyone's attention was completely drawn to the two blurred figures in the center of the square.

The entire square fell into a strange silence, except for the low, dull sounds of the two figures colliding intermittently.

"Bang!"

The two figures separated again upon contact. At this moment, a sneer appeared at the corner of Cao Qitai's mouth. He formed several hand seals, and the trajectory suddenly changed. A vast amount of mystic energy poured into his palm, forming a palm print that seemed to sway left and right.

"Flower Piercing Sealing Palm!"

Cao Qitai lightly shouted, his palm print swaying left and right, continuously sealing the space in front of Du Shaofu, spreading a terrifying aura like a storm.

"What a powerful martial technique, it must be at the peak of the Perfected Nether Realm, approaching the 'Action Rank' level."

"Cao Qitai's aura has also become much stronger, seemingly reaching the peak of the Perfected Nether Realm."

"Truly worthy of being the son of the Liuyun County's county lord, extraordinary!"

As Cao Qitai's palm print was activated, many sharp-eyed experts couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Du Shaofu. After exchanging no less than twenty moves, Cao Qitai was clearly using his full strength to resolve the situation.

Du Shaofu also clearly felt the extraordinary nature of the palm print. He formed several hand seals, and streams of mystic energy flowed through his body's meridians, finally converging in his palm.

At this moment, Du Shaofu's aura became terrifying, and powerful waves of energy continuously rippled around him.

It seemed that countless energies from the heavens and earth were surging into Du Shaofu's body, causing the surrounding space to ripple like boiling water, and even light symbols were surging within him, emitting a terrifying aura.

"It seems he is channeling martial veins, or is this an 'Action Rank' level martial technique?"

"This seems to be the Du family's Surging Waves Palm, but it's not at the Perfected Nether Realm level, how can it be so strong!"

Watching Du Shaofu's move, his terrifying aura once again caused many to be amazed.

"How can the Surging Waves Palm be so strong? It seems different from what is practiced in the clan."

Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong, and other Du family experts were also shocked as they watched Du Shaofu activate the Surging Waves Palm. This was clearly the Du family's Surging Waves Palm, but its power was much stronger than what the clan members practiced.

"Surging Waves Palm!"

Just as the palm print was about to land, Du Shaofu's Surging Waves Palm also formed.

The palm prints clashed, and a sound like a muffled thunder echoed. Instantly, waves of energy like surging waves continuously spread out.

"Rumble!"

The space trembled, the square shook, and the stone slabs on the ground were all blasted away, with countless dust and debris flying.

The two figures were almost simultaneously pushed back by the flying dust and debris.

"Thud, thud!"

Du Shaofu was pushed back six steps, leaving six inch-deep footprints. When he finally stabilized himself, his face was slightly pale.

Cao Qitai was pushed back thirteen steps, the stone slabs turning to powder, and he finally stabilized himself, his eyes tightly fixed on Du Shaofu.

"Spit!"

At the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted from the corner of Cao Qitai's mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't accept that he was unable to deal with someone whose cultivation was much lower than his.
