Chapter 82

He won.

In the first battle, everyone witnessed the brilliance of martial artists, finding the fights visually stunning and acknowledging that martial artists were indeed formidable.

By the second battle... no one had the heart to praise anything.

There was only cruelty!

At this moment, they finally understood what the martial world and the martial arts community truly were!

More than twenty years ago, the Silver Moon martial arts community was just like this.

Every day, people died; every day, people were killed while seeking revenge or being avenged.

What were they fighting for?

For fame, for profit, or perhaps... the essence of martial artists was to exist for the sake of killing.

Martial artists were born to kill.

Transcending the limits of ordinary humans, exploring the boundaries of the body.

Making a name for oneself, surpassing one's predecessors.

All of this was the path of a martial artist.

"Why... must one person be killed?"

This was the thought in the minds of some superhumans. Although superhumans were already cruel, they often fought for benefits or treasures. However, the martial artists in front of them were fighting just for decades-old grudges, which had even spread to the next generation.

Only at the last moment did some people feel shocked.

Some looked at Li Hao with disbelief.

Even Hao Li Chuan was somewhat incredulous.

Is this Li Hao?

The young guy who has only been practicing martial arts for a few years?

He actually killed a martial artist who had broken through to the Perfect Hundred stage, and who had even vaguely touched the level of a Thousand Combat.

He wondered, if a superhuman had stepped up, what would have happened?

Would a superhuman at the early Sun Radiance stage have killed Li Hao, or would Li Hao have killed the superhuman?

The power of a martial artist, when they grasp the concept of momentum, would be fully revealed.

A mental level of oppression!

If a martial artist truly reaches the Thousand Combat stage, a superhuman of the same level would be no match. Just the overwhelming momentum would weaken 90% of superhumans.

Unless they had special abilities, most offensive-type superhumans would not be a match for a martial artist of the same level.

A single battle, and his name would be known!

After this battle, the reputation of Li Hao, the Five Animals Style successor, would likely resound throughout Silver Moon.

The Silver Moon martial arts community hasn't seen such a young and powerful figure in many years.

In front of them.

Liu Long and a few others quickly rushed forward to support Li Hao, seeing him covered in blood. Liu Long frowned slightly but said nothing, supporting him and walking him to the outskirts.

The atmosphere here... was too oppressive!

So oppressive that even he, a Thousand Combat, wanted to leave.

At this moment, everyone around them also felt a sense of oppression.

Sun Yifei was like a volcano about to erupt.

At this moment, he handed Sun Moxian's body to Sun Hongxue, his lips trembling slightly.

"Go!"

Take your senior brother's body and leave!

Return to the Central Region!

The moment Li Hao killed Sun Moxian, Sun Yifei knew that today... he might not be able to leave.

Yuan Shuo's disciple had progressed so much in a few years, what about Yuan Shuo himself?

At this moment, he could choose to avoid the battle.

But... was it possible?

He was the King of the Level-Headed Staff!

His disciple had already paid with his life on the path of revenge. Could Sun Yifei leave?

Could he avoid the battle?

No, he couldn't!

"Master!"

The two surviving disciples, with tears in their voices, hugged Sun Moxian's body, unable to stop the tears.

They were still too young.

If Sun Moxian were still alive, he might understand his master's heart and could empathize.

But Sun Hongxue and the young man were too young, they hadn't experienced much, and they couldn't understand.

Sun Yifei looked at Sun Hongxue, patted her shoulder, and his eyes remained fixed on her.

Sun Moxian is dead, and now, the inheritance of the Level-Headed Staff rests on you.

He had other disciples, but the ones he brought here were the most talented, the smartest, and the most worthy of cultivation. Even the one who had reached the Tenth Realm was worth cultivating.

He didn't want these people to die here and break the lineage of the Level-Headed Staff.

Sun Hongxue and the young man shed tears, then quickly wiped them away. Sun Hongxue knelt down and bowed.

After a moment, Sun Hongxue, carrying the body, was about to leave...

In the distance, Yuan Shuo suddenly said softly, "Sun Yifei, let Sun Moxian be buried in Silver Moon. If he has no family, let him stay in Silver Moon. The Silver Moon martial arts community is the true home of martial artists... if he died here, let him be buried here!"

Silver Moon martial arts community!

Sun Yifei looked at him, and after a while, he smiled. A long staff shot up into the sky, and in an instant, a huge pit was dug into the ground.

"He has no family, I am his family!"

Sun Yifei laughed, "Very well... Yuan Shuo, this time, you have a point. If you die, I will use your head to honor my disciple!"

Yuan Shuo calmly replied, "If you die... I will have you buried together!"

"Very well!"

Sun Yifei smiled.

He took a step forward, took Sun Moxian's body, and under the reluctant gazes of Sun Hongxue and the young man, buried Sun Moxian in the large pit.

Returning to the Central Region... with no family, no master, it would be too lonely.

Better to stay here!

Here is the hometown of his master, his homeland.

Sun Moxian and Sun Hongxue were orphans in the war, so they took the surname Sun.

The staff pierced the sky!

In an instant, countless rocks rolled, and in the blink of an eye, the deep pit was buried, leaving a mound.

Sun Yifei retracted his staff.

He looked at Sun Hongxue again. Seeing their master's gaze, Sun Hongxue and the young man hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran, dragging their junior brother away, leaving this place of sorrow.

This is a martial artist!

Leaving the inheritance, waiting for revenge, Sun Yifei never said anything about not seeking revenge. It didn't exist.

As long as the inheritance of the Level-Headed Staff remains, the revenge will continue!

Until the day the Level-Headed Staff disappears from the martial arts community.

Otherwise, the Level-Headed Staff will definitely come to Silver Moon and challenge the Five Animals Style again!

And this, Yuan Shuo knew, Li Hao knew, and all the martial artists knew.

But no one stopped them!

Martial artists are often like this, a group of fierce and brutal people, yet they have a somewhat hypocritical kindness. In martial arts battles, it is very rare for an entire family to be wiped out. Even though they know the benefits of cutting off the root, very few would actually do it.

They know that someone will come for revenge, so they wait for them to come. Even before their martial arts are fully developed, they won't deliberately seek them out.

When they grow old, they take in disciples, including the last disciple to guard the door, waiting for the enemies to come for revenge. They won't go to the enemies' place to kill them while they still have the strength to fight.

All of this is because of the rules!

No one set these rules, but they have been passed down through generations.

Yuan Shuo killed many people, but most of them were those he fought. As for their disciples, Yuan Shuo rarely attacked them unless they attacked first.

So, Yuan Shuo has many enemies.

An endless number of enemies!

Until the day these people feel they can no longer seek revenge, or naturally disappear from the martial arts community, these grudges will dissipate.

...

Sun Hongxue and the others left.

No one stopped them.

No one even dared to move.

At this moment, Sun Yifei's fierce gaze swept around, especially cruel.

He stared at everyone, except for Yuan Shuo.

He was waiting, waiting for his disciple to go far enough, or even leave Silver Moon.

He knew that Yuan Shuo would wait.

In the distance, anyone he stared at, whether Sun Radiance or Three Suns, felt a chill from the depths of their hearts. That gaze... brutal, mad, and murderous.

This state lasted for half an hour.

And everyone present endured the agony, waiting with him for half an hour.

At this moment, whether it was the three major organizations or the Night Patrol, they were very默契, no one wanted to anger the crazy Sun Yifei, a top Three Suns late-stage powerhouse.

As for his two disciples, regardless of whether they had a grudge or not, their strength was there, and no one paid too much attention.

After half an hour, Sun Yifei suddenly leaped into the air, rising over a hundred meters in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, landed on a broken sky bridge.

This was the bridge where he had been defeated years ago!

Below, Yuan Shuo pushed off the ground and shot up like a rocket, disappearing into the sky in a blink, landing on the other side like a bird landing.

Martial matters, resolved by martial means.

Below, the crowd's expressions changed slightly.

Easily rising a hundred meters, a regular Sun Radiance could do it, but the two of them did it with the ease of martial artists, which was extraordinary.

...

At this moment, Li Hao was very weak.

He looked up at the sky.

After a moment, he suddenly frowned, looking at a spaceship that partially blocked his view, the people from Brightness Island.

These guys, their spaceship was not far from the sky bridge.

Not right next to the sky bridge, but about a hundred meters away, hovering in the air, with many people on it.

Yuan Shuo and Sun Yifei faced each other in the air. Martial artist battles usually take place in a small area. Even if they expanded, the most likely scenario would be to land and fight, so Brightness Island did not move, still standing there.

That place was also the best place to watch the battle, with the best view and the clearest sight.

Li Hao frowned, and beside him, Liu Long also looked up, his eyes showing a cold expression.

This was courting death!

Martial artist battles have a limited range, and even superhumans usually fight in a limited area, not expanding infinitely. Moreover, the other side was still in the air, making it hard for the range to extend to that side unless they fought in the air.

But martial artists and superhumans, unless they were flying types, rarely fought in the air.

The earth was their true home.

However, were Yuan Shuo and Sun Yifei ordinary people?

After a while, Li Hao said softly, "Don't worry about it. There are always some people who think they are special and different. This Brightness Way was founded by a Heaven-Favored Divine Master, right?"

Beside him, Wang Ming nodded.

Brightness Island and Sword Gate were different. Sword Gate was founded by Hong Yitang, while Brightness Way was founded by a very talented Heaven-Favored Divine Master. This person entered the Sun Radiance stage early and soon smoothly reached the Three Suns stage, becoming one of the few major forces in Silver Moon with a Three Suns powerhouse.

For martial artists, the battle just now was indeed spectacular.

But it was only at the early Sun Radiance level, far from the Three Suns stage.

Some people were just stubborn.

Moreover, the Brightness Island leader, considering himself very powerful, moving the spaceship now would make him seem inferior.

Li Hao knew that this range... was too small.

They didn't understand the momentum of martial artists!

Once his teacher's momentum was fully unleashed, crossing a hundred meters was nothing.

Maybe the Three Suns would be fine, but below the Three Suns, even Sun Radiance would be impacted by the powerful momentum, possibly dying or being injured.

This was purely asking for it.

He no longer looked at that side but looked at his teacher and Sun Yifei in the air. He hoped that Sun Yifei would be affected by Sun Moxian's death; otherwise, the previous battle with Sun Moxian would lack some meaning.

...

In the air.

On both sides of the broken bridge, one person on each side.

Sun Yifei's eyes were still brutal but had recovered some calmness. He looked at Yuan Shuo for a long time and said, "You have harmed the Silver Moon martial arts community!"

Yuan Shuo laughed, "Maybe, have you learned to use righteousness to pressure me?"

Maybe?

Perhaps it was!

He didn't break through to the Thousand Combat stage, or rather, he didn't break through 20 years ago. The decline of the Silver Moon martial arts community was largely due to him. If he had broken through to the Thousand Combat stage back then, many Perfect Hundred martial artists wouldn't have died, and the remaining Perfect Hundred might have all broken through to the Thousand Combat stage.

This is the nature of martial artists, a very peculiar group.

As long as Yuan Shuo, who suppressed Silver Moon, didn't break through, everyone seemed to be stuck.

But if Yuan Shuo broke through, the Thousand Combat stage would sprout like mushrooms after the rain, one after another. This wasn't a matter of one era but many eras, where someone determined the upper limit of the martial arts community!

When this upper limit was broken, many people would rise with the wind, breaking through one after another, and then seek the next upper limit.

If the upper limit was never broken, unless someone killed the person who set it... otherwise, that era would be defined by that person.

A very peculiar state.

"I'm not pressuring you!"

Sun Yifei was very calm, "I just hate and regret! Because of your upper limit, we couldn't appreciate the beauty of the Thousand Combat stage, couldn't advance further... I regret that we couldn't defeat you and pull you off your throne back then!"

"This is one regret, the second regret is that I became a superhuman and couldn't use martial artist strength to fight you!"

"The third regret is that I am not as good as my disciple. Back then, perhaps I should have fought to the death, jumped off a cliff... this is the shame of my life!"

Yuan Shuo looked at him and nodded, "This time, you can fight to the end!"

"Yuan Shuo, I hope you... don't disappoint me!"

As he spoke, a long staff rose to his eyebrows, held in one hand, pointing at Yuan Shuo, "Come and fight!"

Boom!

Before the move was even made, a towering flame engulfed the sky and the earth.

A fire-type superhuman!

Fire, good for offense.

Many offensive superhumans are fire-type, representing fiery passion.

As the flames rose, even Hao Li Chuan below changed his expression slightly.

He was also a fire-type superhuman and a Three Suns.

However, when Sun Yifei's flames rose, he suddenly felt that his fire power was far inferior to the other's. Even as a Three Suns, there was such a gap, which left him somewhat puzzled.

Of course, if he used the Fire Phoenix Spear, he could probably match this power.

But Sun Yifei's Level-Headed Staff, though made of top materials, was far from the level of the Fire Phoenix Spear.

On the other side, Yuan Shuo narrowed his eyes.

The towering flames gathered on the staff, making it look like a fiery dragon, incredibly powerful.

Clearly, Sun Yifei's attitude was very clear.

He intended to use martial artist techniques to defeat and kill Yuan Shuo.

The fire superhuman ability was just used as internal energy.

At this moment, Yuan Shuo also changed. The temperature of the flames was too high for the human body to withstand. At this moment, Yuan Shuo seemed to transform into a fiery ape, an ape that appeared in everyone's mind.

As soon as he appeared, it was as if the Heart Fire Ape had possessed him.

Sun Yifei's eyes instantly brightened!

At this moment, he seemed to see something, to discover something. He looked at Yuan Shuo with a look of indescribable excitement and joy at meeting a worthy opponent!

Others couldn't understand, but he could.

Below, Hong Yitang
