Chapter 83

The great battle was still ongoing.

On the broken bridge, the two men no longer fought in mid-air.

Yuan Shuo had pushed the Five Animal Techniques to their limits, as well as his breathing method. With each breath, a white mist enveloped his body, a result of the intense inhalation and exhalation, which caused the air to evaporate due to the extreme temperature difference.

To the onlookers, it seemed as if he were a celestial being, swallowing clouds and exhaling mist.

Perhaps, some ancient legends were like this.

Standing high in the air, it seemed as if clouds and mist surrounded him. Wasn't this the act of swallowing clouds and exhaling mist?

As for Sun Yifei, he was like a god of fire.

The flames did not touch his body, but his staff was glowing red. With each strike, he pushed the Heart Fire Ape incarnation of Yuan Shuo back, step by step. He was too strong!

Even after entering the superhuman realm, he still followed the path of martial arts.

He was a strong martial artist back then, and now, although he no longer used internal energy, his powerful superhuman abilities still unleashed the might of the staff.

Who said superhuman abilities were only for superhuman techniques?

Sun Yifei had developed his own style in the realm of superhuman abilities, treating them like internal energy. He used the breathing method of the staff without causing too many drawbacks.

Boom!

With one strike, the side of the broken bridge completely collapsed.

Yuan Shuo walked on air, like a flying bird, pouncing forward with his fists turned into claws, resembling bird talons, grabbing at the staff!

Like an eagle hunting a rabbit!

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an eagle, his sharp claws reaching out to Sun Yifei. With this grab, he left marks of fire on the staff. Sun Yifei shook the staff, and a powerful shockwave erupted, sending the staff forward... With a loud bang, the staff pierced through the sky, and Yuan Shuo quickly retreated, but his hand was still pierced through.

The staff did not stop, directly colliding with the distant cliff, causing a loud explosion. A huge cave appeared on the cliff, created by his strike.

With a wave of his hand, the staff flew out!

The two men fought more fiercely!

At this moment, Sun Yifei's fiery aura was boiling, as if several suns had appeared on his body. This was the true strength of a Three Yang expert, as hot and powerful as the sun.

Compared to him, the Three Yang experts of the Silver Moon were clearly inferior.

In terms of killing intent, combat awareness, experience, and methods, they were not a match for him.

From breaking out of the Silver Moon to fighting his way back to the central region, Sun Yifei had been in constant battles for decades. The red color on his staff was not just from the flames but also from the blood!

In mid-air, Yuan Shuo roared, and the Heart Fire Ape once again unleashed its chain!

The chain wrapped around the staff, and a loud clanging sound echoed through the sky.

The moment the chain wrapped around the staff, Yuan Shuo roared.

Below, Li Hao and the others quickly covered their ears.

At that moment, it seemed as if a fierce tiger had emerged from the forest, a roar far more powerful than that of a tiger, like the attack of a great demon.

"Roar!"

The roar shook the heavens and earth.

Below, the weaker superhumans burst with mysterious energy, but they still could not withstand the powerful roar. Many had their eardrums instantly ruptured, blood flowing from their ears.

Retreating again and again!

Many superhumans' faces changed completely, some showing unmistakable fear, and they retreated.

The small organizations fled quickly, even retreating a kilometer away, still feeling the danger, and continued to retreat.

The medium-sized organizations, only the Sword Gate remained. On the Sword Gate's side, Hong Yitang signaled for his disciples to leave. He did not leave but watched the two men in the sky with enthusiasm.

Martial arts!

The path of martial artists, the Silver Moon martial world...

After today's battle, he believed that martial artists from all over would flock to worship and seek the elusive future in the path of martial arts.

Because... the future is promising!

Yuan Shuo had broken through the Doushan boundary.

At this moment, even Hong Yitang's heart, which had been dormant for many years, was burning with passion.

Martial artists!

The path of martial arts can lead to the divine!

Even though Yuan Shuo had not yet suppressed Sun Yifei, and might even be suppressed by him, Hong Yitang could not hide his excitement. The old demon Yuan Shuo had returned, and the Silver Moon martial world was back!

"Roar!"

Several roars echoed, shaking the valley, the reverberations lingering in the air.

In mid-air, Yuan Shuo walked on air, the Five Animal Techniques reaching an unparalleled level. Not just the Ape Technique, he now used the Tiger Fighting Technique, like a fierce tiger in combat, the Heart Fire Ape carrying the tiger, exuding overwhelming killing intent.

The fusion of the Five Animals!

Besides the Heart Fire Ape, Yuan Shuo had other stances. At this moment, those stances quickly merged, forming a fierce tiger. The Ape and Tiger stood together, their stances colliding, unleashing even greater power.

"Roar!"

With a loud shout, Yuan Shuo's fists aimed at Sun Yifei's head.

Hammer strike!

With a loud bang, Sun Yifei's staff swept out, shaking the Five Animal stances!

In the air, Yuan Shuo wavered.

Sun Yifei held the staff and attacked fiercely, the staff's movements creating holes, forcing Yuan Shuo to retreat again.

At times, one would gain the upper hand, and at other times, the other would. Their strength was evenly matched.

Even with powerful stances, they could not withstand the other's superhuman abilities.

At this moment, it was somewhat the opposite of Li Hao.

Li Hao, when fighting Sun Moxian, had powerful organs, while Sun Moxian had strong stances, but the stances were useless as they could not break Li Hao's organs, ultimately leading to Li Hao's counter-kill.

Similarly, at this moment, Yuan Shuo had strong stances, but his internal energy was not as powerful as Sun Yifei's superhuman abilities.

The powerful fire energy greatly reduced the effectiveness of Yuan Shuo's attacks.

At this moment, not only Li Hao understood, but others also saw it, their eyes showing some surprise.

It was the opposite!

Before this, Li Hao had killed Sun Moxian. Now, if things continued this way, Sun Yifei would also counter-kill Yuan Shuo.

The battles of the master and disciple were now diverging.

...

In mid-air.

Yuan Shuo's chain shook, but it could not break through the other's staff. Yuan Shuo roared in anger, like a raging gorilla.

Sun Yifei fought more fiercely!

His eyes were cold and sharp, with a hint of joy, but mostly filled with killing intent.

To seek the truth in the morning and die in the evening is acceptable.

But... it did not stop him from killing Yuan Shuo.

The path of martial arts, as long as there is a way.

Another intense collision, Yuan Shuo grabbed the staff, leaving deep claw marks on it. However, he was still punched away by Sun Yifei. Sun Yifei held the staff and retreated, while Yuan Shuo flew backward, blood splattering in the air.

Yuan Shuo stood steady in the air, his face slightly pale, showing some fatigue.

Sun Yifei's face was flushed, and he coughed, "Is this all you can do?"

Is this all?

He bared his teeth and smiled, "What about the second divine essence? You have only cultivated one divine essence! Yuan Shuo, if you had cultivated five divine essences, there would be no need for this battle today; I would surely die! But with just one... it's not enough to kill me!"

Yuan Shuo panted heavily.

He looked at Sun Yifei.

Sun Yifei's eyes were sharp. After a long battle, he had noticed some clues. If Yuan Shuo had cultivated five divine essences, he would sweep through the Three Yang realm without a match. Even without five, cultivating three divine essences would likely make Yuan Shuo invincible in the Three Yang realm.

But he had not!

He had only cultivated one divine essence, which was enough for a temporary strong attack, and dealing with ordinary Three Yang experts was not a problem. He could instantly stun them, but his opponent was Sun Yifei, a martial artist who never gave up.

As long as he withstood the initial fierce attack, it was Sun Yifei's time to counter-attack.

Yuan Shuo smiled, "So arrogant! The people who were arrogant with me back then... few of them survived!"

With that, he roared, instantly transforming into a fierce tiger!

At the same time, a cold aura emanated from the tiger, and mist seemed to surround its feet, like water.

The Five Animal Techniques, the Tiger Walks in Yin, Yin belongs to water, and water corresponds to the kidneys.

Cultivating the second divine essence!

The kidneys belong to water, and his kidneys were not strong enough, not yet sufficiently nourished. Forcing the cultivation of divine essence might cause his kidneys to shatter... but so what?

At this point, who would admit defeat?

He, Yuan Shuo, had dominated for a lifetime, and the one before him was just a defeated opponent!

One divine essence was hard to kill, but what about two?

Instantly, the tiger's roar shook the heavens and earth. Yuan Shuo's water and fire merged, the Ape and Tiger seemed to unite, instantly transforming into a monstrous creature with a tiger's head and an ape's body. With one punch, his fist turned into a claw!

With a tearing sound, this claw was astonishingly fast.

In an instant, it grabbed Sun Yifei, catching his ankle and tearing off pieces of flesh.

Sun Yifei was not alarmed but delighted!

The second divine essence!

He saw the second divine essence... if possible, he hoped to see the fifth divine essence, but he knew it was impossible.

This was Yuan Shuo's limit.

Cultivating the third divine essence would likely kill Yuan Shuo before the battle even began.

Enough!

"Good move!"

Sun Yifei laughed loudly, and the fire energy in his body instantly reached its peak, becoming extremely dense. At that moment, Li Hao even sensed something different and looked at Hao Lianchuan.

Hao Lianchuan's face changed dramatically.

The fire phoenix inside him seemed to sense something, moving wildly within his body. Clearly, the fire phoenix sensed Sun Yifei's fire energy and wanted to break free to meet it.

Li Hao's face was serious, as it had actually triggered the source divine weapon!

And the teacher was in trouble.

His water tiger was somewhat weak, lacking sufficient water energy, and his kidneys had not been sufficiently nourished. If this continued, a prolonged battle would cause significant damage to the teacher.

Li Hao looked around and saw something, quickly looking at Liu Long: "Boss, have the Night Patrol collect all the mysterious energy left by the fallen superhumans..."

Liu Long was slightly stunned.

But he quickly understood.

He quickly left and walked toward Hao Lianchuan.

A moment later, Hao Lianchuan gave the order. While the battle above had not ended and everyone was on edge, the Night Patrol began extracting the mysterious energy from the fallen experts.

If it were a normal day, someone might try to snatch it.

But today... no one dared to move.

The two men above were still fighting, and no one dared to make a move, not even the Red Moon.

Hao Kongsun clearly understood that Yuan Shuo might be more lenient with the Night Patrol, but Sun Yifei would not be lenient with the Red Moon.

At this moment, any mistake that disrupted the battle could lead to the two men turning against each other. The Red Moon could not withstand their combined strength. In Hao Kongsun's view, perhaps only the Purple Moon could intervene in such a battle.

As for him, he was still lacking.

Even if he teamed up with Feitian and Yanluo, they might barely be able to resist the two men. Unless one of them died and the other was severely injured, it would not be in everyone's best interest.

Seeing everyone start to collect the superhuman energy, Li Hao's eyes changed.

His peripheral vision caught sight of Zhang Ting.

The Night Patrol!

A mid-stage Three Yang existence.

A weapon that might be a water-type source divine weapon, he did not know if it was... but he knew that even if the teacher won this battle, his kidneys might burst. The collected mysterious energy, with its light energy, might help repair some damage, but it was not enough.

If he added a water-type source divine weapon... it should be enough!

At this moment, Li Hao firmly believed the teacher would win.

Regardless of whether he could win... he hoped the teacher could recover quickly after the battle, otherwise, the teacher might face significant trouble.

"Sorry... Minister Hou also said it's up to me whether to kill or not..."

Li Hao, a hundred-meter sprinter, was now thinking about killing and robbing a mid-stage Three Yang expert.

If this news spread, it would shock the world.

But Li Hao really had such intentions.

As for Zhang Ting being from the central region and a spy for the Night Patrol... so what?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Liu Long suddenly grabbed his shoulder. Liu Long seemed to have guessed something, or maybe he hadn't, but he knew Li Hao had a murderous intent.

"Stay calm!"

Liu Long said sternly, "Everyone is waiting, and so should you! The first to act will be the first to be shot... I think Old Yuan doesn't want you to take risks at this moment. Stay here and recover!"

Li Hao did not speak, lowering his head and suppressing his anxiety.

The second divine essence!

Sun Yifei's strength was beyond imagination. Originally, he thought the teacher's cultivation of the first divine essence would be enough to win, but now, even with the second divine essence, he still could not defeat the opponent.

...

In the air.

The tiger-headed, ape-bodied Yuan Shuo launched another powerful attack, invincible, a punch breaking through the sky.

His punches and kicks were unstoppable, and his movements were agile.

With one punch after another, he finally overpowered the opponent, forcing Sun Yifei to retreat step by step. Sun Yifei kept coughing up blood but laughed wildly, laughing uncontrollably!

"Is that all?"

"Yuan Shuo, not enough!"

The second divine essence was too superficial!

Of course, despite this, Sun Yifei was also bleeding and his skin was torn, but he still laughed heartily. In the next moment, he counter-attacked fiercely, holding the staff and striking wildly!

Bang, bang, bang!

The loud sounds continued. At this moment, both of them were only attacking, with no defense!

Strong attack, then another strong attack!

After a long time, Yuan Shuo roared and punched, causing a loud explosion, and the staff shattered!

This powerful staff, after being struck by Yuan Shuo's hundreds of punches, which almost shattered his own fists, finally broke into pieces!

Puff!

Sun Yifei's chest caved in, and he flew backward, even spitting out pieces of internal organs. The staff in his hand was completely shattered by Yuan Shuo.

But he smiled.

"You... how much strength do you have left?"

Yuan Shuo wavered, not answering, his face cold and proud.

How much strength?

Not much, but so what?

"Sun Yifei... you... will always be my defeated opponent!"

Yuan Shuo walked toward him, stepping on air, moving slowly.

Sun Yifei coughed up blood but still laughed: "That year, you defeated me... just like today, you broke my staff, and I lay injured on the ground. You walked toward me step by step... I knew I would die, but I did not want to die at your hands... so, I jumped off the Broken Bridge!"

"Yuan Shuo, not today!"

He smiled brightly: "Today, not today! My disciple told me...
