BXBX NOVEL Chapter 210: Qimei Staff, Fire Heart Ape (II)
Chapter 210: Qimei Staff, Fire Heart Ape (II)
The swordsman had seen it before—this was similar, yet not the same. It somehow made him feel... mediocre as a Solar.
Disturbances shifted the Red Moon, Yama, and Celestial delegations around the canyon; a shocking scene played out before they had a chance to guess. A fiery ape struck first in the sky, holding up the firmament with one hand and slamming its palm down. The void seemed to split open!
It was the ape style of the Five Styles!
“To battle!” Sun Yifei shouted with glee and struck with his staff, as if tearing heaven and earth apart. Staff met palm in an explosive collision, throwing off sparks in all directions. The two simultaneously switched positions and bounded higher in the air.
Rumble!
If Li Hao and Sun Moxian displayed mortal techniques in their clash, then these two truly demonstrated the methods of walking gods. The entire sky was dyed red from their confrontation.
A late Solar battling a Summoner of Spirit!
There was no trace of Yuan Shuo’s usual relaxed composure to be seen. He was as if a crazed elderly ape, waving his fists around with fire in his eyes and sweeping his long arm through the sky. He slammed a hand into the staff, grabbing it despite the fire that ignited over it.
Flames spread to the four corners as they fought. RUMBLE!! They were so fast that Li Hao and the others couldn’t keep up—the audience couldn’t register all of the moves. This level of battle was far beyond them.
Other than a few Solars who could still more or less see things clearly, even Sunflares were hard pressed to make out how the two were fighting. They could only see that the fire heart ape was tyrannically domineering in punching again and again. Sometimes, it delivered a barrage of a dozen punches that appeared as only one to the assembly.
Meanwhile, the qimei staff rose and fell with incredible beauty.
The two combatants abruptly shifted orientation and glided through the air, swiftly moving away from their starting points.
One hundred meters?
What did one hundred meters mean to them? It was the span of one footstep!
......
In the sky.
There were nearly one hundred people on Light Island’s flying ship. While that was a large delegation, there were also numerous Starlight among them. They would not be entering the ruins.
Everyone on the ship watched the fight, enthralled. However, a young Heaven Favored frowned slightly. The battle... seemed to be approaching them. He’d parked the ship here to demonstrate Light Island’s might and didn’t feel a need to move further away when Yuan Shuo and Sun Yifei entered the sky. That would be too embarrassing.
He was a Heaven Favored, one of Silver Moon’s few Solars! He’d experienced smooth sailing ever since setting foot onto the supernatural stage and successfully establishing Light Island, turning it into a powerful organization. Even the three great organizations and Night Watchers showed him certain respect. They were unwilling to clash with the local Solar.
Therefore, the master of Light Island was very arrogant. He had the right and credentials to. But at the moment, his back prickled with fear.
This looks bad!
“Hurry and—” He wanted to say something when a long staff broke through the void and descended with unstoppable momentum! Aghast, the master of Light Island snarled with anger and quickly punched forward. His fist was as if the sun shooting through the sky—Divine Light Punch!
These two were doing this on purpose! He could sense it that these two bastards were purposefully shifting their fight toward him! But when he deployed his Divine Light Punch, an enormous fist of fire landed on him. There seemed to be a colossal ape swinging its fists through the air!
BOOM!
An incredibly menacing aura exploded like a volcano. It burst through the young Heaven Favored’s mind—he saw an ape raising the sky and hewing the earth open! The look in his eyes turned cloudy.
This was the aura of a martial master. Those who’d never comprehended or come in contact with it would not understand how strong Yuan Shuo’s aura would be at his cultivation level. The master of Light Island was a Heaven Favored, but he didn’t know martial masters.
In the far off distance.
Hong Yitang snorted with laughter, then shook his head with emotion. There was never a shortage of pigheaded people in the world. It was one thing to watch from the ground, but that fellow dared look down upon the two from the sky, as if he was watching circus animals perform tricks! These are two majestic personages that we’re talking about! They’re old demons that terrorized an era, how dare you watch them from up high?
You really have a death wish!
Heaven Favored? A Solar? There might not be a Light Island anymore from this moment forth. Solars were strong enough, but the context of who they faced also had to be considered.
A stunning scene developed in front of the assembly’s eyes. The unquestionably powerful master of Light Island was sent flying right after he deployed his Divine Light Punch. An even bigger fist broke through his move and shattered his defenses. A blazing red staff descended in that very moment!
The staff blow was so unrivaled that it instantly immolated everything. The hovering ship broke into two with a loud rumble and the master of Light Island at its center... vanished!
No, he left behind a trace of light energy.
The enormous fist in the air fully landed and smashed the two ship halves into smithereens!
Cries and wails of agony abounded. A few Light Island supernaturals who survived fell down, their speed incredibly fast! New screams of horror sounded when their flight supernaturals realized that they couldn’t fly!
This expanse of the sky full under the aura—one could even call it a domain. As the supernaturals were unable to break the aura’s blockade, their abilities were constrained. Bam bam bam! These supernaturals unable to call upon their power crashed into the ground from a height of one hundred meters!
Most were instantly smashed to meat pies. A lucky few were caught by other supernaturals—they had to, otherwise the flailing survivor would smash right into their delegation. Some other lucky ones grabbed onto the edges of the canyon and escaped from the jaws of death.
Other than a handful of survivors, the mighty Light Island and nearly a hundred of its supernaturals had been instantaneously eradicated by two people! Their leader, a Solar, was decimated by a singular punch and staff blow!
It all happened in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only moans of suffering from the survivors.
......
The Celestial delegation.
A group of powerhouses were petrified, freezing in positions of heads tilted up at the sky. Shocked eyes were the only thing to be seen beneath their hoods.
Could martial masters reach this level?
Everyone knew about Yuan Shuo killing Brokensky, but no one knew that he could kill Solars so easily!
......
Red Moon.
Hao Kong’s expression shifted drastically. He was equal parts horrified, incredulous, and angry. How was Yuan Shuo so incredibly strong? He’d blasted through a Heaven Favored’s defenses with a direct punch—that’d been a Solar, not a Sunflare!
Weren’t Dominators only barely on par with Sunflares? This wasn’t possible! He could understand Sun Yifei being so strong, but not Yuan Shuo.
“How is that...” he murmured, still disbelieving and not wanting to believe. Greater than Dominator? The thought occurred to many in this moment, not just him. But that wasn’t possible!
Although there were rumors of martial masters in the central region setting foot into this level, they were barely glimpsed in the world these days. These mysterious powerhouses had vanished from the central region battlefield. Legend had it that they’d found the path beyond Dominator, but that was unsubstantiated whispers from the central region.
Today in Silver Moon, in this decrepit martial world, they saw a martial master kill a Heaven Favored Solar with one punch!
......
The Night Watcher delegation.
Hao Lianchuan’s expression changed again and again. Was this Yuan Shuo?
Light Island was... no more. While there was a scattering of its members left, the organization was dead. A mid-sized faction, a Solar, and multiple Sunflare had been obliterated by one punch and one staff blow.
It boggled the mind!
......
Wang Ming’s mouth was wide open next to Li Hao. He was bewildered and frozen. That’d been a Solar, not a Darkmoon—and that wondrous heavyweight was gone, just like that?
“Teacher!” He breathed out, his eyes startlingly bright. “I want to learn martial dao!”
Indeed, he wanted to practice martial dao now. My heavens, is this what it means to be a martial master? He was self-conscious enough when facing Li Hao’s strength, but after seeing Yuan Shuo, he understood that Li Hao wasn’t worth shit. His colleague employed mortal methods; Yuan Shuo was a true god amongst mortals. That was why his level was hailed as a walking god. He was so unfathomably dominating that he could pierce through the firmament with one punch.
Could a Solar or anyone greater withstand such a punch?
No!
Even the prodigious Director Hao would likely quail beneath such a punch. Wang Ming looked at Hao Lianchuan—see, look at his wide eyes and dropped jaw!
Director Hao was plainly stunned beyond his senses.
......
In the air.
The two swiftly flew back to land on the broken bridge. Their faces were calm, as if they’d just swatted a few gnats.
How dare someone stand over their heads and look down their noses upon martial masters? If they weren’t punished for it, the world would think this was all there was to martial dao! At the very least, the martial masters who’d died twenty years ago would turn in their graves if Yuan Shuo and Sun Yifei didn’t kill them.
Anyone who dared be so rude back in the day would be beaten to death for their impudence, so why not these supernatural brats?
The two seemed to be in good moods after teaching those unruly bastards a lesson. It was as if they really had just slapped some flies out of existence; neither of the two mentioned Light Island. Sun Yifei shook his staff and took a long look at his opponent.
“Yuan Shuo, you win on the path of martial dao!”
His old rival had reached another level.
“What level is this?” an expectant Sun Yifei asked with yearning. Battle had just begun, but he wanted to know so badly. Was there another path beyond Dominator? He might never have a chance to ask if he didn’t do so now. He needed to know.
“Summoner of Spirit!” Yuan Shuo answered calmly. “I have just entered it, and there is another level above it—Refiner of Spirit!”
“Summoner... Refiner...” Sun Yifei murmured. He was excited, he was forlorn, and he was reluctant to accept the situation. He looked at Yuan Shuo. “You have created a new expanse for martial dao. There is hope for all martial masters in the world!”
Even he himself didn’t know if he was happy or sad. He smiled radiantly at Yuan Shuo. “This battle is truly worth it to learn that there are more cultivation levels above Dominator. Yuan Shuo... a Summoner... Come, show me the might of a Summoner!”
