NOVPUB"Xu Ping’an, I let you slip away at the Fire Divine Palace last time, but today I’m eager to see who will save you," Yu Wenbai’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent.
A terrifying aura of flames rose from his body.
The man stood tall like a lord of flames, looking down on Xu Ping’an from above.
The horrifying aura pressed down viciously toward Xu Ping’an, causing the temperature around them to abruptly rise.
Xu Ping’an, facing the overwhelming presence of Yu Wenbai, also curved his lips into a slight smile.
"Yu Wenbai, back at the Fire Divine Palace, indeed I was not as strong as you, but now you can’t kill me," Xu Ping’an said with a cold laugh.
"It seems you’re quite confident, thinking you’ve improved a lot. However, you’re still no match for me. Today I will slay you and demonstrate the gap between us."
Yu Wenbai snorted coldly, his Demi Immortal Peak-level cultivation exploding forth without reservation.
Indeed, Yu Wenbai hadn’t broken through to the Tenth Rank; he had chosen to suppress his own cultivation level.
But his True Yuan was incredibly robust, and the Indestructible Force within him surged continuously.
His strength now was no less than that of one at the peak of the Demi Immortal Realm.
It seemed he had stepped into the Dao Principle Realm, after all, he was ranked around the sixtieth on the list of geniuses.
"Let’s do this. Today, right before everyone’s eyes, I will cut you down, you divine heir of the Fire Divine Palace," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.
He clenched his fist, and an overwhelmingly vast power radiated from him.
Nine true dragons roared inside his body, causing the muscles on Xu Ping’an’s body to become extraordinarily solid.
"What a domineering physical body. This guy’s strength is terrifying. How did he achieve this?" Xue Dong exclaimed in surprise as he observed Xu Ping’an’s physique.
He had also practiced some Physical Body Cultivation Techniques, but compared to Xu Ping’an, he was leagues behind.
Lan Jing, Zhao Hanxing, and others also frowned, sensing the strength of Xu Ping’an’s physical body.
That surging power within him was so intense that they could feel it from a distance.
"Hmph, courting death."
Yu Wenbai snorted coldly and instantly stepped forward, his figure slicing through the void to appear right in front of Xu Ping’an.
"I want to see just how strong your physique is," Yu Wenbai said coldly.
He threw a punch, and terrifying flames immediately gathered around his fist, unleashing a power that could shake the heavens.
"Bursting Flame Fist? That’s a Superior Grade Eleventh Rank Combat Technique; is Yu Wenbai using such a deadly move right from the start?" someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Many of the surrounding geniuses also changed their expressions.
If it were any of them receiving this punch, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
It was too strong.
Even some of the elders lurking in the shadows were taken aback.
The geniuses on the talent list were indeed powerful; he had such formidable strength without even breaking through the Tenth Rank.
However, witnessing this scene, Xu Ping’an sneered.
"This is your idea of a fist technique? Let me show you what real power is.
Xu Ping’an clenched his fist and threw a punch.
Dragon King Fist!
Power instantly erupted to its utmost limit.
Yu Wenbai was shocked, immediately sensing an incomparable force pressing down on him ferociously.
It felt as if the heaven and earth were collapsing.
But now it was too late for him to dodge.
Because Xu Ping’an’s fist was too fast.
"Boom!"
Xu Ping’an’s fist collided with Yu Wenbai’s fist.
"Crack!"
Yu Wenbai’s arm instantly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
Yu Wenbai’s body was sent flying backward like an arrow.
"What?"
Everyone was utterly shocked.
Yu Wenbai’s arm had actually exploded from a single punch; was he not a match for Xu Ping’an even with one move?
How could this be possible?
This was a Son of the Fire Divine Palace, an existence ranked in the sixties on the genius list.
Even if he was no match for Xu Ping’an, how could he lose so thoroughly?
Xue Dong, Lan Jing, and Zhao Hanxing also revealed faces full of surprise.
Their observations were far more profound than the others’.
That punch just now, Xu Ping’an had relied solely on his physical strength, without utilizing any True Yuan.
That is to say, Xu Ping’an had defeated Yu Wenbai using just the strength of his body alone.
"He’s very strong, his True Elemental Cultivation should have reached the Ninth Rank First Layer Realm, and coupled with the Soul Power he previously demonstrated, his strength is unfathomable," Xue Dong said.
"Indeed strong, he should be able to fight against those at the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm," Lan Jing also spoke up.
"Ninth Rank First Layer, able to fight against the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm? How did he do it?" Zhao Hanxing wore an incredulous expression.
Even geniuses like them are only slightly stronger than their own cultivation levels.
Xu Ping’an could actually span two whole realms?
It was simply inconceivable!
Zhao Hanyue, standing to one side, clenched her teeth in rage, her face full of unwillingness.
"Hanyue, stop seeking revenge on him, or you might truly die," Zhao Hanxing glanced at Zhao Hanyue and said.
"Sister, I can’t accept this. Why should he, a mere ant from a remote place, be able to grow to this extent?" Zhao Hanyue bit her red lips and said.
"This is all due to fortune; his must be very profound," Zhao Hanxing said with deep eyes.
To Zhao Hanxing, Xu Ping’an’s progress was a miracle.
Such blessings weren’t something ordinary people could have.
Having an enemy like him was extremely unfavorable for their Hanyue Heaven.
Xue Dong and Lan Jing were also struck by similar thoughts.
Clearly, Yu Wenbai’s defeat made them realize that Xu Ping’an before them was not someone they could just crush at will.
"Cough cough!"
Yu Wenbai struggled up from the ruins, completely disheveled.
He had lost all his earlier grace.
His eyes, looking at Xu Ping’an, were bloodshot beyond measure, filled with a ferocious intent.
He had actually lost to Xu Ping’an?
How could he be content with this?
So Yu Wenbai immediately took an elixir, and his blasted arm began to regrow bit by bit.
"Xu Ping’an, I must kill you," Yu Wenbai took to the air again.
In his hand,e appeared a long spear that radiated terrifyingly majestic fluctuations.
"Boom!"
A crimson path emerged directly behind him, as a might of heaven and earth instantly swept across the venue.
Seeing this path, everyone gasped.
Power of Dao Principles?
Yu Wenbai had indeed stepped into the Dao Principle Realm.
He planned to use the Power of Dao Principles to directly crush Xu Ping’an.
"Power of Dao Principles? Just about fifty meters in length?" Xu Ping’an curled his lips into a faint smile.
The shadow of Yu Wenbai’s Dao Principles that manifested was only about fifty meters in length.
Not even reaching the First Layer, and he thinks to kill me with such a level?
