Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2213: Chapter 2212: A Hard-Fought Battle!

"Heh, just with your Fourth Grade Fusion Realm cultivation base?"

The elder of the Qing Emperor Sect, who originally had no expression on his face, now showed a slight smile.

This smile was disdainful, contemptuous, mocking, and also...

Laughing out of extreme anger!

Since he became a Fusion Realm cultivator, he had seen people capable of battling beyond their level, but as his cultivation base improved and his strength gradually outmatched others, he had never seen anyone who could challenge a Seventh Grade Fusion Realm with just a Fourth Grade Fusion Realm cultivation base!

Especially since his cultivation base was not just at the Seventh Grade Fusion Realm, it had already reached the peak of the Seventh Grade Fusion Realm. With just a chance, he could become a Dao Sovereign Super Powerhouse!

To the elder, Xuanyuan Qiong’s action was not worth his delight but rather felt like... an insult.

Yes, a Fourth Grade Fusion Realm, knowing clearly his cultivation level, dared to challenge him. This was an insult!

"Very well, since you are courting death, I shall follow the young master’s orders and take you on first!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Qiong charging without the slightest hesitation, the elder couldn’t help but snort coldly in his heart, and his entire cultivation base suddenly burst out at this moment.

"Swoosh!"

The astonishing aura transformed into ripples even more powerful than before, forcing Zhou Hanfeng and others to step back a distance involuntarily.

Besides Su Han and others remaining in place, only Xuanyuan Qiong looked like a moth flying into a flame.

"To kill you, just one strike is needed!"

The elder’s eyes flashed with light, and as his words fell, his hand turned into a blade, slashing fiercely toward Xuanyuan Qiong!

"Ssss!"

The void was directly torn apart, with numerous dark black lines appearing; those were void fissures!

The enormous palm blade swept across the sky, extending thousands of feet, looking majestic and overwhelming.

However, Xuanyuan Qiong neither evaded nor avoided it, forming a fist with his hand, unleashing no martial path cultivation, yet boldly charging his flesh against the elder’s terrifying palm blade.

"Is this person... courting death?"

"Ridiculous, with a Fourth Grade Fusion Realm cultivation base, it would be fine to dodge now, even unfolding his whole battle power might lessen some injuries, but he... he actually wants to use his flesh to confront a Seventh Grade Fusion Realm expert’s palm blade?"

"Could he be a body cultivation practitioner? But even if he is, he can only cross one level at most, right? The gap between the two is ultimately too vast..."

"Well, since we cannot act, let the Qing Emperor Sect give him a lesson first!"

...

Seeing Xuanyuan Qiong charging toward the elder, the Fusion Realm experts of other sects all showed cold smiles, engaging in discussions.

They naturally found pleasure in this, gloating over Xuanyuan Qiong’s predicament.

Previously, due to the incident in the safe zone, despite knowing the Phoenix Sect couldn’t possibly match them, they were still suppressed by Su Han, unable to lift their heads. This repressed anger was unbearable if not vented.

At this moment, the Qing Emperor Sect taking action happened to help them release the pent-up resentment!

"Boom!!!"

At a certain moment, a sky-shattering boom arose in the void.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xuanyuan Qiong’s fist collided directly with the elder’s palm blade.

At the instant of the collision, the void collapsed on a grand scale, and even the residual power caused many cracks to appear on the ground, threatening to cause an earthquake.

Yet everyone’s focus was neither on the void nor the ground, but on... Xuanyuan Qiong!

At the moment of their confrontation, Xuanyuan Qiong’s somewhat aged fist seemed to transform into something made of an unknown material, not only withstanding the elder’s palm blade...

But also directly shattering that palm blade into fragments!

"Huh?"

"How is this possible?!"

"Did my eyes deceive me? He really shattered the opponent’s palm blade?"

"I can feel it, the elder of the Qing Emperor Sect did not hold back at all, clearly intending to land a killing blow, yet how did he hold up?"

Exclamations of shock spread at this moment.

Even Zhou Hanfeng and others widened their eyes in disbelief.

In their imagination, the scene of the confrontation should have been Xuanyuan Qiong’s fist being directly torn by the palm blade, with Xuanyuan Qiong’s figure being cut in two!

After all, this was a conflict traversing three grades, and these three grades were even within the Fusion Realm!

Not to mention them, even the elder of the Qing Emperor Sect’s pupils shrank, his brows involuntarily furrowing.

"Is this person’s fleshly body truly this strong?" the elder wondered inwardly.

He couldn’t believe it; clearly, Xuanyuan Qiong’s aura only indicated a Fourth Grade Fusion Realm. Even if it was true he practiced body cultivation, a Fourth Grade Fusion Realm body cultivation shouldn’t be this powerful!

"Is this what you declared, one strike to kill me?"

Xuanyuan Qiong showed a cold smile, pointing at the elder’s right arm: "If this is all the strength you have, then I’ll be taking this arm."

"You are not someone from the Phoenix Sect!"

The elder suddenly asserted, "The Phoenix Sect, existing in a lower-class planetary region, is simply not qualified to harbor someone as strong as you!"

"No, I am indeed from the Phoenix Sect, genuine and true!"

Xuanyuan Qiong’s gaze flickered, continuing: "But, of course, people like you, with your eyes so belittling, naturally fail to comprehend it."

"Praise you a bit, and you think you’re invincible!"

The elder’s face darkened, refraining from speaking further, directly charging out to attack Xuanyuan Qiong.

Xuanyuan Qiong did not retreat either, his fists raining thousands of punches in an instant with a thunderous roar!

Such speed was at its extremity, with Xuanyuan Qiong’s fist rains filling the sky, truly terrifying!

Initially, the elder was not afraid at all, continuously clashing with Xuanyuan Qiong, causing widespread destruction in the surrounding void.

But as the battle went on, the elder became increasingly shocked.

By the time Xuanyuan Qiong had thrown a few hundred punches, more than half of the elder’s spiritual power was already depleted.

He wanted to replenish his depletion with spirit crystals or pills, but Xuanyuan Qiong gave him no such opportunity.

He didn’t even have the chance to use any techniques!

"How can this person’s fleshly battle power be so terrifying!!!" the elder roared inwardly.

A sense of dread arose within him.

Because the longer the battle continued, the less spiritual power he had, and without a means to replenish it, he would eventually be exhausted to death by Xuanyuan Qiong.

That is the weakness of martial path cultivators!

They must use spiritual power as a foundation to fight.

Even using laws requires spiritual power!

In comparison, Xuanyuan Qiong instead grew more valiant the longer he fought.

He was relying on his flesh cultivation, requiring no so-called spiritual power, nor needing any replenishment!

"Boom!!!"

Until a certain moment, after the elder forcefully endured yet another punch from Xuanyuan Qiong, his spiritual power was finally exhausted.

And after this punch, for the first time, he stepped back!
