Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Impotent Rage
Seeing Li Yang execute a Sword Technique, Sun Yunqiang, who had arrived in front of him first, roared, "Get the hell out of my way!!!"
He swung the battle blade in his hand, and it clashed with Li Yang’s heavy sword.
His face was a mask of savagery. ’A mere Early Heaven Level brat dares to snatch my things? He truly doesn’t know the difference between life and death!’
But after their attacks collided, Sun Yunqiang’s expression changed. He felt an incredibly terrifying force rushing toward him, one that he, with all his strength, could barely resist.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this, Sun Yunqiang’s face fell!
Although he hadn’t fought Li Yang before, he could roughly gauge his strength from Li Yang’s fight with Zheng Qian. He was definitely not at the Mid-Heaven Level.
And he was at the Late Heaven Level! Even if Li Yang had reached the Mid-Heaven Level, he still shouldn’t have been a match for him!
And how long had it been since Li Yang fought Zheng Qian? Not even a few hours, right?
No one’s strength could increase so dramatically in such a short time!
’Could it be that Li Yang found a fruit that grants a massive boost in strength? Is that why his power has soared?’ Suddenly, a possibility occurred to Sun Yunqiang.
This Relic Space was clearly full of Spirit Fruits. He himself had already found fruits for healing and for enhancing strength. Although he hadn’t encountered a Spirit Fruit that gave a short-term massive power boost, this place definitely had them.
If Li Yang had consumed one, it was possible for his strength to surpass his own for a short time.
However, he had no time to dwell on it.
Seeing the change in Sun Yunqiang’s expression, Li Yang smiled calmly. "Sun Yunqiang, is this all the strength you have? And you thought you could take me down?"
At that moment, his right foot shot out like lightning, striking Sun Yunqiang directly in the chest.
Sun Yunqiang was already using all his strength to block Li Yang’s Profound Blue Sword Skill and was still failing. Now, faced with Li Yang’s kick, he was completely unable to withstand the blow.
His body was sent flying backward, crashing right into the approaching Zheng Qian. The impact sent Zheng Qian stumbling, forcing him to an abrupt stop.
Both figures fell to the ground, cutting a pathetic sight.
The brief exchange seemed to silence the surroundings.
From the perspective of Zhao Xiang and the others in the distance, two Celestial Level Cultivators, Sun Yunqiang and Zheng Qian, had gone to deal with Li Yang. But with a single kick, Li Yang had shown that Sun Yunqiang was no match for him, sending him flying. He even crashed into Zheng Qian, knocking him down as well.
A single attack had defeated two Celestial Level Cultivators!
"Li Yang’s strength... is terrifying!"
"Zheng Qian is an Initial Tier Celestial, but Sun Yunqiang is at the Late Heaven Level. How is Sun Yunqiang not Li Yang’s match?"
"Could it be that Li Yang was hiding his strength before?"
These Cultivators were utterly shocked.
Zhao Xiang was no exception, watching the distant battle in shock.
’Cousin Li Yang’s strength... is actually this great?’
Sun Yunqiang was among the top tier of Celestial Level Cultivators, yet Li Yang had managed to defeat him! This was simply unimaginable.
However, with Li Yang demonstrating such power, he would definitely be able to keep those four Spirit Fruits.
At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed Zhao Xiang’s mind: ’If Cousin Li Yang had a good relationship with the family, would I be able to get a Spirit Fruit?’
Having not encountered any cultivation resources for ten years, he was truly desperate for those Spirit Fruits.
But then, Zhao Xiang gave a bitter smile internally. ’When did I become so greedy? Given the Zhao family’s attitude toward Li Yang, why would he give me any cultivation resources he obtains?’
While Zhao Xiang and the other Cultivators were still in shock, Zheng Qian’s face contorted with rage as he roared, "Impossible!!! Li Yang, how can you be this strong?!?"
Li Yang bursting forth with Celestial Level strength was already incredible, but now, he was displaying power approaching the Peak of Heaven-level!
What kind of Cultivator could improve this quickly?
"Why is it impossible?" Li Yang smiled faintly. "Zheng Qian, we meet again, and your strength still hasn’t changed a bit."
Hearing this, Zheng Qian’s expression turned ugly.
What ’we meet again’? He and Li Yang had only been apart for a few hours.
Just then, Sun Yunqiang snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, Li Yang, so you just consumed a Spirit Fruit that grants a temporary surge of power? After consuming that kind of Spirit Fruit, your body will be plunged into a weakened state. Aren’t you afraid the loss outweighs the gain?"
If Li Yang had this kind of strength before, he wouldn’t have turned and fled when he encountered him.
And he refused to believe that Li Yang’s strength could have increased so much in just a few short hours.
Therefore, he was convinced that Li Yang had consumed a Spirit Fruit that provided a short-term, explosive boost of power.
Hearing Sun Yunqiang’s words, Zheng Qian immediately understood. That’s right, Li Yang’s strength couldn’t have improved so fast. It must be because of a Spirit Fruit.
’Damn that Li Yang, his luck is too good! To think he found a Spirit Fruit like that!’
A Spirit Fruit that could raise Li Yang’s strength from an Initial Tier Celestial all the way to this level... its value was immeasurable!
’They think I can only possess this strength temporarily because I relied on a fruit?’
Li Yang thought to himself. He didn’t offer any explanation. If they wanted to be wrong, let them be wrong. He had no intention of correcting them.
A smile still on his face, he stepped forward and said cheerfully, "Zheng Qian, you must have made some gains in the Relic Space, right? Let me see your backpack!"
Hearing this, Zheng Qian immediately roared, "Li Yang, you’re dreaming!"
He felt incredibly frustrated. He had finally run into Li Yang again and thought there would be no more surprises, but it turned out that even Sun Yunqiang, a Late Heaven Level cultivator, was no match for him.
"Are you in any position to bargain?" Li Yang said coolly.
BOOM!
His figure erupted into motion, appearing beside Zheng Qian in an instant as he swung his heavy sword.
It seemed like a light attack, but Zheng Qian immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The sound of something tearing through the air came from the side as Sun Yunqiang attacked. With a single sword strike, Li Yang easily repelled him again.
To be precise, Li Yang was also currently at the Late Heaven Level. Therefore, his strength surpassed Sun Yunqiang’s, but not by enough to inflict serious injuries.
"Are you going to hand it over or not? Weren’t you the one who told me to hand over my Spirit Fruits just now? Weren’t you going to crush my bones?"
After casually batting Sun Yunqiang aside, Li Yang turned his full attention back to Zheng Qian, planting a foot on his chest.
Zheng Qian let out a miserable shriek. After two attacks, he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered. If not for the powerful constitution of a Celestial Level Cultivator, he might already be dead.
Li Yang felt no mercy for Zheng Qian; he even felt the urge to kill.
Conversely, if his own strength weren’t great enough, his fate would have been no better than Zheng Qian’s right now.
Though his heart was filled with frustration, Zheng Qian finally gritted his teeth and said, "I... I’ll hand it over."
He opened his backpack. Inside was a Spirit Fruit, one that enhanced strength!
Since his father, Zheng Hu, was also in the Relic Space, he wasn’t in a hurry to refine this kind of Spirit Fruit after obtaining it. After all, no one would dare try to steal it from him.
He never expected that less than half an hour after getting it, it would be snatched away by Li Yang.
