Chapter 339: Chapter 335: Fist Technique Showdown
BOOM!
A massive collision echoed through the void, like an invisible millstone grinding with a thunderous rumble.
This was the sound of their two auras colliding.
WHOOSH!
Everyone felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around the two fighters descend into chaos, as if two great fish were battling in the ocean, stirring up enormous waves.
And this was just a clash of auras. They had yet to truly make a move.
"Fall back, quickly!"
The members of the Tyrant Fist Sect retreated again and again, their hearts pounding in terror. The mere collision of auras was enough to make them feel like they were suffocating.
"Is that boy really in the Divine Travel Realm?"
Everyone stared at Ning Jiang in horror, finding it utterly unbelievable. He clearly had the Cultivation of a Divine Travel Realm expert, yet his aura was nearly as strong as that of Zhang Tianze, who was in the Immortal Realm.
Isn’t that a bit too much?
"Don’t worry. No matter how strong he is, he can’t possibly be a match for an Immortal Realm expert. The gap between their Realms is just too vast."
"That’s right. At best, he can hold on for a little while, but if this drags on, he’s bound to lose."
As the few of them discussed it, they still felt Zhang Tianze had the upper hand.
’This boy cannot be allowed to live!’
It wasn’t just them; Zhang Tianze was also startled by Ning Jiang. ’To be this strong in the Divine Travel Realm... if he reaches the Immortal Realm, just how absurd will he be?’
Since they were already enemies, there was no reason to show mercy. He had no desire to wait for Ning Jiang to grow stronger and come seeking revenge.
"Normally, you being the Master of Myriad Swords Sect is none of my business. But since you dare to provoke me, I have no choice but to end you here today."
Zhang Tianze stomped his foot, and his body shot toward Ning Jiang like a cannonball.
RUMBLE.
He threw a punch through the air. A terrifying Fist Force spread out, creating ripples in the air visible to the naked eye. Each ripple was powerful enough to severely injure a God-Seizing Realm expert.
Ning Jiang took a gentle, deep breath and stretched his entire body.
CRACKLE! POP!
His bones and tendons popped and crackled. As his qi and blood circulated, they produced a sound like rolling thunder.
He clenched his five fingers into a fist and suddenly threw a punch.
BANG.
The two vast Fist Forces collided in the void, creating a massive explosion.
"You have some skill. Surging Waves Fist!"
Seeing his punch blocked by Ning Jiang, Zhang Tianze acted decisively, activating a Martial Technique.
In that instant, a torrent of water actually surged from his body, forming a great wave that swept forward. The sound of a monstrous, surging tide echoed through the void.
"A Water Attribute Cultivator."
Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed. Zhang Tianze’s Cultivation Technique was of the Water Attribute.
He, on the other hand, cultivated the Thunder Attribute, which could slightly suppress his opponent. However, this suppression was minimal; what truly mattered was one’s Cultivation.
RUMBLE!
Extending his arm, Ning Jiang gathered brilliant arcs of electricity on his fist. When he threw the punch, a bolt of thunder shot out like a long river.
The two great Fist Techniques slammed into each other, evenly matched.
"Again."
Zhang Tianze charged forward, throwing a continuous stream of punches. He wanted to see just how many of his punches Ning Jiang, with his Divine Travel Realm Cultivation, could take.
’It shouldn’t be long before the Spiritual Qi in Ning Jiang’s body is completely depleted!’
"Break."
Ning Jiang didn’t retreat a single step, meeting Zhang Tianze’s Fist Technique head-on.
For him, this battle was a valuable experience.
The last time he fought an Immortal Realm expert, Yang Mucheng, he had ultimately relied on the power of the Celestial Thunder Banner. But this time was different. This time, it was his own strength.
He could use Zhang Tianze to test the true extent of his own power.
After breaking through to the Divine Travel Realm, could he truly stand on equal footing with someone in the Immortal Realm?
He would know the answer soon enough.
"Hongze Fist!"
After throwing dozens of punches, all of which were blocked by Ning Jiang, Zhang Tianze abruptly changed his Fist Technique. The power of this next punch far surpassed that of the Surging Waves Fist; it was its advanced variation.
SPLASH!
An incredibly surging sound echoed out. As Zhang Tianze’s fist shot forward, a raging flood appeared in the void, crashing down like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
Water can be gentle, yet it can overcome the unyielding.
When calm, no one could see the destructive power of water. But once it erupted, it was enough to topple the mighty and sweep through everything in its path.
"Petty tricks."
An even more brilliant Thunderbolt erupted from Ning Jiang’s body, blasting outwards.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
They clashed dozens of times. Gradually, Zhang Tianze began to feel that something was wrong. Logically, after such an intense exchange, Ning Jiang, with his Divine Travel Realm Cultivation, should have long since exhausted his Spiritual Qi.
Yet, Ning Jiang looked completely unfazed.
’This kid is truly a handful.’
Zhang Tianze let out a long cry. "Then take this! Raging Sea Assault!"
Vast streams of water gushed out. They didn’t spread in all directions but instead gathered above Zhang Tianze’s head, forming a small, turbulent ocean.
"Go!"
With a thought from Zhang Tianze, the waves surged to the heavens, sweeping toward Ning Jiang like a world-ending tide.
RUMBLE.
Ning Jiang shot into the sky, his body accelerating through the air. His entire being seemed to transform into a bolt of thunder, fiercely crashing into the monstrous waves.
"Power of Water, condense!"
Zhang Tianze pointed his finger. The streams of water rapidly condensed, hardening into sharp spikes that shot toward Ning Jiang with a piercing whistle.
"You think you can hurt me with a trick like this?"
A flash of disdain crossed Ning Jiang’s eyes. Raging Purple Thunder surged from his body. Under his control, this Thunder Power transformed into numerous Thunder Swords, which shot out to meet the attack.
Instantly, the sound of explosions filled the air.
’It’s a shame. After my Ice Soul Sword was broken, I haven’t found a suitable replacement. If I had a sword in hand, my combat power would be even greater.’
CRACKLE!
His figure shot out, transforming into a streak of lightning as he closed in on Zhang Tianze.
After achieving Great Success in the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body, his physical strength was his advantage. In battle, one must learn to use their advantages. That was the mark of a smart fighter.
"Insolent!"
Seeing Ning Jiang charge right up to him, Zhang Tianze felt utterly humiliated. He let out a cold snort as a current of water enveloped him, forming a suit of Water Armor.
THUD!
Ning Jiang’s fist slammed into the Water Armor. Ripples spread across the armor’s surface, and although Zhang Tianze was sent flying, he wasn’t seriously injured.
When it comes to offense, Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques might not be at the very top.
But their Defense Power is quite formidable.
"If one punch isn’t enough, then I’ll use ten, or a hundred."
Ning Jiang’s aura surged. He charged out like a tyrannosaurus, his entire body crackling with thunder. With every punch he threw, thunder rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"This is bad."
The expressions of the Tyrant Fist Sect members changed dramatically, their faces etched with disbelief.
They could only watch as Zhang Tianze was suppressed by Ning Jiang, beaten back step by step.
"The final punch!"
Suddenly, Ning Jiang transformed into a world-shaking thunderbolt and blasted forward to deliver the killing blow.
