Chapter 144 – The Jade Void Creation Art Shows Its Power (Part One)

In an instant, Ye Kuang’s afterimages flickered in and out of existence as he exchanged dozens of blows with Ma Jiaying.

His movements were less like a ghostly form and more akin to shifting shadows.

“Your palm technique is merely average. Even if you can absorb my power for your own use, you’re still no match for me!” Ma Jiaying declared, throwing a punch forward as he spoke.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang neither dodged nor avoided it, allowing the fist to strike directly at his chest.

This scene inevitably caused Ma Jiazhen’s expression to change, but before he could voice a warning, a dull thunderclap echoed through the entire corridor.

Boom!

The force of the punch met its mark and parted. Ye Kuang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body knocked flat onto the ground.

At the same time, Ma Jiaying’s face twisted like a tangled mess, his lips trembling uncontrollably, clearly consumed by fury.

Countless needle-like holes had appeared on Ma Jiaying’s fist, blood dripping down one drop at a time. In the blink of an eye, a pool of blood had formed at his feet.

It was only then that Ma Jiazhen spoke up to warn him: “Family Head, be careful. He has a piece of Soft Armor embedded in his chest…”

Hearing this, Ma Jiaying trembled with even greater rage, his mind inevitably racing with a torrent of curses!

“Heh… Haha…”

But who would have thought that Ye Kuang’s laughter would gradually reverberate through the corridor? Unable to contain himself, he slowly rose to his feet and casually spat out a mouthful of blood.

This nonchalant action left others uncertain whether he was merely putting on a brave front or if the previous punch had truly been of little consequence.

“Since Family Head Ma claims my palm technique is unworthy of his attention, allow me to show you something more formidable. Let you taste my wrath as well,” Ye Kuang said calmly.

As his words faded, he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

In that moment, it seemed as though he was not merely exhaling air but rather expressing a resolute determination.

The enemy’s strength had exceeded his expectations. If he continued to hold back, he might not even know how he died.

“Oh…” Ma Jiaying couldn’t help but feel a chill at these words, yet years of cultivated composure kept his expression unchanged. “Then come at me!”

Ye Kuang: “Very well… Here I come…”

As the two exchanged increasingly cold words, the entire corridor fell into a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone couldn’t help but stare in disbelief at the two figures confronting each other in the center.

Their unwillingness to believe was strikingly uniform, as if silently declaring that even if this young man had hidden his strength, he could never be a match for the Ma Family Head.

Thinking this, the crowd could no longer restrain themselves, erupting into a chorus of harsh criticisms.

Hearing the clamor, Ye Kuang roared, “Silence!”

Then, shifting his tone, he widened his eyes and bellowed hoarsely, “Open your dog eyes wide and watch carefully…”

Hummm!

In an instant, the blood throughout Ye Kuang’s body suddenly stilled, only to then surge through him at an astonishing speed.

Jade… Void… Creation… Art!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

A massive amount of steaming vapor erupted from Ye Kuang’s entire body. As white mist spread, it completely obscured everything from view.

Seeing this, a flicker of change passed through Ma Jiaying’s eyes, and he abruptly retreated several steps.

But when Ma Jiaying fully processed the situation, he couldn’t help but pale in horror!

At that moment, an extreme sense of danger permeated the surroundings, making everyone feel a chaotic and turbulent wave of energy.That aura which seemed both human and beast, yet neither human nor beast… was like one that could swallow mountains and rivers, with all things gestating within it, everything originating from creation, and everything ultimately returning to creation.

This caused all those below the Innate Realm to feel deeply unsettled, each as if falling into an icy abyss, their hair standing on end.

Ye Kuang: “Ah…”

With this roar, the entire corridor trembled violently.

For a moment, the glass windows became covered with cracks, and the walls began shedding layers of dust as if they might shatter into pieces at any moment.

The astonishing scene left everyone utterly horrified.

Ye Kuang had actually caused such tremendous impact with just the power of his roar!

As the white mist gradually dissipated, one could vaguely see through the haze that he was actually meditating with closed eyes, his natural aura faintly revealing an inviolable sacredness.

Upon witnessing this, Ma Jiaying was clearly uncertain for a moment.

However, the ever-confident Ma family head would not be intimidated by such mystical displays. He immediately shouted: “If this is what you call your full power, then you’d better lie down for this family head!”

Boom!

With a step forward, rubble flew in all directions.

“Break for me!” Ma Jiaying, confident in his skills, boldly chose to launch a surprise attack. Though they were dozens of meters apart, it was no match for his single step closing the distance.

His fist force erupted, more powerful than crashing waves. Even before the punch landed, it already gave people a feeling of mountains collapsing and earth splitting.

In response, Ye Kuang actually threw a punch in return.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sounded as the rubble in the corridor bounced repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Immediately following, the glass windows, floor, and walls all exploded simultaneously. For a moment, nothing remained intact in sight.

Under the force of this blow, Ye Kuang was forced back three steps.

But the fact that he had withstood Ma Jiaying’s punch directly caused everyone’s expressions to change dramatically.

“How is this possible? That kid actually blocked Family Head Ma’s punch…”

“Wait, what’s wrong with Family Head Ma?”

“Family Head Ma!!!”

Hearing this, Ma Jiaying roared furiously: “Don’t come over!!”

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped their advance, all staring incredulously at the opposite side.

Ye Kuang had now opened his eyes, his gaze looking upon others as if they were ants, extremely domineering and contemptuous…

“Family Head Ma, shall we have another round?”

“Brat, do you think gaining a bit of power means you can match me head-on? You must be dreaming.”

Unexpectedly, Ye Kuang paid no mind to these words, instead bursting into wild laughter.

When his laughter ceased, he was clearly overflowing with arrogance: “Come and try.”

Ma Jiaying, suppressing his anger, couldn’t help but laugh in extreme fury: “Utterly arrogant!”

Boom!

Boom!

Two simultaneous footsteps echoed as two afterimages flashed through the corridor.

Looking closely, they were none other than Ye Kuang and Ma Jiaying!

As their fists and feet rose and fell, the wide-open, unrestrained battle once begun became unstoppable.

No one could have predicted that while executing the Jade Void Creation Art, Ye Kuang could actually fight head-to-head with Ma Jiaying of the Innate Realm.

Perhaps even he himself was surprised. Originally thinking he could at least put up a fight even if he couldn’t win, he never expected he could not only attack and defend, but also exchange blows evenly.
