Chapter 122 – Visitors from All Directions Compete for Supremacy (Three)

Ye Kuang’s right leg instantly bent like a bow, blocking Mang Shan’s Sweeping Army strike. Simultaneously, both his hands spread open, clearly executing the Uplifting Hand Piercing Fist to meet two incoming fists.

Thump! Thump!

In that instant, two dull thunderclaps erupted at once, resonating like awakening temple bells that shook the entire arena.

To be frank, everyone had expected Ye Kuang to be at a disadvantage. Who could have imagined he would instead seize the upper hand?

Faster than words can tell!

Both Cang Lan and You Hu were sent flying back by the recoil, soaring several zhang away before landing firmly on opposite walls.

Witnessing this, even Mang Shan couldn’t help but feel horrified.

How could Ye Kuang’s strength be so immense? This completely defied the conventional limits of the Clarity Realm. Calling it the pinnacle would hardly be an exaggeration.

With this thought, Mang Shan seized the momentum to throw a punch, unleashing a force akin to wind and thunder.

At the same time, Cang Lan and You Hu lunged forward again.

It must be said here that these two shared the same martial arts lineage, resulting in nearly identical techniques.

They joined their hands together, layers of eerie light continuously blooming. With their synchronized movements, they actually drew countless shadowy circles in the air.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang’s eyes narrowed slightly; he clearly recognized that the trio intended to attack from both inside and out.

He immediately sent a powerful palm strike to repel Mang Shan, then attempted to repeat the tactic to break the encirclement from the other two.

But unexpectedly, a radiant light also burst forth around Mang Shan, and the punch he threw was immensely powerful and heavy.

For a moment, despite Ye Kuang’s fierce attacks, he couldn’t force his opponents back.

Seizing this opportunity, Cang Lan and You Hu closed in on him from the front.

Ha!

Ha!

The three had cooperated for years, and this very move had defeated countless martial heroes in the jianghu.

At this moment, they were confident that this time would be no exception.

When that pair of palms and single fist instantly slammed into Ye Kuang’s chest and back, the movements were crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Mang Shan could hardly contain his excitement: “Brat, did you really think you could oppose us, the Tiangang? You’d need another hundred years of training.”

Cang Lan: “This kid is all show and no substance. After taking our Heart-Crushing Palms, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be skinned alive.”

You Hu: “Well said.”

Seeing this, even the surrounding Tiangang members grew exhilarated, itching to join the fray themselves, all voicing their disdain.

Ye Kuang: “Oh really?”

But as a sudden cold wind swept through the arena, everyone felt an illusion of a bone stuck in their throat.

Their smiles froze one by one; faces flushed with excitement instantly drained of all color.

Ye Kuang exhaled turbid air, and as his True Qi surged, golden radiance erupted chaotically across his entire body.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roars of tigers and cries of dragons gradually rose, transforming the arena into a draconic lair. Endless roars revealed the presence of a single figure.

That figure was Ye Kuang!

His robes began to billow as an overwhelming power burgeoned forth, forcibly pushing Mang Shan and the other two backward step by step.

Witnessing this, Cang Lan was utterly terrified and roared: “Suppress him!!!”

You Hu acted with lightning speed, violent bursts of Dark Radiance shooting forth like a collapsing river, unstoppable as they surged toward Ye Kuang.

For a moment, radiant light blazed brilliantly while dark rays proliferated wildly.

Mang Shan and the other two had clearly engaged in a contest of Internal Energy, ganging up on a single opponent.

In their view, how could any individual in this world possibly withstand the combined force of three experts?Moreover, Ye Kuang was barely over twenty years old—no matter how formidable he might be, he couldn’t possibly rival some of the old monsters.

Just as everyone thought the swelling momentum had been contained, before they could even voice their thoughts, the situation changed in the blink of an eye.

“Daring to compete with me in Internal Energy? You’d need another hundred years of training! Break!” Ye Kuang suddenly roared and surged upward.

As soon as his words fell, the swelling momentum became unstoppable!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The Vigorous Qi, once exhaled, clearly had no equal at that moment. The visible steam-like substance shot out in all directions.

Bang, bang, bang!

Mang Shan and the other two were struck as if by a heavy blow. As the rainbow light and black glow dissipated, they were sent flying backward by a powerful force.

It was only at this moment that they regretted their actions to the core.

Had the three of them engaged in a prolonged fight, the outcome might still have been uncertain. But who would have thought they’d foolishly compete with Ye Kuang in Internal Energy?

This was like brandishing an axe before Lu Ban—sheer overestimation of their abilities!

And now, Ye Kuang possessed the power of a hundred and thirty years of cultivation. Even if the ages of Mang Shan and the other two were combined, they wouldn’t come close.

The result was obvious!

Mang Shan and the other two simultaneously spat blood, collapsing to the ground with no strength left to fight.

The outcome had come so abruptly that everyone was still in a daze.

No matter how they imagined it, they never expected Mang Shan and the other two to be utterly defeated!

Moreover, the defeat was so complete!

“Big Brother!”

“Second Brother!”

“Third Brother!”

At that moment, the members of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars witnessed this scene and seemed to lose their composure. How could such a thing happen? Even their mighty leader had been defeated?

How was this possible?

It took a moment before the dozens of them snapped back to reality and rushed forward in a chaotic uproar.

Seeing this, Mang Shan turned pale and struggled to shout, “Step back!”

Whoosh!

Unbeknownst to them, the exertion caused Mang Shan to vomit another mouthful of blood.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, can you still fight?”

“Big Brother, cough, cough… We will defend the dignity of the Heavenly Stars to the death!”

At this point, Ye Kuang went completely berserk.

His palms struck like thunder, his fists flew like shadows. Dealing with these unenlightened individuals was as easy as cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

In an instant, the chaotic scene resembled a bustling marketplace, with dozens of figures sent flying.

Even Ling Yun and Ling Piaoyun couldn’t help but change their expressions. Who could have imagined that Ye Kuang was far stronger than anyone had thought?

As for Gao Laosan and the others, they were utterly dumbfounded, frozen in shock!

Was this really Ye Kuang?

It seemed as though he alone had overturned the martial world status of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars…

Seeing this, Ling Piaoyun couldn’t contain her excitement and cried out in a clear voice, “Senior Brother, if not now, when?”

As she spoke, she led Gao Laosan and the others into action.

In no time, the scene became one of utter chaos. In terms of ruthlessness, none could surpass Gao Laosan and his companions.

Their strikes grew increasingly vicious.

Whether it was kicking like an eagle or striking like a black tiger, they targeted nothing but vital points.

Within half an hour, the ground was littered with figures, all pale and moaning in pain.

Only Gao Laosan and the other two were visibly exhilarated.

After all, they had long been oppressed and frequently criticized. Now, it felt as if they had finally vindicated themselves.

Once word of this spread, who would dare speak ill of them again?
