Chapter 146 – Facing the Enemy Unable to Prevail, Retreating in Defeat

“Junior, even if you can enter demonic state, this old man will still pummel you to death!”

Ma Jiaying snarled hoarsely, sprinting forward with his palms spread open before launching into the fierce and unyielding Xingyi Fist.

One could say that merely recalling how he had taken a direct hit earlier was enough to make the Ma Family Head’s rage boil over.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in Ye Kuang’s eyes as he similarly charged forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wherever he passed, despite the floor’s extraordinary durability, it successively exploded under the impact.

The powerful energy gusts erupted like blades and swords, leaving indelible marks on the surrounding walls.

In an instant, the two closed the distance. Ye Kuang bent and straightened his arms before violently thrusting out his long-prepared palms.

Soaring from the Abyss!

Ma Jiaying responded in kind.

It was none other than “Azure Dragon Ascends”!

Hiss—BOOM!!!

The deafening roar struck like thunder from clear skies.

At that moment, the ground beneath them instantly collapsed, sending both men plummeting to the fourth floor.

The onlookers gasped in shock, peering down through the newly formed hole.

At this point, Ye Kuang and Ma Jiaying stood like two stone statues!

Their faces alternated between gold and white as their True Qi clashed, clearly engaged in an Internal Energy contest.

Here, it must be mentioned: one was a seasoned Senior, the other a rising star.

Who could have predicted this supposedly one-sided battle would shift so dramatically?

Moreover, Ye Kuang’s profound Internal Energy far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Even someone as powerful as the Ma Family Head appeared overwhelmed, his face trembling uncontrollably.

“Break!” Suddenly, Ma Jiaying’s eyes blazed with ferocious light as he unleashed a startling burst of hidden strength.

Ye Kuang was forced into continuous retreat, each step triggering explosions on both sides.

For a time, detonations echoed endlessly. Through the billowing smoke, the devastating power remained unmistakable.

In mere moments, the fourth-floor Corridor was reduced to ruins.

Yet through it all, Ye Kuang’s gaze never wavered, his sharp eyes locked intently on his opponent.

Only when he planted his foot firmly backward did he finally halt the momentum.

Then, Ye Kuang issued a triumphant declaration: “Family Head Ma, your fate is sealed!”

Ma Jiaying’s aged face darkened at the words. However he imagined this fight, he never expected this nameless junior to possess such profound Internal Energy.

“You think you’ve got me figured out?”

“Haha, isn’t that obvious?”

“Heh… Hahaha…” Ma Jiaying erupted in mad laughter: “Then let this old man teach you a lesson! Even if your combat power rivals the Innate Realm, the chasm between Realms can never be bridged by mere fighting strength!”

“BREAK!!!”

Faster than words could describe—

Boom!

Ye Kuang staggered from the force transmitted through his palms, barely believing what he felt.

But then he understood: Ma Jiaying had deliberately withdrawn his palms despite knowing it would injure himself.

One had to admit—the old bastard was both ruthless and decisive!

“RAAH!” Ma Jiaying roared, charging recklessly forward.

Seeing the old man assaulting him again, Ye Kuang’s composure finally cracked.The situation was dire, with dangers ahead and behind. If he lingered any longer, the outcome would be predictable.

At this thought, despite his unwillingness, he had to admit that the gap in their Realms was a fatal disadvantage.

Should he retreat or continue resisting stubbornly?

It was a difficult choice, one that even Ye Kuang hesitated over briefly.

Meanwhile, Ma Jiaying had already closed in, giving him no time to ponder further.

It was only then that a change flickered in Ye Kuang’s eyes. Without a second thought, he crossed his arms over his chest and suddenly raised them toward the sky.

Roar!

Two Wandering Dragons surged from his arms, intertwining as if one within the other, transforming into a colossal, lifelike entity.

Ma Jiaying had assumed it would end here, but he never expected this junior to be so deeply concealed.

In panic, Ma Jiaying could only retreat repeatedly, erupting with explosive punches as the Qi Sea throughout his body churned violently.

Roar!

In an instant, a tiger form materialized, shaking the surroundings with its ferocious roars.

When the dragon and tiger locked eyes, it was as if they were natural enemies, and they pounced on each other fiercely.

Ye Kuang: “Twin Dragons Draw Water!”

Ma Jiaying: “Fierce Tiger Emerges from the Den!”

Roar, roar, roar!

For a moment, the dragon and tiger tangled in combat. Though both were illusory creations, their terrifying destructive power was undeniable.

Gold and white lights alternated, filling the vision with chaotic, dazzling radiance.

In mere moments, the dragon and tiger bit each other’s throats and exploded with a deafening blast.

Boom!!!

The earth-shattering explosion unleashed a violent shockwave that swept fiercely in all directions.

Ma Jiaying, struck by the recoil, vomited a mouthful of blood, his rage burning uncontrollably.

At that moment, failing to locate Ye Kuang, the Ma family head’s blood pressure soared in fury.

Unbeknownst to him, chaos had already erupted on the fifth floor.

Sudden Arrival!

Shocking Hundred Li!

Leaping from the Abyss!

Twin Dragons Draw Water!

Bang, bang, bang!

As the dragon’s roars ceased intermittently, explosions followed. Dozens of Wandering Dragons roared forth, overturning everyone in the Corridor.

Amid the swirling dust, not a single figure was visible to the naked eye.

Dragging his heavy body, Ye Kuang darted to Ling Yun’s front and thrust both palms fiercely toward two boxing champions.

Bang, bang!

The two iron-willed men couldn’t withstand a single blow, their arms shattered as they crashed against the walls on either side, left gasping for breath with little life remaining!

But just as Ye Kuang intended to pull Ling Yun up, a hidden iron fist struck his chest without warning.

Thud!

At the critical moment, Ling Yun, seeing Ye Kuang drenched in blood, immediately embraced the attacker without hesitation, roaring, “As long as the green hills remain, there’ll be no shortage of firewood! Ye Kuang, run now!!!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t hold back his tears, his vision blurred with emotion.

Though they had met by chance, their time together had forged a deep bond of friendship.

Now, this brother was risking his life to buy him a final chance at survival…

The thought filled Ye Kuang with grief and fury, and a mouthful of dark blood erupted uncontrollably from his throat.

Seizing the momentum from that punch, he leaped upward.

In less than three breaths, Ye Kuang had vaulted through a hole in the ceiling and vanished from sight.

Only a lingering, murderous intent echoed under the night sky, refusing to fade.”If you die, Ling Yun, I will slaughter the Xingyi Sect one day!!! Aaaah…”
