Chapter 54 – A Madman Strikes with Thunder

Ye Kuang: “Make your move!”

His words still hung in the air, yet he stood as still as a maiden.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he resembled an enlightened master—unflinching even if mountains crumbled before him!

Left Guardian: “Heh… Like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. This Protector will make sure you learn what fear truly means.”

Without another word, Ye Kuang tapped the ground with his toes and shot forward like an arrow!

His palms led the way, generating a powerful aura that enveloped the entire Arena before he even closed in.

It was clear Ye Kuang was taking this seriously—he had already unleashed the Dragon Subduing Palm before the fight even began!

In response, Left Guardian threw a punch.

Swift and ruthless!

Whoosh-BOOM!

When fist and palm collided, the impact was thunderous, deafeningly loud.

The force was so immense it created layers of air explosions, stirring up a violent gale.

Under the blow, Ye Kuang was forced back three steps, his final step cracking the floor beneath him!

Left Guardian, however, fared even worse—the sleeve of his right arm had shredded into tatters, swaying in the wind, and his entire arm was drenched in blood…

No one could have anticipated such a sudden turn of events.

As the audience below regained their senses, they were struck with awe and terror.

“What just happened? Did I see a dragon’s shadow? How… how is that possible?”

“Such immense energy! Could this be the legendary True Qi, radiating dominance?”

“Holy shit, that kid was playing dumb all along! How much power has he been hiding? Damn, we’ve all been fooled. This guy isn’t human… but I like it! Hahaha…”

“……”

In an instant, the air filled with screams, the scene more explosive than ever.

Only then did Left Guardian snap back to reality. Seeing the crimson blood dripping from his right fist, he was utterly stunned.

Had he not sensed danger and unleashed his full power earlier, it wouldn’t have been just a bloody arm—it could have been far worse.

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang paid no heed, his aura soaring to unprecedented heights, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.

With a swift leap, he darted back and forth, his speed unmatched!

At the same time, Left Guardian sharply lifted his head, revealing hawk-like, intimidating eyes.

In that moment, his palms drew a circle in front of his chest, summoning a surge of invisible energy.

Seeing this, even Tie Feng rose to his feet: “That is…”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

But immediately after, a dragon’s roar and tiger’s growl erupted through the hall, drowning out all other noise.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

In an instant, the entire Arena trembled and hummed, even the ropes swaying and whipping violently.

Witnessing Ye Kuang’s transformation, everyone present was struck speechless with horror.

They all widened their eyes, fixed on the two figures on the stage.

There, Ye Kuang clutched his chest with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had clearly suffered internal injuries!

On the other side, Left Guardian’s tailcoat had completely shredded, revealing a chest crisscrossed with scars.

“Urgh.” Left Guardian then vomited a stream of black blood.

……

Three minutes later.

“Did we win?”The hall had just erupted with that scream, causing the entire scene to boil over once again.

Once the tsunami-like roar erupted, it became unstoppable…

Amidst this uproar, Ye Kuang suddenly raised his head, looking coldly at his opponent as he declared, “You’re strong, but it seems you’re still no match for me.”

As he spoke, his century-cultivated True Qi instantly grew intensely active, flooding through his limbs and entire body.

Ye Kuang straightened his chest and lifted his head, as if he had already recovered from his injuries…

His aura grew increasingly formidable, as though it was escalating with every passing moment.

Even Iron Hand nearby couldn’t help but feel the pressure mounting by the second, forcing him to retreat to the edge of the corner.

When Iron Hand looked again at the madman before him, it was as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

As for his opponent, the Left Guardian felt it most profoundly.

Soon, it became apparent that the Left Guardian’s figure was slowly retreating, as if facing a primordial beast that instilled a sliver of fear in him.

“Hahaha…”

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter. Truth be told, he had carefully considered before employing the Dragon Subduing Palm.

However, after witnessing the Left Guardian’s strength, he had a rough understanding of his opponent’s capabilities.

But Ye Kuang’s unrestrained demeanor, in the eyes of the audience below, was interpreted differently.

One by one, they saw it as his attitude—his stance toward the countless people present, his demeanor after battling his opponent, his arrogant and fearless posture…

Yet, they had to admit that Ye Kuang indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

He could treat his opponent as nothing!

The more impassioned Ye Kuang’s laughter grew, the more uncontrollable it became, until his roaring mirth silenced the entire arena.

It was as if a certain truth had been laid bare—the more he laughed, rocking back and forth, the more exhilarating it felt.

Truly worthy of a madman’s heroic bearing!

Just as Iron Hand had said, Ye Kuang lived up to his name as the Dark Horse Madman.

And at that moment, the Left Guardian’s entire body went limp as he collapsed powerlessly.

Seeing this, Iron Hand naturally understood the situation and promptly raised his voice to announce the winner of the match.

“The winner is… the Dark Horse Madman, Ye Kuang!!!”

Roar, roar, roar!

At that moment, the entire arena’s boiling was inevitable, each person unable to restrain themselves from hysterically cheering in celebration.

Instead, Ye Kuang took a step forward, approached the Left Guardian, and with a single hand, grasped his pulse to channel a strand of True Qi into him.

Under his control, that energy flowed like a clear stream, soothing the severely damaged internal organs and gradually regulating his injuries.

Here, it must be mentioned that this century-cultivated True Qi was comparable to a divine elixir—as long as one wasn’t dead, it would have miraculous effects.

Only after half a quarter of an hour did Ye Kuang finally withdraw his hand with a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, on the high platform.

Tie Feng finally let out a relieved breath and said with a smile, “It seems there’s no life-threatening danger now…”
