Chapter 97: Quaking Star Fist (First Explosion! Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!!!) of Volume 5: Mysterious Yellow Ancient City
"Give me a break!"
Chen Hao, who had long been prepared, suddenly accelerated his yuan force to the extreme, and unexpectedly did not dodge or evade, but instead launched a flurry of punches in rapid succession!
In an instant, a series of fist shadows, like a string of cannonballs, had already surged forward like a mighty river, violently pounding against the enormous palm shadow of Dongfang Jie.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous air bursting sounds rose and fell, Dongfang Jie's fierce attack hadn't even reached Chen Huan within a zhang range, yet it completely dispersed. The yuan force rampaged, the strong winds suddenly arose, and the turbulent power made the surrounding disciples with lower cultivation unable to withstand it, forcing them to raise their protective body qi to defend against it.
Dongfang Jie's face changed: "How is it possible, my Mountain-moving Palm is a 9th-level ultimate skill, and I've already pushed it to the limit. How can it be that even a small 4th-grade Martial Emperor can break through it head-on?"
Dongfang Jie knew Chen Hao's sword speed, so from the start, he wanted to rely on his own absolute power as a fifth-grade Wuhuang to completely suppress Chen Hao, but unexpectedly, it was broken by Chen Hao so easily!
"Shaking Star Fist!"
What's even more unexpected is that after breaking through Dongfangjie's Mountain-Crushing Palm, Chen Huan didn't stop at all. The series of fist shadows suddenly disappeared, and his entire body was like a swift and fierce wind, charging towards Dongfangjie with lightning speed. At the same time, his right fist shone with a dazzling and condensed aura of yuan energy, as if it had transformed into a star in the sky, and then he punched out!
At this moment, Dongfang Jie felt a terrifying pressure, knowing that he had already been locked onto by Chen Huan's fist intent and didn't dare to hesitate again.
"Shattered Jade Claw!"
Dongfang Jie's eyes were filled with a fierce, venomous and vengeful wildness, his five fingers suddenly opening into claws, the brown yuan force making his claws shine with a jade-like luster, meeting Chen Huan's fist!
……
"Shaking Star Fist? Isn't that a fragment from the third floor of the Absolute Academy? How did this kid manage to master it?"
"Ah, Shu Yu Zhao... Dong Fang family's 9th grade ultimate technique..."
The two of them immediately clashed head-on and began close combat, which shocked everyone. At this moment, when the fists and claws were about to intersect, many mid-level and high-level disciples' eyes condensed slightly, and they secretly thought to themselves.
Chen Hao's expression was cold and stern as he let out a cold snort, unexpectedly not changing his fist path, and instead charged forward fiercely!
Ding!
Rumble!
At the moment when the fists and claws intersected, a sound similar to the clashing of gold and iron suddenly burst out, accompanied by a terrifying explosion. The scene where Chen Huan's fist was locked in everyone's imagination did not appear, but instead two figures suddenly retreated violently!
"Pffft!"
Dongfang Jue's throat was sweet in the midst of the explosion, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Lao Si's shattered jade claw was also broken?" Dongfang Zhan and Dongfang Ying's faces suddenly turned ugly, although they had expected Chen Hao's strength to be strong, but didn't think it would be so powerful. He could even withstand the challenge of Yu Pin, and suppress Dongfang Jie with absolute power.
The disciples who were watching also felt incredible!
"The Star-Shattering Fist is actually so powerful, no wonder it's so difficult to practice..." Many intermediate and advanced disciples had tried to cultivate the Star-Shattering Fist, but only a handful of true geniuses were able to succeed. At this moment, seeing Chen Huan break through Dongfang Jie's Shattered Jade Claw with the Star-Shattering Fist, and Dongfang Jie being a 5th-grade Martial Emperor, they were all extremely shocked.
"Clang!"
Dongfang Jie wiped away the blood from his mouth corner in a burst of fury, his expression becoming even more crazed as he suddenly drew his sword from behind his back!
The sword is three feet and three inches long, one inch and eight wide. Although it's not as wide or long as Mo Yu's greatsword, the sword body emits a chilling aura that makes one shiver. The material is clearly far superior to Mo Yu's greatsword. While it hasn't reached the level of a spiritual treasure, it's definitely not an ordinary iron sword. Disciples from humble families like Chen Huan can't afford it. Probably only disciples from the three major families have access to such high-grade swords!
"A clap of thunder on dry land!"
The treasure sword in hand, the eastern hero's aura suddenly soared, raised his sword and swung it, in an instant a series of sharp sword lights, like thunderbolts on dry land, burst out violently!
Rumble...
The hard rocky ground around Chen Hao suddenly burst into countless fragments, smoke and dust billowing like a dense explosion of bombs, completely engulfing Chen Hao's figure in the rubble and smoke, forcibly stopping his continued fierce attack!
Boom boom boom...
Chen Haokong's fists cast a heavy shadow, and except for his eyes slightly shrinking back, he didn't show the slightest fear, punching to shatter the sword lights that shot towards his body.
"Retreating Turtle, you're indeed very strong, but with just this bit of power, then honestly kneel down and kowtow to me! Thunder shakes the nine heavens!"
Dongfang Jie's momentum was unstoppable, and he unleashed his ultimate sword technique, "Thunderclap Sword", to its final layer, "Lei Dong Jiutian". The violent yuan energy condensed into a sword aura, and with a swift movement, the sword merged with him as one, striking Chen Huan with lightning speed.
"Daydream!"
Chen Huan, who seemed to be completely suppressed, suddenly shook his body, and the protective aura around him suddenly "roared" like a brown flame, burning fiercely, and the momentum of the whole person surged violently!
"Fist Shatters Starlight!"
Hiss...... Rumble rumble......
A fist condensed to the extreme, like a brilliant meteor, broke through the dense sword light with an unstoppable force. Dongfang Jie, who had the upper hand, couldn't have imagined that Chen Huan would dodge his sword in such a strange way. Before he could even react, Chen Huan's earth-shattering punch sent him flying with a miserable cry.
Pfft!
Like a kite cut off from its string, Dongfang Jie was still flying in mid-air when he suddenly spat out a blood arrow.
"Fourth brother!"
The change came too quickly, and by the time Dongfang Xian and Dongfang Ying reacted, it was already too late to make a move.
"Damn you! I'm going to kill you!" The two caught Dongfang Jie, and upon seeing his pale face, clearly heavily injured, Dongfang Ying immediately shouted in anger, about to rush out.
"I'm coming!" Dongfang Zhan pulled Dongfang Ying with one hand and said in a cold tone.
……
"Awesome... The challenge of the Strongest Fist has been completed! The Quaking Star Fist is truly powerful... Chen Huan was able to master it, his talent is not simple at all! Unfortunately, even if he's stronger this time, it won't be enough..."
The crowd was in an uproar, and when they saw the Sixth-Rank Martial Emperor Dongfang Xuan appear on stage, they knew that this battle was probably going to end.
Some new disciples, however, were muttering curses against the Dongfang family. Not to mention the wheel war, they relied on their strength to bully the weak, and it was clear that these people had not yet deeply experienced the shamelessness of the Dongfang family's disciples.
"Chen Hao has actually become so strong! He was just a martial artist when he was with us... This talent..." The several disciples beside Zhuge Qingyun were apparently even more shocked. In less than half a year, the original Chen Hao, who was special in physique and had extremely high innate talent but was not worth mentioning in terms of combat power, had now grown to a realm where most of them could no longer match him.
……
"Clang!"
Without giving anyone time to react, Dongfang Zhan drew his sword with a cold and arrogant expression, his eyes filled with endless cruelty staring at Chen Huan who was unscathed.
His sword was identical to Dongfang Ying's sword, obviously a treasure of the same rank.
Chen Hao's face showed no expression, only the slightly raised corners of his mouth told everyone that he was filled with disdain and arrogance from the bottom of his heart!
Silently and without warning, a simple iron-wood scabbard emerged from behind, drawing out a sword.
What astonished everyone was that Chen Hao's scabbard was made of iron wood, but his sword turned out to be an iron wood sword as well!
Ironwood, extremely hard and comparable to steel. However, it is still wood after all, and no matter how hard or sharp it is, there are limits. Typically, ironwood swords are used by family disciples when practicing swordplay among themselves, in order to avoid unnecessary harm.
But Chen Hao's sword on his back was actually an Iron Wood Sword!
This is beyond everyone's expectation.
However, this iron wood sword seems to have an unusual aura in the eyes of everyone. The body of the sword is smooth as jade, with a subtle metallic luster, without any flaws, even the hilt is so, there is no sword edge, and the sword tip is also rounded, but that kind of perfect unity feeling, at least all the people present have not seen such an exquisite iron wood sword.
……
"Die!"
Hiss!
As soon as the Eastern Unfolding Sound fell, his figure unfolded and appeared three meters away from Chen Huan, with a treasured sword in hand that suddenly shook violently. In an instant, it burst forth with dazzling dark brown sword aura, and one sword stabbed out!
"So fast!"
Cries of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding...
But what's even more astonishing is yet to come.
A string of dense metallic ringing sounds suddenly rang out, and the sword light flashed, covering up Chen Huan and Dongfang Zhan's rapidly flashing figures.
Dongfang Zhan is originally a master swordsman who emphasizes speed, and with the same sword skills in his hands, he can necessarily burst out with even stronger power. This point is absolutely not something that Dongfang Ying and Dongfang Jie can compare to, and even Dongfang Jun is not as good as him in this aspect. Therefore, after Dongfang Ying and Dongfang Jie were slapped on the back of the neck by Chen Huan's "Fast Sword" last time, he has been looking forward to competing with Chen Huan to see who has the faster sword!
So, as soon as he took the stage, it was his perfectly mastered ninth-level peak sword technique, "Lightning Sword"!
Ding ding...... Boom boom......
The two men dodged and weaved, advancing and retreating, forcing the crowd of onlookers to move back and forth across the vast courtyard as well. The clash of their magnificent swordsmanship was so intense that even some of the high-ranking seniors, including those at the level of Martial Emperor, couldn't help but take a cold breath.
"What a strong swordsmanship talent! Although their cultivation is not high, their sword skills are surprisingly exquisite!"
"Roar!"
Hiss!
Dongfang Zhan's heart was shocked beyond measure, originally he wanted to use his proud quick sword to heavily injure the opponent, but unexpectedly Chen Huan, who was only holding an iron wood sword, wasn't slower than him by a single bit, and even... was faster. It must be known that Dongfang Zhan was on the offensive first, while Chen Huan was on the defensive afterwards. One was proactive, one was passive, completely two different concepts, but Chen Huan managed to block all of his sword moves without leaving any gaps under the circumstances of being passive. Such reaction speed and agility made Dongfang Zhan dare not be arrogant again, suddenly letting out a loud roar, releasing all of the violent yuan power from the peak of the 6th rank Wu Huang!
A sword flashed out, as if tearing through the void, that dazzling sword light brought unparalleled ferocity and pressure towards Chen Huan!
Chen Hao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and even he didn't expect that the strength of Dongfang Zhan, a sixth-grade Martial Emperor, would be so formidable. As someone who had unified his will and martial arts to reach the peak of grade four, he hadn't planned on using his spiritual power at all. After all, his physical talent was such that, relying solely on his martial arts cultivation, he possessed the powerful ability to challenge those above his level.
But at this moment, Chen Hao knew that if he didn't use his spiritual power, he would be the one to lose!
Hiss!
Tiě Mù Jiàn's dazzling yuan force suddenly and strangely fluctuated, without any change in color, and in the eyes of many onlookers, it was thought that Chén Hào was just taking a brief breath.
But...
