Chapter 387 - 387 387 Fierce Competition

Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Fierce Competition Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Fierce Competition Fan Shaoyun’s face was filled with shock, his expression stiff.

Fan Shaoyun couldn’t believe that, with all his strength at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, he couldn’t shake Yi Tianqing.

Fan Shaoyun’s palm was definitely terrifying, as seen by the instantly-collapsed massive arena.

But Yi Tianqing stood in his place, bearing the brunt of Fan Shaoyun’s palm, and yet was completely unharmed.

“Oh? Yi Tianqing actually has such strength?” the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect couldn’t contain his surprise, he also couldn’t believe Yi Tianqing could block Fan Shaoyun’s full-force attack.

“Yi Tianqing actually has this strength? This is impossible!” the Bai Family Head exclaimed in disbelief, his face showing a trace of shock.

“Yi Tianqing has just stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm, and his realm is not even stable, it’s impossible for him to contend with Fan Shaoyun, what is going on?” Ye Shuihan said in disbelief.

The strength of Fan Shaoyun was very clear to the various large powers of the heavenly domain, and not just any ordinary Heavenly Human Realm First Layer could contend with him.

The powerhouses of the large forces all showed shock on their faces.

The countless cultivators watching the battle were also a picture of shock and awe.

“Brother Feng, it looks like you were wrong, Yi Tianqing’s strength isn’t any weaker than Fan Shaoyun’s,” Liu Qingyang said, his face full of shock.

Chi Huang said in astonishment, “Pavilion Master, it seems that Yi Tianqing also possesses an incredibly powerful body, otherwise, how could he possibly stand against Fan Shaoyun with his strength?”

Feng Wuchen’s face also showed some surprise; he hadn’t expected Yi Tianqing to have such formidable strength.

“No, that’s not right, Yi Tianqing has just stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm, his realm has not been solidified; he absolutely wouldn’t have such power. Fan Shaoyun’s full-force attack is comparable to the strength of the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer, the strength gap is too large,” Feng Wuchen frowned and muttered to himself.

Frowning slightly, Feng Wuchen’s gaze was fixed on Yi Tianqing.

“Hm? This power is…” Feng Wuchen, carefully observing, suddenly caught a hint and exclaimed in surprise, “So that’s it, Fan Shaoyun’s power was redirected by him, no wonder he could block Fan Shaoyun’s power!”

Upon closer observation, Feng Wuchen found that the power of Fan Shaoyun was dispersed inside Yi Tianqing’s body, and at the very first moment, Yi Tianqing had transferred Fan Shaoyun’s power to the arena, which caused its instantaneous destruction.

“Redirected?” Liu Qingyang was slightly startled.

There was still a trace of Fan Shaoyun’s residual power left in Yi Tianqing’s body. “Such powerful martial skills, he instantly transferred all of the opponent’s power,” exclaimed Bei Dou Yan in amazement, having also noticed the clues.

“Even so, Yi Tianqing is likely to have difficulty defeating Fan Shaoyun,” said Nangong Zhan solemnly.

“This battle is sure to be spectacular,” said Feng Wuchen with a slight smile, actually feeling quite anticipative inside.

Not just Feng Wuchen and the others, but the powerhouses of the large forces had also figured it out by now and could sense the residual power of Fan Shaoyun being transmitted from Yi Tianqing’s body.

Bearing the title of the young master of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa and one of the top prodigies of the heavenly domain, Yi Tianqing naturally had a few tricks up his sleeve.

“Such immense power, and yet being instantly transferred by Yi Tianqing, is no simple feat, truly not simple at all,” the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect nodded in repeated admiration.

“It seems that in these two years, Yi Tianqing has cultivated some kind of powerful martial skill,” the Bai Family Head similarly marveled.

Bai Mie let out a light sigh, a bitter smile on his face, “I thought we could defeat this guy this time, seems like there’s no hope, huh.”

The shock of the countless cultivators had by now totally turned into a boil, and those supporting Yi Tianqing were even more excited, shouting continuously with their faces flushed red.

“Boom!”

In his shock, Fan Shaoyun was blasted away by a palm from Yi Tianqing that exploded with a resounding boom, a terrifying force sending the still-shocked Fan Shaoyun flying.

Feeling a severe pain in his chest, Fan Shaoyun awoke from his shock, but fortunately, with his strong cultivation, Yi Tianqing’s palm hadn’t injured him.

“Redirecting my power, Yi Tianqing, you think this strength is enough to defeat me?” Fan Shaoyun asked, his eyebrows slightly knit, his cold gaze fixed on Yi Tianqing.

“Isn’t it enough?” Yi Tianqing answered indifferently.

“Boom!”

With those words, Yi Tianqing suddenly stepped into the void, and with a strong booming sound, he charged at Fan Shaoyun with a fearsomely fast speed.

“Hmph!” Fan Shaoyun let out a fierce cold snort, charging out without showing any sign of weakness.

Even after knowing Yi Tianqing had trained in a martial skill that could transfer power, Fan Shaoyun was not the least bit afraid.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The fierce battle carried from the collapsed arena to the void. Terrifying ripples of energy spread out in succession, violently shaking the void. The dazzling energy light was like raging waves spreading out wave after wave.

Yi Tianqing’s strength indeed was less than Fan Shaoyun’s, but Yi Tianqing, by relying on his martial skill that could transfer power, was able to fight on par with Fan Shaoyun.

Their speeds were extremely fast, and the strong onlookers were all moving their eyes rapidly to keep up with their movements.

“Gurgle…”

The extremely terrifying ripples of energy swept across, causing countless cultivators to swallow their saliva in fear, their faces pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

The whole place was silent, everyone’s eyes unblinkingly watching the void, a spectacular and intense battle like this was not commonly seen.

“Profound Grade high-level martial skill! Luoyue Phantom Slash!”

“Profound Grade high-level martial skill! Overturning Seas Frenzy!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The brutal close combat soon evolved into martial skill clashes. Powerful martial skills collided head-on, shaking heaven and earth, the destructive forces rampaging through the void, scaring countless cultivators out of their wits.

“Earth Rank low-level martial skill! Death Blood Blade!”

“Earth Rank beginner martial technique! Nine-Chi Sky Transformation Palm!”

The powerful martial techniques were endless, each one more formidable than the last, and the fierce head-on clashes had both combatants exerting their full power.

The horrifying energy, like thunderclaps by everyone’s ears, made people’s eardrums throb with pain.

“Their strength is too terrifying! With their talent, in a few years, who knows if they could surpass the Heavenly Moon Sect Hierarch and the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa Head!”

“The battle for the number one spot on the Tianyuan Realm Talent Ranking has probably deterred anyone from contending with them!”

“The fight for first place on the Talent Ranking is between Yi Tianqing and Fan Shaoyun!”

The battle for first place on the Talent Ranking was incredibly fierce.

The horrific strength displayed by the two made all other talents present pale in comparison.

“Dan Emperor, who do you think will win?” Bei Dou Yan asked, unaware if Yi Tianqing had any more powerful trump cards up his sleeve or if he could be certain Fan Shaoyun would come out victorious.

Looking at the fierce battle in the sky, Feng Wuchen calmly said, “Fan Shaoyun is stronger than Yi Tianqing. Yi Tianqing won’t last in a war of attrition. The martial techniques that shift power consume a lot of True Yuan. Yi Tianqing likely has no chance of winning, unless he can severely injure Fan Shaoyun in one strike.”

“Teacher, that’s almost impossible, right?” Dong Zhantian said.

“It’s hard to say, Yi Tianqing should be very clear about his own situation, but he still appears calm and unhurried, implying he has a certain confidence,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

What was it that gave Yi Tianqing such confidence?

“Yi Tianqing, you have indeed made significant advances in strength over the past two years. Do you have any more powerful skills to show? If not, the first place on the Talent Ranking will be mine!” Amidst the intense battle, Fan Shaoyun coldly asked, both of their True Yuan significantly depleted from the fierce fight and both having sustained various degrees of injury.

The fierce battle had reached a white-hot stage, a crucial moment.

As he spoke, Fan Shaoyun had already brought out a high-grade Spiritual Artifact, his aura instantly skyrocketing, his overwhelming presence terrifying to behold.

In Fan Shaoyun’s hand appeared a long sword, emitting a faint golden light, with the surging Sword Intent blasting into the heavens.

Fan Shaoyun was ready to use his killing move.

“Buzzing!”

An extremely terrifying power burst forth from Fan Shaoyun’s body, an unprecedented horrifying force. Dazzling golden light, brilliant and blinding, like a treasure appearing in the world, made it impossible for people to keep their eyes open.

“Second Layer forging!”

“Young Master Fan’s Slaughter Sword is actually Second Layer forged!”

“It’s actually Second Layer forged, no wonder Young Master Fan is so confident!”

Seeing the long sword in Fan Shaoyun’s hand, someone suddenly exclaimed in shock, utterly astonished.

All the major powerhouses were extremely shaken.

“Brother Feng, did you see? Fan Shaoyun’s sword is also Second Layer forged!” Liu Qingyang cried out in surprise, his eyes widening.

“Indeed, it’s Second Layer forged.” Feng Wuchen nodded, also feeling somewhat surprised.

“Fan Shaoyun’s sword technique must also be quite terrifying!” Dong Zhantian spoke gravely.

While everyone was shocked, they were also very puzzled.

Where did a Forging Master in the Tianyuan Realm come from? Which Forging Master helped Fan Shaoyun forge his sword?

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa finally became uneasy, his expression slightly moved.

Yi Tianqing’s face was extremely solemn, his brows tightly furrowed. The fact that Fan Shaoyun possessed a Second Layer forged Spiritual Artifact was beyond his expectations.

A Second Layer forging could significantly boost a Spiritual Artifact’s combat power on top of its original foundation.

“Shadow-chasing Sword technique! Soul Chasing Deadly Slash!”

Without any hesitation, Fan Shaoyun bellowed, gripping the long sword and sweeping it horizontally. A massive golden sword light, tens of feet wide and shaped like a crescent moon, tore through the air, bringing with it a piercing sonic boom and an overpowering momentum.

“Earth Rank beginner sword technique! Indeed, the power is terrifying!” Dong Zhantian’s eyes flashed with wariness.

“Fan Shaoyun is also a sword Dao genius, with a very high understanding of the Sword Dao,” Bei Dou Yan said solemnly.

“Indeed, he’s not inferior to Qingyang,” Feng Wuchen acknowledged without denial.

“Snap!”

Yi Tianqing didn’t think too long; clapping his hands together, a crisp snapping sound rang out as he mobilized all his power, bursting with dazzling blue light.

“Profound Grade medium martial technique! Divine Martial Transformation!”

“Buzzing!”

With a fierce shout from Yi Tianqing, at the next moment, his aura suddenly soared at a terrifying pace, the horrifying force shaking the void, instantly breaking through the first layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

“What?” Sensing Yi Tianqing’s aura skyrocketing, Fan Shaoyun’s expression changed dramatically.

Feeling this terrifying aura, Fan Shaoyun spoke in disbelief, “He’s actually broken through to the second layer of the Heavenly Human Realm! Where did Yi Tianqing acquire such a domineering martial technique?”

“Hiss…”

The spectating crowd gasped in horror, their eyes bulging out in sheer shock.

“Power-increasing martial technique!” Apart from the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa, powerhouses from other factions cried out in astonishment.

“The second layer of the Tianyuan Realm!” The exclamations persisted among the crowd.

The high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Moon Sect became very serious, their expressions heavy; they had not expected Yi Tianqing to hold back such a powerful trump card!
