The punch sounded like thunder, carrying an overwhelming and furious strength. Ye Luo looked at this guy, a cold sneer spreading across his lips. He put away his soft sword and threw a punch with equal ferocity. The power from the three major pulse channels and the True Qi from his Dantian surged out all at once, the strength within his body soaring like floodwaters bursting through a dam.
The two terrifyingly powerful forces collided head-on in the ultimate contest of strength. This time, Ye Luo didnât suffer a loss like before; the strength emanating from his fist completely overwhelmed the wild power unleashed after the Bear Kingâs blood boiled.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosive sounds rang out as the air around the two menâs fists was blown apart, the invisible force expanding outwards, creating an aura that spread from their fists.
The Bear Kingâs expression changed instantly, his pupils showing a hint of shock. Unable to hold his ground, he staggered back repeatedly. His massive fists trembled as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
In this clash of their strongest powers, the Bear King was thoroughly crushed by Ye Luo, gaining no advantage whatsoever.
Whoosh!
Just then, from the darkness, a shadow burst forth, a gleam of cold light shining brightly, aiming straight for Ye Luoâs abdomen. However, moving with the steps of Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, he vanished from sight in an instant.
Even so, the fierce energy from the attackerâs cold gleam managed to cut a slit in Ye Luoâs clothes.
The assailant was naturally the skinny Lightning Monkey, holding a chillingly bright dagger, his eyes gleaming sharply. He moved with astonishing speed, closing in on Ye Luo once again.
Wielding the short dagger, he relentlessly targeted Ye Luoâs vital points, blending into the night like a shadow.
Ye Luoâs body swayed continuously. Although he had just begun to grasp the secrets of Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, his newly gained speed was terrifying. Despite the Lightning Monkeyâs agility, he struggled to get close to Ye Luo, let alone injure him.
Swish!
The next second, Ye Luo swung his right hand, brandishing his soft sword straight at the Lightning Monkey. The latterâs face changed as he quickly raised his dagger to block the blow, but his body was still sent stumbling backward several steps.
Meanwhile, the man in black had silently made his way here, his gaze fixed on Ling Qingya as he lunged straight at her.
Whoosh!
However, a Silver Needle burst forward in the night, aimed at the man in black. His face changed, and with a quick sway of his body, he dodged the Silver Needle.
By that time, Ye Luoâs eyes were already trained on the man in black; his Clairvoyant Eye had detected the otherâs presence long ago.
Ling Qingya was also startled, quickly dodging to one side upon seeing the man in black.
"Kid, youâre quite observant," the man in black said in a chilling voice, charging at Ling Qingya once again.
"Seeking death!"
Watching the man target Ling Qingya again, anger flashed across Ye Luoâs face as he burst forth, directing all his strength into a thrust of his sword.
A sword that shattered the void, the surrounding currents of air twisted apart, and a dazzling sword light shot out toward the man in black.
The man in black dodged Ye Luoâs fearsome slash with a strange twist of his body and fired a dagger from his hand. With a sweep of his soft sword, Ye Luo sent the dagger flying, while the man in black sent a palm strike toward Ye Luo.
Ye Luo, too, unleashed a punch, and fists and palms collided, both figures retreating. The enemy had stepped into the Innate Peak Stage, with an attack power slightly stronger than both Lightning Monkey and the Berserk Bear.
"Lightning Monkey, Berserk Bear, attack together, kill him," the man in black directly ordered. At this moment, both Lightning Monkey and Berserk Bear charged again.
The Berserk Bearâs entire bodyâs blood boiled, radiating the ferocity of a wild beast, eyes filled with the gleam of a predator, and launched yet another punch that pushed its limits.
As for Lightning Monkey, he attacked Ye Luo like a shadow, while the man in black also pressed forward, targeting Ye Luo with deadly strikes.
The trio attacked simultaneously, coordinating with each other, instantly plunging Ye Luo into extreme danger. From a distance, Ling Qingyaâs face was full of worry, while Qin Tianming wore a cold smirk.
Ye Luo remained calm, his gaze fixed on the Berserk Bear. His pupils narrowed to focus on the attack, causing the opponentâs punch to hesitate briefly, his expression becoming somewhat dazed.
Whoosh!
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Luo threw a punch straight at the opponentâs chest, unleashing eighty percent of his power and sending the Berserk Bear flying, crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up blood.
Meanwhile, Lightning Monkeyâs dagger had reached Ye Luoâs abdomen, a fraction of a second away from piercing him, but a light ring sounded, and the dagger was blocked by the Gold Silk Soft Armor Ye Luo wore.
Ye Luo swung his sword, sending Lightning Monkey flying.
Pff!
After seriously injuring two opponents, the man in blackâs palm struck Ye Luoâs back squarely, causing him to spit out blood.
But he twisted his body, suppressing the pain, grabbed the hand that had struck him, and his soft sword flicked out like a silver snake, aiming straight for the manâs chest.
The man in blackâs complexion changed, and he twisted forcefully as Ye Luoâs sword grazed his abdomen, leaving a deep mark. Following this, his left hand also launched an attack, separating them, as they locked eye contact.
"Damn it, how can this guy be so strong?" Qin Tianming said, looking at Ye Luo still seemingly unharmed, his expression turning ugly.
"Hei Sha, if you donât take action, our cooperation ends here if this kid is not dealt with today."
Qin Tianmingâs face darkened, speaking sharply.
All of a sudden, the entire factory filled with a cold and sinister aura, as a figure in a black robe emerged, his face unclear, but emitting waves of chilling energy that made one very uncomfortable.
Ye Luoâs eyes narrowed at the sight, revealing a guarded expression.
"Brother Qin, why so angry? Since this boy has come here today, he doesnât have a chance to leave again," said the man in the black robe with a sinister voice.
"Then quickly finish him off," Qin Tianming said, growing impatient.
"Sometimes itâs not necessary to deal with a person with your own hands," the man in the black robe said, waving his hand.
Immediately, the man in black disappeared from the spot, and a hissing sound, like leaking gas, echoed throughout the factory; a pungent and awful gas filled the air all at once.
"Not good, itâs poison gas, Qing Ya, cover your nose and mouth," Ye Luoâs expression changed as he urgently instructed. Ling Qingya quickly covered her nose and mouth, but her complexion was already becoming sickly, and consciousness fading.
