In a split second, Nangong Sheng's fist approached Zhang Tie like a mountain. On the way, his fist turned into dense fist shadows like blooming flowers. With a roar of thunder, Zhang Tie's fist intent combined with the power of the heavens and the earth, making it more powerful. Nangong Sheng's battle qi surged while the head of Immortal Fist Position Position's fist was as unstoppable as a bolt of thunder. Zhang Tie launched a counterattack. In the rumbling impact wave, Zhang Tie sealed the greater part of the fist marks. However, the gap between their cultivation bases in fist skills was further widened at this moment …
There was no first place in literature; there was no second place in martial arts. Even if there was only a slight gap between two earth knights, the result would be huge.
In the blink of an eye, the momentum of Nangong Sheng's Thunder-like Immortal Fist had broken the dam and poured onto Zhang Tie's body like a flood that shot out of an ant hole in the dam.
In the blink of an eye, the bit fist intent that leaked out of Zhang Tie's blockade turned into tens of thousands of galloping horses and punched Zhang Tie's body for hundreds of times …
In the last 10-odd punches, Zhang Tie's protective battle qi was broken once again. As a result, he was smashed into the valley by Nangong Sheng like a meteor. As a result, Zhang Tie landed on the ground, causing a huge pit as deep as a 10-m meteorite. All the rocks within 50 m were shattered into pieces...
The two of them had been fighting for more than four hours.
3 hours ago, namely 1 hour after the fight, Nangong Sheng's advantage in fist skill finally became clear. At that moment, his iron fist broke through Zhang Tie's defense for the first time and struck onto Zhang Tie's body, causing a huge pit on the ground.
It was the 11th time that Zhang Tie had been struck down by Nangong Sheng.
This time, Zhang Tie's protective battle qi was broken at once. Closely after that, the thunder-like immortal fist directly hit onto his body. When Zhang Tie fell down, his body spurted out blood …
After a few hours of battle, this valley had been in a mess. If you looked carefully, you could see traces like being hit by meteorites on the ground and the cliffs on both sides of the valley. Those traces were all left by Zhang Tie.
Was it over?
At the sight of this scene, the knights in the sky were all confused.
In the past 4 hours, Nangong Sheng's attainments in punching skill once again made the others recognize the master of Yanzhou Immortal Fist School. It was the first time for many people to see how Nangong Sheng's punching skill reached the realm of connecting with the universe — — Nangong Sheng's punching skill could match with the power of the universe. The moment Nangong Sheng punched out, the wind and rain around the valley and the sky would break out along with thunders. The echoes of thunders in the air and the earth could resonate with his punching skill, increasing the power of his punching skill.
What was more amazing was Cui Li the Fire Dragon Hermit. Cui Li's attainments in punching skill were not well-known. However, at the sight of Cui Li's punching skill, everybody became dumbfounded. If not Nangong Sheng's punching skill had reached the realm of connecting with the universe, Fire Dragon Hermit would definitely be the winner of this duel; instead of Nangong Sheng. Given his punching skill, Fire Dragon Hermit could definitely be called a master in punching skill.
What impressed them more was Fire Dragon Hermit's protective battle qi. Fire Dragon Hermit's protective battle qi was too powerful. If it was a common earth knight, his protective battle qi might have been broken 2 hours ago facing Nangong Sheng's thunder-like immortal punches. However, Fire Dragon Hermit's protective battle qi lasted almost two times longer than that of the public.
However, no matter how powerful Fire Dragon Hermit's protective battle qi was, it was always in defense. The gap between their attainments in punching skill determined that Fire Dragon Hermit would be in a disadvantageous position in the process of combat. His protective battle qi could only be used passively. No matter how big the gap was, even if it was only a bit, it could still determine the winner through numerous collisions.
What a pity!
Elder Muyu and Zhu Elder on his side exchanged a glance with each other as they both felt pitiful inside.
"Fire Dragon Hermit is still a bit young and vigorous. If he didn't agree to compete with Nangong Sheng in punching skill, Nangong Sheng could never defeat him. Even Fire Dragon Hermit's attainments in punching skill have reached such a high level, I could imagine his attainments in spear skill..." Elder Zhu told Elder Muyu in a secret way.
"Perhaps, after experiencing this setback, Fire Dragon Hermit could go further in the future. It's not a big problem whether Iron-Dragon Sect is open or not. It's just a name. It won't influence Fire Dragon Hermit to enroll his apprentices. Although Fire Dragon Hermit was defeated, he was still honorable. Additionally, no matter what, Fire Dragon Hermit is the owner of Fire Dragon Bounty Territory. I'm afraid that Nangong Sheng is worried that Fire Dragon Hermit would come for him one day..."
"The realm of integrating with the universe is really unimaginable. It's said that as long as you promote to a heavenly knight, you could further reach the realm of integrating with the universe and form a preliminary strength of realm. By then, your power would be overwhelming. Zhao Yuan the alchemist demon who ranks first on the wanted list of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country killed so many knight-level powerhouses such as the deputy head of Taiyi Fantasy Sect and the young master of Heavens Holding Pavilion in Mojiang City, Songzhou Province with the strength of realm of his earth furnace..."
"This time, we've really underestimated Nangong Sheng. None of those who could promote to an earth knight is mediocre. I wonder whether Nangong Sheng could make further progress in the future..."
"Hoho, Elder Muyu, you're worrying too much. It took Nangong Sheng over 70 years to promote to an earth knight. Based on his speed, it would take him at least 200 years to promote to a heavenly knight. As the holy war is coming, nobody could predict what would happen in 200 years. Even earth knights have to consider whether they could survive this holy war or not..."
"Elder Zhu, you're right..."
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two elders became silent. They then moved their eyes onto Zhang Tie who had been struck down the valley by Nangong Sheng once again...
In the huge pit, Zhang Tie was lying at the bottom of the pit with his face facing the sky. The rainwater had already submerged the greater part of Fire Dragon Hermit's body.
Just now, the two elders had realized that Zhang Tie had been severely injured by Nangong Sheng. However, it was not fatal. If a black iron knight sustained so many strikes from an earth knight, he might be killed; however, an earth knight would never be so fragile...
Hovering in the air, Nangong Sheng watched Zhang Tie whose body was half submerged in rainwater. He didn't chase after Zhang Tie. Because it was a competition; instead of a desperate fight, they only needed to determine who was the winner. If Nangong Sheng really chased after Zhang Tie and continued to attack Zhang Tie, the onlookers might not just stand aside. If Zhang Tie tore up the agreement between them on fist skills, it was hard to say who would be the winner. Because only Nangong Sheng knew how difficult this battle was for him.
Nangong Sheng clearly sensed that Zhang Tie who had been struck down the ground had not lost his battle strength. Because Zhang Tie had not released the earth virtual image of "Fire Dragon Sutra" until now.
Even Zhang Tie's fist skill could rival Nangong Sheng's, not to mention the spear skill of "Fire Dragon Sutra". Spear skill and fist skill belonged to the same family. Spear skill was the extension of one's arm. Both of them had the same way of exerting force and erupting force. Many famous masters of spear skill and fist skill in Taixia Country cultivated both spear skill and fist skill. Those who were good at spear skill would definitely have good fist skill; those who were good at fist skill would also have a high level of spear skill. Even the disciples of Immortal Fist Position Sect would experience the exerting force and exerting force by shaking their spears when they were young. Nangong Sheng was good at spear skill; however, he didn't cultivate both at the same time; instead, he just focused on fist skill. Given Zhang Tie's performance, Nangong Sheng knew that Zhang Tie was definitely a powerhouse who cultivated both spear skill and fist skill...
In the eyes of others, Nangong Sheng was the winner of this duel; however, Nangong Sheng didn't look relaxed and arrogant at all; instead, he looked extremely solemn. Zhang Tie's attainments in fist skill and the ferocity and fearlessness of mutated beasts deeply shocked Nangong Sheng. Watching those huge pits and collapsed cliffs in the valley, Nangong Sheng realized that Zhang Tie might have long released his virtual image. However, Zhang Tie didn't risk his life; instead, he was still competing with Nangong Sheng in fist skill. It indicated that Zhang Tie's stamina and tenacity were definitely greater than that of Nangong Sheng. Such a terrifying opponent...
At this moment, Nangong Sheng had already regretted that he had promised Taiyi Fantasy Sect to come to Iron-Dragon Sect today. After offending such a powerful enemy, nobody would feel relaxed at all. Additionally, even if Nangong Sheng won this duel by luck, he would have endless troubles in the future. However, now that it had come to this, Nangong Sheng could only grit his teeth and bear it.
"Fire Dragon Hermit, do you admit your defeat in this fist competition..." Nangong Sheng opened his mouth while his voice reverberated in the sky while looking at the ground.
As the voice echoed, two huge airships appeared in the distance almost at the same time and flew towards them …
...
Lying on the ground, Zhang Tie was wet all over. Opening his hands, he watched the cloudy sky above the valley and allowed the icy raindrops to fall onto his face and eyes...
He had not felt the pain and the feeling of being torn apart for a long time. It was a bit fresh. Due to the heavy rain, the rainwater flowed down from all directions of the huge pit. Only after a short while, the rainwater had converged at the bottom of the huge pit. As a result, Zhang Tie floated in the water.
Due to the great power of this body, Zhang Tie's wound was not as severe as imagined by others. Such a wound could barely influence his battle strength. In the pain and the icy coldness, Zhang Tie's consciousness and soul were unprecedentedly clear and tranquil. Since he started the duel with Nangong Sheng, Nangong Sheng's punches and each time they collided with each other were replaying in Zhang Tie's mind over and over again as fast as a lightning bolt...
With rumbling thunders in the gloomy sky, Zhang Tie watched the rolling dark clouds, the faintly flashing lightning bolts in the clouds and the sun in the distance without blinking his eyes as if he was in meditation...
The ultimate force of the heavens was the sun. The sun was in the sky, nurturing all the living beings and burning the void for hundreds of millions of years. When the heavens released its killing intent, the stars would be moved!
The ultimate force of the earth was the lightning bolt. When the lightning bolt broke out, the mountains would rock and all the living beings would be scared. Nothing could stop it. When the earth released its killing intent, dragons and snakes would rise from the land!
Where was the ultimate force of humans? Where was it?
Zhang Tie uttered a furious roar inside...
A lightning bolt flashed across the sky. In a split second, Zhang Tie faintly saw some bizarre images in his mind …
Lightning bolts flashed in the sky while magma and volcanoes appeared under his feet. In the sky, a 60-mile-long far-ancient fierce beast was flying across the sky like a huge dragon. As it flapped its wings, it would arouse wind and clouds, lightning bolts and thunders. On the ground, a 10,000 m high giant roared and stomped his feet, cracking the earth, cutting off the river and causing magma to surge out of the ground like a river...
Natural disasters and earthly disasters caused great losses to all the living beings...
In such a perilous situation, various humans were kneeling down and worshiping the ferocious beast, offering sacrifices and praying for the mercy of the ferocious beast. On the other side of the earth, on the top of the quivering mountains, there were numerous Hua warriors in simple animal skins barefooted and looking up at the ferocious beast in the sky and the earth. In front of such a ferocious beast, these warriors were as small as ants. However, they still raised their heads and watched the deity-like ferocious beast fearlessly …
There were numerous Hua tribes on the land behind these Hua warriors...
Among those warriors, a white-haired and bearded brave man cut open his own body and peeled off the skin on his abdomen before covering it with a quaint stone pot. Closely after that, he clenched his fists and started to beat the drum.
The drum sounds and the roars of the Hua warriors shook the sky and the earth.
"Fight..." The old man who beat the drum pointed at the fierce beast which brought endless disasters to humans by one finger.
All the Hua warriors in simple animal skins roared as they clenched their fists and rushed into the sky...
The brutal battle started...
Before many Hua warriors approached the fierce beast, they had been torn apart by the lightning bolts, storms and magma and turned into dust and bloody foam. However, even at the last moment, each Hua warrior still clenched his fists tightly. In the same battle, some Hua warriors constantly gave off bizarre light while battle qi smokes and tornadoes rushed into the sky...
The battle in the frontline lasted for many years. In the rear tribes, young Hua teenagers clenched their fists which were stained with the blood of wild beasts and raised them high above their heads in the ceremony of becoming warriors. Closely after that, they clenched their fists and rushed towards the territory where their fathers and brothers fought to the death by following the footprints of their forebears...
One day, on the battlefield between humans and fierce beasts, the sky suddenly turned dark while a Hua teenager in the air suddenly gave out brilliant light. In the brilliant light, the entire world and the fierce beasts suddenly became still. Closely after that, a fist tore through the sky like a long rainbow and a hot sun. In a split second, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. As a result, the sky turned as white as night while stars loomed in the clear sky. At the same time, the land under his feet rolled while rivers dried up and grasses withered. All the fierce beasts in the world quivered and perished in a split second due to fear...
It seemed that the fist came from the ancient times. The moment it appeared, it not only wiped out all the fierce beasts in the world, but also broke a barrier in Zhang Tie's consciousness and body. In a split second, numerous lightning bolts boomed in Zhang Tie's mind...
Right then, Zhang Tie heard Nangong Sheng's voice from the sky.
"Fire Dragon Hermit, do you admit defeat in this fist competition..."
This voice was very close to Zhang Tie's ears; however, it also seemed far away like coming from the horizon...
After hearing this voice, Zhang Tie saw two airboats flying towards here from afar and the enchanting figure of Bai Suxian flying towards him from one of the airboats...
...
— — Fist carries one's killing intent!
When one carries one's killing intent, the world turns upside down!
Reversal refers to movement. Reversal refers to yin and yang, birth and death, victory and defeat.
The spirit of fist is the heart of a brave warrior!
The ultimate strength lies in one's heart!
Zhang Tie was enlightened as his battle qi surged in a split second...
...
"Ahh, isn't my darling Cui going to hold the opening ceremony in Xuantian City? What did you do to my darling Cui?" Bai Suxian's voice had reached them before she arrived at Zhang Tie's place.
Everybody at present, including Nangong Sheng, was watching Bai Suxian and the snow-white airboat behind her with a dumbfounded look. Those sharp-eyed ones had already identified the symbol of Lord Guangnan's Mansion on the airboat.
Lord Guangnan's Mansion was a top clan in Taixia Country.
When they were guessing the background of this airboat, Bai Suxian hurriedly got off the airboat in a princess' costume. Her tender "my darling Cui" shocked all the knights and elders as they exchanged glances with each other...
Especially Nangong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect, whose face turned black at this moment.
'This is Lord Guangnan's Mansion, which is one level higher than the Military Region in Taixia Country. A female knight in the princess' costume of Taixia Country got off the airboat of Lord Guangnan's Mansion and called Cui LI "my darling Cui". What's the relationship between them? What's the relationship between Cui LI and Lord Guangnan's Mansion? '
However, before Nangong Sheng recovered his composure, another airboat had arrived here from afar. The moment the door of the airboat was opened, over 10 knights had flown off the airboat.
"Hahaha, younger brother Cui, I know that Iron-Dragon Sect is going to open its gate today. This elder brother is here to congratulate you. Due to strict checks on the way, Tianlu Palace was delayed a bit. Hopefully, younger brother Cui, don't blame us for that!"
The voice of Zhang Anguo, the grand elder of Tianlu Palace drifted into Nangong Sheng's ears.
After hearing this voice, Nangong Sheng instantly felt that his throat became dry as his neck became stiff. The two elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect among the onlookers looked as if they were going to cry at any moment.
After smashing Fire Dragon Hermit's place, it seemed that Immortal Fist Position Sect had offended Lord Guangnan and Tianlu Palace at the same time besides Cui LI. Immortal Fist Position Sect only had 3 knights at most; however, it could offend two major forces in Taixia Country at the same time. That was too eye-catching...
To be honest, Nangong Sheng wished that he was the one lying in the valley...
...
After arriving here, Bai Suxian caught sight of Cui LI who was lying at the bottom of the pit.
As she didn't see the specific process of the battle between Zhang Tie and Nangong Sheng, when the airboat was far away from here, Bai Suxian had already caught sight of Zhang Tie's battle qi tornado. She knew that Zhang Tie was fighting here. Therefore, she hurriedly came over here. When she saw Zhang Tie lying still in the huge pit as if he was dead, Bai Suxian thought that something bad had happened to Zhang Tie. Therefore, she shrieked and intended to fly down the valley.
However, a figure suddenly appeared on Bai Suxian's side. Closely after that, he caught Bai Suxian's wrist and started to retreat rapidly...
"What are you doing?" Bai Suxian slapped towards the chest of the old man who caught her wrist out of fury.
After receiving Bai Suxian's palm strike, the old man remained still as if Bai Suxian had just patted dust off his body. However, when the old man watched Zhang Tie who was lying in the huge pit, his eyes flickered with a bit fear as he said, "Miss, don't approach him, it's dangerous …"
"This is Cui Lang. I don't know whether he's alive or not. I want to go over there to see him!" Bai Suxian wanted to get rid of her wrist out of fury; however, it was useless. The old man directly pulled her back. "That human qi..."
Zhang Anguo, the grand elder of Tianlu Palace also flew over here. Closely after that, he seemed to sense something as he slightly changed his face...
At this moment, all the earth knights at present felt an earth-shaking qi rushing into the sky like a ferocious prehistoric beast in the valley...
As this qi rushed into the sky, in a split second, within 500 miles, the sky was covered with dense dark clouds like a rolling tide. In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered and the sun was covered in darkness within 500 miles of Fire Dragon Prefecture, including Xuantian City in the distance. Among the dense clouds, a terrifying dark-red luster could be seen. Lightning bolts were flashing in the clouds and thunders could be heard. Everyone in Xuantian City under the thunderclouds was terrified as they thought that the doomsday was coming …
Those knights who had experienced the scene of Nangong Sheng's interaction with the heavens just now widely opened their mouths at the sight of this heavenly change which was dozens of times more magnificent than that of Nangong Sheng's interaction with the heavens. 'Is... is this also the realm of interaction with the heavens...'
Those knights still couldn't believe it. Many of them didn't even know what was happening.
Nangong Sheng's interaction with the heavens could only affect the sky above the valley which covered dozens of square miles; however, the current situation was like a catastrophe...
At the sight of this scene, Nangong Sheng's face turned as pale as paper as he started to quiver all over...
All of a sudden, the entire sky turned dark once again as the earth started to quiver under everyone's feet. At this moment, a bloody lightning bolt as thick as several meters suddenly broke through the clouds and shone onto Zhang Tie's body.
The water in the huge pit evaporated in a split second. Zhang Tie was safe and sound in the bloody lightning bolt; instead, he floated in the lightning bolt weirdly like a thunder god descending to the mortal world. At the same time, he made a primitive fist mark in the lightning bolt. The moment the fist mark came into being, tens of thousands of lightning bolts had struck the earth from the clouds, presenting a scene that could rarely be seen at ordinary times.
"Since the ancient times, who could penetrate the heavens and the earth with a punch? From now on, who could defeat me with a punch? The most powerful one is the mind. My mind is the universal law. My killing intent is always punished by the heavens and the earth... "Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he looked up at the sky. At the same time, tens of thousands of lightning bolts struck onto Zhang Tie's body as if they were responding to him...
Facing the great pressure of tens of thousands of lightning bolts, all the knights in the surroundings of the valley had to retreat 1 mile away. Only Nangong Sheng with a pale face was watching Zhang Tie flying in the lightning bolts like a bird in a storm. Closely after that, Zhang Tie punched towards him from hundreds of meters away...
Before Zhang Tie's punch approached Nangong Sheng, a bloody lightning bolt had turned into a ball-shaped lightning bolt and struck onto Nangong Sheng's body forcefully...
