"Seeking death!"
A furious shout from Pei Quan’an came from outside the tavern, then he rushed in at tremendous speed.
The Sea Gazing True Strength unfurled, Pei Quan’an seemed like a mad lion, using both fists and feet to launch a fierce attack on Zhao Ya.
For Pei Quan’an, that punch just now was a great humiliation.
After all, he had opened his meridian, though only recently so, it was not something a Fifth Realm could rival.
In Pei Quan’an’s view, the only reason he was knocked away was because the opponent lacked martial ethics and launched a sneak attack.
Especially in front of the newly accepted junior sister, how could he not be furious?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions sounded like firecrackers.
Although Pei Quan’an was eager to kill Zhao Ya swiftly and used lethal moves from the start.
Zhao Ya remained unfazed, not retreating a single step, instead throwing punches in response.
Moreover, after weathering this storm of attacks, Zhao Ya suddenly chuckled lightly.
"After all this time, it’s my turn now!"
With those words, Zhao Ya suddenly leaped into the air, completely ignoring the fists and feet coming at him.
Pei Quan’an’s eyes brightened, his Sea Gazing True Strength pushed to its peak, attempting a kill strike.
But when his punch finally hit Zhao Ya, he was shockingly surprised to find that his True Strength couldn’t penetrate, instead it bounced back.
It felt like hitting armor made of countless layers of tanned cowhide, extremely uncomfortable.
Horizontal Refining Technique?
How is it possible, this person is slender, doesn’t look like a martial artist specializing in Horizontal Refining Technique at all.
If so, how could he withstand my full-force blow?
Could he be wearing protective armor?
These thoughts flashed through Pei Quan’an’s mind.
At the same time, a soft chuckle came to his ear.
"Is this all your power?"
With these words, a fist shadow rapidly enlarged in Pei Quan’an’s vision.
The chilling fist wind blew Pei Quan’an’s hair and clothes erratically.
Pei Quan’an was shocked because he sensed the power of this punch.
If it hit, he would undoubtedly lose.
But it was too late to dodge now, he could only raise his hands, frantically channeling the remaining Sea Gazing True Strength in his dantian, barely blocking.
Boom!
Pei Quan’an felt as if he were hit head-on by a rampaging giant elephant, a massive force beyond resistance knocked him flying.
Not only that, the force was so great that fractures appeared in his arms; they weren’t broken but almost.
Pei Quan’an was deeply horrified.
Is this the power of a Fifth Realm warrior?
But before he could catch his breath, Zhao Ya charged again.
"Try taking another punch from me!"
This punch, Zhao Ya used all his strength, reaching perfection in both speed and power.
This was Zhao Ya’s strongest punch without using Breaking Realm abilities.
The fist targeted directly at Pei Quan’an’s face.
Fear finally appeared on Pei Quan’an’s face.
Because he felt an overwhelming threat of death.
Undoubtedly, this punch was aimed to kill.
But he had nowhere to retreat and couldn’t even muster a defense.
At this critical moment, a cold snort came from afar.
"How dare you, youngster!"
With these words, a figure dashed into the scene with ghostly speed, aiming a palm at Zhao Ya’s arm.
The palm wind was like towering waves, and before it even reached, Zhao Ya already felt immense pressure.
It was Sea Gazing True Strength.
And it was far more refined and powerful than the Sea Gazing True Strength used by Pei Quan’an.
Vaguely, Zhao Ya felt like he was in an endless ocean, drawn by an immense tidal force.
But facing this sudden strike, Zhao Ya showed no panic, instead, he coldly smiled.
"Finally willing to show yourself!"
Earlier, while fighting Pei Quan’an, Zhao Ya felt a gaze observing him from afar.
This gaze differed from others’ curiosity, filled with malice.
Zhao Ya deduced that this should be Pei Quan’an’s master.
So when he attempted to kill Pei Quan’an with a punch, Zhao Ya was already prepared.
At this moment, facing this overwhelmingly strange palm strike.
Zhao Ya quickly retreated.
But this person seemed unwilling to let Zhao Ya go, the palm wind clung on relentlessly.
But just then, a blade light suddenly exploded on the scene.
Whether inside the tavern or among the onlookers far away, everyone felt the blade, though far, seemed to cleave towards them, carrying terrifying killing intent.
Some weaker martial artists shivered, their faces turned pale instantly.
At the same time, Zhao Ya felt as if his blade was cutting through a stormy sea, experiencing strange pulling sensations from all angles, hindering its advance.
Yet Zhao Ya was unafraid, his blade vibrated rapidly, neutralizing the Sea Gazing True Strength’s erosion, slashing through the gaps between the palm wind.
But in the next moment, Zhao Ya felt his blade struck something extremely resilient, unable to penetrate.
Someone let out a slight exclamation.
Clearly, the one who delivered the palm didn’t expect Zhao Ya’s blade could actually break through his Sea Gazing True Strength.
But that was all.
With this level of blade technique, it couldn’t harm him, instead, it further aroused his killing intent.
