Chapter 464: Chapter 253: Shock

Li Chuyang’s charge was like a landslide, a meteor crashing to earth. The roar was deafening. Even before he arrived, the turbulent gale of his approach made the arena ring.

He was extremely conceited and arrogant. Perhaps recalling how Xu Yang had fought him to a draw without using Gang Qi, he rapidly retracted his Silver Gang Qi, intending to crash into Xu Yang with nothing but his physical body.

"How arrogant!"

Many were stunned by Li Chuyang’s display. He was trying to defeat Xu Yang in his strongest domain by using his own methods against him.

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes. His Unmoving Bright King Body had already reached Great Success, and he had begun using the Bright King Image for his Imagery Body Refining. If he wished, he could kill Li Chuyang in an instant.

He suppressed the urge to shatter Li Chuyang with his charge. After holding back most of his strength, he too took a great stride forward. His figure vanished, his body tearing through the air like a cannonball as he rocketed toward Li Chuyang.

Just like Li Chuyang, he used no Gang Qi, charging with only his physical body.

"It seems Xu Yang is just as arrogant. He’s not using his Gang Qi either."

Everyone looked on with strange expressions. They hadn’t expected Xu Yang to be unwilling to take advantage of Li Chuyang, choosing to meet his charge with one of his own.

"You dare!" Li Chuyang roared, his gaze terrifying.

The two were like a pair of meteors crashing into each other. Neither used Gang Qi, nor any martial techniques—it was just a simple, brutal collision.

This form of combat was direct. It was a pure test of whose body was stronger, whose Martial Dao foundation was deeper. There was no room for clever tricks.

"BANG!"

Two bodies of flesh and blood collided, yet the sound was a clang of striking metal. White ripples spread through the air, and the arena trembled from the shock.

"Is this Minor Body Refining? How terrifying!"

"As expected of a body formidable enough to withstand a Half-Spirit Weapon."

Many were horrified, feeling as if the sonic boom would shatter their eardrums. The rolling shockwave threatened to blast them away. It was hard to imagine that a mere collision of bodies could create such a terrifying spectacle.

Li Chuyang stared at Xu Yang in shock. A pained expression crept onto his face, which was flushed beet-red.

He felt as if he hadn’t collided with a person, but with an unstoppable meteor from the heavens—anything in its path would be smashed to dust.

"Hmph!"

With a muffled groan of pain, his entire frame creaking, Li Chuyang was sent flying backward. He felt as if his internal organs were about to rupture. His blood surged like a raging river, completely beyond his control.

"What?"

"Li Chuyang was sent flying?"

Many people stared, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets in disbelief. They could only watch as a pained expression appeared on Li Chuyang’s face before he was sent flying by Xu Yang’s single blow.

Xu Yang, in contrast, looked calm and unruffled as he slowly drifted down from the air.

"Excellent, my boy!"

Elder Huoyun’s face was beaming. "Old Ghost Li," he shouted, "do you have anything left to say?"

Li Songhe looked surprised, but quickly recovered with a sneer. "Don’t be so hasty. This is just the beginning. He achieved Minor Body Refining first, so it’s no surprise his body is a bit stronger than Li Chuyang’s."

"Li Chuyang is arrogant, but he’s not an idiot. He won’t keep trying to match physical strength with him."

’This boy must be killed!’

Meanwhile, the killing intent in the hearts of Song Yushao and Song Shirong grew even stronger. To them, the more powerful Xu Yang became, the more urgent it was to eliminate him.

Once a genius like him broke through to the Celestial Essence Realm, he would soar like a dragon on the storm, and no one would be able to control him.

"Still think Xu Yang is bound to lose?" Sun Tao said with a laugh.

He had never doubted that Xu Yang would win against Li Chuyang.

Even back when they were Outer Disciples, Xu Yang’s strength had completely crushed Li Chuyang’s; it was just that Xu Yang was low-key and never showed it.

Qi Xuancheng and Zhang Hanzhou, who had been singing Li Chuyang’s praises earlier, were now silent. In fact, aside from him and Jiang Fan, almost everyone else was completely dumbstruck.

Lu Ren was utterly shocked. ’The gap between Xu Yang and me seems to be getting wider and wider.’

"How about that?" Xu Yang asked with a smile.

"I admit, I underestimated you. Your physical body is indeed powerful. Next, I’ll use my true strength," Li Chuyang said, landing at the edge of the arena with an incredibly grim expression.

He had been forced to use his Gang Qi to stop himself from being thrown out of the arena.

He had arrogantly sought to defeat Xu Yang in his strongest domain, only to be sent flying instead. His bones and tendons still screamed in pain. It felt like a slap in the face.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Xu Yang’s physical body was undeniably stronger than his. To argue otherwise would only make him a laughingstock.

All his previous arrogance, all the words he’d used to look down on Xu Yang, had now become a joke.

"Stop talking and start doing. Once you’ve settled your turbulent blood, hurry up and make your move. I’m growing old waiting over here," Xu Yang said with a smile.

At these words, everyone was once again dumbfounded.

Xu Yang was the first person to ever look down on Li Chuyang so blatantly, but he truly had the strength to back it up.

If he had pressed his attack, Li Chuyang would have already been knocked off the arena.

Jiang Fan laughed heartily. "It really takes Brother Xu to put this arrogant bastard in his place."

Although Jiang Fan had defeated Li Chuyang before, his victory hadn’t been decisive, so even in defeat, Li Chuyang had refused to concede.

Only Xu Yang’s display of calm, effortless dominance could leave Li Chuyang speechless.

"You..." Li Chuyang was seething with rage.

These were the kinds of things he usually said to others. Having them said to him was simply unbearable for someone so proud.

"You beat me in one exchange, and you really think that’s all I’ve got?"

Li Chuyang’s gaze was like lightning, his aura sharp and fierce. All his anger transformed into a stunning battle intent. A tide of Silver Gang Qi erupted from his body like a volcano, its sheer pressure making the arena floor sink as a gale-force wind kicked up.

His entire body radiated a silver light, and even his hair flowed with a silvery Gang Mang.
