Chapter 349: Who Says Qi Refining Realm Can’t Defeat Half Saints?

In Yuanlong City, everyone in the square stared in shock at the two figures on the altar.

Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes.

What was happening on the altar shattered their entire understanding.

Who would think a mere Qi Refining Realm martial artist would dare to challenge a Half Saint?

That’s a Half Saint!

In the Northern Region, with Holy Realm practitioners not around, a Half Saint is invincible.

Xiao Yang’s disciple is simply unbelievable.

The boy named Zhao Fan actually caught a punch from a Half Saint relying solely on his physical strength.

This was nothing short of a miracle.

Throughout history, no one had ever heard of a Qi Refining Realm practitioner being able to contend with a Half Saint.

The Qi Refining Realm is merely the entry-level realm of martial artists!

And a Half Saint is a being even stronger than a Martial Arts Master.

One is on the ground while the other is in the sky; there isn’t even a comparison.

Yet now, there was someone from the Qi Refining Realm who could stand against a Half Saint.

If one didn’t see it with their own eyes, who would dare to believe it?

Xiao Yang blended into the crowd, secretly observing the situation around him.

He noticed many martial artists were hidden in the crowd.

Even in the buildings surrounding the square, there were quite a few experts lurking.

There were even people hiding in the clouds above.

In the skies above, mysterious experts were concealed within the clouds.

Above and below, those people had essentially laid a trap in this small Yuanlong City.

However, if that was all there was to it, these people would not be able to escape today.

Having lived a second life, Xiao Yang had learned that being indecisive and merciful had led to his tragic downfall in the past, resulting in the loss of his very life.

In this new life, he couldn’t afford to make the same mistakes!

He understood it was a painful lesson he bought with his life.

In this life, no matter who they were, as long as they were enemies, they had to be eliminated completely.

At this moment, on the altar, the talented martial artist Gui Tian from the Guiyuan family had already thrown a punch at Zhao Fan.

“Boom!”

Gui Tian’s punch drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, creating a force that distorted space itself, accompanied by the ominous rumble of wind and thunder.

This punch was far more powerful than the last one.

Could Zhao Fan handle it?

Everyone was curious.

At this time, the square was packed, yet no one dared to speak.

All eyes were glued to the two on the altar.

Even those powerful figures hiding in the shadows became tense.

Because Zhao Fan’s explosive fighting strength was truly astonishing.

“Kid, my punch is going to crush you!”

Gui Tian sneered.

His fist came down like a massive mountain, bearing down on Zhao Fan.

A huge image of a black tortoise erupted from his body, roaring at Zhao Fan.

This was Guiyuan Martial Sect’s Guiyuan Divine Fist.

The signature technique of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

“Hmph!”

Zhao Fan coldly sneered, without uttering a word. He deeply inhaled and met Gui Tian’s incoming punch with one of his own.

“What…”

“This…”

The crowd stared dumbfounded.

They never thought Zhao Fan would even dare to catch Gui Tian’s punch head-on.

Was he not afraid of being killed?

The power of Gui Tian’s punch summoned celestial forces not comparable to the previous one.

Even Chu Guiyuan, standing in a tower beside the square, found it hard to believe.

Gui Tian’s strength was indisputable.

He had used Guiyuan’s strength to escape from his brother Chu Guixi.

Otherwise, he would still be trapped by Chu Guixi.

Though Chu Guixi didn’t kill him, he imprisoned him in a cave, living a life void of sunlight.

For someone like Chu Guiyuan, who had grown accustomed to a life of luxury, such a fate was worse than death.

He and his cousin Chu Yuan had set a deadly trap aimed at taking out Xiao Yang.

But they also wanted to give Chu Guixi a bit of suffering as well.

As for Gui Tian, he was merely a pawn in their eyes.

But what they never anticipated was that Xiao Yang wouldn’t act immediately; instead, he let his disciple Zhao Fan take action.

That was something they hadn’t foreseen.

And Zhao Fan’s fighting prowess shook the entire venue.

“Bang!”

The two fists collided instantaneously.

A dull thud resounded.

Everyone felt as if they had been struck in the chest and were on the verge of spitting blood.

“Boom!”

The altar beneath them crumbled, dust flying everywhere.

The surrounding crowd was startled and hurriedly retreated.

Two figures fell from the sky.

The moment they hit the ground, both once again unleashed their power.

An even greater force erupted from their fists where they met.

Both were forced back by each other’s might, stumbling slightly.

“How is this possible…”

The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes.

What they were witnessing shocked everyone to their core.

Zhao Fan had actually caught Gui Tian’s punch once more.

His physical strength was beyond anything they could describe.

A Qi Refining Realm Zhao Fan not only withstood Gui Tian’s fierce punch but also pushed Gui Tian back.

They were evenly matched?

“You…”

Gui Tian was utterly stunned.

Because he realized that the opponent had truly caught his punch relying solely on physical strength.

That the other hadn’t even used their martial energy.

How could the physical body of a Qi Refining Realm martial artist be this strong?

“Five Elements Fist, Diamond Fury!”

Zhao Fan roared and stomped forward, then threw a punch at Gui Tian.

The moment he threw that punch, it turned golden, and he himself seemed to glow gold.

In that instant, he finally used his martial energy.

This punch was brutishly powerful.

As he struck, visible ripples spread through the air around his fist.

“Is this a punch that a Qi Refining Realm martial artist can throw?”

The piercing wind from his punch hit, forcing Gui Tian to pay attention.

Zhao Fan was only a Qi Refining Realm martial artist; his inner energy shouldn’t be outwardly released, but this punch unleashed a ferocity that swept up debris from the ground, sending it hurtling in all directions.

Everyone around was startled and quickly dodged.

Several unfortunate souls were knocked about by pieces of the altar.

Luckily, Zhao Fan’s inner energy hadn’t been released. The altar fragments were just swept up by the wind, causing injury but not death.

If those fragments had been infused with martial energy, then getting hit wouldn’t be just a mere injury.

At that moment, Zhao Fan looked like an angry golden deity.

Xiao Yang, hidden among the crowd, couldn’t help but nod inwardly at Zhao Fan’s punch.

Though Zhao Fan appeared honest and unassuming, seemingly not fit for martial arts, he was deceptively smart, with talents far surpassing ordinary people.

Moreover, with his help, although Zhao Fan was still merely in the Qi Refining Realm, his powerful physique was astonishing, even to Xiao Yang himself.

Five Elements Body, truly one of the strongest physiques in the world!
