Liang Jiufeng stared at the terrifying shadow behind the drunken warrior, his brow slightly furrowed.
This shadow came from the legendary human immortal.
Liang Jiufeng, a scholar of vast knowledge, was well aware of human immortals. He understood that while both "immortal" and "human immortal" share the same characters, the meanings were entirely different when the order of the words was switched.
An immortal was a realm that anyone with talent, perseverance, and resources could reach. Even throughout history, there were immortals of varying strengths.
However, a human immortal had only one meaning: powerful.
While martial arts cultivation began the same way for everyone, starting with the first ten prohibitions, the later stages focused more on refining one's body, eventually evolving into the realm of the human immortal.
The human immortal was a lofty and immensely powerful realm in martial arts, one that few could reach.
In ancient times, it was recorded that a human immortal's roar could shatter the nine heavens, showing just how powerful the body could become.
Now, as the drunken warrior manifested the shadow of a human immortal, his aura surged, instantly surpassing Liang Jiufeng and overwhelming most of the sky. The void trembled, collapsing and repairing itself.
This world could no longer bear the weight of the human immortal's power.
One could only imagine how terrifying the real human immortal must be.
However, Liang Jiufeng was not afraid; instead, he smiled and said, "The warm-up is over. Now, let's begin. I won't go easy on you."
At these words, countless people gasped. The drunken warrior had been utterly powerless against Liang Jiufeng earlier, and now he had been forced to bring out his human immortal fist technique and summon the human immortal shadow. Yet, Liang Jiufeng casually referred to it as just a warm-up?
Terrifying!
Everyone shook their heads in disbelief.
The drunken warrior, holding up the human immortal shadow, didn't feel insulted. Instead, he laughed heartily, "To be able to make the senior take me seriously is an honor!"
Boom!!!
The moment his voice fell, the drunken warrior raised his fist and struck, closing in on Liang Jiufeng. His speed increased by at least five times, and Liang Jiufeng, for a moment, couldn't evade. He simply took the punch head-on, refusing to dodge.
Buzz!!!
The ivory-colored fist slammed into Liang Jiufeng's chest with a tremendous vibration, causing his expression to shift. It felt like striking the hardest divine iron, and the reverberating sound was deafening.
Not only did it fail to injure Liang Jiufeng, but the enormous recoil also hurt the drunken warrior himself.
"This is impossible… Your body… it's stronger than mine, despite my focus on martial arts body cultivation?" the drunken warrior exclaimed, his black hair flying, in disbelief.
"You're not bad yourself. Your punch did hurt me," Liang Jiufeng replied.
The drunken warrior nearly spat blood. He had poured all his strength into the human immortal fist, yet all he had managed to do was hurt Liang Jiufeng slightly?
"I don't believe it!!"
Shaking his head in fury, the drunken warrior unleashed a torrent of internal energy, his blood and the essence of his Dao transforming into an explosive force. Brilliant ivory light filled the sky.
Boom!!!
He struck again with the human immortal fist, aiming to break through Liang Jiufeng's body.
His black hair stood on end, his muscular body almost exuding a demonic aura, while the human immortal shadow behind him raged, emitting terrifying waves of energy to assist him in reversing the situation.
His right arm, as heavy as a mountain, slammed down, collapsing the space around them. The onlookers marveled, unable to fathom the sheer destructive power.
"Good, this attack is starting to get interesting," Liang Jiufeng remarked. The drunken warrior's strike had reached the peak of the tenth prohibition, showing immense power.
Moreover, with his martial arts and the human immortal shadow, the attack was as deadly as it could get.
Clang!!!
In the next moment, Liang Jiufeng's fist shot forward. His energy surged like crimson flames and furious waves, capable of boiling seas and burning the heavens. Using his Divine and Demon Body Refining Technique, the surging power swept across and collided with the descending arm of the drunken warrior, emitting a loud, metallic clang.
Both their bodies were incredibly strong, but this time, it was a direct collision. The sound of their clash was like two iron bells ringing together, vibrating through the mountains.
The drunken warrior's body was immensely strong, able to twist space with each swing of his arm, delivering unparalleled force. But against Liang Jiufeng, who practiced the Divine and Demon Body Refining Technique, his body felt like scrap metal in comparison.
Boom!
The two warriors clashed, flying through the air like wind, their combat fast and furious. The sound of their blows was deafening, and the speed was so rapid that it was almost impossible to follow. Only flashes of energy could be seen weaving through the air in a spectacular display.
"That ringing sound… seems like they're fighting intensely."
"Of course, the drunken warrior is putting everything into this; how could it not be intense?"
"Honestly, I can't even see the techniques clearly, it's so fast."
"What do you know? Those who are unfamiliar with the matter watch for the spectacle, but those with knowledge look for the insights. The Dao that these two are unleashing with each movement is something we can all learn from. If you don't understand, just watch quietly."
"I may not understand, but I can feel the energy of that white light from the drunken warrior closing in on the human immortal!"
To the onlookers, it seemed as though the drunken warrior, with his human immortal shadow and unmatched momentum, was forcing Liang Jiufeng into a corner.
However, the truth was that it was Liang Jiufeng, with his fiery energy and oceanic force, relentlessly pursuing the drunken warrior.
At this moment, Liang Jiufeng unleashed the full power of the Divine and Demon Body Refining Technique he had spent ten years perfecting. His energy was mighty and unstoppable, his massive hands coming down like the heavens themselves.
The force of his strike was terrifying.
Liang Jiufeng's body radiated the aura of divine and demon power, faint but undeniable. The energy from his blow was so destructive that it caused the very air to tremble as if the fabric of space itself was shaking.
Boom!!!
The drunken warrior could not avoid the blow. Liang Jiufeng's massive hand locked the skies above him, cutting off all escape. He could only endure the impact.
The strike landed with a deafening crash, sending the drunken warrior flying, his powerful body unable to withstand the force. He was carried by the momentum.
Liang Jiufeng gave no quarter, following up with a relentless barrage of strikes.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Every strike from Liang Jiufeng hit a different part of the drunken warrior's body, causing him to stagger, blood spurting from his mouth. The drunken warrior had no time to retaliate.
The human immortal shadow shattered with each blow, unable to defend itself.
Liang Jiufeng stayed one step ahead, and the drunken warrior felt as though he was caught in an unrelenting storm—unable to steer his own fate, just drifting with the current.
The barrage of attacks never ceased, and the drunken warrior's body began to crack under the pressure. Even his powerful martial arts body began to fracture.
At this moment, the onlookers, who had been so excited earlier, stood frozen in disbelief.
The clashing, ringing sounds they had thought were the result of an even match were, in fact, the sound of the drunken warrior being thoroughly beaten.
