As he divided his palm, a ferocious oppressive force erupted from Xia Liu. He no longer concealed his cultivation. Amid the chaos of Spiritual Energy, a chilling sensation startled countless people at the scene. "He really is a Martial Artist!" Pan Jiang's pupils suddenly constricted; he had said Xia Liu was no ordinary person! "Damn! This kind of pressure is almost no different from that of the Tianjue Sect Leader!" "He is an Earth-Rank Warrior!" Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang shuddered uncontrollably. Regardless of whether Xia Liu was an Earth-Rank Warrior or not, this kind of pressure was already enough to make them tremble and kneel. They hadn't forgotten that from their first meeting until today, Xia Liu had always been the target of their mockery. Thinking of this, their faces immediately turned ashen. If Xia Liu didn't forgive them after this match ended... "Terrifying!" "So horrifying!" "The pressure of an Earth-Rank Warrior!" "So this is why he has been so arrogant!" Many disciples of the Taiji Sect swallowed hard; they finally understood. The young Xia Liu, the reason he dared to be so bold was because he had the power to back it up! "I see; it seems that your confidence comes from yourself!" laughed Tianjue, coming to his senses atop the platform. Indeed, a young hero. Xia Liu, at such an age, possessing such oppressive power, clearly had an immeasurable future ahead. "However, your energy seems quite weak and has not reached the level of Earth Rank. Your cultivation should be at the Peak of Mysterious Rank." "Hmm, you are too certain; if this were on the battlefield, the price you would pay would be your life." "Sharp-tongued! Not letting you witness the real strength of an Earth-Rank Warrior, do you really think a bit of strength can sweep across the Martial World?" Rage flaring, Tianjue's palm technique and movement technique both operated simultaneously. Above the platform, a peerless figure swept toward Xia Liu with a violent strike. "Just an Earth-Rank Warrior, even now, I can easily overpower you!" Xia Liu looked up, then immediately divided his palms in Yin and Yang to open Eight Trigrams! It was indeed the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm! "That is the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm!!!" Seeing Xia Liu's move, Tianjue's eyes suddenly reddened in an instant. For how many years! For how many years! He had finally seen once more the palm technique that appeared only in his dreams! The disciples of the Taiji Sect felt as if there was a Yin Yang Diagram appearing before Xia Liu, which then transformed into an Eight Trigrams Diagram. They felt as though they had seen this scene somewhere before but suddenly couldn't remember. At this moment, Tianjue had no desire to fight, but the close distance prevented him from withdrawing his palm technique. "Be careful!" Unable to retract his palms, Tianjue roared; he did not know the extent of Xia Liu's actual cultivation. But this kind of strike was in itself disrespectful to Xia Liu. "Tsk tsk, come on! How exhilarating! Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm!" Xia Liu wore a delighted expression; he hadn't sparred with an Earth-Rank Warrior in a long time. A sparring partner like Tianjue was not bad! With a push of his palms, Xia Liu firmly caught Tianjue's Eight Trigrams Palm. "Combat Rotation Stellar Shift Technique!" As he shouted, his figure intensely whirled, fully absorbing Tianjue's palm force, with an Eight Trigrams diagram emerging behind him. Gather force, Unload Force all in one go! Boom! A tremendous force burst out from Xia Liu's shoulders, instantly covering the platform behind him with web-like cracks. Having unloaded the force completely, Xia Liu's palm, concentrating pure physical strength, struck Tianjue's chest. Bang! A muffled sound followed, and Tianjue, who possessed Primary-Level Earth-Rank Cultivation, was sent flying backward. He formed a beautiful arc in the air, then crashed down off the platform. The arena was utterly silent. This scene was too shocking, directly impacting their souls. The Eight Trigrams Palm imbued with Inner Qi from Tianjue had been completely caught by Xia Liu and even transferred behind him to explode! This was nothing to be alarmed about, but what terrified everyone was that Xia Liu had sent Tianjue flying with a single palm strike! A young man had defeated an Earth-Rank Warrior! Everyone who had doubted him had just watched him send an Earth-Rank Warrior flying! Wow! "That's terrifying!" "Is he even human?" "A mighty being, an unparalleled mighty being!" "And he's so young!" "Who exactly is he?" "Chilling..." Beneath the stage, everyone looked at Xia Liu with fear. None of them had forgotten that just moments earlier, they had all been vying to mock him. Xia Liu remained silent, enduring patiently. He used facts and strength to completely slap back! Ouyang Xiong's eyes went blank, and the moment Tianjue fell to the ground, he too slumped into his chair. Fang Huasheng's heart also trembled. He had heard from Xia Liu himself that his cultivation was equivalent to a Mysterious-Rank Mid-Level warrior. Because of this, Fang Huasheng was worried. However, now an astonishing outcome had occurred. The person who was most excited, most exhilarated, and beyond words in the entire arena had to be Tianjue! He wasn't disheartened at all, and he accepted his defeat gracefully, as he was defeated by a member of the Taiyi Sect! Although over the years he served Huaxia, disciples from within his sect had joined the Heaven Slaying sect. But he dared not forget the sect's teachings or the headquarters of his initial memories, the Taiyi Sect! The historical records described the Taiyi Sect as a substantial Ancient Martial Sect with thousands of disciples. The location of the Taiyi Sect was unknown, and it had countless powerful members, enjoying immense prestige in the Ancient Martial World. As for the Taiji Sect, it was founded by disciples who came out of the mountains with the purpose of seeking exceptional new talents for the Taiyi Sect. In recent decades, however, the Elder who brought in new disciples in the Taiyi Sect suddenly disappeared, closing the opportunities for Taiji Sect disciples around the world to enter the Taiyi Sect. Seeing the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm again today brought Tianjue to tears. He slowly stood up and, facing Xia Liu, wiped away his tears unconcerned with everyone watching him. Tianjue's actions were seen by everyone, making their faces twitch. The Sect Leader of the Taiji Sect cried! This was even more baffling than any fight. Their looks towards Xia Liu were already filled with fear. Fear for his power, fear for his identity. Fear for everything about him! Disregarding the crowd's gaze, Tianjue bowed and clasped his hands towards Xia Liu. "Sect Leader Tianjue", although you lost, you needn't do this, and we can talk about anything else later." As Tianjue was about to kneel, Xia Liu preempted his action and words. "Yes!" Tianjue resumed his previous solemnity, nodding in agreement with Xia Liu's words. "Wow! Even the Sect Leader of the Taiji Sect is listening to Xia Liu." "Brother Niu, shall we run? Staying here might get us killed." "Hmm! I was thinking the same." "You two sit tight." Just as Niu Zhenjie and Jiang Wenqiang were planning their escape, Pan Jiang sternly ordered them. "General Ouyang, I have already defeated Tianjue, so I've won this duel, right?" Xia Liu looked up and addressed Ouyang Xiong in the tower. "Humph, even if you have won, so what! The factions of Heaven Slaying do not acknowledge you!" Ouyang Xiong, boosting his energy, shouted angrily: "Also, you disregarded the morality of warriors and forcibly snatched someone else's fiancée, what about that?" "Heaven Slaying factions, surround him!" Having vented his anger, Ouyang Xiong wasn't satisfied, he immediately instructed the members of Heaven Slaying. Today he was determined to give Xia Liu an unforgettable lesson!
