Daqian Martial Saint

BANG! BANG! BANG!...

The roars and explosions echoed. Although Cao Yingxiong was skilled in Fist and Palm Techniques, under the continuous, ferocious assault, he could no longer parry Chen Ping’an’s furious blows. In a moment of carelessness, Chen Ping’an broke through his defenses and viciously kicked him in the chest.

HUMMM~

Cao Yingxiong’s body shot backward, the Protective True Qi shielding him rippling in circle after circle. Besides the Protective True Qi, the fat on his body vibrated wildly, undulating in unison to dissipate the force throughout his frame.

Although Chen Ping’an’s kick was powerful, it didn’t achieve the expected result.

’It won’t break!?’ Chen Ping’an’s gaze hardened in mid-air.

Even enhanced by the Vajra Unbreakable Power, his kick still couldn’t shatter Cao Yingxiong’s defenses.

Cao Yingxiong’s technique, similar to the Eighteen Falls of Clothing, wasn’t a form of Hard Skills from Horizontal Training, but it possessed an extremely strong Force Dissipation Technique. It was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

Although his kick had landed squarely on Cao Yingxiong’s chest, it failed to cause any substantial damage.

Unable to break Cao Yingxiong’s defense, the two were locked in a temporary stalemate.

’A good opportunity!’

Cao Yingxiong’s eyes lit up. He puffed out his belly, inhaled deeply, and let out a thundering shout.

"ROAR—!"

An incredibly ferocious roar suddenly erupted, and overlapping sonic waves blasted toward Chen Ping’an.

At this moment, Chen Ping’an had just delivered a flying kick to Cao Yingxiong and was completely unable to dodge.

This was the golden opportunity Cao Yingxiong had seized. He appeared to be in a sorry state, but in reality, he had been constantly thinking of a strategy to defeat his enemy during the fight.

It was precisely at this moment, when his opponent’s fierce kick struck his chest, seemingly about to break his guard and displaying utter dominance, that Cao Yingxiong sounded the horn for his counterattack.

A Thunderous Strike to shake the spirit—this was the Dragon’s Roar!

’His opponent cultivates the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill and his will is like a Vajra. My Dragon’s Roar technique, this Thunderous Strike, even launched when he’s caught off guard, probably won’t have the same miraculous effect it has on other Martial Artists.’

’But no matter what, this Thunderous Strike should have some effect and shake his spirit. As long as it can do that, it’s enough for me.’

’Once his opponent’s spirit is shaken, that will be the beginning of my counterattack.’

The overlapping sonic waves surged like a tidal wave, sweeping toward Chen Ping’an. The incredibly ferocious bombardment relentlessly battered his spirit.

True Qi surged around Cao Yingxiong’s body. He was just waiting for the moment Chen Ping’an’s spirit was shaken to seize the opportunity and launch his counterattack.

But...

CLANG!

The Vajra Image behind Chen Ping’an flared with golden light and abruptly shuddered.

The overlapping thunderous sound, like waves crashing against a monolithic mountain, failed to move it in the slightest.

’How is this possible!?’ For the first time since the fight began, genuine astonishment appeared on Cao Yingxiong’s face.

’My Tiger’s Roar and Dragon’s Chant is also a Divine Skill. When I activate it, even if my opponent cultivates the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, it’s impossible for him to be completely unaffected. For this to be happening, there’s only one possibility!’

’My opponent has cultivated this Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill to an extremely profound level—at least the Great Success Realm!’

’Only at the Great Success Realm would the Vajra Image be this substantial and the Divine Intent so complete that mere sound waves could not shake it.’

In terms of the Cultivation Techniques’ effects, the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill was an extremely strong counter to the Tiger’s Roar and Dragon’s Chant.

"Hmph!"

Chen Ping’an snorted coldly, retracting his foot and driving his knee toward Cao Yingxiong.

’If one strike doesn’t work, I’ll just strike again!’

The sight of the incoming knee strike made Cao Yingxiong’s scalp tingle. Not daring to be careless for a second, he forcibly stopped his Tiger’s Roar and Dragon’s Chant and shifted his hands, attempting to parry. But Chen Ping’an’s attack was even more ferocious than he had imagined.

BANG!

Amidst a loud crash, Cao Yingxiong’s body was sent flying backward.

The knee strike successfully broke through Cao Yingxiong’s Protective True Qi and slammed into his body. However, the fat all over his opponent’s frame trembled, and like a slippery loach, it dissipated most of the force from Chen Ping’an’s attack.

’What a pity!’ Chen Ping’an sighed inwardly.

This blow had managed to injure Cao Yingxiong, but thanks to his opponent’s special Force Dissipation Technique, it was only a minor injury at most—nothing serious.

HUMMM~

True Qi surged around Cao Yingxiong as he abruptly stabilized himself. The fat on his torso jiggled and vibrated, dissipating most of the force. Although the blow hadn’t caused him much harm, it meant that in a direct confrontation, he was not his opponent’s match.

’Where did this master come from!? To be so strong!’

Cao Yingxiong’s gaze toward Chen Ping’an was filled with solemnity.

Sixteen years ago, he’d had the good fortune to spar with a master from the Dragon and Tiger Chart. His opponent had used all sorts of moves, marvelous techniques, and methods. In that battle, aside from holding back their trump cards, the two could be said to have fought with all their might.

In that fight, he didn’t fall behind in the slightest; they were evenly matched. Afterward, the Dragon and Tiger Chart master acknowledged his level of Martial Dao, stating they were on the same tier and giving him extremely high praise.

This was also why the rumors that he possessed the combat strength of someone at the bottom of the Dragon and Tiger Chart had become so widespread.

The Dragon and Tiger Chart master he fought back then was ranked three hundred and fifty-seventh on the Dragon and Tiger Chart!

During that battle, both had hidden their trump cards and hadn’t used them. From his opponent’s perspective, he probably thought that if he had used his trump card, he could have suppressed Cao Yingxiong. But from Cao Yingxiong’s point of view, that wasn’t the case at all. If both had gone all out, it was still uncertain who would have emerged victorious!

In all these years, Cao Yingxiong had never truly fought with his full power! The few times he had acted, it was always a case of bullying the weak, crushing ordinary absolute masters. Lacking a record of significant victories, he had never officially made it onto the Dragon and Tiger Chart.

But only Cao Yingxiong himself knew that as early as sixteen years ago, he already possessed the combat power of someone on the Dragon and Tiger Chart! Now, sixteen years later, he had not stagnated; the subtle applications of his many Cultivation Techniques had all improved!

In terms of strength, he was even stronger than he was back then!

If he were to face that same Dragon and Tiger Chart master now, Cao Yingxiong was confident he could suppress him even without using his trump card.

All these years of smooth sailing had made Cao Yingxiong increasingly arrogant. He believed that short of a Grandmaster appearing, there were very few, if any, Absolute Masters who could suppress him in a direct confrontation.

But today, reality had given him a harsh slap in the face. This expert, whose origins were a complete mystery, had suppressed him from the very first move. By now, he was being pushed so hard he could barely breathe.

He had always been known for his fierce and swift methods, striking like lightning, yet now he was the one being completely suppressed, unable to parry!

Although he was protected by his unique Force Dissipation Technique and hadn’t suffered any substantial injuries, Cao Yingxiong felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

It wasn’t that he was weak; it was that his opponent’s Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill was simply too terrifying. Moreover, he had cultivated it to such a high Realm that it almost completely nullified his Tiger’s Roar and Dragon’s Chant.

He had been famous for many years, but he had never encountered such a formidable foe!

’Which master from the Dragon and Tiger Chart is this!? Why have they come to ambush and kill me!?’ Cao Yingxiong’s heart was filled with alarm and suspicion.

Cao Yingxiong had barely regained his footing, the questions on the tip of his tongue yet to be asked, when his opponent, like a Furious Vajra glowing with the radiance of a great sun, charged toward him again.

"Is there no end to this!?"

Even a clay doll has a bit of a temper, to say nothing of Cao Yingxiong. As a man who presided over a region and held sole authority, when had he ever been so humiliated?

’My opponent is strong, capable of suppressing me in a direct fight. But I’m not weak either! With my unique force dissipation technique, his moves can only inflict minor injuries at best. I have nothing to fear.’

’Besides, I still have a trump card I haven’t played!’

Cao Yingxiong roared furiously. True Qi surged around him, a Profound Light flashed between his eyebrows, and he swung both hands forward to meet the attack head-on.

At his Realm, even his bare hands could split gold and shatter jade, no less formidable than any Treasure Artifact.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

One with a powerful physique, like a Furious Vajra; the other with a corpulent frame, like a giant ball of flesh. Amidst a series of thunderous explosions, the two became a blur of battle.

SWISH!

Just as the two were clashing, a sharp, crisp whistle tore through the sky. An exquisitely crafted firework soared up from nearby, streaking toward the heavens in a blaze of brilliant color.

BOOM!

The firework reached its apex and suddenly detonated in the sky. In an instant, a dazzling light blossomed, like a thousand tiny sparks blooming at once.

These tiny sparks exploded in succession, letting out a series of crackling pops.

It was the signature signal flare of the Qiankun Bureau!
