Chapter 332: Chapter 331: The Determination of a Do-or-Die Battle
Yang Fei reined in his prideful heart and said to Zhang Wenfeng, "The so-called Divine Thought is nothing more than a strong willpower and spiritual power. From the beginning of my cultivation, my master taught me that cultivation is not only about cultivating one’s energy, but also about strengthening the Divine Soul and focusing on cultivating both the mind and spirit. Although I haven’t been able to cultivate the power of Divine Thought and Divine Sense, facing an attack from someone like you, who has not yet fully mastered Divine Thought and Divine Sense and is only at the entry level of the Divine Travel Realm, I can still hold my ground."
Zhang Wenfeng listened and felt both shock and anger. He sneered, "How presumptuous! Even though I have just stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, how can you, a junior, underestimate me? My Divine Thought may not be powerful enough to crush and annihilate you, but by stepping into the Divine Travel Realm, whether it is Divine Thought or the control over the Heaven and Earth Power, I have entered a whole new domain. How can you possibly contend?"
Having said that, he raised his hand and grasped at the void.
Boom!
Thunder erupted abruptly.
The void howled as gales surged, with Heaven and Earth Power seemingly under his control, moving furiously, solidifying from emptiness, as if a gigantic dragon’s shadow had formed.
The crowd was greatly startled.
Zhang Wenfeng’s move was indeed like a divine immortal’s technique, extraordinary.
Among those present in the courtyard, there were several Innate Realm powerhouses who had formed a close connection with the Power Elements between heaven and earth and could manipulate the Heaven and Earth Power.
But like Zhang Wenfeng at this moment, who could control the forces between heaven and earth to such a willful extent, they could not achieve that.
This was the gap between the Divine Travel Realm and the Innate Realm.
Under the enhancement of powerful Divine Sense Telekinesis, the Heaven and Earth Power was as if imbued with a soul’s consciousness, not to mention its immense strength. The mere terrifying pressure they carried upon coalescing made one’s heart palpitate and gave rise to a sense of involuntary submission and inability to contend.
Above the courtyard, the wind swept through, transforming into a flood dragon. As Zhang Wenfeng waved his hand through the air, the wind column, shaped like a flood dragon, plummeted from the sky, descending upon Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
Qin Huai’an and Zhu Tianshou flashed and at the same time sprang towards the center of the arena, swinging their palms at the wind column that had materialized.
Yang Fei, holding Qin Yanyang’s hand, threw a punch.
The void boomed with an explosion.
A Fist Gang shot out, forming a huge round shield, and slammed violently into the top of the wind column.
Boom!
Qi surged wildly like two forces colliding with each other, their ferocious power spraying and spreading in all directions.
The Fist Gang blocked most of the wind column’s bombardment with an invincible momentum.
Together with the assistance of Qin Huai’an and Zhu Tianshou, the wind column had dissipated and vanished without a trace before it could reach Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
After his first attack failed, Zhang Wenfeng’s eyes flashed, and he waved his hand again.
Simultaneously, Yang Fei roared, reaching out into the void: "Cloud Binding Hand!"
In an instant, two strong willpowers collided in the void, vying crazily for the Power Elements of the surrounding heavens and earth.
"Pfft pfft pfft!!!"
The Power Elements freely roaming in the void were snatched by the two wills, becoming chaotic, furiously colliding with each other, causing the void to burst.
"Let’s go!"
While executing ’Cloud Binding Hand,’ Yang Fei, pulling Qin Yanyang, dashed forward at high speed.
His momentum was unstoppable, his speed lightning-fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had charged to within less than five meters of Zhang Wenfeng.
Zhang Wenfeng’s pupils suddenly constricted, secretly alarmed.
He had not expected that Yang Fei, while deploying a move that seemed akin to the Divine Skills of the Divine Travel Realm, could still launch such a swift physical attack.
This was a dual-line combat approach with Divine Thought and body.
Shocked, Zhang Wenfeng nonetheless remained composed and let out a cold snort as he struck with his palm.
This time, Zhang Wenfeng did not dare to be careless and used a hundred percent of his power.
Yang Fei did likewise.
Not only that, but Yang Fei also employed the extraordinary skill, Tide.
If today they could not determine who was stronger or weaker, and if they failed to intimidate the other side into retreating, then their own side would inevitably pay a price.
If they could scare the other side away or directly cause them injury, then the situation for the Qin Family would become stable in the future.
Furthermore, with Zhang Yunlong still in their hands, if today Zhang Wenfeng fought without success and refrained from acting rashly for fear of harming his family, he would find it difficult to turn the tables.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering, deafening explosion spread from the point where the three of them clashed.
Two waves of savage shock waves spiraled madly in all directions.
The three figures separated upon impact.
Zhang Wenfeng once again was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang also had a hard time; they too were blown back more than ten meters before they landed and had to retreat another four or five meters to stabilize their forms.
When the spectators looked over, they saw a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of Zhang Wenfeng’s mouth and an incredulous look on his face as he raised his head to look at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
"Tidal Power!!! You... are you that Fatty Taoist’s disciple?"
Just now, he had exerted a hundred percent of his power and should have been able to send both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang flying, but just when they were about to be hit, another wave of violent power surged over like a tidal wave, catching him off guard.
Although he managed to concentrate a portion of his power to counter the attack at the critical moment, he was still invaded by that wave-like force, which injured his internal organs not lightly.
Hearing this exclamation, Yang Fei knew that his school could no longer be concealed. As he was about to acknowledge it, he saw Zhang Wenfeng shaking his head with a complicated expression and saying, "No... not his disciple, with your age to possess such combat strength, though intensified by that Qin girl’s aid, your own ability is indeed one in ten thousand. That dead Fatty Taoist, though fierce, could not have taught a disciple like you. You... you must be that Fatty Taoist’s fellow disciple, right?"
Yang Fei was taken aback.
At this moment, his and Qin Yanyang’s True Qi were almost exhausted under the effect of the Tide, and now both were frantically running their cultivation techniques to recover their True Yuan.
Had it been otherwise, he would not have bothered wasting words with Zhang Wenfeng.
Seeing Zhang Wenfeng making his assumptions and mistaking him for his master’s fellow disciple, Yang Fei couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Sorry, but I really am his disciple. It seems you know my master, and your relationship isn’t too good, haha, and now you can’t even defeat his disciple, does it feel infuriating?"
"Pfft!"
Zhang Wenfeng’s blood surged to his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Back in the day, he indeed had a feud with Yang Fei’s master, the Fatty Taoist, and was severely suppressed by him. Now, more than twenty years later, having stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, he thought he could roam unchallenged and invincible in the Martial Arts World, only to encounter Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang working together and get suppressed by them right after coming down from the mountain.
Now that he learned Yang Fei was the Fatty Taoist’s disciple, the blow to Zhang Wenfeng was imaginable, and he vomited blood on the spot.
Struck by the double blow of his grandson dying tragically and himself wounded by his enemy’s disciple, Zhang Wenfeng saw that Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang seemed to still have the strength for another battle, and a retreat began to form in his heart. Leaving behind a vicious threat, he said, "Qin Huai’an, Yang Fei, you just wait. I, Zhang Wenfeng, will certainly take back today’s humiliation two-fold."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei snorted coldly, "If you have the guts, let’s settle life and death today."
Zhang Wenfeng said, "I’ve just entered the Divine Travel Realm, and my realm is not yet stable. To be injured by the two of you working together today is indeed a disgrace, but you wish to detain me, which is impossible. Boy, I know Zhang Yunlong was taken by you. Remember, if my eldest grandson suffers any mishap, I, Zhang Wenfeng, will surely kill all your kin."
A cold light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he stared intently at Zhang Wenfeng.
Zhang Wenfeng faced him unafraid, meeting Yang Fei’s gaze, and said, "We all have loved ones, we all have concerns, so let’s not take things too far."
He was reminding Yang Fei that unless he was absolutely sure he could kill Zhang Wenfeng, he should not let Zhang Yunlong die. Otherwise, if Zhang Wenfeng went mad, disregarding the rules of the Martial Arts World, it wouldn’t matter whether it was the Qin Family or the Yang Family’s relatives - he would kill each and every one of them, even if it meant mutual destruction.
