With a muffled groan.

Fang Yue retreated more than ten steps before barely managing to steady himself!

His right fist was slightly numb, and the tiger's mouth ached.

Just now, he had used the Fire Fist to collide head-on with Ma Zuo.

The result was that he had been a bit overconfident.

That punch had put him at a disadvantage again.

However, that absolutely head-on punch also allowed Fang Yue to roughly gauge Ma Zuo's strength.

He can fight!

Ma Zuo isn't as strong as I thought!

In front of Fang Yue, Ma Zuo, who had just exchanged a punch with Fang Yue, was looking at Fang Yue with suspicion.

With that punch just now, Fang Yue had indeed retreated more than ten steps, but he had also been forced back three steps by Fang Yue's strength!

Three steps!

For a strongman who had been stuck in the Second-Rate Xiantian Realm for a long time, being forced back three steps by a junior who had just entered the Xiantian Realm was simply a great humiliation!

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

He had to admit, he had been careless! He had underestimated him!

"That move just now… that kind of flame, you actually stole the Liehuo Sect's mental cultivation method! You're really audacious!"

"What are you talking about? I am from the Liehuo Sect! Niu Niu, the eighteenth-generation disciple of the Liehuo Sect, that's me!"

Ma Zuo didn't speak, only sneered.

He couldn't be fooled by such lies.

"Words are useless, just leave your life behind!"

With a stomp of his foot, Ma Zuo took the initiative to charge forward.

The faint silver light emanating from his body gradually solidified and formed a faint silver Xiantian Qi Shield!

This was a method only available in the Xiantian Realm, but it was a method that Fang Yue didn't have.

Because the Xiantian Qi Shield could only be used with the internal energy cultivation method of the Xiantian Realm.

Ma Zuo's speed was fast, but it was still within Fang Yue's acceptable range.

Without any hesitation, he directly condensed a two-meter Fire Blade.

"Petty tricks!"

Ma Zuo's figure suddenly became erratic, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, approaching with a side-stepping motion.

"Dodge?"

Fang Yue sneered, his inner breath flowing, and a surge of qi arose!

A violent, blazing white wave of fire spread towards Ma Zuo in layers, eroding the thickness of Ma Zuo's Xiantian Qi Shield.

By the time Ma Zuo rushed in front of Fang Yue, the blazing white fire waves had already stacked up.

The violent flames immediately sealed off Ma Zuo's movements, forming the suppressing effect of a fire cage.

However...

"Melting Silver Fist!!"

Ma Zuo ignored the fire cage, and without any restriction on his movements, directly rushed in front of Fang Yue and punched him in the chest.

His face darkened, Fang Yue raised his left hand to block, and swung his right hand, brandishing the blade!

"Nine Revolutions Continuous Blade!"

Following Ma Zuo's movements, a heat wave swept up, turning into a fire tornado, but before the blade could land...

Crack!

Ma Zuo's powerful force directly broke Fang Yue's left hand bone, which he used to block, and his wrist bent in a twisted direction.

And after breaking Fang Yue's hand bone, Ma Zuo's fist continued to strike into Fang Yue's chest, his chest bone broke in response, and his chest showed a fist-shaped dent!

Under this punch, the surface of the flesh on his chest rippled in circles.

As the ripples spread, internal force invaded his body, and the original bright red blood turned into silver mercury at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Trading injuries for injuries? I'll stop you from making a move! Die!"

Ma Zuo sneered.

No one could survive this move.

With the blood turned into mercury, the poisonous mercury would invade the whole body.

As long as you solidly take this move, even a strongman of the same realm would be seriously injured, let alone a junior who had just entered the Xiantian Realm?

That's what Ma Zuo thought, and that's what he believed.

But in the next moment, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Because he felt that the blood in Fang Yue's body, which had been dyed into poisonous mercury by his own sinister internal energy, was actually returning to ordinary blood at an extremely fast speed!

It was as if Fang Yue's blood had the ability to self-filter and self-repair, able to refine mercury into ordinary blood, which was completely beyond Ma Zuo's comprehension.

How is that possible?!

Ma Zuo was stunned, and looked up in disbelief, watching Fang Yue raise the two-meter Fire Blade, grinning as he slashed down.

"Who said I couldn't make a move?"

Nine Revolutions Continuous Blade!

Boom!!

The blazing white fire dragon soared into the sky.

The Ma Zuo, who was burned by the fire dragon, had his Xiantian Qi Shield shattered, and the extreme high temperature directly hit his body!

The flesh and blood burned by the high temperature made his whole body hot and red, but it had not yet reached an unbearable level.

The physical strength of the Xiantian Realm was far from what the Houtian Realm could compare to.

The only problem was that when Ma Zuo wanted to retreat to think about how to solve the problem of Fang Yue being able to purify his blood, he found that the fire tornado, which he had been able to deal with easily just now, was now truly restricting his movements!

Without the Xiantian Qi Shield, he could not ignore the effects of the move.

In a moment of astonishment, the high-temperature Fire Blade had already been chopped down.

Ma Zuo dodged the vital point, but was still slashed on the shoulder!

In pain, Ma Zuo wanted to grab the Fire Blade, but grabbed empty air, and instead his palm was burned.

His heart sank, Ma Zuo kicked Fang Yue, using the force to retreat, but was forcibly sucked back by the tornado.

"What kind of blade technique is this?! It doesn't seem like an ordinary Houtian martial skill!"

Ma Zuo was shocked, and gritted his teeth.

"Explode!!"

Boom!!

The Qi Field exploded at almost point-blank range.

Caught off guard, the full internal force directly blasted Fang Yue away.

By the time he stabilized his figure in the air, his blade technique had automatically dissipated due to the loss of internal force support.

Looking at Ma Zuo again, he had already retreated far away, looking at Fang Yue with suspicion.

After a few moves, he hadn't gained any advantage!

You have to know, he was in the Second-Rate Xiantian Realm!

The most incomprehensible thing for Ma Zuo was that his Melting Silver Fist, which he had worked so hard to cultivate for many years, was actually ineffective against Fang Yue!

This was equivalent to half of his strongest attack being directly crippled.

The Melting Silver Fist was not characterized by high-intensity attacks, but by the sinister dissolution of blood, turning it into poisonous mercury.

Without that, the Melting Silver Fist might not even be as good as a more powerful Houtian Fist technique!

"You brat… what's wrong with your body? Why are you immune to my Melting Silver Fist? Aren't you practicing the Liehuo mental cultivation method? I don't remember the Liehuo mental cultivation method having this ability!"

"Just because you don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Fang Yue blew on the burning Fire Blade, like a gunslinger who had just completed a quick draw, squinting at Ma Zuo.

Through this exchange, Fang Yue's confidence had become more sufficient.

Ma Zuo is not to be feared!

With the support of super-high basic attributes, his hardware strength was basically no different from Ma Zuo's.

And in terms of soft power, he was indeed not as good as Ma Zuo.

For example, that kind of footwork, Fang Yue didn't have it, and for example, that sinister fist technique of 'turning blood into silver' just now, he didn't have it either.

Perhaps it was because the martial skills of the Houtian Realm were relatively low-end, most martial skills emphasized wide and open movements, using force to break through skill, rather than adding various sinister effects.
