The Prince of the Rain Mist was indeed very strong. As his aura surged, it shot straight into the clouds. The terrifying power trembled, shaking heaven and earth incessantly. The violent energy manifested into patterns, which then transformed into a misty rain fog that spread across the mountain peak, possessing an ethereal beauty.
However, this oppressive aura fell upon Ye Chu, placing immense pressure on him. It was so overwhelming that the massive rocks around Ye Chu hissed and cracked, as if they were about to shatter.
“I will give you one last chance. Leave this place and disappear from Miaotong’s sight forever. I will let you off today, but otherwise, I will definitely destroy you!” The Prince of the Rain Mist stared fixedly at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled, resisting the other party’s aura, and said, “If you can destroy me, then go ahead and try!”
As Ye Chu spoke, his fist suddenly lashed out. With the swing of his fist, it shot forward like a cannonball, rushing straight out as if to shatter heaven and earth. Following the Instant Wind Art, it traced a sharp arc and arrived in front of the Prince of the Rain Mist in the very next instant.
Many people’s hearts skipped a beat upon seeing this scene. They watched Ye Chu with burning eyes. The strength Ye Chu displayed was not weak, and his swift attack in particular left them in disbelief.
Yet, despite such a swift and fierce punch, it failed to hit the Prince of the Rain Mist. His figure retreated rapidly, landing on his afterimage. The afterimage shattered, but the Prince of the Rain Mist remained completely unharmed.
“You dodge quite fast!” Ye Chu looked at his opponent and said, “You are indeed worthy of the Xuanhua Realm. Your reaction speed is beyond my expectations!”
“There is much more beyond your expectations!” As the Prince of the Rain Mist spoke, his body shot out like a sharp arrow. Wielding his power, he kicked fiercely towards Ye Chu’s chest. The movement of his leg was like a venomous snake trying to bite Ye Chu.
Ye Chu was not in a hurry. He used his arm to block the opponent’s foot, placing his hand right at the tip of the shoe. However, his arm felt a massive force rushing towards him, and Ye Chu was sent flying. His arm felt as heavy as ten thousand jin, trembling and going completely numb.
Ye Chu stood in the air, holding his kicked arm, staring intently at his opponent with a solemn expression. On his arm, there was a bruise that would not fade no matter how much energy he circulated. It was evident how formidable the opponent’s strength was. If he had not practised the Shaman Body Art and had Liu Yun help temper his body, that single kick would have crippled his arm.
Seeing Ye Chu still standing there safely, the Prince of the Rain Mist felt somewhat puzzled. That kick just now would have put even an ordinary Xuanhua Realm cultivator at a disadvantage, yet Ye Chu’s arm was not crippled, which was beyond his expectations.
Ye Chu shook his numb arm, looked at the Prince of the Rain Mist, and said, “The Xuanhua Realm is indeed formidable. If I were a bit weaker, that kick would have knocked me to the ground.”
“It is best that you understand!” The Prince of the Rain Mist stared at Ye Chu. “You will not be so lucky next time!”
“Is that so?” As Ye Chu spoke, his fingers flicked, and the Teng Snake baleful energy surged out, transforming into massive old vines that whipped directly towards his opponent. “Then taste the power of this baleful energy!”
Seeing the Teng Snake baleful energy rushing towards him, the Prince of the Rain Mist was not anxious. With a calm expression, he wielded his power. Streams of energy surged from his body, and with every surge, the void bloomed with brilliant light. The power swept towards the baleful energy. “This is intimidating to others, but to me, it is nothing.”
“Break!”
With a roar from the Prince of the Rain Mist, his power transformed into a hurricane. As it swept through, it twisted the very void. The old vines formed by the Teng Snake baleful energy were directly twisted and snapped. The hurricane swept towards the baleful energy, grinding it away completely.
“How is that?” The Prince of the Rain Mist stared at Ye Chu, a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth. “Are these your trump cards? Show me whatever other tricks you have!”
Ye Chu stared at the Prince of the Rain Mist with a solemn expression. This person was indeed excessively strong. He casually obliterated the baleful energy, making him even stronger than Ye Chu had imagined.
Ye Chu took a few deep breaths, looked at his opponent, and said, “Let us see if you are truly fearless against baleful energy!”
As he spoke, several streams of baleful energy surged violently from Ye Chu’s body. His acupoints shifted, and the baleful energy danced, transforming into old vines one after another. These old vines were like giant pythons, coiling around Ye Chu.
The potential of Ye Chu’s acupoints was forced out, bringing his control over the baleful energy to an extremely profound level. Driven to its extreme by him, the baleful energy carried a terrifying corrosive aura, impacting the space and causing it to twist as if it were being corroded.
Watching several streams of baleful energy sweep towards him from all directions, the Prince of the Rain Mist also wielded various powers in his hands. This baleful energy was indeed terrifying, capable of corroding sand and rocks, but it still meant nothing to him. This was because his opponent was merely in the Xuangu Realm and could never defeat him, even with such terrifying baleful energy. Unless, of course, Ye Chu could also reach the Xuanhua Realm. Only with the control and driving force of the Xuanhua Realm could the baleful energy pose a threat to him.
As the Prince of the Rain Mist thrust his arm forward, power continuously surged out, transforming into patterns that constantly swept towards the Teng Snake baleful energy.
His power was terrifying. Every sweep could snap the Teng Snake baleful energy, which was then ground away by waves of force. Even though Ye Chu drove the Teng Snake baleful energy to its absolute limit, he could not harm his opponent in the slightest.
“You should just give up. You will never be able to shake me!” The Prince of the Rain Mist looked down at Ye Chu, mocking him as if he were looking at prey.
Watching this scene, the crowd shook their heads. After all, Ye Chu was a whole realm behind. The gap between the Xuanhua Realm and the Xuangu Realm was simply too vast. One had undergone a metamorphosis, while the other was still stuck at an ordinary level. How could they compete? Even with a sharp weapon like baleful energy, the effect was minimal!
Ye Jingyun also shook her head, thinking that Ye Chu was truly going to make a move to snatch Tan Miaotong. Having reached this point, there was no telling how many more enemies Ye Chu would make.
“However, he already has enemies everywhere, so a few more will not matter!” Ye Jingyun smiled bitterly, looking at Ye Chu.
Only Liu Yun stared at Ye Chu with a calm expression. He had been training Ye Chu these past few days and knew just how astonishing his potential was. Ye Chu had not unleashed his true strength at this moment. Rather than saying that Ye Chu and the Prince of the Rain Mist were fighting, it was more accurate to say that Ye Chu was using his baleful energy to test his opponent’s strength.
Just as Liu Yun had guessed, Ye Chu was evaluating the Prince of the Rain Mist’s strength, but the more he evaluated, the more shocked he became. The opponent’s power was far too strong compared to his own. Under normal circumstances, if Ye Chu exchanged a palm strike with him, he would definitely end up spitting blood. Therefore, he absolutely could not engage in a direct clash against him.
Thinking of this, Ye Chu felt a severe headache. In this case, he was at an innate disadvantage, and his chances of winning this fight were exceedingly slim.
