Chapter 339 Movement of Tides

“You’re part of the Feng family?”

Zhuo Bufan furrowed his brows and righteously said, “No matter who you are, the rules are the rules. No matter who, they cannot hurt normal people.”

The black-robed man chuckled but did not admit or nor deny anything. Non-committal, he said, “Then you’ll first have to get through me.”

While the two confronted each other, Feng Ni’er had already taken the opportunity and leaped to Luoxue. Swinging her whip, she shouted with the joy of revenge, “Go die, b*tch!”

“Get lost!”

Just as Ye Duxing, wearing an icy expression, was about to act, an angry roar rang out.

A figure flashed across like a shooting star and grabbed hold of Feng Ni’er’s whip and tugged, stealing the whip from her hand. Feng Ni’er retreated quickly in shock.

The figure moved like a shadow and took a ghost-like step forward. With a crack, the long whip snapped across Feng Ni’er’s face. A clear and bloody mark appeared on her beautiful face.

“You b*stard, how dare you whip me and ruin my face…”

Feng Ni’er touched the blood on her face and screamed sharply. She clawed toward Ding Ning’s face like a vixen.

“B*tch, you want to die?”

Ding Ning had always treated women tenderly and never hit one but at this moment, his towering rage had drowned out his rational thought. Without a shred of mercy, he kicked Feng Ni’er’s abdomen. She screamed and flew out over a dozen meters with her hand over her stomach. She landed on the ground heavily and spat up a mouthful of blood.

Ding Ning was truly angry and had no intention of letting her go. Pushing off from the ground, Ding Ning chased after her like a northern goshawk. The long whip swung over his head and lashed toward Feng Ni’er. “I never hit women but a scumbag like you don’t even count as a person. You want to kill my sister? I’ll kill you today.”

Crack, crack, crack…

The seemingly endless whip lashed ruthlessly across Feng Ni’er’s body as she rolled around on the ground in pain and screamed.

Ye Duxing furrowed her brows. Not in sympathy for Feng Ni’er but in concern that Ding Ning might actually kill her in his rage. The vengeance of the Feng family was not something he could endure.

The black-robed man glanced at Ding Ning fearfully. Silently he retreated backward and quietly moved closer to Luoxue, whose face was filled with joy.

“Sir, enough is enough, why go so hard on a woman?”

Long Xiaotian sighed. Although he did not like Feng Ni’er’s actions, he could not watch as she died in front of him. Picking up his knife, he blocked Ding Ning’s whip.

Ding Ning looked at him coldly. “Considering the fact that you did not commit such actions with him, I won’t kill you. Move out of my way!”

“If you want to kill me, that’ll depend on your ability.”

Long Xiaotian’s brows rose. His pride had been triggered and he stared intently at Ding Ning without any sign of weakness.

Ding Ning’s lips slowly opened and he gave a smile that one’s hair stand on end. “If you can accept three moves from me, I’ll let her go today.”

“Three moves? Haha, how confident. Then come, let me see how you can defeat me in three moves.”

Long Xiaotian was really angry. He retreated backward a little and stood with his back straight. A wild arrogance emanated from his body.

Ding Ning’s gaze focused and the corners of his lips twitched up slightly. He threw aside the whip in his hand. “Interesting, get ready.”

A bone splitting sound rang out. Like a cannonball, Ding Ning struck toward Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian did not dare to be careless. He lifted his knife with both hands and blocked it in front of his body.

With a metallic screech, Ding Ning’s fist landed ruthlessly on the knife. Shockingly, there was the sound of metal on metal.

Long Xiaotian only felt a powerful force approach him. His feet involuntarily took three steps back. All the blood in his body roiled and his arms were numb, as if he had lost all feeling.

Ding Ning did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and lightly said, “Are you ready?”

Long Xiaotian felt embarrassed. He felt feeling return to his arm and he threw down his knife. “Again.”

“Then get ready for my second move.”

The aura around Ding Ning’s body grew wildly. His defined muscles stood tall and he abruptly swung a fist toward Long Xiaotian.

“Overlord fist!”

Long Xiaotian gave off a vast aura of imperial benevolence. The powerful aura made one want to kneel in worship. A layer of golden light enveloped his fist and he met Ding Ning’s fist with a roar.

A strange light flashed through Ding Ning’s eyes, was this power? It actually suppressed his strength and there was some stagnation in the circling of his True Qi. However, it did not have much effect on him. After all, he was not using the True Qi in his body but using the strength of his body to defeat his enemy.

Bang!

The two fists collided with one another with shockwaves visible to the naked eye and let out a terrifying bang.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

The two of them simultaneously took three steps back. Long Xiaotian was not shocked, and on the contrary, he was delighted. This one punch had allowed him to touch the Sky Martial Arts Realm’s bottleneck.

A strange light appeared in Ding Ning’s eyes. Long Xiaotian’s Overlord Fist was indeed overbearing. It was comparable to half his strength. This made the blood in his body boil and he felt a powerful sense of competitiveness. He was eager for a true battle.

“Again!”

Long Xiaotian was even more eager than he was and voluntarily charged with his fists.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

… The two of them had long forgotten the agreement of three punches. They were evenly matched and of good skill. Each punch landed on flesh, it was the wildest, most direct, and most violent sense of fighting to one’s heart’s content.

Following their endless punches, the air continued to tremble with terrifying aftershocks. Small rocks and dust flew in all directions. And the wind from their fists created a giant crater in the hard earth.

Both their feet had sunken into the ground but neither retreated a single step. Back and forth, their fists collided, demonstrating what was the most primal and wild violence.

Both of their appearances were messy and unkempt and their clothing was in disarray. They both cut a sorry figure. However, their auras were like that of demons and gods and made one feel great respect!

With Ding Ning’s appearance, the Spirit-summoning Flag disappeared mysteriously. The warriors who were certain to obtain the treasure stopped fighting and were watching, from a distance the two people with unparalleled battle power fight. They were all deeply shocked.

Shock even appeared in the eyes of the giant of the Ju Zhu brothers, whose eyes rarely showed any emotion. He did not dare to get near them at all.

These two inhuman guys, just their aftershocks of their battle made him feel threatened. His inborn great strength that he had always been so proud of was not worth mentioning in front of these two demons.

The dwarf’s face also paled in shock. He had always thought that Long Xiaotian was relying on the power and might of the Long family to play around and did not live up to the title of “Most Talented” at all. He had always avoided him because he was afraid of the power of the Long family and did not wish to make trouble for himself.

But now he realized he had misjudged. Long Xiaotian had never demonstrated his true battle power in front of outsiders.

If they actually fought. The Ju Zhu brothers would not be a match for Long Xiaotian.

But what shocked him more was Ding Ning’s behavior. As a warrior in the apex of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, he could see that unlike Long Xiaotian’s smooth channeling of True Qi, Ding Ning’s battle power was completely reliant on his physical strength. He did not use any True Qi at all.

Was this suddenly-risen young man not an Ancient Warrior but a warrior of the modern stream?

Everyone probably thought that other than Ye Duxing and Luoxue.

Until… Ding Ning’s suddenly withdrew with a calm expression and quietly waited for Long Xiaotian’s breakthrough. It was only now that everyone realized a terrifying truth that Ding Ning had probably still not used all of his strength.

Long Xiaotian’s moment of breaking through was also the moment he could not be disturbed. If anything went wrong, he could self-destruct.

But Ding Ning did not push his advantage and attack. On the contrary, he withdrew and quietly waited for the breakthrough. This manner and attitude made everyone else blush with shame.

Long Xiaotian glanced gratefully at Ding Ning then sat down with assurance and calmly broke through. He trusted that since Ding Ning had stopped, he was a generous gentleman and would not take advantage of him.

A strange light flashed through Ye Duxing’s beautiful eyes. She had minded her virginity lost to Ding Ning previously, but now she could let it go. This man was truly a great man. It would not demean her to be his cultivation partner.

In any case, if it was her fighting her enemy, she would certainly not give them the chance to breakthrough. The best choice would be to kill them while they were ill.

However, she did not look down on Ding Ning for doing such a seemingly stupid thing. On the contrary, she felt that Ding Ning was the one who emanated a bright light.

However, she did not understand Ding Ning’s personality at all. Ding Ning was like her who believed that the best thing to do would be to attack while the enemy was down.

His current actions stemmed from nothing more than his powerful self-confidence. He believed that even Long Xiaotian broke through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm, he would still not be his match, and on the contrary, he would become a whetstone for his understanding. This was the only reason he was being so generous.

In the battle earlier, Ding Ning was always under pressure from Long Xiaotian and he was unable to fully exert his boundless strength.

But it was under this powerful pressure that he came into contact with a glimpse of the mystery and faintly gained an understanding.

However, as the battle progressed, the pressure Long Xiaotian, at the apex of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, exerted upon Ding Ning grew less and less which severed his understanding of the power. Thus, he needed Long Xiaotian to become more powerful, to put more pressure on him, so to help him to better understand his own power.

Ever since the Second Master demonstrated the power to him once, Ding Ning was thirsty for more and hoped to be able to understand his own power as soon as possible.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Ding Ning stared sightlessly at the mighty ocean. Wave after wave crashed onto the ocean and this brought him an instant of understanding.

Water could sink a boat as well as raise one. The strength of water appeared soft but when the wind and tide rose, wave after wave crashed tirelessly onto one another, crushing the previous into the sand.

The instant of understanding made the True Qi in Ding Ning’s body involuntarily circulate as it mimicked the ocean’s strength, forming a cycle in his meridians that brought ever-increasing strength.

He closed his eyes and quietly understood all of this. Fusing with the Nine-fold Hidden Energy generating technique, the faint side of tides rang out from within his body.

Fortunately, Long Xiaotian was in the midst of his breakthrough. The noise from that drew everyone’s gaze and the loud sound of the ocean waves covered all of this. Otherwise, someone would have noticed.

Only Luoxue’s eyes remained focused on Ding Ning. Even though she had not cultivated and did not understand what was happening, in her eyes, Ding Ning right now was changed.

He became as vast as the sea, became turbulent, and became like a terrifying tsunami that swept up everything in this world. It was the might of nature that made one feel a sense of respect and fear.

Ding Ning abruptly opened his eyes and an imperceptible purple light flashed through them. The corners of his mouth twitched up slightly and he silently muttered to himself, “This is my power, boundless Movement of Tides.”

At almost the same time, Long Xiaotian also opened his eyes and leaped up. A powerful might shone in his eyes and his body emanated a golden light as if god had descended, arrogant without compare.

He looked at Ding Ning without blinking and his vigorous desire for battle rose. His lips rose and he sighed with whole-hearted admiration. “You are very powerful, but you are now not a match for me.”

A warm smile rose to the corners of Ding Ning’s lips. The smile was brilliant but his words were startling. “Three moves and you will lose!”
