Chapter 340 Two Moves

“Tch, although this guy is powerful, he is still in the Earth Martial Arts Realm. How can he defeat Long Xiaotian, who has already entered the Sky Martial Arts Realm, with just three moves?”

“What an arrogant guy but he does have the capital to be arrogant. To be able to draw with Long Xiaotian is something to be proud of.”

“The draw was before. I bet that in a battle now, he is definitely not Long Xiaotian’s match.”

“I also think this is the case. Long Xiaotian is the young master of the Long family. The Overlord Fist he cultivates is a martial technique of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Before the Sky Martial Arts Realm, it could not exert too much power but its strength increases with the rise of cultivation realms.”

“Although what you say is true, I don’t understand where the kid gets his confidence from to say that he can defeat Long Xiaotian in three moves.”

“It’s a psychological tactic. After all, Long Xiaotian just broke into the Sky Martial Arts Realm. The True Qi in his body has not had time to change into Spiritual Aura and he is not familiar with the battle methods of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. That kid’s battle strength is not weak. As long as he uses psychological tactics correctly, he could still win.”

“I don’t agree with that at all. Even if his True Qi has not changed to Spiritual Aura, the Sky Martial Arts Realm is the Sky Martial Arts Realm and it is very different from the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Just the difference in the amount of True Qi is not something a warrior in the Earth Martial Arts Realm can compare to. He will lose surely”

…

When the crowd heard Ding Ning’s wild words, a clamor of discussion broke out. Most did not look favorably upon Ding Ning.

After all, there was the difference of a large realm between the Earth Martial Arts Realm and the Sky Martial Arts Realm. The difference in strength was not something a difference of a small realm could compare to.

Long Xiaotian’s gaze focused. He deeply believed that Ding Ning was not one to speak aimlessly but he did not believe that he, who had already broken through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm, was not a match for Ding Ning.

He did not become angry because of Ding Ning’s arrogance. Instead, he stared into Ding Ning’s deep eyes and quietly said, “Then let’s see what you’ve got.”

Having broken through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm, the Overlord Fist returned to its true state. The brilliant gold light dissolved into a faint golden glaze, and it became more concentrated and overbearing.

Taking one step forward, the gold-glazed wrapped fist moved lightly towards Ding Ning.

“Good attack!”

Ding Ning’s desire for battle rose and he shouted loudly as he struck out a fist to meet it.

After Long Xiaotian broke through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm, the power of his punch immediately increased more than 10 times. The strength of this punch created sparks in the air and it looked incomparably terrifying.

However, this powerful pressure made Ding Ning’s battle blood rise continuously. Not only did he not feel a trace of fear, he actually felt joy. The Movement of Tides that he had just come to understand abruptly exploded out.

Long Xiaotian’s expression changed. In his eyes, the slow and gently Ding Ning suddenly changed to become an enormous wave, carrying the innate might of nature.

This made his power crumble and he was unable to suppress Ding Ning. On the contrary, he had the sense of being a small sailboat in a storm that could be smashed to pieces at any moment.

This startled him. Initially, he had been afraid of hurting Ding Ning and so had only used 50% of his strength. At this moment, he immediately increased it to 70% and went forward to meet Ding Ning’s fist with unstoppable force.

Boom!

The horrifying sound wave extended wildly in all directions. Sand and rocks shifted where they collided and dust spread throughout the air. The warriors who were close to the sound wave had their mouths stained red and blood bled through their clothes and they stumbled backward in fear. Those standing further away did not dare to come closer in case they met the same fate.

It was only after the sound wave dissipated and the dust settled did the crowd see what the two people at the center of the battle looked like.

Long Xiaotian stood ramrod straight with a proud air. He was not injured at all. However, his feet had been buried up to his knees, as if he had grown shorter.

Ding Ning’s face flushed red and white, his qi and blood were unsettled. He should have suffered a loss.

Everyone’s expression showed that they expected this outcome. The difference between the Earth Martial Arts Realm and the Sky Martial Arts Realm was not one that could be closed by talent.

However, they did not see the bitterness that flashed across the corner of Long Xiaotian’s lips. It looked like Ding Ning had suffered a loss but in reality, the one who had suffered a great loss was Long Xiaotian.

Ding Ning’s Movement of Tides and his power of overlord were equally powerful and he could not suppress Ding Ning.

However, the terrifying strength that Ding Ning exploded out with and, in particular, the Hidden Energy of the cryptic True Qi that crashed wave after wave on him gave him no choice but to sink his feet into the ground to diffuse the seemingly soft but actually overbearing power of the tides. He had already suffered some unseen injuries.

“That was great. Again!”

Ding Ning laughed loudly and swung his fist. The terrifying fist moved like lightning straight toward Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian silently bemoaned his fate. His blood was roiling from the previous bunch and the blood he had just swallowed back from the top of his throat had not calmed down yet.

But as the young master of the Long family and a talent of the younger generation of the ancient martial world, how could he admit defeat like this? Ding Ning’s powerful strength triggered the pride in his bones. He did not dare to hold anything back and struck out with all the strength in his body.

His only hope was to defeat Ding Ning with this one strike. Otherwise, he had no more strength left for a third punch.

Unfortunately, the imagination was vivid but the reality was harsh. The power Ding Ning just understood came more naturally to him and a wave more powerful than the giant one previously rolled toward him relentlessly. It made him feel like a speck of sand amidst a wide ocean.

The strength of the punch was like the waves of a tsunami. Wave after wave as if it would never stop rolling in.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Long Xiaotian who was like a nail being hammered into the ground by Ding Ning’s fist until only his head was left above ground.

From everyone else’s perspective, Long Xiaotian had been crushed into the ground with one punch. But from Long Xiaotian’s perspective, he had been forced into the ground by one endless wave after another and was hammered bit by bit into the ground.

This made him spit out a mouthful of blood. His face was the color of pig liver and he closed his eyes tiredly. “I’ve lost; kill me!”

“Two moves, he only used two moves to defeat Long Xiaotian. My god, how is that possible?”

“A warrior in the Earth Martial Arts Realm defeated one in the Sky Martial Arts Realm and only used two moves. Is he still human?”

“He is not a human, definitely not a human. He is a demon, a demon that can exceed battle realms.”

“I’m afraid Long Xiaotian is going to have to give up his title of most talented. This is the most talented in the world. Probably Ye Duxing isn’t even a match for him.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Ye Duxing is a celestial master and her battle method is unfathomable. Although this young man is terrifyingly strong, he might not be a match for Ye Duxing.”

“I look forward to a battle between them. That would truly be a clash of top talents.”

…

The gaze with which the crowd regarded Ding Ning changed. The disdain and contempt from before changed into admiration and marvel. As long as such a demon did not die, to what extent will they grow to in the future?

Some people were already calculating how to get closer to him. Even if they couldn’t be friends, a familiar face was good.

However, when Feng Ni’er suddenly rose and walked toward Ding Ning, everyone extinguished such thoughts and silently pitied him. Although he was unparalleled, he had shone too brightly and did not know when to hold back.

He first offended the Feng family and now he offended the Long family. He had already created a stalemate situation with the Long and Feng families. The chances of his survival were minuscule.

Nipping talent in the bud was one of the things powerful factions liked to do the most. But this was not always the case. Once Ding Ning’s battle prowess was known to the world, the entire ancient martial world would tremble.

Presumably, there were be many powerful factions who do not get along with the Long and Feng family would extend an olive branch to recruit him. If Ding Ning was clever, he would enter one of the factions. Then perhaps he would have the chance to grow up.

But if he refused to be recruited by these powerful factions, death would be his only end.

Thus, after Ding Ning defeated Long Xiaotian in two moves, Ye Duxing’s mind had begun to spin. She wanted to find a way for Ding Ning to survive.

“It was I who offended you. Kill me. I only ask that you spare brother Xiaotian.”

No one had expected Feng Ni’er to suddenly walk out at this time and kneel with a thud and say such things.

“Ni’er…”

Long Xiaotian’s face was bright red and tears blurred his vision as he gave a hoarse cry.

He knew how proud Feng Ni’er was yet she was willing to kneel for his sake. He felt as if a large stone weighed down on his heart and his impression of her changed greatly.

Feng Ni’er’s body stiffened. She hadn’t heard the name “Ni’er” come from Long Xiaotian’s mouth in over a dozen years. Tears ran down her face as she turned her whip-marked and fierce-looking face toward him with a bitter smile.

“Brother Xiaotian, it was my mistake. I relied on my ancestor’s favor and the fact that I was of the Feng family and became overbearing and arrogant. I became disgusting and made you dislike me more and more, and become more and more distant from me. I was arrogant and offended many people. You shouldn’t have to endure the consequences of this. I only ask for death. To be able to hear you call me “Ni’er” one more time, I have no more regrets.”

“Ni’er… don’t, I am willing to accept all consequences on her behalf. Let her go. I beg you.”

Long Xiaotian sobbed his heart out. It was as if the innocent, cute, and kind Feng Ni’er who used to wear princess dresses and followed behind him every day calling “Brother Xiaotian” had returned.

“No, brother Xiaotian. I should sow what I reap, and this has nothing to do with you.”

Feng Ni’er turned her head back and looked at Ding Ning pleadingly. “I beg you to let him go. I will end this myself to quench your anger.”

Ding Ning’s expression became strange and he glanced unconsciously at Luoxue.

Luoxue bit her lip and softly said, “Brother, never mind. Since she knows she was wrong, forgive her.”

Ding Ning took a deep breath and rubbed Luoxue’s head affectionately. Looking at the whip-mark on her face, he shook his head with pain and a bitter smile. “You are also so kind that you’ll be bullied in the future.”

“I have you, then no one can bully me.”

Luoxue held Ding Ning’s arm with a honey-sweet expression and put her head happily on his shoulder as she spoke.

Ding Ning sighed and slanted a glance at Feng Ni’er as he coldly said, “Apologize to my sister and this matter is over. If it happens again, I will not be merciful.”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Feng Ni’er, who thought she was going to die for sure, gave her thanks in shock and did not get up from her knees. Kowtowing three times to Luoxue, she said, “I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Luoxue had never experienced such a thing before and waved her hand in a panic. “Get up quickly. I forgive you.”

Ding Ning stamped on the ground and a large crack appeared. Long Xiaotian took the opportunity to leap out. However, his face was ashen and he seemed very dejected.

The top talent of the ancient martial world had been defeated by a no-name guy and had been defeated by someone whose realm beneath him. In particular, his life had been spared by Feng Ni’er begging on her knees. This made it difficult for him, who was so prideful, to accept. His entire person seemed to have lost energy and was extremely dispirited.

“Brother Xiaotian, today I won unfairly. I used the strength of the treasure to luckily obtain a victory. I eagerly anticipate the day I can test myself against you again with my true strength.”

A shameful expression appeared on Ding Ning’s face as he raised his fists.

The light in Long Xiaotian’s face bloomed bit by bit and he abruptly looked toward Ding Ning. “Did you say you defeated me by using the power of the treasure?”
