557: Chapter 552: Battle of the Strong 557: Chapter 552: Battle of the Strong “Your Inner Strength is quite impressive!”
Ye Tian said calmly, and then with a wave of his hands, the two immediately separated, each retreating two steps backward.
“You, you…”
Having just contested Inner Strength with Ye Tian, Ye Xuong realized that his opponent was no ordinary individual; at least in terms of Inner Strength, Ye Tian was a top-tier expert!
Moreover, after clashing directly with Ye Tian, not a single droplet of sweat was visible on Ye Tian’s face, whereas Ye Xuong himself was gasping for air, drenched in sweat.
Faced with such an opponent, where would Ye Xuong dare treat him with the slightest negligence…
“Boss…”
Jenny looked on with an astonished expression, never having expected that Ye Xuong would end up fighting to a standstill in terms of Inner Strength with someone else.
Usually, as soon as Ye Xuong made a move, if the opponent chose to resist, they would be directly shattered by Ye Xuong’s robust Inner Strength, breaking all their meridians!
“That’s impossible, isn’t it?”
Another subordinate beside Jenny also exclaimed in surprise.
That’s because during the recent direct clash between Ye Xuong and Ye Tian, not only did Ye Xuong fail to gain any advantage, he actually suffered a slight loss…
Just who was Ye Tian’s opponent?
The audience present was also invigorated by Ye Tian’s performance; in the confrontation with Ye Xuong, the chances of victory were not 0%, he had a chance to win!
Just from the fact that Ye Tian could withstand Ye Xuong’s strike, everyone could see Ye Tian’s extraordinary prowess…
“The contest of Inner Strength is over, so is it time for a contest of techniques?”
Ye Tian asked with a smile, his grin infuriating Ye Xuong to the point of fuming with rage.
“You little brat!
You little brat!”
Ye Xuong cursed involuntarily, as since he had made a name for himself, the top Russian fighter had never been so vexed!
The strike he had just delivered had been lethal, yet Ye Tian had dealt with it calmly, making it seem as though he wasn’t fighting Ye Xuong at all, but rather testing Ye Xuong’s strength…
Waves of humiliation washed over him, nearly causing Ye Xuong to grind his teeth to dust!
“Just who are you?
Tell me your name!”
Ye Xuong shouted, asking for Ye Tian’s name.
In this world, those who were stronger than him could be counted on one’s fingers, yet today he had encountered such a formidable and annoying opponent as Ye Tian.
Initially, Ye Xuong had merely thought Ye Tian was some rich kid causing trouble in his casino, so even asking Ye Tian’s name seemed superfluous, but after the confrontation, Ye Xuong realized Ye Tian’s identity was anything but simple.
He must be one of the renowned martial artists in the world!
“My name?
You are not worthy to know it!”
Ye Tian replied with a cold, scornful smile.
Such words only served to infuriate Ye Xuong further; he had asked for Ye Tian’s name only to be rejected.
This humiliation, he felt, could only be repaid with his fists!
“Then go to hell!”
After regaining his breath for a moment, Ye Xuong suddenly charged at Ye Tian.
This time, it was no longer a contest of Inner Strength, but real combat.
Despite Ye Xuong’s bulky frame, his actions were swift, hardly inferior to those experts in Qinggong.
That was also a major reason why Ye Xuong had become the number one fighter in Russia.
His attacks were not only fast but also extremely fierce, unstoppable by any!
Ye Xuong’s fist thundered towards Ye Tian’s face, but Ye Tian casually sidestepped.
Ye Xuong had anticipated Ye Tian’s trajectory, switching his punch to a Palm Force, chopping down hard on Ye Tian’s abdomen.
Unable to evade this time, Ye Tian lightly leaped, twirling in mid-air.
Ye Xuong was no slouch, flipping his palm to strike upward.
Ye Tian, suspended in mid-air, could not dodge, and could only extend his hand to meet Ye Xuong’s.
“Bang!”
Their palms collided, creating a resounding boom on the platform.
Ye Tian was sent flying three to five meters away by the impact of this exchange, and he immediately performed the Thousand Catties Drop technique, landing heavily but steadily on the platform.
Ye Xuong and Ye Tian’s previous move took less than two seconds, and their movements were so fast that the audience and Ye Xuong’s subordinates could hardly see their actions clearly.
After one move, everyone was dumbstruck…
Ye Xuong, as Russia’s number one fighter, was expected to have such skillful and harmonious offense, but Ye Tian was able to spar with Ye Xuong without being at a disadvantage.
Such skill was rare to find in the entire world.
“Who exactly is he?”
Jenny was also taken aback, having initially thought that Ye Tian was just an ordinary martial artist, but never expected Ye Tian to be this formidable.
Since Ye Tian’s arrival at the Underground Black Fist Casino, his performance had been astonishing, and every time Jenny tried to learn more about Ye Tian’s identity, she came up empty-handed.
Now, Jenny was even more curious about who Ye Tian was…
“Go check it out!
There aren’t many renowned martial artists among the Chinese!
If necessary, use the Sky Net ID as well!”
Jenny whispered to a subordinate.
As one of Ye Xuong’s subordinates, her forte was intelligence gathering, and by chance, she had acquired the ID for Sky Net.
However, Ye Xuong had expressly forbidden the use of the Sky Net ID for intelligence gathering, and Jenny wouldn’t resort to Sky Net’s capabilities unless absolutely necessary!
“Yes!”
The subordinate took the order and went off, while Jenny’s gaze remained fixed on the platform.
On the platform above, Ye Xuong was also frustrated by Ye Tian’s reaction; his rapid attacks failed to secure any advantage.
And at a glance, Ye Tian seemed only to defend and not attack, as though he was still holding back…
Ye Xuong, after all, was Russia’s number one fighter, and he simply couldn’t tolerate Ye Tian’s disrespect!
“You brat, use all your strength!”
Ye Xuong haughtily said, curious to see just how formidable his opponent really was.
“All my strength?” Faced with the challenge, Ye Tian just smiled slightly, “Ye Xuong, if I were to use all my strength, I’m afraid your casino would turn into ruins!”
“Hmph!
Boasting!”
Ye Xuong scoffed, his Underground Black Fist Casino was built with steel and reinforced concrete; how could it easily be destroyed into ruins?
“Heh, is that so?”
Ye Tian chuckled softly, then leaped up high, soaring dozens of meters up, almost reaching the ceiling of the hall.
Watching Ye Tian’s movement, Ye Xuong realized this guy’s Qinggong was even better than his own.
In mid-air, Ye Tian changed his technique and slapped down from the skies, targeting Ye Xuong’s forehead.
With the force of a mountain bearing down, Ye Xuong didn’t dare to be careless and raised both hands to collide with Ye Tian’s.
“Boom!”
As their palms met, a fierce sound erupted.
Ye Tian struck with a single palm, but Ye Xuong had to use both hands just barely to defend, never expecting to find a gap in Inner Strength between him and Ye Tian.
But what surprised Ye Xuong even more was that after clashing palms with Ye Tian, his body wasn’t sent flying.
Instead, their palms stuck together, frozen above the ring like stacked Arhats.
Ye Xuong had thought Ye Tian’s Palm Force would only last an instant; he had withstood a palm strike, but he didn’t anticipate that Ye Tian’s Palm Force would continue unceasingly.
Ye Xuong felt a surge of tremendous force bursting from Ye Tian’s palm into his own body, far more robust than when Ye Tian had first swung his hand.
The Palm Force invaded his body, causing Ye Xuong to feel his insides churning.
If he tried to bear it with his body alone, he would likely explode and die.
Fortunately, Ye Xuong had mastered a technique to turn force against itself.
Through the meridians in his body, he diverted Ye Tian’s force out through the soles of his feet.
“Crash!”
With a sharp sound, the marble platform under Ye Xuong’s feet shattered, sending fragments flying.
The audience and Ye Xuong’s subordinates retreated involuntarily; as both Ye Tian and Ye Xuong fought with all their might, the pressure emanating from them became unbearable.
This battle was indeed astonishing!
“Hey!”
Seeing Ye Xuong divert his force, Ye Tian smiled slightly, no longer pouring strength into his palm, but instead flipped and landed steadily on the fractured ring.
“…”
Ye Xuong was at a loss for words; Ye Tian’s power was beyond description.
“What’s the matter?
Scared?”
Ye Tian’s words incessantly struck a nerve in the already-sensitive Ye Xuong.
Cries of amazement rose from the audience; originally, they thought Ye Tian stood no chance against Ye Xuong, but Ye Tian’s strength had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
This young gentleman was so formidable, even Ye Xuong had to yield.
And from the exchange they had just witnessed, Ye Tian held the advantage, with Ye Xuong seemingly unable to gain the upper hand at all!
“Fantastic!
We are saved!”
“This time, even as Russia’s premier fighter, Ye Xuong can’t kill us!”
“What a damn Black Fist Casino, a sore loser’s establishment, it should have been closed down long ago!”
…
The crowd overwhelmingly cheered for Ye Tian, while Jenny and the rest of Ye Xuong’s subordinates didn’t know what to do.
Especially Jenny, who had followed Ye Xuong for so many years and had never seen anyone stronger than him.
Who was this Chinese man on the stage?
Of course, even though Ye Xuong was temporarily at a disadvantage, Jenny still wasn’t worried.
She said to Ye Xuong’s men, “Don’t worry, the boss still hasn’t used his secret technique!”
Perhaps having heard Jenny’s words, the corners of Ye Xuong’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.
Such a subtle move could not escape Ye Tian’s eyes!
“Thinking of using your Ace?”
Ye Tian asked indifferently.
Ye Xuong was taken aback, not expecting that his every action could not evade Ye Tian’s eyes.
But even so, Ye Xuong did not show any fear and coldly asked, “Do you know, up until not so long ago, Russia’s top martial artist was a woman?”
“Hehe, I’m well aware!” Ye Tian replied calmly, “The Rakshasa Queen, right?”
“You actually know!?”
Ye Xuong was again surprised, not expecting Ye Tian to know the title of the Rakshasa Queen.
“Indeed, the Rakshasa Queen!
But I’ve heard she’s dead now, so the strongest martial artist in Russia has become me!
Of course, even before the Rakshasa Queen died, I wouldn’t have been afraid of her because I had already learned the secret to her strength, and I even stole something from her!”
Ye Xuong proudly proclaimed, then once again stirred his body’s force for another attack.
