Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: The Youngest Martial Saint!
Bang!
At the far end of the square, Beihai Venerable took a deep breath, stomped his foot abruptly, and a surge of mighty power burst forth, causing the ground to cave in.
In his eyes, a piercing gaze shot out, and with a shout, his aged and slight body suddenly erupted with volcanic power, darting forward!
Whoosh!
His speed was so fast that white air currents tore through the sky, as if ripping through space.
"Heh."
Xiao Zheng’s eyes showed no signs of fear or hesitation. With a smile, he faced the ferocious figure, stomping heavily on the ground.
Boom!
A burst of explosive power erupted, and at that moment, he too, darted forward.
Bang!
In almost an instant, the two figures collided. Beihai Venerable threw a punch at Xiao Zheng, who didn’t choose to dodge but also threw a punch, their fists crashing together in a straightforward collision.
"Such strong power!"
Both of their bodies wavered, and a similar thought crossed their minds.
But being top martial artists, they naturally wouldn’t lose their rhythm over this slight shock.
The fists separated, and Xiao Zheng retreated a little, then charged at Beihai Venerable ten times more fiercely, delivering a sweeping kick.
"Humph!"
Beihai Venerable snorted coldly, reached out and blocked the kick.
Then his body suddenly sank, making his already thin and short frame seem even smaller.
Bang!
The ground exploded, and his body suddenly shot out, attacking Xiao Zheng’s lower body.
Those watching from afar gasped in shock.
This move was perilous and vicious. As Xiao Zheng’s kick swept out, he attacked Xiao Zheng’s lower body. If he could knock Xiao Zheng down, Xiao Zheng would become a sitting duck, leading to complete defeat.
"Heh."
Xiao Zheng let out a cold laugh. At this critical moment, his body, like a fierce tiger, leapt up suddenly.
In expert battles, the primary opportunity is not to leap, because one cannot leverage power in the air. If a flaw is caught by the opponent mid-leap, it’s all over.
But Xiao Zheng did just that!
Beihai Venerable was also surprised; this surprise attack missed.
And then Xiao Zheng landed.
"Divine Mountain Press!"
Xiao Zheng shouted, and at that moment, his body seemed to become immensely heavy, crashing down towards Beihai Venerable to crush him.
"What a move."
Beihai Venerable couldn’t help but be surprised and then shouted fiercely, using his arm to push off the ground and quickly shifted sideways.
Boom!
Xiao Zheng landed, and vast power whistled out, collapsing the area, sending debris flying and dust rolling.
"Prepare to die."
Just as Xiao Zheng landed, still regaining his strength, it was an excellent opportunity, and so Beihai Venerable boldly launched a counterattack.
He curled his body, astonishingly forming into a ball, rolling toward Xiao Zheng swiftly, almost leaving only an afterimage.
"That’s... Earth Lying Skill!"
Someone exclaimed.
This Earth Lying Skill, although its name sounds unimpressive, is actually a profound cultivation technique with incredibly strong mobility.
Once unleashed, it’s as fast as lightning!
Moreover, its impact is as weighty as a mountain; once it hits a person, it’s like a massive mountain crashing into them.
Xiao Zheng was also surprised, and had no choice, as the fierce light in his eyes intensified.
"Let’s have a clash!"
He shouted and, not dodging, raised a leg infused with boundless power, splitting towards Beihai Venerable like a giant axe cleaving the sky.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, both figures flew backward simultaneously.
Beihai Venerable rolled into a ball, rolled far away before regaining his form, standing up but immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Zheng retreated several steps before barely steadying himself, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
This exchange, swift as lightning, saw countless collisions within an instant, resulting in a stalemate.
"Heh heh, Evil God, worthy of being called the youngest Martial Saint, truly filled with sharpness. That final collision—ordinary people wouldn’t make such a desperate decision."
Beihai Venerable chuckled.
"You’re not bad either."
Xiao Zheng spoke succinctly, yet he recognized Beihai Venerable’s skills.
Indeed, quite strong!
"The initial exchange between the two seems evenly matched. Moreover, it looks like Beihai Venerable is at more of a disadvantage; he’s spitting more blood," the distant crowd started discussing.
"Hehe, you’re wrong; I think Evil God is at a disadvantage," chuckled an elder from Medicine King Valley. "Didn’t you notice? In the exchange, it was always Beihai Venerable attacking, while Evil God was on the defense! From this, he’s already on the losing end."
"Beihai Venerable is an elder, yet still so aggressive, attacking continuously." The elder from Hushan Sect also smirked, "Evil God, being so young and only defending, is ridiculous."
The people from Medicine King Valley and Hushan Sect were all martial arts veterans, prominent figures; their analyses sounded plausible and won many approvals.
Many then cast mocking glances at Xiao Zheng.
"Hehe, even if he’s called the Young King, he still shows fear when facing true veteran experts."
"Evil God is actually not bad, but he’s simply too young. Even if he’s an unparalleled genius, how much could he possibly master at such a young age?"
"The reason Evil God could act fierce before was that the true experts disdained to take a junior seriously. But now that these veteran experts have appeared, he’s bound to cry, hahahaha."
...
Long Qie and Titan, hearing these discussions, burned with anger and couldn’t help but exclaim, "What are these people to dare discuss our Mr. Xiao like this!"
Dugu Baitian and the woman in white paid no attention to such talk.
At this moment, both were doing something similar: staring intently at the square, their gazes filled with some fervor.
Both being Martial Saints themselves, they could see more in the confrontation between equals and were naturally more shocked.
The speed, combat intuition, and adaptability displayed by Xiao Zheng and Beihai Venerable in that instant could be contemplated countless times.
...
Boom!
Suddenly, the square was stirred again after a brief standoff, with both charging forth once more, their clash growing even fiercer!
