Qing Yangzi now couldn’t help but take things seriously.
This young fellow had some real ability. The power unleashed in that last punch was extraordinary. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he might have actually fallen for the young man’s trick.
Outsiders see the spectacle, but insiders see the real skill.
To the common people, naturally, they couldn’t grasp the severity of the situation.
Just now, even the air had distorted slightly from that punch, something that seemed like special effects to the ordinary spectators.
But to some wandering cultivators, it was shocking. If it had been them, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a blow directly.
The power unleashed was simply too overwhelming.
“Again,” Qing Yangzi said, his expression hardening. His robe fluttered, and streams of energy erupted from his body like flowing silk.
This time, it would be a battle purely of magical power, without any magical treasures involved.
“Fine, I’ll see just how capable a Nascent True Immortal at the early stage can be,” Lin Fan roared, stomping one foot. Instantly, his body twisted and blurred.
But when one looked again, there was only an afterimage left at the spot.
Lin Fan’s speed surpassed everything. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared beside Qing Yangzi.
Such speed shocked the crowd watching from outside.
Especially the disciples of Tian Di Sect, who were left speechless and wide-eyed.
They couldn’t even track Lin Fan’s figure.
“So fast.”
…
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Qing Yangzi’s mouth. True Immortality meant matching the heavens in longevity, the pinnacle of cultivation. Even at the early stage, it was far beyond what an Ancient Realm cultivator could possibly challenge.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan surged his inner magical energy outward. A giant dragon of energy swirled around him. With a spread of his ten fingers, the space around him compressed instantly, as he fiercely slammed his palm toward Qing Yangzi.
“Interesting,” Qing Yangzi chuckled lightly. With a flick of his robe, the sleeves seemed to come alive, rotating outward and immediately wrapping around all of Lin Fan’s fingers.
Tearing sounds erupted!
This time, it was a genuine battle. Lin Fan didn’t use any underhanded techniques.
If he had truly unleashed everything, Qing Yangzi would have already been defeated in that first clash.
But this was exactly the kind of fight Lin Fan wanted. He wanted to see just how much he still lacked compared to a True Immortal.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s fingers rotated like sharp blades capable of cutting through anything, slicing through space itself, severing Qing Yangzi’s overwhelming sleeve techniques.
“Old man, show me your real skills, or you will surely lose,” Lin Fan flashed his figure, his battle intent surging. A battle-god formed entirely of his battle will erupted from his body.
“So powerful…” The disciples of Tian Di Sect were shocked beyond belief that this young man could fight the elder to such a degree.
“A fine young man indeed. To have reached the peak of the Ancient Realm at such a young age, he would be considered an extraordinary genius even within Tian Di Sect. But to challenge a True Immortal expert, he’s still not quite there yet.”
“Today, I shall teach you a lesson.”
The moment those words were spoken, Qing Yangzi’s aura suddenly changed. Faintly and mysteriously, a thumb-thick law coiled around his body—the True Immortal Law.
Lin Fan could feel the pressure radiating from that True Immortal Law.
Powerful!
It was a suppression at the fundamental level.
But to Lin Fan, what did it matter?
He roared, his body trembling. His previously calm eyes suddenly turned sharp.
His inner magical energy became fully activated. Even every single cell in his body began to swell, unleashing all the power he could possibly muster.
Feeling the aura radiating from Lin Fan, Qing Yangzi’s heart quivered once again. This power was clearly beyond the peak of the Ancient Realm.
Boom!
Boom!
The faint True Immortal Law suddenly exploded, releasing a vast force. Qing Yangzi raised his hand, forming a fist with his five fingers.
This single punch seemed like a celestial fist. Even the slightest movement contained the laws of heaven and earth. This was the realm that a True Immortal expert could comprehend.
“Boy, the biggest difference between the Ancient Realm and the True Immortal Realm is whether one’s martial arts skills can merge with the laws of heaven and earth, transforming into Daoist techniques. Even a simple punch can carry immense power. This fist is the essence of a True Immortal.”
“True Immortal Fist!”
Qing Yangzi’s body slightly moved. On his fist appeared an image of an old man with white hair. At this moment, the old man seemed like a celestial teacher, instructing all beings on how to comprehend the heavens.
Before the punch even arrived, its vast force had already enveloped Lin Fan. Under this True Immortal power, his entire cultivation felt suppressed.
Although a barrier had been set up around the battlefield, some of this aura still seeped out.
This pressure overwhelmed everyone present, giving them a feeling as if they should kneel down.
“So this is the might of a True Immortal,” Lin Fan suddenly understood, revealing a knowing expression. Then he lightly smiled, “Martial arts skills comprehending the heavens to become Daoist techniques.”
“But it’s nothing special.”
Clang!
Suddenly, Lin Fan burst into laughter. His upright body stood like a sharp sword, firm in the void.
A heaven-piercing sword intent erupted, shaking the sky itself.
At this moment, Qingyangzi also couldn’t help but take things seriously.
This kid has some skills. The power unleashed by that punch just now was extraordinary. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he might have really fallen for this kid’s trick.
Amateurs watch the excitement, while experts watch the technique.
For the common folk, they naturally wouldn’t understand the depth of it.
That punch just now even caused the void to distort slightly. To the common people, it was like watching a special effect.
But for some rogue cultivators, it was utterly shocking. If it were them, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand that punch.
The power unleashed was simply too overwhelming.
“Again,” Qingyangzi’s expression turned serious, his robes rustling as streams of energy burst forth from his body like ribbons.
This duel was purely a contest of spiritual power, without the use of any treasures.
“Good, I want to see what a True Immortal at the initial stage is capable of,” Lin Fan roared, stomping his foot as his body twisted in an instant.
But when one looked again, only an afterimage remained in his original spot.
Lin Fan’s speed surpassed everything. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared beside Qingyangzi.
Such speed left the onlookers outside utterly astounded.
Especially the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, who were completely dumbfounded.
They couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Lin Fan’s figure.
“So fast…”
…
A cold smile appeared on Qingyangzi’s lips. A True Immortal was one with the heavens, their cultivation supreme. Even at the initial stage, it was something no Ancient Realm cultivator could contend with.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan’s spiritual power surged violently within him. A dragon of spiritual energy coiled around his body as he spread his fingers, compressing the void in an instant before slamming it toward Qingyangzi.
“Interesting,” Qingyangzi chuckled lightly, flicking his sleeve. The cuff of his robe seemed to come alive, spinning out and wrapping around Lin Fan’s fingers.
Rip!
This battle was a genuine contest. Lin Fan didn’t resort to any underhanded tactics.
If he had truly unleashed his full power, Qingyangzi would have already been defeated in that earlier exchange.
But Lin Fan wanted this kind of duel. He wanted to see how much of a gap there was between himself and a True Immortal.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s fingers spun like unbreakable blades, slicing through space and time, completely severing Qingyangzi’s sky-covering sleeve.
“Old man, show some real skill, or you’ll lose,” Lin Fan’s figure flickered as his battle intent surged. A deity formed entirely of battle intent erupted from his body.
“So strong…” The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were shocked. They hadn’t expected this young man to push their elder to such an extent.
“Good kid, to have reached the high stage of the Ancient Realm at such a young age. Even in the Heaven and Earth Sect, you’d be considered a top-tier genius. But trying to challenge a True Immortal is still not enough.”
“Today, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qingyangzi’s aura underwent a sudden transformation. A faint, thumb-thick strand of True Immortal law coiled around his body.
Lin Fan, seeing this, could also sense the aura emanating from that True Immortal law.
Overwhelming!
This was suppression at its core.
But to Lin Fan, what did it matter?
Ha!
Lin Fan roared, his body trembling as his previously calm eyes turned sharp.
His spiritual power was fully activated, every cell in his body expanding as he unleashed all the power he could muster.
Qingyangzi, sensing the aura Lin Fan was emitting, felt his heart tremble once more. This power had already surpassed the limits of the high stage of the Ancient Realm.
Boom!
Boom!
The faint True Immortal law shattered, transforming into a vast force. Qingyangzi raised his hand, forming a fist with his five fingers.
This single fist seemed to embody the heavens and the earth. Even the slightest movement contained the rules of the universe. This was the realm a True Immortal could comprehend.
“Kid, the biggest difference between the Ancient Realm and the True Immortal Realm is whether martial arts can merge with the laws of heaven and earth, becoming divine techniques. Even the most ordinary punch can contain immense power. And this punch is the essence of a True Immortal.”
“True Immortal’s Fist!”
Qingyangzi’s body shifted slightly, and on his fist, a white-haired elder seemed to appear. This elder was like a teacher of the heavens, guiding all living beings on how to comprehend the universe.
Before the fist even landed, the vast power had already completely enveloped Lin Fan. Under this True Immortal power, all of his cultivation felt suppressed.
Although barriers had been set up around them, the aura still leaked out slightly.
This aura pressed down on everyone, making them feel as if they wanted to prostrate themselves.
“So this is the might of a True Immortal,” Lin Fan suddenly understood, a look of realization crossing his face before he chuckled lightly. “Martial arts merging with the laws of heaven and earth to become divine techniques.”
“It’s nothing special.”
Clang!
Suddenly, Lin Fan burst into laughter, his straight figure standing tall in the void like a sharp sword.
A towering sword intent erupted, shattering the heavens.
At this moment, the sword intent Lin Fan unleashed was like the emperor of all sword intents. An invisible, sharp sword intent shot through the air, crushing toward the fist intent.
The sharp sword intent cut through everything, destroying all in its path. When it collided with the True Immortal’s fist intent, it cleaved it apart.
“What?” Qingyangzi’s expression froze, a look of shock appearing on his face.
But at this moment, it was already too late.
Lin Fan’s figure moved, disappearing from his original spot in an instant.
Forming a sword with two fingers, he reappeared right in front of Qingyangzi.
Lin Fan’s finger swept horizontally, landing on Qingyangzi’s forehead.
“You’ve lost,” Lin Fan’s voice was calm, as if he were stating something mundane.
Qingyangzi, however, was completely stunned, as if he couldn’t believe it.
He knew that if this kid willed it, his head would be instantly shredded by this sword intent.
“You haven’t entered the True Immortal Realm. How could your technique merge with the laws of heaven and earth?” Qingyangzi’s voice suddenly turned hoarse, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Why? Has no one done it before?” Lin Fan asked.
“No, there have been…”
“Then who are they?” Lin Fan asked.
“Peerless geniuses.”
Lin Fan retracted his finger, jumping off the stage with his hands behind his back as he walked into the distance. “In that case, what’s there to be surprised about? They’re peerless geniuses. Can’t I be one too?”
“Your strength is decent. The Heaven and Earth Sect is worth considering. I’ll go there tomorrow.”
By the time Qingyangzi regained his senses, Lin Fan had already left, surrounded by the Lin family.
“Damn it! I… I…” Qingyangzi’s heart was pounding. He hadn’t expected to lose, and this kid was still so arrogant.
The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were also dumbfounded.
Their elder had lost…
And Qingyangzi would never understand how that last finger had managed to shatter his True Immortal’s Fist.
That sharp sword intent severed everything, unstoppable, splitting the True Immortal fist intent upon contact.
“What?” Qing Yangzi’s expression hardened, revealing astonishment.
But by then, it was already too late.
Lin Fan’s body moved, instantly vanishing from his spot.
His two fingers formed a sword. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Qing Yangzi.
Lin Fan swept his fingers sideways, pointing at Qing Yangzi’s forehead.
“You have already lost,” Lin Fan said calmly, as if stating an ordinary fact.
At this moment, Qing Yangzi was stunned, as if he couldn’t believe what had happened.
He knew that if this young man willed it, his head would be instantly shredded by that sword intent.
“You haven’t entered the True Immortal Realm, how can your skills have merged with the Dao…” Qing Yangzi’s voice suddenly became hoarse, as if he had seen a ghost.
“How? Is it possible no one has done it before?” Lin Fan asked.
“No, not exactly…”
“Then what were they?” Lin Fan continued.
“Geniuses beyond comparison.”
Lin Fan withdrew his finger, directly leaping off the battlefield. Hands clasped behind his back, he walked toward the distance.
“You’re not bad. Tian Di Sect is worthy of my attention. I’ll come tomorrow.”
When Qing Yangzi finally regained his senses, Lin Fan had already left, escorted by the Lin family members.
“Damn! I… I…” Qing Yangzi’s heart pounded. He never expected to lose, and the young man had been so arrogant.
The disciples of Tian Di Sect were also left gaping.
Their elder had actually been defeated…
And Qing Yangzi would never understand—how that final finger strike had been possible.
How could it have shattered his True Immortal fist?
