Chapter 78: Show Off One's Power!

  Ye Wen saw Wang Shu's incoming punch and seemed to have expected it, his expression unchanged, his body unmoving, but his hands moved swiftly, using the Mian Zhang technique to block the punch, then immediately counterattacked with a palm strike.

  Coming and going is the philosophy that Ye Wen believes in. Since Wang Shu has already made a move, Ye Wen naturally doesn't need to be polite anymore. The first palm was just the beginning, but it wasn't the end. As his palms flew back and forth, he immediately followed up with a set of linked palm strikes, still using the soft palm technique. His strength was concentrated but not released, his palm movements connected, one palm after another, causing Wang Shu to become flustered as he rushed forward.

  But Ye Wen's body remained still, his hands clapping together in a slow yet incredibly fluid motion, each palm strike flowing seamlessly into the next as if they would never end.

  Instead of attacking King Shu, he was busy blocking Ye Wen's continuous palm strikes from the start, and Ye Wen's seemingly light and gentle slaps always carried a strong palm force, shaking King Shu's arms and making his body involuntarily retreat backwards.

  The two had only just exchanged blows, and the crowd in the square saw Ye Wen's palm movements not stopping but instead getting fiercer and fiercer. Wang Shu, who was originally shouting loudly to teach Ye Wen a lesson, took step after step back, as if he might be slapped by Ye Wen's palms at any moment.

  At this time, even if it was someone with poor eyesight, they could see that Wang Shu had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. What surprised them was that the master of Zhengquanmen, who was originally known as the number one expert in Book Mountain, was actually beaten back continuously by Ye Wen after just one exchange of blows, as if he didn't have any strength to fight back at all. This left some people who were expecting a fierce battle between dragons and tigers utterly astonished.

  Compared to others, Wang Shu felt the enemy's moves more clearly in the arena. Ye Wen's palm movements were continuous and unrelenting, and every time they clashed with his fists, a powerful force would burst out. Moreover, Ye Wen's palm strikes seemed slow and gentle, but had a bewildering effect. After just a few exchanges, Wang Shu was already secretly suffering.

  King Shu had long heard Zhang Gui say that this young man's internal strength was extremely thick, and his fists and feet were also quite exquisite, but at the time he didn't think much of it.

  After inquiring about Zhang Gui's defeat at the hands of Ye Wen in detail, he was only slightly concerned in his heart, thinking that Ye Wen's kung fu might be similar to his own, or even slightly better. However, he was confident that with his rich experience in dealing with enemies, he should be able to gain the upper hand when fighting Ye Wen.

  He came to the Shu Mountain Sect today, originally he just wanted to strike a blow at the Shu Mountain Sect's prestige, after all this sect has been too prominent recently, and had some conflicts with his Zhengquan Gate before. If they continued to ignore them, it would likely make the Shu Mountain Sect even more powerful. Of course, if the situation allowed, he wouldn't suggest directly turning against the Shu Mountain Sect or even destroying this sect.

  But he didn't expect that the development of things would always be beyond his expectation, and even when he found out that things couldn't be done and wanted to retreat, Ye Wen unexpectedly blocked them directly and led to this fight.

  What surprised him even more was that he had almost no power to fight back against this young man, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves by now, except for the first punch which was his own attack, for the rest of the time he was completely on the defensive, without any chance of counterattacking.

  After being suppressed and beaten for a while, the proud Wang Shu only felt a suffocating feeling, his heart burning with anger, deciding to make a desperate move. Letting out a loud roar, he prepared to take Ye Wen's palm head-on, then seized the opportunity to throw a punch back at him.

  He was determined to turn the tide of this vicious situation, confident that with his own fist strength, as long as he hit Ye Wen, he could severely injure this young man on the spot.

  This punch not only brought out the most powerful move in Dazhengquan, but also mobilized all the internal force in his body to concentrate on this blow. Wang Shu was clearly trying to finish the fight with one move.

  It's just a pity that his thoughts didn't escape Ye Wen's eyes.

  Ye Wen found that as his internal strength improved, his senses became more acute. When Wang Shu's eyes moved, Ye Wen noticed it immediately. As soon as he let out a loud roar, Ye Wen understood that this guy was going to go all out.

  He accurately caught the incoming fist, and his hands immediately changed. He didn't withdraw the palm that was slapped towards Wang Shu, but instead took a quick step forward, shortening the distance between the two by several points, while his palm speeded up to slap Wang Shu's chest. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for any reaction from the opponent, he used the rebound force to retrieve both palms and immediately slapped them to his left side.

  Wang Shu only heard a series of slapping sounds, first his chest hurt, the air and blood in his body churned, and then the internal energy of the continuous operation was affected. His fist slowed down involuntarily, and just because of this slowness, Wang Shu's fist didn't hit Ye Wen, but instead, after a pain in his chest, almost without any interval, the side of his fist, wrist, and forearm were slapped continuously.

  The force was not great, but it all hit the right spot, and the first slap that hit himself happened to be on top of Tan Zhong. The few slaps added up to directly shock Wang Shu's internal energy into a mess. The right fist swung out had lost its original momentum, let alone because Ye Wen's few slaps had already changed direction, and were no longer threatening at all.

  But that's not all, Ye Wen continuously resolved Wang Shu's attack with three palms, and then didn't let go of the opportunity to take advantage of his opponent's open door without any defense. His palm movement didn't stop, and he took advantage of the momentum to slap Wang Shu's abdomen again.

  Wang Shu was attacked continuously, his energy and spirit in disarray, and his reaction also slowed down a lot. By the time he came to himself, Ye Wen's attack had arrived again.

  At this time, the two were quite close, and the big positive fist that opened up could not be played at all. Fortunately, Ye Wen was slow for half a step because of the continuous attack, and Wang Shu immediately made another proud move with a small positive fist to barely hold off the palm that attacked his abdomen, and took advantage of the momentum to hit Elbowing towards Ye Wen's chest.

  In fact, Wang Shu's strike didn't use much force at all; he just wanted to use this attack to force Ye Wen to retreat. He was now wary of Ye Wen's set of palm techniques that came out in a continuous stream, not giving people any chance to react, and for the time being, he could only force his opponent back before thinking of a way to counterattack.

  Naihe Ye Wen didn't give him the opportunity at all, and simply retreated slightly and dodged to one side, barely avoiding this attack. At the same time, his hand movements changed, and what originally looked like a very leisurely move suddenly became fierce and powerful, even following up with a closed-fist strike that directly rushed towards Wang Shu's shoulder.

  Ye Wen's fist was full of momentum as it shot out, its power astonishing. The fist had not yet arrived, but Wang Shu already felt a pressure coming from the front of his shoulder.

  Yè Wén's punch was because the action was too big, and before that, he had dodged Wang Shū's elbow and slightly turned to the side, giving Wang Shū reaction time. Immediately, it was a sideways movement, dodging Yè Wén's fierce punch.

  But just barely dodged, only to find that Ye Wen actually borrowed the fist's momentum to charge forward, and his footwork was not slow either. Following that was a sweeping leg rushing towards his own lower three roads. Wang Shu believed that if he had reacted or sensed it a little slower, he would have been tripped to the ground by Ye Wen immediately.

  If that's the case, as the master of Zhengquan Gate, he would have lost all face and probably wouldn't be able to stay in Shushan anymore! However, such a fierce attack seemed too naive to hit Wang Shu. He immediately jumped up and dodged over Ye Wen's body, avoiding Ye Wen's kick.

  It was just a jump, and Wang Shu had a bad premonition. He always felt like he had jumped into a trap, but before he could react, he felt a shock in his back, and a surge of energy burst through his body, impacting all the meridians. As the energy exploded, Wang Shu felt like a kite that had lost control, flying forward in mid-air for a long distance, before crashing onto the hard stone ground with a loud thud.

  "Pffft!"

  King Shu, who had already felt a sweetness in his throat while still in the air, was shocked again when he landed, and could no longer hold back, spitting out a large mouthful of blood as if it were free, and even after spitting out a large mouthful, he vomited another one.

  Wang Shu found that there was a surge of energy inside him, constantly surging left and right, stirring up his already somewhat out-of-control internal energy into a tangled mess. The powerful energy even directly injured his meridians, and the internal organs were also affected.

  Before he could carefully examine the situation inside his body, another mouthful of blood spurted out. Wang Shu knew that this time he was likely to have suffered a rather serious internal injury. Losing all his cultivation would be considered light; it's not impossible that he might even lose his life here.

  He couldn't understand how that young man had such a powerful palm, he had already guessed that Ye Wen was attacking his back after he jumped up, but he couldn't understand why this move not only had strong palm strength, but also brought such a troublesome aura. To achieve this, one must be a true master with an extraordinary inner skill and technique, he didn't know how this broken place like Shu Shan could have such a master.

  "What's the origin of this Ye Wen?"

  Unfortunately, he couldn't ask that question anymore. Covering his chest, King Shu spat out fresh blood and was unable to speak at all. He couldn't even get up and lay on the ground in a very sorry state.

  At this time, Ye Wen had already stood up with his hands in his sleeves, coldly watching Wang Shu who was struggling to get up from the ground. He wasn't surprised that Wang Shu ended up like this; those last few moves earlier, he suddenly changed his technique and used the sword moves of the Three Immortals' Sword of Taking Life, only because he didn't have a sword in hand, so he had to make some changes.

  For example, the first punch that Wang Zhiyuan threw was actually a move from Taizu Changquan, and the one that forced Wang Shu to jump up immediately after was nothing special, just something he came up with on the spot according to the situation.

  The last counterattack, the palm and the Quanzhen swordsmanship did have similar moves, but they were slightly different. However, it was very similar to the final blow of the Three Immortals Sword. The only difference was that the final blow of the Three Immortals Sword was a direct backhand thrust, directly stabbing the opponent to death.

  Ye Wen had no sword in his hand, and relying solely on his palm strength would not have resulted in such a powerful blow. However, Ye Wen possessed the Purple Mist Skill, and at the moment of the final strike, he activated it, sending a concentrated blast of energy into Wang Shu's body.

  "You little scamp, you're lucky I didn't kill you on the spot! It's all because my Purple Mist Skill hasn't reached its full potential yet!"
