The Beast Emperor's figure flew backward for several hundred meters, crashing directly into the mountain wall behind him.
The mountain wall instantly cracked, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.
"What a powerful force."
Long Yun pulled himself out of the crater, looking at Xu Nian with a face full of astonishment.
The Tree-man warriors and Guard Zhu Yan on the mountaintop were also taken aback with shock.
They had originally thought Xu Nian couldn't possibly block that punch.
But the result was Beast Emperor being blasted away by Xu Nian's fist.
It must be said, Xu Nian's striking speed was indeed very fast.
"Brother Xu Nian, it seems I truly underestimated you, that punch just now was really fast," Long Yun said with genuine admiration as he looked toward Xu Nian.
A trace of surprise also appeared in Xu Nian's eyes.
His punch's power was no less than that of a One-star Battle Emperor Expert.
Yet, without deploying any Spiritual Energy for defense, the Beast Emperor managed to take the punch without any issue.
It must be said, the physical strength of the Dragon Clan was indeed terrifyingly formidable.
"You should use your full strength; otherwise, you simply cannot defeat me," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He knew that Long Yun had not used his real strength.
That previous punch was clearly Long Yun probing.
Xu Nian had seized this opportunity, which allowed him to successfully land a hit.
"You've seen through it, but since that's the case, there's no need for me to hold back in battle. Haha, Brother Xu Nian, let me show you the true robustness of the Dragon Clan's physical strength," Long Yun laughed heartily.
With a step forward, his figure burst forth in an instant.
In that previous punch, he had been afraid to use too much force and injure Xu Nian severely, so he only used fifty percent of his power.
Now it seemed that his concerns were entirely unwarranted.
Xu Nian's physical strength was clearly stronger than he had imagined.
Of course, even so, he still did not think Xu Nian was his match.
Long Yun's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was startled.
This time, Long Yun's speed was actually twice as fast as before.
Before Xu Nian's surprise had dissipated, he felt an aura of terror rushing towards his face.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Nian quickly crossed his arms in defense against Long Yun's punch.
A muffled sound echoed.
Xu Nian felt a terrifying force coursing through his arms.
The force was so intense that it made his arms go numb.
And his entire body was sent flying backward rapidly under this terrifying power.
"Haha, how was that for attack speed? Watch the leg!"
Long Yun laughed uproariously as he stomped forward.
His foot stepped directly on air.
The air exploded, and his figure followed the recoil to rapidly catch up with Xu Nian.
He raised his leg for a powerful sweeping kick.
The whip kick swept through the air, creating a terrifying sonic boom, striking viciously towards Xu Nian's face.
Xu Nian did not dare to take it lightly and quickly called upon the strength from his waist to launch a punch against the incoming whip kick.
Fist and leg collided.
An explosive noise burst forth.
Xu Nian felt another intense numbness in his arm.
His figure swiftly retreated, stumbling, nearly falling to the ground.
Long Yun, hit in the leg by Xu Nian's punch, rolled in the air before forcefully landing on the ground.
In this round of attacks, Long Yun held a slight upper hand.
The Tree-man warriors and Guard Zhu Yan standing on the distant mountain peak were stunned by what they saw.
This Xu Nian sustained the Beast Emperor's two moves, ending up with only a slight disadvantage?
This was something even the previous Seven-star Demon Emperor hadn't managed to accomplish.
Yet Xu Nian had done it.
It was clear that Xu Nian's physical strength was truly terrifyingly powerful.
A One-star Body Emperor, and a human at that.
To be able to fight on a physical level against a Nine-star Demon Emperor Level True Dragon Demon Beast.
It truly is an incredibly shocking affair.
"Haha, exhilarating, it's been so long since I've felt this exhilarated, Brother Xu Nian, you really surprised me. It seems I truly underestimated you," Long Yun laughed heartily, his eyes filled with excitement.
Xu Nian, however, rubbed his swollen arms, looking at the Beast Emperor before him, a fighting spirit also rising within the depths of his eyes.
The recent exchange had also caused the blood in the depths of his heart to start boiling, bit by bit.
"Hmph, senior brother, if you dare to hurt Brother Nian's hair, I'll go complain to Master," Yann Xi's voice came from above the mountain peak.
Long Yun, upon hearing this, was immediately speechless.
After all, he was her senior brother; even if she sided with Xu Nian, did she have to be so blatantly biased?
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian also found it funny in his heart.
"Brother Xu Nian, did you hear that? I'm offending Yann Xi, my little junior sister, by sparring with you. I hope you can bring me more surprises," Long Yun said to Xu Nian with a smile.
"I won't disappoint you," Xu Nian shook himself.
His fist slowly clenched, and the veins and muscles on his arms instantly bulged.
Xu Nian's eyes also became incredibly sharp.
With a loud shout from Long Yun, he charged toward Xu Nian once again.
Xu Nian saw Long Yun rapidly approaching and this time did not opt for passive defense.
Instead, he also took a step forward, charging towards Long Yun.
"Good, take my punch!"
Long Yun roared and threw a punch directly.
As his fists swung, a dragon's roar emanated from his body.
Xu Nian knew this was the effect of surging blood.
And the fist wind that hit his face felt like mountains bearing down.
Xu Nian curled his lips into a slight smile, and the punch, already Gathering Momentum, blasted out without any hesitation.
A loud noise erupted.
The ground under Xu Nian and Long Yun's feet both suddenly sank.
The entire ground collapsed with a thunderous crash.
A terrifying airwave turned into a storm, sweeping across the surroundings.
At that moment, a figure suddenly flew backward in the air.
Everyone on the mountain top was shocked to see this scene,
Because the figure that flew backward was none other than Long Yun.
"How is this possible?" Long Yun was also stunned.
That punch, that exchange.
He felt a terrifying force transmit from his fist up to his chest,
And then violently burst in his chest cavity.
Then his body uncontrollably flew backward.
He didn't understand, how had Xu Nian's strength become so strong, so suddenly?
While Long Yun was in shock,
Xu Nian's figure, like a ghost, appeared directly behind Long Yun.
Long Yun was shocked and quickly tried to turn and defend.
But it was all too late.
Xu Nian's knee strike hit Long Yun squarely in the back.
Long Yun's body immediately flew up into the sky.
Xu Nian pushed off the ground and instantly rose above Long Yun.
"My apologies, Brother Long Yun!"
With a cold smirk, Xu Nian followed with a heavy Cannon Hammer on Long Yun's abdomen.
Long Yun instantly plummeted to the ground like a Meteorite, crashing into a deep pit.
The Tree-man elder and the Guard Zhu Yan on the mountain were dumbfounded.
Was Xu Nian truly dominating the Beast Emperor?
However, Yann Xi, standing aside, was excitedly shouting, "Well done, Brother Nian is amazing!"
Long Yun, lying in the pit, spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard her words.
