Xu Jing stood opposite Chen Fan and stated her name, “Xu Jing.”
Chen Fan nodded and similarly gave his name. “Chen Fan.”
He could tell that Xu Jing was even stronger than Zi Ling from the Wuning Empire, and nearly on par with Xin Wuming. However, he was not afraid at all.
Xu Jing was not a member of Heaven’s Alliance, she did she reveal any killing intent toward him, and he didn’t have a grudge against her. Thus, his attitude was rather warm toward her. He had stated his name as a form of respect.
Xu Jing was not in a hurry to start fighting. With a calm tone, she said, “Getting all the way here isn’t easy. You’re an expert, and you emerged out of nowhere.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, “I aim to reach even greater heights.”
“That is impossible. Your journey ends here.” Xu Jing shook her head.
“We will only know after we try,” Chen Fan said ambiguously.
“You’re very strong. That is for sure. Liu Wuxiang’s death is proof enough for me. However, Liu Wuxiang only recently became an Illusory Core realm expert, whereas I reached this level two years ago.”
Xu Jing continued shaking her head and continued, “You probably already know this, but even a five percent difference in the Illusory Core realm is quite significant. You may have killed Lu Wuxiang, but you can’t withstand more than three moves from me.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, “Three moves? Senior Sister Xu Jing, you sure are confident.”
Xu Jing nodded and said, “That is my confidence in my strength. I will let you in on a little secret. I once fell into a pool of dragon blood. I survived that and benefited from the disaster. It helped me cultivate a true dragon’s bloodline. You saw what happened earlier. That sword cultivator from Floating Cloud Sword Sect lost to me in ten moves. How do you compare to him?”
“Not even close... to me, that is,” Chen Fan said seriously.
Xu Jing remained composed as she retorted, “You’re pretty self-confident.”
Chen Fan smiled candidly and said, “Just like you said, Senior Sister, I’m also confident in my strength!”
An indescribable aura rose from Chen Fan suddenly, making Xu Jing narrow her eyes.
Xu Jing soon said, “Perhaps I underestimated you earlier. Still, you are no match for me. Words may not sway the outcome; the truth will reveal itself in our fight. I only hope your strength matches your claims; otherwise, it would be quite disappointing."
Chen Fan’s expression turned serious, and he replied, “I won’t disappoint you, Senior Sister. I only hope that you won’t feel down when you lose.”
Xu Jing shook her head and said, “In that case, let’s begin.”
Chen Fan nodded, “Alright!”
All of a sudden, Xu Jing’s aura erupted.
It surged like a volcano, unleashing a terrifying hurricane of power, causing the entire arena to tremble.
“Be careful, I’m about to make my move,” Xu Jing warned.
“Just come at me, Senior Sister,” Chen Fan replied, still wearing a smile on his face.
Xu Jing wasted no time and unleashed her cultivation. Her fists were like giant demons splitting mountains. “Demon Subduing Divine Fist, Shaking Heaven and Earth!”
Two meteor-like projectiles hurtled toward Chen Fan. The wind howled, a mournful sound piercing the air as if blades were scraping across his face.
Immediately, Chen Fan sensed a powerful oppressive force rushing over, trying to take him out with a momentum capable of toppling mountains or overturning seas.
“Break!” Chen Fan let out a vigorous shout that shook one's eardrums as he punched out.
Their formidable powers clashed, like Mars colliding with Earth, instantly tearing through the fabric of space. A fierce gale swept out, qi currents resembling surging waves.
“Alright, not bad! Take this, Demon Subduing the Sea!”
Xu Jing stepped forward with her right foot. The air within several meters immediately froze as she quickly appeared in front of Chen Fan, and a fist came flying with terrifying strength.
Chen Fan sensed the explosive strength contained in this punch, comparable to his strength before he reached the Divine Strength realm. It showcased Xu Jing's exceptional physique, typical of a heavenly genius who had inherited a true dragon's bloodline.
Unfazed, he countered with a punch. “Undefeated Against Heaven!”
The punch blossomed with the concept of “undefeated.” His force twisted into a rope and shot out at once, confronting Xu Jing’s head-on.
The two punches collided. A powerful shockwave spread out, almost destroying heaven and earth.
“Senior Sister, that’s two moves already.” Chen Fan’s laughter spread.
Xu Jing remained unmoved. Despite her two unsuccessful strikes, she launched another attack.
“Ravaging Mountain Overthrowing Sea!”
The tremendous force carried the sound of landslides and tsunamis, shaking the space. It tore through the air like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, its momentum unstoppable.
“It’s useless, Senior Sister. Although you came across some fortuitous encounters, what I've gained is no less significant. Your physique is strong, the strongest I've encountered, but compared to mine, it falls short. Break!” Chen Fan attacked, executing another move from Undefeated King’s Fist.
A terrifying force surged forth; Xu Jing’s expression changed slightly. Pushed back repeatedly from the impact, she looked at Chen Fan in surprise, seemingly in disbelief.
The crowd outside was astonished. Their mouths opened wide, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
“Is this for real? Could it be that even Senior Sister Xu Jing is no match for Chen Fan?”
“How is this possible? I must be seeing things!”
“Are you guys sure Senior Sister Xu Jing was the one being pushed back and not Chen Fan?”
Xu Jing looked at Chen Fan with narrowed eyes. “No wonder my bloodline feels restless. You possess a true dragon’s bloodline as well, don’t you? Otherwise, that physique of yours makes no sense.”
Chen Fan only smiled in response.
“Fine. It seems I’ve been underestimating you all along. It’s no wonder you killed Liu Wuxiang so easily. You’re truly very strong. However, I maintain that victory will ultimately be mine! Now, I’m going to use my Three Heavens Golden Ksetra Cultivation Technique.”
“I’m looking forward to it very much.” Chen Fan was still smiling, looking relaxed.
Xu Jing didn’t speak any further. Her gaze narrowed as her primeval force surged, seeming to ignite with fervor. An ethereal golden halo manifested behind her head, exuding a sacred aura.
Xu Jing had obtained the Three Heavens Golden Ksetra Cultivation Technique within an ancient secret realm. It was a middle-earth tier martial art, overwhelming and unrivaled, with a total of nine layers.
Currently, she was using the powers of the seventh layer—Shocking Absolute Heaven. The eighth layer was known as the Primordial Chaos Heaven, and the ninth layer was called the Zenith Heaven.
When the three heavens converged, they could subdue all and become unstoppable.
