Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Could It Really Be Him?

"Die!"

Gu Huashan’s heart was indeed filled with extreme killing intent, having harbored resentment for not winning the championship ten years ago, believing everyone mocked him and looked down on him.

Now seeing a young lad around twenty years old daring to ignore him, those odd feelings in his heart were undoubtedly magnified countless times, and immediately erupted.

As Gu Huashan unleashed an aura so overpowering, some nearby spectators suddenly found themselves unable to breathe, their faces turning horrified as they fell back several meters.

"That boy is finished!"

Sensing this aura, a peak Earth Bending Realm expert immediately predicted, because no matter how he looked upon the roughly-clad boy, he never considered him a Heavenly Rank expert.

Simply because Yun Xiao was too young, at such an age, even the top talents of the four super forces would only be muddling through in the early middle stages of the Earth Bending realm.

The roughly-clad youth was unfamiliar to them, and although he had easily broken Xu Ban’s wrists earlier, Xu Ban was only at the late Seeking Origin Realm, which the Earth Bending experts could also accomplish.

Under Heaven Rank, all are ants; this is not mere idle talk.

At least the people present knew clearly that on the Tenglong Continent, only the recently rising talented demon from Refining Cloud Mountain could withstand a battle with the Third Realm of Heavenly Rank while at the Third Realm of Earth Rank without defeat.

Moreover, even Yun Xiao could only contend with some early middle-stage Floating Life Realm experts at half-step Heavenly Rank, while the Huashan Old Monster before them was genuinely a Peak Floating Life Realm super strong individual.

With such disparity in strength, if the youth could still escape unscathed, it would likely greatly shake the cultivation beliefs of the many observing cultivators.

However, the spectators had no idea that the roughly-clad youth standing not far ahead was the recent demon-like genius of Refining Cloud Mountain, whose fame was as bright as the sun.

Nor did they know that Yun Xiao at this moment was ten times stronger than the rumors they had heard, no longer restrained when facing Heavenly Rank experts on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield or Impermanence Island.

Perhaps Yun Xiao would still need to avoid the sharp confrontations with Lingyun Realm experts, but a Peak Floating Life Realm Huashan Old Monster did not reach the threshold to force Yun Xiao to retreat.

Furthermore, this place was the territory of Refining Cloud Mountain, and Yun Xiao, as a disciple of Refining Cloud Mountain, would not let the Huashan Old Monster act so wildly. On either public or personal grounds, he had to step forward.

Boom!

A mighty force erupted, and whether in the hearts of the Huashan Old Monster’s duo or the spectators, under this strike, the roughly-clad youth seemed doomed.

Although this was a transaction site where killing was forbidden, the Huashan Old Monster was no ordinary figure; if the roughly-clad youth truly were an obscure nobody, surely the Meridian Refining Master Guild’s bigwigs wouldn’t readily offend such a major player?

"Hmm?"

Yet just as everyone thought the youth would die, amidst rampant energy waves, a lean figure remained standing upright, seemingly unaffected by the Huashan Old Monster’s attack.

In truth, Yun Xiao’s greatest strength now was not his Meridian Qi cultivation at middle-stage Floating Life Realm, but an incomparable physical power.

Firstly, the Huashan Old Monster, conceited of his formidable ability, believed there was no need to exert full force to kill a young lad, using only half his strength in that strike.

Secondly, Yun Xiao’s physical strength completely surprised the Huashan Old Monster, leading to Yun Xiao’s serene demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

"Impossible!"

Such a scene not only left the spectators open-mouthed but also made the Huashan Old Monster exclaim, his voice filled with astonishment.

"Good kid, you’ve been hiding your strength!"

However, Gu Huashan, being a Heavenly-grade Meridian Refining Master, possessing Heavenly Rank soul power, sensed the other’s Meridian Qi cultivation, and immediately spoke in a low tone with a somber expression.

"Boy, who exactly are you?"

Sensing Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi cultivation had reached the middle-stage Floating Life Realm, the Huashan Old Monster’s expression turned uncertain, as a young Heavenly Rank expert like this had never entered his imagination.

But Gu Huashan did not think in the direction of Yun Xiao, instead speculating whether the boy might have also been hiding his age while hiding his strength.

"Weren’t you going to kill me? Continue then!"

Without much thought, after easily bearing the powerful strike, Yun Xiao’s confidence surged, and he coldly challenged, undoubtedly further provoking the Huashan Old Monster.

"I don’t care who you are, today you must die!"

A violent aura erupted from Gu Huashan’s body, this time he unexpectedly used eighty percent of his power. After all, he had the cultivation of the Floating Life Realm Peak, and he couldn’t believe that with a difference of two small realms, he still couldn’t handle this?

Moreover, after the previous strike, Gu Huashan felt an extreme threat from the other party. If the opponent was truly so young, then given time, he would inevitably become a formidable enemy to his Flower Mountain Sect.

Since they had already become enemies, Gu Huashan could no longer harbor any mercy. This strike was delivered in anger, and instead of using Meridian Qi to attack, his body struck out, furiously assaulting Yun Xiao.

It seemed that Gu Huashan earlier did not realize the opponent’s physical strength, he only assumed the opponent used an unknown technique or Meridian Technique which resolved his previous casual strike.

With such a magical technique in possession, Gu Huashan really feared that another Meridian Qi attack would be easily neutralized.

As a strong expert at the Floating Life Realm Peak, if he couldn’t handle a young boy for a long time, it would be a huge blow to their Flower Mountain Sect’s reputation.

"This old bloke is indeed stupid enough!"

In contrast to Gu Huashan, when Yun Xiao saw that the opponent actually abandoned the Meridian Qi attack which could crush him, and instead used physical strength to attack, a joyful smile involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh!

So, in the next moment, Yun Xiao gently spun half a circle, then lifted his right leg lightly, finally colliding heavily with Gu Huashan’s right palm, producing a loud noise.

Bam!

As this loud noise rang out, the crowd almost collectively dropped their jaws.

Because in this clash, the coarse-clothed teenager did indeed retreat two steps, but the Floating Life Realm Peak Gu Huashan’s figure also swayed slightly and ended up taking a step back.

Although Yun Xiao retreated one more step, at this moment, obviously no one paid attention to these details; this clash of physical strength ended up being a stalemate?

It was something no one could have expected beforehand; they only knew that Huashan Old Monster was a strong expert at the Floating Life Realm Peak, such strong figures against a boy around twenty years old, shouldn’t it be like crushing dry weeds?

Who knew that the straightforward face-to-face clash between the two would end up as evenly matched?

Until now, some mindful individuals finally realized that the coarse-clothed teenager might not be the Earth-rank cultivator they imagined.

"Could he also be an expert at the Third Realm of Heaven Rank, this..."

Considering this possibility, a ridiculously absurd thought surfaced in the hearts of many onlooking cultivators, even they themselves found it hard to believe.

"If he truly is an expert at the Third Realm of Heaven Rank, then across the entire Tenglong Continent, there might only be that one person!"

A middle-grade Meridian Refining Master took a deep breath, speaking softly, yet those cultivators nearby were thoughtful, their expressions changed abruptly.

"Could it really be him?!"

Once a preconceived notion took root in their minds, everything seemed more and more fitting; a slender figure, coarse clothing, not too old, but possessing such formidable strength, possibly already reached the Third Realm of Heaven Rank.

At this moment, the scene suddenly plunged into a bizarre silence, those who guessed Yun Xiao’s identity had their mindsets altered tremendously.

Considering this possibility, their gazes toward Gu Huashan and his disciple turned gleeful; if among the younger generation on the Tenglong Continent, there is someone who truly disregards Huashan Old Monster, perhaps it’s none but Yun Xiao.

Unfortunately, Gu Huashan, who didn’t gain any advantage in this strike, had no interest in thinking about other matters, he just felt his old face being slapped soundly by the coarse-clothed boy opposite.

He, a dignified strong expert at the Floating Life Realm Peak, a Heaven-grade Meridian Refining Master, couldn’t even handle a youngster around twenty years old, where would Gu Huashan put his face?

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Therefore, in the next moment, a rich Meridian Qi aura emerged from Gu Huashan’s body, and this time, he wouldn’t hold back in the slightest; if he truly couldn’t handle the opponent, perhaps Gu Huashan would become a laughingstock in other people’s conversations.

Moreover, after the second clash, Gu Huashan became even clearer about the threat posed by this coarse-clothed youth; if he couldn’t completely eliminate him today, losing face would be a minor issue, their Flower Mountain Sect might face destruction.

Facing an imminent exertion of full strength by a strong expert at the Floating Life Realm Peak, even Yun Xiao didn’t dare to be careless, the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique flowed within him, faint Five Elements aura began to emanate.

It seemed Yun Xiao was already prepared to invoke the power of the Five Elements Ancestor Veins at any time. If this old fellow pursued relentlessly, he wouldn’t mind eradicating the so-called Flower Mountain Sect completely from both master and disciple.
