Chapter 871, One Punch Shatters the Enemy

Translator: Silavin

*Bang!*

At the moment of collision, the air within the entire duelling platform seemed to detonate. A hurricane swept open, directly lifting the duelling platform’s surface by several metres. Savage cracks also spread like a spider’s web.

However, what was somewhat unexpected was that Qin Yichen’s Martial Soul seemed to possess some peculiar qualities to it. Not only did it not shatter at the first moment, but it actually sustained a brief deadlock.

“Mm?” Within the Giant Lion’s head, Fang Xueming’s figure appeared, vague and illusionary. He was extremely shocked that his offensive had actually been blocked.

Within that fierce phantom manifestation before him seemed to exist an extremely strange devouring power that had actually devoured quite a bit of his attack’s momentum. Moreover, it faintly possessed a tendency to erode the Lofty Sky Giant Lion!

“With just this, you dare to obstruct me? Blow up!” A fierce gleam flashed through Fang Xueming’s eyes. Then he shouted loudly. The radiant Giant Lion immediately erupted with dazzling radiance like the blazing Sun. That type of pressure and fluctuation almost instantly intensified to the extreme.

*Bang! Bang!*

The Giant Lion raised its head and roared. Its colossal body suddenly rammed towards the Taotie Martial Soul’s flank. Instantly, Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble. A terrifying force fluctuation swept open like a storm.

Under the impact of such terrifying force, the Taotie Martial Soul also trembled, actually being directly rammed back dozens of metres. Although it did not collapse, it nevertheless retreated. Behind it, Qin Yichen had already appeared beneath the Giant Lion’s shadow.

“Junior Brother Qin, this is the end!”

The Giant Lion manifestation plunged downward. Fang Xueming’s triumphant voice also transmitted from within. Then the Lofty Sky Giant Lion, its speed undiminished, once more carrying the force to shatter Heaven, fiercely crashed towards Qin Yichen.

*Hah…* Watching the increasingly approaching Giant Lion, Qin Yichen slowly exhaled a breath. Within his eyes, a sharp gleam emerged. The next instant, his arm suddenly swung, his fist blasting forth like an enraged Dragon.

As this punch struck out, World Energy all around seemed to instantly boil.

“Nine stacks of force!” As Qin Yichen’s punch blasted out, the space before him violently trembled. Even the air was compressed and pushed aside, as if forming a vacuum zone.

Watching the might carried by this punch, countless eyes immediately filled with thick shock. Amongst the Outer Sect Disciples, there were still some who had witnessed the scene of Qin Yichen and Yi Buyan fighting. However, Qin Yichen’s full-force strike at that time absolutely did not possess the current terrifying power!

On the side duelling platform, the cold smiles on several Inner Sect youths’ faces also froze at this moment. Under this punch, they seemed to sense the aura of death. They knew that if this punch came towards themselves, even if they exerted their full strength, their end would be extremely miserable.

“He… how can he possess such a powerful Martial Technique!” At this moment, Mu Yanzhen’s pupils also contracted. Within this punch, even she felt a sense of extreme danger!

“Break for me!” Qin Yichen’s punch blasted out. The next instant, it directly seemed to tear open the void. Under the observation of numerous gazes, it appeared before that Giant Lion manifestation, then fiercely bombarded downward.

*Boom!*

As this punch descended, the originally boiling Battle Hall immediately became silent. Countless people held their breath. The might of the Lofty Sky Giant Lion was actually completely suppressed!

“Thud!”

The punch had yet to descend, but on the battered duelling platform below, a fist imprint nearly a hundred metres in size had already cracked open, deeply sunken within.

*Bang!*

Finally, this punch, under the observation of countless gazes, landed upon the Lofty Sky Giant Lion. For a moment, Heaven and earth fell silent. Then, fine cracks slowly manifested on the Lofty Sky Giant Lion under countless shocked gazes.

“Senior Brother, I yield!”

At this moment, with just a release of force, he could directly thoroughly destroy this Giant Lion Martial Soul, then decisively bombard and kill Fang Xueming within. However, this was merely a contest between Fellow Disciples without mortal enmity. Qin Yichen also exercised restraint and withdrew his fist.

The entire arena fell utterly silent…

Upon the gradually fracturing Giant Lion’s head, Fang Xueming’s figure manifested. However, his complexion was extremely pale. He had never imagined that his unreserved move would be defeated so decisively!

Just now, from that punch descended the true power of annihilation. Almost in an instant, it suppressed his offensive.

He could not comprehend how a Mid Stage Martial Emperor could erupt with such terrifying power!

After a brief silence, from amongst the countless Outer Sect Disciples below, earth-shaking cheers suddenly erupted.

One punch!

All it took was one punch to defeat a top ten Inner Sect Disciple below the Martial Emperor Realm!

Such a proud battle record, looking across the entire Sacred Land, was exceedingly rare!

“Is he even Human?” Mu Yanzhen’s heart stirred somewhat. Although Fang Xueming had been somewhat overconfident, defeating him with merely one move, even she would find such a thing difficult to achieve.

The gazes of the entire arena converged upon Qin Yichen. Moreover, those Outer Sect Disciples who had once witnessed the battle between Qin Yichen and Yi Buyan secretly exclaimed in wonder.

They faintly perceived that Qin Yichen had not used his full strength, because that arm guard wreathed in black energy from back then seemed not to have appeared at all!

[Am I just short of the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm…] Qin Yichen’s face carried a light smile as he landed at the edge of the thoroughly battered duelling platform. However, he possessed no joy of victory. Rather, between his brows was a trace of faint disappointment.

Actually, being able to defeat Fang Xueming with one punch just now also involved some element of luck.

The latter was too arrogant, thus somewhat overconfident, fundamentally failing to manifest the most terrifying aspects of the Lofty Sky Giant Lion. Otherwise, he could not possibly have so easily approached, using a point to break the surface, decisively destroying it in one stroke.

*Bang!*

While everyone was still immersed in the shock Qin Yichen brought, suddenly a tremendous explosive sound resounded. Then from another duelling platform, a figure was wretchedly blasted flying out.

“*Siii…* It’s the duelling platform where Li Yuanba is. He also won!?”

Everyone looked sideways. They saw the figure standing on the duelling platform was none other than Li Yuanba!

At this moment, Li Yuanba was somewhat out of breath. That duelling platform had also become thoroughly battered. Everywhere were ground surfaces destroyed by brute force. Clearly, just now the two had experienced a bitter battle.

Within a short hour, of the Inner Sect’s top ten, who had originally come with a crushing attitude, three had actually been defeated!
