Chapter 43: Battle of King-level Experts

A whirlwind erupted from the space between Yang Rui and Li Chang, the strong wind stirred up, and the qi surged. The powerful aura swept over the crowd like waves, causing everyone to be pushed involuntarily to the sides. The onlookers were shocked. What kind of power was this? They hadn't even made a move yet, but they had already created such a momentum.

The two great King-level experts stood solemnly, facing each other in the field. The onlookers were also extremely nervous, afraid to even breathe.

Goblin heavenly King Li Chang slowly raised his left hand to his abdomen, while his right hand stood in front of his chest, and shouted, "Yang Rui, take my palm." His right palm struck out through the air, and his body rushed forward like lightning.

The surging qi emitted a piercing sound as it broke through the air, and the powerful and mighty palm strength seemed to carry the sound of thunder and wind.

Yang Rui didn't dare to be careless and pushed out his right palm. The two palm strengths met in mid-air with a "bang," and swept out towards the sides, forcing the crowd to retreat again.

At this moment, Li Chang appeared in front of Yang Rui like a wisp of smoke, shocking the onlookers. His speed was beyond their imagination.

The two great King-level experts finally collided palms.

"Boom!"

Like thunder, the deafening sound echoed in the sky, causing the eardrums of the people present to go numb, and their ears to temporarily become deaf.

The two experts stepped back three steps in unison, and the green bricks under their feet shattered into pieces. This attack was evenly matched.

Immediately after, Li Chang's figure rushed towards Yang Rui like a ghost.

The sound of "ping-pong" rang out.

The two moved as fast as lightning. As soon as they made contact, they jumped to both sides.

Except for the three King-level experts who didn't participate in the battle, the others could only clearly see the three punches and seven kicks that the two exchanged in an instant. Only a few of the most powerful elders could vaguely understand what happened. The rest of the people didn't even see the fight between the two.

Everyone was extremely disappointed. Who wouldn't want to see the amazing skills of King-level masters? King-level masters were rare to come by, let alone fighting with others. Today was an extremely rare opportunity, but they couldn't see the other party's moves at all. It was really disappointing.

Dugu Baixian was also anxious. He wanted to learn from this opportunity, but he didn't see anything just now. He secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight." He released his extremely powerful Emperor-level divine sense to probe, and the scene of the two King-level experts fighting immediately appeared in his mind. Fortunately, his Emperor-level divine sense was only used for probing, not for attacking, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Two great masters stood quietly in the field, gazing at each other.

Suddenly, Li Chang launched another attack and charged towards Yang Rui like a bolt of lightning. The two clashed their palms again, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the field. This time, they did not just touch and then separate like the previous time. Instead, they entangled like two wisps of smoke, with their speed increasing as they eventually turned into two balls of light and shadow.

At this moment, only the other three great masters and Dugu Baitian could see the battle clearly. The rest of the people were either shocked or confused. It was a rare dragon-tiger battle, but they could not fully appreciate it.

Dugu Baitian was fascinated by the stunning fight between the two great masters. He was completely absorbed by it and intoxicated by their martial arts skills. He deeply understood that when martial arts reached a certain level, the simplest and most effective moves would bring the ideal results. Just like the two masters in front of him, they turned something ordinary into something extraordinary. The simplest moves in their hands could become deadly techniques.

Li Chang and Yang Rui separated again, and Li Chang laughed heartily, "Old man, you have refined your skills in the past few years. The warm-up is over, and I am ready to play for real."

Yang Rui also smiled, "Your skills have also improved compared to before. Come on, I am ready."

Everyone was amazed. The previous battle between the two was just a warm-up, and the real fight had yet to begin. If their warm-up was already so intense, how would the real fight look like? Everyone held their breath and waited for the fight to unfold.

At this moment, the other three great masters waved to the people, indicating them to step back. Everyone was surprised, wondering if this empty space was not enough for the two masters to display their skills. Although puzzled, everyone still took three steps back. Fortunately, the front yard was spacious, and it was originally the training ground for the Li residence's martial arts.

The two great masters faced each other again, staring at each other without blinking. Two powerful energies emanated from their bodies, filling the entire field in an instant. The two were like mountains, resembling two war gods, and their strong fighting spirit shook everyone's minds.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The two roared at the same time and charged towards each other. Like ghosts, they approached each other within three steps in the blink of an eye, and their palms slammed into each other. The deafening sound echoed again, and a faint light shone when their palms collided. The surging energy spread in all directions, causing the green bricks on the ground to fly everywhere.

The crowd was shocked and relieved at the same time. Thanks to the advice of the three King-level masters, they retreated ten meters back. Otherwise, if they were hit by these flying green bricks, it would have been disastrous. Those were bricks that were infused with the pure internal strength of the King-level masters. Once they hit someone, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

The two masters each flew back and shattered the green bricks within a ten-meter radius around them.

The King-level masters were truly extraordinary. Their attacks were so powerful that everyone was impressed and convinced.

Dugu Baitian sighed in the dark, "A master is a master, truly outstanding."

Li Chang shouted, "Again."

The two of them each struck another palm lightning-fast and then took a few steps back. Li Chang had blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and Yang Rui also spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha!" Li Chang laughed, "What a pleasure, I haven't been injured for ten years, and I haven't had such a fight in a long time. Old man, I was being polite to you earlier, saying that your skills had become more refined than before. I didn't expect your skills to have really improved."

Yang Rui said, "Your skills have also improved quite a bit."

Li Chang said, "We are both over seventy years old. If we can't break through the King-level restriction at this age, our skills will start to decline. Let's have a life and death battle today. Maybe our cultivation will have a breakthrough because of it."

Yang Rui said, "Alright, let's have a good fight, a true King-level battle, and use our best moves against each other."

Li Chang said, "Alright, let me learn the Thirteen Great Compassionate technique of the Great Compassion Heavenly King, who is known throughout the world for his name."

Yang Rui replied, "Sure, then let's each use our own unique skills. I will let you experience the Seven Strikes of the Goblin Heavenly King, who is known throughout the world for his name as well."

The two of them looked serious, facing each other from a distance. An atmosphere of solemn killing intent immediately filled the entire scene, causing everyone present to feel shaken.

Gradually, the crowd felt an infinite sadness. Yang Rui's face was full of grief and sorrow, and an endless sense of sorrow radiated from him, causing people with weaker skills to burst into tears.

Dugu Baitian knew that this was the pinnacle of imparting feeling into one's skills, using vast sorrow to stimulate the body's potential.

At the same time, a strange aura emanated from Li Chang, and his eerie eyes shone with purple light.

"First attack of the Great Compassion technique, Compassion for Heaven." Yang Rui's palms suddenly emitted a faint light, and his hands became as white as jade, pure and crystal-clear. The white light from his palms became brighter and brighter, dazzlingly brilliant.

Li Chang shouted, "Goblin King's first strike, Endless Demon Sea." Brilliant purple light instantly filled his palms, extremely eerie.

The three King-level experts who were spectating shouted, "Everyone, retreat as far as you can go!"

Hearing this, everyone understood the severity of the situation. They fled the front courtyard in an instant, climbing over the roofs and walls and hiding far away. The three King-level masters stayed behind until everyone had evacuated before quickly flying away into the distance.

The two rays of light, one purple and one white, seemed to have a life of their own, roaring and charging towards each other, emitting a dazzling light. The two rays of light finally met and did not produce the thunderous roar that everyone expected. After the collision, there was silence.

Then, the purple and white rays of light rolled and roared like two angry dragons, sweeping towards the surroundings. The walls of the courtyard melted and disappeared as quickly as a handful of ice and snow meeting a scorching sun. The courtyard, paved with blue bricks, no longer had a single intact brick, only a thick layer of green soil on the ground. Even the distant main hall made creaking noises and seemed on the verge of collapse.
