Chen Tian and Han Yun clashed fiercely. As the dust settled, they continued to exchange blows. In a moment of urgency, Chen Tian unleashed a full swing. Han Yun, seeing the direction of Chen Tian's attack, transformed his fists into palms. Chen Tian's punch was seized firmly by Han Yun. Not waiting for Han Yun's next move, Chen Tian spun his body like a drill. Seeing this, Han Yun reluctantly released his grip.
He swung his fists, fiercely resisting the approaching drill. Before Chen Tian's human drill, sparks flew from Han Yun's hands. Chen Tian's drill pierced the sky. Han Yun realized he couldn't remain passive. He gathered strength in his arms, instantly lifting his left leg. With a resounding boom, Han Yun kicked Chen Tian's drill flying into the air. Chen Tian stabilized himself mid-air and landed slowly. The moment he touched the ground, he lunged at Chen Tian, showing no intention of giving him an opening. Chen Tian saw through Han Yun's intentions.
As Han Yun attacked, Chen Tian flickered, easily evading Han Yun's punches. Han Yun was shocked by such a quick reaction. Most cultivators would find it difficult to evade in such a situation. Despite this, Chen Tian reacted, and Han Yun's punches missed. Chen Tian extended his arms, grabbing Han Yun's arms. Han Yun inwardly cried out, "Not good!" Chen Tian's palms gripped Han Yun's arms tightly, and with a swing, Chen Tian flung Han Yun away. Han Yun stabilized himself in the air and was about to land when Chen Tian's figure appeared behind him, as if he had been waiting there all along.
Gathering strength in his arms, he delivered a palm strike. The earth-shattering palms seemed to shake mountains, surging like ocean waves, intending to swallow Han Yun. Seeing Chen Tian's palms, Han Yun had no time to attack and could only defend passively. He crossed his arms, and Chen Tian's palms struck them. Han Yun's arms vibrated, and he was forced back more than ten steps. In this exchange, Chen Tian gained the upper hand.
Han Yun looked at Chen Tian, gaining a new understanding of him. The opponent's combat experience was terrifying, as evident from the earlier exchange. Han Yun wasn't sure if he could defeat the opponent, but cultivators feared no foe. He refused to believe he wasn't Chen Tian's match. Chen Tian was at the same level as him, and if he fought steadily, he would surely win. Unfortunately, Han Yun was mistaken. At the same cultivation level, Chen Tian had never lost, and with Chen Tian's calculative ability, everything was under control.
Han Yun trembled, his body radiating a glow, covered in a silver sheen that formed armor around him, directly enhancing his physical defense. Chen Tian saw Han Yun in this state and knew he was serious. The previous fight was merely a warm-up, a phase where both sides understood each other's strength. Chen Tian had some understanding of Han Yun. As expected of a body-refining cultivator, Chen Tian's attacks might be difficult for even cultivators of the same realm to withstand. Dual cultivation of martial arts and body refinement greatly enhanced his combat prowess. Although Han Yun appeared to be at the fourth realm, he could actually withstand cultivators at the fifth realm.
However, Chen Tian still had a slight edge. Chen Tian was confident of victory. Han Yun adopted a stance, appearing like a feral beast. He took a step, and the ground trembled. With that step, lava flowed from beneath, and small cracks appeared on the ground, from which the lava trickled. This display showed a mastery of strength. Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes grew serious. Han Yun's strength had increased by at least one level. Chen Tian dared not be negligent and prepared to defend against Han Yun's onslaught.
Han Yun's figure turned into a beam of light, appearing before Chen Tian in the next second. He swung his fists, and a terrifying vortex formed around them. The vortex, composed of air, was a manifestation of his body-refining realm. Air vortices gathered at his fists, forming fist winds. Before the person arrived, the fist wind would wound, a testament to his fearsome fists.
Facing these two fists, Chen Tian's body was covered in a layer of energy armor, greatly enhancing his defense. He extended his fists and swung them, this time imbued with the power of the Five Elements. Five-colored light enveloped his fists. Fist met fist. Chen Tian dared not compete in pure physical strength, as Han Yun's physical prowess was superior at this stage.
Rumbling!
The shockwave swept out. The impact couldn't break through the surrounding energy barrier. The energy screen formed by everyone concealed the battle, and some even used formations to hide everything that was happening. This was a legacy, and they couldn't possibly let more people obtain it. Everyone present was waiting for the legacy.
More people meant more risk. No one was willing to share the legacy. Han Yun was merely their vanguard, testing Chen Tian's capabilities. They had already gauged Chen Tian's strength in this battle.
Chen Tian and Han Yun exchanged blows, their fists colliding over a hundred times. Chen Tian began to retreat. He looked at Han Yun, who had gained the upper hand. Han Yun was inwardly astonished, even doubting if his strength had regressed. He was using seven-tenths of his power and only had a slight advantage. It was unbelievable. He could only attribute it to Chen Tian's formidable strength. However, this was good. Facing a powerful opponent, his fighting spirit surged, and he increased the power in his fists by a notch.
Chen Tian staggered back three steps, his arms trembling. He forcibly suppressed the tremor in his arms. Chen Tian and Han Yun faced each other. Han Yun praised, "Youngster, I must say you are my equal. I admire you. To be my equal at the same realm is something to be proud of. Unfortunately, you still have to hand over the legacy. If you do, I can spare your life."
"The legacy? Do you believe me if I say that scroll has no legacy?"
"Kid, you're bluffing me. How could there be no legacy? The legacy scroll contains at least one type of inheritance. Han Yun, don't just stand there, capture him!"
A voice came from the rear. Han Yun roared, "Shut up! This is my battle time. Don't you think I know what you're planning? I don't need your orders."
"Han Yun, you..."
The cultivator was surprised by Han Yun's retort. Han Yun looked at Chen Tian and said calmly, "Kid, I admire your strength. If you defeat me, I will stand by your side today. I, Han Yun, respect the strong!"
Han Yun spoke straightforwardly. Chen Tian nodded. Both entered their full power. Chen Tian and Han Yun appeared to be still, but they were actually searching for each other's weaknesses. Their eyes simultaneously burst into light, and the two beams of light collided intensely.
A massive explosion occurred at the center of the collision. Han Yun was at his full strength, while Chen Tian was at eighty percent. Chen Tian had not fully unleashed his power from the beginning; otherwise, Han Yun, a mere opponent, could have been easily eliminated. Chen Tian was hiding his true strength.
Facing so many enemies, Chen Tian couldn't reveal his full capabilities from the outset. At the center of the explosion, Chen Tian and Han Yun stood facing each other. Han Yun laughed heartily, "Kid, you've won. I'll back you today."
Blood flowed from Han Yun's arms. He had forgotten when he had sustained the injuries. Han Yun knew clearly that Chen Tian was an opponent who could make him bleed again. Han Yun deeply respected the strong.
Chen Tian cupped his hands in apology and said, "I concede."
