Chapter 723: Chapter 719: Fight to the Death! (Part 1)
âLife and death duel begins!â
With that announcement, a sharp, piercing cry of a crane suddenly erupted.
Ye Fan, seeing Dong Ziqi make the first move, watched as he slightly opened his hands and raised his right leg, propelling himself into the air in a sweeping motion. In the instant he lunged at Ye Fan, his hands formed into crane beaks, his arms twisting inward, creating a spiraling wind that struck directly at him!
His cultivation was honed through killing, and his combat experience was abundant. Even with an obvious advantage in strength, he launched a full-force attack from the start, aiming to eliminate Ye Fan in one fell swoop.
The reason he didnât start with a test like others was that he had already fought Ye Fan and knew all his movesâthere was no need to probe.
However, Ye Fan wasnât caught off guard. As soon as Dong Ziqi moved, he responded immediately.
In fact, he also wanted to take the offensive.
Ye Fan forcefully stepped back with his right foot, smashing the concrete floor and leaving a six to seven centimeters deep footprint. Using the tremendous rebounding force, he pounced toward Dong Ziqi like a ferocious tiger.
During his lunge, his large frame expanded, becoming even more formidable, resembling a fierce tiger.
Ye Fanâs arms spread wide as his lungs resonated with breathing, combining with the sound of stretching bones and musclesâa thunderous tigerâs roar naturally emerged from within him.
Roarâ
Ye Fan raised his arms, executing a maneuver like a great axe splitting a mountain, swinging down by the side of his right eye to directly hit Dong Ziqiâs crane-beak fist.
Tiger-style chop versus White Crane Boring Beak!
It was almost identical to the previous encounter.
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded as the wind blasted in all directions, causing lower-level martial artists to involuntarily squint their eyes or look away.
At the moment of the clash, Ye Fan felt an excruciating pain as if his entire fist was pierced through. Simultaneously, a massive counterforce made him uncontrollably retreat.
Scuff scuff scuffâŚ
He stepped back five or six steps, each step leaving a deeper footprint than the last, the final one almost reaching his ankles before he finally stabilized.
Shen Biancheng, Lin Yuehua, and others were far from the platform of the life and death duel, but it didnât prevent them from seeing every detail of the fight.
Seeing Ye Fan forced back five or six steps, his right fist bloodied and dripping, Lin Yuehua couldnât help but cover her mouth in shock.
Shen Biancheng, Gu Youlan, and Gu Mingshuang all had grim expressions, filled with worry.
Meanwhile, the martial artists who could see clearly were all astounded, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Since Ye Fan had challenged Dong Ziqi to a duel to the death, even if his strength wasnât superior to Dong Ziqiâs, it should at least be comparable. However, after one exchange, Ye Fan was pushed back five or six steps while Dong Ziqi merely staggered slightly.
The disparity in strength was too vast.
Wasnât it said that Ye Fan could defeat Mo Xuangu, who also had a late-stage Inner Strength, within fifteen moves?
The experts couldnât help but wonder.
Cheng Yuanqiao, acting as the referee, however, wore a slight smile. He had noticed that Dong Ziqi had broken through to the late stage of Inner Strength and, although not officially an Inner Qi master, was on the verge of becoming one.
Being a foreign martial artist and one of the few late-stage Inner Qi masters in Southeast Asia, he naturally inclined toward Dong Ziqi.
Having successfully struck, Dong Ziqi did not pause to allow Ye Fan to stabilize his Qi-Blood.
He immediately took a step, his entire figure soaring like a crane, his fingers contracting and expanding, and with a âbang,â he burst the air into a craneâs peck. His arms entwined inward, spiraling winds swirling upwards and downwards, aiming directly for Ye Fanâs eyes and heart.
A gust of wind faced him, almost suffocating, Ye Fan distinctly felt two sharp whips of wind pricking the skin of his eyes and heart position, an unprecedented sense of crisis arose, every pore on his body stood on end, and his hair and eyebrows frizzed as if electrified.
Dong Ziqiâs approach was swift and fierce, sealing off all of Ye Fanâs retreat paths.
Roar!
A ruthless determination surged, Ye Fan roared like a tiger and forcefully bounced his right leg outward to the ground, his right fist clenched into a cone, opening the chest and rotating toward Dong Ziqiâs heart.
He did not care about the consequences, even risking both being injured, disregarding Dong Ziqiâs crane peck that could pierce through more than ten centimeters of hardwood.
Ye Fan executed the Bouncing Step Heart Punch, creating a whirlwind. His shirt sleeve on the arm couldnât withstand that force and burst into shreds.
Whooshâswooshâ
The martial arts experts below clearly saw with their naked eyes the airflow swirling around Ye Fanâs Bouncing Step Heart Punch.
A sharp gust of wind struck, and Dong Ziqi also felt a sensation as if a cone was pressing on his heart, which shocked him greatly.
However, facing Ye Fanâs self-sacrificing technique, he did not plan to dodge and give Ye Fan a chance to breathe. He too was ready to risk his life bravely.
Ye Fanâs left crane peck moved to the left to meet the Bouncing Step Heart Punch, while the right peck continued pecking towards Ye Fanâs eyes.
He was already more advanced than Ye Fan, now being a half-step Qi Force master, confident that he could resist Ye Fanâs desperate punch with one hand.
In the next instant, like a needle against wheat awn, both the punch and the peck were sharp spiraling forces. Before they even collided, the sharp winds had fiercely clashed against each other.
Sizzleâ
A burst of brilliant electrical light flickered, and the martial artists below clearly saw tiny bolts of lightning moving between the fist cone and crane peck.
It turned out, the sharp Qi Forces colliding in opposite directions created intense friction in the air, just like clouds in the sky frictionally creating lightning, producing a significant amount of free electrons and a slight electric discharge.
Wowâ
The ordinary experts below gasped in amazement, finding it too incredible.
And at that instant, the fist and peck finally collided.
Dong Ziqi was about to pierce through Ye Fanâs fist just like before when suddenly, he felt an impending crisis and a sharp rotational force assaulting like a high-powered drill. The sensation almost made him feel as if his fingers shaped into a craneâs beak were about to burst and break.
Originally, Bouncing Step Heart Punch was a high-level technique of Xingyi Boxing, capable of dealing with powerful opponents and usually only learned by Qi Force masters. Although Dong Ziqi was a half-step Qi Force master, he was using a relatively common technique.
Thus, Dong Ziqi, caught off guard, was at a disadvantage.
âNot good!â Dong Ziqi was horrified inside. He immediately dispersed his almost-burst fingers and then flexed his fingers again to grab Ye Fanâs fist.
Boom!
The air burst, but the moment his fingers grasped Ye Fanâs fist, he immediately felt a spiraling force twist, threatening to break his fingers.
He was again shocked. In an instant, his Inner Strength activated, using his Qi Force mastery to timely neutralize the spinning strength of Ye Fanâs fist. He quickly halted his own movement, no longer intending to burst Ye Fanâs eye, and jumped backward, instantly leaping seven or eight meters, escaping Ye Fanâs attack range.
âAh, itâs Qi Force!â
Finally, other Qi Force masters below recognized it and exclaimed in surprise,
âDong Ziqi is already a Qi Force master!â
