Chapter 724: Chapter 720: Fight to the Death! (Part 2)
āDong Ziqi has already achieved Transformative Strength!ā
With the cry of surprise spreading, everyone couldnāt help but be shocked and astonished.
āDong Ziqi has already achieved Transformative Strength?!ā Dong Ziqi was quite famous in Southeast Asia and many people recognized him. Learning that he had broken through the latter stage of Hidden Strength after many years, they couldnāt help but express their admiration, envy, and jealousy.
However, the next moment, they immediately thought of the fact that Ye Fan was currently engaging in a life-and-death duel with Dong Ziqi.
āSigh, it looks like a genius is about to fall today.ā
āYes, just as he skyrocketed to fame, he was killed off. What a pity.ā
āItās unfair; Dong Ziqi clearly pretended to still be in the Late Hidden Strength stage, then lured Ye Fan into a challenge to kill him!ā
People whispered and discussed amongst themselves.
At this time, Master Ding Xu of the Wudang Sect approached Bian Cheng and asked softly, āItās unfair for your junior brother to duel with Dong Ziqi, who has concealed his real strength. Should I step in to stop this duel?ā
āMaster Ding Xu, your concern is appreciated,ā Bian Cheng sighed and shook his head, āBefore stepping onto the stage, we were already aware of Dong Ziqiās strength. It is my junior brother who insisted on this challenge. This duel is a trial for him. Whether he lives or dies is now up to his own destiny.ā
Master Ding Xu was quite startled by this and opened his eyes wide, āYour junior brother still challenged knowing that Dong Ziqi had achieved Transformative Strength?ā
āIndeed. This has been a grudge accumulating for several months, he couldnāt possibly give up. Otherwise, it would be a great blow to him,ā said Bian Cheng. āHowever, Dong Ziqi is not yet a true master of Transformative Strength. He has probably just broken through from the Late Hidden Strength stage a few days ago.ā
Master Ding Xu sighed and said, āEven so, Dong Ziqi is not someone that a Late Hidden Strength expert should challenge.ā
After pausing, he sighed again, āYour junior brother has extraordinary courage and fighting spirit. If he can withstand this calamity, his potential is immeasurable in the future!ā
āIndeed,ā Bian Cheng nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, on the life-and-death duel stage, after Ye Fan had repelled Dong Ziqi with the Bouncing Step Heart Punch, he didnāt immediately pursue the advantage because he was already feeling the tumult of Qi-Blood.
Originally, he had been shaken by the clash of their first moves, which caused his Qi-Blood to churn. Then, using his utmost effort to forcibly execute the Bouncing Step Heart Punchāa technique only masters of Transformative Strength could handleāhe sustained some internal injuries, and his throat was faintly sweet.
Thus, taking advantage of the moment Dong Ziqi stepped back, Ye Fan hurriedly regulated his breathing to suppress the churning Qi-Blood.
Dong Ziqi, having leaped back seven or eight meters, didnāt immediately rush forward.
Had he not been a half-step master of Transformative Strength by then, he would have surely been tricked.
Remembering how Ye Fan had suddenly used a combination move like āFlying Horse Treading on Swallowā last time, and now a sudden āBouncing Step Heart Punch,ā he grew cautious of Ye Fan.
Ye Fanās sectās breathing regulations were formidable, and within a few breaths, he had suppressed the fluctuating Qi-Blood.
Once the Qi-Blood settled, Ye Fan immediately started moving with the movements of Monkey Style, no longer standing still to give Dong Ziqi an easy target.
āThe difference in cultivation is vast; I definitely canāt win against Dong Ziqi using traditional methods,ā Ye Fan thought to himself while using Monkey Style to move around to Dong Ziqiās rear.
Normally, in a match between Xingyi Boxing and White Crane Yong Chun Fist, the direct and powerful movements of Xingyi Boxing are typically used to counter the agility and precision of White Crane Yong Chun Fist.
But during their first exchange, when Ye Fan used the heavy and forceful Tiger Form Splitting Fist from Xingyi Boxing, he was almost pierced through by Dong Ziqiās Crane Peckāhis right hand still bore traces of blood.
Dong Ziqi did not allow Ye Fan to get behind him, always facing him head-on, denying Ye Fan any chance for a sneak attack.
āShould I really attack his strength with my weakness?ā Ye Fan thought to himself.
Suddenly, he stomped his foot and like a majestic eagle, pounced toward Dong Ziqi.
Whistleā
A high-pitched eagle cry rang out as Ye Fanās fingers turned into claws, tearing through the air and swiftly reaching for Dong Ziqiās throat.
Dong Ziqi didnāt retreat but advanced instead, stepping forward while his right-hand fingers shaped into a peck, twining inward sharply towards Ye Fanās eagle claw.
Ye Fan knew well that his eagle claw couldnāt catch Dong Ziqiās crane peck, and this was moreover his move.
Therefore, he immediately changed his stance, morphing into monkey-style movements, his large frame shrinking by a third to dodge Dong Ziqiās incoming crane peck, drill around Dong Ziqiās left side and towards Dong Ziqiās back.
However, Dong Ziqiās combat experience was incredibly rich and coupled with the agility of the White Crane Yong Chun Fist in close-range, short blows, as soon as Ye Fan thought to circle around, he immediately changed his attack towards Ye Fan.
Blocked by Dong Ziqi, Ye Fan had no choice but to quickly dodge outward with a āMonkey Probing Beehive.ā
And Dong Ziqi was even quicker to pursue, his hands forming crane pecks and casting shadows across the sky, enveloping Ye Fan.
Thud! Thud!
Struck by Dong Ziqiās crane pecks twice in a row, Ye Fan endured the intense pain, maintained his monkey-style body movements, and swiftly retreated over ten meters, escaping Dong Ziqiās attack range.
Having succeeded with his move, would Dong Ziqi easily let up?
He let out a loud shout, lifted his left foot, and with a push of his right, he soared towards Ye Fan like a crane gliding through the air.
Continue to flee? That was impossible.
Although the duel platform was much larger than a regular ring, it was still too small for ancient martial artists.
Moreover, Dong Ziqiās movements were incredibly fast.
Even from a considerable distance, Ye Fan felt countless sharp gusts of air assaulting him, suffocating.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth and, unexpectedly to everyone, rolled towards Dong Ziqi with a āLazy Donkey Roll.ā
āEh?ā Dong Ziqi was momentarily taken aback; with Ye Fan rolling on the ground, he indeed found it inconvenient to strike.
Both men were extremely fast, and in an instant, Ye Fan had rolled up to the approaching Dong Ziqi.
At that moment, Ye Fan suddenly sprang up from the ground, unleashing āWhite Ape Offers a Peachā at close range from below, targeting vulnerable spots like Dong Ziqiās heart, throat, and eyes.
āGood!ā The ancient martial artists below the stage couldnāt help but shout in approval.
This move was entirely unexpected, the angle tricky to an extreme. If they were Dong Ziqi, they would certainly have taken the hit.
However, with a cold snort from Dong Ziqi, Ye Fan had used the āWhite Ape Offers a Peachā against him before. Though the move caught him somewhat off guard, it still didnāt threaten him.
He quickly transformed his peck into a palm and sealed off Ye Fanās strike from below.
Bang! Bang!
With two consecutive counter-forces, Dong Ziqi used the momentum to elevate his body height in an instant and, like a white crane, soared past over Ye Fanās head while aiming a stomp at Ye Fanās Baihui acupoint on top of his head.
Ye Fan immediately punched upward with āSoaring Cannon Fistā towards Dong Ziqiās sole.
Bang!
The āSoaring Cannon Fistā hit Dong Ziqiās sole, but immediately a flow of Inner Strength spread across Dong Ziqiās sole, instantly neutralizing the force of the punch, allowing Dong Ziqi to leap away and gently land seven or eight meters away, like a white crane.
āDamn it!ā Ye Fan stood up straight, turned towards Dong Ziqi, and swiftly lunged at him.
If Dong Ziqi hadnāt been at the half-step Inner Strength level, that āSoaring Cannon Fistā would have at least numbed Dong Ziqiās leg for half a minute, tipping the scales of victory in his favor.
