Chu Yuan's booming voice echoed throughout the peak of Mount Yunding as the energy came surging
toward him from all directions.
The energy then converged on Chu Yuan's body as though there was an invisible funnel above him,
causing his aura levels to rise at a terrifying rate.
Ye Fan could also see the muscles on Chu Yuan's body expand rapidly as he grew stronger and
stronger.
Chu Yuan was almost twice his original size by the time he was done absorbing all that energy.
The loud roar of a dragon came echoed through the mountain as Chu Yuan's Dragon God Body was
activated in the process.
A few seconds later, explosive energy came bursting out of him, causing those in the area to feel
immense pressure on their bodies.
“Looks like Chu Yuan is about to get serious!”
King of Fighters and Sword Saint were severely injured and tied to a huge rock in the distance.
Chu Sect and Dragon God Hall were locked in combat, but hardly anyone was paying attention to that
battle.
King of Fighters and the others all had their gazes fixated on Ye Fan and Chu Yuan because they knew
the outcome of this fight would determine the victor.
Even if Dragon God Hall could win the battle against Chu Sect's men, it would be for nothing if Ye Fan
lost to Chu Yuan.
After all, Chu Yuan alone possessed enough power to level all of Jiangdong.
It would take more than having the superiority in numbers to stand up to the power of a god realm
master.
Right as the fight between Ye Fan and Chu Yuan was about to start, ten thousand soldiers arrived at
the Brighfell River, which was dozens of miles away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Tianhe was standing on the top of a nearby mountain and observing the battle while one of his men
updated him on the situation at Yunzhou.
He had seen little to no hope for the battle at Jiangdong at first.
However, hearing about Ye Fan's heroic return with thousands of powerful fighters filled his eyes with
hope again.
As he glanced at the horizon, he noticed a huge amount of energy gathering in Yunzhou's direction.
One of his subordinates came up to him and reported, “General Lu, the men from Dragon God Hall and
Chu Sect are still locked in combat, and the fight between General Chu and the head of the Chu Sect is
about to begin!”
“It looks like the true battle is about to take place!” Lu Tianhe said as he gazed at Yunzhou from afar.
Being a fellow martial artist himself, he knew full well that the outcome of Ye Fan and Chu Yuan's fight
would determine the outcome of this battle.
“Standby, men. On my command, we will cross the Brighfell River, advance fifty miles, and set up camp
outside of Yunzhou!” Lu Tianhe ordered.
Since General Chu is back, it's only natural that I lend him a helping hand. Even if we don't join in the
fight, we can at least provide some moral support on the side! The survival of China's martial arts world
is in your hands, General Chu...
The decisive battle for Yunzhou had begun.
After charging his power, Chu Yuan launched himself at Ye Fan like an arrow and threw a punch at
him.
Boom!
Chu Yuan hit with so much force that it felt as though a nuclear bomb had exploded.
The shockwave alone left a huge crater in the ground.
Instead of taking that blow head-on, Ye Fan dodged it using the Nine Steps of Yunyang.
“Ha! Do you think you can dodge this?” Chu Yuan asked with a vicious grin on his face.
He then pressed both of his palms together and concentrated his energy on them.
“Radial Slash!”
Buzz!
A golden ball of light formed at the tip of Chu Yuan's fingers.
It started as a tiny dot and slowly increased in size with Chu Yuan's body as its core.
After reaching a certain size, the ball of light exploded into an energy wave that expanded rapidly,
covering all directions and angles.
Chu Yuan had long figured out the concept behind the Nine Steps of Yunyang after seeing Ye Fan use
it.
That's quite an impressive movement technique he's got there. Every attack has openings that can be
exploited, and that is exactly what the Nine Steps of Yunyang does. It allows Ye Fan to evade my
attacks and effortlessly slip through the cracks. In order to neutralize the Nine Steps of Yunyang, I'll
have to launch an attack that does damage indiscriminately within an area! This way, there will be no
cracks for Ye Fan to slip through! Similar to how carpet bombing will effectively flush out or kill anyone
hiding in an area, this attack will render Ye Fan's movement technique useless!
Sure enough, Radial Slash could neutralize Ye Fan's Nine Steps of Yunyang effectively and send Ye
Fan flying upon impact.
Having broken through Ye Fan's defense, Chu Yuan seized the opportunity and charged forward.
“Dragon Catching Punch! Crouching Tiger Palm! The Tyrant's Kick!” Chu Yuan yelled as he unleashed
three consecutive strikes using his fist, palm, and foot.
Within seconds, all three attacks came raining down on Ye Fan like a storm.
A single mistake could easily result in defeat, and Ye Fan was no exception to that rule.
With his movement technique being countered, Ye Fan was caught off guard and couldn't effectively
dodge or block the subsequent attacks.
Everyone watched as Chu Yuan's strikes broke through Ye Fan's defenses and landed square on his
body.
Each blow was so powerful that it caused Ye Fan to cough up blood upon impact, and the third strike
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsent him flying a few miles away like a cannonball.
Boom!
The mountain shook violently, and a crater was formed as Chu Yuan stomped Ye Fan to the ground.
As if to celebrate Chu Yuan's victory, broken pieces of rocks flew everywhere like fireworks.
“Hahaha! I won! Chu Tianfan has lost, and those of you from the Dragon God Hall are the next to die!”
The members of Chu Sect were overjoyed when they saw that.
Having received a morale boost from their leader's victory, the members of Chu Sect managed to break
through a few of Dragon God Hall's defenses and forced their men to retreat.
Even when armed with divine tools, Gaius struggled to defend against the Chu Sect elders' attacks.
Things were clearly not looking good for Dragon God Hall.
Boom!
All of a sudden, Ye Fan emerged from the rubble.
This time, however, he was no longer calm and composed.
Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he had an incredibly gloomy look in his eyes.
He spat out a mouthful of blood as he said coldly, “As expected of the leader of Chu Sect. You could
counter my Nine Steps of Yunyang. In that case, I shall stop dodging your attacks from here on. I'll
have you know that I, Chu Tianfan, am not afraid to fight you head-on!”
I shouldn't have underestimated Chu Yuan. I thought I was untouchable with the Nine Steps of
Yunyang, but Chu Yuan was able to counter it completely with Radial Slash. Oh, well... I guess it won't
work on every single attack, but not that it matters. If I can't dodge his attacks, then I'll fight him head-
on and crush him with brute force!
As though he had just heard the funniest joke ever, Chu Yuan burst out laughing and said, “Hahaha!
You think you have what it takes to defeat me? Chu Tianfan, I'll have you know that I can crush those
below the god realm like bugs! If I'm not mistaken, your Invoke the Celestial Cloud has only reached
the fourth stage. You're still a Supreme, so how do you plan on fighting me when you're not even
halfway near the god realm? I could kill you with a single slap if we clashed head-on!”
