He glanced solemnly at the Spiritual Pearl and said, "Even if I cannot win this time, I will certainly not make it easy for him. Afterward, it will be up to you, junior brother!"
After speaking, he stepped into the Cloud Gate, and his figure appeared above the vast desert of ten thousand miles.
"Chan Sect's Yang Jian pays respects to senior brother!"
Unlike Wei Hu, who started by summoning numerous Spiritual Treasures, Yang Jian respectfully bowed to Yu Yuan.
"Junior brother is courteous."
Yu Yuan returned the salute, smiling ambiguously at Yang Jian and said, "Previously, you had a bet with my sister, and if I recall correctly, you won at that time… How about we take this opportunity to have another wager?"
Yang Jian's heart stirred slightly, feigning curiosity he asked, "I wonder what kind of wager senior brother has in mind?"
"Just like the way you initially proposed."
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "If, without using any Spiritual Treasures, I can knock you ten feet away with one move, I win; otherwise, I lose.
The loser must immediately concede defeat and leave this world!
What do you think of this wager?"
Yang Jian shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"Senior brother, please don't jest with me. With such a wager, you're bound to win."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Senior brother has extraordinary roots, and since your transformation, you have been mentored by a renowned master and practiced for over a thousand years, whereas I have only been cultivating laboriously for twenty years.
The gap in our Dao Xing is too great; the wager you propose is far too unfair for me."
Yu Yuan slightly frowned and nodded slowly, "You have a point, this wager does seem to bully you."
Yang Jian: "..."
Lies won't harm anyone, but the truth cuts like a sharp blade!
Although this is a blunt truth, wouldn't it be clear in everyone's heart?
Why still say it out loud?
At this point, Yu Yuan looked at him and said, "Then do you have any other forms of wager? Or perhaps..."
He weighed the Mixed Gold Hammer in his hand, looking at Yang Jian with a half-smile, "you want to directly compete with me?"
"This..."
Yang Jian's gaze flickered slightly.
Just moments before, he was quite confident in the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, believing he could physically clash with this Primordial One Qi Immortal of the Jie Sect, and even if he could not win, he could last a long time.
After all, the Eight-Nine Profound Skill is a Protecting the Sect Mystical Skill personally created by Yuqing Saint Yuanshi Tianzun.
According to his master Yu Ding, who taught him this Mystical Skill, once mastered, it can strip all Acquired Yin, reveal Innate True Yang, refine the inborn Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and consolidate them into one.
From then on, the Golden Core will exist forever, and the Primordial Spirit will never disperse, making the body invincible to calamities!
Unfortunately, he has not yet achieved such a state of perfection, and seeing the top-notch Heavenly Immortal Wei Hu unable to withstand even a single hammer from the opponent, his confidence was significantly shaken.
Thus, when Yu Yuan mentioned the wager, his mind began to turn lively.
If he fought with all his strength in a true combat, he wouldn't have even a fifty percent chance of winning, but if they decided the victor through a wager, he might just have a chance!
Moreover, given the way this Primordial One Qi Immortal phrased his words, he was letting him decide the method of the wager.
Isn't this a godsend opportunity?
He could entirely propose some forms of wager that would play to his strengths.
Under such circumstances of capitalizing on strengths and avoiding weaknesses, perhaps he truly could win this battle!
With these thoughts, he pondered carefully and said to Yu Yuan, "Since senior brother wishes to have a wager with me, how about this… I'll strike with a punch first, and senior brother can only counter with his physical body.
If my punch can push senior brother back, I win.
Otherwise, if my punch doesn't move senior brother at all, senior brother can then punch me back; just knocking me a thousand miles away will count as senior brother winning..."
Saying this, Yang Jian looked earnestly at Yu Yuan, "Although this method might sound like I have the advantage, it is also to level the playing field between me and senior brother… What do you think?"
Yu Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, not saying a word.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Didn't senior brother just propose a wager, or have you changed your mind now?"
Yu Yuan shook his head, storing away the Mixed Gold Hammer, and looked at Yang Jian, "Come, let me see if your punch is hard enough."
Hearing this, Yang Jian's heart warmed, and he became uncontrollably excited.
He hadn't expected that the opponent would dare agree to such an outrageous condition.
Only need him to take a step back...
No, just half a step back!
Then he would be victorious!
There could not be a simpler condition for victory!
Although he did not have the confidence to defeat the opponent, if he did not even have the confidence to make his opponent retreat half a step, there was no need for him to stand here.
Eight-Nine Profound Skill, prioritizes the physical body, followed by divine power!
His strongest aspects were his nearly invincible physical body and his divine power capable of uprooting mountains.
"Senior Brother, no offense."
To avoid Yu Yuan's regrets, Yang Jian took a deep breath and decisively raised his right hand.
Twisting his body, he threw a punch!
"Boom—"
As Yang Jian punched out, the colors between heaven and earth suddenly vanished.
A vast and mighty force swept towards Yu Yuan.
Like destroying the dry and rotten, a huge deep pit instantly appeared in the desolate desert, starting from behind Yu Yuan and conically expanding a thousand li backwards. Even the white clouds hanging far on the horizon were split into two, revealing clear azure skies.
At a fierce glance, it looked as if this heaven and earth were punched into two halves.
However, what shocked Yang Jian was that Yu Yuan did not even move an inch, not even a furrow of his brows.
He still stood on the golden gravel, rooted like a mountain.
Unmoved like a mountain!
That devastating punch hit him as if it was merely tickling him.
"How is this possible?"
Yang Jian's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at Yu Yuan.
"Stop talking nonsense, now it's my turn!"
Yu Yuan raised his right hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curling upwards, "My fists have long been eager with hunger!"
As he spoke, his whole body radiated Infinite Divine Light, brilliant and dazzling like burning flames.
This was not any Divine Skill, but rather his own Qi-Blood and Essence Qi burning fiercely.
Subsequently, he threw a distant punch.
A torrential golden light followed his fist, surging forward like a hurricane sweeping through heaven and earth!
In that instant, Yang Jian's expression drastically changed, feeling his guts tearing apart and his scalp going numb.
He did all he could to resist.
However, as the golden light swept over like a storm, his body instantly shattered.
"Pfft" Chapter provided via *.
Blood spattered, bones broke and tendons snapped.
Yang Jian felt nearly hopeless.
Under that sweeping golden light, he uncontrollably flew up, dizzy and being swept far away.
During that time, he repeatedly tried to stabilize his body, but could never succeed.
It was not until that tremendous Divine Power weakened several times that he finally stopped.
The first thing he did after stopping was to look around, trying to determine how far he had been thrown.
This was his second line of defense.
As long as he was not thrown out a thousand li away, he would not have lost!
But as he surveyed, the last bit of luck in his heart also dissipated.
What entered his eyes was an endless vast ocean.
He had observed this part of the world from the outside.
The ocean closest to that desert was ten thousand li away!
In other words, he was blasted more than ten thousand li away by that punch from Yu Yuan!
