Divine King of Honour

Ji Yun didn't even think before he swung his fist towards Xu Nian, because there wasn't time to consider; Xu Nian was too fast.

However, even so, his actions were still a beat too slow.

"Bang!"

Xu Nian's fist smashed directly into Ji Yun's chest, instantly sending Ji Yun flying backward.

Ji Yun retreated dozens of steps, the pain in his chest making him quite uncomfortable.

Yet, everything wasn't over. Just as he had steadied himself, Xu Nian's figure had already appeared in front of him again.

This time, what greeted him was not a fist but Xu Nian's knee.

Ji Yun hurried to defend himself, and his palms collided with Xu Nian's knee. The clash of Gang Qi caused a backlash that violently numbed Ji Yun's arms.

Ji Yun was horrified; he was having trouble keeping up with Xu Nian's attack speed, and Xu Nian's strength was also no less than his.

"Still distracted?"

Xu Nian coldly chuckled, his fist trailing a blur, smashing directly into Ji Yun's jaw.

"Bang!"

Ji Yun's jawbone shattered instantly, teeth flying backward mingled with blood.

At the same time, Xu Nian delivered a flying kick to Ji Yun's abdomen, sending him flying over thirty meters, nearly sliding off the battle platform.

"So fast, so strong! Xu Nian is defying the heavens! To dominate Ji Yun like this."

"Yes, that speed, that impact, watching it makes my blood boil, truly domineering!"

"I thought Xu Nian was just good at swordsmanship, but his physical strength is incredibly strong too, just perfect!"

The spectators were endlessly amazed.

The sequence of attacks from Xu Nian just now was fluid as a flowing cloud, incredibly swift.

His previously somewhat clumsy body skill now seemed to have transformed, his movement swift as wind, following the shadows.

They couldn't imagine how Xu Nian had managed to increase his speed so drastically.

"How about it, is my body skill speed acceptable?" Xu Nian did not rush to attack again but stood coldly in place, watching Ji Yun slowly getting up.

Freed from the constraint of a 4,800 jin iron hammer, Xu Nian felt like a fish that had rejoined the sea after being ashore far too long, experiencing an indescribable exhilaration.

Ji Yun's face was ashen, as if he had been harshly slapped.

Xu Nian's sudden surge had caught him off guard; he truly couldn't imagine how a Nine-star Body Cultivator could match or even exceed him in strength and speed.

"Xu Nian, I take back what I said earlier; your speed and strength are indeed the most terrifying I've seen in the Star Realm," Ji Yun said fiercely as he looked at Xu Nian.

"However, there is still a big difference between Star Realm and Silver Moon Realm. Now, let me show you the true strength of the Silver Moon Battle Sect," Ji Yun bellowed.

He was genuinely furious, being publicly humiliated to the point of losing teeth, the greatest disgrace of his life.

"Fine, I'd very much like to see what the difference is between the Silver Moon Body Sect and the Star Body," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh, an unconcerned expression on his face.

Seeing Xu Nian's expression only fueled the flames of anger in Ji Yun's heart.

"Roar!"

A lion's roar emanated from Ji Yun's body, followed by the colossal phantom of a lion forming behind him. Terrifying Gang Qi completely enveloped him, as if cloaking him in a layer of armor.

"Gang Qi Armor! Ji Yun is so formidable. He has just entered the Body Sect realm and can already release Gang Qi Armor."

"Yes, although it is deployed using a Gang Skill, Gang Qi Armor is generally a skill mastered only by Four-star or even Five Stars Body Sects!"

...

The audience on the battlefield were all amazed, having not anticipated Ji Yun being able to execute the Gang Qi Armor move.

Xu Nian was also somewhat astonished.

Gang Qi Armor was a unique skill of the Body Sect, releasing the body's Gang Qi to the surface to form a strong defense, much like the Spiritual Energy Defense Light Shield of the Battle Sect.

But to achieve this, one's internal reserves of Gang Qi had to be exceedingly rich; usually, only a general Four-star Body Sect could meet the requirements. Ji Yun having just entered the Body Sect realm and being able to use this skill spoke volumes of his extraordinary talent.

"Die!" Ji Yun bellowed as his figure explosively rushed forward in an instant, his fist charged with terrifying Gang Qi, viciously smashing towards Xu Nian.

The fierce Gang Qi surged, like an enraged lion roaring.

Earth-level Gang Skill, Fierce Lion Roar Fist.

Ji Yun had previously used this move to defeat Chen Xifeng. Now, having broken through to the Body Sect realm, this Gang Skill was significantly more powerful than before.

Xu Nian, watching the fist imbued with terrifying force, also had a flash of pride in his eyes.

"Hmph, what of an Earth-level Gang Skill, what of Gang Qi Armor? Today, I will still crush you," Xu Nian scoffed, a powerful force of Thunder Fire Power bursting from his hands. The two powers intertwined instantly, eventually transforming into a formidable purple Thunder Fire Power.

The purple Thunder Fire Power enveloped Xu Nian's fist, exuding an awe-inspiring stillness.

Not only that, but dragon roars also resonated from within Xu Nian, as two streams of Dragon Energy were released in a flash—one merging into Xu Nian's Thunder Fire Power, and the other forming Dragon Scale Boxing Gloves over his palms.

"Boom!"

Xu Nian's fist directly met Ji Yun's, creating a deafening booming sound.

The colliding forces shattered the giant lion phantom behind Ji Yun in an instant. The Gang Qi Armor on his body also fractured under the impact of the energy storm, eventually dissipating into the air.

Ji Yun was sent flying back twenty meters, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood.

While Xu Nian merely stepped back ten paces before firmly stabilizing his stance.

"How... how is this possible?"

The entire audience was momentarily stunned. The outcome was completely unlike what they had anticipated.

They initially believed that it would be impressive enough if Xu Nian could withstand the punch, but the result turned out to be Ji Yun's defeat.

Despite employing an Earth-level Gang Skill, a Body Cultivator had lost to a Nine-star Body Cultivator—had they not witnessed it themselves, even if killed, they wouldn't have believed it.

Chen Yao, standing in the stands, was also in shock. She herself wasn't sure she could have caught Ji Yun's punch, but the end result was utterly beyond her expectations.

"Sister, didn't I tell you? Even if Ji Yun made a breakthrough, he wouldn't necessarily be a match for my brother-in-law," Chen Wudi said with a smile.

Chen Yao glared at Chen Wudi, but she didn't rebut, as the shock Xu Nian had given her was immense.

At this moment, Ji Yun on the battle platform had a pale face, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"No... I absolutely cannot lose!" Ji Yun roared, with a single gesture, the long spear lodged far away hurtled into his grasp, unleashing a tyrannical and vigorous Spear Intentəauspiciously from his body.
