Eternal Heavenly Emperor

However, being blasted away and defeated are two different things. It can only be said that the Barbaric Girl's strength indeed surpasses Yuan Tiangang's, but the outcome cannot be determined just from this.

After all, compared to Body Cultivation, Star Force Cultivators possess a variety of Martial Techniques, which is the foundation of their ability.

Yuan Tiangang immediately charged back, continuously launching punches, bang, bang, bang, bang, shattering the space around them, creating a heart-stopping sight, proving how fearsome a cultivator with a Spatial Physique could be.

The Barbaric Girl raised her tiny fists to meet him. Just looking at her small hands, it was hard to imagine that if they were to hit, even a mountain would have a huge hole smashed through it.

"Space Blade!" Yuan Tiangang shouted, grasping into the void with his right hand, and the air actually condensed, forming a blade.

Upon closer inspection, the edge of the blade was vibrating at high speed.

Chu Hao couldn't help but shiver internally, the Barbaric Girl's Physique was indeed powerful, but the destructive power of the high-speed vibrating air was terrifying. It was like holding a knife in your hand, which would definitely be futile against a steel plate.

But what if the knife were replaced by a sawtooth?

Same material, yet capable of completely different results.

Yuan Tiangang adapted accordingly.

A direct hit was nothing more than a tickle for the Barbaric Girl, but the cutting of the Air Blade was entirely different.

"Kill!" Yuan Tiangang lunged forward, raising the Air Blade high, slashing it down towards the Barbaric Girl.

In the eyes of the Barbaric Girl, the word 'retreat' clearly did not exist. Without any fear, she met him head-on, her fists pounding bang, bang, bang, bang, with the force to send even Eight Meridians War Sect level ferocious beasts flying.

Bang, bang, bang, her fists continuously pounded on the Air Blade, and she actually shattered it.

Chu Hao observed carefully, noticing a trail of blood running down the girl's fist.

After all, that was a Space Blade formed by a rare Spatial Physique.

Yuan Tiangang saw it too and finally revealed a smile, having probed the limits of the Barbaric Girl's Physique.

He could break through.

"I'll smash you!" The Barbaric Girl wiped the blood off her hands, her eyes emitting a ferocious beast-like cold light, and she suddenly propelled herself forward, moving as quickly as lightning.

Yuan Tiangang quickly dodged. As strong as he was, he dared not engage in close combat with a Body Cultivation of the same level; that would be a sure way to death.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, the two of them continuously collided.

From the looks of it, the Barbaric Girl was more proactive, continuously initiating attacks from the front, while Yuan Tiangang primarily dodged and occasionally jumped in with the Air Blade.

This was a bit like a tiger fighting a monkey. The tiger's strength lay in its fierce power; a single hit would be the end of the monkey. But the monkey excelled in agility, always managing to dodge the tiger's attacks.

The audience outside the arena was stunned.

In their perception, Yuan Tiangang was supposed to be the tiger, not someone to face head-on. But now the roles were reversed, which was hard for them to accept.

Even a strong individual like Yuan Tiangang could only fight a guerrilla war!

It wasn't that Yuan Tiangang wasn't strong enough, but that Body Cultivation was too terrifying.

As the two fought, the Barbaric Girl gradually accumulated more wounds, and Yuan Tiangang was not faring much better. No defense is perfect after all, and how could he always avoid being touched by the opponent?

That touch almost snapped his bones, making his complexion incredibly grim.

The fight was still evenly matched up to now.

Yuan Tiangang silently counted the time; they had been fighting for over 20 minutes, and at this rate, the battle would end without a winner.

He absolutely could not accept a draw.

A draw meant handing over the initiative, and his ranking would then depend on the judgment of others.

How could this be acceptable?

He must use his Ultimate Move.

Yuan Tiangang thought to himself. He had assumed he could easily sweep through all his opponents and reclaim the top spot on the Fledgling Dragon List, but never expected someone could push him to this extent.

"Within ten moves, I will definitely defeat you!" Yuan Tiangang declared proudly. Since he had decided to use his trump card, no one of his generation could withstand him.

The Barbaric Girl grinned, displaying her small but cute fangs. She clenched her fists and said, "Bring it on!"

"Hmph!" Yuan Tiangang propelled himself from the ground, shooting towards the Barbaric Girl.

Is this the Ultimate Move?

The audience was puzzled, unable to discern anything special about this move.

The Barbaric Girl felt the same; being straightforward, she didn't bother with complexities and swung a punch right at Yuan Tiangang's face.

Incredibly, Yuan Tiangang neither dodged nor flinched and just went straight towards the girl's fist.

Chu Hao's brows immediately furrowed. Was Yuan Tiangang being foolish?

Impossible!

But the fact was, Yun Cai's fist had already smashed into Yuan Tiangang's face.

The outcome of the match was determined in an instant. Within the Martial Sect Realm, who could take such a blow from the Barbaric Girl with their face? Even if his head wasn't smashed open, he would have been knocked out cold.

Boom, the Barbaric Girl swung her fist, and her entire body bizarrely spun around.

Hmm?

Chu Hao saw it clearly; the Barbaric Girl's punch had directly passed through Yuan Tiangang's body, as if he didn't exist at all, leaving only emptiness. And what consequences would come from throwing a full-force punch into the air?

Even though the girl was a Body Cultivator with an exceptionally strong physique, missing a punch was undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable.

But what about Yuan Tiangang?

Had he used Teleportation, leaving behind an afterimage to deceive Yun Cai's eyes?

No, no, no, that wasn't it.

In Chu Hao's astonished gaze, Yuan Tiangang actually started to counterattack, his Air Blade stabbing towards the girl's chest.

What?

Everyone was stunned, only to see Yuan Tiangang's entire head split open. It was this bizarre transformation that had completely evaded the Barbaric Girl's previous punch. Yet, a man with a head split into pieces was still lively and launching an attack—what a horrifying sight.

However, although Yuan Tiangang's head had split, there wasn't a single drop of blood or brain matter scattered, making the scene even more eerie.

Bang!

The Barbaric Girl staggered back, involuntarily placing her hand on her chest. The Air Blade had forcefully broken through her defense, creating a hole in her heart. She cried out, and a robust surge of blood erupted, healing the injury inside her at an astonishing speed.

This is the nature of Body Cultivation; as long as they are not killed outright, they can recover in an extremely short time.

—Legend has it that a War Emperor-level Body Cultivator could even revive from a single drop of blood. Compared to that, repairing a hole in the heart was trivial for the Barbaric Girl.

The two stood tens of meters apart, facing each other.

Yuan Tiangang's head, which had been shattered, reassembled, revealing his young and handsome face, though now it was overly pale, as if he had suffered a severe injury.

His previous bizarre "split" must have consumed a great deal of energy.

Indeed, such a life-saving and victorious technique would be overwhelming if it could be easily used—if so, wouldn't he be truly invincible?

As the only two who had not yet fought Yuan Tiangang, both Chu Hao and Ling Dongliu wore solemn expressions, each pondering how they might counter Yuan Tiangang's move if it were them.

Ling Dongliu felt a bit bitter because he hadn't managed to force out this move from Yuan Tiangang in the last Fledgling Dragon List competition.

Perhaps Yuan Tiangang hadn't mastered such a unique move at that time.

Ling Dongliu could only comfort himself with this thought, otherwise, he had to admit that he was far inferior to Yuan Tiangang three years ago, not even worthy of making him fight with all his might.

In the arena, the Barbaric Girl lifted her right foot and stomped down, boom, the ground thundered, and the entire arena seemed to tremble. She glared at Yuan Tiangang with soaring battle intent and suddenly charged towards him.

In her heart, there was no such word as fear.

She swept in like a hurricane, yet her tremendous force was like a mountain crashing down, perfectly combining speed and power.

Another punch thundered, aiming straight at Yuan Tiangang's chest.

Whoosh, Yuan Tiangang's body underwent another eerie transformation, his chest also splitting in pieces, allowing the Barbaric Girl's punch to again hit nothing. He took advantage of this to counterattack, his right hand trembling, and an Air Blade stabbed towards the Barbaric Girl's abdomen.

Splat, even the formidable body of the Barbaric Girl couldn't block the Air Blade's cut. Amidst spraying blood, the Air Blade had pierced through, a burst of Starlight surged out, and Yuan Tiangang looked coldly determined to completely disable the girl's combat power.

Chu Hao couldn't help but clench his fists, showing signs of anxiety.

Bang!

Just then, the girl still managed to retaliate, kicking out at Yuan Tiangang's abdomen.

This time, Yuan Tiangang couldn't split his abdomen in pieces to dodge the blow, and the kick landed fully on him. He was kicked violently away, thudding heavily as he fell to the ground.

The Barbaric Girl pressed her hand against her abdomen, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, struggling to heal the injuries inside her body.

After all, she was only a Martial Sect artist, far from achieving Blood Rebirth, and healing the hole in her heart had already drained much of her energy, not to mention the subsequent healing of her abdomen, which naturally strained her greatly.

In a short time, she could only repair her body three times at most; otherwise, she would have to rely on Pills for recovery, like Star Force Cultivators.

Yuan Tiangang wasn't feeling well either; employing the "Shattered" technique had already exhausted a lot of his vitality, and just now, he was brutally kicked by the girl. Being a Body Cultivator, her kick was like being hit by a mountain—so powerful that it made him feel as though his insides were being churned, even able to make him vomit bile.

The girl's recovery was noticeably slower, while Yuan Tiangang was desperately suppressing the discomfort in his body; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make a move in such a condition.

The scene fell into a brief standoff.

This outcome, who could have predicted it beforehand?

Everyone knew that once Body Cultivators grew up, they would be terrifying, but to be powerful to this extent was still beyond everyone's expectation.

That was Yuan Tiangang, and yet he was forced to such a level. (To be continued. If you like this work, we invite you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, purchase monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
