Chapter 316 Strong Suppression
"Child's play, daring to show off in the presence of an expert!"
Yang Ji extended his hand forward with a push, and the surrounding energy evaporated like boiling water, causing the fire whip flung by the Scarlet Devil Sage to disintegrate instantly.
Yang Ji lifted his gaze indifferently, radiating sharpness all over, his aura dazzling as he swept his gaze across the room. Where his eyes landed, Sword Qi howled, and space itself twisted.
"Hmph!" the Scarlet Devil Sage's face turned cold, no longer wasting words. He pulled over a giant black sword formed from flames on his arm, its searing heat arriving before its sharp edge as it thrust straight for Yang Ji's brow.
Seeing the Scarlet Devil Sage's attack approaching, Yang Ji remained utterly calm, his eyes shining like stars as they emitted piercing light.
His body surged with Immortal Qi, also condensing a longsword in his hand. The sword light pulsed, its bright radiance rolling back mountains and rivers.
The moment the sword appeared, its momentum was unstoppable, its sharp point piercing through the sky, a single thrust containing the terrifying Wuji Sword Intent.
Boom!
Their collision was deafening, the brilliance swirling, the force of the Laws shaking the air, sending a terrifying pressure in all directions. Space rippled and trembled as if it were about to tear apart.
The Wuji Sword Qi dissolved the Scarlet Devil Sage's fiery sword move, and Yang Ji raised his right hand to gather his Flying Sword once more. With a tap of his foot, his figure swept out like a ghost, holding the longsword with a ferocious, earth-shattering force, he boldly attacked.
Such speed, such sharpness!
The Scarlet Devil Sage's eyebrows twitched slightly, then his face revealed a cold smirk, his eyes filled with disdain. With arrogance and contempt, he reached out with his hand, unleashing a power that erupted like surging waves, breaking through the void as he grabbed forward.
Yang Ji's eyes turned cold. The strength within his body flowed throughout, his form suddenly emanating a treasured radiance. Using his palm as a sword, he slashed towards the Scarlet Devil Sage.
Boom! The two touched and immediately retreated.
The Scarlet Devil Sage was hit with a huge impact, sent flying backward, feeling his internals churn as he almost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in the void.
At the same time, Yang Ji also was pushed back, but his expression remained unchanged, seemingly unharmed. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"How could this kid's strength be so great? His body is like Immortal Gold, incredibly hard. My bones even cracked slightly. I led with the 'Demon God Palm', yet he countered my technique with his bare hand. Our collision left me at a disadvantage. This can't be possible, impossible," the Scarlet Devil Sage tried to remain composed, yet roared madly inside, unable to accept this reality as someone from the Heavenly Demon Clan of the Outer Realm.
"You managed to withstand my full force palm without bursting. You indeed have some skill," Yang Ji said flatly, but to the Scarlet Devil Sage, it was unbearably grating.
The Scarlet Devil Sage's body shook slightly, not out of fear, but out of humiliation.
Being from the Heavenly Demon Clan, facing cultivators from other realms, he always harbored a sense of superiority. Such words coming from Yang Ji, and at the same level no less, caused turbulence in his mind.
It should have been him making that statement based on strength and status.
"I, the Scarlet Devil Sage, am a renowned powerhouse, a Heavenly Demon of supreme talents. I will make sure your arrogance is met with a price," bellowed the Scarlet Devil Sage inwardly.
Arrogance and contempt, looking down upon adversaries, should be the way of the Heavenly Demons. In their eyes, the creatures of other realms were nothing but nourishment. Yet now, Yang Ji dared to belittle him, standing atop his head. In an instant, the eyes of the Scarlet Devil Sage flashed with bloodlust.
Just as the Scarlet Devil Sage prepared his ultimate move, Yang Ji leapt up, his fists crackling with energy and tiny sparks emerging, growing brighter and brighter, as if a dazzling sun was attached to his fist. The Sun Spirit Divine Fist of the Xian Ding Sect instantly locked onto the Scarlet Devil Sage, pressing towards him with overwhelming momentum.
The Scarlet Devil Sage's face twisted with rage. Yang Ji actually dared to throw a punch directly at him. This was an affront to him, and with his pride, he would not permit such a thing to happen.
After a ferocious roar, a blue and yellow light burst forth from his body, and the ephemeral figures of a vicious demon dragon and a fierce red tiger appeared beside him.
With two deep roars, they intimidated even the observing Heavenly Demons into trembling.
The two barely visible fierce beasts were extremely ferocious, opening their massive jaws to swallow Yang Ji's radiant fist.
Yang Ji was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Scarlet Devil Sage to possess such a powerful technique. However, he did not retreat but wanted to verify whether his bodily strength could contend with the Sage's technique.
"This is the 'Scarlet Devil Dragon-Tiger Technique' of our Heavenly Demon Clan, incredibly powerful. The kid dares to face it head-on; he's seeking death," remarked a watching Heavenly Demon coldly.
Roar!
The two fierce beasts roared, directly engulfing Yang Ji's radiant fist. A thunderous explosion rang out as they made contact, energy surging like a nuclear blast, scattering starlight in every direction, causing onlookers to instinctively shield their eyes.
After the starlight dispersed, the robes of Yang Ji and the Scarlet Devil Sage were slightly scorched, obviously from the splattering flames that had melted their clothes.
"What? He withstood the Scarlet Devil Sage's 'Dragon-Tiger Technique' with his fist and wasn't injured? His arm is completely intact, how is that possible?"
"How can this be possible?" The Scarlet Devil Sage also roared internally as the ferocious beasts beside him grew even more frenzied.
"Using mere strength to receive such a technique was still too risky. If the Scarlet Devil Sage had even a bit more physical strength, perhaps my fist would have shattered," Yang Ji pondered inwardly as a few nearly invisible teeth marks on the back of his hand healed completely with the flow of Immortal Qi within him, leaving no trace behind.
