Chapter 1095: Confronting the Unity of Heaven and Man
The brute force suppression attribute of the dark iron great sword was indeed remarkable, but against the vast gap in strength between the two realms, Kai Xin ultimately failed to fully utilize this attribute.
The heavy dark iron great sword, along with the lingering power of Wind-Filling the Sky, was effortlessly grasped by the Evil King. With two successive bursts of dark energy, he easily shattered what remained of Wind-Filling the Sky’s power, lifting the sword and its wielder into the air with ease, while enjoying the power of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
Yet Kai Xin was never one to sit idly by and wait for death!
He quickly recovered from his initial shock. Recalling his experiences with masters at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm on Punishment Peak, his gaze turned cold, and he resolutely abandoned his sword.
With a slap!
He rolled away using momentum, falling like lightning toward a rock twenty meters away…
The Evil King had now reached the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, making him extremely sensitive to everything around him. With a thought, “Seeking death!” he unleashed a palm strike filled with thunderous sound.
This time!
The attack power of the palm strike far surpassed even that of the peak of the Mythical Realm. Wherever it passed, rocks shattered and instantly formed a roaring giant face that lunged viciously at Kai Xin.
Losing his weapon, Kai Xin remained calm…
Dragon Coiling! True Vital Energy Field! Immortal Body!
As these three techniques were activated, a green dragon-like serpent descended, its abundant True Vital Energy condensing around his body.
Boom!!!
The roaring giant face crashed violently into Kai Xin…
Ugh!!!
Despite his defenses being enhanced to their peak ever seen, Kai Xin still felt a force as immense as a mountain peak lift him off the ground.
Boom!!!
Kai Xin felt himself crushed under a huge force amidst piles of rubble, dragged along as searing pain spread to every corner of his body.
Wanwan, standing nearby, was too shocked by the series of events to speak.
“Congratulations, Evil King, on your strength breakthrough!”
While kneeling on one knee, her sharp eyes glanced in Kai Xin’s direction!
The Evil King’s palm strike had stirred the winds and clouds, creating a trench over a hundred meters long in the ground. Chaotic rocks buried him completely, leaving his fate unknown.
“Hahahahaha…”
Breaking free from years of constraints, the Evil King was in high spirits. He tossed his dark iron sword aside as if it were worthless trash, his gaze turning toward Happy with even sharper intensity, his smile widening: “Speaking of which, while I was devoted to suppressing my demonic nature at the Great Buddha Temple, I only ended up accumulating more power. Now, with your help, I’ve finally achieved my long-held desire… You’re fortunate to be the first soul under my control; now you can rest in peace.”
As soon as he finished speaking…
“Whoa!!”
The sound of stones rolling echoed through the mountain, extremely harsh! Shi Zhexuan raised an eyebrow when he saw a figure suddenly standing up in the shadows in the distance—it was Happy.
“Truly worthy of someone who has mastered the ‘Yijin Jing’—their muscles and bones are far beyond ordinary people. There’s no one in this world who could kill you with a single palm strike. But…” His tone suddenly turned cold. “For repeatedly challenging my dignity, you deserve death!”
“…”
Happy’s state was very strange. When he got up from the pile of stones, his eyes were slightly dazed for a moment, as if pondering something distressing, trying hard to recall something. He stood motionless, ignoring the Evil King’s overwhelming presence.
“Seeking death!”
Being ignored was the most severe provocation and insult the Evil King had ever faced, especially now that he had reached the realm of unity with heaven. With a cold snort, he laughed in anger and suddenly soared into the air, appearing above Happy.
The Evil King’s speed was so fast that even Wanwan found it hard to keep up. Turning her head, she saw the Evil King hovering menacingly above Happy, frowning slightly, her gaze toward Happy filled with an inexplicable complexity.
At the same time, Wanwan found Happy’s state even more strange!
Faced with the powerful Evil King, Happy remained motionless, with no intention of dodging or defending himself…
How could this be?
Had that palm strike stunned him?
In the blink of an eye, the Evil King struck violently…
Boom!!
The air trembled violently, as if a piece of space had collapsed. A huge black palm print, accompanied by an astonishing force, pressed down fiercely from above!
At the moment of the attack, Happy finally reacted…
He opened his eyes!
He raised his gaze!
Probably only the Evil King saw the entire process.
Happy, who had been in a state of confused reminiscence, suddenly flashed a powerful and intimidating gaze. Facing the Evil King’s descending palm print, his body vanished instantly from its original position.
The Evil King’s expression changed, showing a brief moment of shock and surprise.
Whoosh!!
Before anyone could react, a foot suddenly appeared in view from an incredible angle, followed by a barely audible sound of air being torn apart.
Wanwan, who was watching from the side, was utterly astonished…
Xiao Kai had struck the Evil King at an incredible speed and force.
Bang!
Watching the Evil King fly backward through the air after being kicked, Wanwan could hardly believe her eyes—a young disciple who hadn’t yet reached the Wuwei realm had managed to repel the Evil King, who had been on the verge of attaining the Tianren Heyi realm.
The Evil King stopped only after crashing heavily into a huge rock, with cracks spreading rapidly across every inch of it…
“…How did you do that?”
Even the Evil King himself felt a strong shock at the moment of being kicked! His face was filled with disbelief as he stared at Xiao Kai, who was rushing over from not far away. At that moment, Xiao Kai’s attack and speed seemed to have reached the Tianren Heyi realm—he refused to believe it was an illusion!
Xiao Kai’s merciless sword strike was his reply!
“You don’t need to know.”
Swish!!
The wind howled through the air!
Xiao Kai strode forward to the Evil King and swung his sword fiercely, sending shards of rock flying everywhere…
The Evil King remained unharmed.
Compared to the previous strike, this one was highly destructive, but its speed was clearly inferior to that kick, so it was easy to dodge.
But it wasn’t until this moment that Wanwan and the Evil King, who had leaped into the air, realized that Xiao Kai, who had just taken a punch moments earlier, wasn’t injured at all.
The full-force strike from a master of the Tianren Heyi realm hadn’t caused any real damage to Xiao Kai!
Thud! Thud!
Xiao Kai sheathed his sword and turned around, meeting the Evil King, who had landed steadily. The strong wind blew past the torches around them, darkening the mountain valley instantly, but the two could still see the coldness in each other’s eyes, their gazes sparking in the air.
The atmosphere in the mountain valley became tense again, almost suffocating.
…
The Evil King’s expression wasn’t good right now.
He had thought it would be easy to take down the mad monk’s successor, who had mastered the Yi Jin Jing after reaching the Tianren Heyi realm, but clearly, he had underestimated both Xiao Kai’s toughness and his ability to counterattack.
At least that mysterious kick earlier was no less powerful than his own!
With two strong opponents facing off, he no longer expected the other to explain why. His heart sank—he knew this battle wouldn’t end easily.
As for Xiao Kai…
In the previous attack, he was dragged a hundred meters by the Evil King’s palm print, suffering intense pain. But strangely, after getting up, he only remembered a burning sensation from friction. Not only was his body unharmed at all, but the weakening effect on his True Vital Energy field was also minimal. The realm of Unity with Heaven and Man! The Evil King was only at the beginning stages of this realm, with a 10% increase in strength—far from comparable to the Mad Monk. His full-power attack was at most six or seven thousand points stronger than before. Although the threat had increased, the 20% weakening effect on his True Vital Energy field was offset by his enhanced defense through the Dragon Disc. In the end, the Evil King didn’t gain much advantage. The only difference was that losing his Dark Iron Heavy Sword had deprived him of significant support, allowing the Evil King’s palm strike to send him flying such a distance. Realizing this… Happy no longer felt as wary of the Evil King, who was just entering the realm of Unity with Heaven and Man. Additionally, at the moment he used the Dragon Disc, Happy keenly sensed something about it… Unfortunately, the Dragon Disc appeared and disappeared quickly, leaving him unable to fully understand it in that instant. This led the Evil King to mistake it for indifference and insult. As for using Dragon Tail Swing, it was because Happy, now calm and unafraid of the Evil King’s short-term attacks thanks to the Meridians Strengthening Scripture, thought of using this technique he had once experienced a breakthrough with against the Evil King. It worked well! Dragon Tail Swing indeed absorbed the enemy’s attack power and instantly converted it into its own offensive strength, giving the Evil King a “surprise”! Despite the surprise… Happy still tried to recall the flash of insight he had when using the Dragon Disc. He felt that momentary sensation might help him uncover the true secrets of the fourth form of the True Dragon Ten Styles. “What exactly was it?” While keeping an eye on the Evil King, Happy rapidly racked his brain, trying hard to remember what had happened… But the more he rushed to recall something, the less likely he was to remember it. Anxious and frustrated, Happy still couldn’t immediately recall that seemingly important thing until the Evil King attacked again. Frowning tightly, he gritted his teeth and thought, “Since I can’t remember, I’ll try again. I just won’t believe…” Boom!!!!
This time, facing the Evil King’s attack, Happy simply activated the Dragon Disk, the True Vital Energy Field, and the Immortal Body. Yet again, he was violently pushed back by an invincible force and dragged dozens of meters through the chaotic pile of stones before coming to a stop.
“…”
A series of surprises had left Wanwan speechless. Seeing Happy weaken once more, she didn’t know what to say.
The Evil King stared at the pile of stones covering Happy with a complex and strange expression, his gaze solemn.
Whoosh!!!
Amid the sound of stones rolling, Happy stood up unharmed from the pile once more, his whole body covered in dust, looking extremely disheveled. Though his appearance was in a terrible state, no one heard him mutter as he stood up, “So this is also useful…”
