Chapter 1180: “The Supreme Art of Ruling Heaven and Earth”

In a life-or-death moment, Kai Xin finally entered his fighting state fully. Taking on a dragon form, he narrowly avoided the Green-Clad Fanged Man’s choking claw.
As the cold wind swept across his face, Kai Xin felt a sense of relief and joy from having escaped death…
But the good times didn’t last long.
Before he could feel proud, the Green-Clad Fanged Man swiftly kicked him hard to the ground with lightning-fast speed…
Boom!!
Appearing out of thin air, Kai Xin immediately felt an immense force strike his waist, sending him crashing to the ground like a cannonball. Half of his body was almost paralyzed!
Fortunately, his True Vital Energy field absorbed most of the damage, and his muscles and bones had been strengthened to an extreme degree. The Green-Clad Fanged Man’s sudden attack didn’t cause too much harm to him.
After landing, he propped himself up on his hands and reflexively pressed down!
Boom!
A powerful gust of energy surged up from the ground beneath him.
To the astonishment of all present, the young man in white, who had been struck by the Green-Clad Fanged Man, got up as if nothing had happened. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward toward the Green-Clad Fanged Man, his gaze as firm and cold as ever. His stubborn and proud personality was truly astonishing.
Kai Xin’s defiance also surprised the Green-Clad Fanged Man greatly. Although Osaaya had withstood his full-force attack, the young man in white, with such a low level of cultivation, was able to react immediately after being struck out of the blue. The huge contrast left him momentarily stunned.
“Looking for death!”
Though surprised, seeing the other party refuse to back down, the Green-Clad Fanged Man curled his lips coldly, revealing a hint of indifferent cruelty.
His demon-like hand suddenly reached out…
Whoosh!
The timing was perfect. With a sweeping sword strike, the Green-Clad Fanged Man’s afterimage was torn apart by the sword’s energy.
Before Kai Xin could even react, the demon hand emerged from the surrounding void. Its fingers, like dark blue metal, were steady and carried an irresistible magical force. They snatched at him swiftly and with infinite mystery, making it impossible to dodge.
“Get lost!”
It was the first time Kai Xin had been so passive in front of others. Seeing his attacks ignored so easily, as if a grown man were playing with a child, his anger finally boiled over. His eyes turned cold, and he activated his dragon form once again…
Missed!
The surrounding warriors were stunned:
The Green-Clad Fanged Man failed again!!

But this time, many people realized that the Green-Armor Fanged Man’s mistake wasn’t due to the white-clothed youth’s excellent movement skills, but rather because the Green-Armor Fanged Man seemed determined to humiliate him, aiming to capture him at all costs. His crude grappling techniques were too simplistic, while the white-clothed youth’s dodging moves contained subtle strategies for evasion. By timing his actions perfectly, he managed to avoid the Green-Armor Fanged Man’s second attack.

“Hmph!”

The Green-Armor Fanged Man, seemingly expecting a mistake, tried the same trick again. As he passed by, he delivered another fierce kick to Happy’s body.

Boom!!!

The solid ground was cracked severely by Happy’s kick, showing that the Green-Armor Fanged Man hadn’t held back at all.

“I wonder how many times you can dodge me.”

With his hands behind his back, the Green-Armor Fanged Man stared down at the white-clothed youth who rose again from the ground, his tone cold.

Happy’s expression remained calm as water.

After those two powerful blows, he activated the *Yijin Jing* at full speed! His meridians expanded, and internal energy surged continuously from his dantian, flowing throughout his body. This not only helped him quickly restore the vital energy lost from his Dragon Form and the internal strength depleted by the damage to his true energy field but also enhanced his momentum.

In just one breath, most of his lost internal strength was restored. He stared intently at the Green-Armor Fanged Man, saying, “I’d like to see too—how many moves does it take for a master like you to defeat me?” The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Happy became, entering a better state.

Hearing Happy’s bold mockery, the Green-Armor Fanged Man’s pupils contracted slightly beneath his mask:

“Sharp-tongued.”

Before his words faded, he disappeared into the air once again.

Happy frowned and, without hesitation, leaped back with a quick step.

“Be careful behind you!”

At that moment, Osaaya’s voice suddenly reached his ears. Happy’s mind snapped back to reality, and he reflexively swung his sword backward…

As soon as he turned, he faced the Green-Armor Fanged Man’s robust, dragon-like figure in green armor, along with his cold eyes tinged with thoughtfulness.

Clang!!

In a hurry, the two clashed in midair.

The Green-Armor Fanged Man changed from grabbing to slapping, using his fleshy palm like a divine weapon to strike the sky crystal lightly. His hand remained unharmed, while Happy was knocked back several feet by the powerful force, his energy swirling violently for a long time.

“…”

Happy covered his chest and retreated several steps, striving to calm the raging blood in his chest. His gaze toward the Green-Armor Fanged Man became even more solemn.

As both masters of the Heavenly Dao, the Evil King and the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth are not on the same level at all… No wonder Osaaya was injured by the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth in just one move—his strength is probably the greatest I’ve seen among those at the Heavenly Dao realm, even surpassing my master, the “Crazy Monk”… Thinking of the Crazy Monk, who has been imprisoned on the Peak of Punishment for decades, Happy frowned slightly. Comparing him to the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth before him, both seemed unfathomable, but the latter was more dangerous. “Being able to withstand three of my moves—no wonder you could enter the Desert Palace. At such a young age, your skills are enough to make you stand out in the martial world. It’s a shame…” The Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth quickly calmed down after seeing the young man in white evenly match him with a punch. A glint appeared in his eyes as he sincerely praised him, but soon his gaze beneath the mask turned even colder and more cruel, filled with murderous intent. “Enough nonsense. If you keep talking like this, you’ll never leave the Desert Palace in your lifetime.” “…You’re right.” It seemed the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth was reminded: “The Desert Palace only stays open for a day—time waits for no one. I really can’t waste too much time on you. But as a thank you, I’ll leave you whole.” The coldness in his voice intensified as he spoke. “Stop boasting.” “Hmph!” Both of them attacked at the same time. This time, things were different from before… With Osaaya’s hidden assistance, even without spiritual perception, Happy could determine the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth’s location. Without needing his eyes or ears, he could strike him with a single sword. Whoosh!! Since he knew where the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth was, Happy naturally wouldn’t keep fighting. Activating Wind Filling the Sky, he delivered a sword strike with six times the normal damage, leaving a half-foot-long, bloody wound on the man’s arm. The latter was caught off guard. After being warned by Happy, he tried to act quickly, but didn’t expect Happy to use his ultimate move with Osaaya’s help. Thankfully, the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth sensed something was wrong with that sword strike at the last moment and quickly withdrew it; otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been a wound… His arm might have been ruined! Sigh! Amidst the gasps of shock from the surrounding warriors, the Man in Blue Armor with Fanged Teeth flew back dozens of feet away, lowering his head to check his injured arm… Bi Xuan and the others also felt a chill deep in their hearts upon seeing the wound on his arm! “This kid is really ruthless.” “Indeed…” Several masters of the Heavenly Dao held their breath, staring at the young man in white with admiration.

Before that, Happy had been continuously ravaged by the Blue-Armed Fanged Man, seemingly unable to fight back and only able to dodge around. Who would have thought that his first move would have such an effect, completely contrary to everyone’s expectations? Bi Xuan was filled with disbelief. He was shocked! In fact, he had already concluded that the Blue-Armed Fanged Man was indeed superior to him, but… to be wounded by the young man in white with a single sword strike… it was somewhat unexpected for him. “…” The Blue-Armed Fanged Man was even more surprised. He never expected the young man in white’s sword strike to have such power. He slightly raised his injured arm, slowly forming a fist, feeling the damage to his meridians, before raising his head and looking back this way: “Good move.” “I told you, I’m old—stop bragging…” Happy didn’t pursue further after succeeding with his sword strike; replenishing the internal energy expended in his previous move was what mattered most. Moreover, it would take 30 seconds for his next attack to cool down—wouldn’t rushing in just make him get kicked back like a punching bag? The only ones truly surprised in the arena were the Thousand-Faced Fox and Osaaya! For Osaaya, Happy’s sword strike was a revenge for her, and it also intimidated the other Heavenly Dao masters present… From this moment on, no one would ever regard Happy as a character with ordinary cultivation. In response to Happy’s sarcasm, the Blue-Armed Fanged Man smirked coldly: “I’m curious. That strike wasted a lot of your internal energy. In the short term, what right do you still have to be arrogant in front of me…” After a pause, his next words made many of the Heavenly Dao masters in the hall frown again, turning the atmosphere tense! “Even without using this hand, I can easily destroy you.” Whoosh! This time, the Blue-Armed Fanged Man didn’t wait politely for Happy’s response. As soon as he spoke, he rushed forward like an arrow leaving the bow. Huh? Happy was shocked! He had planned to provoke the Blue-Armed Fanged Man further with words, but instead, the latter took action immediately, and… this time, he didn’t use any Heavenly Dao power—just charging straight at him openly! For some reason, a hint of unease flashed through Happy’s mind. Osaaya didn’t send any secret messages; the Blue-Armed Fanged Man slowed down his attack speed… All of this made Happy feel slightly uncomfortable, as if the rhythm had been disrupted. And what was worse! “Die!!” The sound wave hit his ears… His heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a sledgehammer. Happy trembled, and suddenly, the Blue-Armed Fanged Man disappeared from sight.

Before they could recover from their daze and react, an immense pressure, along with a bone-chilling palm wind and a scorching hot palm wind, struck from both sides at once!
“Pure Yin energy! Intense Yang energy! You’re practicing the ‘Supreme Skill of Heaven and Earth’! It’s you! It really is you!!” The man in blue armor, with fangs, used one palm to control these two completely different types of internal energy, causing the seven heaven-defying masters in the hall to change color simultaneously.
Elder Qin couldn’t help but exclaim in shock; his voice was no longer the metallic scraping and shrill sound it had been before. Bang!! Bang!!
