Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist
"You can actually compete with me. Fine, you are worthy of my real attack."
A cold smile appeared on Bai Tianyu's face, but his heart was filled with stormy waves.
In the entire Tianwu Dynasty, only those true geniuses could achieve cross-level challenges, and Long Yan, with True Martial Ninth Level, possessed the strength to oppose Spiritual Martial Level Six. Such talent could be called a peerless genius.
Even in the entire Tianwu Dynasty, there was no second one.
This made Bai Tianyu even more determined to kill Long Yan. A person like Long Yan must be strangled in the cradle.
"Show your true strength."
Long Yan said.
"Demons Annihilation Hand!"
Bai Tianyu uttered a low cry, releasing the full momentum of Spiritual Martial Level Six. With a grab of his five fingers, a half-meter-wide True Qi Giant Hand flew towards Long Yan, grabbing at the air while emitting a piercing explosive sound.
This was a Yellow High-grade Combat Skill, created by the ancient Strong Ones when slaughtering demons and monsters. With the Demons Annihilation Hand, all demons and monsters would be killed.
"Yellow Level Combat Skill, not worth mentioning."
Long Yan's expression remained unchanged. In an instant, True Qi flowed into his index and middle fingers, and they emitted a dazzling light.
"Soul Splitting Sword Finger, break!"
With his fingers pointing forward into the void, a golden Sword Light burst out from between them, carrying the momentum of destroying souls and demoralizing spirits, piercing through the Demons Annihilation Hand.
"Profound-level Combat Technique, not good!"
Bai Tianyu's complexion changed, as the Soul Splitting Sword Finger that Long Yan used was clearly a Profound-level combat technique.
As expected, the Soul Splitting Sword Finger pierced straight through the Demons Annihilation Hand without losing momentum and killed its way towards him.
Bang.
Bai Tianyu threw two punches in succession to shatter the Soul Splitting Sword Finger, but the powerful force pushed him back two steps.
"Damn it!"
Bai Tianyu's face was gloomy.
"I must kill you. Misty Following Wind Step."
With a step on the Profound Step Technique, Bai Tianyu's figure turned into an afterimage, rushing towards Long Yan with extreme speed.
This was a Profound Level Body Method Battle Skill, his trump card. Even those of the same level couldn't match his speed.
"Body Method Battle Skill, huh? Star Shifting Arts."
Long Yan sneered. Just when Bai Tianyu's fingers were less than half a meter away from him, his figure vanished like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already behind Bai Tianyu.
"Impossible!"
Bai Tianyu grabbed at the afterimage of Long Yan in front of his eyes, only for his expression to change drastically when he found it was just a fake image.
Boom.
At this moment, a huge force struck him from behind, hitting him heavily. Bai Tianyu's body flew forward like he had been struck by lightning.
The clothing on his back was torn apart, revealing a silver-white inner armor.
"Spirit Artifact."
Long Yan's gaze grew sharp. If Bai Tianyu didn't have a Spirit Artifact armor protecting him, his attack would have severely injured him.
Spirit Artifacts were extremely rare, divided into Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, Earth Rank, and Heavenly Rank. The inner armor Bai Tianyu wore was a Yellow Rank Spirit Artifact.
"You deserve to die."
Blood seeped from the corner of Bai Tianyu's mouth, his face gloomy as water. No one had ever pushed him to this point before.
"Tiangang Giant Handprint."
True Qi surged, and his aura wrapped around him like a subsidiary dragon. His ten fingers swiftly formed a seal, and a golden hand of several meters in size quickly condensed above his head. Radiating Tiangang's righteous energy, the released aura turned the surrounding space into a vacuum.
Clearly, this was a Profound Rank Battle Technique with formidable power.
"Long Yan, die!"
Bai Tianyu roared and soared into the sky, astonishingly standing on the golden hand. He controlled the golden hand to suppress Long Yan; as it approached, the aura of heaven and earth collapsed.
"Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist!"
Long Yan punched out, and three stars evolved on his fist, colliding with the golden hand.
This Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist was one of the Earth Order Battle Techniques that Long Yan had mastered in his previous life. It was divided into three levels. The first level could evolve nine stars, comparable to Profound Grade Intermediate Battle Skill, while the second level could evolve countless stars, forming a vast star river, comparable to Profound Grade Advanced Battle Skill. Reaching the third level, he could evolve heaven and earth, making it an Earth Order Battle Technique.
Boom!
With Long Yan's current strength, he could not unleash the full power of the first level of Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist, but it was enough to overpower Bai Tianyu.
The three stars effortlessly shattered the Tiangang Giant Handprint, also sending Bai Tianyu flying.
"Pfft!"
Bai Tianyu's expression changed dramatically as he spat out a mist of blood, his aura collapsing from the severe injury inflicted by the Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Fist.
"Bai Tianyu, your death day has come."
In an instant, Long Yan was in front of Bai Tianyu, stepping on the Star Shifting Steps. He ferociously punched Bai Tianyu's chest, grabbed his head with his five fingers, and pressed down.
By now, more than half of the Long Family members had died or were injured. Long Yu, Long Ziyue, and others had all suffered severe injuries and were fortunate enough to be alive.
On the other side, Long Xinghe was also covered in blood. He had just broken through to the Earth Martial Realm and his realm was unstable. His opponent was at the Earth Martial Realm Second Layer, making it impossible for him to win.
The situation was similar for Long Xingchen, who was besieged by several Spiritual Martial Level 9s, including Lin Yunlong, and was on the verge of collapse.
"Stop it!"
Seeing that the Long Family could not hold on any longer, a thunder-like voice rang out.
"Whoever dares to move will die!"
Long Yan's hand was clasped on Bai Tianyu's head, and with just a little more force, he could crush Bai Tianyu's skull, taking his life.
Everyone's gaze turned to Long Yan, and upon seeing Bai Tianyu captured, they were all greatly surprised, especially the Bai Family's guards.
At this moment, Lin Yunlong and the Bai Family members could not take any further action, with the Long Family members sighing in relief.
"Kid, release Young Master Tianyu, or I'll tear you to pieces."
The middle-aged man in armor could not help but leave Long Xinghe alone. If Bai Tianyu died, he would not be able to keep his own life either.
"You dare to come one step closer?"
Long Yan snorted coldly, suddenly exerting force on his five fingers. Bai Tianyu's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"You dare!"
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he stopped in his tracks. Even if he went all out, he was not confident he could save Bai Tianyu.
"What am I afraid of? You killed so many people from my Long Family; someone has to pay the price."
Long Yan said coldly; this time, the Bai Family had truly enraged him.
"Kid, you'd better think it through. Release Young Master Tianyu, and we can talk about anything. If you dare hurt him, the Long Family will be annihilated. You can't withstand the wrath of the Bai Family."
His words fell on deaf ears, so the middle-aged man immediately added, "What do you want?"
"I said, if anyone touches my Long Family, they must pay the price. If you want Bai Tianyu to survive, kill Lin Yunlong."
Long Yan said coldly.
"You despicable scum, don't even think about it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunlong's expression changed dramatically. He did not believe that his life was more valuable than Bai Tianyu's.
