"Hmph, useless. My true energy is incredibly thick; if I don't get worn down, he'll collapse first," Shen Yihan scoffed, undeterred. He launched another fierce attack against Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang had just been hit by a punch and was already injured. Yihan believed he could kill Shen Xiang in no time.
Punch after punch, the "Mysterious Ice Force" continued to attack from a distance, making it impossible for Shen Xiang to approach, forcing him to defend.
"Haha... just now you were all talk about fighting for your father, but now you have no ability to resist!" Shen Yihan let out a sharp laugh, and Shen Xiang had another blood hole on his body from being hit by the "Mysterious Ice Force," causing his skin to rupture.
Shen Xiang took a deep breath. The Yin-Yang diagram within him began to operate slowly, and the Five Elements True Energy stored in his body gradually fused together under his mental control.
In this moment, Shen Xiang could only hope for victory by using the Five Elements True Energy simultaneously. However, once the Five Elements True Energy fused together and was unleashed, it would become extremely powerful and violent, putting tremendous strain on his meridians.
This fusion of the Five Elements True Energy had never been attempted before, and no one had ever had the chance to try it. Yet now, Shen Xiang was touching upon a mysterious realm, and it could be considered utterly insane. If he couldn't control it properly, he would risk losing control and exploding his own body.
But Shen Xiang succeeded. Although he felt his meridians threatening to burst, the Five Elements True Energy in his dantian was perfectly fused. It was just somewhat difficult to control, and a large amount of true energy was leaking from his meridians. Shen Xiang knew he had to hurry and take advantage of this terrifying power to defeat Shen Yihan before it ran out.
Suddenly, a violent aura erupted from Shen Xiang's body. Shen Yihan's heart skipped a beat; this true energy felt domineering, brutal, and full of destruction!
"Ah..." Shen Xiang roared as he felt the pain from the violent true energy crashing through his body. A wave of destructive energy surged forth, sweeping the surroundings like a tsunami, causing the entire square to shake, and the stones where Shen Xiang stood shattered.
Heaven and earth are composed of the Five Elements. When the power of the Five Elements is fused together, it becomes the sky and the universe. At this moment, Shen Xiang combined the power of the Five Elements to condense the force of the universe, the Universe True Energy!
"Lie down for me!" Shen Yihan felt a cold energy bursting from him. The more he sensed that Shen Xiang could defeat him, the more he wanted to finish the battle quickly to prevent Shen Xiang from turning the tables.
Shen Xiang's eyes flickered with lightning as he charged toward Shen Yihan. His feet were filled with the destructive power of the universe; each step crushed the ground beneath him, and as he ran, his momentum was like a stampede of thousands of horses.
"Mysterious Ice Force!" Shen Yihan frowned at the charging Shen Xiang and struck out with both fists, unleashing two stronger blasts of icy force that shot toward Shen Xiang.
At this moment, Shen Xiang was in a frenzied state; he had only one thought in his mind: to defeat Shen Yihan.
As the two blasts of ice force capable of piercing through stone rushed toward him, Shen Xiang roared, surprisingly using his bare hands to catch the two terrifying blasts. Although his palms were frozen, the ice quickly shattered, and he continued to charge forward.
In just a moment, Shen Xiang reached Shen Yihan and began to pummel him with his fists. Each punch created an explosion of true energy; this was a very ordinary yet superior martial art known as "Violent Kill Fist." Each punch detonated with a powerful explosion of true energy, inflicting significant damage while consuming a lot of true energy.
With each punch, there was a resounding boom, and Shen Xiang's speed of attack was incredibly fast, one punch after another, as if using "Violent Kill Fist" without consuming any true energy at all.
At this moment, Shen Xiang unleashed the Universe True Energy with his "Violent Kill Fist," which was terrifying enough to make anyone's heart tremble. The power of his attacks pressed directly against the energy barrier!
Shen Yihan, at this point, had to use his energy barrier to defend against Shen Xiang's relentless "Violent Kill Fist" barrage. Each punch he blocked made his heart contract; the explosive power of Shen Xiang's true energy filled him with fear. If he got hit by even one punch, he would undoubtedly be injured.
In just a few breaths, Shen Xiang unleashed dozens of "Violent Kill Fist" punches.
Even Shen Tianhu's eyes widened in disbelief at how powerful his son was. However, he could see that Shen Xiang was also in a precarious situation; such an extraordinary power was typically only attainable at the cost of one's own body.
"Damn it..." Shen Yihan cursed as he continuously blocked the frantic "Violent Kill Fist." It was the first time he encountered someone who could utilize "Violent Kill Fist" to such an extent and truly experience the terrifying power of this ordinary martial art.
Shen Xiang felt his Five Elements True Energy rapidly depleting, and he internally cursed. He sensed that his true energy was about to run out. If he couldn't defeat Shen Yihan then, it would be his end.
Suddenly, Shen Xiang opened his mouth and let out a roar, a dragon's roar that echoed through the sky. A surge of violent, colorless true energy erupted from his mouth, enveloping Shen Yihan!
This was the "Azure Dragon Roar." Although the Universe True Energy was colorless, it manifested as various elemental forces like lightning, fire, water, and ice when it surged forth.
Shen Yihan didn't expect Shen Xiang to suddenly unleash this move and quickly retreated, channeling his true energy to create an energy barrier of ice to resist this violent true energy attack.
Suddenly, a shining cold knife appeared in Shen Xiang's hand!
As Shen Xiang, radiating violent true energy, brandished the knife, he shouted, pouring all his remaining true energy into it. A blinding azure light erupted, accompanied by a sharp dragon's roar that shattered stone and pierced the clouds.
Shen Xiang leapt into the air, the glowing knife left behind a blue afterimage as it tore through the air with the force of a thunderbolt, striking down toward Shen Yihan's head.
"Slow down..." came several shouts from a distance, the surprised voices of the elders. The knife cleaved through Shen Yihan's ice barrier but stopped just beside his neck.
Hastily retracting his strength, Shen Xiang released a surge of violent true energy, sending shockwaves rippling outward. Everyone stood frozen, like statues, staring blankly at Shen Xiang holding the knife.
They were all deeply shocked by Shen Xiang's ferocious and domineering martial skills. At that moment, he was no longer the useless person without spiritual veins; he was a terrifying monster!
At sixteen years old, he had defeated a seventh-level Martial Realm practitioner! This was a miracle!
And Shen Xiang was still an alchemist!
For a family to produce such a talent made many members of the Shen family incredibly excited!
"Shen Xiang—Shen Xiang—Shen Xiang!" Many people shouted his name simultaneously, their voices echoing throughout the vast Shen family grounds, creating an overwhelming sensation.
Shen Xiang looked at the astonished and excited expressions of the crowd, feeling a surge of pride within him.
Previously, everyone thought Shen Xiang's challenge against the genius of the Yao family was like trying to hit a stone with an egg, but now it seemed that Shen Xiang had a good chance of winning.
