Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 438 - 254: Re-entering the Grandmaster Realm
Chen Qing leaped off the Green Bull Back and landed in the formation, charging towards the Shen Sha Army amidst the wind and snow.
Just as he launched a punch that sent a Shen Sha soldier flying, he saw Ji Dang attacking him.
Their fists collided, creating a loud bang.
Chen Qing quickly executed the Dragon Capturing Hand, engaging in combat with Ji Dang.
Around them, the Shen Sha Army and Dragon Cavalry matched each move in intense battle near Chen Qing and Ji Dang.
They moved rapidly, like fleeting shadows darting across.
Each of their steps approached perfection, without any superfluous movements. Even within a few meters from the mighty Grandmasters, Ji Dang and Chen Qing, they remained undisturbed by their fight.
The only reason was that nearly every one of them was at the Dharma Eye Realm, and most of them were even at the peak of this realm.
Only with such a level of Martial Arts mastery could they navigate freely in the battlefield of Chen Qing and Ji Dang.
Chen Qing executed his punches with great momentum, linking his Fist Skills with the forces of nature; every movement he made seemed to stir the forces of heaven and earth at will.
A single punch from him was enough to send a regular Ghost Face Realm opponent flying.
As Chen Qing swung his fists, images of historical King Wus flashed continuously in his mind.
All the past King Wus entered the Grandmaster Realm through Fist Skills.
Furthermore, they were Great Grandmasters.
This state had persisted for two years.
Having lost their handy weapons, they could only combat with Fist Skills, which was one reason the battle dragged on to this day.
All weapons wielded by Chen Qing and Ji Dang were shattered.
Chen Qing’s hands, as big as millstones, swung with incredible force.
Ji Dang, known for his speed, could hardly cause significant damage to Chen Qing due to his strong physique.
Therefore, Ji Dang would concentrate his power into one spot, accumulating punch energy to explode suddenly and completely shatter Chen Qing.
Even so, he couldn’t win against the Undying Body of Chen Qing, but he still had to try.
In fact, at this stage of the battle, both understood they were gambling,
gambling on who would first enter the Grandmaster Realm of Fist Skills.
Indeed, they were already Grandmasters, but without their weapons, their lethal power greatly diminished, hardly enough to crush each other’s body.
Only by advancing into the Grandmaster Realm of Fist Skills could they gain a decisive edge.
Once one of them broke through to become a Master of Fist Skills, that person would garner a decisive advantage.
Having battled for years, they were both tired of trash talk.
Two individuals who had never liked to take risks, now left their fate to their perceptiveness.
Ji Dang relied on the fact that he ascended to Grandmaster on his own strength; he had the talent.
Chen Qing relied on a strand of True Spirit from the historical King Wus.
As they fought, Chen Qing suddenly noticed something amiss; Ji Dang’s punches were getting heavier. Previously, they only caused slight pain, but now, his skin and flesh burst apart from Ji Dang’s punches.
Chen Qing’s gaze settled on Ji Dang, seeing his speed increasing tremendously. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Wrinkles even started forming on Ji Dang’s face.
With his white hair swirling amidst his increasing Grandmaster aura,
everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ji Dang, and Xuan Mang was the first to realize that something was wrong.
Having fought day and night for three years, he had also reached a Half-step Master status and was acutely aware that Ji Dang was on the brink of advancing into the Master Realm of Fist Skills!
And from the looks of it, it was nearly a success!
Xuan Mang, riding the Three-eyed Thunder Dragon, approached the battlefield of Chen Qing and Ji Dang, "Qing, hurry and flee! There’s something indefinable about Ji Dang!"
"I have a strong premonition that he’s about to break through that barrier!"
Chen Qing looked at Ji Dang, "Fleeing is futile!"
"If he truly becomes a Master, with the Iron Horse Ice River in the far north, how could we possibly escape him?"
"Let’s see whether his Life Span burns out first, or if he becomes a Master first!"
Chen Qing pushed Xuan Mang aside and met Ji Dang again in combat. The pressure from the opponent was increasingly oppressive, and Chen Qing was starting to struggle.
However, he could distinctly feel Ji Dang’s aging accelerating frighteningly.
While Ji Dang’s strength decreased due to aging, each of his strikes grew increasingly powerful!
Chen Qing was sent flying by a punch, coughing out a mouthful of blood like a blade, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Ji Dang!"
"In my life, I’ve been through countless battles, but only this one makes me feel the threat of death!"
Chen Qing was repeatedly knocked away, his bones continuously shattered by Ji Dang.
Chen Qing activated his Undying Body, recovered again, and charged at Ji Dang.
The surrounding Dragon Cavalry and Shen Sha Army grew increasingly anxious.
The Shen Sha Army tried to block the Dragon Cavalry, who were trying to prevent Ji Dang from advancing to the Master Realm of Fist Skills.
The battle between the two factions immediately intensified; previously, only one or two would die each day, but this battle had just started, and already one Dragon Cavalry and two Shen Sha soldiers had died.
Chen Qing endured Ji Dang’s heavy punches. Now, as Ji Dang’s speed increased, he was barely able to defend.
He could clearly feel that if this continued, he would likely be suppressed and banished by Ji Dang to the Death Sea,
and then die alone in that desolate place.
If so, it might be better to die.
Chen Qing also grew determined, fully immersing himself in Fist Skills. Between life and death, Chen Qing suddenly felt an extraordinary clarity of mind; the Fist Skills of the historical King Wus merged with his own memories, as if he himself was those three past King Wus.
