Chapter 195: Dragons and Tigers Contending For Dominance!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Without waiting for the two to voice their objection, a powerful aura emanated from Itoh Junji's body as he sent a strike at them without hesitation!
Sensing the dominating aura surging towards them, Nan Yang and Qian Jun's expressions changed drastically. Not daring to delay anymore, they sent also charged towards Itoh Junji!
‘I've miscalculated! This person is actually a Xiantian expert! Furthermore, his cultivation is not lower than mid-stage Xiantian!’
Pu Yang drew in a deep breath of cold air. From the start, he had only been placing his attention on Yagyu Mimoto, and did not notice the young man. Furthermore, the kid had used some unknown method, even managing to hide his cultivation from himself!
‘Looks like these people had come with bad intentions from the start, aiming to take away our Dragon Tiger Pills!’
Pu Yang furrowed his brows. Looks like there wasn't much hope of winning this bet anymore. But, to actually part with the Dragon Tiger Pills was something that he was unwilling to do as well.
If he went out to intercept and kill the two foreigners when they were returning to their country and the deed was discovered, the good reputation that Mount Longhu had built up for so many years would turn to trash in an instant.
The three figures in the center of the hall clashed together violently. Itoh Junji's fingers were stiffened like iron claws as he swiped forward. From the perspective of the crowd, he looked like an eagle swooping down on his prey!
"Bang!"
"Ta, ta!"
The double-handed claw attack slammed into a fist and a palm, sending Nan Yang and Qian Jun backwards uncontrollably!
The two youths were both heaven-defying geniuses, but their cultivation was too low, being only at half step Xiantian. With just a single clash, they had fallen into a disadvantageous position.
‘This is bad! Did that Japanese fellow start cultivating in the womb? How could he be so strong!’
An old timer Evolved Jing master in the crowd frowned in frustration as he watched the two geniuses retreating repeatedly.
"At this rate, the entire Jiangbei Province would be trampled beneath their feet! We can't lose!"
Another elderly cultivator murmured impatiently. If even Mount Longhu lost, that would mean that the entire Jiangbei Province would similarly be trampled beneath the feet of these foreigners. This was something that nobody could accept!
As they watched the three young elites on the stage, all the Evolved Jing experts in the crowd had an extremely ugly look on their faces. No matter which junior it was, they knew that none of them would be able to best them in a fight if it was them!
The only person who remained expressionless was an old man from the Cang family. An ordinary-looking three-chi-long Qingfeng sword hummed lightly in his hands.
People from the Cang family could not be judged by regular standards. Although the old man only had a cultivation of peak Evolved Jing, even an early stage Xiantian master would be reluctant to engage in an all-out battle with him!
"Dragon Subduing!"
"Tiger Taming!"
Every time they clashed with Itoh Junji, the two geniuses would feel their bodies shake forcefully. After clashing repeatedly, traces of blood could already be seen at the corners of their mouths. Even their hearts had been hurt by the forceful impacts. In that moment, they did not hesitate any further and directly unleashed their strongest killing techniques!
A blood-red dragon head manifested above Nan Yang's fist. With a shake, the entire dragon's body also appeared!
"Ang!"
A formless dragon roar sounded out in the hall, ringing out in the minds of the crowd!
The little dragon was only about three chi long, but its body was wriggling about in the air in an energetic manner. The horns atop its head were graceful and powerful, and its scales shone lightly as they glimmered under the natural light. Its four limbs were powerful as though it was a real, living being!
No matter how skeptical Su Bai's group was, there was no longer any way of associating this scene with shooting a movie.
They had never heard of any movies where the special computer effects were generated on the spot! In that moment, the three huddled together in fear that they might be hit by the residual ripples.
"So it was true, there's really immortals on Mount Longhu!"
Su Bai mumbled with shock. His eyes blazed earnestly. To create a divine dragon out of thin air... isn't that some kind of divine technique that only immortals can perform?
"Hou!"
Qian Jun was crouching on the ground as the image of a silvery white ferocious-looking tiger hovered above him, emanating an icy-cold blood lust!
The tiger was over three meters long and extremely lifelike. Its fur even ruffled gently as a breeze blew through the hall.
‘There are successors for my Mount Longhu! The two supreme martial techniques have already been mastered to the peak of perfection by them! With just a single step more, their techniques would break through to a new realm of power!’
Pu Yang nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the two disciples. At the very least, his heart was slightly comforted by the prospects of these two disciples. ‘But even with this, it's still not enough!’
Pu Yang understood the martial prowess of Xiantian realm too well. If they were against an early stage Xiantian master, even if the two disciples would not be able to defeat their opponent, they would at least be capable of protecting themselves. But this time, they were facing a mid stage Xiantian master!
At the thought of having to give up the Dragon Tiger Pills which he'd refined after painstakingly gathering materials for three 60-year cycles to the foreigners just like that, Pu Yang felt the impulse to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Dragons and Tigers Contending For Domination!"
Nan Yang and Qian Jun also knew that it was impossible to defeat this opponent like this. Thus, they immediately deployed their ultimate killing technique!
"Hou! Ang!"
The two mythical beasts leaped towards each other and entwined together, turning into a ferocious spiraling force as they pierced towards Itoh Junji!
"Good!"
Pu Yang slapped his thighs with delight. This strike was definitely enough to contend against a mid stage Xiantian expert!
"Nice strike! I'm also curious to see if your joint technique is stronger, or if the Form and Will Fist I cultivated is stronger!"
Itoh Junji finally assumed a serious expression. The force of the incoming attack was already nearing the boundaries of mid stage Xiantian. Even he would be hard-pressed to overcome it!
A different hand seal appeared in Itoh Junji's two hands. A huge eagle immediately formed on his side, spreading its five-meter-long wings proudly. Following that, a towering brown bear tore open the space and appeared in the hall as well!
The eagle and the bear quickly merged together, turning into a ferocious winged bear!
"Ao!"
A powerful shock wave spread through the hall, causing the blood and Qi of all the martial practitioners to rumble chaotically. Outside the hall, Su Bai and the rest felt their heads shudder violently. In the next moment, they'd directly fainted!
"Is that the killer technique Eagle Bear Assaulting The Heavens from Form and Will Fist technique?!"
"God d*mned Japanese scum, they're actually employing the technique we developed against our own people!"
The old martial practitioners in the crowd gritted their teeth hatefully. But, no matter how angry they were, there was nothing they could do!
"Eagle Bear Assaulting The Heavens!"
Itoh Junji shouted as he unleashed the strike towards the Dragon and Tiger combination skill.
"Hong!"
"Peng!"
A huge cloud of dust and smoke spread through the hall with insane speed, as though a few bombs had exploded in the Demon Subduing Hall!
The Evolved Jing masters within the crowd hurriedly acted to disperse the shockwave heading towards them.
A minute later, the cloud of smoke and dust was finally dissipated. By then, a huge three meter wide crater had appeared in the center of the Demon Subduing Hall! With the crater as the center, numerous deep cracks covered the thick green stone floor!
Nan Yang and Qian Jun had collapsed, lying far away, their life and death uncertain.
"Take these two disciples away to rest!"
Pu Yang breathed a sigh of relief after checking the injuries of the two personally. Shaking his head unwillingly, he looked calmly at another disciple nearby and instructed him to take care of them.
"I've won! As per our agreement, you should give the Dragon Tiger Pills to us now."
Itoh Junji's face was also slightly pale. The ultimate killing technique of Form and Will Fist was ultimately too profound for him. He'd only grasped a tiny understanding of it himself.
The reason he'd come to China this time was to get a better understanding of their culture and ideologies, which might aid him in understanding the Form and Will Fist technique better!
Pu Yang's face was exceptionally ugly to behold. The two disciples had already performed outstandingly, far beyond his own expectations. Even an early stage Xiantian master would not be able to block the joint attack they'd unleashed earlier. But unfortunately, they'd been matched against a Xiantian master with partial mastery over the Form and Will Fist technique!
Ultimately, their cultivation levels were still too low. If those two disciples both had a cultivation in the Xiantian realm, they would not fear any opponents!
"That's right. Mount Longhu is a Taoist Sect, so you won't go back on your words, right?"
Yagyu Mimoto pressed on coldly. These were pills which could allow Evolved Jing masters to break through to the Xiantian realm! If he could bring the entire batch back this time, their Itoh clan would immediately gain numerous Xiantian experts, overpowering all the other large clans around them!
"Hmph! The words of my Mount Longhu will naturally be honored!"
Pu Yang took out a jade bottle from his robe’s pocket and flung it towards Itoh Junji.
"Hur hur. Interesting. Did you really take my China to be without talent?"
A light chuckle sounded out of nowhere as a figure materialized before Itoh Junji. A palm stretched out and grabbed at the air. With a closer look, the jade bottle was being held firmly in the hands of that mysterious figure!
