From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Liu casually swung his left arm, and the instant it touched the opponent's powerful palm, his arm moved like a cow's tongue curling up grass, naturally reaching the opponent's shoulder, turning his palm into a claw, grabbing his shoulder, and pulling him backward.

Zhang Zhiwei felt as if he had hit cotton, and his whole body felt uncomfortable. Then he was grabbed by a force and moved away from Jiang Liu.

He didn't rush to continue, but simply asked, "Are you practicing Tai Chi? You don't need to reverse the eight directions anymore?"

"Dealing with you in your current state seems unnecessary?"

Jiang Liu mimicked Zhang Zhiwei's expression, grinning arrogantly, and waved at Zhang Zhiwei, saying, "Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei chuckled twice and said to Zhang Huaiyi, "Junior brother, go away and don't create any more opportunities for me."

Zhang Huaiyi: "???"

When did he ever think of creating an opportunity for Zhang Zhiwei?

However, after witnessing the entire process of Jiang Liu fighting his senior brother up close, Zhang Huaiyi dared not linger in place. If he were to get involved in the battle between the two, he would likely be injured by the aftershocks.

"Alright, everyone who was not involved has left..."

Zhang Huaiyi: "→_→"

"...Now, we can have a proper contest!" Zhang Zhiwei shuddered, making crackling sounds, and then a layer of dense golden light shot straight into the sky.

With such intense golden light, ordinary people in Yuhang could probably see a golden streak shooting into the sky from the West Lake area simply by looking up.

This also attracted the attention of all the extraordinary people in the city.

"Is this Senior Brother's true mastery of the Golden Light Mantra?" Zhang Huaiyi exclaimed in surprise as the golden light gradually receded until it transformed into a thin layer of Zhang Zhiwei's figure, slowly flowing around him.

Master kept it a secret!

With this level of ability, in three to five years, my senior brother will be able to surpass our master. There's no need to wait until he's thirty!

Zhang Zhiwei, who had condensed the golden light into a thin layer and attached it to his body, did not make a move immediately. He simply watched Jiang Liu quietly, his brows furrowed.

I can't see through it!

After using the Golden Light Mantra, his life cultivation level increased significantly, and he felt that he was no less than his master, but he could not see through Jiang Liu's true nature.

The other party seemed to have melted their life into one, becoming a single entity.

Is it because his cultivation has truly reached the state of returning to simplicity and authenticity?

Or is it because of a special state he could achieve after granting amnesty to other deities within these two years?

[How effective is it? Try it and find out!]

With a single thought, Zhang Zhiwei moved. In an instant, his body seemed to transform into golden light, rushing to Jiang Liu's side while simultaneously creating a vacuum.

Snapped!

Jiang Liu stretched out his arms forward, like a dragon emerging from the sea, stirring up the wind and clouds. In the blink of an eye, he blocked Zhang Zhiwei's palm strike. The shockwave that emanated from the strike forced Zhang Huaiyi, Zhao Xinchuan, and the others to brush their faces to defend themselves.

The golden light clinging to Zhang Zhiwei's palm was partially dispersed, turning into wisps of golden light that dissolved into the air.

"Ok?"

"Are you still using force?"

If the golden light were dispersed by someone with profound cultivation, it wouldn't present a situation where only a part of it dissipates, but rather the entire thing would shatter.

Only by unleashing tremendous force can one achieve the effect of dispersing a portion of that force.

# Chapter 265 Zhang Zhiwei's Defeat

Jiang Liu, who was locked in a physical contest with Zhang Zhiwei, smiled slightly and said, "I've improved quite a bit in the past two years. And lately I've come to enjoy the feeling of fists landing. If that's all you've got, you won't be able to catch me!"

Through the probing just now, he had completely ascertained Zhang Zhiwei's progress over the past two years.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called a "mind monkey" with a naturally full potential!

Great progress!

But he's still not as good as himself.

Even though the Zhengyi Ancestral Court has many mysterious divine incantations, Zhang Zhiwei mainly cultivates the Golden Light Incantation and Thunder Law. The Golden Light Incantation is used to enhance his life cultivation and protect his body, while the Thunder Law is used for killing. Moreover, the people he can usually spar with are his fellow disciples, at most including Zhang Jingqing and other elders who personally train him.

However, given Zhang Zhiwei's personality, he would inevitably hesitate when facing elders like Zhang Jingqing, and might not even resort to underhanded tactics.

Moreover, those older generations probably wouldn't personally spar with Zhang Zhiwei at this stage.

reason?

Losing... well, it's a small loss, but it's still embarrassing!

In short, in Jiang Liu's view, Zhang Zhiwei's only advantage was that his cultivation of life force had improved relatively quickly.

However, Zhang Zhiwei, who only spent two years in seclusion on the mountain, sparring with his fellow disciples and at most with other disciples from other branches of the Zhengyi sect, did not grow as much in combat power as Jiang Liu, who had fought against corpse demons, the earth dragon king of Ping Mountain, Liu Quan who had been resurrected, vampires, Zuo Ruotong, the Qinglong Society, and the snake demon of Leifeng Pagoda.

With the five spirits emerging together, Jiang Liu established the five internal organs and five energies in his chest as the central palace, and cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, Dharma Image Talismans, and Sun and Moon Refining Form Diagram. His cultivation of life force improved extremely quickly, already surpassing Zhang Zhiwei at this time.

Not to mention, he also cultivated his strength to the point of circulating Qi throughout the body!

Unlike the Lu family's Ruyi Jin, which is similar to a wave-like force, his strength is closer to horizontal training, Qi transforming into strength, with the force flowing through the body. All the tendons, bones, muscles, and skin of the whole body can burst out with strength, which can be described as divine.

Now, without using the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, relying solely on his internal energy to circulate throughout his body, he is already comparable to Zhang Zhiwei, who has activated the Golden Light Mantra.

"Humph!"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't understand Tai Chi or the power of fist techniques; he relied solely on his formidable cultivation to fight. With a cold snort, he suddenly struck out with both arms, each punch like a bullet fired from a gun, creating a storm of energy as it hurtled towards Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu used the opponent's force against him, parrying and deflecting Zhang Zhiwei's fierce and relentless punches and palm strikes.

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with the resounding clang of the two forces colliding!

To Zhang Huaiyi, He Anxia, ​​and the others, all they saw were two figures darting through the courtyard, leaving behind afterimages.

However, Zhang Zhiwei made quite a commotion when he moved, stirring up the air and causing the airflow to churn.

The river, however, is as agile as a monkey, running and leaping silently, as if it were one with the air, making it unfathomable.

After nearly seventy rounds of fighting, Zhang Zhiwei distanced himself from Jiang Liu, landing first with both feet and raising his right hand with fingers together.

Hiss!

Several bolts of blue lightning erupted from Jiang Liu's feet as he landed, engulfing his entire body.

"Brother Zhiwei, you're still as cunning as ever."

Jiang Liu chuckled and decided to give Zhang Zhiwei face. He activated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and a thin layer of white, transparent, flame-like Qi appeared around his body, along with a white Qi ribbon behind him.

When the lightning struck it, the mind and will circulate the water and fire energies, directly transforming the blue lightning into its most basic energy state.

It wasn't damaged in the slightest!

"There's nothing I can do, your progress seems to have exceeded my expectations, so I can only use some tricks on you."

Zhang Zhiwei looked around, front and back, up and down, especially examining the soles of his feet in detail. Only after confirming that Jiang Liu had not placed any magnetic field near his feet did he breathe a sigh of relief and laugh, "But now it seems that I have made more progress. You didn't even have time to place a magnetic field under my feet!"

But I can still plant mines!

And that wispy ribbon behind you...

It looks somewhat similar to the Reverse Life Triple Stage of the San Yi Sect? Is it because you cultivated it internally along with your Reversal of Eight Directions technique that you have such a powerful physique?

"It does indeed originate from the Triple Rebirth Technique of the Sanyi Sect, but I modified it based on my own innate abilities, calling it the Ninefold Rebirth Technique. Combined with the Eight Directions Reversal Technique, it is named—"

"Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!"

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Liu took a step forward, as if he had crossed space and transcended time.

This moment.

Everything in the world seemed to slow down in Jiang Liu's eyes.

The actions of Zhao Xinchuan, He Anxia, ​​Chengzhen, Zhao Qian, and others in opening their mouths and waving their hands seemed to be slowed down dozens of times, making them appear like puppets, almost unable to move.

Zhang Zhiwei was the same, but his trembling eyes suggested that he seemed to have noticed Jiang Liu's actions.

but.

Zhang Zhiwei's body couldn't react in time.

When Jiang Liu reappeared in front of Zhang Zhiwei, his right palm was already pressed on his face, and five colorful streams of light flashed in an instant.

Snapped--

A crisp sound was heard.

Zhang Zhiwei felt dizzy and disoriented. His head tilted back, his feet left the ground, and he lost his balance. After spinning 720 degrees in mid-air, his lower body slammed heavily onto the ground.

In an instant.

The entire room fell silent!

Zhang Huaiyi's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, his chin hung down to his throat, and his body trembled uncontrollably: "Senior...Senior Brother, we actually lost!"

That's the number one young person in the Celestial Master's Mansion!

Zhang Huaiyi was certain that even if his master personally disciplined him, it wouldn't be possible to take down Zhang Zhiwei so easily; it would have taken a lot of effort.

But when Jiang Liu gets serious, he can instantly defeat Zhang Zhiwei!

Doesn't that mean the river's flow has already exceeded...?

wrong!

It's impossible to surpass my master!

But he's probably capable of rivaling his master...

Is this really a human being?

If a person with extraordinary abilities is too outstanding, surpassing the average level in the world of extraordinary people, they will definitely be feared by others.

But when a person's strength far surpasses the average level in the world of superhumans, others can only feel awe, respect, and even worship towards them.

Zhao Xinchuan, He Anxia, ​​and Chengzhen, who hadn't seen clearly what had just happened, kept swallowing, their eyes filled with longing.

All that remained in Zhao Qian and the others' eyes was admiration and worship!

Two minutes later.
