Chapter 155: Venting Emotions!

Ye Yuan's moves were all too familiar to Su Yishan!

Overlapping Wave Palm, Eightfold Wave!

But the problem was, how could Eightfold Wave have such power?

After exchanging a palm strike with him, he actually held his ground!

No matter how strong Eightfold Wave was, it was only a first-rank martial skill.

Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Liquid Realm, a martial artist at the first layer of Liquid Realm using a first-rank martial skill, yet he had fought to a draw with me, a fourth-layer Liquid Realm martial artist?

Since when did first-rank martial skills become so strong?

Since when did the first layer of Liquid Realm become so strong?

Ye Yuan curled his lips and said discontentedly, "Indeed, first-rank martial skills are no longer sufficient!"

Having just broken through to the Liquid Realm, aside from the movement technique "Void Shattering Step," all of Ye Yuan's martial skills, including the Absolute Yang Finger, were first-rank.

Using first-rank martial skills to fight a fourth-layer Liquid Realm opponent was clearly somewhat inadequate.

Although the previous exchange seemed evenly matched, he was actually at a clear disadvantage.

The impact Ye Yuan received was much greater than Su Yishan's, and he was pushed back farther.

Nanfeng Zhirou was also stunned speechless at the sight and stopped struggling in Yuan Fei's grasp.

Clearly, this scene had brought her no small shock.

Although that palm strike from Su Yishan was not his strongest, he had not held back his strength.

With a second-rank intermediate martial skill and the strength of the fourth layer of Liquid Realm, Ye Yuan should have been severely injured and spitting blood, but he had only retreated a few steps.

Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly remembered something and asked loudly, "Ye Yuan, exactly how many drops of liquid essence did you condense?"

At Nanfeng Zhirou's question, Su Yishan also pricked up his ears; he was equally curious whether it was seven or eight drops.

Ye Yuan did not turn around, only said calmly, "Nine drops."

Su Yishan's eyes widened: "N-nine drops? Impossible! How could anyone in this world condense nine drops of liquid essence without their dantian bursting?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The State of Qin is but a corner of the world; you are merely a frog at the bottom of a well."

"What a joke, I don't believe it! Frog at the bottom of a well? As if you're not from the State of Qin! Haha, I get it—you must have only condensed seven drops and are trying to save face, or maybe you want to shake my resolve!"

It wasn't that Su Yishan refused to believe; rather, nine drops of liquid essence was even more legendary than legend itself. In his conception, it was completely impossible.

Yet Ye Yuan claimed to have condensed nine drops, breaking Su Yishan's absolute understanding, so he chose not to believe.

But deep down, a discordant voice told Su Yishan that Ye Yuan was telling the truth!

Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan, at the first layer of Liquid Realm with a first-rank martial skill, fight him to a standstill?

Although Su Yishan had never seen a martial artist with seven drops of liquid essence, he knew that such a person could never possess such formidable strength!

That is to say, Ye Yuan had condensed at least eight drops, or even the nine drops Su Yishan was unwilling to admit!

"I'm just stating a fact; I don't need you to believe it. Whether you believe it or not, it won't change the outcome," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Hmph! I don't believe it. No matter how monstrous you are, you're only at the first layer of Liquid Realm. Can you defy heaven?" Su Yishan said angrily.

With that, Su Yishan charged again and engaged Ye Yuan in battle.

Their movement techniques were extremely fast, turning into two afterimages that continuously collided, exchanging dozens of blows in the blink of an eye!

Su Yishan's movement technique went without saying; he practiced a second-rank high-level movement technique, no less than Nanfeng Zhirou's "Spirit Swallow Dance"!

However, after Ye Yuan broke through to the Liquid Realm, with the support of vast yuan power, the true power of the first level of "Void Shattering Step" was revealed!

His speed was actually half a step faster than Su Yishan's!

Outsiders couldn't tell, but Su Yishan felt it very clearly.

Because of that half-step difference, his attacks were always half a beat slower than Ye Yuan's, preventing him from unleashing his full power each time.

Ye Yuan's Eightfold Wave and Absolute Yang Finger were both extremely powerful first-rank techniques, especially the Absolute Yang Finger, whose power at this point was incomparable to when he was at the Qi Realm.

Although they couldn't truly harm Su Yishan, they forced him not to ignore them.

Leveraging the advantage of that half-beat, combined with the formidable power of the Absolute Yang Finger and Eightfold Wave, Ye Yuan managed to fight Su Yishan to a draw!

This feeling made Su Yishan so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

He now regretted fighting Ye Yuan like this; he should have unleashed his strongest move from the start and fought to the death.

Now, it was impossible for him to withdraw from the battle.

Ye Yuan seemed to have gone berserk, clinging to him relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

"Damn it! I didn't expect his movement technique to be so strong; I fell for his trap!" Su Yishan cursed inwardly while defending.

His current thought was simple: find an opportunity to break away and then unleash a big move!

However, Ye Yuan simply wouldn't give him that chance.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was like a tireless ox, unleashing all his techniques like a storm upon Su Yishan.

Having just parted from his father in life and death, Ye Yuan's heart was filled with endless sorrow. He turned that sorrow into combat power, releasing it all on Su Yishan!

Now, Su Yishan was merely an object for him to vent his emotions.

Thus, the two exchanged over a hundred rounds within a hundred breaths!

"Bang!"

Another collision, and the two separated.

Ye Yuan finally stopped clinging to Su Yishan; he had vented most of his negative emotions.

After separating, both were panting heavily. Clearly, such high-frequency exchanges were very draining on stamina and yuan power.

After a few breaths, Su Yishan recovered first and said angrily to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, don't think being fast in movement makes you impressive! If you have the ability, try to break this move of mine!"

With that, Su Yishan raised both palms to the sky, the starting stance of the Heaven-Overturning Palm!

Su Yishan was already at the fourth layer of Liquid Realm; executing the Heaven-Overturning Palm now was incomparable to when he was at the academy!

A terrifying aura spread out, giving a feeling of heaven and earth splitting apart.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, composed himself, drew the Canghua Sword, and said calmly, "The warm-up is over. Now, I'll use the Nine Sword Style, perfected thanks to your assassination attempt, to send you on your way."

With that, his figure split, and nine Ye Yuans appeared before Su Yishan.

Su Yishan's pupils contracted at the sight; he hadn't expected Ye Yuan to have such a powerful move hidden!

His duel with Chang Yi had been a flash; at that time, he was fighting Nanfeng Zhirou and hadn't seen how Ye Yuan evaded the assassination.

And in the subsequent sparring, Ye Yuan hadn't used this move.

Seeing it suddenly, the nine figures brought Su Yishan immense shock!
