Chapter 35: Battle of the same realm

The battle that both had been eagerly anticipating had now officially commenced. They charged towards each other as swiftly as the wind, their eyes brimming with a battle intent so intense that it would instill fear in any creature daring enough to come near.

Jun Wu Xiao did not hesitate and launched a direct punch towards Yue Guang, who reciprocated with a punch of her own.

Now that they were of equal realms, Yue Guang did not shy away from the direct confrontation with Jun Wu Xiao.

The two people’s fists collided directly with each other, making the viewer feel like it could crush everything if placed in the middle.

The impact rebounded their fists, and at the point of contact, damage was inflicted. It’s a coincidence that both of them chose to retreat at this moment. It was only now that Jun Wu Xiao truly felt that the difference in their strength was no longer as it had been before.

He felt an injury he had never experienced before in his battles with her. This injury was due to her physical strength not being any less than his.

A completely balanced battle in terms of strength made his fighting spirit constantly expand. This time he wanted to have an exhilarating fight.

Yue Guang also felt his current strength and was evidently pleased, she thought:

"Ha ha, excellent. Now, there is no difference in strength between him and me. The opportunity to defeat him has appeared. Now, it’s just a matter of seeing whose combat skills are superior."

"Ha ha ha ha. Continue." Jun Wu Xiao laughed heartily before charging forward at maximum speed.

"Take this!" Yue Guang shouted as she quickly moved towards him, her eyes flashing with a fierce combat intent that would terrify anyone who saw it.

Yue Guang was filled with determination, not knowing what the outcome of the battle would be, but at this moment, she was trying her hardest to achieve victory.

Countless sounds of collisions echoed as a large area of the Kunlun Mountains was upheaved by their battle, trees were snapped, and animals fled in panic.

Countless sounds of collisions echoed as a large area of the Kunlun Mountains was upheaved by their battle. Trees were snapped, and animals fled in panic.

Were they concerned about this? Of course not. Right now, all they had in mind was to fight. And as for the broken trees, new ones would grow back in the same spots within a few decades or centuries, a duration insignificant to them.

Dao San Qian stood at a safe distance, observing seriously. He also had to move frequently as the two fighters scattered chaos all around. By now, they had moved miles away from where they had started.

"Haiz, these two lunatics are fighting to the point of not caring about anything else. Well, let it be, this is indeed worth watching. Watching them perform is better than not gaining anything from it. But I must admit, they are now much stronger than me. It’s only temporary, though. According to my estimates, in about twenty-some years, I’ll reach this level too." Dao San Qian said while observing.

Jun Wu Xiao landed a punch on Yue Guang’s face, but at the same time, she struck him with a similar blow. Both of their jaws shifted to one side, and they were thrown back, blood spurting from their mouths. Fortunately, their teeth were strong enough not to be knocked out.

Despite their injuries, such minor wounds could not deter their fighting spirit. Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang quickly adjusted their jaws back into place and continued their onslaught without pausing.

"Ha ha ha ha. Continue, today whoever exhausts their strength first will lose." Jun Wu Xiao laughed and yelled out.

"Huh, the victory must be mine." Yue Guang replied defiantly.

Jun Wu Xiao was kicked by Yue Guang, sending him flying towards Dao San Qian. Dao San Qian, startled by the unexpected projectile heading his way, had to use all his speed to dodge and avoid getting involved.

"Damn it, these two really don’t care where I am. I’m much weaker than you both; watch out or you might actually kill me." Dao San Qian cursed.

He just wanted to sit back and observe, but unexpectedly, he almost got caught in the crossfire. At that moment, he heightened his vigilance to avoid a similar situation again.

For a moment, his attention shifted to the scenery around him. The once tranquil forest landscape had turned into a scene of devastation. The ground was pitted with large holes, huge boulders were shattered, and trees were either snapped or completely uprooted.

"These two maniacs really know how to wreak havoc. But I feel that after this battle, they will realize how their actions have affected the scenery. In the future, there might not be another chance to watch them fight each other unless a more suitable battleground is found." Dao San Qian thought.

Having known the two for decades, he obviously understood them. Normally, they didn’t like to ruin the scenery, but right now, in the heat of battle, they didn’t pay it any mind.

They didn’t want to destroy the scenery without an important reason. It’s just that looking at beautiful scenery while cultivating makes it less monotonous, although they don’t really need it, having something to look at is still better than nothing.

From the dusty haze, Jun Wu Xiao quickly got up and charged straight toward Yue Guang, throwing a punch.

Since the punch was aimed low, she leaped high to dodge, but it seemed she jumped too high. Seeing the opportunity before him, Jun Wu Xiao thought:

"Now she can’t move in the air. This is a good chance to strike. But if I jump up, my movement will also be limited. What should I do?"

Suddenly, he spotted a rock on the ground and an idea flashed through his mind. He quickly grabbed the rock and threw it with all his might towards her.

The rock flew fast like a bullet towards Yue Guang. She was caught off guard by this sudden attack. She thought:

"I’ve made a mistake. Now I can’t dodge."

Knowing she had no leverage in the air to maneuver, she had no choice but to block. She quickly swung her hand, her fingers touched the side of the rock, and she used her strength to deflect its course.

Clearly, she was successful. Although her finger was slightly scratched due to the impact of friction, she could still accept such a small injury.

Now back on the ground, she quickly charged towards her opponent to launch an attack. Jun Wu Xiao did the same, and the area they traversed was upheaved. Soil and vegetation were tossed about by their movements.

Both were now covered in fresh blood, their bodies adorned with wounds. Their eyes gradually became dull, yet their intent to fight did not diminish. At this moment, both were determined to win.

Even though Jun Wu Xiao had won in the past, he never felt it was a significant achievement. He knew that his realm had always been higher than Yue Guang’s in previous fights, so his victories were expected. A draw or loss would only prove him incompetent.

But this time was different, his opponent was someone whose strength matched his own. For this reason, he wanted to defeat her in this battle.

Yue Guang harbored the exact same intention. To her, previous losses were due to a difference in strength, but this time, with equal power, another loss would mean only one thing: she was a failure.

Jun Wu Xiao shouted:

"Dao San Qian, this time you might really need to carry us back for real."

Dao San Qian, quietly observing until then, was startled by the shout but found nothing unreasonable about it. He thought:

"These two will probably fight until they’re unconscious without being able to determine a winner. They both want to defeat the other, but from what I’ve observed, in terms of both combat ability and strength, neither can surpass the other."

It wasn’t unusual for him to be able to observe the battle. It’s like people can see an arrow flying but can’t run as fast as it.

Before he could reply, he saw that although both were bleeding profusely, they continued to rush back into battle. Even without responding, he was ready to agree, so he continued to watch, regretting only that he had nothing to snack on while enjoying the spectacle.

They fought from when the sun was high until only darkness remained. By then, Jun Wu Xiao also realized he didn’t have much energy left, he though:

"I bet everything on this last punch."

Yue Guang was in no better condition, also planning to gamble her remaining strength on a final move.

Their expressions were no longer as lively as at the start. Although their fighting spirit remained undiminished, their eyes were dull and glazed. Their bodies were heavily injured, with bruises and cuts everywhere, and their clothes soaked in blood.

They charged at each other once more, but their speed had significantly decreased, each step heavy. They mustered their last bit of energy to throw punches at each other’s faces, at this moment neither had the strength to dodge, only to endure and see whose endurance was greater.

The punches landed, leaving both dazed and simultaneously collapsing to the ground. Finally, the battle had come to an end.
