Chapter 643 - 643: Four Beast Soul Transformations

BOOM!

The power of the Human King Realm exploded on Zhou Yongyang's arm.

His protective Primordial Power shattered instantly. His body slammed onto the battle stage with a THUD, tumbling for nearly a hundred meters before coming to a stop.

The force of the lightning had been mostly blocked by the Wild Elephant.

But the pure Human King Realm power in Chu Qingyun's fist was not something the Primordial Power and body of a Level Nine Martial Spirit could withstand.

At that moment, the Observation Platform was completely silent.

No one could have imagined that at the critical moment, Chu Qingyun would charge forward and send Zhou Yongyang flying with a single punch, completely turning the tables in one move!

A hundred meters away, Zhou Yongyang staggered to his feet, looking utterly disheveled, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

As he looked at Chu Qingyun, his eyes were filled with fury and hatred.

At the same time, he was also reeling with shock.

'I've used all four forms of the Hundred Beasts Fist Manual, but I was still defeated. This can only mean one thing: whether in terms of raw power or the Intention Realm, Chu Qingyun is stronger than me!'

"Chu Qingyun, I guess I underestimated you, to think you could actually injure me…" Zhou Yongyang said, staring at Chu Qingyun.

"What, are you admitting defeat?" Chu Qingyun said.

"Admit defeat? Heh heh… Chu Qingyun, you're a little too sure of yourself."

A savage expression appeared on Zhou Yongyang's face. "This next move… I was originally saving it for Shen Hao. Since it seems I won't be facing him, I'll just have to let you experience it instead."

"Four Beast Soul Transformations!"

"AAAAAHHH…!"

Zhou Yongyang let out a furious roar and clenched his fists. From within his body, four streams of different-colored Qi erupted, swirling around him without pause.

Amid the roiling streams of Qi, his body began to swell at a rate visible to the naked eye, his skin darkening considerably.

'Chu Qingyun could tell at a glance that Zhou Yongyang was performing some kind of special Secret Technique.'

His mind immediately flashed to the Blood Bear Transformation Secret Technique he'd witnessed back in Flame City. That was the very technique that had allowed Zhao Xiaolong's power to skyrocket, giving Chu Qingyun a great deal of trouble.

The Secret Technique Zhou Yongyang was using now was likely of the same type, but it was clearly far more advanced than the Blood Bear Transformation.

After using the Blood Bear Transformation, Zhao Xiaolong's body had changed dramatically. He had even grown sharp claws and long fur, and his sanity had been suppressed.

In contrast, Zhou Yongyang's body had only swelled, and his skin had grown much darker.

Aside from that, there were no other significant changes.

It takes a while to describe, but the whole process, from starting the Secret Technique to its completion, only took two or three breaths.

The four-colored streams of Qi all shot back into Zhou Yongyang's body.

The current Zhou Yongyang was now exceptionally tall and powerfully built. His entire body radiated a violent, frenzied, and somewhat chaotic aura.

"To cultivate this Secret Technique, I refined the Beast Souls of four Tier Three Demon Beasts within my own body. I nearly died and suffered immensely!"

"Chu Qingyun, I'll give you one last chance. Do you concede?"

After he spoke, Zhou Yongyang's eyes were fixed on Chu Qingyun. His body tensed, crouching slightly as he gathered his power, ready to pounce.

"If you want me to concede, you'll have to show me you have the strength to make me," Chu Qingyun said, leveling his longsword.

However, his expression grew much more serious.

'Zhou Yongyang and Shen Hao were arguably the two strongest disciples in the Saint Extreme Sect's Outer Sect. If Zhou Yongyang prepared this Four Beast Soul Transformations Secret Technique to deal with Shen Hao, it definitely wasn't going to be simple!'

Hearing Chu Qingyun's refusal, a cold, knowing sneer spread across Zhou Yongyang's face.

"In that case… then die!"

With a furious roar, Zhou Yongyang blurred into an afterimage and shot toward Chu Qingyun.

"Thunder Sword!"

This time, however, Chu Qingyun didn't defend passively. He went on the offensive, unleashing a bolt of lightning to intercept Zhou Yongyang.

But Zhou Yongyang's speed was astonishing. He instantly shifted to the side, dodging the blow.

"Tiger Roar Divine Fist!"

Zhou Yongyang threw a punch. Amidst a piercing roar, a striped, ferocious tiger materialized and lunged at Chu Qingyun, fangs and claws bared.

"Lightning Sword!"

Purple light flared from Chu Qingyun's sword as he slashed at the ferocious tiger.

However, just as the Sword Light was about to land, a flicker of intelligence glinted in the tiger's eyes. It reared up and precisely caught the descending blade of light with its two front paws!

"What… Break!"

Chu Qingyun was stunned for a moment but recovered instantly. He drove his arm down with force, and the Lightning Sword plunged downward, tearing through the tiger's body.

But after cleaving halfway through, it ground to a halt, unable to cut any deeper.

'Previously, Chu Qingyun could easily shatter Zhou Yongyang's Fierce Tiger Divine Fist with just his Thunder Sword. But now, the same move had actually managed to stop his Lightning Sword!'

'The Lightning Sword might have less explosive power than the Thunder Sword, but in terms of sharpness and cutting edge, it was vastly superior!'

"Heh heh, Chu Qingyun, did you think this was just some simple Secret Technique?"

"Die… Flying Leopard Divine Fist!"

Zhou Yongyang barked, spinning on the spot before launching another fist at Chu Qingyun.

This time, with the roar of a leopard, an agile Flying Leopard sprang forth, pouncing at Chu Qingyun.

'He's actually abandoning the Fierce Tiger Divine Fist?'

Chu Qingyun frowned, puzzled.

'Zhou Yongyang already had the upper hand in the clash between his Fierce Tiger Divine Fist and the Lightning Sword. Why would he abandon his advantage to throw a different punch?'

But the Flying Leopard was already upon him; this was no time for idle thoughts.

With a flicker of thought, Chu Qingyun dissipated the Lightning Sword on his blade and immediately conjured it again to meet the pouncing Flying Leopard.

Just then, a sinister smile flashed across Zhou Yongyang's face.

Just as Chu Qingyun dispelled his Lightning Sword, the fierce tiger—the one Zhou Yongyang had seemingly abandoned—suddenly lunged forward, its cavernous maw snapping at him.

'How is this possible!?'

Shock coursed through Chu Qingyun.

Fortunately, his combat experience was vast. The moment he saw the tiger lunge, his body reacted instinctively, dodging backward.

Even so, the tiger's claws still managed to rake across his chest.

A burst of power, infused with Zhou Yongyang's Fist Intent, erupted from the gash. It felt like taking a direct punch to the wound, sending Chu Qingyun staggering backward.

After its attack, the tiger slowly dissipated in mid-air as it fell.

Though injured, Chu Qingyun snapped back to his senses instantly. He immediately unleashed his Lightning Sword, a flurry of slashes shredding the Flying Leopard Divine Fist to pieces.

Blood streamed freely from the wound on his chest.

But Chu Qingyun's eyes were filled with utter confusion.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yongyang didn't press his attack. He seemed to be savoring the look of confusion and disbelief on Chu Qingyun's face.
