Chapter 344 - 219: Enemies on a Narrow Road
At the same time, King Changping also spotted Fang Yue.
The moment his gaze landed on Fang Yue, a frenzied vitality erupted in his exhausted yet still-sharp eyes.
It was like a traveler in a vast desert suddenly spotting an oasis. That desperate, tenacious craving for life invigorated King Changping’s very aura.
"Heh heh, the heavens have truly blessed me! Food has delivered itself right to my doorstep!"
An indescribable excitement laced his hoarse voice. To the extremely weakened King Changping, Fang Yue’s appearance was undoubtedly a life-saving medicine, a glimpse of hope for survival.
Under King Changping’s gaze, Fang Yue couldn’t help but feel his heart palpitate.
He could clearly sense the intense desire to survive and the wild tension radiating from the man before him.
He felt this person was like a beast on the brink of death, and any prey that dared approach would become the target of its frenzied counterattack.
The next moment, King Changping attacked Fang Yue. The Cultivation Technique he practiced allowed him to plunder the life force of others to heal his injuries.
And in the young man before him, he sensed a vibrant wellspring of life.
It was far more abundant than that of an ordinary Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist.
King Changping’s figure blurred, transforming into an afterimage as he rushed before Fang Yue with the speed of a lightning strike.
Black Qi swirled around his palm, emitting a sinister and eerie aura that seemed capable of devouring all life.
Fang Yue’s heart jumped in alarm. He could feel the terrifying power contained within King Changping’s palm strike.
However, Fang Yue was no pushover.
After a moment of surprise, he immediately calmed himself.
Facing King Changping’s terrifying strike, Fang Yue took a deep breath, and the True Qi in his body surged forth like a torrential flood.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, meeting King Changping’s attack head-on.
His fist, cloaked in vigorous Primordial Qi, shone like a brilliant star as it blasted toward King Changping’s palm with unparalleled force.
BANG!
A deafening explosion erupted between them. The powerful shockwave spread outward, shaking the surrounding trees so violently they seemed about to break.
King Changping felt a tremendous force travel up from Fang Yue’s fist, numbing his arm and nearly causing the churning Qi and blood in his body to run amok.
He was utterly shocked. ’I can’t believe this seemingly ordinary young man possesses such incredible strength.’
Fang Yue hadn’t escaped unscathed either. He felt a sinister, cold energy from King Changping’s palm trying to invade his body and plunder his life force.
His heart went cold, and he immediately mobilized the vigorous Primordial Qi within him to resist.
His purely yang Primordial Qi clashed with King Changping’s sinister, cold energy, the two forces grinding against and canceling each other out.
Both men simultaneously retracted their hands and retreated several steps, staring warily at each other without a word.
They both knew they had met their match.
King Changping stared at Fang Yue, a storm of shock raging in his heart. He had assumed Fang Yue was just an ordinary young man, but to his astonishment, the youth had not only withstood his attack but also possessed such vigorous Primordial Qi.
That level of power had already surpassed that of an ordinary Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist. It was even on par with King Changping’s own current strength.
"Young man, who are you? And why are you here?" King Changping asked in a deep voice.
He knew Fang Yue was no ordinary person; he was likely connected to the imperial court or some other major power by a web of intricate ties.
Fang Yue watched King Changping, his own mind racing.
’That attire...’ he thought. ’I’ve heard it described somewhere before.’
Various pieces of information flashed through Fang Yue’s mind. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and he recognized the man’s identity.
This had to be one of the Rebel Kings from Guangfeng Prefecture—the very one with whom he had a feud. The rebel, King Changping!
