81: Chapter 81: Confrontation 81: Chapter 81: Confrontation Jialong made a move, his right fist striking towards Ye Shikai’s chest with great speed, reaching Ye Shikai almost instantly.
He exerted about seventy percent of his power, as the world outside spoke highly of the Netherworld King’s combat power.
However, before figuring out Ye Shikai’s true strength, Jialong would not give it his all, especially since this visit to Huaxia was not ant to kill the Netherworld King but to give Ye Shikai a warning.
Ye Shikai, calm and unhurried, channelled his Inner Strength throughout his body.
He did not underestimate Jialong, who was not just any ordinary cultivator or assassin.
As the main warrior assisting Poseidon to rule, his strength was surely extraordinary, and Ye Shikai knew better than to take him lightly.
Ye Shikai did not dodge but instead threw out his right fist, planning to et Jialong’s attack head-on.
In terms of strength, Ye Shikai was the Netherworld King, and even if Poseidon attacked him, he too held reservations.
With no reason to believe he couldn’t win, with a loud ‘bang’, their fists collided, and the energies violently clashed, seemingly tearing the air apart.
The clash was like fire eting water, with the energies violently repelling each other.
Their fists t, the sound thunderous and deafening, the explosive energy scattering in all directions.
The stone walls of the nearby alley, like paper, were directly blown down, dust rising and spreading into the air.
Seen from afar, it looked as though a bomb had exploded.
Passersby at a distance were startled, accustod as they were to peaceful days, and reacted with panic to what seed like a bomb explosion, their screams and exclamations mingling in the air.
Thankfully, there were no people in the few alleys surrounding the two fighters, or else it might have led to innocent casualties.
This commotion would likely soon attract attention, especially in such a bustling area; an explosion here would inevitably lead to police intervention.
As the dust settled, Ye Shikai’s expression slightly changed, but he still stood his ground.
He had used about forty to fifty percent of his Inner Strength.
Against a regular cultivator, such an amount was crushing, but he had to take Jialong seriously.
Considering the gap between Jialong’s strength and his own, he hadn’t exerted his full power yet.
It was best to keep his true strength hidden, especially with soone of Main God level yet to arrive.
On the other hand, Jialong staggered back seven or eight steps.
The saying went that an expert is recognized as soon as they make a move, and the outco of their brief clash was already clear.
Jialong felt nervous, acknowledging the Netherworld King’s exceptional strength, and he was sure Ye had held back.
He found himself at a disadvantage.
Jialong couldn’t help but compare the Netherworld King to his own Sea King, Poseidon.
If he exerted his full strength, he might exchange about ten moves with the Sea King, but with the Netherworld King, perhaps only five…
Fortunately, Jialong wasn’t seriously injured by the strike, or else his predicant would be dire.
He pounded his chest and gasped, “Netherworld King, you truly are formidable.
I’m impressed,” as he clasped his hands and spoke to Ye Shikai.
“I’ve experienced Netherworld King’s prowess myself and know I’m no match, but Lord Poseidon tasked with retrieving that divine stone.
If Netherworld King won’t hand it over, I fear I won’t be able to complete my task.”
“What’s that got to do with ?” Ye Shikai said coldly, sweeping Jialong a disdainful glance.
This man truly started pleading only after he couldn’t win in a fight.
“This… Are you trying to make fight to the death with you?” Jialong’s arms tensed, his eyes gradually reddening as he seed ready to continue the fight.
“A fish may die, but the net…
Isn’t really for you to break,” Ye Shikai stated clearly, indicating that if Jialong wanted to fight, he was welco to try.
If Ye Shikai accidentally killed him though, it would be seen as Jialong’s fault.
“Whoosh,” as soon as Ye Shikai finished speaking, Jialong abruptly stood up, fists flying directly at Ye’s face, unexpectedly resorting to a sneak attack.
Ye Shikai swiftly dodged the punch, his agility showcasing one of the Netherworld King’s advantages; ranking first in speed among the twelve Main Gods, catching him with a sneak attack was unlikely.
With his first punch missing, Jialong imdiately switched to a palm strike, slashing towards Ye Shikai’s neck with all his might.
If this didn’t hit Ye Shikai, Jialong would undeniably lose, forcing him to gamble everything.
“Too slow,” Ye Shikai said coldly, channeling his Inner Strength and quickly moving behind Jialong, dodging the deadly palm strike.
Instead, he swiftly kicked Jialong’s back, knocking him face-first to the ground.
Although Jialong was robust, a single kick wouldn’t severely injure him.
Lying on the ground for a few seconds, Jialong got up and charged at Ye Shikai.
“You’re courting disaster,” Ye Shikai no longer held back.
He had only wanted to cross hands with Jialong at first, but the continued fight, coupled with the police and crowd likely arriving soon, ant he had to end the battle quickly.
Using seventy to eighty percent of his Inner Strength, he vibrated his left hand, blocking Jialong’s punch, and swung his right hand towards Jialong’s chest.
With a “bang”, Jialong was sent flying, blood spurting out.
Ye Shikai’s punch had landed on his right chest, causing severe injury.
Had it hit the left side, it might have ruptured his heart.
Ye Shikai had deliberately spared Jialong’s life, aware that killing Poseidon’s man might lead to a relentless feud
