“Such a powerful aura!”
“Just the aura alone makes it hard for me to breathe. It’s unimaginable how much power is contained in that punch.”
“And his punch’s power keeps increasing!”
“Could this be the final move of the ‘Explosive Fist’—the Stored Power Explosion Punch?”
When they heard the words “Stored Power Explosion Punch,” the onlookers couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
The Stored Power Explosion Punch as the name suggests is a punch that creates an explosive effect by accumulating Qi.
It’s the most powerful technique in the ‘Explosive Fist’ martial art.
Both in explosive power and range of impact, it surpasses all the other techniques in the ‘Explosive Fist’ by hundreds or even thousands of times. It can take out multiple targets with a single punch, and it’s even capable of toppling city walls with one blow.
Due to its tremendous power, even those who use this technique can’t withstand its force and often end up injuring themselves.
Therefore, this move has become the ‘kill a thousand enemies and harm yourself eight hundred’ forbidden technique of the ‘Explosive Fist.’
“He’s even using such a terrifying technique. Is he planning to go all out?”
“Even if that man’s body is incredibly tough, he can’t possibly withstand this punch, can he?”
“That’s for sure. If he’s hit by this punch, that man will undoubtedly die!”
For a moment, the onlookers couldn’t help but worry for Jiang Yuan.
Even though Jiang Yuan had just blocked a sword with his body unharmed, that was merely a strike without Qi reinforcement. A weapon with Qi reinforcement was fundamentally different from one without it.
It was well known that Qi reinforcement on a weapon could increase its sharpness, and similarly, Qi reinforcement on armor could enhance its durability. The extent to which these improvements occurred depended on the amount of Qi the martial artist possessed. The higher a martial artist’s cultivation level, the greater the effect.
Even a piece of junk metal could become as powerful as a precious weapon when infused with the Qi of a strong practitioner, while a precious weapon without Qi reinforcement couldn’t exhibit its full potential.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the reason Jiang Yuan remained unharmed when Zhao Zhan attacked was because Zhao Zhan had been too arrogant to reinforce his sword with Qi.
Now, Zhao Zhan had accumulated nearly all of his Qi into this one punch, and its power far surpassed that of a regular sword strike.
“I advise you not to use this move,” Jiang Yuan warned with some concern as he observed Zhao Zhan preparing to unleash his ultimate technique.
Feeling the power gathering in his fist, Zhao Zhan was brimming with confidence. “What do you think now? Are you afraid?”
“Hit me with one punch and you might die,” Jiang Yuan replied emotionlessly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
“I’ll die? Hahaha, it’s you who’s afraid of dying!” Zhao Zhan caught up in the surge of power, and swung his fist charged with a massive amount of Qi, striking directly at Jiang Yuan’s face.
In the face of this terrifying punch, Jiang Yuan remained completely unfazed, standing still without any reaction as the fist came at him.
The onlookers gazed at Jiang Yuan with pity, almost able to picture him being obliterated by the punch.
However, what happened next completely exceeded their imagination!
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, a terrifying energy burst in front of Jiang Yuan, forming a scorching fireball several meters in diameter that engulfed both Zhao Zhan and Jiang Yuan simultaneously.
The shockwave from the explosion spread out in all directions which caused the street’s pavement to crack, and the onlookers were knocked off their feet.
As the shockwave expanded, the hazy figure of Zhao Zhan was thrown out of the fireball and crashed heavily into a wall about ten meters away.
After the commotion of the explosion subsided, the onlookers finally turned their attention to Zhao Zhan.
Zhao Zhan’s entire upper body had been blown to a pulp with almost no intact parts left. If it weren’t for his lower body retaining its original shape, they wouldn’t have recognized him.
Seeing Zhao Zhan’s gruesome condition, the onlookers couldn’t help but swallow hard.
The power of the Stored Power Explosion Punch was simply terrifying!
After using the technique, even Zhao Zhan himself was in such a state. They could only imagine how dire Jiang Yuan’s fate might be.
With these thoughts in mind, the onlookers turned to look at the center of the explosion.
“Is the man’s body still there?”
“Hit by such a terrifying attack, he’s probably been reduced to dust, right?”
“It’s hard to say. Since he could withstand a sword attack, maybe there’s a chance he survived.”
The onlookers craned their necks, trying to get a better look through the dissipating smoke.
As the smoke gradually cleared, the silhouette of a person emerged.
The entire scene fell into complete silence.
Everyone was frozen in place, staring blankly at the figure.
The person stood intact like an unmovable statue. Although their clothes were burned, from head to toe, not a single hair was missing.
Moreover, they hadn’t moved a millimeter from their previous position; they maintained the same stance as before.
It was as if the explosion just moments ago had been an illusion and had no effect on him whatsoever.
