Chapter 16

Yun Xie was shot backward like a slingshot, while Mu Shaohuang only moved three steps. Yun Xie spat out some blood. Quite the devastating blow…. Now it was time he got a little more serious… The epic… Last stand thing in anime. Unveiling of is true power and whatnot.

He had really underestimated the power of a Virtuous Paragon. Guess he should use it after all….

"[Amplify] x 2."

"Hiken: Fire Fist x Kaishan: Seaquake." Yun Xie swung his fist, it burned a lot brighter than before, the fire shooting forwards at an even faster speed, roasting the surrounding area. It seemed to emit shockwaves across the whole entire plain each second.

Mu Shaohuang could feel the heat and shockwaves, which almost pushed him back, even when it was only halfway there.

Something about that unnerved him…

He dodged to the side, as the powerful attack roared past his head, completely annihilating a mountain into smithereens. A huge ripple of fire spread out, incinerating rubble, and part of Mu Shaohuangs robe, who stumbled a bit.

The old man stepped out of the rubble, looking at his hands, which were pretty bruised, and his back, which was scarred by the very impact of the shockwaves.

Yun Xie scratched his head. Kaishan, or Seaquake, was an extremely powerful move used by Whitebeard…. But it was not even at sea so…. What would he call it?

Putting that aside, Yun Xie burst forwards, a jet of fire blazing behind him.

Mu Shaohuang was a little shocked. To think a "mortal" managed to injure him. Quite a surprise.

Though it was just a few external injuries, nothing much. But still impressive that is.

"Gum Gum Whip x Hiken: Fire Fist!" Yun Xie swung his leg in a vicious arc, while also sending a barrage of fire, which smashed into Mu Shaohuang, who was sent back a single step.

"I can't really stay away from the peak for too long, as I did swear upon my name….." Mu Shaohuang scratched his head.

"Sorry…. Let's finish it with our next attacks I guess….?" Yun Xie leaped back, smiling.

"Come." Mu Shaohuang stood there, waiting for Yun Xie to attack.

"Well, lemme show you the true power of Fire Fist Ace!" Yun Xie started running forwards at a slow pace.

"Fire FIst A'Te?" Mu Shaohuang was sort of confused. He had never, in all his life, heard a name like that….

[Amplify] x 3

"Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor!" Yun Xie smiled, amassed a ginormous swirling fireball, it shone like the sun, radiating heat across the whole entire plain. It was about the size of a mountain, the rocks, and earth around it was literally melting into magma. The [Amplify] ability had taken it up a whole notch.

Mu Shaohuang gulped a little. This…. Could be bad if he didn't do anything. His aura at the Virtuos Paragon level flared, causing a resounding boom, but it was overshadowed by the sound of Yun Xie's searing flames.

On the other side…..

Elder Rong looked up in awe and horror. This… Was this the power at the Virtuos Paragon stage?

On one side, that man from the Heavenly Crow Peak, turning out to be a peak stage Virtuous Paragon, was fighting against that new sect celebrity, the rogue cultivator "Unpronounceable" Fire Fist.

From what they had heard from one of the more reserved and intelligent disciples, Yun Xie had asked the old man for a spar, which the old man promptly accepted, revealing his Paragon strength. What Elder Xiao, who was next to Elder Rong did not understand was why he had revealed his strength. Were ancestors really that…. Impatient?

Would it not be better to just keep his strength a secret?

He shook his head and did not think about it anymore, focusing back on the current situation at hand.

Mu Shaohuang readied himself, as the huge "sun" was thrown at him in a vortex of fire.

He charged forwards, flexing his scarred fist, thrusting out in a powerful punch, worthy of one at the Virtuous Paragon Stage.

*FWOOM!!!!*

The elders were pushed back a few miles by the impact of the fight. A giant burning mushroom cloud rose up into the air, spreading outwards.

Mu Shaohuang stepped out of the explosion, coughing a little, as a gash on his fist and a few burn marks trailed down his chest.

On the other side, Yun Xie was completely bruised, with a little bit of blood dripping down the side of his mouth. He clapped his hands, dousing the spreading flames. Wiping some blood off his mouth, he walked over to Mu Shaohuang, who smiled.

"Not bad kid…." Mu Shaohuang was truly impressed by Yun Xie's display.

"I could do better than that…." Yun Xie stretched a little, before taking a small wooden box out of his pocket. He flicked it open with one finger and popped something into his mouth.

Senzu Beans. They were a sickly green and tasted sort of like fish and celery for some reason. Soon, all of Yun Xie's wounds closed and he felt refreshed.

Mu Shaohuang widened his eyes. This guy…. He had an item that could heal himself? And that fast? What in the world was he?

Yun Xie tossed three beans to Mu Shaohuang, who looked at him in shock. "Eat one. The other two are payments. Haven't had such a fight in quite a while… That was fun."

Mu Shaohuang swallowed the bean, and something happened. "What…." Mu Shaohuangs hand trembled. He felt his body's blood energy replenishing and some old injuries that had been accumulated throughout the years disappear. These beans…. What the hell?

He was shocked. With this thing…. Mu Shaohuang could probably live another lifetime! For such an item to exist in this universe…

Was it the seed of the fabled Longevity Grass, one of the Heavenly Tre-

"It's called a Senzu Bean. Only I possess them. Don't ask much about them." Yun Xie whispered a little, and Mu Shaohuang nodded. They walked away chatting amicably. Mu Shaohuang had earned Yun Xie's respect. He truly was strong, those fist techniques were no joke.

One of the other reasons Yun Xie had given him the beans was because it would make life more interesting…. More chaotic. He was going to hand out more in the future. Only the cat master Karin could produce them so Yun Xie knew they would not spread.

In the future, Yun Xie was planning on creating a few crazy disastrous situations. It would be fun for him, and some other people, but to a few losers….. Not so much. Actually… A lot of losers.
