LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 357: One Move is Enough to Deal with You!
The sunset cast its fading glow as Hua Youque stood with one hand behind his back and the other holding a folding fan. If not for the flamboyantly extravagant attire he was wearing, he would have appeared to have a dash of elegance at least superficially.

Ye Feng simply smiled indifferently. He then leisurely stepped forward into the martial arts training field, walking up to Hua Youque.
Hua Youque said with a smile, "Northern King of Xuanyuan Nation, a name that resounds with great fame. It is a great honor to duel with you today. It's just that I see you are merely at the peak of Martial King Realm and have yet to reach the Realm of the Divine Path."
At these words, the corners of Hua Youque's mouth lifted in a mocking tone as he said, "To be fair, I'll allow you the use of one weapon, of course, a treasure weapon would also be acceptable. Otherwise, if the word spreads out, people in the martial arts world might say that my victory over you was not won by true martial prowess."
At that moment, Ye Feng laughed as well, replying with an indifferent smile, "Sorry, to deal with you, I don't even need to use a weapon!"
The smile on Hua Youque's face instantly faded, and he hissed through clenched teeth, "You really have a big mouth. Since that's the case, let me tell you, it will take me only three moves, just three, to defeat you!"
"If you can still stand unharmed after three moves, then consider it my loss!"
"Three moves?" Ye Feng shook his head slightly. He then said, "For you, one move is enough!"
"Arrogant and ignorant fool!" Hua Youque exploded in anger, his aura bursting forth in an instant. The overwhelming aura swept across the field, creating a maelstrom of flying sand and stones, with even the surrounding flora rustling wildly.
It must be said that for Hua Youque to reach the First Stage of the Divine Path Realm at such a young age was a testament to his talent. The mistake, however, was in encountering a monster like Ye Feng.
"Condense!" Hua Youque formed a Dharma Seal, and in front of him, a brilliantly golden folding fan emerged. This was his Object of the Divine Path - the folding fan hadn't even been opened yet, but a formidable aura was already cascading from it.
"Down!" A sweeping motion from Hua Youque's Great Hand caused the folding fan to snap open with a whish, and with a forward flick, a terrifying gale surged towards Ye Feng like a tempestuous storm.
The raging winds were powerful and even carried the threat of thunder within them, showcasing the extraordinary nature of his Divine Path treasure, the folding fan.
To everyone's shock, at this moment, Ye Feng still stood erect and unmoving. He didn't even deign to look at his opponent; to those unaware of his strength, it might seem as if he was paralyzed by fright.
After all, to onlookers, Ye Feng was just at the peak of the Martial King Realm, which was a huge gap compared to Divine Path Realm's Hua Youque.
Yu Feiyu, witnessing this, became anxious and couldn't help but exclaim, "Big Brother Ye, dodge quickly!"
Hua Youque himself snorted coldly, "Too late to dodge now!"
In fact, Ye Feng did not make any attempt to dodge. The terrifying gale engulfed him instantly, as he took the full brunt of the attack with his own body.
"What's happening? Why isn't he defending himself?" Even Yu Xianhe couldn't fathom what was happening. Although he knew Ye Feng was strong and understood Hua Youque stood no chance against him, he did not believe that Ye Feng could afford to disregard his opponent's attack to such an extent.
But in the next moment, the crowd was once again dumbstruck. As the violent gale subsided, Ye Feng remained immovable, standing right in his original place, not only without falling but without even a single hair out of place.
"What, how is this possible!" Hua Youque stared with wide eyes, a look of disbelief spreading across his face, and the other three elders of the Flora Sect were all petrified on the spot.
"After all, that was a strike from a Divine Path Realm powerhouse, and he didn't put up any resistance at all, he just bore it with his flesh body, how is this possible, how could he have done that!" the three Flora Sect elders thought to themselves, shaken.
Yu Xianhe, upon seeing this, had a surge of emotion in his eyes, and soon joy and excitement appeared on his face. Of course, he could already tell that the Ye Feng standing before him was no longer the same Ye Feng he knew from a short while ago.
The old saying "treat someone with newfound respect after three days of absence" applied exactly to this situation. Yu Xianhe could feel that Ye Feng had grown much, much stronger than before.
In fact, Yu Xianhe was not wrong. Although Ye Feng's realm had not changed, his combat power had experienced a tremendous increase, especially after obtaining the Divine Path Heavenly Edict. His Qi Strength Quality kept improving, and even his flesh body underwent a massive improvement.
With the current robustness of his flesh body, not even the first-stage warriors of the Divine Path Realm could slightly trouble him without resistance. This was the benefit of upgrading Qi Strength Quality, which proved the power of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict.
Of course, the quality of Qi Force inside Ye Feng's body was still incomparable to that of Hong Qingyan. What circulated in Hong Qingyan's Dantian Divine Mansion was Spirit Essence, which was liquid, while Ye Feng's was still gaseous, only denser than before.
It was conceivable that as long as Hong Qingyan continued her cultivation, honing her flesh body with Spirit Essence, her flesh body would soon become terrifyingly strong.
"You still have two moves left!" Ye Feng slowly raised his head, looking coldly at Hua Youque.
Hua Youque snapped back from his shock, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Impossible, you cannot possibly withstand my attack with just your flesh body. You must have a Treasure Weapon hidden on you. I don't believe you can hold out much longer!"
With that, Hua Youque clutched the brilliantly golden Folding Fan and, with a build-up of momentum, furiously unleashed it, sending a white and gold light blade hurtling toward Ye Feng.
Ye Feng still remained standing in place without flinching. In fact, he did possess defensive treasures, not just one but several. However, he hadn't needed to use them just yet, but now, he could not afford not to use them.
After all, the quality of his Qi Force was not too high yet, and he hadn't spent much time toughening his flesh body. No matter how strong his body was, he could not completely ignore the unrestrained attack of a Divine Path Realm warrior.
Almost in an instant, an armor appeared on the surface of Ye Feng's body, a Golden Armor. Strictly speaking, this armor was only a semi-finished Treasure Weapon. As soon as Ye Feng infused his Qi Force into it, the golden light shone brightly.
With a clang... the white light blade came shooting forward, directly creating a long crack in the Golden Armor.
Although he blocked the second attack, the Treasure Armor sustained damage.
Seeing this, Hua Youque finally smiled, humming to himself, "I said it before, you must be using a Treasure Armor for defense. How about that, wasn't I right? But even if you have Treasure Armor, you absolutely cannot be my match. The third move, you definitely won't be able to withstand this third move!"
Ye Feng just sneered without saying a word. The reason the Treasure Armor showed damage wasn't because the opponent's white light blade was that strong, but because the armor had been used too many times previously and had already been damaged.
Moreover, this Treasure Armor was not Ye Feng's true line of defense. His strongest defense was the Emperor's Armor he had acquired from the Spirit Channel in the Southern Territory!
Of course, using the Emperor's Armor against a mere first-stage Divine Path Realm opponent would be a desecration of its value!
