I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

This sound entered my ears—

Huai Kong was as if waking from a dream!

A huge weight lifted from my heart in an instant, and my eyes welled up with tears.

Without thinking twice, he strode forward and crashed hard into his brother's arms!

Arms locked tightly!

What a relief!

"Big brother..." His voice choked with emotion.

"You're finally back."

Huai Mie frowned slightly.

He reached out and returned Huai Kong's embrace.

The memory in his heart of what happened after he was transformed into a beastman had long been shattered—leaving only a bloody chaos.

But he could feel it from his brother's trembling shoulders—

During the time I was away, my younger brother shouldered so much all by himself.

He patted Huai Kong on the back:

"Silly boy."

"Big brother, I'm back now, aren't I?"

Not long after—

The two brothers sat among a pile of rocks.

Huai Kong recounted all the life-and-death moments that had occurred during this period, as well as the benefits of this fate-altering elixir—without bias or prejudice.

Having said that—

Huai Mie raised his hand and touched the faint lines at the corners of his eyes, his fingertips gently stroking between the grooves.

He never complained about the passing of his lifespan, nor was he afraid of the aging of his appearance.

In his eyes—

This superficial change is nothing more than a tiny speck of dust on the path to the pinnacle of martial arts, not worth mentioning.

The sea of ​​fire in his eyes had disappeared—

Instead, there was a more fervent and purer fighting spirit!

Huai Mie's body swept back three feet:

"Let the eldest brother see—"

"Have you slacked off even a little bit during these days of training?"

Though his voice was soft, it carried an undeniable resolve.

"Empty Embrace—"

"Come!"

"Let's have a fight with my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Kong's long-suppressed fighting spirit was ignited!

He looked up—his eyes met those of his elder brother, and no words were needed.

The two brothers moved at almost the same moment—

They each stepped back several feet, facing each other across the rubble and ruins scattered on the ground.

The valley wind howled fiercely, and the remaining withered trees seemed to weep in the chill.

It seemed as if it feared the ever-increasing, domineering aura emanating from this place.

Heavy and somber.

Huai Mie stood with his hands behind his back, his middle-aged face as cold and steely as ever.

He simply stood there, like an insurmountable, solitary peak.

"Make your move."

The three words, once uttered, struck the heart like a heavy hammer blow.

Huai Kong let out a long exhale, his eyes calming down.

A crimson light slowly emanated from his palm, like lava flowing beneath an abyss.

"Brother—I'm sorry for the offense."

Before he finished speaking, the other person had already moved.

He lowered his body, his toes barely touching the ground—

Huai Kong, like a crimson flame whipped up by the wind, streaked across the ground at breakneck speed.

With each step, a small piece of sand curled and turned black from the heat.

The Iron Refining Technique was being rapidly activated within his meridians.

The next instant, crimson waves crashed to the sky—his palms slammed into the ground!

"Thunderous Roar That Shatters the Earth—!"

A fierce force, like an angry dragon drilling into a hole, surged wildly along the ground towards Huai Mie's direction!

Wherever it passed, the stone ground crumbled and turned a fiery red.

The scorched earth cracked, heat flowed out, and the air was distorted by the baking heat!

Huai Mie lowered his eyes slightly, without backing down—

Instead, they stepped headlong into this blazing wave!

His vital energy was like an abyss, like a prison, and he unleashed a frenzied, devastating attack.

With each step, the churning scorched earth beneath his feet was crushed and extinguished by an even more domineering force!

The raging fire was like thin ice under the scorching sun before him, collapsing and vanishing in an instant!

In the blink of an eye, he had already pierced through the layers of blazing waves that Huai Kong had laid out, and was right up to Huai Kong's heart!

A close call!

Huai Kong's pupils contracted sharply—without time to retreat, he suddenly crossed his palms to block!

The two forces collided with a deafening roar in the blink of an eye—

The shockwave exploded, sending pebbles flying everywhere!

Huai Kong felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, and was forced back several steps by the heavy blow!

But the instant he regained his footing, he changed his move—

His palms traced afterimages between his fingers, like molten iron being forged!

"Absolute Wood Qi Gang—!"

The heat wave condensed into a rotating wall of fire—

The flames flickered and spewed, forcefully blocking Huai Mie's pursuit!

Huai Mie flicked two fingers in quick succession!

"Break potential—!"

Dozens of extremely sharp finger strikes shot out from his fingertips like lightning—each one precisely piercing the cracks in the fire wall!

It crackled and popped!

The swirling wall of fire cracked violently under this series of lightning-fast penetrations—

Flames flew everywhere, and heat waves exploded!

Huai Kong gritted his teeth, his tiger's mouth went numb—the fire wall was about to be breached!

"Controlling Fire to Devour the Heavens—!"

He roared to the sky, his body shifting from extreme motion to extreme spin—

The crimson true energy around his body seemed to be drawn by a tremendous force like a black hole.

All fires return to one!

The shattering flames, the broken walls of fire, and dozens of piercing lightning strikes—

They were all swept up by this fiery whirlwind and forcibly annihilated!

The powerful energy surged, and the valley resounded.

Approval appeared in Huai Mie's eyes—

This technique of "using rotation to break straight lines" was something his younger brother figured out on his own.

"Not bad," he said softly.

Before the words were finished—

He was already upon us like lightning!

Huai Kong's pupils contracted—he suddenly pushed his palms forward!

The scorching energy of the Iron Refiner's Hand transformed into a blazing wall of energy, crashing head-on towards the oncoming force!

Huai Mie shifted his body slightly, narrowly missing the scorching wall of air at the last second—

The edge of the robe was instantly scorched by the high temperature!

But his offensive intensified instead of diminishing—he closed in on them!

The two instantly became entangled!

Huai Mie threw a punch at Huai Kong's side waist—Huai Kong blocked it with his bare palm!

The heat from the palm almost instantly created a puff of white smoke in the surrounding air upon contact—

Huai Mie's fist suddenly veered off course, stopping abruptly half an inch away, thus avoiding the scorching palm that was powerful enough to melt iron!

Immediately afterwards—his right elbow slammed down!

This strike cut in from the blind spot of the Blazing Palm, grazing past Huai Kong's ear—

The strong wind scraped against Huai Kong's noodles, making them sting!

Huai Kong ducked to dodge, then used the momentum to strike his opponent's ribs from below with his left palm.

The crimson light had almost licked the hem of Huai Mie's clothes!

Huai Mie twisted his waist strangely, slipping past the palm strike like a slippery fish—

He slashed at Huai Kong's nape with a backhand palm strike!

Huai Kong didn't have time to retaliate, and had to take the hit with his shoulder!

puff--!

A dull, sluggish force penetrated his body—

The shock made his internal organs churn, and he instinctively took a half step back.

But in that half-step retreat—

Huai Kong's eyes suddenly sharpened!

The intense, scorching heat emanating from his body suddenly subsided in that instant!

The red light at the fingertips receded, transforming into specks of dim light.

"Extinguish Water and Sky Flames—!"

Like a sudden winter's chill—the palm strike was silent and still, yet it brought with it a deathly aura that withered away all life!

Huai Mie had been avoiding the scorching heat, never expecting Huai Kong to do the opposite at this moment—

This palm strike was as cold as an abyss, striking his chest and abdomen directly!

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his approval evident in his words.

The balance of Yin and Yang—this is the true essence of the Iron Refining Master.

Ordinary people only know that the iron-forging hand is fierce, but Huai Kong has already mastered the balance of strength and gentleness—the yin and yang can be transformed and controlled at will.

pity--

Even encountering Huai Mie is still not enough.

Huai Mie stood up straight and took the blow head-on—the palm struck him squarely in the chest and abdomen!

The chilling aura of death instantly invaded his body—

His skin turned cold, and a thin layer of frost quickly formed on the robe on his chest!

however--

His chest and abdominal muscles contracted strangely—

Immediately following, a tremendous surge of internal energy exploded from between the acupoints!

"The raging beast devours the sun—!"

The chilling death aura was like a flickering candle in the autumn wind before this burst of power—instantly crushed to dust!

A tremendous force of recoil surged back through Huai Kong's palm—

Huai Kong was struck so hard that he flew backward more than ten feet like an arrow released from a bow!

Each step he took left a half-inch deep burn mark on the gravel.

But he did not stop. As soon as he steadied himself, he swept his palms across the air.

"Jin Yuan Jue——!"

Iron Refining Hand - The Highest Level!

The crimson light emanating from his palms suddenly surged to an unprecedented level of intensity—

The temperature of my palm is enough to melt iron and gold!

He charged towards Huai Mie once more!

This time, Huai Mie's expression finally changed!

Huai Kong unleashed a palm strike—

Huai Mie dodged to the side, his blazing palm grazing his shoulder, the residual force of which instantly softened and deformed a broken iron pillar beside him!

Huai Kong followed up with a backhand grab—his five fingers gripping Huai Mie's shoulder!

Huai Mie's figure flashed, and his burning hand missed its target—

It slammed heavily onto a boulder about half a person's height next to it!

laugh--!

The hard stone was like a block of wax thrown into a furnace—

It quickly softened, cracked, and disintegrated under Huai Kong's hands!

Scalding hot debris flew everywhere!

Huai Mie took two steps back to avoid the flying molten slag.

Huai Kong had already closed in!

He struck out with both palms in alternating motions. Wherever the palm wind passed, the pebbles on the ground were heated until their surfaces turned red-hot, and the air became almost transparent due to the distortion!

Huai Mie dodged several attacks in succession—then suddenly stomped his foot!

"A surge of power that overturns the river—!"

He thrust both palms forward suddenly—

An overwhelming force surged forth from his palm, condensing into a massive, visible wall of energy in front of him!

Huai Kong's blazing palm slammed heavily onto the giant wall—

Chi Chi Chi -!

The surface of the giant wall was etched with scorching red marks, and the burning heat was relentlessly eroding it!

However, despite the violent tremors, the air wall remained unbroken!

Immediately following—a sudden counter-shock!

An overwhelming force of rebound surged back through the air barrier!

Huai Kong's arms trembled violently, and he was forced back more than ten feet by the recoil!

Two deep, charred furrows were plowed out beneath his feet.

Huai Mie stood amidst the aftershocks of the dissipating air barrier, his gaze icy as he stared directly at the long box carried on Huai Kong's back.

"Retrieve the Heavenly Sin." His tone was deep and slow, brooking no argument.

"If you continue to hold your hands and feet back, you are disrespecting your elder brother's martial arts."

"With such meager skills—how can you possibly glimpse the path to the ultimate truth?"

Huai Kong looked troubled and placed his hand on the edge of the box—immediately, he felt a series of tremors from the "Heavenly Sin" at his fingertips.

Fierce and manic.

"Brother... this Heavenly Sin sword isn't the same one as before."

"This is a complete redesign—it doesn't recognize its older brother yet."

"This creature is vicious and cruel; once it is drawn... I'm afraid it will harm my elder brother."
