Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1800 - 1782: Sudden Detonation...
"Qin Kun, you dare to hurt my cousin! I’m giving you a choice: either accept my challenge or get out of here and go to the Yellow Courtyard!" Meng Qiang, wearing a blue long robe and appearing to be around thirty years old, arrogantly stated. He was here today to avenge his cousin. Qin Kun, the newcomer, had actually injured his cousin, which was something he absolutely couldn’t tolerate!
According to him, he had long wanted to deal with Qin Kun directly, but private duels were not allowed within the sect. Therefore, the only way to deal with Qin Kun was to issue a challenge, that way he wouldn’t be blamed by the sect,
"He challenged me first and lost; he had it coming! You, someone at the pinnacle of the Earth Covering Realm, coming to challenge me, do you have no shame?" Staring angrily at Meng Qiang, Qin Kun retorted. Previously, Meng Qiang’s cousin thought Qin Kun was a newcomer who was easy to bully, challenged him, and failed. He didn’t expect Meng Qiang, ranked third in the Profound Courtyard, to step in. Although he was strong, Qin Kun was only at the early stage of the Earth Covering Realm, with a much lower realm. Against Meng Qiang, he truly had no chance. He couldn’t understand how Meng Qiang could be so shameless, forcing him to accept a challenge, clearly wanting to take him down brutally; how could he agree?
"Qin Kun, it’s normal for us Inner Sect Disciples to challenge each other; what’s there to be ashamed of?" Meng Qiang arrogantly stated, looking at the angry Qin Kun. "Moreover, in our Divine Sword Sect, there’s a good rule: disciples within the same courtyard can challenge each other at will. Don’t tell me you don’t even know this?"
"You..."
Upon hearing Meng Qiang’s words, Qin Kun was left speechless from anger. Of course, he knew about this ridiculous rule of the Divine Sword Sect. He had known it when he first arrived at the Profound Courtyard. The original intention of the Profound Courtyard was good, hoping the disciples could continuously enhance their strength through challenges. However, it usually was the weaker ones challenging the stronger ones. When did the stronger ones ever proactively challenge the weaker ones? Meng Qiang using his peak Earth Covering Realm strength to challenge him was utterly shameless...
But if he didn’t accept the challenge now, he wouldn’t have any face left to mingle in the Profound Courtyard. Accepting the challenge meant he had no way of defeating Meng Qiang. Wouldn’t that be driving him to his death? Even without thinking, one could foresee Meng Qiang would definitely go all out to destroy him. Although the sect’s rule couldn’t allow killing, even if not dead, he would be left half alive!
He was really frustrated to the point of despair now. Just yesterday, the Resident Elder of the Profound Courtyard had to leave for something, and today Meng Qiang came. Clearly, Meng Qiang had timed this perfectly, leaving Qin Kun no way to refuse the challenge...
Damn it, isn’t it just a challenge? At worst, I’ll go all out!
Thinking of this, he made a fierce determination in his heart. Immediately, his Gang Qi burst forth, and a pale white Gang Qi slowly rose, with his murderous intent even showing as he yelled at Meng Qiang, "Isn’t it just for backing your cousin? Why say so much? Laozi agrees! Come, let’s see what you’re really capable of!"
"Heh, wouldn’t it have been over sooner if you had agreed earlier? But it’s fine; let me see what special abilities you, a newcomer who advanced into the Profound Courtyard, have." Meng Qiang showed a glimmer of cold light at the corner of his eye. His cousin had been injured by this newly arrived brat, and even more surprisingly, with a mid-stage Earth Covering Realm losing to an early-stage. This clearly illustrated that Qin Kun’s strength wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But none of this would occur for him, naturally. That cousin of his had always been arrogant since young, enjoying bullying others with his strength. Just this time, he encountered an accident. But for the sake of family honor, he had to step in and deal with Qin Kun. Although it was regulated not to kill within the courtyard, making Qin Kun suffer was permissible.
"Boom!"
Qin Kun no longer wanted to talk to such a despicable person like Meng Qiang. He suddenly struck a punch diagonally backward, resulting in a loud bang. Taking advantage of the recoil, his speed reached its peak instantly, transforming into a streak of white light rushing towards Meng Qiang!
This move made Meng Qiang’s eyes shine. He hadn’t anticipated Qin Kun would have such a way to accelerate. This evidently showed that Qin Kun’s combat experience was incredibly rich, having already formed his own style. Meng Qiang couldn’t understand; wasn’t Qin Kun previously stuck in the outer courtyard? How could he have had so many opportunities for battles? What the heck was going on?
Just as he was perplexed, Qin Kun suddenly launched an attack. His Gang Qi suddenly surged upward, and as fast as a flash, a long white sword condensed above him, the first move of the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique — Sword Breaking the Sky!
This move, no matter Meng Qiang or the onlooking disciples, their eyes lit up. Even though everyone here knew this move, Qin Kun’s proficiency was on a whole other level. Almost in the blink of an eye, the move was completed. Such condensation speed was beyond their ability. They couldn’t comprehend how Qin Kun, just having been promoted from the outer courtyard, had practiced this move to such a degree!
"Interesting! Let me try my Sword Breaking the Sky too!" Meng Qiang showed a glimmer of cold light, daring to play the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Technique in front of him seemed to be a fool’s errand. After those words, Meng Qiang stood still, white Gang Qi furiously surging to his head. Then, a white Gang Qi Greatsword condensed above him, its length more than twice as long as Qin Kun’s. Just by looking at the Gang Qi Longsword, the power disparity between them was apparent!
With a glance at Qin Kun charging toward him, Meng Qiang waved his hand, and the Gang Qi Greatsword immediately shot toward the incoming Qin Kun! The killing intent on that Gang Qi Greatsword seemed almost tangible, even lowering the surrounding air temperature, sweeping out with an imposing force as if it could split everything apart, its speed was astonishing...
In Meng Qiang’s view, no matter how skilled Qin Kun might be, he was still no match for him. Against Qin Kun, there was no need for anything else; this single move was more than enough. In the face of overwhelming power, any other trick was utterly useless and absolutely futile.
But seeing Meng Qiang’s move coming, Qin Kun’s eyes suddenly exploded with a fierce light. Just when that Gang Qi Greatsword was about to strike him, he suddenly punched with both fists at the same time, and two Fist Auras rushed like beasts, instantly hitting the ground on his left!
Yes, the ground, not Meng Qiang’s Sword Gang!
Everyone present was just stunned, unable to believe that Qin Kun would do this again. Normal thinking would go towards blasting the Fist Aura, but Qin Kun always took unexpected strategies, constantly following different paths. What exactly was going on here?
In that instant, something happened that none of them could have expected. Qin Kun actually used those two Fist Auras to narrowly evade Meng Qiang’s Sword Breaking the Sky, almost making everyone’s jaws drop. How was this possible? Could this really work?
Equally stunned by the outcome, Meng Qiang was caught off guard. How could a mere early-stage Earth Covering Realm kid evade his peak Earth Covering Realm attack? Who would believe it even if it were told? Yet, Qin Kun did indeed achieve it. He couldn’t understand, from where did Qin Kun learn such bizarre combat methods?
While he was still in a daze, Qin Kun’s speed suddenly surged, escalating to an incredibly terrifying level, like a flying arrow. The distance of several dozens of yards shrank to just a few yards in an instant. Seeing this, Meng Qiang immediately realized something was wrong. The Gang Qi on him erupted, forming a defensive qi shield, and he swung his hand, sending a Fist Aura towards Qin Kun!
"Boom!"
This Fist Aura was indeed formidable, like a cannonball. But one must not forget the Gang Qi Greatsword above Qin Kun’s head, ready for action long before. At this moment, Qin Kun finally unleashed his Gang Qi Longsword.
"Sword Breaking the Sky!"
Accompanied by his low chant, the Gang Qi Longsword instantly flew towards Meng Qiang, thrusting straight at the Fist Aura he had released. The surrounding air suddenly froze, a chilling murderous intent shot from the Gang Qi Greatsword, enveloping Meng Qiang.
"Puff!"
The Gang Qi Greatsword ripped through Meng Qiang’s hastily summoned Fist Aura like a knife cutting through tofu, then continued its terrifyingly fast thrust towards Meng Qiang, with a determination as if it wouldn’t rest until it had pierced through Meng Qiang!
Oh my God!
Is this real or fake?!
Qin Kun’s combat strength is just too fierce!
...
The disciples observing around were all dumbfounded. None of them had expected Qin Kun’s actual strike to achieve such a terrifying level. Frankly, none of them here could execute such methods and schemes. Qin Kun was only at the early stage of Earth Covering Realm, yet he had such prowess. If Qin Kun reached the late stage or pinnacle of Earth Covering Realm, no one in this Profound Courtyard would be his match.
Damn it!
When Meng Qiang suddenly saw Qin Kun’s Gang Qi Greatsword shooting towards him, his face turned extremely grim. He hadn’t expected Qin Kun to be so troublesome. However, relying solely on that Gang Qi Greatsword, it shouldn’t qualify to hurt him.
Thinking of this, he immediately used the remaining time to solidify a Gang Qi Wall with all his strength in front of him, to weaken the power of the Sword Breaking the Sky move. Once this attack was withstood, it would be his turn to strike.
But he would have never imagined that what happened next was completely different from what he thought...
Qin Kun’s Gang Qi Greatsword indeed hit his Gang Qi Wall, and his wall did indeed block the Greatsword. However, just when Meng Qiang thought it was his time to attack, the Gang Qi Greatsword suddenly exploded...
"Kaboom!"
Like a super bomb explosion, a mushroom cloud instantly rose to the sky, sending shivers down spines even from a distance, with the ground shaking several times. Just as the mushroom cloud rose, an immensely powerful shockwave surged outwards, annihilating everything in its path. In a flash, it created a super strong storm right in front of Qin Kun’s cave, and the extremely powerful force instantly blasted both men away! If not for the Sect’s formation protecting the area, a massive crater might have appeared in the surrounding ground, illustrating the tremendous power of the Gang Qi explosion!
