Chapter 467: Chapter 143: One punch each, two punches a pair!
Nameless Desolate Mountain.
Three Inner Sect disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect stared anxiously at the vast plain in front of them.
A blue-robed young man, slightly impatient in temperament, couldn’t help but say:
"Why isn’t he here yet? Is the information reliable?"
The Sun Family steward standing beside them replied, "It shouldn’t be wrong. Luo Cheng, riding a Flame Jade Lion, arrived in Linjiang City yesterday. He left early this morning and is heading in this direction."
The blue-robed youth furrowed his brows deeply. "The Flame Jade Lion can cover thousands of miles a day! At its speed, the journey from Linjiang City should take less than two hours, but it has already been three!"
A female disciple standing nearby cautiously added:
"Could something have gone wrong? Junior Brother Wang is reckless. He’s been wanting to kill Luo Cheng personally. Could it be that Luo Cheng discovered him?"
Yang Wencheng, who had a scholarly demeanor, gently shook his head. "Junior Brother Wang may be rash, but Junior Sister Yuan Lin is a steady person. She wouldn’t let him act recklessly. However, the delay is indeed odd. Let’s wait for another hour. If they still don’t appear, we’ll go look for them."
The hot-tempered youth, still seething, slammed his palm against a teacup, shattering it into powder, his eyes full of malice:
"That Luo Cheng has made us go through so much trouble! When he falls into my hands... hmph!"
The steward said, "I must remind you three, once the task is completed, Luo Cheng’s head must be handed to me to take back to the family."
Yang Wencheng replied coolly, "Rest assured, we’re here purely to carry out the order to take Luo Cheng’s life. As for his corpse, you can do with it as you wish... Eh, someone’s coming!"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Wencheng’s sharp eyes squinted, gazing into the distance.
The sky was blue, with white clouds scattered across it.
On the wide-open plain, a fiery red figure raced toward them, like a blazing flame streaking across the land, leaving a trail of dust behind.
The steward focused his gaze. "The Flame Jade Lion! That must be Luo Cheng!"
"Heh, finally here!"
Yang Wencheng smiled faintly, his feet tapping the ground as he shot forward like a rainbow.
The other three quickly followed, descending the desolate mountain to block Luo Cheng’s path.
Neighhh!
Luo Cheng pulled the reins, his expression calm.
"Luo Cheng, you sure kept us waiting!"
The blue-robed youth stepped forward, locking his eyes onto Luo Cheng with an intense killing intent radiating from him.
"It seems everyone’s here."
Sweeping his gaze across the four, Luo Cheng said coldly, "I fought Xiao Lie in a fair duel and spared him. Yet, you sent your five top disciples to hunt me down? The people of the Fierce Cloud Sect truly take ruthlessness to new heights."
The blue-robed youth’s gaze turned icy. "This is not just about Xiao Lie. You caused our Fierce Cloud Sect to lose the first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition and killed so many of our sect members during the event! Any single offense is enough to sentence you to death!"
Luo Cheng sneered, "What a joke! Didn’t the Xuanyuan Sect lose people during the competition as well?"
Clang!
As he spoke, Luo Cheng unsheathed the Thunder Hidden Sword, saying, "Enough nonsense. Come at me together. I’ll send you five top disciples to reunite in the underworld."
The blue-robed youth burst into mocking laughter at these words:
"You’re on the brink of death, yet you dare spout such arrogance. Do you even know what death means?"
Yang Wencheng’s face twisted. "Have you encountered Junior Sister Yuan Lin and the others?"
Yang Wencheng had already been suspicious earlier.
How did Luo Cheng know about their plan to hunt him down?
The absence of Yuan Lin and the others only increased his unease.
Luo Cheng’s face showed a faint smile. "Of course I met them. They’re waiting for you three—on the Road to the Underworld."
"Ha! With your pitiful cultivation, Junior Sister Yuan Lin could kill you with just a finger! How dare you boast so shamelessly? Let me test the depth of your skills!"
The blue-robed youth laughed disdainfully, shouting as he lunged forward with a spear. His Essence Energy, characteristic of an early-stage Fifth Layer Awakening Vein Realm cultivator, surged explosively as he thrust the spear toward Luo Cheng.
Crack!
The force of the thrust split the air, creating a tiny, narrow vacuum crack around the spear’s tip.
"Ah, why does no one ever believe me when I’m telling the truth?"
Shaking his head lightly, Luo Cheng raised his sword and swung it.
Crack!
Sword Qi flashed like a beam of sunlight breaking through the clouds, slicing the vacuum crack in two.
What!
The blue-robed youth’s eyes widened in shock, leaving him no time to dodge as the Sword Qi slashed into his Protective Essence Energy.
Splurt!
The Sword Qi struck, halting the blue-robed youth in his tracks. In the next moment, his body split apart midair, blood spraying across the ground!
"Junior Brother Lu!"
Even the calm Yang Wencheng was stunned by the horrific sight, terror gripping his heart.
Junior Brother Lu, a Fifth Layer Awakening Vein cultivator, had been killed in a single strike.
The steward and the female disciple watched in frozen horror, their bodies cold and trembling.
"This guy is no ordinary opponent. Let’s kill him together!"
Realizing the dire situation, Yang Wencheng shouted and unleashed his Seven-star Martial Soul. A terrifying wave of Essence Energy erupted skyward, so condensed that the surrounding air became thick and heavy.
Crack!
Even the ground couldn’t bear the pressure, beginning to split apart.
"Oh? Judging by this aura, you’re probably not far from breaking through to Awakening Vein Realm Seventh Layer."
Raising an eyebrow, Luo Cheng showed no trace of fear. With a fierce sword aura, he enveloped all three opponents:
"Come at me together, so I don’t have to take you down one by one."
"Arrogant! Kill him!"
Yang Wencheng’s intuition screamed that Luo Cheng was extremely dangerous, a threat that needed to be dealt with quickly. His ink-black hair fluttered as he leapt into the air, gathering mountain-like shadows around his leg before stamping downward toward Luo Cheng.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air exploded into tangible shockwaves, radiating an endless destructive power that showcased the terrifying might of the strike.
"Star Sinking!"
Hoping to gauge his normal state against the pinnacle of a mid-stage Awakening Vein Realm expert, Luo Cheng channeled his Essence Energy and slashed his sword forcefully.
BOOM!
The cascading Sword Qi collided with the leg strike, producing a thunderous explosion that made the entire space tremble violently.
Both Luo Cheng and Yang Wencheng were sent flying.
Yang Wencheng staggered back a dozen steps.
Luo Cheng, on the other hand, was blown back over a hundred meters!
"Die!"
The Fierce Cloud Sect’s female disciple saw Luo Cheng falter and seized the opportunity. With twin swords resembling two silver-scaled dragons, she charged at him from the left, aiming to cut him down.
Without even looking, Luo Cheng clenched his left hand into a fist, his skin radiating a faint golden glow, and punched out heavily.
As he swung his fist, it was as if a vast river surged forward, mighty and unyielding.
BOOM!
The punch collided with the twin swords, creating a deafening sound. The immense power twisted the swords violently.
The female disciple let out a pained scream as blood spurted from her mouth. Her arms exploded instantly, and her body shot backward like a falling star, smashing into the ground and creating a large crater. Bleeding profusely from every orifice, she died on the spot!
After undergoing the tempering of the Washing Body Pond, Luo Cheng’s physical strength had doubled. Each punch now carried a force of four to five million pounds, rivaling that of a Sixth Layer Awakening Vein Realm body-refinement prodigy!
Against a mere mid-stage Fifth Layer Awakening Vein practitioner, it was a one-punch kill!
