Chapter 295: Chapter 282: Beat Them All Down

Shen Lang’s movements weren’t particularly fast, and his techniques were simple and unadorned—wide and open. But his unstoppable momentum finally snapped the distant Zhang Cheng out of his stupor!

Zhang Cheng cursed angrily. The fire on his longsword flared, and he thrust it straight at Shen Lang’s fist!

"I refuse to believe your fist... can block a full-powered strike from my Spiritual Artifact, imbued with my Flame Martial Soul!"

However, what Zhang Cheng hadn’t expected was that just as the flames on his sword’s tip flared and were about to connect with Shen Lang’s fist, it was suddenly deflected to his left, as if it had hit a slippery eel!

’Not good!’

Zhang Cheng didn’t have time to retract his longsword. He quickly raised the Orange Rainbow Shield in his left hand to block his chest.

BOOM!

Amid the explosive sound, the crowd saw Shen Lang’s fist smash into the Orange Rainbow Shield. A wave of ferocious, Powerful Qi rippled outwards from the impact. The Orange Rainbow Shield, which could easily block even a Tier Four Talisman, emitted a piercing sound and actually began to crack before everyone’s eyes. A web of fissures spread across its surface—a shocking sight!

Zhang Cheng let out a muffled grunt and stumbled back a full six meters before steadying himself.

Although the Orange Rainbow Shield didn’t completely shatter, the trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth told everyone... he was far from unharmed by that punch.

"Such incredible power... Senior Brother Zhang, this man is a Martial Artist who focuses on cultivating his Physical Strength. Be careful!"

Zhang Cheng’s three junior brothers were stunned, and all three lunged toward the center of the field at once!

"It seems you lot enjoy ganging up on people... Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not against you ganging up on me. In fact, I’d prefer it if you all came at once. That way, I can take care of you in one go."

Shen Lang let out a mocking laugh and stomped his right foot forward at an angle. Large swaths of the green flagstones on the ground immediately shot forward.

As the three charging men defended against the shower of flagstones, Shen Lang pushed off with his back foot, slid his front foot forward, and launched himself like an arrow from a drawn bow, instantly appearing before Zhang Cheng!

Zhang Cheng had already had a taste of his power. Now, with Shen Lang closing in again, he was thoroughly alarmed. As he thrust his longsword diagonally, he pushed off his feet, trying to retreat.

But just as he lifted his foot, it slammed into something hard. A moment later, a heart-rending pain shot up from the sole of his right foot!

Shen Lang had stomped on his right foot!

Setting aside Shen Lang’s own formidable Physical Strength, just the Yellow Ancient Bronze and the Immortal Celestial Saber he carried weighed over seventeen thousand *jin*!

With that one stomp, Zhang Cheng immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream, "AHH... My right foot! My right foot!"

"I know, I know,"

Shen Lang replied, stomping on his left foot as well. "There, all better now. See? Your left foot is the same."

After speaking, he leaned forward, and with a slight shift of his right shoulder, he slammed it into Zhang Cheng’s chest. As the Powerful Qi spread out, Zhang Cheng’s scream was cut short. With a muffled grunt, he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

After sending Zhang Cheng flying with a shoulder check, Shen Lang twisted his waist and whipped out his right leg like a lash, striking the wrist of the man to his left and kicking the longsword from his hand.

He then spun around, his left leg executing a whip kick that landed on the abdomen of the man to his right. The incomparably ferocious power instantly sent that man flying backward with a scream.

Next, he dropped his body lower, dodging a swift thrust from the man in the center. Instead of retreating, he advanced, ending up almost face-to-face with him.

The man was shocked, but it was too late to retreat. Shen Lang’s left hand coiled around his sword-wielding right arm like a snake. With two sickening cracks, the man screamed as his longsword fell to the ground.

"Go to hell!"

The man gritted his teeth against the pain and threw a punch with his left hand, aiming for Shen Lang’s heart.

Facing this crisis, the man used his full strength. A ferocious, terrifying wolf’s head materialized over his fist, its mouth wide open as it lunged forward to devour its target.

Without hesitation, Shen Lang’s right fist shot forward, instantly piercing through the wolf head’s gaping maw...

A muffled thud echoed out. The conjured wolf head vanished without a trace, and the Martial Artist’s left arm went limp—it had been completely disabled by a single punch!

The hand of a Spirit Martial Realm Seventh Heaven expert was crippled by the shock of a single punch... Everyone present was stunned!

’What kind of monster is this?’

’Is he even a teenager?’

’Without Xuanwu Realm Cultivation, this should be absolutely impossible!’

Shen Lang’s series of movements flowed together perfectly. His speed wasn’t overwhelming, but every step and every punch was executed with perfect timing. Not a single motion was wasted.

It was as if he had predicted the attack patterns of these White Rainbow Sect Martial Artists from the very beginning...

Though his every punch and kick seemed slow, they made the air crackle and sent out gusts of wind that felt like blades against the skin. With just a few simple moves, he had defeated and disabled the four Spirit Martial Realm Seventh Heaven experts whom everyone here had considered the strongest!

At this moment, even Zhang Cheng, who had just been screaming in agony on the ground, seemed to have forgotten his pain and fell silent.

The silence was terrifying...

With a thought, Shen Lang summoned Bone One and Bone Two.

Two massive Bone Demons descended from the sky. One landed in front of Nalan Ziyun, while the other landed before the suspension bridge leading down the mountain, completely blocking the only escape route. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Bone One, standing before Nalan Ziyun, brandished its massive Bone Saber and let out a sharp cry, "My Bone Saber thirsts for battle!"

Nalan Ziyun, who was facing it, rolled her eyes and pointed behind it. "Over there."

Bone One froze. ’Crap, I’m facing the wrong way?’

"Huh? Oh! Esteemed Boss Lady, whatever you say goes!"

Bone One turned around, its two orbs of Ghost Fire staring at the four men on the ground, its belligerence on full display.

This sent a shiver down the spines of Zhang Cheng and his three companions on the ground, and they looked at each other, their faces pale with fright.

"No peppercorns, no star anise, I’m just a bone that nobody loves to gnaw..." On the other side, Bone Two guarded the only suspension bridge down the mountain, leisurely singing a strange song while polishing the Heaven-Reaching Hammer in its hands.

The crowd in front of it scattered with a roar, all running to the other side.

Although most of them couldn’t sense the Cultivation level of Bone One and Bone Two, the massive, fully armored Bone Demons, with their hammer and Bone Saber gleaming menacingly, were clearly not to be trifled with.

Nalan Ziyun shook her head repeatedly. "These skeletons aren’t too bright, are they?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes and replied without turning his head, "Obviously. If they were, would you have been able to trick them out of all their Spirit Stones?"

"..."

"I have to ask, are you on something, or did you forget your meds? You just run off to a bandit stronghold to become a chieftain without saying a word? And what’s with this androgynous getup? Trying to seduce innocent maidens?" Shen Lang said, clearly displeased.

"Dingdang isn’t here, so I have to keep an eye on you for her," Nalan Ziyun said stubbornly.

"Keep an eye on my ass! You can’t even look after yourself, and you want to look after me?"

"I don’t have a sister."

"..."

While the two were bickering as if no one else existed, the remaining White Rainbow Sect disciples finally saw their opening.

One of them suddenly shot toward Shen Lang like a lightning bolt. When he was still three meters away, he leaped into the air. A two-meter-long Trident suddenly appeared in his hand, growing several times larger as it caught the wind and began to spin rapidly.

As a fierce gale kicked up, a massive tornado swept directly toward Shen Lang and Nalan Ziyun!

At the same time, a pair of light wings appeared on the backs of the other two. Each grabbing one of Zhang Cheng’s arms, they shot into the sky, clearly not daring to fight any longer and intending to flee.

Down below, Lan Feng and the others were seething with rage, mentally engaging in some... less-than-friendly relations with Zhang Cheng’s female relatives and elders.

If even they were running, weren’t the rest of them who couldn’t escape doomed?

But their current predicament was all thanks to Zhang Cheng! How could that bastard just up and leave?

"Leaving so soon? Not planning on leaving a little something behind?"

Shen Lang’s voice rang out from above the heads of the men in the air.

’Not good!’ The men were so frightened their souls nearly scattered.

No one could have imagined Shen Lang could fly at such a ghostly speed. In just a flash of a dark shadow, he had already intercepted them from above.

Before they could react, Shen Lang, high in the air, raised his right foot and brought it down in a powerful axe kick.

The Ghost King’s speed, even before its advancement, had been comparable to a Xuanwu Realm Fifth Heaven expert. Now, unleashed at full power, Shen Lang’s figure seemed to split in two. Both raised a right foot, one chopping down toward Zhang Cheng and his two saviors, the other toward the man with the Trident.

Two screams rang out simultaneously. The men who had just taken to the sky slammed violently into the ground with a loud CRASH, creating two massive craters.

"Did you think you could run without my permission? You can try running again. I guarantee your corpse won’t be left intact," Shen Lang said grimly.

Meanwhile, Bone One casually swung its Bone Saber, swatting the astonishingly powerful, rapidly spinning Trident away. It flew through the air and landed right between Lan Feng and his two companions, who were busy trying to figure out a plan, scaring them half to death.

Nalan Ziyun, her view blocked by Bone One, got annoyed and kicked it. The kick failed to move Bone One at all; instead, she herself stumbled back several meters.

"Bone One, get out of my way!" Nalan Ziyun shouted ferociously.

Bone One immediately nodded and bowed, scurrying to the side.

Nalan Ziyun put her left hand on her hip and swept her right hand toward the surrounding crowd. "Bone One, Bone Two, go beat every last one of them to the ground! Don’t kill them, just knock them down!"

"YAHOO!"

Bone Two had been feeling bored, thinking it wouldn’t get a chance to fight. Upon hearing this, it perked up instantly!

The two Bone Demons charged as if in a race, like wolves entering a flock of sheep. They spun around the area like a whirlwind, punching and kicking anyone they could catch.

The skeletons’ bones were as hard as Profound Artifacts, and their Cultivation had already reached the Xuanwu Realm. The moment they started, the area was filled with terrified screams and wails. The scene was chaotic and too brutal to watch...
