Chapter 632: Punching Chu Zhongtian Away!
Chapter 632: Punching Chu Zhongtian Away!
"What? He reached the fourth level?"
The crowd erupted upon hearing this.
Could it be that in the Serpent Fist, Lin Xuan has already surpassed Chu Zhongtian? This is too unbelievable. This guy’s talent is simply heaven-defying!
"This is impossible, I don’t believe it. How can you surpass my brother?" Chu Yue shook her head frantically.
"Nonsense! That kid couldn’t possibly have reached the fourth level," the Star Pavilion Master snorted coldly.
Even the Head of the Heavenly Dao Academy shook his head in denial. He couldn’t believe it either. He felt that Lin Xuan must be bluffing this time, putting on a brave front to intimidate Chu Zhongtian.
「On the battlefield」
Chu Zhongtian scoffed with even greater disdain. "Reached the fourth level? Are you kidding me?"
He knew just how difficult the Serpent Fist was to cultivate. No matter how talented Lin Xuan was, it was impossible for him to reach the fourth level in just three years. The guy had to be bragging again.
Hmph, trying to fool me? Not so easy!
"Impossible?" Lin Xuan retorted with a cold snort. "Alright then, keep your eyes peeled and see if this punch is the fourth level or not!"
World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist!
The Fourth Fist: Heaven-Shattering Punch!
Lin Xuan threw another punch.
This one radiated an incomparably brilliant light, carrying a destructive force that swept across the surroundings. The entire battlefield began to shake violently as the destructive aura burst forth, rushing toward the heavens and the earth.
Below, the spectators’ bodies trembled, and many nearly fell to their knees.
"Heavens! What’s happening?"
"I feel like I’m about to be annihilated!"
"What terrifying power!"
Even the Grandmasters gasped.
"Damn, this destructive aura is twice as strong as before."
"Isn’t this too unbelievable?"
"I feel like even a Grandmaster couldn’t withstand this punch."
The crowd exclaimed again and again. Master Song was dumbfounded. He felt that he would be annihilated if he faced this punch, and he didn’t dare mock Lin Xuan anymore.
Chu Yue was so frightened by the punch that she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling on the verge of fainting.
As for the Star Pavilion Master, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He screamed frantically, "The fourth level! You actually managed to cultivate the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist to the fourth level! How is this possible?"
The Head of the Heavenly Dao Academy also drew a sharp breath. No one knew better than him how difficult the Serpent Fist was to practice. For Lin Xuan to reach the fourth level in three years... he had broken yet another record.
But the most shocked of all was Chu Zhongtian.
When he felt this power, his face turned grim. He had just declared that it was impossible for Lin Xuan to have mastered it, yet here was Lin Xuan, displaying the fourth move. It was a total slap in the face!
Feeling the destructive force bearing down on him, Chu Zhongtian roared in anger and exerted all his strength to resist.
BOOM!
Their attacks collided.
Chu Zhongtian was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, soaring into the distance and leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
The crowd looked up, stunned silent as they watched the scene unfold.
Chu Zhongtian was injured!
Chu Zhongtian was defeated!
The Emperor gasped.
The Head of the Heavenly Dao Academy’s eyes went wide.
The Star Pavilion Master coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Celestial King’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The Alchemy King was incredulous.
Master Song’s scalp tingled.
Chu Yue was scared witless.
Everyone was stunned.
For a moment, the world fell terrifyingly silent. After a long pause, the Cyan Dragon Manor Master finally roared, "Hahaha, he won! The Young Master won!"
The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the others also came to their senses. They stared at the scene before them, their faces filled with disbelief.
Did Lin Xuan win? Really? We aren’t dreaming, are we?
"This is wonderful!" The members of the Lin Family were so excited they nearly cried.
The Sword Casting Manor Master also clutched his wine gourd tightly and declared, "Young Master Lin is truly a divine being!"
Ye Qingwu and Bai Qianqian were the most relaxed of all. Having witnessed Lin Xuan’s battle with Fang Cangsong, they knew just how strong he was. Lin Xuan was only warming up; he hadn’t even used his true ultimate moves yet.
"Heavens, what did I just see?"
"Lin Xuan sent Chu Zhongtian flying!"
"Chu Zhongtian is injured!"
"My God, am I dreaming?"
"He actually defeated Chu Zhongtian!"
"That punch just now was terrifying! Was that the fourth level of the Serpent Fist?"
"He actually surpassed Chu Zhongtian!"
"He’s still just a Three-Star Grandmaster, yet his power is so terrifying. It’s simply heaven-defying."
"I feel this is no longer the Saint’s Appearance..."
"This is the Appearance of a Great Emperor!"
"This kid is a Young Emperor!"
"Damn, so Lin Xuan wasn’t bluffing after all. He really could defeat Chu Zhongtian!"
Madness. At that moment, everyone went mad, from the young disciples to the seasoned Grandmasters. All of them went absolutely mad!
It couldn’t be helped. The result was just too heaven-defying.
Lin Xuan was only a Three-Star Grandmaster, a rank worlds apart from a true Grandmaster. And yet, he had just defeated one!
It was simply a heaven-defying, invincible feat!
Thinking back on Lin Xuan’s previous words, they realized he hadn’t been bluffing. They had just been too foolish to understand how terrifyingly strong he truly was.
"How could this be?" The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion were all bewildered.
The second crown prince’s face was particularly grim. "How can he be so strong? If he won, how can we ever get our revenge?"
The Celestial King’s expression also darkened. He had been hoping that Lin Xuan would be crippled, allowing him to step in and finish him off. He never expected Lin Xuan to actually win.
However, as a King, his insight surpassed that of any Grandmaster. He said, "Chu Zhongtian won’t be defeated this easily. Just watch. The battle isn’t over yet. The final victor is still uncertain."
「In the sky battlefield」
Lin Xuan retracted his fist and said with a smile, "See that, Chu Zhongtian? That’s the fourth level of the Serpent Fist. I told you long ago you’re not my match. Just give up obediently."
From afar, Chu Zhongtian staggered to his feet, his expression incredibly grim. To be honest, he never expected to be injured by his opponent. It was infuriating! In his eyes, Lin Xuan was just a tiny ant, and now he had been sent flying by that very ant. What an utter disgrace!
However, Lin Xuan’s strength had truly shocked him. He was shocked that the boy’s strength had truly reached the Grandmaster Realm, and that his Serpent Fist was cultivated a full level higher than his own, reaching the fourth level! It was unbelievable.
He glared at Lin Xuan, speaking through clenched teeth. "Good, kid. I didn’t expect you to possess such strength. I admit I underestimated you before. From now on, I will cast aside my contempt. I will come at you with everything I have. I will let you know the price for angering me! You will face my wrath!"
Chu Zhongtian roared as the power in his body erupted once more. Streaks of Sword Qi burst from him, sweeping across the heavens and the earth. The power of this Sword Qi was immensely formidable, even stronger than the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist from before. The previous Serpent Fist had only manifested a Serpent Illusion, but this Sword Qi now formed a True Dragon Illusion. This was a power far more terrifying than that of a Serpent.
The spectators below cried out in alarm.
"Heavens! True Dragon Sword Qi!"
"Unbelievable! Is Chu Zhongtian’s Dragon Dao Power really this formidable?"
"Such immense power!" the Star Pavilion Master said excitedly. "I knew it! I knew Chu Zhongtian had other tricks up his sleeve! This power is even stronger than the Serpent Fist. He’s about to counterattack!"
Hearing this, Chu Yue jumped for joy. "That’s great! My brother is about to go all out! He’ll definitely turn this around and win! Lin Xuan is dead for sure this time!"
"That may not be so," the Wangyue Pavilion Master retorted. "The World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist is also incredibly powerful. Especially since Lin Xuan has cultivated it to the fourth level, his fist technique can destroy anything. Even if that is True Dragon Sword Qi, it might not be able to stop the Serpent Fist."
"That’s right! We believe in Lin Xuan!" the elders of the Wangyue Pavilion chimed in.
The two sides began to argue, while the other onlookers chattered amongst themselves.
「Back on the battlefield」
Chu Zhongtian made his move. With a wave of his hand, a streak of Sword Qi slashed forward.
Lin Xuan answered by unleashing the fourth punch of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, the Heaven-Shattering Punch. The blow, seeming powerful enough to shatter the heavens and earth, flew fiercely forward to meet Chu Zhongtian’s Sword Qi.
A thunderous roar echoed as they collided.
Chu Zhongtian’s sword strike directly shattered the Heaven-Shattering Punch. The mighty Sword Qi broke the Serpent Fist, and the force of the impact knocked Lin Xuan back.
The surrounding crowd gasped at the sight.
"Heavens, what kind of Sword Qi is that?"
"It can actually defeat the Serpent Fist!"
The three great families were in shock! The four major sects drew sharp breaths!
Especially within the Celestial Sword Sect, one of the four major sects, their scalps tingled with fear. They were a Sword Dao sect and possessed countless forms of Swordsmanship, but they had never seen a technique like this.
The Celestial Sword Sect Leader stared intently at the Sword Qi enveloping Chu Zhongtian. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he exclaimed, "This Swordsmanship... could it be the legendary Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship?"
"What’s Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship?" The people from the surrounding families and sects were baffled, having never heard of it.
The Celestial Sword Sect Leader explained, "Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship is an ancient form of Swordsmanship. It was extremely famous a thousand years ago because it was created by Xiao Wentian, the last Dragon Warrior of his era. Back then, Xiao Wentian swept through the world with his Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship, remaining undefeated throughout Great Xia! Even the surrounding dynasties were no match for him. This is a Swordsmanship created by a Dragon Warrior. It’s been lost for nearly a thousand years. I can’t believe Chu Zhongtian actually managed to master it."
It was too incredible!
The crowd was in an uproar. What? Swordsmanship left behind by a Dragon Warrior? Was it for real?
Chu Zhongtian let out a hearty laugh. "That’s right. This is Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship. Although I’ve only obtained the first two moves, it’s more than enough to dominate all other Grandmasters. I’ll be honest with you—it was with the first and second stances of this very Swordsmanship that I previously injured a Grandmaster."
The crowd gasped.
"My God, it really is the Swordsmanship of a Dragon Warrior."
"He’s only learned two moves, and it’s already that powerful?"
"Then Lin Xuan is finished."
"No matter how strong he is, he can’t possibly stand up to Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship."
"That’s right, Lin Xuan’s defeat is certain."
"His fourth punch of the Serpent Fist has been broken."
"He has no power left to fight back."
"Unless he also knows a top-tier Swordsmanship, he might have a chance to resist."
"Otherwise, his defeat is certain."
"That’s impossible. Dragon Illumination Swordsmanship was left by a Dragon Warrior. Its quality is exceedingly high; no other Swordsmanship can compare."
"Then this battle is over. There’s no way Lin Xuan can withstand it."
