"A joke!"
"Does my power need your acknowledgment? What of the Wu family, what of the Five Clans and Eight Sects, to me they are all the same. I have never bowed my head to your antiquated powers, nor will I ever." Chen Jinzhao's words were resonant, nearly provoking Wu Chengyang to wrath.
However, Wu Chengyang, a powerhouse of the Suo Ling realm, quickly retaliated.
"One day, you will regret this foolish decision of yours. Perhaps it will be a long time from now, or perhaps it will be a few minutes from now."
They exchanged blows and words simultaneously.
It could be said that
the two sides were evenly matched.
But as time wore on, Chen Jinzhao gradually displayed even greater strength and resilience.
This caused Wu Chengyang to inwardly lament.
He had originally thought that after years of cultivating in the Suo Ling realm, subduing Chen Jinzhao would be a simple matter. To his surprise, he was being suppressed by Chen Jinzhao!
The more Wu Chengyang thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
The next moment.
Chen Jinzhao thrust out his saber, startling Wu Chengyang, whose face contorted in fear.
This strike was aimed directly at his heart.
Wu Chengyang reacted, immediately retreating rapidly, attempting to evade the fatal blow.
Fortunately, Wu Chengyang's reaction speed was swift enough. His heart had narrowly escaped being pierced by Chen Jinzhao's Tai Sui.
But before he could even exhale in relief,
an unprecedented sense of danger descended upon Wu Chengyang, causing the Suo Ling realm powerhouse from the Changsheng family to break out in goosebumps, as if he had been targeted by the King of Hell!
What happened?
Wu Chengyang broke out in a cold sweat!
Soon.
He understood the source of the dangerous aura—
Chen Jinzhao's target had never been his heart, but his arm all along!
By the time Wu Chengyang realized this, Chen Jinzhao's saber had already descended, and Wu Chengyang could only watch as his right hand was severed!
Swish!
Li Erzhou's face turned ashen.
A Suo Ling realm powerhouse from the esteemed Changsheng family was actually outmatched by Chen Jinzhao?
Just how terrifying was Chen Jinzhao!
Wu Chengyang looked down at his severed, blood-drenched palm on the ground, his pupils dilating and constricting, clearly unable to accept this outcome.
"How is this possible..."
"My hand was severed? My path to immortality is broken!" Wu Chengyang muttered, his lips pale.
This was the outcome he found most unbearable.
After a long while.
Wu Chengyang looked up, fixing his gaze on Chen Jinzhao.
This young man's strength was so terrifying. He had to eliminate Chen Jinzhao tonight, lest he become a serious threat to the Wu family in the future!
"I can see you still intend to kill me," Chen Jinzhao said softly.
Wu Chengyang stated in a deep voice, "Of course!"
"If I don't kill you, how can I appease my hatred! Chen Jinzhao, quickly make your final arrangements. I will not give you any more chances."
As his voice fell.
A aura more terrifying than before emanated from Wu Chengyang, his upper garments instantly shattering into tatters.
Not far away.
Luo Feng witnessed this scene and couldn't help but gasp.
"His muscles are swelling up in such a short time, growing by two dimensions compared to before. This is the first time I've seen such a terrifying human. I wonder if such a person still falls within the human category?"
Li Erzhou dared not speak.
He was afraid his curse would befall Wu Chengyang.
In the courtyard.
Chen Jinzhao, at the center of the storm, also felt an oppressive aura, as if the shackles binding Wu Chengyang had broken, allowing him to unleash his full strength.
"I have broken the seal. What do you have to compare me with?" Wu Chengyang roared.
He transformed into a whirlwind and quickly appeared before Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao was slightly surprised.
Wu Chengyang's strength had noticeably increased, making him feel a hint of pressure.
"Even with only one arm left, I can still suppress you!!!" Wu Chengyang roared, confident in his words.
Bang bang bang!
Their exchange was so fast that even Luo Feng couldn't follow.
However, Luo Feng was certain that Chen Jinzhao, wielding Tai Sui, was facing unprecedented difficulty against Wu Chengyang, who only had one hand.
Bang!
Chen Jinzhao was sent flying backward, smashing through the courtyard wall!
Wu Chengyang strode forward and punched the wall down with his bare fist!
"Die!!!" Wu Chengyang roared.
He punched the ground.
Chen Jinzhao lay prone on the ground.
Rumble!
The punch landed squarely on Chen Jinzhao. Luo Feng even saw Chen Jinzhao spitting blood, clearly outmatched by Wu Chengyang.
"How can this be? This guy wasn't this terrifying before!" Luo Feng realized something was wrong and immediately drew his gun, aiming at Wu Chengyang.
Without hesitation.
Luo Feng pulled the trigger. A bullet zipped through the air, heading for the back of Wu Chengyang's head.
Swish!
Wu Chengyang abruptly turned his head.
First, he glanced at Luo Feng, then, to Luo Feng's horror, Wu Chengyang caught the bullet bare-handed with his remaining left palm.
"He can catch bullets with his bare hands?" Luo Feng was clearly startled.
Li Erzhou couldn't help but chuckle, laughing heartily, "Wu Chengyang was being careless before and didn't use his full strength. This is the true power of a Suo Ling realm expert. What can you possibly compare him with? Stop struggling; you are no match for Wu Chengyang."
Luo Feng's expression turned grim.
Even so, he still intended to shoot Wu Chengyang, to buy Chen Jinzhao some breathing room.
Bang bang bang!
Luo Feng fired six shots.
Wu Chengyang struck again, plucking the six bullets out of the air.
He said emotionlessly, "I told you, bullets can no longer kill me. Unless you use high-yield missiles, you can't destroy a Suo Ling realm expert! Kid, do you have some misunderstanding about Suo Ling realm experts? If you want to assassinate me, you're not qualified!"
As his words fell.
A total of seven bullets were thrown by Wu Chengyang, flying directly towards Luo Feng!
Luo Feng's eyes widened in alarm, and he quickly dodged.
S-class beings, though unable to catch bullets bare-handed, could certainly dodge them with ease.
However, the speed of these bullets was too great, even faster than when they were fired, meaning Wu Chengyang's physical body could break the sound barrier!
In a moment of crisis.
Luo Feng realized he couldn't possibly dodge all these bullets. He managed to twist his body, causing three of the bullets to hit his left arm, missing his heart.
Tearing pain coursed through Luo Feng's body as he gasped for air.
Fortunately, he wasn't dead.
But things would be difficult from now on.
He anxiously looked towards the ruins, where Chen Jinzhao was standing.
Wu Chengyang no longer paid attention to Luo Feng; in his eyes, Luo Feng was merely a small fry. Wu Chengyang walked back to where Chen Jinzhao had fallen and said condescendingly, "If it weren't for that peculiar short saber in your hand, I wouldn't have suffered such a great loss. Now, do you have anything else to say? After you finish, I'll send you on your way to spare you some pain."
Crack!
Chen Jinzhao extended one hand from the rubble and then grabbed a broken brick nearby!
Under Luo Feng's tense gaze, Chen Jinzhao shakily stood up.
Blood stained Chen Jinzhao's lips, but his eyes were as resolute as before, like an unmoving rock.
He slowly wiped the blood from his mouth.
Meeting Wu Chengyang's fierce gaze, Chen Jinzhao let out a faint chuckle.
"Are you so sure you can kill me?"
"I've walked through the gates of hell a few times, and even Yama doesn't want me. What makes you think you can take my life?"
"I am still undefeated!"
