Chapter 140 One Palm

Shi Feng's words seemed to stimulate Yi Kui's soul, instantly turning his face ashen.

He was indeed surprised that Shi Feng could block his punch, but that was all it was.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that Shi Feng was actually a Huajin grandmaster. His earlier punch seemed fierce and domineering, but he hadn't used his full strength. After all, if things got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to clean up the mess, and even Lu Tiandi wouldn't be able to protect him.

But he never expected that Shi Feng would completely exploit his restraint, turning him into a laughingstock in the eyes of everyone present, and utterly humiliating him.

He was a dignified Henglian grandmaster. Even the heads of major world-class financial groups treated him with courtesy and respect, regarding him as an honored guest. Those Huajin grandmasters would cower in fear when they saw him. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You're asking for death!"

Immediately, Yi Kui changed his stance, taking a step forward and throwing another punch.

Banbu Beng Quan (Half-Step Crushing Fist)!

This time, Yi Kui held nothing back, his mind solely focused on making Shi Feng regret his earlier words.

And Shi Feng, as before, directly blocked with a palm, as if he hadn't noticed that Yi Kui's punch was a full-force strike without any reservations.

Seeing this, a cold smile couldn't help but appear on Yi Kui's lips.

His 50% strength might not pose much of a threat to a Huajin grandmaster. They could rely on their own strength and technique to resist it. But his full-force strike was different. Even a Huajin grandmaster wouldn't dare to take it head-on with their bare hands, or their bones would surely shatter. Yet Shi Feng, oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth, still used the same method to meet his punch head-on.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the resulting shockwave was noticeably stronger than before.

But this time, Yi Kui looked at Shi Feng in disbelief, because the outcome was exactly the same as his first punch. It was still blocked by Shi Feng's palm…

Yi Kui was completely dumbfounded by the result, not understanding what was happening.

"Could it be that I was worried about causing trouble, so I subconsciously held back?"

Yi Kui couldn't help but have this thought deep down, because only such a thing could be reasonable. Otherwise, how could a Huajin grandmaster withstand his punch head-on?

However, in that instant of Yi Kui's daze, Shi Feng didn't give him any time to react. He directly brushed aside Yi Kui's arms with both hands, then stepped forward, and a palm struck towards Yi Kui's chest like a thunderclap from flat ground.

The speed of this palm was so fast that Yi Kui couldn't react at all. It was like a dragonfly skimming the water, only touching Yi Kui for a moment before it ended.

Yi Kui didn't take it seriously at all, because his body had long formed an instinctive defense. The moment an enemy attacked him, all the muscles in his body would tense up, becoming like steel. Not only that, but he could also dissolve the impact of force like flowing water.

His muscles' ability to withstand strikes had been trained to true balance of hardness and softness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a Henglian grandmaster.

Huajin grandmasters were known for their techniques, while Henglian grandmasters prided themselves on their physical strength. In short, they were durable. They could withstand hundreds of strikes, but once you were hit by them, it would all be over.

Boom!

Yi Kui didn't take a single step back after being struck by Shi Feng's palm, and his expression remained unchanged as he quietly looked at Shi Feng, as if mocking Shi Feng's palm for being a gentle breeze that wasn't worth mentioning.

No one present was surprised by this.

Because Henglian grandmasters were so powerful. It was a joke to try to injure these monsters with mere fists and feet. This was why even in the upper district, major financial groups desperately wanted to recruit or befriend these people.

"Kid, I admit that you have some strength and can block my fist, but you can't possibly injure me," Yi Kui said dismissively, patting his clothes. "On the other hand, how much stamina do you Huajin grandmasters have to withstand my attacks?"

Huajin grandmasters did indeed have extraordinary control over their bodies, but their stamina was far inferior to that of Henglian grandmasters, who were known for their physical strength.

A Henglian grandmaster could fight someone for three days and three nights without any problems, but a Huajin grandmaster would be lucky to last half a day.

Because of this, Huajin grandmasters cursed Henglian grandmasters as undying turtles, a bunch of pure brutes, truly simple-minded and well-developed in limbs.

Watching from the side, Mu Xin's face was clouded with worry. She didn't expect Lu Tiandi to be so powerful, able to have a Henglian grandmaster as his butler. Their Jushi Financial Group had spent a lot of money to hire a Henglian grandmaster as a family honorary elder, treating him like a treasure. Everyone, except the family head, was in awe of this elder.

But Lu Tiandi treated such a master as a servant…

Normally, financial groups would avoid such monsters, because even in the upper district, being entangled by such a monster would be extremely troublesome.

"It didn't work?"

At this moment, Shi Feng looked at Yi Kui with some surprise.

Since his mental level had improved, he had found that his control over his body in the real world had increased dramatically. In addition, with the improvement of his physical fitness, some techniques that he only dared to use in God's Domain could now be used in reality.

That was why he wanted to provoke Yi Kui.

Because he was now very curious about where his current limit was.

When he exchanged blows with Yi Kui, his ability to block Yi Kui's fist with a palm was not a simple palm, but a palm using Triple Force, or rather a simplified version of the Swordlight Six Extremes - Swordlight Three Extremes.

In an instant, he struck Yi Kui's fist with three consecutive palms. The range of this palm was extremely small, and the control over his body could be said to be beyond the limit of the human body, making it extremely difficult to identify with the naked eye.

That was why he was able to block Yi Kui's full-force strike. Otherwise, even with his improved physical fitness in the upper district, he would probably have to retreat in the face of Yi Kui's full-force strike.

And for that palm strike on Yi Kui, he also used his current limit.

Swordlight Four Extremes!

Seemingly an ordinary palm, it was actually four palms he had unleashed with all his might. The combination of these four palms also consumed a great deal of his mental strength, and he didn't even know if he could unleash it a second time.

Yi Kui looked at Shi Feng, who seemed to be in a daze, and couldn't help but smile.

"Kid! Now it's... my... turn... to take care... of you..."

Just as Yi Kui was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a tremor throughout his body and couldn't help but fall to the ground. His breathing became difficult, his words became incoherent, and even his vision became blurred.

This sudden change left Yi Kui completely dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened at all.

"What... did you... do to me?"

Yi Kui reluctantly looked up at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why Shi Feng's palm strike could cause him such severe injuries, making it difficult for him to even stand up now…

As Yi Kui fell to the ground, everyone present was shocked.

"He defeated a Henglian grandmaster with one palm?!"

"Who on earth is he?"

Looking at Shi Feng, who seemed like a passerby, they were looking at a monster. They even felt that the scene before them was too fake. A dignified Henglian grandmaster was taken down with one palm. Who would believe it if they said it out loud?

"I seem to remember this person. Some time ago, two people appeared in Yuantian City at the same time and passed the Path of the Spirit. One of them was even given a reserved spot by the Jushi Financial Group. Rumor has it that person is Zero Wing's Guild Leader Black Flame. Although Black Flame in God's Domain looks different, he should be Zero Wing's Guild Leader Black Flame!"

"No way! Is he the Black Flame who brought down Lu Xingluo, the heir of Xinghang Financial Group?"

Among the crowd, some people who had done a detailed investigation of Shi Feng recognized his identity one by one. In an instant, the people on the entire street were in an uproar.

No one expected that the Sword Emperor Black Flame, who was like a myth in God's Domain, would appear here, and now he had defeated a Henglian grandmaster with one palm. His strength was simply terrifying.

"Is he the Black Flame that my sister mentioned?"

Ji Lorong looked at Shi Feng, her small mouth wide open, not daring to believe it was true. This was the rumored number one person in God's Domain, and even the five super guilds had to treat him with caution.
