Chapter 570 - 276: One-Punch Blowout
Shen Mingyuan’s face went pale with shock, but he ultimately did as Chen Cheng instructed and hurried off.
...
That night.
The moon shone brightly in a near-starless sky as a bleak, cold wind swept through.
Under the faint moonlight, the Zheng Martial Arts Hall was completely empty, without a single person in sight.
Everyone had evacuated to the Shen Family compound.
Even the hundred Protectorate Army soldiers patrolling the nearby streets had been called away.
The surroundings were utterly silent!
A bonfire burned in the main plaza of the Martial Arts Hall’s front courtyard. Its light mingled with the moonlight, illuminating the square.
On a raised platform, Chen Cheng stood tall with a Long Saber at his waist. He gazed toward the night sky, his deep eyes holding a cold, sharp glint.
The night deepened, and the full moon slowly climbed to its zenith.
At some point, an old man in black robes appeared on the main street in front of the Zheng Martial Arts Hall. His hair was completely white and his back was hunched.
The old man walked at a slow pace, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll through his own courtyard.
Under the faint moonlight, his fair, smooth face—like that of an eight- or nine-year-old child—held a hint of suspicion.
’The number one prodigy of the younger generation’s Martial Dao in Linji City. The strongest expert below the Organ Refining Realm!’
’For this young brat to have made such a name for himself is truly unexpected!’
’His Martial Arts Talent is truly exceptional!’
’Back in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, I misjudged him. If I had captured him at the first opportunity, I could have refined him into a peerless Treasure Medicine!’
’In the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, the kid was full of schemes, as cunning as a fox. So why is he being so arrogant and overconfident tonight?’
’What exactly is he counting on?’
Ghostly Wound wondered to himself as he crossed the empty street and stepped through the open gates of the Zheng Martial Arts Hall.
When he reached the main plaza of the front courtyard, he saw a tall, handsome figure with a Long Saber at his side, his expression perfectly calm.
"Hah!" Ghostly Wound couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
It wasn’t a gasp of shock, but of admiration for the courage and sheer nerve of the person before him.
Because he was certain there were no powerful experts lying in ambush nearby.
"Ghostly Wound. So it really is you causing all this trouble," Chen Cheng said lightly.
"Hah!" Ghostly Wound was astonished. "You little brat. You actually guessed that I was in Linji City. With a mind like that, you truly are as cunning as a fox!"
"Since you knew it was me, do you still dare to wait here alone? Did you really think I’d let you go a second time?"
Chen Cheng’s expression remained as placid as an ancient well. Instead of answering, he asked a question of his own, "What is your relationship to Wang Xuanjiu?"
"Heh!" A mocking sneer touched Ghostly Wound’s lips. He was finally getting annoyed.
"An ant like you dares to interrogate me! That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard!"
"Forget it. Once I’ve captured you, I’ll explain everything in excruciating detail!"
With that, he unleashed his Qi Blood Power. His Primordial Gang True Force surged as he shot toward Chen Cheng at blinding speed.
Before he even arrived, sinister and terrifying streams of Yin Evil Qi materialized, swarming madly to envelop Chen Cheng.
He had been too careless in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, allowing Chen Cheng to escape once. This time, he would not underestimate his opponent for any reason.
He attacked with his full power from the outset. Even if Chen Cheng had a powerful Treasure Artifact capable of blocking the Realm Power of his Second Layer Yin Evil Realm, it would be utterly incapable of stopping his Primordial Gang True Force!
"Bring it on!"
After carefully sensing the Realm Power of the Second Layer Yin Evil Realm, Chen Cheng let out a sharp cry and charged toward Ghostly Wound.
He clenched his right fist, which was wreathed in the wild and tyrannical aura of the Rising Dragon Realm, and threw a punch!
’Not good!’ Sensing that incomparably tyrannical aura, Ghostly Wound’s face fell, and he instinctively tried to pull back.
But it was too late.
BOOM!
The aura of the Second Layer Yin Evil Realm was shattered instantly!
