Chapter 293: So Young
When Chu Wuji heard his ancestor say this, he immediately understood and hurried to add,
"That’s right. If you can beat Chu Feng, we’ll leave our fate in your hands."
At this, the Chu Family Elders and disciples were all dumbfounded. ’What in the world is happening?’
None of them understood what was happening.
"Patriarch, what’s happening?" one of the Elders asked, sending a voice transmission.
"Cut the chatter and just do as I say. Trust the Ancestor. He surely has his reasons," Chu Wuji replied.
"Heh, you little bastard. I’d like to see for myself how strong you are, daring to run your mouth in front of me." With that, the one-armed man charged.
"Heh, with only one arm... I’d almost be embarrassed to fight you. It would feel like I’m picking on the disabled. How about this: I won’t even use a sword. Come at me with whatever you’ve got," Chu Feng said.
The moment he finished speaking, his words drew a collective gasp from everyone around.
It wasn’t just the one-armed man—even the other Cultivators were completely stunned.
Chu Feng was being far too arrogant.
After all, he was facing a powerhouse at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. How could he be so dismissive?
The one-armed man felt the slight, and rage instantly began to boil in his heart.
"Hmph! Kid, you brought this on yourself!" the one-armed man sneered, then drew his sword and lunged forward.
A vicious light surged in his eyes.
SWOOSH!
He thrust his sword straight forward.
Normally, he would have scorned the idea of attacking Chu Feng. After all, Chu Feng was just a kid. For a master of the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm to strike a junior would be a joke.
But for the sake of the Cultivation Spirit Stones, the man attacked without a shred of hesitation.
Faced with this strike, Chu Feng remained perfectly composed, his expression even holding a trace of contempt.
Yes, utter contempt.
To Chu Feng, the one-armed man’s sword strike was simply far too slow.
With a sudden dash, Chu Feng’s figure vanished. No one could even see where he had gone.
By the time he reappeared, Chu Feng was already blasting a palm strike toward the one-armed man.
The one-armed man raised his sword to block.
CLANG!
The crisp sound of his palm striking the blade rang out.
BAM!
Chu Feng struck out again, his Palm Skill even more powerful this time.
He was using the Chu Family’s very own Taiqing Palm Skill, a technique where each successive strike was stronger than the one before it.
When the second palm strike came, the one-armed man had no chance to defend. Chu Feng was simply too fast.
THWACK!
With a heavy thud, the man was sent flying backward.
The palm had landed squarely on his chest.
"Is that all you’ve got? Your strength is a little disappointing," Chu Feng said with a laugh.
"Yes! That’s it! Beat him to a pulp!" Chu Tianshan roared with excitement upon seeing this. He was absolutely ecstatic.
He instantly felt a fierce release of all the frustration he had been holding back for so long.
That one-armed man had been so arrogant, picking a fight with him the moment he arrived. Chu Tianshan himself had been on the receiving end of several sword strikes.
"This... Ancestor, Chu Feng is..." Chu Wuji was so shocked he could barely speak, his face a picture of pure astonishment.
The power Chu Feng was now displaying was just too immense. It was absurdly strong.
This was the power of a Human Martial Arts Peak Realm Cultivator through and through!
"Hahaha, that’s right! Chu Feng is at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm! He’s been hiding his true cultivation all this time," Chu Tianshan said, laughing gleefully.
"Are you serious? That kid isn’t even thirty! Is that even possible?" Chu Wuji was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.
"I don’t know the specifics either. The kid’s just outrageously talented. But there’s no mistaking it, he’s at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. From now on, who will our Chu Family possibly have to fear?" Chu Tianshan said, his voice trembling with excitement.
Right now, he was even happier than if he’d stumbled upon a mountain of gold.
"This is impossible!" The one-armed man’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t believe that someone as young as Chu Feng could defeat him.
That one palm strike had sent his qi and blood into turmoil.
But regardless of his disbelief, Chu Feng wasn’t about to stop.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
He unleashed a relentless barrage of palm strikes, one after another, each one landing with a thunderous sound.
The one-armed man was sent flying back again and again. Every time he tried to charge forward, he was immediately repelled by another of Chu Feng’s palm strikes.
No matter how furiously the one-armed man swung his sword, filling Wangyue Tower with a web of Sword Qi, he couldn’t lay a single scratch on Chu Feng.
"You’ve got to be kidding me. How is that kid so strong? Since when did the Chu Family have such a freak?"
"Did the Chu Family just throw a mountain of Cultivation Spirit Stones at him to get him this strong?"
"It’s possible. Cultivation Spirit Stones are priceless treasures, after all. Even those at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm would fight tooth and nail for them."
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their eyes wide with shock and awe.
"Bullshit! Yes, Cultivation Spirit Stones are rare and valuable, but you can’t reach the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm with Spirit Stones alone," someone in the crowd argued.
Everyone knew that without talent, even a mountain of Cultivation Spirit Stones would be completely useless.
"Then doesn’t that mean this kid’s talent is scarily high?"
"Have you ever heard of anyone reaching the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm at such a young age?"
"Never. Not once. Except for the legends recorded in the annals of history, it’s practically impossible in this day and age."
