Chapter 670.2: There Is Still a Mountain Supporting - Part 2
Though Daoist Zhenye was a cultivator at the Nepenthe Realm, his physique was no match for Chen Chao's. In fact, even when Chen Chao had been at the Bitter Sea Realm, his physical strength would likely have been weaker than Chen Chao too. If not for the special daoist robe he was wearing, that single punch might have shattered his body completely.
Even with the daoist robe, Daoist Zhenye still felt immense discomfort, his entire body trembling as his organs shook from the impact.
Most cultivators in the world looked down on pure martial artists, but no one would ever underestimate a martial artist who had already stepped into Nepenthe. Furthermore, with a peerless martial artist like the Great Liang Emperor who had already shocked the world, it had long since made other cultivators cautious not to belittle the powerful martial artists of the current era.
Daoist Zhenye had always thought he had regarded martial artists seriously enough, believing Chen Chao's cultivation realm to be insufficient, which was why he underestimated him a little. He never expected Chen Chao to advance so quickly to Nepenthe.
Such speed had never been seen before.
Daoist Zhenye spat out a mouthful of blood essence and tried to create some distance between himself and Chen Chao once more. But to his surprise, Chen Chao followed right on his heels. He did not hold back either, his fists raining down relentlessly, each punch heavy and forceful. It was as though he intended to pummel Daoist Zhenye to death with his fists.
Having started as a warden, Chen Chao had dealt with demons for a long time and knew how to conserve energy. He rarely fought without consideration like this, but every time he did, it was only when he was filled with great anger. The last time he had fought like this was on Clearwater Mountain, where he killed that Mountain Lord with his bare fists.
Daoist Zhenye's internal qi was in disarray, and in such a short amount of time, he could not condense his qi at all.
He could only endure as Chen Chao's fists pummeled his body over and over again.
