The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.
In an instant, the venue fell silent again, to the extent that Lin Zhiping's heavy breathing could be heard.
Under the setting sun, he knelt at Jiang Wuming's feet, his pale face filled with bewilderment.
Clearly, he could not believe or accept that he would be defeated by Jiang Wuming, and in such a humiliating manner!
However—
Even if he had a thousand or ten thousand reasons to overturn this fact, the pain in his shoulder told him that it was all true!
"Ugh…"
At the same time, Wang Zhisheng, Ye Rui, Song Chenglong, Liu Hu, as well as Xia Dong and Su Qiang, were all stunned.
Just now, when Lin Zhiping used the True Dragon Secret Art and the turbulent dragon engulfed Jiang Wuming, they all believed that Jiang Wuming would either die or be crippled.
Among them, Wang Zhisheng, Ye Rui, Song Chenglong, and Liu Hu all wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Xia Dong and Su Qiang, on the other hand, were extremely worried, their hearts leaping into their throats.
Xia Dong was even so scared that she screamed!
And in a blink of an eye, Lin Zhiping was injured by Jiang Wuming, kneeling at Jiang Wuming's feet…
This contrast brought them unparalleled shock!
Not only them, but even the onlookers were dumbfounded.
They were all ordinary people and had never witnessed the battle between martial arts grandmasters. They only felt that everything they had seen was more exaggerated than what was depicted in movies.
"Master!"
A few seconds later, the silence was broken by Wang Zhisheng, who could not help but call out to Lin Zhiping.
There was no response.
Lin Zhiping knelt there, motionless, as if his soul had been lost.
Originally, his entire life had been lived in Jiang Zhan's shadow. Just now, he had intended to seize the opportunity to teach Jiang Zhan's son a lesson and vent the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years, but his plan backfired.
In this battle, his martial will was completely crushed by Jiang Wuming!
Moreover, his remaining sense told him that after this battle, he would forever be nailed to the pillar of shame at Donghai Martial Arts Academy!
Seeing Lin Zhiping's dazed expression, Jiang Wuming's face showed no trace of mercy.
Mercy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
This was a truth that Tianlong Daoist had made Jiang Wuming understand.
Of course, Tianlong Daoist did not make Jiang Wuming understand this truth through preaching, but by arranging one task after another, allowing Jiang Wuming to comprehend it through trials of life and death.
Jiang Wuming knew very well that if his strength were inferior to Lin Zhiping's, then Lin Zhiping, not himself, would be the one kneeling on the ground at this moment!
"Let's go."
Jiang Wuming retracted his gaze, turned, and beckoned Qin Xiaozhi, Su Qiang, and Xia Dong to leave.
"Be careful!"
Just then, Xia Dong exclaimed as if she had seen something terrifying.
At the same time, everyone else's eyes widened instantly!
In full view of everyone, Lin Zhiping suddenly sprang up and punched towards Jiang Wuming's back.
A sneak attack!
After being defeated by Jiang Wuming, Lin Zhiping had fallen into a brief daze. Seeing Jiang Wuming about to leave, he suddenly awoke, unable to accept the outcome, and his resentment surged to its peak!
At this moment, completely disregarding his identity as a martial arts grandmaster and a teacher at Donghai Martial Arts Academy, he launched a despicable sneak attack on Jiang Wuming!
With this punch, Lin Zhiping still used the True Dragon Secret Art, and it was the killing move. His internal energy surged like a crashing tide towards his right arm, transmitting to his right fist. The iron fist faintly shimmered, emitting extremely terrifying energy fluctuations.
As he threw the punch, Lin Zhiping's facial muscles twisted together, his expression ferocious like a devil's, and his eyes filled with hatred and killing intent!
With this punch, he intended to kill Jiang Wuming!
However—
Ideals are full, but reality is lean.
Jiang Wuming's true martial realm was that of a one-star War God, and he had cultivated a mental domain, making his senses exceptionally sharp. How could he not detect Lin Zhiping's sneak attack?
Whoosh!
Under the setting sun, Jiang Wuming planted his left foot firmly on the ground, the sole of his foot turning, and his body swiveled. His right leg shot out, lashing out at Lin Zhiping who was sneak-attacking from behind.
Dragon Tail Sweep.
Previously, Lin Zhiping had used this move from the True Dragon Secret Art, and Jiang Wuming had blocked it.
This time, Jiang Wuming faced Lin Zhiping's sneak attack and also used this move. What would be the outcome?
"Bang!"
Jiang Wuming's foot struck Lin Zhiping's chest first. The true qi hidden in his foot erupted, unleashing terrifying power and instantly breaking through Lin Zhiping's protective internal energy.
"Crack!"
Lin Zhiping's ribs on his chest broke with a snap, his chest caved in, and blood and gore splattered everywhere. The entire person was sent flying backward as if hit by a speeding car.
"Pfft—"
In mid-air, Lin Zhiping spat out a mouthful of blood mist, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Originally, even if Jiang Wuming had only used true qi with the power equivalent to an eight-star martial artist, Lin Zhiping would have been no match for him.
Just now, Lin Zhiping's left shoulder blade had been shattered by Jiang Wuming's palm, and his combat power was affected. He could no longer use his protective internal energy to block Jiang Wuming's attack.
At this moment, after being hit by Jiang Wuming's Dragon Tail Sweep, not only were his chest ribs shattered, but his meridians were also severed, and even his internal organs were crushed. Even a celestial being descending from the heavens could not save him.
"Failed sneak attack?"
This sudden scene instantly left everyone present dumbfounded again.
Including Xia Dong, who was a seven-star martial artist, no one present could see the process of the fight between Jiang Wuming and Lin Zhiping. They only saw Lin Zhiping get up, and then they saw Lin Zhiping spew blood and fly backward.
"Plop—"
As if to respond to the onlookers, after flying through the air for a few seconds, Lin Zhiping crashed into a nearby rock garden and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Pfft—"
After falling to the ground, Lin Zhiping's body convulsed violently a few times, then he spat out several more mouthfuls of scarlet blood, his head lolled to the side, and he died completely.
He failed to sneak attack Jiang Wuming and was kicked to death on the spot by Jiang Wuming!
This outcome once again shocked everyone present!
"Ah—"
"Murder!"
After a brief shock, among the onlookers not far away, someone screamed and fled.
At the same time, the hotel staff immediately called the police.
Jiang Wuming paid no attention to any of this.
This battle was initiated by Lin Zhiping, and it was Lin Zhiping who made the first move.
Moreover, after he defeated Lin Zhiping, Lin Zhiping, unaware of his own limitations, launched a sneak attack on him, intending to kill him. Being killed in retaliation by him did not violate the regulations of the Martial Arts Department.
Huh?
At the same time, Jiang Wuming suddenly sensed a two-star War God's aura appearing at the entrance of the Dragon Orchid Restaurant and rapidly approaching.
This discovery made Jiang Wuming's brows furrow slightly, and then he beckoned to Qin Xiaozhi, Xia Dong, and Su Qiang again, saying, "Let's go."
"You're not getting away!"
The next moment.
Before Qin Xiaozhi and the other two could respond to Jiang Wuming, an angry and powerful voice suddenly resounded, exploding through the sky like thunder.
As the voice fell, the two-star War God arrived at the edge of the crowd, exuding a terrifying aura!
