Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Crushing Dry Weeds and Smashing Rotten Wood
Seeing Yang Fei also sign his name and leave his handprint, Luo Yong looked at both and said, "Both of you are outstanding among the young generation of our Divine Continent Martial World, precious talents of our Martial World. Though there is bad blood, as the saying goes, ’It is better to make friends out of enemies.’ I hope you two can be generous and let go of your grudges, fight with restraint, and try your best not to take lives."
Yang Fei, with a grand wave of his hand, sneered, "Old man, save those sanctimonious platitudes. After I’ve dealt with him, I’ll come settle the score with you."
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected Yang Fei to dare to speak such words in front of Luo Yong.
Old man?
Damn, why don’t you go to heaven if you’re so brave, daring to curse a National Guardian Level powerhouse to his face?
Zhang Yunqing was also stunned, not expecting Yang Fei to be so fierce.
Luo Yong was taken aback, then his eyes sharpened like knives, and a fierce aura released from him as he fixed his gaze on Yang Fei, "Boy, are you seeking death? How dare you speak rudely to me?"
Yang Fei did not flinch under the pressure of his aura and coldly said, "Stop faking it, old man. It was you who attacked my wife at the border of Yun Province a little over a month ago. I have not forgotten that grudge."
Having said this, he ignored Luo Yong, who was so infuriated his face turned red, and turned towards Zhang Yunqing, "The life-and-death agreement has been signed. Let’s decide our fate first. After I’ve taken care of you, I will fight this old man."
Outside the platform, the venue had already erupted into uproar.
No one thought Yang Fei would be so audacious as to directly challenge the authority of a National Guardian Level powerhouse.
Amid their shock, many of the younger generation felt their blood boiling.
What a brave kid—a man of true spirit.
Some of the elders surmised the implications behind the scenes.
Especially Zhang Yunlong, whose eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance as he stared at Luo Yong.
Luo Yong going to intercept Qin Yanyang was naturally on his command.
After that failure, Luo Yong merely explained that Qin Yanyang was very powerful, a standout even among those in the Unique Tier, and a mysterious figure had appeared to block him, preventing him from crippling Qin Yanyang completely.
Zhang Yunlong naturally accepted this explanation.
After all, if a warrior of the Innate Realm had made a move, Qin Yanyang couldn’t possibly have escaped unscathed without powerful protection.
But now, was the mysterious warrior Luo Yong spoke of Yang Fei?
But how could that be?
How old was Yang Fei? Surely his strength wasn’t enough to stop Luo Yong, an Innate Realm powerhouse, right?
Next to Zhang Yunlong, Wang Chengcuo’s eyes also flashed as he stared at both Luo Yong and Yang Fei.
In Huangyang County, he had faced Yang Fei head-on and knew that Yang Fei’s combat strength was akin to that of the Innate Realm.
The exchange between Yang Fei and Luo Yong now left Wang Chengcuo somewhat surprised.
Had this kid previously clashed with Luo Yong?
Luo Yong once attempted to kill Qin Yanyang?
Thinking of this made Wang Chengcuo’s heart shudder, and he glanced at Zhang Yunlong.
This eldest son of the Zhang Family was truly reckless and foolhardy.
However, Wang Chengcuo soon calmed down, his heart filling with anticipation instead.
Kid, you better not disappoint me.
Once you kill Zhang Yunqing, Zhang Yunlong will inevitably break the rules of the Martial Alliance’s Life and Death Platform and intervene; you’ll undoubtedly die then.
His most beloved disciple murdered and the future of the entire Wang Family threatened by Yang Fei, Wang Chengcuo had felt extremely suffocated recently, as if someone was strangling him.
He believed that today, whether Yang Fei won or lost, he wouldn’t leave this venue alive.
...
On the platform, Zhang Yunqing was taken aback by Yang Fei’s brazenness.
He thought he had misheard.
What did this kid just say?
He dared to defy Luo Yong?
And even said that after defeating himself, he would challenge Luo Yong?
Was he insane?
Zhang Yunqing considered himself arrogant, but he hadn’t expected someone to be even bolder than him.
Moreover, this kid’s arrogance seemed to be based on his own strong confidence, unlike his own, which, to the greatest extent, came from the backing of his big brother and grandfather, from the entire Zhang Family.
With this thought, jealousy surged within Zhang Yunqing as he stared coldly at Yang Fei, "Arrogant! I know you have some skills, but it’s pure folly to think you can defeat me today!"
Luo Yong, standing to one side, was so angered by Yang Fei’s words that his chest heaved violently, and he almost took action.
Seeing that the two were about to duel, he forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and pointed at Yang Fei, saying, "Such arrogance and presumptuousness in a youth. If you remain alive, you will become a scourge to our Divine Continent Martial World."
Yang Fei didn’t even spare him a glance and said to Zhang Yunqing, "Don’t you want to kill me? Go ahead, make your move."
Luo Yong laughed in frustration and flipped backward, jumping out of the ring.
No matter what injuries he bore today, he must kill this brat and eliminate future troubles forever.
"Seeking death!"
Zhang Yunqing, seeing Yang Fei’s audaciousness, couldn’t help but become furious.
Usually, it was he, the Second Young Master Zhang, who was arrogantly domineering over others. Today, however, this youngster had stolen his thunder, and he could not stand it.
With a low growl, Zhang Yunqing released a fierce aura, his combat power at the peak of the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade displayed without any reservation, as he struck at Yang Fei with a move.
"What a strong aura, what good speed!"
"Truly at the peak of the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade!"
"The Zhang Family truly produces talents in abundance."
As Zhang Yunqing released his powerful aura, many in the audience couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Yet upon seeing that Zhang Yunqing had only revealed such a level of Realm, Wang Chengcuo, Luo Yong, Zhu Tianshou, Qin Yanyang, and the three brothers of the Xu Family, Xu Yunshan, all shook their heads secretly, knowing Yang Fei’s strength.
"Second brother, do not be careless, go all out!" Zhang Yunlong suddenly yelled a reminder.
Right at the moment Zhang Yunqing made his move, he suddenly had an ominous feeling, particularly because he was keenly aware of the disappointed emotions silently expressed by Luo Yong and Wang Chengcuo.
In the arena, as Zhang Yunqing, who had already made his move, heard his elder brother’s shout, he instantly braced himself, and without any hesitation, yelled out, "Heavenly Gang Divine Fist."
Boom boom boom!!!
In the space above the platform, there was a faint echo of thunder.
Zhang Yunqing’s punch seemed as if it could tear the heavens apart, bringing with it a faint golden glow that enveloped his fist.
The glow intensified, forming a round shield visible to the naked eye, encasing Zhang Yunqing’s entire body within.
"Innate Gang Qi!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Worthy of being the Zhang Family’s unique technique, this Heavenly Gang Divine Fist is indeed powerful, able to evoke Innate Gang Qi even at the Energy Transformation Realm level."
"With this Gang Qi bodyguard, one can be invincible in the same Realm!"
"Yang Fei is in trouble now!"
Amidst exclamations, Zhang Yunqing had already rushed up to Yang Fei.
He moved so fast that it seemed like Yang Fei hadn’t even reacted yet, standing frozen in place without any movement.
Zhang Yunqing’s mouth curled upwards, revealing a mocking sneer.
Is this it?
He couldn’t help thinking that perhaps he shouldn’t have used a mighty Combat Skill like the Heavenly Gang Divine Fist. If he killed this guy with a single punch, it would really lack the pleasure of a torturous kill.
However, the next instant, Zhang Yunqing’s pupils shrank, and his heart was filled with shock.
Yang Fei made his move.
He stood still and suddenly punched out.
This punch appeared so swift in Zhang Yunqing’s view, like a bolt of lightning.
"Thump!"
A dull sound.
The golden Innate Gang Qi shield was shattered by a punch.
The next instant, the two fists collided.
"Crack!"
The sound of a shattering fist resounded.
Zhang Yunqing’s pupils suddenly dilated, his face showing an expression of immense fright.
He saw with his own eyes his fist being blown apart.
But before he could cry out in pain, he felt an overpowering and rampant force sweeping up his arm, reversing its course and surging towards his Martial Meridian, destroying his veins and acupoints relentlessly, as if pulling down dry weeds.
"Splurt splurt splurt!!!"
As the force from Yang Fei’s punch invaded Zhang Yunqing’s body, blood erupted from his arm to his shoulder and then to his chest and abdomen, his body making continuous splurting noises.
