Chapter 30: Chapter 030: Defeating the Enemy with One Punch
Translator: 549690339
By the Understanding Monument, swords radiated an aura encapsulated by a terrifying wave that made the surrounding sandstone fly in the wind. Zhang Zongjin, armed with his sword, stood his ground, blending in with his surroundings as if he was part of it. His posture, as sharp as a sword, deeply imprinted itself in peopleโs minds.
It was no surprise that Zhang Zongjin, hailed as โThe Worldโs Number One Swordโ, remained unyielding even at the peak of fury. The moment he held his sword, no waves of anger could be seen.
All those present were intimated by Zhang Zongjinโs aura, staring at him with faces of utter shock.
โTruly deserving of the title, โThe Worldโs Number One Swordโ. Such a state of mind surpasses everyone here!โ
Looking at Yang Zhen, he didnโt exude any aura. Up until now, he didnโt show any signs of fear, but anyone could tell that Zhang Zongjin was in his top form, able to bring out nearly all his power.
Zhang Zongjinโs cultivation level had always greatly surpassed Yang Zhenโs, and his mental state, remarkably, hadnโt been disturbed. This seemed to place him in a near invincible position.
Everyone marveled at Zhang Zongjinโs composure. Even Yang Zhenโs expression changed, his eyes filled with surprise as they shifted to Zhang Zongjin.
When he caught Yang Zhenโs gaze, Zhang Zongjin let out a hearty laugh, pointed his sword towards Yang Zhen, and said, โI donโt like to admit it, but you do have talent. However, there are some people you should never offend. This has nothing to do with the Sect. Do you think just any tom, dick and harry can join the Great Sect?โ
Upon hearing this, everyoneโs faces changed, instantly recalling Zhang Zongjinโs comment about them being nobodies. ๐ป๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐โด๐ท๐๐.๐ธโด๐
Though Zhang Zongjinโs words were harsh, they spoke a truth that couldnโt be denied: not everyone was qualified to join the Great Sect. Only those with exceptional talents were taken in.
Yang Zhen chuckled, responding, โIndeed, I seemed to have misunderstood. I initially thought you were nothing more than an overrated man, but it turns out, you do have talent!โ
Hearing Yang Zhen admit Zhang Zongjin was talented made everyone gasp. Was Yang Zhen beginning to back down?
But what use would it be to back down now?
Zhang Zongjinโs eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhenโs slow, steady voice resonated again, accompanied by the showing of his middle finger.
โOne punch. If I cannot defeat you with a single punch, you can kill me as you please!โ
What?
One punch?
Everyone thought they had heard wrong. They had assumed that Yang Zhen was about to surrender and apologize, only to hear him utter such audacious words, knowing full well that Zhang Zongjin was in his prime.
Was Yang Zhen still concentrating on destroying Zhang Zongjinโs composure even when the end was near?
This seemed almost impossible!
As expected, Zhang Zongjin laughed in anger, pointed at Yang Zhen, and said, โFine, if youโre bold enough to claim that. If I canโt withstand even one of your punches, from today onwards, Iโll keep my distance whenever I see you.โ
โWhy would you avoid me? Weโre all friends, you know!โ Yang Zhen sincerely replied, โI just want your martial skill, the martial skill of โThe Worldโs Number One Swordโ!โ
โYouโฆโ Zhang Zongjin turned an enraged green, obviously agitated to the point of humming with fury, he bellowed, โFine! If you can defeat me with just one punch, not only will I give up my martial skill, I will give up my life to you!โ
Zhang Zongjin was truly furious, his hair standing on end, leaving everyone around him in awe.
But Yang Zhen daring to demand his martial skill was preposterous enough, what was even more absurd was Yang Zhenโs claim to defeat Zhang Zongjin with just one punch. Had Yang Zhen lost his mind?
Buzz!
The heavens and the earth hummed as Zhang Zongjinโs long sword exploded with a thunderous hum, and he charged towards Yang Zhen.
Boom!
Simultaneously, Yang Zhen also erupted with a powerful surge of True Essence, the most furious Thunder Essence!
โFoundation Establishment Stage, Sixth Layer!โ
Someone recognized Yang Zhenโs cultivation level and was instantly shocked.
โHow is this possible? In less than three hours, did Yang Zhen advance from the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Sixth?โ โImpossible, thoroughly impossible. Yang Zhen must have been hiding his true strength before!โ
The crowd was inexplicably shocked, Su Qingyuโs eyes lit up with surprise as she curiously glanced at Yang Zhen. Princess Changyang was so astonished her mouth fell open in disbelief as she stared at him.
Zhang Zongjin burst out laughing disdainfully, โDo you really think that your weak Foundation Establishment sixth stage is enough to fight against me, Zhang Zongjin? Today, youโll have to pay for your foolish arrogance!โ
As Zhang Zongjin finished speaking, his long sword suddenly exploded with a dazzling radiance.
Those rays of light burst forth, transforming into countless waves of sword-shaped energy, overwhelming the skies and rushing towards Yang Zhen.
โHundred Swords Chiming โ this is Zhang Zongjinโs most terrifying martial skill, Hundred Swords Chiming!โ
โItโs over. I canโt believe Zhang Zongjin is starting up a powerful martial skill right off the bat. Yang Zhenโs chances of survival are slim.โ
The horrifying sword aura rushed towards Yang Zhen, the numerous bursts of sword energy shredding the ground with gaping wounds. The violent explosion of True Essence generated countless energy waves that were an inch away from Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye.
What surprised the crowd even more was that Yang Zhenโs figure suddenly disappeared.
The crowd frantically searched for Yang Zhenโs figure, all assuming Yang Zhen had fled. However, the next moment, all the practitioners near the Enlightenment Stele gasped in unison.
Faced with the overwhelming sword aura, Yang Zhen advanced instead of retreating, boldly dashing into the storm of sword energy.
At this moment, Yang Zhen was enveloped in a dazzling thunder light. Despite the countless wounds left on him from the endless sword aura, drenching him in blood in the blink of an eye, Yang Zhenโs speed wasnโt affected in the slightest. His face even bore a hint of a nearly maniacal smile.
โHeavenly Demon Grand Punch!โ Yang Zhen muttered, โTenfold!โ
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bursts of lightning erupted from Yang Zhenโs hand, amidst deafening roars. The hand wrapped in endless thunder snakes blasted towards Zhang Zongjin.
โThat madman!โ The majority of people changed expressions, their eyes flashing with shock as they looked at Yang Zhen.
No one expected Yang Zhen to be this ruthless. It would be acceptable if he was this hard on his enemy, but he was equally hard on himself, fully committed to a do or die situation, allowing countless sword wounds to wound him to land a punch on Zhang Zongjin.
At the sight of this insanity, countless people gasped in cold air, their looks towards Yang Zhen becoming more horrified.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed, mixed with the sound of cracking ribs. The overwhelming sword aura disappeared, and Zhang Zongjinโs body flew backed like a cannonball, crashing into the grass, causing debris and dirt to fly around.
The area around the Enlightenment Stele fell silent. Everyone gawked at the bloody Yang Zhen in front of the Enlightenment Stele, their terror replaced with horror.
Yang Zhen, covered in blood, looked like a devil, his body covered in lightning, a force so ferocious it was terrifying. novelbuddy.c(o)m
That was just one punch.
Zhang Zongjin clearly had lost the strength to continue fighting, laying motionless in the bushes, staring at the sky and mumbling, โImpossible, this is impossibleโฆโ
Indeed, how could this be possible? Zhang Zongjin had been famous for a long time, known as the worldโs number one swordsmen because of his terrifying sword fighting technique, Hundred Swords Chiming, which was virtually unbeatable.
Yet, even so, he couldnโt withstand one punch from Yang Zhen.
Just how terrifying was Yang Zhenโs punch?
Before the crowd could fully react, Yang Zhen, grinning, walked up to Zhang Zongjin, squatted down and said, โThanks for letting me win. You truly live up to your reputation as the worldโs top swordsmen!โ
โBlargh!โ Zhang Zongjin spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The surrounding crowd also had the urge to vomit blood. Yang Zhen was too shameless. If Zhang Zongjin was the number one swordsman in the world, then Yang Zhen was truly the worldโs number one scoundrel.
However, this also made many people curious. What on earth could this freak Yang Zhen comprehend from the Enlightenment Stele?
