Chapter 324: Chapter 216: You give me a great opportunity, I return your remains to the sect
No one could have predicted such an accident would occur during the internal selection!
"Audacious!" Prince Seven bellowed. He punched out, his Primordial Power vibrating, resembling a coiling dragon.
Beside him, Jiang Shu was even faster. The moment Tu Yuan exuded murderous intent, Jiang Shu had sensed it; the Path of Sincerity allowed for preemptive knowledge. Executing Concealing Steps, Jiang Shu’s figure instantly flashed in front of Luo Yu.
"Break Limit: Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand!"
A dragon-shaped giant claw condensed. The violent fluctuations of Primordial Power and spiritual power struck directly at the attack from Tu Yuan’s Treasure.
"BOOM!"
The air seemed to collapse. Tu Yuan’s figure was forcibly knocked back a step by Jiang Shu’s palm strike, and the killing blow he had been holding back until now consequently missed Luo Yu.
"You little bastard!"
Having established a force in Qianyuan City, Tu Yuan’s combat experience was extensive. He let out a low shout, deftly dodging Prince Seven’s strike, and swallowed a blood pill.
Majestic Primordial Power, like a gathering storm, raged violently within the cave.
"You are not the Huang Family’s genius, Huang Junlin," Prince Xue Xuan declared, his gaze fierce. "I don’t know how you managed to infiltrate our ranks, nor do I care what grudges you hold against the Luo Family. But for you to interfere in our Da Jing Dynasty’s internal selection—for that, you must die!" His nearly tangible murderous aura burst forth. This mountain range was restricted to geniuses, precisely to prevent outsiders from interfering and to ensure absolute fairness.
After all, the results of the Hundred Dynasties War were crucial to the future prosperity and decline of a Dynasty. The more geniuses a Dynasty possessed, the more brilliantly they could perform within their Sects, and thus the more support their Da Jing Dynasty could garner, elevating its status.
Luo Yu’s ability to exit so quickly was a testament to his sufficient strength. If he were injured here, how could he possibly achieve significant results in the Hundred Dynasties War?
"PFFT."
In just two punches, the combined assault of Prince Seven and Jiang Shu had beaten Tu Yuan to the point of vomiting blood.
"Let’s end this quickly!" Jiang Shu stated coldly. Although only a few breaths had passed since Tu Yuan made his move, three more genius figures had already burst from the spheres of light behind them, transforming into streaks of light and immediately rushing out of the cave.
Although, with Prince Seven as a witness, these three were among those who exited early and should have passed, the matter was of great importance. Moreover, the rules stipulated that one only counted as having passed after exiting the cave. Rather than dispute with the other geniuses later, it was better to end this battle as quickly as possible.
Behind them, Luo Yu also instantly recovered his composure. He drew his bow and loosed an arrow formed of condensed Primordial Power.
"You want to kill me?" Tu Yuan snarled, harshly wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his lips. "You won’t be able to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War either!" Before him, nineteen spheres of light had extinguished, indicating that fifteen geniuses had already exited the cave. If I can just delay for another moment, five more geniuses will exit.
Even if these three manage to kill me, it will all be in vain for them.
Regrettably, two troublesome obstacles had appeared; otherwise, my strike would have definitely slain Luo Yu.
The enmity for the one who killed my son is such that we cannot live under the same sky!
"Silence!" Jiang Shu struck again with the Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand. The continuous flow of Primordial Power and spiritual power from within his body, along with an exceptionally ferocious oppressive force, surged towards Tu Yuan with his every step as he advanced. A sky-sweeping murderous aura erupted from him! "Old thief Tu Yuan, do you know the name of this move of mine? This is the Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand!"
His voice boomed like mighty thunder as Jiang Shu’s palm struck down.
Disguised as a Huang Family genius, he successfully entered the internal selection, all with such painstaking scheming, naturally to kill Luo Yu, the one he perceived as his son’s murderer. Jiang Shu thought. But what if Tu Yuan knew that I, Jiang Shu, also had a hand in his son’s death?
I don’t believe Tu Yuan is unaware that his own son once bought a quasi-Supreme Martial Arts technique, the Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand, at an auction.
I’ll infuriate him with my words, find a flaw, and completely crush him in the shortest possible time!
"You little bastard, it was you!"
Indeed, the moment Jiang Shu’s words landed, a flicker of red light gleamed in Tu Yuan’s eyes. He bellowed, and a falter in the circulation of his Primordial Power was instantly seized by Jiang Shu.
Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand!
With what sounded like a dragon’s roar, Jiang Shu’s strike unleashed a complete eruption of all the Primordial Power and spiritual power in his body. Behind him, another sphere of light extinguished as a genius transformed into a streak of light and fled the cave.
Only four spots remained.
"BOOM!"
"We’re all at the Middle Stage of the Detachment Realm; do you think you can kill me so quickly?" Tu Yuan roared, a mixture of regret and an indescribable, perverse thrill rising in his heart.
I regret not spending enough time with my son; otherwise, why would he have gone to an auction to buy any Treasure or quasi-Supreme Martial Art?
The thrill comes from the thought that if I can just hold on for a few more breaths, then even if I die, I will ruin the futures of three geniuses.
If they miss this Hundred Dynasties War, who knows if their age will even allow them to participate in the next one.
And even if they do participate and successfully join a Sect, could a genius in their twenties compare to one in their thirties? Is that even the same thing?
"We are all at the Middle Stage, but there are still varying levels of proficiency!" Even now, Prince Xue Xuan had not withdrawn from the battle. He spoke as he attacked, his fists moving like dragons, executing the Emperor Dragon Fist—the foundational Martial Arts compendium of the Da Jing Dynasty. It was a Martial Arts compendium that integrated Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement, a true three-in-one system. His rapid advancement to the Middle Stage of the Detachment Realm was thanks to this very Martial Arts compendium.
And within the Sects, there were Martial Arts compendiums even stronger than the Emperor Dragon Fist. Some could even evolve into powerful Divine Skills.
