"Haha, good, this is for the best!"
With a loud laugh, Zhang Lingyun flashed and rushed onto the stage.
"Qin Shaofeng, if you can block three of my moves, then I'll admit defeat." At this moment, Zhang Lingyun's face was filled with arrogance and pride, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
He had long wanted to make a move on Qin Shaofeng, especially after Qin Shaofeng had caused him such a great loss in the Beast Arena, he wished he could grind Qin Shaofeng's bones to ashes.
Now that he could openly teach Qin Shaofeng a lesson, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
He had already decided that he would defeat Qin Shaofeng using the most brutal methods, and then cripple him completely, turning Qin Shaofeng into a complete cripple.
As for whether he was Qin Shaofeng's opponent, Zhang Lingyun had no doubts at all.
One must know that he possessed the Body Tempering Ninth Level realm. If it were before, he would definitely not be Qin Shaofeng's opponent, but now it was different.
The current Qin Shaofeng had his Dantian crippled. Even if he was a master of the Houtian Fifth Level realm before, he was now at most equivalent to someone at Body Tempering Second or Third Level.
How could such a person be his Zhang Lingyun's opponent?
"Very good!"
Qin Shaofeng smiled coldly, and also jumped onto the stage. Then, looking at Zhang Lingyun, he said calmly, "Three moves are not needed. If you can block one punch from me, then I lose."
This calm tone made Zhang Lingyun's face freeze in surprise, and then instantly turn gloomy.
One punch?
This cripple actually dared to say he could defeat him in one punch?
Zhang Lingyun's heart was filled with boundless rage.
The crowd was also stunned, looking at Qin Shaofeng with disbelief. Could it be that Qin Shaofeng's head, along with his Dantian, had also been crippled? He actually dared to say such a thing?
"One punch?" Zhang Lingyun suddenly burst into laughter. "Qin Shaofeng, if your Dantian hadn't been crippled, I might have believed you. But now you're just a cripple. You think you can defeat me in one punch? You're dreaming!"
Dreaming?
Qin Shaofeng smiled. It wasn't like before. Even now, he was at the Houtian First Level realm. To give Zhang Lingyun one punch would be considered showing him some respect.
"Enough talk is useless, I'm making my move." Qin Shaofeng didn't want to waste any more words with Zhang Lingyun.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shaofeng leaned forward slightly, clenched his right fist, and then punched towards Zhang Lingyun.
"Hmph, I'd like to see how you, a cripple, can defeat me in one punch!"
A trace of cruelty flashed in Zhang Lingyun's eyes. Instead of retreating, he also raised his fist and met the punch head-on.
With this punch, he held nothing back. All his Body Tempering Ninth Level Inner Qi was gathered in his fist. He wanted to finish Qin Shaofeng with one punch, and let Qin Shaofeng know that a cripple is always a cripple.
Buzz!
Under the force of the punch, the air around Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun suddenly trembled slightly. A surging fist force roared out, and their clothes fluttered wildly.
This situation was clearly not right!
It was one thing for Zhang Lingyun, whose punch erupted with Body Tempering Ninth Level Inner Qi, to have such power.
But why was Qin Shaofeng also like this?
Moreover, it seemed that Qin Shaofeng had the upper hand!
Suddenly, Zhang Lingyun's expression changed drastically, and his previous confidence was gone.
Because he felt the immense pressure from Qin Shaofeng's punch. But it was too late to retreat now, so Zhang Lingyun could only brace himself and continue.
Bang!
As their fists collided, Zhang Lingyun felt his right fist go numb. A terrifying force came from Qin Shaofeng's fist. The force was so great that he couldn't resist it.
This was not the strength of the Body Tempering Realm; this was already the strength of a Houtian Martial Artist.
Zhang Lingyun was terrified and shocked at the same time.
This Qin Shaofeng was still a Houtian Martial Artist?
"Hmph!"
With no time to think, a muffled groan escaped him. Zhang Lingyun's body froze abruptly, and then he was instantly sent flying out, finally falling off the stage like a tattered piece of cloth.
Not only that, but with that heavy fall, Zhang Lingyun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. He was clearly severely injured!
This...
This scene stunned everyone present!
One punch!
It was truly just one punch, and then Zhang Lingyun was sent flying by Qin Shaofeng without any resistance.
Below the stage, Zhang Chongshan's face instantly turned ugly. Zhang Lingtian, standing beside him, even stood up in shock, looking at Qin Shaofeng on the stage with disbelief.
Houtian Inner Qi!
It was actually Houtian Inner Qi!
How was this possible?
I personally crippled Qin Shaofeng's Dantian, how could he still possess Houtian Inner Qi?
"How is this possible, how is this possible..."
Below the stage, Zhang Lingtian stared blankly, unable to accept this cruel reality.
Just then, Qin Shaofeng on the stage suddenly spoke.
"Zhang Lingyun, you kept calling me trash, but what about now? You can't even take one punch from this trash, what does that make you?"
"Pfft!"
Zhang Lingyun, who had fallen to the ground below the stage, heard Qin Shaofeng's words. His expression changed again, becoming extremely ugly. He couldn't bear the blow and vomited another mouthful of blood before passing out.
Seeing this, the expressions of the Zhang Family members all changed, becoming exceptionally grim. The Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Chongshan, had an especially dark expression.
On the other hand, the Qin Family side had many smiles. Old Master Qin squinted, stroking his beard with a happy expression.
"Qin Shaofeng!"
Seeing his brother injured and lying on the ground, and finally insulted and humiliated by Qin Shaofeng to the point of unconsciousness, Zhang Lingtian suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with rage as he stared intently at Qin Shaofeng and roared.
Qin Shaofeng ignored Zhang Lingtian's anger and turned to face him, saying indifferently, "Come up!"
At this moment, the scene fell silent again.
Although they didn't know why, everyone was certain of one thing: Qin Shaofeng seemed to have repaired his废去的 Dantian and his cultivation had also recovered to the Houtian First Level.
The reason they couldn't sense it before was that Qin Shaofeng had deliberately circulated the Yi Jin Jing to conceal his aura.
But once he unleashed it, his aura truly revealed itself.
Houtian First Level, there was absolutely no mistake.
However, everyone also knew clearly that Zhang Lingtian was at the Houtian Third Level, and even at the peak of the Houtian Third Level. Yet Qin Shaofeng still looked so relaxed.
Did he have some other tricks up his sleeve?
The crowd was uncertain, but also a little expectant for this competition, which seemed to have been predetermined.
At this moment, Zhang Lingyun's face was a mixture of shock and anger. He had actually been provoked.
That's right, in Zhang Lingyun's eyes, Qin Shaofeng's indifferent words were a provocation.
"Since you're actively seeking death, I'll grant it to you!"
A trace of sharp light flashed in his eyes, Zhang Lingtian grunted, leaped up, and directly onto the stage.
Not only did Qin Shaofeng seriously injure and insult his brother, but he also dared to provoke him. He must die!
As soon as he landed on the stage, Zhang Lingtian's entire body trembled, and his aura surged out wildly.
In an instant, with Zhang Lingtian at the center, swirling vortexes faintly appeared around him. Zhang Lingyun stood proudly within them, his imposing aura incredibly astonishing.
"Inner Qi forming shapes, it's Inner Qi forming shapes! My heavens, Zhang Lingtian has broken through to the Houtian Fourth Level!"
Under such a scene, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd, and the entire venue immediately became noisy.
Inner Qi could be stimulated at the Body Tempering Triple Layer, and after passing through the Body Tempering Realm, Inner Qi would transform into Houtian Inner Qi.
Houtian Inner Qi was much more powerful than the Inner Qi of the Body Tempering Realm and was much easier to control.
More importantly, once Houtian Inner Qi cultivation reached a certain level, that is, the Houtian Fourth Level, one could initially control the use of Inner Qi and form some tangible Inner Qi attacks outside the body.
Clearly, Zhang Lingtian had not known about his sudden breakthrough to the Houtian Fourth Level.
At this moment, Zhang Lingtian deliberately displayed his Inner Qi forming shapes to suppress Qin Shaofeng in terms of aura. He wanted to make Qin Shaofeng understand the vast difference between them now.
He was no longer the perennial second place among the younger generation in Lanjiang City, and Qin Shaofeng was no longer the most talented person in Lanjiang City.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the moment Qin Shaofeng saw him, he had already used his Fiery Golden Eyes on him and learned his specific information.
Character: Zhang Lingtian
Level: Houtian Fourth Level
Inner Qi Value: 150/150
Skills: Extreme Collapse Fist
Although Qin Shaofeng was inferior to Zhang Lingtian in terms of realm, due to cultivating the Yi Jin Jing, Qin Shaofeng's Inner Qi was four times that of his opponent.
This point was extremely advantageous for Qin Shaofeng.
"Make your move! I'll let you have three moves!"
Zhang Lingtian stood with his hands behind his back and said softly to Qin Shaofeng with the demeanor of a master.
Three moves again?
The crowd was startled, and they couldn't help but recall Zhang Lingyun from before.
However, the three moves Zhang Lingtian mentioned were for Qin Shaofeng to take three moves, not to finish off Zhang Lingyun within three moves.
But the more this was the case, the more it demonstrated Zhang Lingtian's confidence.
In fact, this was also deliberate on Zhang Lingtian's part.
He wanted to avenge his brother, so he said he would give Qin Shaofeng three moves.
Then, after three moves, he planned to defeat Qin Shaofeng with one!
Three moves?
A cold smile appeared on Qin Shaofeng's lips, but this time he didn't say anything.
In fact, this was exactly what he had hoped for. The more confident Zhang Lingyun was, the more he looked down on him, the better.
Previously, when Qin Shaofeng used Fiery Golden Eyes on Zhang Lingtian, besides obtaining his attributes, there was one piece of information that Qin Shaofeng found rather concerning.
Weakness: Dantian
Another ability of Fiery Golden Eyes had finally revealed itself at this moment.
Zhang Lingyun's weakness had thus been exposed.
The Dantian area?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Qin Shaofeng thought of something.
If he used that move, Zhang Lingyun probably wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?
But that's fine too. Didn't you, Zhang Lingyun, cripple my Dantian?
As they say, I need to return the favor, right!
While contemplating, Qin Shaofeng suddenly moved.
In an instant, Qin Shaofeng's Inner Qi decreased by 10 points, and then a surge of Inner Qi flowed from his Dantian into his legs, causing Qin Shaofeng's speed to increase dramatically.
This was the application of Houtian Realm Inner Qi. Compared to the Inner Qi of the Body Tempering Realm, once Houtian Realm Inner Qi was utilized, both offensive power and personal defense could be significantly enhanced with its assistance.
This speed of movement was also the same; it could be increased with Houtian Realm Inner Qi.
It was precisely because of this that there was a huge gap between the Body Tempering Realm and the Houtian Realm.
