Three-Seven Split

"Naturally!"

"I'm just an unknown nobody, only wanting to make some money. How could I dare lay a hand on a direct disciple of a Transforming Energy Grand Martial Master?"

Wang Sheng's disguised, hoarse voice echoed from the alley.

"Heh, a direct disciple? You're not worthy!"

Wang Sheng scoffed inwardly.

Zhao Jie's direct disciples were completely tied to him, destined to inherit his Transforming Energy techniques in the future.

Besides his son, no other disciple had been recognized as a direct disciple by Zhao Jie.

Unless his son was dead!

At this moment, many people were watching the unfolding drama from nearby, chattering amongst themselves, but no one dared to approach.

Jin Cang's companion, his Junior Brother Tian Muzhen, slightly relaxed his furrowed brow. He figured that with so many people watching, the opponent probably wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Moreover, Jin Cang was at the Mid-stage Dark Energy realm. Even if the opponent acted rashly, it shouldn't affect him!

Jin Cang thought the same. He nodded at his Junior Brother Tian Muzhen.

"Senior Brother, rest assured. Just call out if you need anything!"

Tian Muzhen said solemnly.

"I doubt he'd dare to act rashly!"

Jin Cang chuckled, his expression calm and composed. Clad in a black robe, his imposing figure stood out from the crowd, leading many to believe he was definitely a master of the martial world.

Indeed, that was the case. Jin Cang owned a security escort agency with dozens of skilled men under him. He also co-owned large tracts of land with others, with an entire village's populace as his tenants. He was also an elder of the Martial Alliance, holding a position of high authority.

Dada da...

Jin Cang strode towards the shadow-covered alley.

The dust that had been kicked up in the alley had mostly settled, but a significant amount still hung in the air like mist, obscuring vision.

After entering the alley, Jin Cang stopped when he saw a dark figure standing not far away. Just as he was about to speak, Suddenly, The dark figure collapsed with a thump.

Jin Cang's pupils contracted. He instantly felt an icy killing intent envelop his entire body. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his hair stood on end, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

The next moment, A figure, larger than his own physique, materialized behind Jin Cang.

Massive, bulging muscles, black clothing torn and ripped, and a ferocious, blood-splattered face with wildly disheveled black hair.

This was Wang Sheng after activating the second layer of the Blood Stacking Technique. His muscles were coiled like steel, his form tall and imposing, unlike any human.

"Die!"

Wang Sheng let out a low roar.

He unleashed the killing move of the Great Tablet Shattering Hand. His entire arm seemed to transform into a colossal steel stele. The terrifying, surging Dark Energy vibrated the surrounding air, and the bluestone bricks on the ground cracked like a spiderweb.

Double the power, plus body refinement techniques, plus two layers of the Blood Stacking Technique – all of Wang Sheng's hard-earned cultivation erupted in an instant.

"No! No! No!"

Jin Cang's eyes widened in fury. His entire body surged with energy, his blood seemingly like a bursting dam, rapidly gathering all his strength.

Jin Cang barely managed to turn around. As he gathered his Dark Energy and raised his arm to block, an ear-piercing whistling sound and a heavy pressure wave hit him head-on.

Jin Cang's facial skin was buffeted wildly by the wind.

The next instant, The terrifying force of the punch landed heavily on his arm.

Crack, crack...

The surging Dark Energy and immense force exploded like a breaching flood, and Jin Cang's arm shattered inch by inch, emitting countless cracking sounds like breaking branches.

As Jin Cang let out a piercing scream, Wang Sheng advanced further, smoothly sinking his stance. With the three forces combined, his other hand, which had been accumulating power, unleashed a cannon punch.

At this critical moment, Jin Cang still managed to defend. He timely raised his knee to meet the blow.

Crack!

His knee shattered. The immense force twisted his entire thigh, bending it like a pretzel, deforming severely. Blood and bone were exposed, a gruesome sight.

The sound of cracking bones mixed with screams pierced the eardrums.

Jin Cang's eyes bulged, blood spurted like arrows from his nose and mouth. His body, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a collapsed wall, blood mixing with the dirt.

In just a few breaths, Jin Cang, who had been imposing and full of confidence moments ago, was reduced to a crippled wreck.

"Ah!!!"

Jin Cang's screams were like those of a ghost being devoured. In the blink of an eye, he had become a severely disabled individual.

His arms were shattered, and one of his thighs was crippled. The unimaginable pain frantically stimulated his nerves, making it impossible for him to hold back.

"Why! Why!"

"That's the Great Tablet Shattering Hand, the Blood Stacking Technique! Who wants to kill me???"

Jin Cang was in too much pain to speak, letting out wails of agony as his mind frantically questioned.

Meanwhile, Outside the alley.

Jin Cang's first scream, along with the sound of bones cracking, startled everyone outside.

Instantly, everyone's hearts pounded with fear, and they couldn't help but retreat. Many even turned and fled.

"Something really happened!"

Only Tian Muzhen stood frozen in place, his expression suddenly becoming incredibly grim. He didn't know what to do.

According to their agreement, he should have rushed in to save him.

But who could have imagined that Jin Cang would let out such a chilling scream? The sound terrified Tian Muzhen, making his legs feel heavy as lead, and he didn't dare to move an inch.

If Jin Cang, who was at the middle stage of Dark Energy, ended up like this, Tian Muzhen, who considered himself only at the early stage of Dark Energy, didn't think he'd fare any better if he went in.

However, Tian Muzhen still didn't want to be branded as the one who sold out his Senior Brother. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and force himself to go in and take a look.

Immediately after, Jin Cang's even more terrifying screams, like the wails of a vengeful spirit, made everyone outside the alley's heart race, their faces filled with fear.

The onlookers, including the Martial Artists at the Bright Energy stage, scattered and fled as if a vengeful spirit was chasing them.

"Holy crap, what kind of monster did Senior Brother run into!"

Tian Muzhen was terrified and truly dared not move. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and he stood there numbly. He wanted to run.

But in the shadows, there were still Martial Masters at the Dark Energy stage watching.

If Tian Muzhen ran today and abandoned his Senior Brother, Then tomorrow, the prideful Zhao Jie would find out and, even if he didn't cripple him, he'd break one of his legs.

"This Tian Muzhen is also a good-for-nothing, he doesn't even dare to go in!"

From atop the Thousand Cranes Tower, a Martial Master at the Dark Energy stage, who was watching from the shadows, said disdainfully.

"Then you go in and take a look!"

Someone chuckled.

"Hmph, I'm telling you, at most it's someone at the Grand Perfection of Dark Energy inside. It couldn't possibly be a Grand Martial Master at the Transforming Energy stage. If I go in, it'll still be a three-seven split!"

This Martial Master at the Dark Energy stage retorted stubbornly.

"You have such a big mouth. An early stage Dark Energy practitioner dares to talk about a three-seven split with someone at the Grand Perfection of Dark Energy?"

"Nonsense!"

"He gets three punches, I get seven!"

"Then if you put it that way, I can even do a five-five split!"

Not to mention the commotion at the Thousand Cranes Tower.

Inside the alley, Wang Sheng sensed that the people outside didn't dare to come in and felt a little relieved. He then picked up the swords and sabers from the ground belonging to the bald man and others and threw them at the now crippled Jin Cang.

Puchi...

Several sharp swords and sabers firmly pinned Jin Cang in place. With the massive blood loss, his screams had quieted down considerably.
