One Punch Turned Liu Heizi into a Human Fountain

"I never imagined that the person trying to kill me would be you!"

Lu Chen looked coldly at Liu Heizi.

"Brother Lu Chen, what are you talking about? You're my junior brother and my closest friend. How could I possibly want to kill you?"

Liu Heizi stared at Lu Chen in disbelief.

"Is that so?"

Lu Chen sneered inwardly. Closest friend, my ass.

"Brother Lu, you actually said I wanted to kill you. That really breaks my heart."

Liu Heizi continued to prattle on.

"Lu Chen, Liu Heizi, both of you, get out here."

Manager Pang shouted at them.

Lu Chen glanced at Liu Heizi, then strode to the open space in the middle of the courtyard.

Manager Pang quietly gave Liu Heizi a look.

Liu Heizi immediately walked out as well and stood opposite Lu Chen.

"You two will compete in the first match."

Manager Pang glanced at them both.

Lu Chen, I'll make sure you don't live past tonight.

Manager Pang sneered inwardly.

Who knew what those above were thinking, insisting that trash like Lu Chen had to die in a more "reasonable" manner.

Lu Chen was nothing more than a lowly servant disciple. Wouldn't it have been enough to beat him to death directly?

Did it have to be this troublesome?

In the Joyful Union Sect, no one cared whether the lowest-ranking servant disciples lived or died.

"Fists and kicks have no eyes. Live or die, leave it to fate!"

Manager Pang looked coldly at Lu Chen.

"Leave it to fate?"

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up in a faint smile.

Manager Pang was not even bothering to put on an act anymore.

"How could trash like Lu Chen possibly be Senior Brother Liu's match? Senior Brother Liu is at Qi Refining, Third Level!"

"With Senior Brother Liu's cultivation, one punch would be enough to kill that Qi Refining, First Layer trash Lu Chen."

"He still isn't kneeling to beg for mercy? Does he really intend to fight Senior Brother Liu? Has he gone mad?"

The surrounding servant disciples watched the two in the arena, unable to discern Lu Chen's cultivation.

They still believed Lu Chen was the Qi Refining, First Layer trash he had always been.

"Fine. Live or die, leave it to fate. Begin!"

Manager Pang stared coldly at Lu Chen and spoke in a deep voice.

"Lu Chen, sorry about this..."

With a savage grin, Liu Heizi threw a punch at Lu Chen's face.

He possessed Qi Refining, Third Level cultivation. Killing Lu Chen, who was at Qi Refining, First Layer, would be as easy as pie.

Lu Chen shifted half a step to the right.

Liu Heizi's punch missed, and his body involuntarily lurched a step forward.

Lu Chen swung out his right hand.

Slap!

His right hand cracked viciously across Liu Heizi's left cheek.

The resounding slap sent Liu Heizi staggering several steps to the side.

"You..."

He stared at Lu Chen in disbelief. His left cheek burned with pain; there was no need to ask—half his face had already swollen.

"..."

Everyone around them was dumbfounded.

What had they just seen?

Lu Chen, at Qi Refining, First Layer, had actually slapped Liu Heizi, who was at Qi Refining, Third Level?

How was that possible?

At that moment, Lu Chen was both shocked and delighted.

After his body had been tempered by the Body-Tempering Pill, his hearing, vision, speed, strength, and reflexes had all surpassed those of cultivators at the same level.

In his eyes, Liu Heizi's punch just now had been practically slow motion.

He could easily dodge the incoming fist.

After being stifled for so long, I can finally stand tall!

This feels great!

"Lu Chen..."

Liu Heizi's shock turned into fury.

"Heizi, if you want to kill me, you need to have the skill for it."

Lu Chen looked indifferently at Liu Heizi.

From the moment he learned that Liu Heizi was his opponent, he knew this had all been arranged in advance by Manager Pang.

Manager Pang had originally wanted Hu Biao to kill him.

But Hu Biao had been crippled, so he could only find someone else to kill him.

That person was Liu Heizi.

Liu Heizi was smooth and slick, able to play both sides. He would never admit it, but he truly intended to stab Lu Chen in the back.

"Originally, I wanted to let you die quickly. Now it seems I was too merciful."

Liu Heizi stopped pretending too.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

Lu Chen looked calmly at Liu Heizi across from him.

"I didn't want to kill you either, but Manager Pang offered far too much..."

Liu Heizi fixed his eyes on Lu Chen, his gaze gradually turning vicious.

"Is that so?"

Lu Chen smiled. For the sake of a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones, these people truly would do anything.

Such was the sorrow of the lowest-ranking servant disciples.

Obtaining even a single Low-Grade Spirit Stone was simply too difficult for them.

"I was merely careless just now. Die!"

As Liu Heizi spoke, his body shook, and the powerful surge of vital energy from Qi Refining, Third Level immediately rolled out from him.

Everyone's expressions changed at once.

"Kill!"

With a low roar, Liu Heizi charged before Lu Chen in a flash, his right fist blasting toward Lu Chen like lightning.

The power of Qi Refining, Third Level erupted from his fist, its momentum like a rainbow piercing the sky.

Yet Lu Chen merely turned sideways and dodged the punch.

Bang!

He casually threw a punch straight into Liu Heizi's face.

Liu Heizi staggered backward from the blow. His nose bridge was smashed outright, and he spat out two bloodied front teeth.

"No way..."

Everyone was stupefied.

"Lu Chen, I'll kill you..."

Liu Heizi flew into a rage and lunged fiercely at Lu Chen, both fists raining down on him like a violent storm.

Yet unbelievably, Lu Chen easily evaded Liu Heizi's punches, moving as if taking a leisurely stroll through a garden, utterly at ease.

"How is this possible..."

None of the servant disciples could believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.

As Lu Chen dodged Liu Heizi's fists, he spotted an opening and seized the chance to step in and punch Liu Heizi.

The blows made Liu Heizi howl in misery again and again.

"Impossible..."

Liu Heizi was about to go mad.

As a dignified Qi Refining, Third Level cultivator, he could not even touch the corner of Lu Chen's clothes.

Yet Lu Chen gained an insight at that moment.

A powerful body could make up for deficiencies in cultivation level.

Right now, he was fighting Liu Heizi entirely with the strength of his body.

If his body became strong enough, could he perhaps achieve sainthood through the flesh?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

However, just as he was distracted, Liu Heizi let out a furious roar and pounced at him like a madman, his fist arriving before him in an instant.

Lu Chen hastily stretched out his right hand and actually caught Liu Heizi's fist in a single grip.

"..."

The servant disciples who had looked down on Lu Chen were so shocked by this sight that their eyeballs nearly fell to the ground.

Liu Heizi suddenly exerted all his strength, trying to pull back his fist, but it would not budge in the slightest.

Alarmed, he was about to give Lu Chen a groin kick when his stomach suddenly churned like rivers and seas overturning. The next moment, diarrhea was about to burst forth!

He abruptly stopped, clamped his legs together tightly, and desperately held it in.

Lu Chen gripped Liu Heizi's fist and twisted hard. A series of bone-cracking sounds immediately came from Liu Heizi's arm.

Liu Heizi looked in horror at his grotesquely bent arm and let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

Lu Chen had crippled his right hand.

Lu Chen chuckled, released Liu Heizi's hand, then drove a punch directly into Liu Heizi's abdomen.

Pfft...

Lu Chen's punch made Liu Heizi's entire body curl up like a giant shrimp, and the foul filth in his belly sprayed directly out from beneath him.

Liu Heizi collapsed to the ground, and a foul stench immediately spread through the air.

Everyone covered their noses.

That punch had directly turned Liu Heizi into a human fountain.

Lu Chen had added something potent to the pot of medicinal herb bone soup in the kitchen beforehand.

Liu Heizi had drunk the most of it.

Now, the Pill Poison in the soup had finally taken effect.

"No way..."

"What is going on?"

"Am I seeing things? Lu Chen, that piece of trash, not only crippled one of Liu Heizi's arms, but even punched Liu Heizi so hard that he shit himself?"

Everyone stood agape in shock.

That was Liu Heizi, at Qi Refining, Third Level.

Who would dare believe it if they had not seen it with their own eyes?

Manager Pang's expression was rather ugly. He had thought Lu Chen was as good as dead, but who would have expected that the one knocked down would be Liu Heizi?

He was utterly frustrated.

"Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi, feeling good now?"

As Lu Chen spoke, he viciously kicked the fallen Liu Heizi to Manager Pang's feet.

Liu Heizi spat out a mouthful of blood and lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, unable to rise.

Even more humiliatingly, he was still having diarrhea, his pants full of foul-smelling filth.

The stench was overpowering.

He wanted to die.

He hated Lu Chen to the bone.

"You can't even beat a Qi Refining, First Layer piece of trash. You're fucking worse than trash..."

Manager Pang's face turned livid as he looked at Liu Heizi by his feet. Just as he was about to explode in anger, his expression suddenly changed as a cramping pain shot through his stomach.

"Ah, my stomach hurts..."

"Mine too..."

"The latrine..."

At that moment, every servant disciple present was struck by stomach pain.

They scrambled toward the latrine, each trying to get there first.

"Make way for me! Whoever fights me for the latrine, I'll beat him to death..."

Roaring furiously, Manager Pang shoved through the crowd, yanked out a servant disciple who had just squatted over the pit, then slammed the door shut with a bang. Squatting over the pit, he let loose in a torrent and immediately felt relieved.

He felt relieved, but the servant disciples outside were spinning in circles with urgency, all clenching their legs together until their faces turned red from holding it in.

Some who truly could not endure it rushed straight out of the courtyard, dove into the grass outside, and relieved themselves on the spot.

Others ran to the neighboring Servant Quarters to borrow the latrine.

Watching this scene, Lu Chen felt absolutely delighted.

Served you bastards right for not leaving me even a mouthful of soup.

Got diarrhea now, didn't you?

May you shit yourselves to death, you bastards.

"Haha...!"

At this moment, no one paid any attention to Liu Heizi, who was sprawled on the ground.

Lu Chen walked over to Liu Heizi's side and stared down at him coldly. "You thought Qi Refining, Third Level was enough to kill me? Manager Pang was right—you're worse than trash."

He felt no sympathy for Liu Heizi.

"You..."

Liu Heizi was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Among all the servant disciples in the Servant Quarters where Lu Chen lived, he was the only one who was fine.

Everyone else had fallen for it.

Naturally, the match could not continue.

When Manager Pang emerged from the latrine, the servant disciples waiting outside immediately scrambled to seize it.

"Lu Chen, why are you the only one who's fine? Was this your doing? You've got some nerve! You actually dared to drug everyone's food with laxatives?"

Manager Pang glared at Lu Chen in fury.
