251 Is There No One Else From the Lightning Sword Sect? (1/2)
”Han Yuzheng!”
Hu Jian cast a fearful glance at Han Yuzheng, then sat down with his legs crossed and fished out some spirit stones to continue replenishing the inner Yuan he had expended.
He had used up more inner Yuan this time, so the recovery period was longer.
It took him a full thirty minutes before he finally recovered.
During the time he was healing, the people from the Lighting Sword Sect who were present all knew that the Thunder Knife Sect disciple who was there was Han Yuzheng. He was the genius that the Tielao planet had not seen in a century and was only 24 years old this year, but he was already a mid Dharma adept.
”A mid Dharma adept who's only 24 probably spent all his time on training, right? How powerful can his Dharma power possibly be?”
Quite a number of the Lightning Sword Sect people were suspicious of this.
Of course, there were more people who were calm. ”For this Han Yuzheng to appear now only means that there's at least an 80% chance that his abilities are not inferior to Cheng Yanyang's!”
”Cheng Yanyang had said earlier that she could only go as far as landing three hits when she fought against him!”
”My God! If what she said is true, which mid Dharma adept from our sect could possibly be a match for Han Yuzheng?”
…
Hu Jian had finished healing, and he moved to stand face-to-face with Han Yuzheng. The people from the Lightning Sword Sect who were there could not help but feel apprehensive.
As for the Lightning Sword Sect leader, Yu Yucheng and several of the higher-ups in the sect, they all sighed quietly. They knew full well that Hu Jian could not possibly be Han Yuzheng's match.
Thereafter, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Hu Jian moved to strike first. He struck pre-emptively, and it was a flawless move…
But be that as it may, he still failed.
Han Yuzheng made a move to block his attack, then made another one in retaliation. Hu Jian was pushed into a disadvantageous position and immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
His third move sent Hu Jian flying.
”Oof—”
Hu Jian flew and fell, spitting blood out his mouth. When he fell to the ground, he was half-kneeling due to the severity of his injuries.
Hu Jian was looking bad.
Han Yuzheng, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He levitated, hovering slightly above the ground. He summoned forth a ten-meter tall umbrella with his Dharma power and opened it, leaving it to spin nonstop.
The tips of the umbrella ribs at the fringes of the umbrella seemed unnaturally sharp, even for an umbrella conjured up using Dharma power.
The large umbrella continued spinning. Its form was perfect, and it seemed almost flawless.
The crowd fell silent.
After a moment, everyone seemed to come back to their senses. Unsurprisingly, the crowd collectively inhaled sharply.
”My God! Is he really only 24 years old?”
”It's already quite a feat to reach the mid Dharma stage at 24 years old… But the real issue is the fact that his Dharma power is actually so powerful!”
”Hu Jian is a core disciple with us at the Lightning Sword Sect. He's 37 this year, and he's the one we acknowledge to be the top mid Dharma adept in the Lightning Sword Sect… And yet, he could not last longer than three moves against Han Yuzheng.”
”That core disciple from the Thunder Knife Sect Cheng Yanyang, she wasn't lying.”
”He's just too strong!”
”Let's not even talk about the top sects... Even the two sects in the Hengliu galaxy that have been around the longest are unlikely to have mid Dharma adepts that are his match. His very powers defy the laws of nature.”
…
At this moment, the people from the Lightning Sword Sect who were present were not in complete despair. Though they were a little dejected, they believed this was expected.
It was a given for the Lightning Sword Sect to lose in such an exchange of blows, so this was not something that was terribly humiliating for them.
The Thunder Knife Sect accepting a once-in-a-century martial arts genius from the Tielao planet was something out of the ordinary, and so it was natural that there would be no one in the Lightning Sword Sect who could be a match for him.
”Sect Leader Luo, the Dharma power of this disciple of yours is already more or less on par with that of the adepts at the ultimate Dharma stage,” Yu Yucheng said, looking at Luo Yuanqiu.
He accepted his defeat in this match.
He could blame no one but himself for underestimating his opponent's determination in crushing the Lightning Sword Sect.
”Haha…”
Luo Yuanqiu laughed heartily. ”You flatter us, Sect Leader Yu. It's really nothing much, nothing much at all.
”Sect Leader Yu, the Lightning Sword Sect has an extensive and profound history, and it's not something the Thunder Sword Sect can hope to contend… One can make the presumption that your sect is probably still hiding a mid Dharma adept far more outstanding than what we've seen so far.”
Luo Yuanqiu seemed very earnest. ”Sect Leader Yu, you don't have to hold back out of consideration for my reputation, or for that of my sect.
”Though we are your guests, we can still accept defeat.
”Call forth the most outstanding mid Dharma adept you have in your ranks to exchange blows with this disciple of mine. You don't have to worry about knocking him down.
”What is youth without setbacks, no?”
