253 Are You Convinced Now? (1/2)
This was Zhou Donghuang going easy on the man.
Otherwise, he could have landed that blow on Han Yuzheng's head instead and ended his life!
Even without killing the man, he could beat him completely with just a blow to his shoulder.
Whoosh!!
Han Yuzheng was completely terrified after the blow Zhou Donghuang landed on his shoulder. He hurried to convert what inner Yuan he had left, scurrying back to avoid the other man.
Zhou Donghuang made no move to chase him. He stood rooted to the spot, looking at the other man with a calm face. ”There. You satisfied now?”
Han Yuzheng was back to his senses now. Just the mere thought of what had transpired earlier was enough to scare him so much he broke into a cold sweat.
He knew full well that the other party had gone easy on him.
Otherwise, he would have been crippled even if he made it out alive!
He sucked in a cold breath discreetly, then turned a baleful glare onto Zhou Donghuang. He spoke with a serious look on his face, ”One day, I will defeat you!”
Han Yuzheng thought about it; he was only 24 this year.
The young man standing in front of him seemed to be even younger than him. Although, there was a possibility that he was older than Han Yuzheng, but he just had a baby face.
”Is that so?”
In the face of Han Yuzheng's vengeful declaration, Zhou Donghuang offered nothing but a mild simple. ”Well, then, I'll be waiting!”
At this time, the audience finally recovered from their shocked stupor.
”He won?”
”Did Zhou Donghuang really take out the Thunder Knife Sect disciple Han Yuzheng with a single blow?”
”My God! This sort of power is too much, isn't it?”
”That technique he used earlier was Dharmic possession, no? From what I know, the current Tielao planet barely has any adepts who are capable of mastering Dharmic possession, even amongst the adepts at the ultimate Dharma stage.”
”And to think we're harboring such a beast in the Lightning Sword Sect!”
…
The people of the Lightning Sword Sect had initially thought that today's showdown would end in their loss against the Thunder Knife Sect, since the latter was much more prepared than they had been. After all, the only core disciple they had that was at the Dharma stage had already lost.
They never expected for Autumn Valley disciple, Zhou Donghuang, to make his entrance at the eleventh hour. They also did not expect for him to take down the strongest mid Dharma adept in the Thunder Knife Sect, Han Yuzheng, with a single blow!
Anyone with good sense could tell from that scene earlier on that that one blow Zhou Donghuang dealt was already him going easy on his opponent. Otherwise, Han Yuzheng would be crippled if not dead!
He Jin was not surprised when he saw Zhou Donghuang take Han Yuzheng down with a single blow. Now, he was even teasing the Thunder Knife Sect leader, Luo Yuanqiu.
Luo Yuanqiu was smiling, but it did not reach his eyes. It was obvious that he was being put on the spot.
After some hesitation, he stared firmly at He Jin before directing his gaze at the Lightning Sword Sect leader Yu Yucheng. ”Sect Leader Yu, the Thunder Knife Sect has lost in this showdown.
”To think the Lightning Sword Sect had been harboring such a talent!
”I take my leave!” Luo Yuanqiu said, not even bothering with niceties. He announced that he was taking his leave and left with the Thunder Knife Sect members.
As the people of the Lightning Sword Sect watched Luo Yuanqiu and the bunch take their leave, a sense of fulfillment filled them.
They watched as the silhouettes of Luo Yuanqiu and the bunch disappeared from their sight. The atmosphere seemed to be charged with excitement yet again. ”Haha… That Thunder Knife Sect leader probably never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that this would be the outcome of a showdown initiated by the Thunder Knife Sect.”
”I thought we'd lost just now, what with Hu Jian losing and all.”
”Me too.”
”I really didn't expect for the Autumn Valley to have been hiding a trump card like Zhou Donghuang… Zhou Donghuang's made his appearance, then demonstrated Dharma power more perfect than Han Yuzheng's was. He even went as far as demonstrating Dharmic possession and taking Han Yuzheng out with a single blow!”
”Even the Lightning Sword Sect's only mid Dharma core disciple, Hu Jian, could not take more than three blows from Han Yuzheng. Han Yuzheng, on the other hand, was wiped out with just one blow from Zhou Donghuang.”
”From today on, the number one mid Dharma adept in the Lightning Sword Sect is no longer Hu Jian—it's Zhou Donghuang!”
…
Let's say the tale of Zhou Donghuang heading towards the Summer Valley a few months prior and his defeating of the Summer Valley disciple, Lian Can, had been but a small tale.
The Zhou Donghuang of today, though, had earned a bona fide reputation after helping the Lightning Sword Sect score a victory against the Thunder Knife Sect in that showdown. His name had spread through the whole of the Lightning Sword Sect!
Today, he had exacted revenge on behalf of the Lightning Sword Sect.
This incident was reason enough for a majority of the sect to owe Zhou Donghuang a debt of gratitude.
”Haha…”
After the people from the Thunder Knife Sect took their leave, Yu Yucheng, as the Sect Leader, could not help but burst into raucous laughter. ”Delightful, absolutely delightful!
”That Luo Yuanqiu, he put in all that effort to come all the way here to the Lightning Sword Sect just so he could flaunt that genius of a disciple Han Yuzheng, no? And what became of that? One of our inner disciples of the same age struck him down with a single blow!
”Poor guy, he's probably drowning in his own regrets.”
