Chapitre 21: Take a Punch from Me
Éditeur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The cult member of the Pantheon of Gods actually swaggered out. Wang Yunlin narrowed his eyes. If it had been another occasion, he would have done it without a second thought.
But today, the A-level spiritual crystal was the top priority.
He had been stuck at the level of a Tier 6 awakener for almost five years!
It wasn't that his aptitude wasn't good enough, nor was it that his temperament wasn't firm enough. It was just that he didn't have A-level spiritual crystals!
For a Tier 6 awakener to advance to Tier 7, he needed to have A-level spiritual crystals.
Wang Yunlin had already felt the cruelty of the National Awakening. In the past, he could have waited a little longer.
However, in the new era, in order to protect himself and his family, he had to do everything he could to obtain A-level spiritual crystals and advance to Tier 7 as soon as possible.
Facing the evil cultists, Wang Yunlin held back his temper for the first time and make a move.
Steel Needle appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking in his heart. If it were not for the Flame Messenger's strong order, as a spiritual-type awakener who was used to hiding behind people's back, he would not have dared to be so arrogant.
Faced with Steel Needle's inquiry, Ning Shi was a little impatient, so he said coldly.
"I already said that I ate the spiritual crystal. Don't you understand? Unrelated guests, please leave the scene."
Ning Shi didn't want to implicate innocent people. He wanted them to leave, but Wang Yunlin didn't agree.
"Before I see the A-level spiritual crystal, no one is allowed to leave!"
"Captain Wang, you're treating human lives like grass. Have you thought it through?"
The scar on Wang Yunlin's face trembled again. He slowly closed his eyes and said fiercely.
"I said, no one is allowed to leave!"
"You're just a small strength-type awakener. Don't talk nonsense here. If you anger me, I'll kill you directly!"
The Investigation Department had changed. It no longer had the objective of protecting the people.
Ning Shi changed his plan of relying on the officials. He walked to Wang Yunlin expressionlessly.
"The spiritual crystal is with me. As for whether you can get it or not, it depends on your ability!"
"Take my punch!"
A straight punch, a crushing fist!
Ning Shi's body was like a big bow. His fist was like an arrow that left the bowstring, shooting straight towards Wang Yunlin's face.
"You overestimate yourself!" Wang Yunlin stretched out one hand and clenched his fist. The air instantly surged from all directions, as if wanting to crush Ning Shi alive.
Ning Shi seemed to not be able to see Wang Yunlin's movements. He continued to swing his fist, pressing forward with an indomitable will!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of air explosions rang out. The power of Ning Shi's fist was extremely terrifying, directly piercing through the wall of qi.
After the wall of qi was shattered, a violent wind blew in the Peony Hall. Countless air fragments were carried by the violent wind and scattered in all directions, hitting the wall of the hall.
Countless densely packed holes appeared on the wall of the hall. Some of the guests had their arms accidentally injured by the fragments. Their arms were instantly pierced through, and it was a blurry mess of flesh and blood.
"Ah!"
"Run!"
"I don't want to die! Mommy, come and save me!"
The crowd was in an extreme state of panic. Many of them had already hidden under the dining table.
Wang Yunlin's expression changed drastically. He was about to make another move when Ning Shi's fist directly landed on his face.
Bang!
Wang Yunlin's head went dizzy. He felt as if the world was spinning around him and his entire face went numb.
His face had been punched so hard that his skin and flesh were split open. He fell to the ground and rolled a few times. He struggled to stand up, but couldn't.
The others in the Investigation Department looked at Ning Shi as if they were facing a great enemy. Zhu Daniu revealed a questionable look on his face.
"Are you kidding me? I've come into contact with Ning Shi before. How could he be so powerful?"
"A strength-type awakener knocked down Captain Wang with one punch!"
"Captain is a Tier 6 awakener, his ability is an extremely powerful qi-type special ability. How is this possible?"
Ning Shi laughed.
"As long as you have enough strength, nothing is impossible."
Uncle Wang Zhiguo's mouth was also wide open in shock. When he remembered that he had once comforted Ning Shi it was fine if his talent wasn't good, he immediately felt ashamed.
His cousin Wang Yuwei was also stunned. When he thought about how he had flaunted his talent, he felt like a clown.
Ning Shi ignored the threats from the Investigation Department and walked to Wang Yunlin's side.
"I can leave whenever I want. You're not strong enough to control the entire scene."
Wang Yunlin had just regained some consciousness when he heard Ning Shi's words. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
After teaching Wang Yunlin a lesson, Ning Shi turned around and stared at Steel Needle, saying, "You can't be the only one in the Pantheon of Gods, right? The spiritual crystal is in my hands. Do you have the ability to take it?"
After witnessing Ning Shi's strength, everyone finally acknowledged Ning Shi's words seriously. Many people had already believed that the spiritual crystal was in Ning Shi's hands.
This was the reality of the world.
Only the words of the strong had weight, and only then would people be willing to believe it.
Steel Needle's hair stood on end after being stared at by Ning Shi. He closed his eyes and the dozen or so ordinary people around him were instantly controlled by him. They charged at Ning Shi without any regard for their lives.
Ning Shi executed Cloud Shadow Steps and flashed past the crowd at an extremely fast speed. He gave a punch with his crushing fist.
Steel Needle felt a fatal danger. He bit the tip of his tongue and gathered all of his spiritual power. He shouted loudly.
"Steel Needle Explosion!"
Ning Shi's head tightened. He instantly felt countless steel needles stabbing into his mind.
If other awakeners with low spiritual power were hit by this spiritual attack, they would be brain-dead on the spot.
However, Ning Shi's spiritual power was as high as 16 points, forcefully withstanding this wave of attacks. His fist paused for a moment before continuing forward.
Bang! Fresh blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!
Ning Shi's fist punched the head of the Steel Needle until it exploded!
"Ah!"
"I want to leave! Please let me go!"
The fresh blood splattered everywhere and splashed onto the bodies of many guests. Once again, they let out terrified screams.
Such a bloody scene caused the scene to once again become chaotic.
It was Ning Shi's first time killing someone, but he did not feel anything strange in his heart.
He had fought with magical beasts for more than twenty days in the game world, day and night. He had long regained his blood-lust and was used to the bloody scene.
Wang Yunlin closed his eyes. He understood that Ning Shi had already shown mercy when he punched him just now. Otherwise, his head would have exploded long ago.
Where did this monster come from? Its strength was so great that it completely overturned Wang Yunlin's understanding of strength-type awakeners.
Qin Lingyun, who was handcuffed by the Investigation Department, had bean-sized beads of sweat dripping down his face.
He was originally very dissatisfied with the Investigation Department's arrest. After seeing Ning Shi's terrifying strength, he only hoped the investigation team would quickly escort him away and leave this d*mned place.
Thinking back to how he had arrogantly said those words to Ning Shi, he was worried that if Ning Shi was unhappy, he would blow his head off!
Priest Qing Yun also had a nervous look on his face. His expression changed and he activated his metal-type special ability. The handcuffs on his hands automatically fell off, and he once again held onto his large sword. Only then did he feel a little safer.
Ning Shi saw the expressions and actions of the two Taoist priests of the White Cloud Temple. However, he had no time to pay attention to them now.
After Steel Needle died, specks of blue flames appeared in the Peony Hall.
Wherever the flames passed, tables, chairs, walls, pillars, food and everything that came into contact with them were burned to ashes.
Two unlucky guests were directly burned to ashes when they came into contact with the flames.
After all the flames circled once, they finally gathered together to form a huge flame. A moment later, the flame transformed into a person.
It was a tall, golden-haired man wearing a flame mask.
Wang Yunlin's face turned even paler when he saw such an obvious feature. He cried out in fear.
"Flame Messenger Brian!"
Wang Yunlin finally woke up from his greed for A-level spiritual crystals when he saw the appearance of a Tier 7 awakener. He looked at the hundreds of guests in the hall and felt a trace of regret.
Although there seemed to be only one level difference between a Tier 7 and a Tier 6 awakener, the difference in combat power was like heaven and earth.
Ordinary flame abilities could not be compared to the power of Blue Flames which could turn everything into ashes.
Everyone in the awakener's circle knew about the Flame Messenger's brutality and perversity. With him here, no one would be able to survive today.
If he had listened to Ning Shi's words and let the guests go earlier, these innocent ordinary people wouldn't have died.
It was he who had caused the deaths of hundreds of lives.
Wang Yunlin closed his eyes in pain. In the next moment, he stood up resolutely and walked in front of the Flame Messenger.
"Everyone, quickly evacuate the crowd. I'll hold off the Flame Messenger!"
After saying this, he placed his hands behind his back and made a gesture to Zhu Daniu to request reinforcements.
Looking at Brian who was standing in the air, Ning Shi instinctively felt a trace of danger. He said to his uncle and cousin.
"You guys follow the Investigation Department. When the battle starts later, I won't be able to take care of you."
Wang Zhiguo's heart was filled with regret at this moment. Two guests had already died in the apprenticeship ceremony, and there were more than a dozen injured friends. He should have listened to Ning Shi's advice.
Just as Wang Zhiguo made a move, a blue flame suddenly appeared in front of him and landed on his body at an extremely fast speed.
Death was right in front of his eyes and Wang Zhiguo was overwhelmed by terror.
Clang!
A flash of sword light and Wang Zhiguo's left arm was completely cut off.
The broken arm flew in the air and turned into ashes, scattering on the ground.
At the critical moment, Ning Shi took out his sword and cut off his uncle's arm, saving his life.
"What a fast blade!"
Brian finally spoke.
Ning Shi held a long alloy sword in his hand and stared at him coldly. "The reinforcements from the Investigation Department will be here soon. You don't want to be stuck here, right? The spiritual crystal is with me. Let's find a place with no one and fight to the death."
"Whoever wins will get the spiritual crystal."
Brian was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. He spoke in a heavy foreign accent.
"Okay, but the person behind you must die for insulting the Pantheon of Gods! And the two Taoist priests from the White Cloud Temple! I'm very curious if the Pantheon of Gods is not worth mentioning in front of the White Cloud Temple!"
Wang Zhiguo gritted his teeth and broke out in cold sweat. His face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.
His son, Wang Yuwei, took off his shirt and tightly covered his wound.
He didn't expect that his flattery would cause the Pantheon of God's powerhouse to be so angry. Wang Zhiguo took a deep breath and said to Ning Shi.
"Xiao Shi, protect Xiao Wei well. Don't worry about me. I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on doing things my way. I deserve to die!"
Ning Shi ignored his uncle's pleas. He continued to stare at Brian. "I don't care about the Taoist priests. This person is my uncle. If you want to kill him, then try to see if your flames are stronger or if the sword in my hand is faster."
Ning Shi's mind was immersed in the long sword. An invisible blade was emitted from his body.
This blade seemed to be able to destroy everything.
After Qing Yun saw it, his tanned face revealed a shocked expression, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Sword intent! The legendary sword intent exists!"
