Bab 265: Chapter 258: The two monsters sent by Heavens!
"You want me to throw a punch on your stomach?" Duan Li almost had his mouth opened wide in disbelief.
Judging by the aura you are releasing right now, you are indeed strong. However, if I were to compare you with Shen Murong, then your impressiveness failed to reach even half of his strength despite being higher than him by a single realm! If there is one thing that you would win here, it's that your self-confidence is as tall as Mountain Tai!
"Are you really sure?" Duan Li asked.
"En! You can use all your strength to punch at my stomach! There is no need to hold back at all! Bahahaha!" Wang Dong laughed out loud with his hands on his waist, as if not caring for the world itself.
Duan Li thought for a while before replying, "Very well then.. prepare yourself!"
Since the other party had told him to do so, then there was no need for him to stand on ceremony! After all, his present state had also left him helpless to control his current strength. Therefore, he could use the other party as a test bench to see whether it was safe for him to attack others in this competition or not.
Furthermore, this fellow standing in front of him could be classified as a monster class of his own! To think that an Early stage Core Formation realm cultivator would possess the aura density similar to those radiated out by cultivators on the Late stage of the same realm, Duan Li could not help but to praise him a little in his mind.
"Since he is about half as strong as Shen Murong, then 10 percent power behind my punch will not kill him.. at most, only the majority of his ribs and bones would be shattered.. that should be fine I guess?"
There is also a possibility of going straight into a coma though..
"Eh, whatever.." Duan Li clenched his fist and went into a stance.
Huh?
"This guy.." the moment Duan Li took that preparation stance, all of Wang Dong's body hairs stood on its end. From his experience, this kind of sensation only appears when the person he was fighting with was extremely strong!
Interesting!
Abs flexing technique: Supreme Turtle's Crust!
Huu!
Since only internal reinforcement skills was allowed in the competition, he chose to drive this powerful technique of his right from the very start in respect of his opponent. For him, this skill was way too overpowered and legendary in the field of martial arts. He had only stumbled onto its manual book by chance when he was taking a dump by the tall grasses near a certain river.
By driving his spiritual Qi around his abdominal muscle in a webbing fashion mimicking that of a turtle's shell, he could increase the toughness of his abs by several times, rendering any physical attack inflicted on his stomach to be nullified!
However, to his astonishment, even when deploying this fabled abs reinforcement skill of his to the maximum, he found out that the crawling sensation etching on his skin did not stop! In fact, with every passing millisecond, it was growing stronger instead!
Huu!
Suddenly, he seemed to saw the vivid image of an Asura projecting behind this opponent of his, and when Duan Li finally launched the punch halfway, he then saw the fist's image to be magnified by at least a few hundred times bigger than before with no signs of stopping! It felt like his tall body was an ant staring onto an incoming meteor from the heavens!
Instantly, he now realized that his previous judgement of his opponent was a terrible mistake, a mistake so wrong that could whisk his life away with only a single punch from the latter!
Kacha! Kacha!
His turtle abs was already showing signs of breaking apart even when the punch was still far from landing on his stomach.
Thus, without hesitation, he shouted out at the top of his lungs, "STOOOOPPPP!"
BOOMM!!
Fortunately for him, Duan Li heard this shrill cry of his that was reminiscent to a lady taking a bath that shrieked out when she discovered that she was being peeked at, and stopped the punch just a few inches away from reaching Wang Dong's abdomen.
Still, even when this punch had not connected at all, the sheer force behind it pushes forward like a blunt force accompanied by sharp winds that shredded the latter's martial Gi into pieces, exposing his rock solid body for all to see while only sparing his black underwear for some unknown reason. Perhaps, it was a legendary item that he happened to collect somewhere as well.
Shaa!!
"Huh? What's wrong?" Duan Li frowned and asked. He was a little frustrated at having to stop midway through his punch just when he was getting into the fun of it too.
"Hahahahaha! You passed! You are qualified to join this competition!" Wang Dong said with a straight face before continuing, "I had my doubts about you before, but now, while your strength is not that much when compared to mine, you should be able to give the others a go."
"..." Duan Li.
"..." others that are watching.
Do you think that we are blind? Besides, we heard it loud and clear that you shrieked before! We aren't deaf!
"Alright, I need to get going now and beat some of the more unqualified snubs around here. Hey you over there!" Wang Dong quickly turned around to beat a random participant near them and sent the other party flying before joining in the fight with the rest of the other participants.
...
"What unbelievable strength!" Liu Sheng Duhai was so surprised by the scene that he subconsciously clenched his fists tight.
How can someone on the Early stage of the Core Formation realm be that strong?! Not even a Golden Core realm could take such a blow and leave away unscathed!
With his powerful 'Eye of Unraveling Facade' skill, he could see right through the crux of a technique without much trouble at all, even more when considering the fact that what Duan Li used was just a mere punch. However, that made it even more scarier to him because it was such a simple punch but the might that it harnesses was so great that it was comparable to using a fist art!
In addition, he could not help but to notice that Duan Li was having some sort of internal injury that made his movements more sluggish than normal. This was evidenced by the very slow speed of the punch when it was being pushed forward, as if the latter was very careful of not straining himself albeit flowing perfectly.
By the side, Queen Levy chuckled to herself when she cast a glance at him.
"My husb- I mean, my Lord's prowess knows no bounds. Perhaps, in the whole Tian continent right now, there is no one who is above him in terms of fighting prowess." she said in a confident and casual tone, as if it was the most factual matter in the entire world that has not a single iota of wrongness in it.
This statement of hers naturally attracted the interest of Liu Sheng Duhai as the latter rose his brows.
However, the other party soon shook his head.
"Naive. While I can see that your master over there is very strong, he is still not much when compared to a Nascent Soul realm expert. Besides, this world have some hidden hermits that defies the common sense itself. If they were to come out from their seclusion, just by the wave of their hand, the current orderly society would instantly crumble and the previous chaos era would return to engulf the whole continent!" Liu Sheng Duhai said with a grim look on his face.
It is good that you are very respectable to your master and has a very extraordinary view on him, but such high expectation would leave your state of mind to be very vulnerable. If your master were to be beaten to a horrid state right in front of you, the knot in your heart would quickly cause your cultivation to run berserk and turn you into a mindless monster.
He had seen such a scene so many times before, especially back then when the Dark Sect had unleashed a plague that turned people into monsters which affected all of the nine empires throughout the continent 25 years ago!
Hearing this, the complexion of the lady beside her immediately turned cold before some of her suppressed aura leaked out for a fraction of a second.
"Hmph! Before those hermits could even make a move to disturb the current society, I will personally slaughter them all along with all of their descendants!" she snorted.
I have grown fond of the current development of the human society, if others wished to destroy it, then die shall they be!
Huuu!
What a monstrous killing intent!
Liu Sheng Duhai's heart palpitated as a bead of sweat flowed down from his forehead. He was utterly stunned with the murderous aura that this lady beside him radiated out for a moment before disappearing again without a trace, as if those sensations was all but an illusion!
However, being a Nascent Soul realm expert himself, he could finally detect a hint regarding the depth of prowess of the other party that he was unable to gauge before, which can be summarized into one word;
Immeasurable!
Furthermore, that kind of murderous aura was not something that can be summoned or emulated at will, much less be suppressed deep within oneself such that not even an inkling of it could be felt by others! After all, when one had committed murder, especially massacre, the nature of that person's spiritual Qi would be stigmatized permanently with a negative element, and whenever they cycled their spiritual Qi, their killing intent would be felt by others through the pores, activating one's instinct to be wary of such a dangerous individual!
Additionally, since one's murderous intent grew thicker every time they committed such atrocities, this was the reason why his body involuntarily shivered just now, because the killing aura from her was like an ever-engulfing flood!
Just how many people did she killed before? Hundreds? Thousands?
Was she perhaps, one of the hermit from the previous era that had stepped out from seclusion as well?
If that was true.. to think that one would appear in this little empire, and what more, became a follower of such a young man?
The more he thought about this matter, the more mystified he became. But if one thing was now obvious to him, it's that Duan Li's identity along with this lady was definitely not ordinary at all!
Right now, a part of him wanted to investigate their identity further, but through his vast experience, such a move was not worth the risk. If by chance he were to offend them, the consequences would not be limited to just befall upon him!
Letting out a sharp release of sigh, he looked up towards the night sky as he muttered to himself, "Heavens, I thought that you had granted me with opportunities for giving me encounters with two rare individuals.. but these two are monsters.."
