Chapter 157: Surprise Surprise! (2)

[A/N: Posting 2 extra bonus Chapters today because we reached a power stone milestone!]

Everyone was shocked by Chen Chuan’s suddenly revealed Cultivation; the ant they had imagined had instantly turned into a Ferocious Beast capable of biting someone.

Su Mengxi suddenly turned her head back, her exquisite and beautiful face filled with astonishment.

Her red lips parted slightly as she looked at Chen Chuan on the stage, whose Aura was skyrocketing, in disbelief.

"He... he actually broke through?"

"But even so, the gap between the first and third layers of the Half-Step Great Power is still huge..."

Although Chen Chuan’s true Cultivation surprised her, Lin Feng was at the Third Layer of the Half-Step Great Power Realm.

The difference in strength between the two was still significant.

Zhao Hengjiang’s pupils also shrank, and the smug smile on his face froze: "This guy actually broke through? How is that possible?"

But he quickly calmed down again and said through gritted teeth, "Hmph, so what if he’s at the First Layer of the Half-Step Great Power? Senior Brother Lin is at the Third Layer; killing him will be as easy as turning over a hand."

On the stage, Lin Feng felt Chen Chuan’s Aura, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by even thicker Killing Intent.

"So you were hiding your Cultivation? No wonder you dared to be so arrogant!"

"But do you think that with just the First Layer of the Half-Step Great Power, you can contend with me? You’re dreaming! Die!"

His Sword Gang descended even faster!

Facing that sharp Sword Gang, Chen Chuan did not dodge.

With the surge of power from the Nine Revolutions Battle Scripture and the reinforcement of his powerful Physique that far surpassed those of the same level, he simply and directly threw a punch.

The punch wind was vast, faintly carrying the sound of wind and thunder, as a domineering and matchless Battle Intent soared into the sky.

"Boom!"

The punch force and the Sword Gang collided fiercely, producing a dull, massive boom.

Air waves rolled, kicking up clouds of dust.

A scene that left everyone dumbfounded occurred.

The seemingly invincible green Sword Gang actually shattered inch by inch under Chen Chuan’s punch force, dissipating into points of light.

And Lin Feng was even more heavily struck, letting out a muffled groan and staggering back seven or eight steps before he could barely steady himself, his face filled with horror.

In contrast, Chen Chuan’s figure was as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.

"This... how is this possible?"

Lin Feng cried out in shock.

The battle situation, from the very beginning, showed a one-sided trend.

But the one being suppressed was actually Lin Feng, who had the higher Cultivation!

Chen Chuan did not let up, his figure closing in like a ghost.

Punches, palms, fingers, and legs—every strike contained the terrifying strength and explosive combat power brought by the Nine Revolutions Battle Scripture.

His attacks were broad and powerful yet precise and ruthless, leaving Lin Feng with no power to fight back, only able to clumsily parry and dodge.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of fist-to-flesh collisions rang out continuously, and the Protective Spiritual Light on Lin Feng’s body flickered incessantly as blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth.

The Lin Feng Sword Technique he was so proud of appeared full of holes in the face of Chen Chuan’s absolute strength and speed, making it impossible for him to effectively execute it.

"No! I don’t believe it!"

Lin Feng acted like he was going mad, desperately urging his Spiritual Energy in an attempt to counterattack.

However, Chen Chuan’s gaze remained cold. Seizing a flaw, he instantly condensed his strength into his right fist, pushing the Nine Revolutions Battle Intent to the extreme.

"It’s over."

As the cold words fell, a Fist Gang condensed to the extreme, like a meteor crashing to the ground, ignored all the defenses Lin Feng had hastily set up and slammed hard into his head.

"Puchi!"

Like a watermelon bursting, red and white matter splattered everywhere!

Lin Feng’s movements instantly froze, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his headless corpse swayed before falling heavily onto the Life and Death Stage, kicking up a pile of dust.

In an instant, the entire area around the Life and Death Stage fell into a dead silence.

Everyone’s eyes widened and their mouths hung open as they looked in disbelief at the figure standing proudly on the stage and the headless corpse at his feet.

Dead?

Lin Feng, at the Third Layer of the Half-Step Great Power Realm, was actually killed by Chen Chuan, who was only at the First Layer, across two levels?

And it was so clean and efficient, almost a total suppression.

Shock!

Inexpressible shock was written on everyone’s face.

Zhao Hengjiang was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape, making a wheezing sound in his throat.

He looked as if someone had grabbed him by the throat, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear and a sense of absurdity.

How was this possible?

How could Senior Brother Lin lose?

How could he die?

Su Mengxi covered her beautiful red lips, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the figure on the stage with flying black hair and fluttering clothes.

Looking at the cold lines of his handsome profile, she felt a sense of daze, as if she were in a dream.

The First Layer of the Half-Step Great Power slaying the Third Layer?

And it was such a powerful suppression.

This Chen Chuan, what kind of monstrous talent was he?

The Elder responsible for supervision was also stunned for a moment before taking a deep breath and announcing loudly, "The life-and-death battle is over. The winner, Chen Chuan!"

Chen Chuan remained expressionless as he walked to Lin Feng’s corpse, skillfully took off the storage ring from his hand, and put it away without even looking at it.

Subsequently, he slowly walked down the Life and Death Stage.

His gaze, like two cold swords, instantly locked onto Zhao Hengjiang, who was trying to slip away quietly.

Seeing Chen Chuan approaching with Killing Intent, Zhao Hengjiang’s Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering; his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

"You... what do you want to do? Chen Chuan! My big brother is Zhao Ritian! If you dare touch me, my big brother will never let you off!"

He screamed with false bravado while turning around, wanting to run.

However, how could he possibly outrun Chen Chuan?

With a flash of his figure, Chen Chuan appeared in front of Zhao Hengjiang as if he had teleported.

"Ah! No!"

Zhao Hengjiang let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

Chen Chuan didn’t waste any words and directly took action.

His punches and kicks fell like raindrops, specifically targeting the fleshy and painful areas.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ah!"

"Mercy!"

"Grandpa Chen, I was wrong!"

Zhao Hengjiang was beaten until he was scurrying like a rat, screaming repeatedly, his face bruised and swollen. He soon turned into a pig’s head, wailing and rolling on the ground, in an extremely pathetic state.

Finally, Chen Chuan stepped on him and, under his terrified gaze, stripped the storage ring from his hand as well.

The surrounding crowd, looking at Zhao Hengjiang’s miserable appearance, felt both relieved and a bit sad for him.

At the same time, more doubts surfaced in their minds.

"Chen Chuan beat Zhao Hengjiang so severely and even robbed his storage ring. Does he really not fear Zhao Ritian’s retaliation at all?"

"Zhao Ritian is the Outer Sect’s number one Genius, at the Great Power Realm, Ninth Level!"

"This guy is too fierce, isn’t he? He just killed Lin Feng and then turned around and beat Zhao Hengjiang like this."

Chen Chuan didn’t care about these discussions.

He coldly glanced at the groaning Zhao Hengjiang on the ground, as if he were looking at a pile of trash.

"If you ever dare to provoke me again, his end will be yours."

Leaving behind these cold words, Chen Chuan did not stay any longer.

Under the gaze of countless complex eyes, he walked straight toward his residence.

He left behind only an awe-inspiring and mysterious back view.

Su Mengxi looked at his back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, and the shock in her heart did not subside for a long time.

Today’s events completely overturned her perception of Chen Chuan.

This seemingly ordinary Junior Brother had hidden himself far too deeply.
