Chapter 100: Chapter 100: One Against Three!
The head sent flying through the air had its eyes wide open. The look of terror mixed with astonishment seemed to suggest it couldn’t believe it had just died like that!
"Two sword strikes to kill an Outer Disciple of the same realm! That’s too powerful!"
"As expected of the first place in the Green Cloud Trial. That sword was so fast I couldn’t even see it clearly."
"The guy must’ve been unprepared! Who would have thought Luo Cheng would strike so suddenly." 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Indeed, he’s just a servant disciple, yet he dared to attack and kill an Outer Disciple outright!"
Everyone present was stunned by the sudden and shocking turn of events.
Servant disciples were barely one foot into the Xuanyuan Sect, and when compared to Outer Disciples, their status was as far apart as the clouds and mud!
No one thought Luo Cheng would dare to act first and attack an Outer Disciple!
"It’s over!"
Yuan Zhilan’s expression changed drastically.
The accusations on Luo Cheng earlier might have been unfounded, but now he’d truly murdered an Outer Disciple! The crime was undeniable!
"Senior Brother Gao!"
Staring at the corpse before him, Lin Hankong was both startled and furious. Pointing at Luo Cheng, he shouted, "How dare you! Not only do you defy orders, but you also kill someone in broad daylight!"
"Seize him! Break his limbs and avenge Gao Lian!"
The other three Outer Disciples were enraged, their killing intent palpable.
As the three closed in, Luo Cheng neither retreated nor evaded. Instead, he coldly declared, "Come at me all at once. No need to waste time one by one!"
Hearing this, those present were in disbelief.
Among the three Outer Disciples, two were at the Fifth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, and one was at the Sixth Layer, having pushed physical transformation to its peak. This meant vigorous vitality, Essence Qi blazing like fire, and the beginning of Divine Transformation, possessing the strength of three Wild Elephants!
A Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm could sweep through all of the same realm!
And yet, Luo Cheng, merely at the Fifth Layer, dared to boast about fighting three at once!
Wasn’t he courting death?
"Does he not even fear a Sixth-Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist?"
On the elevated platform, Elder Qin Mei was astounded.
Elder He, on the other hand, sneered disdainfully. "He’s just struggling in vain before his inevitable death."
At this moment, Elder He felt thoroughly complacent.
This was a battle Luo Cheng was destined to lose, and he would die at the hands of Jin Min’s people, leaving Elder He completely at ease!
"Kid, you’re too arrogant! Killing you won’t take all three of us. I, Chen Yuan, alone am enough!"
With an angry roar, the only swordsman among the three Outer Disciples dashed forward.
This was Chen Yuan, a Fifth-Layer Transcendence Realm cultivator. Sword in hand, he exuded a sharp and unstoppable aura, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
"It’s Senior Brother Chen Yuan! He awakened a Five-star Martial Soul and has been in the sect for only half a year! It’s said his swordsmanship has reached the late stage of techniques. He’s a Sword Dao prodigy, almost unrivaled among those of the same level!"
Someone in the crowd recognized Chen Yuan.
"One sword to kill you! Splitting Shadow Triple Slash!"
With a confident gaze, Chen Yuan looked at Luo Cheng as if he were an ant on the ground. Swinging his longsword fiercely, its terrifying speed produced four residual shadows, making it hard to distinguish the real blade!
"Four-star Sword Technique, Splitting Shadow Sword Technique! Chen Yuan has managed to produce four shadows; his swordsmanship has reached minor mastery!"
"Luo Cheng is doomed!"
Many showed looks of pity, as if they could already see Luo Cheng being torn apart by this sword.
"Heavenly Fall Second Form: Cloud Stabilization!"
Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed like lightning as he met the attack head-on with his own sword, holding nothing back!
He knew this duel was a matter of life and death. Only by demonstrating overwhelming strength could he earn any respect!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...
The Meteor Sword, like an unpredictable floating cloud, plunged into the four sword shadows. In mere moments, dozens of clashes erupted!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a miserable cry echoed across the square.
Everyone turned their eyes toward the scene.
Chen Yuan was clutching his throat with both hands, staggering backward. With every step he took, blood gushed through his fingers.
"Im...possible..."
Staring at Luo Cheng, his eyes burned with disbelief. Spitting out these final words, Chen Yuan collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
"What happened!"
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
The majority had only seen Luo Cheng draw his sword, and then Chen Yuan was dead. They hadn’t seen what truly occurred.
Only the more perceptive elders understood the reason.
"Sword Heart Realm! And already near the mid-stage of it! His sword moves with his heart. The gap in their swordsmanship was far too vast!"
Qin Mei’s beautiful eyes remained fixed on Luo Cheng, unable to mask her astonishment.
"Mid-stage Sword Heart Realm! For a Fifth-Layer Transcendence Realm cultivator, how could his swordsmanship reach such heights?"
"No wonder he left everyone in his dust during the Green Cloud Trial. Though he awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, his Sword Dao talent is exceptional!"
The other elders were just as shocked.
Even swordsmen at the Third Stage of the Tongxuan Realm struggled to reach the Sword Heart Realm.
At his age, Luo Cheng was already at its mid-stage!
"How could it be! A trash who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, how has he become so strong!"
Lin Hankong was equally staggered, his eyes filled with deep jealousy as he whispered to the blue-garbed knife-wielding youth at his side:
"Brother Sha, we can’t let him act so recklessly anymore! If we don’t kill this brat today, and he makes it into the Outer Sect, the consequences will be endless! Even Brother Jin Min wouldn’t want to see this."
The knife-wielding youth, called Sha Qi, was the strongest among them. Casting a cold glance at Luo Cheng, he nodded slightly:
"Don’t worry. He won’t survive today. Brother Ye, lend me a hand in killing him!"
"Understood!"
Another Outer Disciple responded and stepped forward.
Standing five steps ahead of Luo Cheng, Sha Qi spoke indifferently:
"You are strong. If you broke through to the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, I might not be your match. Unfortunately, you will never have that chance!"
Holding his sword, Luo Cheng stood tall like an unsheathed treasure blade, sneering:
"Come on, all of you will die today!"
Sha Qi shook his head, his eyes suddenly flashing with killing intent. "Kill!"
"Breaking Wave Cloud Slash!"
"Furious Tiger Fist!"
Sha Qi and Brother Ye attacked simultaneously, combining two Ultimate Skills to strike at Luo Cheng.
"Heavenly Fall Second Form: Cloud Stabilization!"
Confronting a Sixth-Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist, Luo Cheng dared not slack off and unleashed the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique once again.
Boom!
A deafening explosion reverberated as terrifying shockwaves erupted between the three.
From within the swirling dust, the three figures were blasted apart.
Luo Cheng and Sha Qi each stumbled back six or seven steps. Only Brother Ye reeled back over ten steps before halting, blood dripping from the corner of his lips.
"My god! He held his ground against a combined strike from Sixth-Layer Transcendence Realm fighters!"
"This is insane! Is he really just a Fifth-Layer cultivator?"
Once again, everyone’s nerves, already numbed from shock, were fiercely hammered back to life by this scene.
Luo Cheng frowned slightly. A Sixth-Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist truly wasn’t to be taken lightly!
"You’ll be the first to die!"
Fixing his gaze on Brother Ye, Luo Cheng shot forward without hesitation.
"Brother Sha, save me!"
Brother Ye’s face turned pale with fright as Luo Cheng lunged closer.
"Not on my watch!"
Sha Qi roared in anger, storming forward with a ferocious blade strike aimed directly at Luo Cheng.
Clang!
The Meteor Sword flicked against the blade as Luo Cheng diverted the attack, accelerating toward Brother Ye.
"Die! Shaking Mountain!"
While midair, Luo Cheng unleashed a devastating punch.
"Ah! I’ll fight you to the death!"
With no chance to evade, Brother Ye pushed his Martial Soul to its limits, countering with a desperate full-strength punch in a bid for survival!
Bang!
A dull sound echoed, the enraged roar cut off abruptly.
Half of Brother Ye’s body was obliterated in the impact, staining the ground with a massive pool of blood!
