Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Everyone is an Ant Underneath Tongxuan!
As soon as Luo Cheng spoke, the area fell into sudden silence.
Even the Black Qilin Army, who typically maintained stoic expressions, showed a hint of playfulness in their eyes.
Li Yun’s face turned gloomy for a moment, then quickly shifted to a mocking sneer as he stared at Luo Cheng, as if looking at a fool.
If Luo Cheng were a Martial Artist at the halfway to Tongxuan Realm, or even a Sixth Layer of Transcendence Realm, Li Yun would have been furious and ready to kill!
But he was merely a Fifth Layer of Transcendence Realm Martial Artist!
A mere Fifth Layer cultivation, yet he dared to boast about annihilating every one of them!
There probably isn’t a more ridiculous joke in the world!
"Turns out he really is an idiot!"
Li Yun smirked and said to the burly man next to him, "Captain Lu, I’m going to train first; leave this guy to you."
Captain Lu nodded and instructed the four men in black beside him, "The four of you attack together. Be careful, don’t let him escape!"
"Yes!"
The four members of the Black Qilin Army followed orders, forming a semicircular battle formation, closing in on Luo Cheng and blocking all his escape routes.
"Kid, you’re seeking your own death. In your next life, open your eyes wider!"
"Kill!"
The four formed a battle formation and simultaneously moved in to kill Luo Cheng.
All four were battle-hardened Black Qilin Army members, working seamlessly, merging attack and kill, their combined killing aura spreading immediately, the momentum terrifying!
"You’re the ones who should open your eyes."
Luo Cheng didn’t retreat; instead, he advanced to meet them, sweeping out with his leg.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Just like a heavy hammer striking a drum, the four Black Qilin Army members spewed large mouthfuls of blood skyward, their bodies flying back with several times the speed they came, crashing heavily to the ground, bright red blood flowing from the gaps in their Black Scale Armor—all dead!
"What!"
Captain Lu, along with the other Black Qilin Army members present, were in shock.
They were the famed Black Qilin Army of the Great Chu Dynasty!
The four all had cultivation at the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm. Together, killing a Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist should have been easy, yet they were wiped out so effortlessly with a single kick!
All of this was utterly bizarre!
Li Yun, who intended to leave, stopped in his tracks.
Seeing the four horribly twisted bodies on the ground, Li Yun’s face turned completely dark, looking at Luo Cheng seriously for the first time, his expression grave as he said:
"I didn’t expect I underestimated you; you have some skill. But it changes nothing, today you will surely die!"
"Moreover, since you killed my people, I won’t let you die easily; I will tear off your limbs and pin you on a rock, making death a wish you cannot attain!"
Li Yun advanced step by step, his words ominous.
"Just you?"
Facing Li Yun’s sinister and terrifying words, Luo Cheng’s face remained unfazed.
Up to now, he had never fought with his full strength.
Even when confronting top experts like the Lin brothers at the Sixth Layer of Transcendence, he only used thirty to forty percent of his strength to instantly kill them!
With his current power of ninety-nine thousand pounds, combined with a high-level Sword Heart and utilizing his Essence Energy, Luo Cheng himself couldn’t estimate his true combat power reached.
Could he easily defeat a halfway to Tongxuan expert?
Or perhaps even instantly kill them!
Whatever the case, the answer was about to be revealed!
Li Yun’s brows twitched; even a fool could hear the mockery in his opponent’s voice. He immediately sneered:
"People say us disciples of the Extreme Dao Sect are arrogant and consider everyone beneath us, but you surpass us by far!"
"I admit your strength is impressive, to be able to instantly kill four Black Qilin Army members at the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm. But that’s all. Do you really think, with your mere Fifth Layer Transcendence cultivation, you can defeat me?"
"Have you ever heard the saying: beneath Tongxuan, all are ants! This applies even to those halfway to Tongxuan!"
"A Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist dreaming of defeating a halfway to Tongxuan Warrior is pure fantasy! Such a person doesn’t exist in the entire Yunlan Domain Group, no! In the entire Eastern Continent!"
Li Yun sneered repeatedly.
Martial Artists halfway to Tongxuan had already begun refining Essence Energy!
With the support of Essence Energy, their attack and defense are several times that of ordinary Transcendence Realm Martial Artists, a qualitative leap!
He could kill a Sixth Layer Transcendence Martial Artist as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs! Let alone a Fifth Layer Transcendence Martial Artist!
"Whether they exist or not, there will soon be a result."
Luo Cheng shook his head calmly, looking at Li Yun, and continued, "I have a question—why did you slaughter those innocent villagers?"
Li Yun flicked his fingers, saying indifferently:
"For no reason, just using them to refine my Tu Yuan Blood Hand. It was unfortunate that ordinary people’s vitality was too weak and had little effect. I had to slaughter more villages to lure your sect’s disciples here. Now it seems the effect is not bad!"
"Is that so..."
Luo Cheng’s mind flashed with images of the mother and daughter with their hearts dug out, brutally murdered at the village entrance. He let out a deep breath.
Li Yun, noticing Luo Cheng’s expression, smiled and said, "In this world where the strong are respected, ordinary lives are like weeds, one less means nothing. They are proud to aid my cultivation!"
"What, do you want to avenge them? A pity, alas, you lack the strength and will lose your life here as well."
Listening to Li Yun’s taunting words, Luo Cheng displayed no emotion on his face, but an unnamed rage surged within him, growing stronger.
Ants here, ants there!
Such an attitude is so similar to the scene when the Ji Family’s people came, loftily dictating life and death with a word!
If not for his fortunate encounters, wouldn’t his fate also be trampled by these people?
Clang!
Luo Cheng unsheathed the Meteor Sword, staring at Li Yun, an astonishing sharpness flashing in his eyes,
"Within three moves, I’ll take your damned life!"
Li Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly, sneering coldly, "Ha ha, still dare to boast wildly! Rest assured, in my hands, you’ll find it hard to die!"
Whoosh!
The moment the sound echoed, Li Yun stepped forward, leaping towards Luo Cheng, unleashing a fierce palm strike from mid-air.
Facing only a mere Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist, Li Yun didn’t even bother using Martial Arts. This strike lacked any technique, relying purely on physical strength.
Li Yun confidently believed this alone was sufficient to defeat Luo Cheng!
Luo Cheng intended to test his own strength and similarly refrained from using Martial Arts, gripping his left hand into a fist, striking out simply.
"Ignorant fool!"
Seeing Luo Cheng intending to clash with physical force, a cruel smile appeared in Li Yun’s eyes.
As a Martial Artist halfway to Tongxuan, his body was nearly at the extreme of the Transcendence Realm, his strength close to ninety thousand pounds!
Several times that of a Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artist!
Li Yun even envisioned Luo Cheng being shattered into pieces by his palm, with internal organs and blood splattering all over!
Boom!
In an instant, fist and palm collided fiercely.
The smile on Li Yun’s face froze for a moment as he felt an overwhelming and domineering fist force crashing through his palm, unstoppable!
At that moment, Li Yun even felt that what crashed into him was not just a fist, but a mountain, a terrifying mountain crashing over at high speed!
