Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Blasting to Shreds!
"Heh, such bold words! What, you dare to make a move here?"
Hearing Luo Cheng’s icy tone, Cheng Lin remained unafraid, his gloomy gaze tinged with a mocking smile.
Although he wasn’t Luo Cheng’s match, the four people beside him were no mere pushovers.
Two of them had reached Refining Essence Energy, half-step Tongxuan level, their strength not much inferior to Jiang Xinglie’s.
Ren Qian was even at the Mid-stage of the First Layer of Tongxuan Realm, having awakened a Six-star Martial Soul, his combat prowess unparalleled!
With these individuals present, Luo Cheng’s physical strength was irrelevant; if he dared to act, he would surely be crushed to smithereens!
"Cheng Lin, there’s no need to waste words with him. Daring to act arrogantly before us, let’s teach him a lesson first!"
"Exactly. A bit of petty strength and he doesn’t know his place! Let him come in standing and leave lying!"
The other disciples stared at Luo Cheng, their killing intent palpable.
As members of the Crown Prince Hall, they had never been so openly threatened or provoked before.
Ren Qian twirled his teacup, faint golden radiance flowing around him. He stared at Luo Cheng with amusement and said:
"Boy, you and Brother Yan already have an arranged duel. Today, I’ll give you a way out. Kneel now and apologize, and I’ll let you go."
If he could, Ren Qian would have loved to teach Luo Cheng a lesson right now.
But after careful consideration, he felt it wouldn’t be appropriate.
Luo Cheng and Yan Qi had a life-and-death duel set in advance. For him to act now would surely invite gossip.
Anyway, Luo Cheng’s death was inevitable, so there was no rush. A bit of humiliation would suffice!
Luo Cheng was completely unshaken by their oppressive aura. His expression remained indifferent as he said calmly:
"I’ll give you all an opportunity as well. Break Gu Lingfeng’s legs now, and then all of you cripple your own legs, and I’ll spare you this once!"
"Arrogant!"
"Unbelievable! Senior Brother Ren, we must discipline this brat today!"
Hearing Luo Cheng’s words, everyone’s anger surged uncontrollably.
In terms of talent, they had awakened Intermediate Martial Souls!
In terms of status, they were members of the Crown Prince Hall!
Yet they were being humiliated and provoked by a nobody!
BANG!
The teacup in Ren Qian’s hand shattered. He let out a cold laugh, stood, and looked at Luo Cheng with such frosty malice that it seemed to solidify:
"You want us to cripple our own legs? Boy, you clearly don’t shed tears without seeing the coffin! It seems I don’t have to wait half a month. Today, I’ll show you the consequence of offending the Crown Prince Hall!"
BOOM!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Qian’s Essence Energy surged to the peak. The intense golden energy made him seem as though he were clad in a golden battle armor. His overwhelming aura stirred up a whirlwind within the courtyard!
The air grew turbulent as the clash was about to erupt.
A crisp voice interrupted.
"Ren Qian, as a martial artist of the Tongxuan Realm, you find it honorable to bully someone in the Transcendence Realm? Do you think your higher cultivation gives you free rein?"
Chen Lingyu strolled in with a calm expression, twirling a strand of her hair, her lips curved in a faint smile.
"Chen Lingyu!"
Ren Qian’s eyes darkened as he stared at Chen Lingyu, a deep wariness evident in his gaze, his tone cold:
"This is a matter between the Crown Prince Hall and Luo Cheng! It has nothing to do with you! If you intend to fight, I’ll inform my eldest brother!"
Hearing this, Chen Lingyu’s brows knitted slightly.
Months ago, she had fought Ren Qian’s elder brother, Ren Xiaoguang, but narrowly lost, which had prompted her to close off and train for three months.
With a cold snort, Chen Lingyu replied, "Don’t think bringing up your brother can suppress me. When the Outer Sect Tournament arrives, I’ll naturally settle accounts with him! Luo Cheng is my junior apprentice brother, his matters are mine."
Seeing her resolute stance, Ren Qian’s brows furrowed deeply.
Chen Lingyu was a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer expert—he was no match for her!
Yet letting Luo Cheng off so easily left him utterly unwilling.
At this moment.
"Senior Sister, your intervention isn’t necessary."
Luo Cheng stepped forward.
Chen Lingyu frowned slightly in exasperation. "Junior Brother, this is not the time to act impulsively!"
"Don’t worry."
With a sweeping glance at Ren Qian and his group, Luo Cheng said indifferently, "These people are no threat to me."
With that, Luo Cheng began walking toward them, his tone glacial:
"Since none of you are willing to cripple yourselves, I’ll have to do it myself. However, if I take action, you’ll have to pay the price. I’ll break all your arms and legs!"
Rage burned fiercely in Luo Cheng’s heart, but his mind was crystal clear. He knew he couldn’t kill them in the sect, so he would make them pay the heaviest price possible!
"What!"
Ren Qian and the others’ faces immediately shifted upon hearing his words.
They had encountered arrogant people before, but someone like Luo Cheng—whose cultivation was clearly far lower and yet dared to flaunt such audacity—was a first!
"Boastful fool! Let’s see how you break our limbs today!"
"Everyone, attack and cripple him!"
Three of the outer disciples, unable to restrain their fury, leapt out, charging toward Luo Cheng together.
Among the three, two were at the Half-step Tongxuan level, while the last was at the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The trio, wary of underestimating Luo Cheng, unleashed their full strength. Their combined assault tore through the air with explosive force, creating violent ripples!
Chen Lingyu’s eyes showed traces of worry.
The united strike of the three was no small matter. Even a Half-step Tongxuan martial artist struck head-on would be gravely injured, if not killed!
As Chen Lingyu debated intervening, Luo Cheng made his move.
"Reckless fools!"
Luo Cheng ignored the incoming attacks, his gaze sharp as a blade. Without hesitation, he slapped out with his palm.
BANG! BANG!
In an instant, the trio’s offensive crumbled. The first two were struck directly on the face, sent flying backward as if struck by lightning, blood spurting from their mouths mid-air!
"What!"
The third—a square-faced youth—was struck by shock. Galloping fear coursed through him as he turned to flee.
"Trying to run?"
With a casual step forward, Luo Cheng’s body appeared before him in a flash.
"Damn it, I’ll fight you to the death! Chaotic Cloud Palm!"
The youth, at the Half-step Tongxuan level, seeing no escape, gritted his teeth and unleashed his strongest martial art, slamming his palm viciously toward Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng barely spared it a glance. Extending his right hand, he grabbed the youth’s palm effortlessly. Like holding a rag, he smashed him down hard.
With a resounding crash, the ground cracked open, and the square-faced youth, bleeding profusely from his nose and mouth, saw stars.
The next second, an excruciating pain erupted from his legs!
CRACK! CRACK!
With two merciless stomps, Luo Cheng shattered the youth’s legs.
"Argh! Argh! Damn it, I’ll kill you!"
The intense agony and blind fury contorted the youth’s features as he roared at Luo Cheng.
"Oh, really?"
Luo Cheng sneered and promptly stomped again, breaking both his arms this time!
"AAAAHH!"
The youth’s eyes widened in rage, and he spat out blood before falling unconscious.
Luo Cheng gave no time for the others to react. Activating Mist Shadow Step, he appeared beside the other two in a flash. Using the same ruthless method, he broke all their arms and legs as well!
"AAAAHHHH..."
Wails of misery echoed throughout the courtyard.
*Gasp!*
Chen Lingyu inhaled sharply, staring at Luo Cheng in utter disbelief.
She had known Luo Cheng was powerful but hadn’t imagined him to be this strong.
Two Half-step Tongxuan martial artists and a Sixth Layer peak Transcendence martial artist had been instantly defeated, their resistance utterly meaningless!
And this decisive, merciless demeanor—where did he resemble a mere fourteen-year-old boy?
Even seasoned martial veterans paled in comparison!
"Boy, how dare you harm people so brutally in my presence!"
A thunderous voice boomed across the courtyard.
