Chapter 28: You Can’t Play Like This! We Can't Accept It!:
The crimson spear was infused with Zhou Xingyun’s spiritual Qi and moved with an incredible speed.
Screech... Screech...
The sound of the spearhead slicing through the air was sharp and piercing, hurting everyone’s ears.
The distance was only a few steps to begin with.
At such speed, the spear’s tip reached the center of Ye Wuhen’s forehead in an instant.
Everyone was stunned...
It all happened too quickly, and they hadn’t even recovered from the shock of the truth, and the battle had already begun.
Moreover, it was a life-or-death attack from a middle-stage Qi Sea realm expert against a Qi Gathering realm cultivator!
Everyone’s thoughts were reduced to a single sentence: Ye Wuhen is doomed!!!
However, Ye Wuhen himself remained calm.
He even wanted to mock Zhou Xingyun, "The forehead again? Can’t you aim somewhere else to make it more challenging?"
While thinking, Ye Wuhen’s head had already moved from its original position.
He stepped back, and watched Zhou Xingyun’s spear pass within a few centimeters of his face.
It wasn’t that Ye Wuhen’s dodging speed was extraordinarily fast, capable of easily avoiding an attack from a Qi Sea Realm expert.
Rather...
Even before Zhou Xingyun initiated his attack, Ye Wuhen had already known what he was going to do and had prepared himself in advance.
He had experienced such rage-fueled assaults countless times.
From being decapitated dozens of times by Zhou Xingyun's spear to predicting his moves in advance, Ye Wuhen had grown accustomed to it.
...
“He... he dodged it! Though narrowly, he really dodged it!”
“How did he do it? This... this is impossible! I didn’t even have time to react, and he already dodged!”
“Why do I feel like his dodge was faster than Zhou Xingyun’s attack? It’s like he started dodging before Zhou Xingyun even attacked!”
“This is impossible... No matter how extraordinary he is, he can’t predict the future!”
Everyone watched in disbelief as Ye Wuhen dodged Zhou Xingyun’s spear, their minds filled with questions.
It was too incredible to understand.
But the battle continued...
“Hmm???”
Zhou Xingyun felt something was off and hesitated for a moment.
As he thrust his spear, he noticed that Ye Wuhen had already started dodging.
But once the spear was released, there was no turning back. Even if Zhou Xingyun wanted to change his move, it was too late.
“Surprised? Not what you expected?”
“The real surprise is yet to come...”
Ye Wuhen’s voice and Zhou Xingyun’s confusion emerged simultaneously.
Ye Wuhen had once again predicted Zhou Xingyun’s move.
As he spoke, Ye Wuhen tapped his storage bag at his waist, and a handful of small stones appeared in his hand.
Then, with a flick of his fingers, one stone shot through the air, striking Zhou Xingyun’s Shenque Acupoint.
They were so close that even though Zhou Xingyun was a Qi Sea realm expert, he couldn’t avoid it.
“Ah...”
The stone hitting his Shenque Acupoint would have had little effect on an ordinary person.
But for Zhou Xingyun, it was like a lightning strike, leaving him paralyzed and unable to move.
“Thud...”
The second stone followed, hitting Zhou Xingyun’s Qi Acupoint.
“You...”
Zhou Xingyun’s eyes widened, almost popping out.
With his Qihai Acupoint struck, Zhou Xingyun’s body, which had just regained some movement, froze again, shaking uncontrollably.
The third stone...
The fourth stone...
The eighteenth stone...
Eighteen stones, no more, no less, hit Zhou Xingyun’s eighteen acupoints with precision.
In the end, Zhou Xingyun looked like he was being electrocuted, shaking uncontrollably on the spot.
Forget about fighting back, he couldn’t even hold onto his crimson spear, which Ye Wuhen easily took from him.
The onlookers were dumbfounded once more.
What kind of trick was this???
A middle-stage Qi Sea realm expert rendered powerless by Ye Wuhen with just a few stones, as if playing a child’s game???
If Ye Wuhen had suddenly erupted with Qi Sea realm power and killed Zhou Xingyun, people would have been shocked but somewhat accepting.
After all, Ye Wuhen’s monstrous image was deeply ingrained in their minds; another display of extraordinary prowess would be just another surprise.
Many had long suspected he was hiding his true strength.
But playing like this...
They really couldn't accept it!
(T/N: Shenque Acupoint: It is an acupoint located in the umbilicus and connected with the meridians)
