Chapter 39: Born with Divine Strength?:
“Young Master Zhang, I am Li Xun from the South Cloud Kingdom. My father is Li Tianhe, the Protector Duke of South Cloud…”
One of the men, trembling, introduced himself. However, before he could finish, a green sword of light descended from the sky, slicing him in two.
“Playing the self-introduction game with me?”
“I don’t care if you’re the Protector Duke of South Cloud or even if the prince of South Cloud comes, I’ll still kill him!”
Zhang Chengzhi, dressed in black robes, sneered and sheathed his long sword, cursing as he spoke.
“Ah…”
The girl in the pink robes outfit jumped in shock and hid next to the woman in the black veil. Li Xun, who had just been sliced in half, was lying not far from her.
“There are still two more annoying pests. Who should we kill first?”
“Hmm, there’s even a Qi Gathering Realm small fry here…”
Zhang Chengzhi noticed Ye Wuhen and saw that he had no spiritual Qi flowing around him. He couldn’t help but laugh in surprise.
“Cousin, what… what should we do?”
The girl in the pink robes was now thoroughly panicked.
The woman in the black veil’s expression also darkened…
If only she knew what to do!
“Let’s start with this small fry then!”
As Zhang Chengzhi spoke, his long sword glowed with spiritual Qi again. The sword, resembling a green streak of lightning, was aimed at Ye Wuhen’s head.
“It’s over…”
The girl in pink robes' face went pale instantly.
It seemed as though she could already see Ye Wuhen being sliced in half by that sword.
Even Li Xun, who was at the Meridian Refinement Realm, couldn’t withstand Zhang Chengzhi’s strike.
How could someone without even reaching the Meridian Refinement Realm survive?
As for the woman in the black veil, she drew a long sword from her hand, preparing to fight.
Better to risk everything than to be killed individually.
Although there were only five people on her side now…
No, actually four and a half—this guy only counted as half.
Clang!
A sound of metal clashing made everyone present pause in surprise.
When they saw the situation in the field, all eyes went wide with disbelief…
Ye Wuhen had not been sliced in half.
He had caught Zhang Chengzhi’s sword with his bare hands.
The long sword was held above his head, unable to descend any further.
“Impossible!!! How is this possible?”
“Crazy, this kid hasn’t even reached the Meridian Refinement Realm, how did he block Master Zhang’s black sword with his bare hands?”
“I must be seeing things. It can’t be…”
Zhang Chengzhi’s companions stood beside him, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
“Ah… this…”
“This guy is amazing! Cousin… look, he’s incredible!”
The girl in pink robes, who had been frightened to tears moments ago, now jumped with joy, her face beaming with happiness while still wet with tears.
“This…”
The woman in the black veil also looked astonished.
Zhang Chengzhi had reached the middle-stage Meridian Refinement Realm a long time ago. Even if she had used all her strength, catching that sword would have been difficult.
And this person…
Caught it with just his bare hand?
And he looked so relaxed doing it…
...
“Huh? This kid is quite interesting!”
“Is this the legendary divine strength?”
“No wonder he dared to come to the Blood-Stained Forest as a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator…”
“But even if you have divine strength, it’s useless. I only used 30% of my strength just now!”
Zhang Chengzhi felt embarrassed for having his sword caught, tried to cover up.
The others nodded in agreement, believing this explanation…
Zhang Chengzhi thought that since the opponent was only at the Qi Gathering Realm, he had underestimated him and hadn’t used his full strength. The opponent’s so-called divine strength was merely a coincidence, allowing him to block the sword.
Next strike…
Zhang Chengzhi would use his full strength, and this guy would definitely not be able to block it.
...
After covering up, Zhang Chengzhi’s spiritual Qi surged to its peak as he attempted to pull back the sword and continue the attack.
However…
No matter how much spiritual Qi he poured into it, the long sword in his hand remained firmly gripped by Ye Wuhen.
Zhang Chengzhi’s eyes turned bloodshot, his veins bulging.
Yet Ye Wuhen remained calm and composed, as if nothing was happening…
