As the will of a civilized society, Zhang Xuan had always been reluctant to make a move.
However, from the looks of it now, that move wouldn't work!
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to stand on ceremony.
Isn't your Lin Clan powerful?
Isn't Tianwu Kingdom a force to be reckoned with?
Since that's the case, I'll beat you into submission, I'll beat you until you know...
There is another kind of person in this world... that you can't afford to offend!
"Zongshi realm pinnacle?"
"Guild Leader Liu is actually a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert?"
"It's no wonder... He dares to stand against the Lin Clan and cripple Lin Hu. With such strength, he does have the right to be arrogant!"
...
Sensing the aura emanating from him, everyone shuddered.
It turned out that the Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator they saw previously was just a facade. His true strength was that of a Zongshi realm pinnacle!
With such strength, he could definitely be ranked in the top ranks even in Tianwu Kingdom!
"He... He..."
Mo Yu's eyeballs were about to pop out from her eye sockets.
Others didn't know of Guild Leader Liu's identity, so they weren't too shocked. After all, to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle at twenty-four to twenty-five years old, even if he was a genius, it wasn't a feat that left everyone dumbfounded!
But... she knew the other party's identity.
Zhang Xuan!
He had just reached Zongshi realm a few days ago, and in just a short six to seven days, he had already reached Zongshi realm pinnacle?
Every small realm in Zongshi realm required a huge amount of time. Even a genius would need several years to advance from primary stage to pinnacle. A few days...
She felt like she was in a trance and was about to go crazy.
More importantly... he was a 3-star apothecary, physician, painter, 2-star beast tamer, and 2-star master teacher...
She thought that the weakest thing about him was his cultivation, but to think that he would be so formidable as well... Mo Yu felt as though she was going insane.
It was no wonder why the other party didn't think highly of her. With his cultivation and talent... The world that he faced must be vast. It was normal for him to look down on her.
"Liu laoshi... is at Zongshi realm pinnacle? He's even more formidable than Miss Zhang? "Zhao Ya and the others stared at one another.
Back then, when the other party broke her sword with a single finger, she knew that the other party wasn't weak. However, she didn't expect him to be so fearsome.
Zhang Shi was only at Zongshi realm primary stage, but he was at Zongshi realm pinnacle...
To be even more formidable than Zhang Shi. It was no wonder why Mu Xueqing and the others were protecting him.
...
"Zongshi realm pinnacle? To have such strength at such a young age, you are indeed not weak. However, it is not enough for you to be arrogant. Patriarch, please allow me to kill him! "
When Zhang Xuan revealed his strength, everyone from the Lin Clan was stunned. An old man walked up with large strides. His eyes were as sharp as knives and as cold as frost.
"It's the Second Elder of the Lin Clan, Lin Xie!"
"A Zongshi realm pinnacle expert, just a step away from reaching Half-Zhizun!"
"Ranked fourth among the top ten martial artists in the kingdom!"
"With him making a move, Liu laoshi is probably in trouble..."
…
Everyone's pupils shrank again.
Although Lin Hu was powerful, compared to the Kingdom's Top Ten Martial Artists, he was still far from it.
These ten people stood out from the countless Zongshi realm pinnacle experts, and they could be considered to be standing at the very top... Furthermore, this person was ranked fourth among them!
His strength could no longer be described as terrifying.
Putting everything else aside, even the Third Elder, who had been turned into a eunuch by Zhang Xuan with a single kick, paled in comparison.
"Alright, be careful!"
Lin Ruotian nodded.
As the clan head of the Lin Clan, he had to maintain his own standing and authority. Liu Cheng wasn't weak, but he was still a far way off from making a move.
But of course, by having the Second Elder make a move, he could make use of this opportunity to see what kind of trump cards the other party had up his sleeves.
"Don't worry, it's a piece of cake!"
Waving his hands grandly, Second Elder Lin Xie walked up to Zhang Xuan and said haughtily, "Lad, make your move. I would like to see what kind of capability you have to dare to make a move on a member of our Lin Clan!"
"You?"
Unfazed by the provocation, Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "You won't be able to deal with me alone. It's best if the both of you come at me together!"
Since he was here to stand up for Lu Chong, and he had even revealed his cultivation, he couldn't be bothered to hide it anymore.
No Zongshi realm pinnacle expert was a match for him. No matter how formidable the Second Elder was, he wouldn't be a match for him.
"If you want us to come at you together, we'll have to see if you can get past me first..."
Not expecting that he, the fourth ranked expert of the kingdom, would be looked down on by the other party, Lin Xie's complexion turned awful. Without any hesitation, he raised his palm and struck it down.
"That's Elder Lin Xie's strongest move, [Great Split Palm]!"
"There are many experts who have fallen to this move. To think that he would use it right from the start!"
"Even if he doesn't use it, he has no choice. Guild Leader Liu must have felt pressured after defeating Elder Lin Hu in a single move, that's why he decided to use his strongest move!"
"Let's see how Guild Leader Liu deals with him now..."
…
Upon seeing Elder Lin Xie's attack, everyone's expression turned grim.
Although Lin Hu was quite strong, compared to Lin Xie, he was still a far cry from Lin Xie's strength.
Putting aside Guild Leader Liu, even the first and second ranked Mo Tianxue and Emperor Mo Hongyi would have to tread carefully in the face of such an expert without the slightest intention of underestimating his opponent.
"Even though Elder Lin Xie is famous for his [Great Split Palm], that move is just a feint. His more formidable move is [Consecutive Soul Kicks]!"
By the side, Mo Tianxue said with a grim expression.
"Consecutive Soul Kicks?" Mo Yu was taken aback.
"That's right. The Great Split Palm is an attack from above, and it exerts immense pressure on the surroundings, forcing one to guard against it. Even though it looks ferocious on the surface, it's actually a move to conceal one's lower body!"
Mo Tianxue explained. "It's a series of vicious moves. Back then, when I sparred with him, I nearly fell for it!"
On the other hand, the Great Split Palm was an attack from above whereas the Consecutive Soul Kicks was an attack from below. The former exerted its might to conceal the latter's movements.
If one wasn't prepared or aware of it beforehand, it would be difficult to guard against it even if one was stronger than the other party.
"Then … doesn't that mean that Guild Leader Liu is in danger?"
Mo Yu furrowed her brows and revealed an anxious expression.
Her father was ranked first among the Ten Great Experts of the kingdom, and even he nearly fell for it. Didn't that mean that Zhang Xuan was in danger? (The Ten Great Experts of the kingdom are only ranked at Zongshi realm pinnacle. Lin Ruotian, who has reached Half-Zhizun realm, isn't on this list.)
"He's in danger, but it'll depend on whether he can react in time and guard against it. However, in my opinion, it'll be difficult! This move isn't easy to guard against... The heck! "
Recalling how fearsome this move was, Mo Tianxue shook his head. He didn't think that Guild Leader Liu would be able to dodge it. However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze, and he nearly went insane on the spot. "This... What is going on?"
Mo Yu also hurriedly turned her gaze over, and with a single glance, she froze on the spot as well.
Before Elder Lin Xie's ferocious Great Palm Strike could reach Zhang Xuan, he was already sent flying by a kick. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, twitching uncontrollably. His fate … was exactly the same as that of the Third Elder …
A certain part of his body... exploded!
With a single kick... it exploded! There wasn't even room for him to dodge...
How in the world did he do it?
One must know that the other party was ranked fourth among the Zongshi realm pinnacle experts in the kingdom!
Upon seeing this sight, the crowd felt a cold gust of wind behind their backs, and cold sweat trickled down their backs.
They had clearly heard the sound of an egg shattering a moment ago. Most probably, this renowned Elder Lin Xie was crippled... He would never be able to use his strength again!
"I told you that you can't do it, but you just wouldn't listen..."
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The other party's Great Split Palm followed by his leg was an incomparably treacherous move. If it had been anyone else, it would have been impossible for them to dodge it. However, Zhang Xuan possessed the Eye of Insight, so he had already seen through the other party's movements.
Putting aside the fact that Zhang Xuan was weaker than the other party in the first place, even if they were on par, how could Zhang Xuan have foreseen the other party's movements?
"This is... Heaven's Path Leg Art?"
Wang Ying was taken aback.
Back then, when her teacher imparted her a leg art, he had asked her to name it. However, she didn't dare to do so, choosing to call it Heaven's Path Leg Art instead.
This leg art was created by her teacher, and he only imparted it to her. Why would Liu laoshi know how to use it?
"What's wrong, Wang Ying? What did you say? "
Hearing her mutterings, Zhao Ya turned to look at her.
"N-nothing much..."
With a reddened face, Wang Ying hurriedly shook her head.
Liu laoshi's movement was simply too fast. She had only seen it from a glance, so she wasn't too sure... Upon hearing Zhao Ya's question, she immediately fell silent.
"Since none of you are willing to make a move together, I'll make a move myself then..."
Seeing that everyone was intimidated by his move, Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly and dived into the crowd.
Her speed was so fast that it seemed as though she was teleporting. Before the elders could see her clearly, she was already right before them.
Peng peng peng peng!
The sound of fists sinking into flesh and palms striking faces echoed in the air. Following which, cries of agony sounded.
Before Lin Ruotian could react, the dozen or so elders beside him were sent flying simultaneously. Some were lying on the ground, some were convulsing, and none of them were able to stand up.
"Heaven's Path... Movement Art?"
Seeing Liu laoshi's movements clearly, Wang Ying's breathing hastened, and her face reddened.
If she couldn't be certain of the Heaven's Path Leg Art, then this movement art was definitely the Heaven's Path Movement Art!
Why would this Liu laoshi... know the Heaven's Path Movement Art created by Zhang Shi?
Could it be...
Thinking of a possibility, Wang Ying's body trembled, and her face paled.
After Miss Zhang's trial... Liu laoshi appeared!
Ever since Liu laoshi appeared, Miss Zhang had never seen him again...
All along, she thought that Mingshi Tang was right, that Liu laoshi must have gone to undergo some kind of trial... Could it be that he became Liu laoshi and went to Tianwu Academy to teach?
If that was the case... Mu Xueqing was his student as well?
Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing's duel...
It was no wonder why he stopped the both of them from sparring that day and said that they were messing around. He must have been displeased to see us fighting... He wasn't bullying us as a teacher!
Her body turned cold.
"Poison..."
Thinking of this, she recalled how they ran over together with Yuan Tao and the others to poison Zhang Xuan. Her face twitched, and she was on the verge of tears.
If this Liu laoshi was really Miss Zhang, they actually ran over to poison Zhang Xuan...
This was unforgivable!
What in the world was this...
To think that they would run over to poison Miss Zhang with Yuan Tao and the others...
It was a wonder if she was poisoned. If she was really poisoned, how could she face their teacher?
Their teacher was devoted to them, and yet, they were thinking of ways to kill him...
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's face turning red and white, Zhao Ya asked once more.
"It's nothing..."
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to voice out his conjecture, Wang Ying hesitated for a moment before closing his mouth.
If he were to say it out loud, what would happen to Zhao Ya, Yuan Tao, and the others? How could he face them?
For a moment, he was at a complete loss.
"Teacher..."
While Wang Ying was at a loss, Lu Chong, who was standing behind Zhang Xuan, widened his eyes in shock. He was on the verge of going insane.
When he saw his teacher shatter the Third Elder with a single kick, he knew that the other party was formidable, at the very least, stronger than him...
But never in his dreams did he expect the other party to be so formidable!
In less than two breaths, he was able to defeat more than a dozen elders of the Lin Clan, their fates unknown...
How in the world did he do it?
Even a Half-Zhizun shouldn't have been able to do so!
If only he knew that the other party was so formidable, he wouldn't have bothered with the Lin Clan at all... He would have said it long ago!
"Y-you..."
While Lu Chong was shocked beyond belief, Lin Ruotian was on the verge of going insane.
The reason why the Lin Clan was able to dominate Tianwu Royal City wasn't just because of him. More importantly, it was because of these elders!
Initially, he thought that since the other party was only a Zongshi realm pinnacle cultivator, they would be able to deal with him even without him making a move. Yet, in the blink of an eye, all of the elders he had brought with him were lying on the ground, crippled, and injured...
Are you for real?
"Liu Cheng, die!"
Roaring furiously, Lin Ruotian couldn't hold himself back any longer. Raising his palm, he struck down on Zhang Xuan.
