Chapter 503: Chapter 179: 70% Sword Intent Eruption!

“The assassination list… Heh, Fierce Cloud Sect really thinks highly of me.”

Hearing the pale youth’s words, Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised.

The grudges between the Xuanyuan Sect and Fierce Cloud Sect have lasted for hundreds of years, already reaching a point of utter irreconcilability. Open and covert battles are extremely fierce!

To weaken each other’s strength, both sects frequently assassinated talented geniuses from the opposing sect!

However, such actions remained concealed from plain sight, usually targeting only the topmost talents.

Luo Cheng never thought that he would one day have the “honor” of being on this list.

The pale youth said indifferently, “With your potential, you don’t even qualify to be on the assassination list. It’s unfortunate—you made the critical mistake of repeatedly provoking my Fierce Cloud Sect! During the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, you killed so many of our Fierce Cloud Sect disciples, fine. But you even crippled our disciples in the Imperial City, shaming our sect!”

“From that day forward, your death was inevitable!”

The burly youth pressed the hilt of the long blade at his waist, grinning widely:

“Surrender now! We’ll leave your corpse whole! Otherwise, I’ll show you what it means to be cut into ten thousand pieces!”

In their eyes, Luo Cheng was already a dead man walking.

“I really don’t want to kill anyone today…”

Luo Cheng shook his head, sighed lightly, and swept his gaze across the two, saying:

“While I’ve not yet changed my mind, you better leave! Don’t throw your lives away in vain.”

“Haha! Facing death, you still dare to talk big!”

The burly youth laughed heartily, drawing his long blade. Its dazzling edge pointed straight at Luo Cheng: “Do you think your bluff can scare us? What wishful thinking! You’ll die today for sure!”

He was at the peak of the Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm, capable of even challenging Seventh-Level powerhouses. Why would he fear Luo Cheng?

“Junior Brother Li, stop wasting words with him. Kill him quickly, and let’s head to Bixiu City. Oh right, Elder Ren Kui lost an arm because of him. If you bring his severed head to Elder Ren Kui, it’ll be a great achievement.”

The pale youth stood aside, observing from a safe distance. He felt no need to personally step in.

“I gave you the opportunity. Since you don’t want it, I’ll have to personally send you both on your way.”

Luo Cheng shook his head. His voice remained calm, but his demeanor transformed, killing intent surging out.

“Still pretending? Seeking death!”

The burly youth exploded in rage. Taking one big step, he appeared above the mountain peak, slashing downward with a waterfall-like blade glow. It tore through the air, ferociously aiming to kill Luo Cheng.

Boom!

An intense burst of Essence Energy erupted from Luo Cheng’s body. His hands, glowing with Essence Energy, reached out bare-handed toward the incoming blade glow without drawing his sword.

Bang!

The glowing blade was caught in Luo Cheng’s grasp. With a mere squeeze of his five fingers, the blade shattered instantly.

“What?!”

Seeing this, the burly youth’s expression changed drastically, fear spreading through his heart.

Even though he hadn’t used his full strength in that strike, it carried sixty to seventy percent of his power—enough to overwhelm an ordinary Sixth-Level Awakening Vein Realm cultivator. Yet Luo Cheng had effortlessly destroyed it!

Swish!

Luo Cheng’s figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the burly youth.

“Damn it! Get out of my way!”

Feeling alarmed, the burly youth immediately activated his Protective Essence Energy and swung his blade wildly at Luo Cheng, attempting to force him back.

Luo Cheng was unfazed. The Essence Energy around his body surged, his skin glowing faintly gold as he punched forward.

His fist tore through the air, emitting a symphony of thunder and the roar of massive waves!

Boom!

The burly youth’s long blade was sent flying, and before he could even react, Luo Cheng’s fist smashed directly into him.

With a thundering explosion, blood splattered everywhere as the burly youth’s body was torn to pieces, scattering across the area, leaving no chance for survival!

“Junior Brother Li!”

The pale youth’s face twisted in shock and horror.

This all happened in the blink of an eye, giving him no time to intervene!

“Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm! How is this possible?!”

Feeling the aura emanating from Luo Cheng, the pale youth’s expression dramatically changed, his eyes filled with incomparable shock.

It had been less than half a year since the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!

And yet Luo Cheng had already ascended to the Sixth Level of Awakening Vein Realm, effortlessly slaughtering a Sixth-Level Peak expert with a barehanded strike!

What kind of progress was this?

Even Hua Jingyang, who had awakened a Ten-star Spirit Martial Soul, couldn’t achieve this!

“I told you to leave, but you insisted on courting death.”

After killing one of them, Luo Cheng clapped his hands nonchalantly and turned to look at the pale youth. “Where is that Ren Kui?”

The Fierce Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect Great Elder, Ren Kui, and Sun Yingyang had conspired to harm Luo Cheng’s family. Although their plan had been thwarted with Sun Yingyang’s death, Luo Cheng hadn’t forgotten about it.

Ren Kui was on Luo Cheng’s personal kill list!

While Luo Cheng previously wasn’t Ren Kui’s match, his cultivation and Sword Intent had since skyrocketed. He now felt confident he could contend against an Eighth-Layer Awakening Vein Realm powerhouse.

Whether he was right or wrong would soon be proven!

“Kid, why do you care about Elder Ren Kui? Do you think you’ll leave here alive today?”

The pale youth’s face turned cold. As he spoke, blazing Flame Essence Energy erupted from his body, and he lashed out with a powerful palm strike.

The air trembled as the overwhelming palm strike displaced the surrounding atmosphere. Its blazing intensity, like a towering mountain, exerted a suffocating pressure.

“Not talking? Then I’ll beat it out of you!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes turned icy as he punched forward. His fist roared like a golden dragon, obliterating the searing palm strike.

Crack! The energy surged wildly. The towering, fiery palm dimmed instantly before shattering outright!

The pale youth’s pupils contracted, utterly disbelieving this turn of events.

A mid-stage Awakening Vein Realm expert and a late-stage Awakening Vein Realm expert had a vast gap in strength, but the opponent had easily withstood his attack.

Was this really just a Sixth-Layer Awakening Vein Realm cultivator in the early stage?

Swish!

Without wasting words, Luo Cheng’s figure blurred, closing in on the pale youth with immense speed. He unleashed another punch, brimming with unstoppable power. The force shook the void as if a cauldron had been struck.

The pale youth’s expression drastically changed. He had never felt such pressure from a mid-stage Awakening Vein Realm cultivator before!

It was as if he were facing an equally strong opponent. With no room to hesitate, he immediately released his Martial Soul!

Boom!

A flaming Martial Soul adorned with seven stars burst into the sky. His aura soared dramatically, exuding a tempestuous, mountainous ferocity.

“You overconfident brat, die! Flame Shadow Hundred Extreme Kill!”

With a furious shout, the pale youth’s eyes turned cold. His palms drew circles in front of him before striking out powerfully.

Rumble after rumble echoed as endless torrents of Flame Essence Energy transformed into spiraling arcs of fire, swirling and rampaging violently like an unstoppable flood.

Boom!

The opposing forces collided instantly, emitting wave after wave of shockwaves that rippled across the surroundings, stirring fierce winds and chaotic lightning that filled the heavens!

Swish!

Luo Cheng darted backward, avoiding the range of the collision.

“How is this possible? Even this didn’t harm him!”

Seeing his trump card fail to deal any damage, the pale youth’s eyes opened wide in shock, his killing intent intensifying.

Luo Cheng gazed coolly at him. “Unleash your strongest power. Let me see where my current strength stands.”

The words made the pale youth clench his fists, a flush of abnormal crimson crawling across his face.

He had already used eighty to ninety percent of his power, yet the other party didn’t seem to take the fight seriously.

And his words—turning him into some kind of testing stone—were insufferable!

“Haha!”

Infuriated, the pale youth pointed at Luo Cheng and roared, “What kind of creature are you? What makes you think you deserve to see my strongest power?!”

“At the end of the day, you’re just at the early stage of the Sixth-Layer Awakening Vein Realm. Without using my full strength, I’ll still kill you! Don’t think you’ll survive today!”

Although Luo Cheng’s strength shocked him, the pale youth still brimmed with confidence.

After all, he was a late-stage Seventh-Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert, boasting abundant Essence Energy!

In a prolonged fight, he was bound to win!

“Is that so?”

Luo Cheng nodded slightly. “Seems I’ve underestimated you. Let me give you a little more pressure.”

Boom!

As the last word fell, Luo Cheng unsheathed the Thunder Hidden Sword. The surrounding air hummed and trembled as a phantom sword shadow erupted from his body, tearing through the heavens!

He became akin to a peerless divine weapon unsheathed, ready to slaughter everything. Its terrifying sharpness shredded the surrounding airflow into chaos!

Seventy percent Sword Intent exploded forth!
