Chapter 20 One Brutal Strike
One Brutal Strike
"Blacknether Sect."
Seeing it was the brawny bald man and his group, the old man in black and others with him did not look too good, the tall middle-aged man who was questioning Du Shaofu earlier furrowed his brows: "Baldy Zhong, Blacknether Sect’s moves quite quickly.”
"Sky Serpent Sect is not slow either. Something isn’t right with the hegemony existence within the Wild Beast Mountains, and matters of this scale are not something Sky Serpent Sect is qualified to meddle in.” The bald headed brawny man said to the middle-aged man, his gaze shifted to the old man in black clothes holding the snake-headed staff and said: “I did not expect Sky Serpent Sect even sent the dignified Copper Snake Elder here.”
"Aren’t you here too? I’m certain you too, desires to gain some benefits from that existence.” Gripping the copper snake-figured staff, the oldman looked past the brawny bald man towards the several youngsters behind him:” This generations’ of Blacknether Sect’s disciples are quite good, just waiting for an opportunity for build-the-base baptism however it is dubious whether such an opportunity will present itself.”
"Sky Serpent Sect’s younger generation is also not bad, but life’s fortune seems a bit shallow in my opinion, most probably will be returning empty-handed this time." Baldy Zhong eyes swept over the several young man and women of Sky Serpent Sect, not losing in sarcasm; whenever the two sides meet the atmosphere will immediately become tensed.
"So lively, indeed was a smart choice to come early ah.”
Following the old hoarse voice is the arrival of several people lead by an old man at the front, his hair was as white as a crane’s, bearing an exceptionally strong aura, behind him stood young men and women also extraordinary circled protectively by some strong experts.
"Mystical Talisman House’s Daoist Crane Spirit."
Seeing the white-haired old man, whether it is the Copper Serpent staff elder or Baldy Zhong’s pupils flitted unnoticeably.
Du Shaofu carrying a few demonic beast bodies did not imagine that he will run into three different forces of people. Both the Sky Serpent Sect and Blacknether Sect were forces Du Shaofu had heard of, rumors have it, these sects are more powerful than an empire, even emperors is to greet them in person.
Forces of this level exist in the outside world are something that Stone City can only look up to from afar.
Now, Du Shaofu finally understands why these people dare to enter Wild Beast Mountains during this period, turns out each one has an amazing background.
"Please continue your discussion, don’t mind me."
Du Shaofu is not a fool, whether it is Sky Serpent Sect or the Blacknether Sect, both are not forces he can mess with and that last force, most probably is not weaker than the initial two forces, getting out of here as fast as possible is the smartest choice. Furthermore, he’s not even familiar with them.
"Kid, you have yet to answer my Shishu’s[1] question!"
An arrogant young man about Du Shaofu’s size stepped out from the Sky Serpent Sect’s group of youngsters, directly blocking Du Shaofu’s way, obviously, Du Shaofu is nothing in his eyes.
"Don’t block my way, I’m hungry and want to go and roast meat."
Du Shaofu is very unhappy with this arrogant young man obstructing his way, bypassing the young man, Du Shaofu moved towards the hill.
The young man felt he had lost face, he was the pride of the sect and within the sect, his presence is heaven-like, who would dare to be disrespectful towards him. If not for waiting for the strongest demonic beasts’ essence of blood for built-the-base baptism, he would have already entered into Xiantian territory.
"Hmph, looking for abuse[2]."
Seeing Du Shaofu bypassing him, the young man snorted, suddenly punching out aiming towards Du Shaofu’s back, within the shadow of the fist faint lines of runes surging with momentum rapidly closing the distance in between.
"Raging Storm Waves Palm!"
Du Shaofu of course, is not a fool, he had been wary and was quietly arming himself when he felt the vibration of a strike coming from the back, immediately the improved version of Raging Storm Waves Palm shot out xuanqi surging the power akin to a volcano erupting, clashes head-on with the young man’s punch.
"Bang!"
A thunderous sound like the stormy waves surging with energy of the wind, crashed continuously against the young man, from the grounds clouds of sand rose, fallen leaves fluttered in the wind, and the young man of Sky Serpent Sect staggered ten steps back in succession before landing on his butt, drops of blood trickled from the edge of his mouth.
Du Shaofu was still standing, although his body shook slightly, sighing in his heart, this young man is really strong, much stronger than those cousins of his, if not for perfecting the Raging Storm Waves Palm probably he will be the one planted on his butt.
"What a strong youth."
The entire scene happened so swiftly that the people from all three forces were yet to react, many young girls’ eyes fell on Du Shaofu, exposing the color of surprise.
Some of the experts from Sky Serpent Sect look petrified, the defeated young man though yet to enter Xiantian level, but still is a peak Houtian warrior waiting for his built-the-base baptism. Base on his strength, an ordinary Xiantian level warrior is not the young man’s opponent, however, the very same young man was defeated by a wild youth in the mountains. It is simply unbelievable!
Some of them can’t even determine the level of cultivation of the purple robe youth, possessing only xuanqi without any realm atmosphere, this youth is simply terrifying.
"The palm skill he used just now seems like Xiantian martial skill, however, there are traces of Maidong atmosphere, could this kid be a Xiantian Warrior or maybe even a Maidong Warrior, damn!”
Doubts appeared in many of the strong warriors’ heart whereas most people were in a dazed surprise.
"Hmph, just a little brat but dared to hurt others, unforgivable.”
The middle-aged man face earlier sank and turned gloomy his hand reaching out to grab Du Shaofu, as the hand reached out space distorted and Du Shaofu’s body felt as if it solidified, unable to move even a finger.
"Humph!"
In this split-second time frame, a stream of flashing runes dropped from above like lightning crossing space penetrating the middle-aged man’s handprint.
"Ahh~!"
Handprint shatter but the stream of runes continued to drill into that man’s hand that a bloody hole appeared, blood flew everywhere as he screamed aloud.
"I’m immediately coming back to roast meat for you, don’t be anxious.”
Du Shaofu laughed. That move earlier must have been the white-clothed lady, he gambled correctly the white-clothed lady wouldn’t let him die and not do anything, he’s also right that she’s far stronger than any person here. Grinning, Du Shaofu no longer bothers with the so-called three forces, turned around with some demonic beast bodies and began climbing up the hill.
"So strong!"
As the crowd regained focus, that middle-aged man’s strength was considered strong, unexpectedly hit by someone out of thin air, even not knowing who hit him; the youth in purple robe have the backing of someone with such terrible strength behind him, it’s no wonder he dares to appear in these inner part of Wild Beast Mountains and strike the Sky Serpent Sect’s young man without hesitation.
"There’s another sky above the sky, and people above other people[3], you all have to remember well, do not behave arrogantly in the outside world, learn to have an open mind."
The White-haired Oldman advised the younger generation behind him, then looks at Du Shaofu as he climbs, some doubts remain in his heart; this young man is so remarkable and yet he climbs up the hill, is this a special physique training method. It’s obvious this youth’s physique is very strong, almost comparable to a demonic beast or it is impossible to collide head-on with the Sky Serpent Sect’s young man punch and remained steady as Mount Tai.
"Yes, we will remember Elder’s teaching."
The young men and women nodded in understanding, they indeed witnessed the profound truth of the idiom there exist people stronger than the extent of their knowledge and that young man in purple robe climbing up the hill are not much worse compared to themselves.
Notes:
Shishu- (Probably most knows this) Master Uncle, i.e: the person (persons) that apprenticed under the same Master as one’s master.
The actual wordings were ’敬酒不吃吃罚酒 ’literally refusing to drink a toasting wine only to drink a penalty”
There’s another sky above the sky and people above other people: There will always exist people better than oneself.
