Chapter 89

"Shen Lang, you are too arrogant!" Shen Fengxiao roared, "Your true cultivation cannot be much stronger than mine. Relying solely on your understanding of 'momentum' is not enough to fight against all of us! In the world of martial arts, it is the power that matters! 'Momentum' is merely an auxiliary to power, and it is even used to gain greater power! Don't get carried away!"

As he spoke, he was the first to jump onto the platform and stood opposite Shen Lang.

Then he pointed to the few people below and said, "Shen Fengkuang, Shen Jianfeng, Shen Wubing, Shen Luofeng, Shen Jian, the five of you come up and let us teach him a lesson together!"

Everyone's attention immediately focused on a corner of the training ground, where Shen Jianfeng, with a scruffy beard, was sitting on the ground, drinking from a wine jar with great enjoyment.

Seemingly noticing everyone's gaze, Shen Jianfeng laughed self-mockingly, "I am only at the third level of the Qi Martial Realm. There are several people below at the fourth level of the Qi Martial Realm. Why are you calling me instead of them? I have no interest in it, and I don't want to get beaten up."

"Rubbish, waste of space! Calling you up is a sign of respect for you, Shen Jianfeng, and you dare not even come up?"

"Truly shameful, to be so afraid. You are the son of the clan leader, and yet..."

"But it makes sense. He is only at the third level of the Qi Martial Realm, and he is only a bit older than Shen Lang. Why does Shen Fengxiao want him to come up?"

"Unknown. There are rumors that Shen Jianfeng has a dual martial soul, but I don't know if it's true. If he really has a dual martial soul, even at the third level of the Qi Martial Realm, it would be normal for him to defeat a fifth-level expert."

"Really? Such a thing? Why didn't we know? This guy can really endure..."

The people around were discussing, but most of them looked at Shen Jianfeng with disdain.

Shen Haoxuan, on the high platform, glanced at his eldest son, his eyes flickering, and unexpectedly chose to remain silent.

"Coward!" Shen Fengxiao sneered.

Shen Jianfeng refused to go up, but the other four jumped up without a word, surrounding Shen Lang.

In fact, Shen Fengxiao really wanted to call more people, but the platform was not big enough. If there were more people, it would be cumbersome.

The five people on the platform now are the strongest five in the Shen family. If they cannot defeat Shen Lang together...

More frustratingly, even if they do defeat Shen Lang, it doesn't seem like a cause for celebration.

Five of the strongest young disciples of the Shen family, working together to defeat a sixteen-year-old boy, is not a glorious thing.

This battle, if they win, they can only save face.

If they lose, they will lose everything...

"Shen Lang, you will regret your actions!" Shen Fengxiao said fiercely, "Wubing, Luofeng, you two are responsible for keeping him busy, while I, Fengkuang, and Shen Jian will take the lead! This is not like before; we must work together, use our full strength, and not hold back. We must win this battle!"

"Alright!" the other four responded in unison.

Shen Fengxiao sneered, "Since you have lost your weapons, we won't take too much advantage. Today, we will use our fists to defeat you and make you pay for your actions!"

"Ha!" In the crowd, Yin Kuang sneered, "Five against one, and you still say you won't take too much advantage... I used to think the walls of the capital of Zichu Kingdom were the thickest in the world, but it turns out the faces of the Shen family are even thicker. Sigh, I really am a frog at the bottom of a well..."

Yin Kuang's words immediately drew curses from the Shen family disciples, but the curses were quickly stopped by the elders.

At this moment, Shen Lang spoke again, "Don't look at me like that. I won't use spirit weapons; I just want to enjoy the satisfaction of a good fight. Simply put, I want to beat you up. Are you ready to be beaten?"

"Who will be beaten is yet to be seen!" Shen Fengxiao sneered, and his aura began to rise wildly. A golden spiritual light enveloped him, indicating that he practiced a metal-type cultivation method.

The two he asked to keep Shen Lang busy, Shen Wubing, practiced a wood-type cultivation method, with green spiritual light surrounding him;

Shen Luofeng practiced an earth-type cultivation method, with a yellow spiritual light surrounding him.

As for the other two, Shen Fengkuang practiced a fierce and brutal fire-type cultivation method, which, combined with his dark bear martial soul, would likely not be weaker than any of the other four.

Shen Jian practiced a water-type cultivation method and had a sword martial soul. Even with his bare hands, he could emit sword qi, making his offensive power extremely terrifying.

Coincidentally, these five people represented the five elements!

If they worked well together, they could unleash a greater power than five ordinary people working together.

"Unstable Palm!"

"Ice Blade Storm!"

"Eight Directions Divine Fist!"

On the platform, the auras of Shen Fengxiao and the other two rose wildly. They finally unleashed their powerful martial techniques, and with a clash of their fists, three powerful energies of gold, red, and blue instantly burst out.

The three violent energies shattered the hard stone slabs, creating terrifying cracks that spread from the center to the edges of the square before stopping.

At the same time, Shen Luofeng and Shen Wubing also launched their attacks.

However, these two used trapping techniques.

"Thousand Wood Prison, trap him!"

Suddenly, many green wooden stakes emerged from the ground, forming a cage around Shen Lang.

"Black Earth Bind, seal him!"

Dust and debris flew up, almost covering the entire platform, then rapidly condensed and rushed toward Shen Lang.

At this moment, a cold, calm voice echoed from the dust, followed by a flash of lightning. A giant blade of lightning, like a magic sword, instantly cut through the yellow dust.

Then it collided precisely with the three energies unleashed by Shen Fengxiao and the others!

"Boom!"

Without any technique, the pure power collision produced a deafening explosion that echoed throughout the training ground, causing many of the weaker Shen family disciples near the platform to cover their ears in pain!

Then, even more dense dust spread out, radiating in all directions!

One move, just one move, with no fancy tricks...

Looking at the square that was now in ruins, the spectators on the stands fell into a deathly silence.

Shen Fengxiao and the others attacked with all their might, trying to defeat Shen Lang with their superior strength. Many thought he would use movement techniques to dodge or evade the attacks.

But he directly confronted the three of them!

"Switch positions, Wubing and Luofeng to the east and west, Fengkuang to the north, Shen Jian to the south, and help me hold for twenty seconds!"

Shen Fengxiao clearly did not think that one move would defeat Shen Lang, even though the attack's power was beyond their expectations. He had a feeling that this move did not cause Shen Lang much harm.

"Alright!"

The other four roared in unison, and their figures flashed, switching positions before the dust had even settled, preparing for the next attack!

Shen Fengxiao retreated to the edge of the platform on the east side, took a pill, and assumed a horse stance.

His hands flew up and down, forming several seals, and the golden spiritual light around him became even brighter and more solid. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here knew him, one might mistake him for a high monk of the Buddhist sect.

At this moment, the platform was shrouded in dust, and only a few figures could be seen moving rapidly in the center, making it impossible to distinguish who was who.

The spectators on the stands could only see that the edges of the platform were in ruins, with pits and holes everywhere.

No one expected that the clash between Shen Lang and Shen Fengxiao's three would cause such terrifying destruction, damaging the platform to such an extent, causing gasps of shock from the crowd.

"Lightning cultivation, he knows lightning cultivation..." Shui Qingwu muttered.

Xue Dang asked in confusion, "So what if he knows lightning cultivation? I've known that for a long time. What's so special about it..."

Zeng Zuimo, with his chest heaving, said, "Although the three of them are not as strong as us after fusing their martial souls, their combined attack is indeed formidable. I hope Shen Lang will be fine facing such a powerful attack..."

"Don't stay in one place, be careful he doesn't pick you off one by one!" Shen Fengkuang's voice echoed from the dust.

"This kid is strange, my divine sense can't lock onto him. It's as if he has disappeared!" Shen Wubing, who was trying to use a trapping technique again, exclaimed in surprise.

"What!" The crowd on the stands was shocked.

Not being able to lock onto him with divine sense, what did that mean?

For ordinary martial artists, a difference of two or three levels would make it impossible to avoid being locked onto by divine sense!

At this moment, a figure suddenly moved toward Shen Fengxiao, causing a noticeable change in the dust.

"He wants to attack Fengxiao, hold him back!" someone shouted.

"Forest Vine Lock!"

Immediately, more than ten thick vines emerged from the ground, chasing after the black figure.

"Crystal Barrier!"

Shen Luofeng shouted, and with a palm strike on the ground, a yellow light flashed, forming a half-meter thick, semi-transparent wall two meters in front of Shen Fengxiao, cutting him off from the other side.

On the other two sides, Shen Jian and Shen Fengkuang moved faster, attacking fiercely as they approached Shen Fengxiao.

"Water Burst Heaven Sword, one sword to level the sky!"

"Eight Directions Divine Fist, flames rise, burning the eight directions and stabilizing the world! Shen Lang, where are you running!"

In front, the crystal barrier blocked the way, Shen Luofeng was watching closely, behind, the forest vines were entangling, and on both sides, one was a sword user and the other was the powerful Shen Fengkuang...

Unless Shen Lang had three heads and six arms, how could he deal with the attacks from all these people?

The hearts of the spectators were tightly gripped.

The Shen family's martial arts competition was always one-on-one. No matter how intense or exciting, it could never be like this.

This battle, no matter who wins or loses, is destined to spread throughout the entire Tianfeng City!

At this moment, the dust finally cleared, and everyone's eyes widened. They saw Shen Lang, bent over like a leopard, charging toward Shen Luofeng in front of him, his speed astonishing!

"Can you block me?" a calm voice echoed.

In just two sentences, Shen Lang had already closed in on Shen Luofeng.

"We'll see!" Shen Luofeng said coldly, and with a stomp of his right foot, huge spikes emerged from the ground in front of him, a terrifying sight.

"Whoosh!"

Shen Lang leaped into the air, instantly clearing the huge spikes, and raised his right foot, which glowed with electricity, and brought it down fiercely on Shen Luofeng.

"Lightning Control Technique, Wind and Thunder Change, Five Thunders Strike the Head!"
