Chapter 53

Tian Kun's eyes lit up. Zheng Song's previous actions had made him extremely displeased, and he was still pondering how to deal with Zheng Song afterward. However, he saw that Zheng Si had been killed.

Tian Kun burst out laughing and praised Zheng Shi Yi, "Kid, you've really surprised me. You managed to kill a dog in such a short time."

"Considering this, I can give you another chance to think about it, to be my little brother..."

The martial artists around Tian Kun waved their hands and shouted, "It's very rare for Brother Kun to take in someone!"

Zheng Shi Yi ignored Tian Kun. This kind of person would only exploit him and wouldn't truly help him! If the benefits were great enough... would Tian Kun turn around and sell him?

"Sorry," Zheng Shi Yi shifted his gaze to Zheng Song, who was still in shock, and said, "You wanted to see someone tortured to death, but I have no patience. I killed him with one strike. I've disappointed you..."

Zheng Song was still deeply shocked and didn't even hear Zheng Shi Yi's sarcastic words clearly.

"Could it be that the previous rumors were true?"

Zheng Song suddenly remembered something. After Zheng Shi Yi entered the sect, he had sent people to investigate Zheng Shi Yi's entry process. The family reported that Zheng Shi Yi had indeed defeated Zheng Ping, who had reached the Sixth Qi Wheel stage.

Zheng Song had always suspected that Zheng Shi Yi had taken some kind of drug to achieve this, but now Zheng Si had been killed! Clearly... Zheng Shi Yi must have won by his own abilities! Zheng Si's quick defeat was also due to underestimating his opponent!

"Sixth Qi Wheel..." Zheng Song's shock faded, and his eyes turned cold as he speculated. Since I betrayed him, Zheng Shi Yi must hate me to death. He dared to challenge me on the life-or-death arena, so he must have other trump cards! I should figure out his trump cards first!

"Zheng Hui, you go!"

Zheng Song gestured to Zheng Hui, who was standing beside him, wearing a blue robe, with a stern face and a straw in his mouth.

Zheng Hui stepped onto the arena, spat out the straw, and with a proud look in his eyes, said, "You think you're invincible just because you killed Zheng Si? You're just a waste of a martial soul..."

"Idiot," Zheng Shi Yi interrupted him, "Zheng Song himself doesn't dare to come, so he sent you to test me. Do you really think he respects you? He's just using your life to gauge my strength."

What? Zheng Hui hurriedly turned to Zheng Song for confirmation.

"Do you actually believe Zheng Shi Yi's words? Then you really are an idiot!" Zheng Song shook his head in disappointment, "I thought you were different from Zheng Si, but now it seems... you might really be the idiot Zheng Shi Yi said you are? You were so easily provoked by his words..."

"Brother Song is right!" Zheng Hui turned his head and glared at Zheng Shi Yi, "Waste..."

"Shut up! Come and fight!" Zheng Shi Yi raised his battle knife and pointed it at him, "Die!"

Zheng Hui, who had been interrupted several times, said nothing more. The Qi Wheels in his body, at the Seventh Qi Wheel stage, rotated fiercely, and a faint aura of true qi formed a seven-wheel circle around his body.

Seventh Qi Wheel!

This time, even Zheng Song was surprised. Zheng Hui had secretly advanced to the Seventh Qi Wheel stage, and he didn't even know!

Zheng Hui's true qi rapidly spun, his feet moved, and his entire hand clenched with a "squeak." The 'Divine Wind Fist' he threw out brought a strong wind that made the face hurt.

With one punch, Zheng Hui felt a surge of confidence. The Divine Wind Fist was a powerful secret technique he had discovered in the sect. The wind from the punch was like a bone-chilling ice blade, causing severe injuries even before hitting the opponent.

His ultimate technique! Zheng Hui had only used it five times! Each time, his opponent was crippled on the spot! Even Zheng Song had expressed multiple times his desire to learn this Divine Wind Fist.

He was very confident that this move would kill Zheng Shi Yi without any hesitation.

Zheng Shi Yi stood calmly in place, the shadow of the fist in his pupils growing larger. He was like a stone statue, seemingly paralyzed by the punch's momentum.

Zheng Hui's fist was less than three feet away from Zheng Shi Yi. With a sudden burst of strength from his legs, his speed doubled, and he rushed toward Zheng Shi Yi like a ghost.

Crack...

The same scene happened again!

Zheng Shi Yi's knife once again unleashed a blinding cold light. A 'red line' appeared on Zheng Hui's arm and head, which quickly widened, spewing two streams of blood.

The speed of the invisible knife was too fast! Zheng Song's body, like a piece of taut fabric, was instantly split in two, his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness, and he fell heavily to the ground.

This scene brought the atmosphere of the arena to an icy point! The surrounding martial artists opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.

One strike! Another strike! A blinding and terrifying strike!

Zheng Hui, at the Seventh Qi Wheel stage, seemed so fragile at this moment! The powerful Divine Wind Fist now seemed somewhat ridiculous.

The martial artists were like statues, standing in place until Tian Kun's cheers woke them up.

Tian Kun clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! Very great! Zheng Shi Yi, you can be the second in my group! Besides me, you can be the leader!"

Tian Kun proudly looked at Zheng Song. This kid, who had risen rapidly in the sect since last year, had already begun to threaten his position.

If given another year, Tian Kun believed that Zheng Song would truly have the qualifications to challenge him!

Now? Zheng Song is humiliated? Tian Kun felt very happy and laughed, "In less than two breaths, you've lost two people? Are you really the best disciple who entered last year?"

Zheng Song frowned and ignored Tian Kun. What he needed to focus on now was Zheng Shi Yi! As for Tian Kun? He would knock him off the风云榜 (Feng Yun Bang) next year!

Zheng Song sized up Zheng Shi Yi on the arena, secretly calculating his true cultivation. Was it so easy to kill someone at the Seventh Qi Wheel stage? Could it be... he has already reached the Eighth Qi Wheel stage? Impossible! How long has he been in the sect?

It seems I need to go myself! Zheng Song relaxed his frown and stepped toward the arena.

A thick arm suddenly rested on Zheng Song's shoulder, and he turned to see Zheng Yong's gloomy face.

"Little Song, let me go," Zheng Yong said in a deep voice, "There's something strange about Zheng Shi Yi. I'll go first. You are the hope of our family... the ancestral land values you."

Zheng Song hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded, "Be careful..."

"Understood..."

Zheng Song watched Zheng Yong nod and walk toward the arena, secretly deciding to treat him better in the future, as long as he didn't threaten him, he could give him more benefits.

Zheng Yong stepped forward, and the ground cracked wherever he went.

Tian Kun saw this and his eyes twitched, surprised. This Zheng Song, who had only been in the sect for a year, already had a follower at the Eighth Qi Wheel stage?

Zheng Yong leaped onto the life-or-death arena, and a 'Thousand Pound Drop' landing made the arena shake.

With two lives lost on the arena, Zheng Yong didn't need to exchange words with Zheng Shi Yi and immediately chose to attack!

"Ice Qi Slash!"

True qi flowed into the large black-clothed sword on Zheng Yong's back, and the black cloth burst, revealing a bright blade in the air.

As Zheng Yong's arm moved, blade auras that could sever a head were continuously released, spreading out in all directions from him.

The surrounding disciples, who were too close to the arena, couldn't dodge in time, and several of them were injured to varying degrees.

I will kill him with the same method I used to kill my two brothers! Zheng Yong moved like lightning, slashing with his sword to cut his opponent's head in half.

Compared to swords? Zheng Shi Yi's eyes were cold. Only those who had truly practiced the invisible knife knew what true speed was!

Zheng Shi Yi stepped forward to meet the incoming sword, and the large sword on the ground, under the impact of true qi, burst into a blinding cold light. It slashed upward diagonally, and two white lights emerged from the blade, each more dazzling than the last!

"Bad!"

Zheng Yong instinctively pulled back his sword, holding it in front of him to block the incoming blade aura, but he was still too slow. Before he could raise his sword, the invisible knife had already landed on his arm.

The bone-chilling pain spread from his abdomen to his arm. By the time he realized it, a diagonal cut had appeared on his body, and fresh blood was gushing out.

"Why?" Zheng Yong's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the cut.

Zheng Shi Yi's strike! It was faster, more ruthless, and the angle was more precise than the previous two!

Zheng Yong had never seen such a sword technique in the sect. Its speed... angle... and power... were too special! So special that only when in battle could one truly feel its power!

Eighth Qi Wheel? The cut on Zheng Yong's body first bled, then... split into two, and he fell to the ground.

The surrounding disciples were at a loss for words, their eyes wide, muttering, "Fast, really too fast!"

"In less than ten breaths, he killed three people! Is he still a new disciple?"

"When did new disciples become so strong?"

Many senior disciples shook their heads in sighs, showing their shame at being inferior to new disciples.

Tian Kun's joy was even greater, and he immediately called out to Zheng Shi Yi, "Junior Brother! Join me! I'll make you the leader of my little brothers!"

The faces of the Zheng family disciples became even more gloomy, and when they looked at Zheng Shi Yi again, they no longer had the same confidence. They were even seen slowly stepping back.

Zheng Song's expression didn't change much. He was frowning, pondering how Zheng Shi Yi had killed those three people with one strike.

Those three people, even if they were not top-notch, shouldn't have been killed by Zheng Shi Yi with one strike.

Before entering the sect, what was Zheng Shi Yi's cultivation? Others didn't know... but Zheng Song knew very well!
