Chapter 58

Zheng Song kept retreating to avoid Zheng Shi Yi's attacks, reaching into his pocket as he did so. When he felt that Zheng Shi Yi could no longer reach him, he quickly grabbed two pills from his pocket and swallowed them without a second thought.

“Sizzle!”

“Crack!”

The moment the two pills were swallowed, Zheng Song's body began to change.

His weakening aura became abnormally powerful once again, the brown rock covering his surface turning darker, and the patterns in the middle becoming clearer. Faint flames could be seen emerging from the top of his head.

The sound of his bones and muscles cracking and splitting continuously echoed, and his entire body was forcibly raised by a fist's height! His skin became abnormally glossy during this process.

“He actually took the Frenzy Pill and the Iron Bone Pill!”

Zheng Song's transformation immediately allowed the onlookers to determine the pills he had taken.

Everyone thought Zheng Song had gone mad. The Frenzy Pill, by burning the ninth qi wheel, causes the user's cultivation to skyrocket for the next incense stick's time!

The Iron Bone Pill can instantly increase the user's bone and muscle hardness, making them abnormally hard for the next incense stick's time. When used with the Rock Martial Soul, it can even enhance the effects of the Iron Bone Pill!

However, the side effects are significant... The user's bones and muscles will become very brittle within seven days, to the point where any movement could cause them to break.

Zheng Song felt the surging power within his body and quickly calculated how long his cultivation could sustain the effects of the pills, which was only about half an incense stick's time...

Half an incense stick's time? Zheng Song's lips curled into a confident smile: "Half an incense stick's time? That's enough!"

Tian Kun's furrowed brows gradually turned into a smile. Zheng Song's use of the pills would certainly eliminate the threat of Zheng Shi Yi, and due to the effects of the pills, Zheng Song would not pose any threat in the short term! This was a great outcome!

Only at this moment did everyone realize Zheng Song's true ruthlessness, not only towards others but also towards himself! Everyone began to feel relieved that they had not provoked Zheng Song.

Tian Kun's smile grew wider, feeling secretly pleased, "The Frenzy Pill will burn Zheng Song's ninth qi wheel. For him to re-cultivate the ninth qi wheel, it won't be that easy. With only eight qi wheels, how can he affect my ranking!"

"Both sides will be injured, and I like this outcome."

Tian Kun's face showed unprecedented joy.

Su Jing Dan clenched her fists tightly, wanting to do something but feeling utterly helpless. All she could do was worry. If only she had stopped Brother Shi Yi from coming...

Stepping onto the life-and-death platform, life and death are determined by heaven!

Wu Dong clenched his fists, still trying to comfort Su Jing Dan, "Don't worry... Don't worry... He will be fine!"

While comforting Su Jing Dan, Wu Dong secretly decided that if Zheng Shi Yi was in real danger, he would ignore the sect's rules! Even if he faced severe punishment, he couldn't let Zheng Shi Yi be harmed!

"You have forced me to this point, are you satisfied now..."

Zheng Song stomped his foot, causing dust to rise from the platform, enveloping Zheng Shi Yi in a cloud of dirt and dust.

He stretched his arms backward, filled with frenzied power, and charged at Zheng Shi Yi at high speed.

The sky above the life-and-death platform was completely shrouded in dust, making the atmosphere particularly gloomy.

Zheng Song, with a bright aura and a faint rainbow glow on his head, resembled a descending god of death. Each step he took towards Zheng Shi Yi foretold the opponent's approach to death.

Many disciples who enjoyed bloodshed watched with wide eyes, not wanting to miss the exciting scene that was about to unfold.

Zheng Shi Yi's lips curled with a cold smile, his eyes flashing with a cold light, "You have always relied on external aids, never believing in yourself."

"You always thought that by relying on external aids, you could become a genius, surpassing others."

"But you overlooked one thing: those who do not believe in themselves will never amount to anything!"

"I am different! I have always believed that as long as I keep working hard, I will reach the peak of martial arts and reclaim everything I have lost!"

"You took the Frenzy Pill and the Iron Bone Pill, thinking you could kill me? I will tell you now, even with those pills, you will not escape death today!"

"Today, I will use our family's Thunder Power to cleanse the family!"

Zheng Shi Yi slowly raised his arm, a layer of boxing intent appearing on his clenched fist. Even though the fist had not been released, the boxing intent already caused the air to vibrate with a whistling sound.

"Boxing... boxing intent! His understanding of boxing intent is profound..."

Tian Kun faintly sensed the boxing intent emanating from Zheng Shi Yi's fist, and his face turned ashen.

Boxing intent is a realm achieved through the cultivation of boxing techniques. Once in this realm, the power of a punch can increase by dozens or even hundreds of times!

If he had previously thought that Zheng Shi Yi had no chance of winning, from this moment on, he believed that Zheng Shi Yi had the strength to match Zheng Song.

"I haven't even grasped boxing intent, yet this boy has! No matter what, he must die!"

Tian Kun's eyes glowed with a fierce light. The potential Zheng Shi Yi had shown had reached a point where he had to be killed.

Zheng Song's eyes were bloodshot, and the coldness in his lips grew stronger, "Die!"

He swung his fist, his arm moving like a dragon's tail in mid-air, ruthlessly smashing towards Zheng Shi Yi.

Zheng Shi Yi's face remained calm. When his fist was just a few centimeters from his face, he unleashed his boxing intent, striking Zheng Shi Yi's incoming fist with perfect accuracy.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided, generating a powerful shockwave that instantly shattered the nearby railings into pieces.

The sound of bones cracking echoed from Zheng Song's arm.

Zheng Song was directly thrown back, and Zheng Shi Yi quickly followed, raising his fist, charged with killing intent, and struck Zheng Song's chest.

Zheng Song, sensing the danger, hurriedly used his injured arm and the other arm to protect himself, trying to block the attack.

The incoming fist struck his arms, which instantly turned to powder.

Zheng Song's face turned pale.

Zheng Shi Yi did not stop his attack. His lightning-fast punches and kicks rained down on Zheng Song's face, jaw, chest, and abdomen.

Zheng Song's nose and face were bruised and swollen, his chest caved in, and his spine deformed, eventually forming a large hole in his back, from which blood gushed out.

Zheng Song felt like a punching bag, completely unable to fight back, only able to endure the humiliation of the punches and kicks.

How can he be so strong... How can my Rock Martial Soul be so weak? Zheng Song wanted to ask, but Zheng Shi Yi's punch had already severed his vocal cords and throat bones. Only the strong life force of a martial artist kept him from dying immediately.

Zheng Shi Yi delivered another powerful punch to Zheng Song's forehead, sending him flying off the life-and-death platform.

The blood streaming from his body drew a perfect arc in the air.

He landed on his back, the hole in his back facing Zheng Shi Yi.

This scene was identical to when Zheng Tian Yu killed Zheng Lin Han!

Life quickly drained from Zheng Song's body. He stared at Zheng Shi Yi with a look of utter frustration, thinking about all the calculations and efforts he had made... only to end up dying at the hands of a soulless waste!

Zheng Shi Yi glanced indifferently at the dead Zheng Song and thought to himself, "Head of the Han Qiu family, I have killed this one for you today. I will kill Zheng Tian Yu later..."

What does it feel like to take revenge? Zheng Shi Yi suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. However, this burden was not big enough; there was still a larger one pressing on his chest!

The surrounding disciples felt as if they were in a dream, staring at Zheng Shi Yi in shock before breaking into a noisy chatter.

"This guy is so strong! He even killed Zheng Song, who had a Rock Martial Soul and had taken the Frenzy Pill and the Iron Bone Pill!"

"He is really too strong!"

"He is definitely the new king among the new disciples of this year!"

"Based on his strength, he could not only enter the top thirty of the风云榜 (Feng Yun Bang), but even the top twenty!"

"Given enough time, he could become an inner sect disciple!"

Although it was Zheng Shi Yi who killed Zheng Song, not these people, they were more excited than Zheng Shi Yi.

Many people looked at Zheng Shi Yi with extreme envy, as if Zheng Song had been killed by them.

Tian Kun's face turned extremely dark. He did not expect Zheng Shi Yi to be so strong, capable of killing Zheng Song in that state.

If Zheng Shi Yi was not eliminated, he would pose a significant threat to Tian Kun's ranking on the list.

"I must kill this boy!" Clenching his fists tightly, Tian Kun left the life-and-death platform.

Wu Dong and Su Jing Dan finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, exchanging smiles.

Zheng Qi and the remaining four Zheng family disciples, who had been so arrogant when they arrived, now showed signs of retreating.

Zheng Shi Yi walked to the edge of the life-and-death platform, looking at the group with a playful expression.

The onlookers then remembered that Zheng Shi Yi had come to the platform because of this group, and their gazes shifted to Zheng Qi and his companions.

Under the scrutiny of so many people, the four behind Zheng Qi began to tremble.

Zheng Qi, the only one among Zheng Song's group to reach the ninth qi wheel, could not back down at this moment.

He mustered his courage, stepped forward, and pointed at Zheng Shi Yi, shouting, "You are truly ruthless, killing your own family members, four at once, and even the family's key cultivation target, Zheng Song!"

"Do you have any humanity?"

Zheng Shi Yi's cold laugh was filled with disdain, "The ones without humanity are you! Family members don't harm each other like this. Family members don't team up with outsiders to extract my Supreme Soul!"

Zheng Shi Yi's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone into gaping in surprise, "Supreme Soul? He said he once had a Supreme Soul!"

"Heaven! He can't be lying to us. A Supreme Soul is the pinnacle of martial souls! A soul that can make people submit just by sensing its presence."

"Legend has it that there have been only a few people with Supreme Souls in the continent."

"Those few people undoubtedly became the strongest on the continent, and some even stepped onto the Supreme Path, becoming true gods!"

"Who would have thought he would say he had a Supreme Soul."

"It is said that those whose martial souls are extracted usually die. He not only didn't die but became so strong. He is really amazing!"

Everyone looked at Zheng Shi Yi as if they were seeing a fool.
