Chapter 96: One Punch is Enough!
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes in the Moon Heart Lake were focused on Fang Yu.
Beside him, Qin Yimo and Ji Dongshan, father and daughter, looked at Fang Yu with shock on their faces.
They never expected Fang Yu would choose this moment to step onto the stage.
“What are you doing!?” Qin Yimo bit her red lip and whispered in question.
Ji Rumei also looked at Fang Yu with a worried expression.
The three protectors of the Zheng family on stage were extremely ruthless, and their first move was aimed at taking the opponent’s life.
If Fang Yu engaged with them, he would undoubtedly risk losing his life, which was far from a wise decision.
However, Fang Yu didn’t think about it that much.
The three protectors of the Zheng family were the most powerful among all the martial artists present.
If he didn’t step onto the stage now, he wouldn’t have another chance later.
“Who is that person? Standing up at this time is just asking for death, right?”
“It seems to be a martial artist brought by the young lady of the Qin family…”
“Is she the young lady of the Qin family from Yan City? Didn’t she only bring one innate martial artist to the summit?”
Everyone stared at Fang Yu, whispering among themselves.
“That’s right! He is that innate martial artist!”
“What’s going on? Has the young lady of the Qin family lost her mind? Sending an innate martial artist to face off against a strongman from the Zheng family!?”
“Wow! He really is an innate martial artist!”
As most people realized that Fang Yu was merely an innate martial artist, the murmurs grew louder.
They looked at Fang Yu with strange expressions.
A mere innate martial artist thinks he can challenge the three protectors of the Zheng family?
Isn’t that suicide?
Martial artists surely understand how significant the gap between major realms is, right?
Could it be that the young lady of the Qin family requested this?
What was she thinking?
Did she really believe that an innate martial artist from Yan City was stronger than martial masters from other places?
Thinking of this, many people looked at Fang Yu with sympathy.
Most of the people present were happy to see the Qin and Zheng families fight each other.
After all, neither of these families belonged to the martial arts aristocracy of Jiangnan, and both were trying to stake a claim in Jiangnan.
It would be best if the two families ended up mutually destructive; that would be a good thing for the aristocratic families of Jiangnan.
On the stage, the three protectors of the Zheng family looked at Fang Yu, their brows slightly furrowed.
From the aura emanating from Fang Yu, it was clear that he was only an innate martial artist at the seventh stage.
With such cultivation, he had no interest in making a move.
Too weak.
“Miss Qin, are you sure you want him to go on stage? I have no grievances against you or the Qin family, so I don’t want to harm your people… but if he steps onto the high platform, my words may not hold any weight,” Zheng Xiuchen said, looking at Qin Yimo, a faint smile on his lips.
At this moment, Qin Yimo was nearly furious!
Fang Yu’s unilateral decision had dragged her into this mess!
Most people believed that Fang Yu had been forced by her to go on stage!
Many looked at her as if she were a foolish rich girl.
When had Qin Yimo ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet, despite her anger, Qin Yimo maintained her composure and said, “I respect Mr. Daotian’s wishes. If he wants to go on stage, I will not stop him.”
“Mr. Daotian?” Zheng Xiuchen squinted at Fang Yu.
Yang Yinzhu, standing nearby, was also silently observing Fang Yu.
However, after Fang Yu had undergone disguise, she couldn’t recognize him at all and found him unfamiliar.
“Are you sure you want to go on stage?” At this moment, the referee beside the high platform stared at Fang Yu and asked.
“Yes,” Fang Yu replied.
The referee then looked at Qin Yimo.
Fang Yu was under Qin Yimo’s authority; if he wanted to go on stage, he needed her consent.
“If he wants to go on stage, then let him,” Qin Yimo said, her mood quite unpleasant, but her demeanor remained calm.
Is he really going on stage?
A commotion erupted around them.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Fang Yu leaped onto the high platform.
An innate martial artist was challenging a martial arts master!
Moreover, this martial arts master was no ordinary one; he was one of the three protectors from the Zheng family! His strength was extremely formidable, having killed the sixth elder of the Zhong family with a single blow!
“I’ve seen many people seeking survival… but it’s rare to see someone seeking death, especially someone doing it so publicly for the first time,” someone remarked.
Below the stage, Ji Rumei looked at Qin Yimo and asked worriedly, “Miss Qin… can Mr. Daotian really defeat the three protectors of the Zheng family?”
Before Qin Yimo could respond, Yang Yinzhu sneered.
“Ji Rumei, are you really that foolish or just pretending? Is there any need to ask such a question? Can’t you see his expression?”
Qin Yimo’s expression was indeed not good, but she was not worried about Fang Yu’s ability to win; she was more upset about Fang Yu’s reckless decision.
However, in Ji Rumei’s eyes, this was a sign that Qin Yimo lacked confidence in Fang Yu.
“Mr. Fang…” Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu on the stage, her face pale.
Zheng Xiuchen looked at the three protectors of the Zheng family on the high platform and said, “Three Protectors, try to spare his life; after all, he is Miss Qin’s person.”
The three protectors of the Zheng family nodded.
After speaking, Zheng Xiuchen turned to Qin Yimo, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and said, “Miss Qin, I have done what I can. I hope that whatever happens on stage later, you won’t blame me.”
Zheng Xiuchen was clearly mocking, but Qin Yimo didn’t care.
She believed that Fang Yu, whom her grandfather valued so much, was not reckless enough to disregard his own life.
After witnessing the strength of the three protectors of the Zheng family, Fang Yu still dared to step onto the stage, which indicated he had confidence in defeating them.
…
On the high platform, the three protectors of the Zheng family stood with their hands behind their backs, looking at Fang Yu with cold eyes.
The disguised Fang Yu wore glasses and had a mustache, his thin frame making him look more like a scholar than a martial artist.
“What’s your name?” the three protectors of the Zheng family asked.
“My name is Daotian,” Fang Yu replied.
This name was actually his master’s name.
On the way to Moon Heart Lake, Fang Yu had inexplicably thought of using his master’s name as an alias, finding it quite amusing.
“Are you not afraid of death?” the three protectors of the Zheng family asked again.
“I will not die,” Fang Yu smiled and said.
The three protectors of the Zheng family shook their heads slightly and said, “With your level of cultivation, I don’t even need to make a move to twist your head off.”
“Are you really that strong?” Fang Yu said, feigning surprise.
The three protectors of the Zheng family snorted coldly, their eyes filled with disdain.
He had been in the martial master realm for eighteen years, almost touching the threshold of the next realm.
Moreover, he practiced the Zheng family’s secret techniques, making him much stronger than other martial masters of the same realm.
It could be said that apart from his own family, he was invincible among those of the same realm, with no rivals at all.
Facing a mere innate martial artist like Fang Yu, he could easily kill him with just his true energy.
“I don’t like bullying the weak. How about this? I’ll let you take three punches first, and then I’ll make my move,” the three protectors of the Zheng family said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed strange expressions.
On the competition stage, this was the ultimate humiliation!
Letting him take three punches first before making a move—how much contempt did one have to have to do that?
Zheng Xiuchen smiled and shook his head lightly, his eyes filled with mockery.
He hadn’t originally wanted to provoke Qin Yimo, but since her subordinate had come forward for humiliation, he had no choice but to accept it.
Although the Qin family was a prestigious family in Yan City, Zheng Xiuchen felt no fear.
The Zheng family was developing rapidly and was extremely powerful, no longer intimidated by any family.
Even if the Qin family were in Jiangnan, the Zheng family would not retreat an inch!
This was absolute confidence!
Hearing the words of the three protectors of the Zheng family on stage and feeling the various strange gazes gathering around, Qin Yimo frowned slightly.
The arrogance of the Zheng family made her very uncomfortable.
If any family in Yan City dared to be so arrogant in front of the Qin family, that family would be finished.
Of course, Qin Yimo understood that her grandfather sent her to the Jiangnan branch precisely to hope she could gain experience and not live forever under the Qin family’s shadow.
“Fang Yu… I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Qin Yimo thought as she looked at Fang Yu on the stage.
…
On the stage, Fang Yu widened his eyes and looked at the three protectors of the Zheng family, asking, “Are you sure you want to let me hit you three times first?”
The three protectors of the Zheng family looked down at him with disdain and said coldly, “If I let you hit me first, you won’t have another chance to strike. I’ll let you see the gap between a martial arts master and you innate martial artists!”
“Alright, I also want to see how tough your body is. But three punches aren’t necessary; one punch will suffice,” Fang Yu said as he walked toward the three protectors of the Zheng family.
One punch?
The three protectors of the Zheng family’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Indeed, one punch would be enough.
When Fang Yu threw his punch, he would use his true energy to rebound it.
The force of the rebound would be enough to cause Fang Yu to die instantly.
Fang Yu quickly approached the three protectors of the Zheng family and clenched his right fist.
“Are you ready? I’m really going to punch now,” Fang Yu asked.
The three protectors of the Zheng family exuded a chilling aura.
“If that Daotian really dares to throw a punch, he will definitely be killed by the rebound of the Zheng family’s true energy! The harder he punches, the stronger the rebound force he will suffer!” a martial master below commented.
“This Daotian really dares to get close! He can’t even release his true energy; does he think he can defeat a martial arts master with just his physical strength? It’s simply ridiculous!” another martial master scoffed.
“After this punch, it’s likely that he will be the one to die…” yet another martial master sighed.
At a distance, Zhong Yuan and Zhong Liyu were also staring at Fang Yu.
“Brother, what do you think of this person…” Zhong Liyu asked.
Zhong Yuan was still pale as a sheet from the shock of the sixth elder of the Zhong family’s death, but upon hearing Zhong Liyu’s question, he sneered, “Nonsense! Do you really think that the innate martial artist brought by the Qin family is much stronger than other innate martial artists? Even the sixth elder was killed in an instant; this Daotian will definitely die even worse!”
…
On the high platform, Fang Yu slightly bent his knees, his right fist tightly clenched, but there was no aura emanating from him.
The three protectors of the Zheng family stood with their hands behind their backs, completely disregarding Fang Yu.
Fang Yu’s eyes sharpened as he threw a punch at the chest of the three protectors of the Zheng family!
