Chapter 97: The Disgusting Zheng Family!
The third protector of the Zheng family was already prepared, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body!
In front of him, an invisible wall formed from condensed true energy appeared!
Fang Yu’s punch would hit this wall of true energy and then suffer a backlash!
But the next second, when Fang Yu’s fist collided with the true energy wall, the expression on the third protector’s face changed.
“Boom!”
In an instant, this wall of true energy was shattered by Fang Yu’s punch!
“How is this possible…”
The third protector’s face changed drastically as he tried to respond, but it was already too late.
Fang Yu’s fist had already struck his chest.
“Crack!”
The third protector’s eyes widened, and a visible dent appeared in his chest where Fang Yu’s fist had impacted, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Fang Yu stepped forward and grabbed his foot, preventing him from flying off the high platform.
Then, Fang Yu held the third protector’s body with one hand and slammed him hard onto the high platform.
“Poof!”
The third protector spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, his body twitching slightly, unable to stand up.
Fang Yu looked at him and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn’t die.
Around them, there was a deathly silence.
Those who had previously mocked and waited to see Fang Yu’s miserable fate now had changed expressions.
They stared wide-eyed at the stage, their eyes nearly popping out.
The third protector of the Zheng family… just fell like that?
Everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief!
In the distance, Zhong Yuan was dumbfounded, standing in place with a stiff expression.
He felt as if his face had been slapped hard, burning with pain!
On the other side, Qin Yimo and Ji Rumei smiled.
They had originally been worried for Fang Yu, but now it seemed their concerns were unnecessary.
Fang Yu’s strength was simply an endless abyss!
Zheng Xiuchen’s face was dark as he looked at Fang Yu on the stage, his fists clenched tightly.
How could this be?
The third protector, while not the strongest master of the Zheng family, was at least among the top ten!
And the Dao Tian on the stage was merely a congenital martial artist; how could the third protector be defeated so easily?
Beside him, Yang Yinzhu also had an ugly expression.
On the stage, Fang Yu crouched down, grabbing the third protector’s head and activating the Soul Devouring Technique.
His right hand glowed with a faint red true energy, and a pure spiritual energy was absorbed into his body.
Seeing this scene, the crowd below was filled with shock.
What was this Dao Tian doing?
“Young Master, it seems this person wants to cripple the third protector. If we don’t stop him, I’m afraid…” An elder standing behind Zheng Xiuchen leaned closer to his ear and said in a low voice.
For any martial arts family, a master-level family member was an extremely important asset.
A family had to pay a huge price to cultivate a master.
Losing a master was undoubtedly a significant loss.
No matter what, the third protector must be preserved!
Zheng Xiuchen’s eyes were fierce as he whispered, “Seventh Protector, you need to act immediately. Take advantage of Dao Tian’s inattention and deal with him!”
“I understand, Young Master.” As the seventh protector’s voice fell, a surge of aura erupted from him as he charged toward Fang Yu’s position.
His speed was incredibly fast, and most people didn’t react in time.
The next second, the seventh protector of the Zheng family appeared behind Fang Yu, a flash of silver light in his hand revealing a sharp dagger.
At this moment, Fang Yu still had his back turned to him, completely unaware.
The seventh protector’s eyes were cold, his true energy condensing on the dagger as he thrust it toward Fang Yu’s neck!
Unless Fang Yu was a deity, this strike was certain to kill!
At that moment, the crowd below regained their senses and gasped in shock!
No one expected the Zheng family to be so shameless as to break the rules in front of so many people!
Qin Yimo’s face changed dramatically, and Ji Rumei even screamed.
…
On the stage, the dagger in the seventh protector’s hand was about to touch Fang Yu’s neck.
“Boom!”
In that instant, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Fang Yu’s body.
A wave of power burst forth from him, shaking the audience below and causing them to struggle to maintain their balance!
The seventh protector of the Zheng family, closest to Fang Yu, was the first to be affected. The dagger in his hand shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward.
“You really have no shame,” Fang Yu stood up and looked at the seventh protector, who was suspended dozens of meters away, and said calmly.
The seventh protector’s face was grim as he roared, his body radiating true energy.
“Overlord Fist!”
He accelerated and charged at Fang Yu, his right hand clenched into a fist, a white glow emanating from it.
A white flash streaked through the air, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom.
Many around covered their ears, their expressions pained.
Facing the fierce punch, Fang Yu’s expression remained calm.
He raised both hands and then clapped them together in the air!
“Smack!”
This action looked light and casual, just a normal clap.
But the next second, the surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped.
Everyone felt their shoulders sink, as if a heavy weight had suddenly pressed down on them.
“Poof!”
The seventh protector, who was flying through the air, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could reach Fang Yu, he lost his balance and crashed heavily onto the high platform, rolling several times before finally coming to rest at Fang Yu’s feet.
“I hate sneak attackers the most,” Fang Yu looked down at the seventh protector, coldly stating.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yu lifted his foot.
The seventh protector’s eyes widened, filled with terror.
“No…”
His voice had barely escaped when he felt a sharp pain in his chest!
“Crack!”
Fang Yu’s foot came down, crushing all the bones in his chest!
“Poof!”
The seventh protector spat out blood and fainted immediately.
Fang Yu’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at the seventh protector beneath his feet.
Once again, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
The crowd looked at Fang Yu as if they were seeing a deity.
Three times! From start to finish, Fang Yu had only made three moves!
With three moves, he had knocked down two master-level protectors of the Zheng family, leaving them unable to move!
What terrifying strength was this?
His aura was clearly that of a congenital martial artist!
Yet his power far exceeded what this realm should possess!
What else could this be but divine?
This was a god descending to earth!
Zheng Xiuchen’s face was extremely dark, his fists clenched, his body trembling slightly.
He never expected that Dao Tian on the stage would be this powerful.
Even the seventh protector, who had gone to sneak attack, was trampled underfoot!
“Who exactly is this Dao Tian? How does he possess such strength, and why has he been so inconspicuous until now?” Zheng Xiuchen looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with shock.
At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly looked up, locking eyes with Zheng Xiuchen.
Zheng Xiuchen felt a chill penetrate his body, and his heart raced.
Fang Yu merely glanced at Zheng Xiuchen before crouching down, grabbing the seventh protector’s head, and activating the Soul Devouring Technique.
Taking advantage of the fact that this person still had breath, Fang Yu needed to absorb his cultivation quickly; otherwise, if he died, the spiritual energy in his dantian would dissipate directly, making it impossible to absorb.
One layer, two layers, three layers…
After absorbing the seventh protector’s cultivation, Fang Yu broke through three layers in a row.
Fang Yu’s eyes sparkled with joy as he returned to the third protector’s side to continue absorbing.
One layer, two layers, three layers… another three layers!
Fang Yu broke through six layers in total, reaching the 9,855th layer of the Qi Refining Stage.
The people around watched Fang Yu’s every move in a daze, no one daring to make a sound.
Even the three judges from the Martial Arts Association only dared to watch from a distance, hesitating to approach.
Fang Yu stood up and, facing the gazes around him, asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to come up and spar with me?”
Come up to spar?
Wasn’t that just asking for someone to commit suicide?
After witnessing the fate of the two protectors from the Zheng family, who would still have the courage to step up?
The surroundings remained silent, no one daring to speak.
It was Qin Yimo who first regained her senses and said, “Dao Tian, come down.”
Fang Yu looked around and found that everyone’s gaze toward him was filled with shock and daze.
It seemed no one would dare to step up again.
Fang Yu felt a bit disappointed and leaped down from the high platform, landing in front of Zheng Xiuchen.
Zheng Xiuchen immediately took several steps back. Although he forced himself to remain calm, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
“Don’t be afraid; you didn’t step onto the stage. I will abide by the rules and won’t make a move against you,” Fang Yu smiled.
Zheng Xiuchen’s face was extremely ugly; Fang Yu’s words were clearly mocking him for not following the rules!
At this moment, the crowd’s gaze toward Zheng Xiuchen was filled with disdain.
The Zheng family’s strength was indeed formidable, but their conduct was so despicable.
When the people on the stage lost, they sent someone to sneak attack the opponent. Such behavior had never occurred at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Family Summit!
No martial arts family could afford to lose face like this!
Such actions were highly contemptible in the martial arts world; once done, one could be ridiculed for a lifetime!
Yet the Zheng family not only did it but also failed, which was even more embarrassing.
“Still claiming that the Zheng family of Xiangcheng is so powerful? Now it seems, it’s nothing more than this…”
“What does it matter how strong they are? After today, everyone will know what kind of character the Zheng family has. Who will still look up to them in the future?”
“The Zheng family is truly disgusting!”
Gradually, murmurs began to rise around them, growing louder, all voices criticizing the Zheng family.
Hearing these discussions, Zheng Xiuchen’s face grew increasingly grim, his whole body trembling.
He had never imagined that one day he would face such a situation of being pointed at by thousands.
Yang Yinzhu beside him also turned pale; Zheng Xiuchen was her greatest support, and if he encountered problems, she would be doomed too!
“Don’t do such unethical things in the future; the eyes of the public are sharp,” Fang Yu smiled.
After breaking through five layers, he was in a good mood.
“We’re leaving!” Zheng Xiuchen could no longer endure such ridicule and turned to leave.
“I never said you could go,” Fang Yu’s tone suddenly turned cold as he spoke.
