Chapter 7
C7 – Trash
“Trash, go to die.”
Zhuang Guai was incensed by Zhuang Xing’s disdain. Throughout his life, he had been the Zhuang family’s top prodigy, always holding himself in high regard. But now, he found himself scorned by Zhuang Xing, and it filled him with fury.
With an enraged roar, Zhuang Guai leaped up and launched a palm strike at Zhuang Xing. His powerful palm force surged violently toward his opponent.
Zhuang Xing’s technique remained unchanged. A ferocious burst of flames shot out, clashing directly with Zhuang Guai’s palm force.
Against all expectations, Zhuang Guai’s palm force crumbled effortlessly under Zhuang Xing’s Fire Fist.
The onlookers were astounded by the display of Zhuang Xing’s formidable strength.
As a Spirit Wheel Stage Expert, Zhuang Guai wielded one of the Zhuang family’s most potent skills. In theory, he should have been able to overpower Zhuang Xing with ease. Even Zhuang Xing’s advancement to Qi Refining Stage Level Nine Heaven should have made no difference.
Yet, the tide of battle defied all predictions. From the outset, Zhuang Guai couldn’t gain the upper hand. His offensive moves were consistently thwarted by Zhuang Xing, who seemed to have an answer for everything.
“So much for the family’s top talent.”
Zhuang Xing regarded Zhuang Guai with derision. The latter was seething with rage, veins bulging on his forehead as his intense anger and hatred blazed like an uncontrolled wildfire, consuming his entire being.
“Trash, you’re the one who’s going to die.”
Gripping his hand tightly, Zhuang Guai revealed a blade. The sight of it altered the expressions of all those present.
Spirit Treasure.
A Spirit Treasure was no ordinary weapon; its astonishing destructive power far exceeded that of common blades, making it truly exceptional.
“The Devil Light Blade. I never imagined Zhuang Guai would resort to using the Devil Light Blade.”
“That Devil Light Blade is a formidable Spirit Treasure, incredibly fearsome.”
“With the Spirit Treasure in hand, Zhuang Guai is poised to be unbeatable. Zhuang Xing is in for a rough time.”
“Spirit Treasures are exceedingly rare. Within the Zhuang family, only a select few possess one. Zhuang Guai’s decision to use the Devil Light Blade against Zhuang Xing seems excessively harsh.”
The crowd buzzed with speculation, but no one had faith in Zhuang Xing.
“Spirit Treasure?”
Zhuang Xing remained unimpressed. The Devil Light Blade was merely a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, lacking any significant power.
“Devil Light Blade.”
Zhuang Guai’s eyes brimmed with murderous intent. He was determined to kill Zhuang Xing today. Only with Zhuang Xing’s death could his own status remain unthreatened.
Gripping the Devil Light Blade, Zhuang Guai made a sweeping slash. The blade burst into a resplendent glow, its blinding light reminiscent of the grim reaper’s scythe, poised to claim Zhuang Xing’s life.
“Since you’re so full of confidence, I’ll just have to shatter it.”
Zhuang Xing nonchalantly selected an Earth Rank Martial Skill from his repertoire. Forming a seal with his hands, he launched an attack.
His current power was modest at best. He hadn’t even reached the Spirit Wheel Stage and was limited in the martial skills he could perform, only able to muster the most basic, an Earth Rank Martial Skill.
If anyone else overheard his musings, they would be outraged. The Zhuang family’s most sophisticated martial skill was the Human Rank High Level Martial Skill. The thought of mastering an Earth Rank Martial Skill was beyond their wildest dreams. Yet, even the poorest skill Zhuang Xing possessed was of Earth Rank, a fact that dealt a crushing blow to their morale.
Zhuang Xing’s assault was fierce and relentless. His strike met the Devil Light Blade with such force that it tore the blade apart, leaving onlookers in awe of its devastating power.
Zhuang Guai’s face contorted with shock. He hadn’t anticipated Zhuang Xing’s formidable strength, which had effortlessly repelled his Spirit Treasure.
“Is that the best you can do?”
In that instant, Zhuang Xing’s palm came crashing down. His palm force struck Zhuang Guai, sending him hurtling through the air.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. The outcome of the duel was beyond anyone’s expectations. Zhuang Guai, defeated?
“This can’t be! Zhuang Xing couldn’t possibly defeat me!”
Lying on the ground, Zhuang Guai was consumed by despair. He couldn’t fathom being bested by Zhuang Xing, but the undeniable reality lay before him. He was forced to concede that he was no match for Zhuang Xing.
Zhuang Xing approached deliberately, step by measured step. Zhuang Guai’s heartlessness left Zhuang Xing with no reason to spare his life.
Upon seeing Zhuang Xing approach, fear took hold of Zhuang Guai.
“Zhuang Xing, don’t come any closer. I am the foremost genius of our family. If you lay a hand on me, the Elder Council will never forgive you.”
A cruel sneer played across Zhuang Xing’s lips. Did he really need anyone’s permission to kill?
The onlookers held their breath in fear. They had all witnessed Zhuang Xing’s previous ruthless attack that had left Zhuang Xiang crippled. His mercilessness was chilling.
“Quickly, inform the elders and the Patriarch!”
Only the elders and the Patriarch had any chance of stopping Zhuang Xing now.
With a swift motion, Zhuang Xing raised his foot and shattered Zhuang Guai’s dantian. Waves of excruciating pain flooded Zhuang Guai’s mind, causing him to writhe on the ground, nearly passing out from the agony.
His ruthlessness was unparalleled.
A collective gasp escaped the crowd. Zhuang Xing’s methods were excessively brutal. Zhuang Guai, the great elder’s son and the Zhuang family’s top prodigy, had achieved the Spirit Wheel Stage at a remarkably young age, and the family had placed their hopes in him. But now, Zhuang Xing had destroyed his dantian, obliterating his prospects for cultivation.
“How dare you!”
A thunderous voice cut through the tension. The crowd parted, recognizing that the great elder, Zhuang Shaoying, had arrived.
“My son!”
Zhuang Shaoying’s fury was palpable as he saw Zhuang Guai’s pitiful state, writhing in pain on the ground. The dormant volcano within his chest erupted in rage.
“Bastard, I will cripple you!”
Zhuang Shaoying’s roar unleashed a formidable presence, akin to a fierce beast roused from slumber.
“Stop!”
A sharp, commanding voice interrupted, halting Zhuang Shaoying’s advance. All eyes turned to see a middle-aged woman striding forward.
This woman was Ma Xiaoyan, the wife of Zhuang Dou and mother to Zhuang Xing.
“What has happened here?”
Ma Xiaoyan’s gaze fell upon Zhuang Guai and Zhuang Xiang, and she involuntarily inhaled sharply. Both were regarded as the family’s geniuses, particularly Zhuang Guai, the family’s most exceptional talent. He had reached the Spirit Wheel Stage at a tender age, a feat seldom seen even in the Zhuang family’s storied history. Yet now, he lay crippled, his path of cultivation forever closed.
”Xing, you’re truly clueless,” remarked Zhuang Xing with a shrug, his demeanor exuding nonchalance. Zhuang Guai had brought his current predicament upon himself.
“Ma Xiaoyan, your timing couldn’t be better. Today, this little bastard has crippled my son. If you don’t provide me with a satisfactory explanation for this incident, I absolutely won’t let it slide.”
