Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 278 The True Meaning of Dawn versus an Ordinary Punch

Lin Fu threw a punch, and the air exploded.

That punch had no fancy moves, no afterimages, only pure power.

The power of the mountain shaman was concentrated to the extreme, and the gray-white rock patterns on the surface of his fist resembled the cracked earth. Wherever the wind from his fist passed, a deep trench was carved into the ground.

"So direct!" Zhu Ge couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But thinking about it, it's not surprising at all.

After all, Lin Fu has been living in the mountains for a long time, so etiquette and manners probably don't matter much to her.

Faced with Lin Fu's earth-shattering punch, Lin Zhi simply raised her right hand, spread her five fingers, and placed her palm against Lin Fu's fist.

"Bang—"

A muffled thud, without any shockwave or flying sand or stones.

Lin Fu's fist slammed into Lin Zhi's palm, as if it had struck a ball of cotton; all the force was neutralized.

Lin Fu screamed with her mouth wide open: "Aaaaaah!! Break! Break! Break!!!!!"

A green mountain appeared in the sky, clearly a manifestation of Lin Fu's true intention.

Zhu Ge's expression shifted.

They're getting serious!

A terrifying shockwave erupted from where Lin Fu and Lin Zhi's hands met, instantly blasting the ground down several meters.

This is still the situation when we're in the sky.

If it were on the ground, it would probably be a huge crater covering several miles in radius.

"Your strength is considerably greater than last time." Lin Zhi smiled slightly and withdrew her hand. "Be a good girl! I didn't come here to find you."

The next moment, Lin Zhi gently patted her, the gesture and force as casual and effortless as raising her hand to cover her mouth when yawning.

But Lin Fu, who had made Zhu Ge's nose bleed, was slammed to the ground in an instant.

Most importantly, when Lin Fu landed, it was no different from a feather landing, only stirring up a little dust.

Zhu Ge stood aside, watching this scene with a sense of awe.

What terrifying control!

What terrifying explosive power!

What terrifying control!

Lin Zhi received Lin Fu's punch without using any spiritual power, blood energy, or literary energy; it was purely physical strength.

Her body was stronger than any body-refining martial artist Zhu Ge had ever seen.

"Zhu Ge." Lin Zhi turned her head and looked at Zhu Ge.

That gaze was neither oppressive nor scrutinizing, but purely—curious.

It's like a child seeing a new and interesting toy and wanting to open it up to see what's inside.

Zhu Ge, neither humble nor arrogant, clasped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Miss Linzhi."

"Young lady? Hahaha, truly worthy of being a Confucian scholar." Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow and laughed heartily, "Few people call me that; they all call me General."

"General Lin," Zhu Ge changed her address directly. In fact, Lin Zhi truly deserved to be called a heroine who was no less capable than any man.

"I've heard about your story." Lin Zhi walked up to Zhu Ge and looked him up and down: "At the second realm, you killed a great master, opened a new path, and made your name in history. When I was at the second realm, I was still herding sheep in Yanjiang."

Zhu Ge didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.

"Don't be nervous." Lin Zhi smiled, a gentle smile that felt like a spring breeze. "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to invite you."

"An invitation?" Zhu Ge was taken aback.

Why invite someone to be ranked first on the "Imperial List"?

"Yes." Lin Zhi smiled, as if the sunshine had become even brighter: "I'm inviting you to be my husband, but of course, you'll have to defeat me after you reach the third realm."

"Huh?" Zhu Ge exclaimed in surprise, then hesitated and said, "Isn't that unnecessary?"

"He's mine!" Lin Fu, who was on the ground, shook her dizzy head and shouted subconsciously.

Then Lin Zhi gently patted down, and Lin Fu, who was not far behind her, fainted with her eyes rolling back in her head.

"You're really stubborn." Lin Zhi glanced back at him, then turned back to Zhu Ge and laughed, "You're at the third realm and you still can't beat me? That's not up to you."

"What if we can win?" Zhu Ge raised an eyebrow. "Then we won't need to, right?"

"Hahaha, that's not up to you!" Lin Zhi laughed heartily. "I have a million-strong army, you don't."

"Hard to say," Zhu Ge said, narrowing her eyes.

A million-strong army?

This woman really does want to force a marriage!

However, Zhu Ge's words were not without merit.

The war has already begun in the southern Vietnam and Burma wilderness.

With Yan Liyuan and the others looking after them, and with the Bone Monster's clone there, plus the fact that there are no more Great Realm cultivators left in the Southern Yue and Myanmar Wilderness.

In that case, having a million soldiers is not impossible.

Of course, an army isn't just about having a large number of soldiers.

But at the very least, Zhu Ge shouldn't show any weakness.

"Sure, kid, I like it." Lin Zhi patted Zhu Ge on the shoulder.

Zhu Ge didn't feel anything unusual about the pat on the shoulder, so she exclaimed in admiration, "Terrifying control."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi's eyes lit up: "You have good taste. Good, very good. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Come on, attack me with your strongest true intent."

The strongest true meaning?

Zhu Ge took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

There was no refusal, and there was no need to refuse.

He also wanted to see how much of a difference there was between himself and Lin Zhi, the current overlord of all things.

"This true meaning embodies everything I've thought about and learned in martial arts so far—"

Zhu Ge did not take out the Purgatory Star Staff, but instead relied on his hands to mobilize his blood and qi, and his martial arts heart pounded.

"Oh? You major in martial arts?" Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I thought you majored in Confucianism and Taoism, but it doesn't matter, come on."

Zhu Ge nodded: "I call this true meaning—Dawn!"

The next moment, he exerted all his strength, stretching his arms forward as if he were in the starting stance of the Xu Family Swallow Fist.

The sky seemed to plunge into darkness all at once, and only Zhu Ge's eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

"boom!!!"

The darkness lasted only a moment before Zhu Ge forcefully tore it apart with both hands.

The phantom of the blessing song in the sky also made this movement, and the two forces combined.

At the same time, the pulsating martial arts essence once again entered a state of profound silence, providing Zhu Ge with boundless power.

"Dawn?" Lin Zhi's face lit up with excitement. "Great, great, great, hahaha!"

The next instant, she threw a punch straight at Zhu Ge.

With a single punch, Zhu Ge felt that the true meaning of dawn, capable of tearing through the darkness, was as fragile as an egg hitting a stone.

breaking Dawn?

It can't be broken!

At the same time, an endless force from all over the world pressed down upon us.

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in.

This is "momentum"!

Zhu Ge was suddenly startled.

"Thump!!!"

The next moment, she effortlessly withdrew all the power from Linzhi.

The true meaning of dawn is gone, and so is that feeling of the sky collapsing and the earth crumbling.

Lin Zhi once again demonstrated her extreme control over her own power.

"Not bad, not bad, ranking eighteenth in martial arts is no problem!" Lin Zhi clapped his hands in satisfaction, as if he had touched some dust and was brushing it off.

"You are very strong."

Zhu Ge was slightly weak, and his martial spirit faded: "Even if I break through to the third realm, I might not be able to defeat you."

Zhu Ge knew very well what was going on.

It's not "maybe," it's "definitely"!

Lin Zhi's ordinary punch, even a casual gesture, carries a certain "momentum." What if it were a serious punch?
