Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 88 As long as the green hills remain

"snort!

'

Faced with this person's provocative palm strike, Lu Cheng did not hesitate at all.

He raised his hand and struck in an instant, arriving before the opponent.

"Smack!"

'

With a sharp crack, the man staggered backward.

If it weren't for Ziyu and the others reaching out to help him up, he would have definitely fallen.

The man was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. His face immediately turned red, and he forcefully broke free from the people supporting him. He pointed at Lu Cheng and shouted, "You little bastard, you actually resorted to underhanded tactics!"

'

In his view, he was only trying to stop Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng actually used his internal energy to strike.

Lu Cheng shook his head: "You're not strong enough, yet you want to stand out. You try to make amends after you fail?"

Lu Cheng was not being arrogant; he did not feel much force in the man's palm strike, so he simply blocked it casually.

Unexpectedly, the man's strength was rather weak; with such a small amount of force, he couldn't even stand steadily.

The man's face immediately turned from red to green.

He and Bai Yu had known each other since childhood, but his family was too poor to afford the training at the Dongyang Sect, so he could only join a sect within the county.

However, he was much more talented than Bai Yu, and since the small sect didn't have as many troublesome matters as the Dongyang Sect, he focused on practicing martial arts diligently. At this time, he had already reached the perfection of Qi Refining and was halfway to Body Refining.

He came with his teacher to offer congratulations, intending to show off in front of Bai Yu.

Unexpectedly, when he took the initiative to make a move, Lu Cheng easily suppressed him.

With Bai Yu right behind him, how could he possibly hold back?

With a low shout of "Hey!" and a series of cracking sounds, the man gathered all his strength, flashed in front of Lu Cheng, and threw a punch at him.

A whistling sound rang out as the wind broke through the air; this time, all their strength was being used.

A full-force attack from a martial artist at the half-step Body Refinement Realm is still quite threatening.

Lu Cheng took a half step back, gently circulated his blood and qi, and struck out with the same palm as before, but the effect was vastly different.

"Kara!"

With a sharp crack, the man cried out in pain and was sent flying backward.

He landed with a thud, clutching his right arm and wailing in pain.

Bai Yu and the others immediately went forward to check and found that the man's arm was twisted unnaturally.

Bai Yu roared angrily, pointing at Lu Cheng and saying, "Lu Cheng, these are guests who came to offer their congratulations. How dare you be so ruthless!"

""

Lu Cheng pointed to the onlookers around him and shook his head: "With so many people watching, there's no need to argue about who's right and who's wrong."

The man also had fellow disciples present, but their strength was even inferior to that of the man, so how could they dare to challenge Lu Cheng?

He had no choice but to squeeze through the crowd and run towards his sect elders.

A short while later, two elderly men aggressively pushed their way into the crowd.

Upon seeing the man's terrible condition, they were immediately shocked and quickly knelt down to treat him.

Accompanying them was an elder from the Dongyang Sect.

Upon seeing this, the elder deacon was greatly surprised: "What's going on?!"

"Elder Yuan, it's Lu Cheng!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Yu immediately pointed at Lu Cheng and said with great distress, "Lu Cheng is ruthless and vicious. It was just a verbal dispute, and he—he actually tried to kill a disciple of our sect!"

"If we hadn't stopped him, he would have almost succeeded!"

"We must not let him off lightly, we must not let him off lightly!"

'

Accompanied by the man's screams of pain, Lu Cheng seemed to have truly become an unforgivable thug.

The two elderly men on the ground who were examining the man's injuries also raised their heads and looked at Lu Cheng, their eyes seemingly spitting fire: "Young friend, what deep-seated hatred do you have that warrants such a heavy blow?"

Lu Cheng shook his head: "We have no prior grudges and have never met before, but—"

One of the elders interrupted Lu Cheng, saying angrily, "You've never seen anything like this before, yet you've used such force. Do you think my Qingyang Sect is easy to bully?"

"When did the disciples of the Dongyang Sect become so arrogant!"

""

The last sentence was addressed to Elder Yuan.

Several other families who heard the commotion also came over with the two old men from Qingyangmen.

Upon seeing this, people began to discuss it endlessly, their words filled with accusations against Lu Cheng and dissatisfaction with the Dongyang Sect.

Elder Yuan's face was ashen, his chest heaving as he stared at Lu Cheng and demanded, "Lu Cheng, answer me! Why did you resort to such ruthless tactics?!"

"Elder Yuan, please accept my humble opinion." Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "This disciple was merely discussing the spirit of martial arts with two fellow disciples when this person made sarcastic remarks, the filth of which is beyond description."

"Considering that he was a guest, I did not wish to clash with him and stepped aside. Unexpectedly, he directly blocked my way and attacked me. I defended myself, and after being defeated, he became enraged and attempted to kill me."

"I realized that this person has entered the Body Refinement Realm and his strength is truly remarkable. In order to protect myself, I had to exert some of my strength when I resisted."

""

"I only used one palm strike from beginning to end. I had no intention of hurting anyone, let alone deliberately using any cruel methods."

"This point can be testified to by all those present, whether they are fellow disciples of this sect or from other sects."

""

As Lu Cheng finished speaking, those in the audience who had witnessed the entire event nodded in agreement.

Some even chimed in with "That's right,"

"I saw it myself, and it is indeed so," and so on.

All these words indeed prove that what Lu Cheng said was true.

Even more remarkably, Lu Cheng, despite his young age, possesses considerable strength, proving that the Dongyang Sect truly deserves its reputation as the number one sect.

Elder Yuan's originally ashen face gradually turned smug.

The two old men at Qingyang Gate turned pale, then flushed, and then their faces turned red.

Unable to contain himself, he pointed at Lu Cheng and roared, "Fine! So it's the fault of my Qingyang Sect!"

"If anyone is to blame, it's only because my Qingyang Sect disciples are not only less skilled but also arrogant and unreasonable!"

'

Elder Yuan realized what was happening in time, coughed, and said with a stern face: "Lu Cheng, no matter what, it is a fact that you injured someone. Qingyang Sect and my Dongyang Sect have a close relationship and are like two families. Your actions are tantamount to harming a fellow disciple."

"According to the sect rules, your meridians will be destroyed, and you will be confined to the Questioning Heart Peak!"

Lu Cheng suddenly turned to Elder Yuan, his eyes wide with anger: "Do the sect rules stipulate punishment without distinguishing right from wrong?"

Elder Yuan never expected that Lu Cheng, a teenager, would dare to talk back to him.

He was instantly enraged: "Disrespecting a superior is an even greater crime!"

'

"Considering the sect's celebration today, I'll give you some face for now. Now go back and stay in seclusion until further notice!"

Lu Cheng was instantly enraged.

Elder Yuan was clearly targeting me on purpose; he must have secretly conspired with Wan Chuan and the others.

But he calmed down in an instant.

His eyes swept across the entire Welcome Peak Square, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind:

At this time, having an attack will do you no good at all.

Not to mention Yun Lingzi and the other three.

He was not capable of dealing with the other elders and peak masters alone.

Going back to stay home and confine oneself is a good excuse.

They simply descended from Welcoming Peak and left, disappearing to the ends of the earth.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Let's get out of here first. When we've mastered martial arts, we'll come back and settle this score with this Elder Yuan.

And this Qingyang Gate thing, it needs to be dealt with too!

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng deliberately put on an expression of extreme resentment but having no choice but to submit.

He bowed and cupped his hands towards Elder Yuan, saying, "This disciple obeys."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Just then, in front of the main hall, Yun Lingzi slowly spoke and called out to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
