Boom!
Before anyone could react, an even larger sun erupted above Lu Baichi’s head.
The dazzling light suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire street as white as daytime itself. Among it, thunderstorms roared, and thunderous dragons surged out, shooting wildly in all directions.
At the same time, Yang Zhen’s voice came from mid-air. Swinging his massive hammer in a circular motion, he hit Lu Baichi’s hands with a thunderous crash, much like a large mountain.
“Eighty!”
Crack!
A sound of bone cracking rang out, Lu Baichi’s cry suddenly ceased. He fell heavily from mid-air, bouncing several times on the stone slab ground before collapsing into the rubble pit. He urgently somersaulted to his feet, jumped away, and looked towards the sky with a horrified and vigilant face.
Lu Baichi’s momentum hadn’t completely burst out when he felt a figure flitting by, appearing above his head.
The terrifying aura, like a mountain, bore down on him. Lu Baichi didn’t have time to respond and hastily raised his hands to block.
Who would have thought that Yang Zhen would strike so abruptly? In such a rushed situation, how could Lu Baichi withstand Yang Zhen’s full-force strike? He was promptly hit squarely, his arms ached faintly. He didn’t know whether his bones were shattered or not.
Everyone was stunned as they watched Yang Zhen frozen in mid-air, their hearts filled with shock, their backs drenched with cold sweat.
It’s an ambush, an ambush!
That’s too disgraceful, Yang Zhen is simply too disgraceful.
Lu Baichi’s cultivation method is definitely the type that gradually builds up power over time. The longer the time, the greater the power accumulates. Even in mid-air, the wild light as intense as the sun made everyone’s hair stand on end.
No one could imagine the kind of terrifying power that Lu Baichi could explode with once he harnessed all his strength.
But Yang Zhen, this shameless one, dared to ambush at this moment?
No one saw clearly how Yang Zhen made his move. His figure shook, and he came to Lu Baichi’s head, his huge hammer slamming down.
Disgraceful!
Everyone once again witnessed Yang Zhen’s shamelessness.
But why did he suddenly freeze again?
This was the perfect time to pursue victory; Lu Baichi wouldn’t even have time to react.
Lu Baichi grimaced and stared at Yang Zhen, his shocked and uncertain expression masking a rising anger, roiling and roaring like a raging fire.
Roar!
The next moment, the True Essence in Lu Baichi’s body burned like a raging fire, its wild posture making everyone’s hearts jump in fear.
“Despicable scum! Damn Yang Zhen, you’re a goner today, no one can save your life!”
Lu Baichi shouted, his body suddenly propelling towards Yang Zhen. The long sword suddenly erupted with a dazzling brilliance, like a bright sun, shining brilliantly.
Yang Zhen seemed to be still in a daze, and when he saw Lu Baichi nearly reaching him, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, “So that’s it, so that’s it. This is the real Chaotic Cyclone Hammer Technique!”
Boom!
Yang Zhen’s body also erupted with a dazzling thunderous light, and his large hammer suddenly made a deep sound, as if a giant elephant was stepping on a drum, making everyone’s hearts beat wildly.
“Big talk, go to hell!”
A clear cry pierced the heavens and earth, like a golden stone splitting rocks. Lu Baichi swung his sword, and a large bird formed by the consolidation of True Essence emitted an endless glow, rushing towards Yang Zhen.
At the same time, a strange force suddenly erupted from Lu Baichi’s body, engulfing Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen shuddered all over, looking at Lu Baichi with surprise. He didn’t expect him to also possess the power of Taoist details. However, this Taoist power was a bit strange, as if it were borrowed and not something he understood on his own.
Boom!
The hot True Essence wave rushed towards him, and the lifelike large bird, like a sharp sword, came to Yang Zhen’s face, rushing at Yang Zhen’s face.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and abruptly lifted his star iron hammer!
“Second strike!”
Boom!
A thunderbolt exploded, and thunder dragons surged, shooting in all directions, covering Lu Baichi’s entire body in an instant.
“Eighty!”
Rumbling!
The two forces collided, instantly pushing away the surrounding air. The surging wave swept across the heavens and the earth, shaking everything around it.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, the hammer fell on the long sword; the long sword instantly bent into an arc, sprang free suddenly, and Lu Baichi fell towards the ground.
“Impossible!”
Lu Baichi’s face drastically changed, eerily staring at Yang Zhen who was charging at him. Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards Yang Zhen.
Boom!
“Eighty!”
Boom!
“Eighty!”
As Yang Zhen’s constant shouts of “eighty” echoed around, Lu Baichi’s face became increasingly pale. He was repeatedly attacked by Yang Zhen, from mid-air all the way to the ground. Before he could even react to his stumble, another gigantic shadow was already crashing down on him.
“Eighty!”
Splat!
Lu Baichi vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, his sword-holding right hand began to tremble amidst his shocked expression.
At this point, if Yang Zhen wished, he could smash the Star Iron platform with a single swing of his hammer.
Facing Lu Baichi now, Yang Zhen didn’t hold back, each swing of his hammer was faster and more ferocious than the last: a relentless onslaught, a wild, overwhelming madness.
“How… How is this possible?”
“They are both in the Nascent Soul Stage, both among the prodigies of Heaven. So why does Lu Baichi seem to not even have a chance to fight back against Yang Zhen?”
“Is Yang Zhen… treating Lu Baichi like a piece of Star Iron, to be hammered?”
“Impossible, Lu Baichi has actually started spitting blood?”
Seeing Lu Baichi unable to hold on and spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, everyone was taken aback.
The scornful cat was lazily lying at the doorway, assessing the situation with a critical eye: “This is more like it, this is the feeling, yes, yes, yes. You are the lightning, you are the light, you say you are the only sun, crush him, ah, this swing could have been stronger.”
Boom, boom, boom!
Everyone was staring wide-eyed, their faces pale as they watched Yang Zhen’s hammer fall, again and again. Lu Baichi was almost smashed into the ground.
Yang Zhen had completely lost his mind. The look in his eyes revealed that he no longer saw Lu Baichi. It was as if he was looking at a piece of Star Iron; all he probably had in mind was hammering Star Iron.
Crack!
The bone in Lu Baichi’s right hand fractured. His hand drooping down, he looked at Yang Zhen with terrified eyes flashing a hint of despair.
“St… Stop!”
Lu Baichi gritted his teeth and uttered, unbeknownst if he could ‘wake up’ Yang Zhen who was sunk in madness; it was far better than being alive and being smashed to death by Yang Zhen.
To everyone’s surprise, indeed, after hearing Lu Baichi’s words, Yang Zhen stopped.
The power of the Chaotic Cyclone Hammer Technique was like waves, each one more powerful than the last. If it weren’t for the fact that the hammer in Yang Zhen’s hand was too normal, Lu Baichi would already be dead by now.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Zhen, carrying his huge hammer, walked over to Lu Baichi, squatted down, and stretched out his hand, saying: “Boss, let’s settle the bill.”
Lu Baichi’s face turned pale. His eyes were shining an intense, cold light, but he let out a cold snort and tossed eighty thousand crystal stones in front of Yang Zhen.
“You want crystal stones, right? Take all of these.” Lu Baichi was raging but acted quite honestly, looking pleadingly at Yang Zhen. He still couldn’t understand where he had failed.
He didn’t lack domain; his Martial Skills were even better than Yang Zhen’s. His Taoist details were even more horrifying than what Yang Zhen radiated.
This… It was almost impossible to lose!
Yet, he had suffered a complete loss, almost losing his life in the process.
Yang Zhen slapped Lu Baichi on his head, saying: “Are you trying to fob me off with this? It’s not enough!”
Lu Baichi gritted his teeth and said solemnly, “How… How much do you want?”
Yang Zhen curled his lips, saying: “I’ve said it before, eighty for one swing of the hammer, no more, no less. I swung thirty-six times just now. How much is that?”
“Two… Two thousand eight hundred and eight?” As Yang Zhen raised a hand to him, Lu Baichi hurriedly retracted some, pushing over the sum of two thousand eight hundred and eight crystal stones.
Yang Zhen slapped Lu Baichi on his head, fiercly asking: “Can’t you do maths?”
Everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Zhen blankly; Lu Baichi was even more dumbfounded, hesitating before saying: “No, that’s correct!”
Yang Zhen counted on his fingers, then said after calculating: “One swing of the hammer is eighty, and thirty-six swings total… that’s two million eight hundred and eighty thousand crystal stones, but we can forget the small change. Call it three million crystals, get them out!”
Everyone was shocked, utterly stupefied!
Lu Baichi was completely petrified, glaring at Yang Zhen furiously and indignantly, for a long time unable to utter a single coherent word..
