Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 48 - 48 48 Just So-so

48: Chapter 48: Just So-so 48: Chapter 48: Just So-so “What a pity, that movement technique and swordsmanship must have been left to him by that old man.

If I could obtain it for my own use, our Lin household’s strength might become even more superior,”

Lin Chengyun’s eyes were filled with greed.

This sort of movement technique and swordsmanship was something he had long been dreaming of.

“Young master, rest assured, when that kid is about to be beaten to death by the Law Enforcement Elder, if you speak up, the Law Enforcement Elder will certainly show you some respect.”

Lin Ye hurriedly offered his flattery at the side.

“That’s true.

Not bad.

Let’s first watch how this kid gets tormented by the Law Enforcement Elder,”

Lin Chengyun said with a cold sneer, watching the battle on the Life and Death Platform.

Under the Law Enforcement Elder’s fierce assault, Chu Fengmian’s figure kept flickering; however, the Law Enforcement Elder’s movements were not slow at all.

Every time Chu Fengmian dodged, he could catch up in no time.

“It seems that using movement techniques is no longer working against this Lin Chengyun,”

Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

“If that’s the case, let’s compare strength then!”

“Battle Dragon!”

With a roar in his heart, the bloodlines within Chu Fengmian’s body began to surge.

That drop of golden blood suddenly merged into Chu Fengmian’s bloodstream, instantly causing Chu Fengmian’s form to swell several times over.

“Battle!”

With a roar, Chu Fengmian threw a punch at the Law Enforcement Elder.

This time, the head-on collision of both full-bodied powers meant that the Law Enforcement Elder’s punch actually met Chu Fengmian’s fist without any advantage.

The two powers were almost equal.

“What!”

“How is that possible!”

“How could Chu Fengmian suddenly become so much stronger!”

The Chu Fengmian who was just barely escaping under the Law Enforcement Elder’s punches could now evenly withstand a punch from the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Lin Shi, don’t you claim to have Iron Fists?

Today, Chu Fengmian wants to see whether your fists are harder, or mine are harder!”

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly and threw another fierce punch.

“Insolent junior!”

The Law Enforcement Elder also snorted coldly, delivering another punch.

The two men exchanged punch after punch in the middle of the Life and Death Platform.

This battle had no skill; it was a pure clash of both their strength and their reserves of Spiritual Power.

Every punch thrown depleted their own Spiritual Power, to see who would run out of stamina first.

“It looks like Lin Shi is winning,”

murmured the head of the Lin household, speaking in a low voice.

Comparing strength, the fact that Chu Fengmian, at the first level of Body Forging realm, could match Lin Shi at the eighth level was already an astonishing matter.

Just on this point alone, Chu Fengmian was already enough to be the number one person among the younger generation of the Lin household, unsurpassed by anyone.

But even if their strength was evenly matched, there was a vast difference in their foundation of Spiritual Power.

Lin Shi at the eighth level of the Body Forging realm had Spiritual Power that was countless times more abundant than Chu Fengmian at the first level.

When it came to a clash of Spiritual Power, Chu Fengmian was bound to be defeated without a doubt.

Not only did the head of the Lin household understand this, but the third elder also knew it, his gaze hesitant and ready to intervene at any moment.

But the nearby head of the Lin Clan had already noticed him and approached him in an instant, leaving no opportunity for him to make a move.

“Chu Fengmian, that boy, is too arrogant!

Today, he must be humbled to understand that the Lin Clan is not a place where he can act so presumptuously.”

The head of the Lin Clan said with a cold voice.

“This boy has too many resources at his disposal; it seems that old geezer left him quite a bit.

If we don’t teach him a lesson now, he might become uncontrollable for the Lin Clan in the future.”

“Lin Yan, rest assured, as long as he is willing to surrender those swordsmanship and movement technique and swear loyalty to our Lin Clan, I won’t kill him.”

The words of the head of the Lin Clan sounded like a conversation, but more like an order.

In the Lin Clan, the supreme command, any of his words, within the Lin Clan, were the truth.

“Hmph.”

Although the head of the Lin Clan was conversing with the third elder, Chu Fengmian still overheard it.

Having opened his Divine Veins, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power was not only endless, but his communication with the earth’s veins also greatly enhanced his senses, far exceeding those of ordinary people.

Naturally, he heard the head of the Lin Clan’s words very clearly.

“Do they all think that this Lin Shi could defeat Chu?

Then let them see for themselves!”

Chu Fengmian’s eyes shifted, and the Spiritual Power within his body suddenly became even more vigorous.

He threw another punch at the Law Enforcement Elder.

This punch was even more powerful than the one before.

“What’s going on with this boy?

It’s been close to ten minutes, and my Spiritual Power is already more than half depleted, yet he still seems to have Spiritual Power?”

As each of Chu Fengmian’s punches became stronger, the Law Enforcement Elder became increasingly nervous.

Logically, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power should have been exhausted by now.

Where was he getting such an abundant supply of Spiritual Power?

“Just a first-level Martial Artist in body tempering stage, I’ll have to see just how much more Spiritual Power he has!”

The Law Enforcement Elder clenched his teeth, releasing all his Spiritual Power, and matched every punch with his greatest strength.

He refused to believe that Chu Fengmian could hold on much longer; if he could just outlast until Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power was exhausted, victory was sure to be his.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes passed.

Another ten minutes had gone by, and the Law Enforcement Elder’s Spiritual Power was close to being fully depleted.

However, Chu Fengmian opposite him still appeared calm, and with each punch, the force seemed even stronger than before.

The Battle Dragon Technique, based on the ancient battle dragons, was a method created to emulate the true combat race born for battle.

Now, with the condensed essence of the battle dragon’s blood within his body, Chu Fengmian essentially had the bloodline of a battle dragon, his nature akin to a humanoid battle dragon.

The power of each punch grew stronger, revealing him as a true combat prodigy.

“Can’t hold on much longer?”

At the moment of delivering the final punch, Chu Fengmian even smiled.

In this tense battle, where ordinary Martial Artists could barely catch their breath, Chu Fengmian still found the strength to smile.

That smile, full of mockery.

Seeming to mock the Law Enforcement Elder for running out of Spiritual Power.

“Body tempering stage eight, is that all?”

Chu Fengmian’s face remained calm as he spoke, making the Law Enforcement Elder feel like spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He had not held back at all, fighting Chu Fengmian with all his might, yet here he was, exhausted, while Chu Fengmian still looked so at ease.

“Is this guy a monster?

Yes, he must be a monster, a demon lord—otherwise, he could not possibly possess such strength!”

Once this thought occurred to the Law Enforcement Elder, it spread wildly in his mind.

The Law Enforcement Elder could not believe that he would lose to a junior at the first level of body tempering stage.

This idea alone provided him some consolation.
