Chapter 403: Chapter 79: If you can take a punch from me and not die, I’ll spare your life!

Hearing Xiao Lie’s mockery, Xu Yuntao’s face turned pale gold with fury, nearly spitting blood once again.

Alas, inferior skills meant he could only swallow his humiliation in silence.

"Damn it! Why am I not just a little stronger!"

Xu Yuntao gritted his teeth, his tightly clenched fists turning blue, the shame weighing heavily on him.

Another Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect Disciple, his face dark as the bottom of a pot, glared at Luo Cheng and cursed bitterly:

"It’s all that Luo Cheng’s fault! No strength, no restraint! He dragged all of us down with him!"

After ridiculing Xu Yuntao, Xiao Lie turned his gaze to Luo Cheng and sneered coldly:

"Kid, I have to admit, your luck isn’t bad, having a senior stick up for you. But the insults you hurled at me earlier won’t be forgiven so easily! Slap yourself twice in the face and admit you’re nothing but a chicken and a dog. Then, I might spare you!"

No one expected Xiao Lie to be so overbearing.

But it made sense.

The Fierce Cloud Sect and Xuanyuan Sect had long been enemies, and Luo Cheng had completely humiliated the Fierce Cloud Sect in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! Their pride was utterly trampled!

How could Xiao Lie not seize this opportunity to strike back?

All eyes turned to Luo Cheng, eager to see how he would respond.

Liu Yifeng stood by, gloating, secretly snickering: Let’s see how your arrogance drags you into shame this time!

The Eldest Prince, Jin Tiandu, frowned slightly, just about to intervene.

At this moment, Luo Cheng slowly stood up, his sword at his side. Calm and composed, he stepped into the arena:

"Heh, you want me to slap myself and admit I’m wrong? You certainly think highly of yourself. However you injured my Xuanyuan Sect disciples today, I’ll repay it tenfold."

Luo Cheng’s face was emotionless, his voice icy to the extreme.

Hiss!

As the words dropped, everyone present was dumbfounded!

No one imagined that, even at this point, Luo Cheng would still dare to show such arrogance, openly provoking Xiao Lie!

Luo Yao’s eyes sparkled brightly. Her tongue flicked against her lips as an expression of anticipation spread across her face.

She had attended the banquet today for precisely this moment.

"Kid! Such bold and reckless words!"

"Audacious arrogance!"

Before Xiao Lie could respond, two other Fierce Cloud Sect Inner Sect disciples, infuriated by Luo Cheng’s words, stepped forward.

The towering Cao Yong glared at Luo Cheng, a sinister grin stretching across his face:

"You were just lucky enough to grab the first-place title at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, and now you dare act so wildly? To crush you, Xiao Senior doesn’t even need to lift a finger; I can take care of it with ease!"

Luo Cheng swept his gaze over the three of them, letting out a chilling laugh: "Just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Why don’t the three of you come at me together? Spare me the trouble of dealing with you one by one."

Luo Cheng initially only wanted to teach the trio a lesson.

But seeing them so bold and clueless, he decided he wouldn’t hold back anymore.

They could survive if they were strong enough; if not, their deaths would be their own fault!

After all, life and death in the clashes between sects had long been commonplace!

Cao Yong was so enraged he nearly exploded, turning to Xiao Lie and shouting, "Senior! Let me handle this brat! I’ll make him pay!"

Xiao Lie, too, was simmering with anger, but giving it more thought, he realized that as a Late Stage Awakening Vein Realm Second Layer cultivator, bullying a mere Xuanyuan Sect Outer Disciple—even if he won—would only invite criticism and accusations of picking on the weak. Better to let Cao Yong take care of him instead.

Cao Yong was at the Awakening Vein Realm First Layer Peak and had been cultivating in the Inner Sect for over a year. Defeating Luo Cheng would have been a sure thing.

"Fine, I’ll leave it to you. Since he’s so presumptuous, ignoring our dignity, don’t hold back!!"

Xiao Lie gave Luo Cheng a cold glare and turned to step away.

"Haha, don’t worry! I’ll make sure he knows his place—just who is truly the chicken and the dog!"

Cao Yong grinned sinisterly at Luo Cheng, cracking his knuckles menacingly. His voice carried a frigid chill:

"Kid, kneel down and apologize right now! If you don’t, I promise you’ll suffer ten times worse than Xu Yuntao!"

Boom!

As he spoke, a wild surge of Essence Energy erupted from Cao Yong. He seemed enveloped by a swirling mass of earthy-yellow wind, his aura crashing toward Luo Cheng like a tidal wave.

"Survive one punch, and I’ll spare your life!"

Luo Cheng stood his ground, his gaze resting on Cao Yong, utterly devoid of emotion.

"You’re a stubborn dead duck! Let’s see if your tough mouth can match my fists!!"

Cao Yong erupted in rage. His Essence Energy flared violently as he ignored the distance, leaping forward in a single step to close the gap. A powerful punch shot toward Luo Cheng, the yellow energy surrounding his fist tearing through the air in layers!

Luo Cheng remained motionless, appearing as though he had been petrified by the ferocity of Cao Yong’s attack.

Seeing this, Liu Yifeng smirked in disdain.

Yet, his smirk froze in an instant.

Bang!

A thunderous boom resounded through the garden like rolling thunder.

Cao Yong barely got close to Luo Cheng before an uncontrollable and terrifying force surged toward him.

Ah!!!

With a piercing scream, Cao Yong spewed a three-meter-high spout of blood skyward. At a speed ten times faster than he’d dashed in, his body flew backward, landing amid the garden scenery. His bones shattered with audible cracks as he slammed into a rockery, reducing it to dust. His body lay buried in the rubble, his fate unknown.

The entire garden fell deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Luo Cheng in disbelief.

"What just happened?"

Everything had happened so quickly, and so strangely! Many didn’t even comprehend what had transpired.

"Such speed! Such power! To defeat an Awakening Vein Realm First Layer Peak cultivator with one punch! This Luo Cheng has been hiding his strength deep!"

Those with sharper eyes gasped in awe.

They had seen it clearly: at the very last moment, Luo Cheng countered with a punch, overturning the entire situation!

Xiao Lie hadn’t even returned to his seat yet.

Seeing Cao Yong buried in rubble, he froze mid-step, stunned. After a brief pause, he turned back to stare at Luo Cheng, his pupils contracting violently:

"Awakening Vein Realm Second Layer, Early Stage!"

In that moment, Luo Cheng no longer concealed his presence.

The aura of an Awakening Vein Realm Second Layer cultivator swept across the entire area, saturating the air with pressure!

"Awakening Vein Realm Second Layer, Early Stage! Miss, am I... am I dreaming?"

A’Mu stared at Luo Cheng, her trembling fingers clawing at her robes.

She distinctly remembered that the first time she met Luo Cheng, he had been merely at the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer. She had mocked him then!

Yet in such a short time, he had surpassed her completely, reaching a level that required her to look up to him!

Luo Yao’s gaze remained fixed on Luo Cheng’s upright figure in the center of the garden. Her emotions stirred, her chest heaving slightly.

In this very moment, she finally understood the unique aura emanating from him.

It was the unshakable confidence that only a true powerhouse possessed!

"A’Mu, I might just have bet on the right horse..."

Luo Yao’s long lashes quivered as she stared at Luo Cheng, her eyes misted as though with a dreamlike haze. Her exquisite face sparkled with radiant joy!

The Eldest Prince, Jin Tiandu, looked contemplative.

When Luo Cheng had participated in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, he surely hadn’t been past the Tongxuan Realm. Could it truly be possible that he broke through two realms in a single month?

Turning his gaze toward Luo Yao, Jin Tiandu seemed lost in thought.

Ignoring all the stunned gazes, Luo Cheng’s overwhelming aura enveloped Xiao Lie and the other Fierce Cloud Sect Inner Sect disciple. His tone was indifferent:

"If I say you’re nothing but chickens and dogs, then that’s all you are! Both of you come at me, together. Save me the time of dealing with you individually!"
