Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 247 - 21 Assassination

Chapter 247: Chapter 21 Assassination

Lin Yuan’s voice fell.

It was like a heavy hammer fiercely striking everyone’s heart, causing their thoughts to almost come to a halt.

Shen Shuyan’s arrogance was evident, a prideful disciple of the Martial Academy.

Yet in Lin Yuan’s words, he was no different than a salted fish?

A prodigy standing above all guards, Lin Yuan somehow didn’t even regard him.

Everyone involuntarily felt an absurdity arise in their hearts.

Lin Yuan’s greatest reliance was Longbrow Daoist. But now, without Longbrow Daoist’s support, how could he protect himself?

Unanimously, the crowd’s gaze fell upon Shen Shuyan’s face.

Lin Yuan’s words seemed like a gentle breeze to him.

Shen Shuyan sneered, without a hint of anger: "A frog in the well, seeing the sky as big as a palm thinks it is the entire world."

In his view, Lin Yuan was on a completely different level from him. What status was he, and what status was Lin Yuan who just started cultivating qi paths?

To him, Lin Yuan’s words were like a stray dog barking madness at you, yet you wouldn’t go up and bite it.

But if you can’t bite, you can throw a stone or hit it with a stick.

Ultimately, it’s about making the stray dog feel pain, leaving it scared for life. Next time, just a glare should make it cower in its kennel, afraid to show its face.

"Lin Yuan, I can forgive your ignorance. You, a mere country bumpkin, are now a lord of authority, and flattered by sycophants like Ding Yu, have become complacent."

"But as your senior today, I will give you a proper lesson, to let you understand the harm of arrogance and ignorance."

As he finished speaking, his aura rose again, his qi nodes had begun to break down, and surging primordial power began flooding through his body.

"I’ve practiced martial arts for over twenty years, without stopping. I entered condensation at fifteen, formed qi paths at twenty, and six years later, I’ve condensed twenty qi nodes."

"You, a mere wild man from the backwoods, what do you have to fight with me?"

Shen Shuyan’s eyes suddenly revealed a strand of killing intent, and he suddenly stepped forward.

Crack!

The ground split about a foot deep, suddenly appearing. Containing abundant yuan energy, it swiftly attacked where Lin Yuan stood.

Boom!

Just as the crack approached Lin Yuan, it seemed blocked by some invisible force, and the two instantly collided with a booming sound.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly.

Shen Shuyan had condensed twenty qi nodes, yet he couldn’t match an Incense Guide; first, break his defense.

Such simple yuan energy manipulation, he nonchalantly defused Shen Shuyan’s offensive.

Those present exchanged looks once again, intense doubt immediately surfacing in their hearts.

Especially Shen Shuyan, though it was merely a probe, he couldn’t sense how Lin Yuan had struck.

Was there a master hidden behind?

Shen Shuyan couldn’t help but let yuan energy rush madly, sensing the residual energy waves.

But he found no trace.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuyan’s eyes revealed a coldness. Since someone will die to protect Lin Yuan, let them expose themselves to everyone, He Run was beside him, what should he fear?

Shen Shuyan moved again, instantly turning into a remnant image and disappearing from where he stood.

Lin Yuan was only three feet away, and he was instantly in front of Lin Yuan.

Taking down Lin Yuan, where would you hide!

Shen Shuyan’s right hand gripped the long sword, only clenched his left fist, and directly aimed at Lin Yuan’s face.

For someone like Lin Yuan, he was too disdainful to use a sword.

In everyone’s eyes, his left fist was like a red-hot iron, instantly becoming a flowing light, fiercely striking toward Lin Yuan’s face.

"This Shen Shuyan’s strength is incredibly terrifying; earlier I couldn’t see how he moved, and he already reached Lin Yuan’s side. Genius with twenty qi nodes, truly terrifying."

"Shen Shuyan, Shen Shuyan. It’s too exaggerated, condensing twenty nodes in six years, such cultivation speed, simply astonishing."

"With this move, not to mention Lin Yuan only has three nodes, even with ten nodes, I fear it wouldn’t withstand! I can barely see how he punches."

As Shen Shuyan punched, everyone was amazed.

He Run saw this and nodded slightly: "Junior Shen’s Flowing Light Fist is quite refined, even within the same level, without caution one would suffer a hidden loss."

"Let’s see who comes out from behind!"

He hadn’t detected the trace of anyone striking earlier.

Several of Gu Baoshi’s junior disciples saw Shen Shuyan’s movements, their eyes revealing caution.

Because, as they saw him punch, they sensed a great threat.

Xuri Martial Academy surely stands alongside their Qingmu Martial Academy in reputation.

Apart from Lin Yuan’s pretentious foolery, others truly cannot be underestimated.

As they spoke, Shen Shuyan’s punch burst forth and was about to hit Lin Yuan.

Whoosh!

An extremely concealed dagger suddenly shot from the crowd. With an urgent blast, carrying deadly intent, it aimed directly at Lin Yuan’s chest.

The sinister dagger, the angle extremely tricky. Like a lightning bolt, almost simultaneously with Shen Shuyan’s left fist about to strike Lin Yuan, it pierced his heart.

"Not good!"

He Run’s face suddenly changed; amongst those present, he had the highest cultivation, yet he smelled a conspiracy.

Someone trying to use him to kill Lin Yuan.

The one who struck evidently calculated his reaction time, giving him no chance to block.

And Gu Baoshi was beside him as an obstacle. Trying to intercept the dagger was evidently too late.

He Run’s face turned grim.

He knew better than anyone, Lin Yuan could hurt or insult, but mustn’t be killed.

If Lin Yuan died, it meant the struggle between Zheguang and Yunyin factions would be irreversible.

"Damn it, the one protecting Lin Yuan, still not taking action?" He Run widened his eyes, unable to sense any yuan energy fluctuation, grinding his teeth.

Shen Shuyan also felt a sharp aura rushing at him from behind.

"Humph." Shen Shuyan snorted coldly in his heart, thoughts like lightning: "Want to kill me, force me to stop attacking?"

"I, Shen Shuyan, wouldn’t be coerced by such methods!"

Thinking this, Shen Shuyan’s gaze turned colder, his left fist suddenly increased in force, ruthlessly striking Lin Yuan’s face.

"Junior Shen, stop the dagger behind." He Run transmitted urgently.

But it was too late.

"Lin Yuan, will die without a doubt. Could only find the murderer and account for Yunyin faction." He Run’s expression was solemn, about to dart towards Lin Yuan.

But the next moment, he suddenly halted, his firm face filled with astonishment.

Two thunderous attacks suddenly landed in front of Lin Yuan.

If ordinary martial artists fell instantly dead, especially with the sinister dagger carrying terrifying yuan energy.

Once it pierced the body, almost the entire chest would explode into a cavity.

Yet, all expectations went completely unexpected for those around.

Lin Yuan remained calm.

Left hand forming fingers into length, lifting gently, seemingly slow yet extremely swift. Just as Shen Shuyan’s punch force was about to burst, he blocked it directly.

Right hand horizontally across chest, index finger and middle finger lightly pinched.

Punch and palm met.

Boom!

The fierce yuan energy collision sounded swiftly. A strong whirlwind erupted at Lin Yuan’s right side.

Clinking.

Then a crisp sound. The dagger paused between index and middle fingers, crashing to the ground, producing a clear sound.

Left hand pinched, instantly dissolving all incoming punch force.

Then, gently twisted.

Crack, crack!

Shen Shuyan’s expression wildly changed.
