C18 Heaven Killing Style
"Xing, come back!"
Zhuang Dou and Ma Xiaoyan were terrified. Zhuang Xing's abilities were no match for Jia Du. But their shouts were clearly too late.
Across the way, Jia Du was momentarily taken aback by Zhuang Xing's attack, then burst into laughter.
"Little bastard, since you're seeking death, I'll oblige you."
Jia Du's fist clenched, and he lunged forward. A powerful fist force burst forth, barreling towards Zhuang Xing.
The two formidable attacks collided in an instant, unleashing a tremendous blast of air that whipped the currents into a frenzy.
"Your strength!"
After their fists met, Jia Du was astounded. When had Zhuang Xing acquired the ability to cultivate? And Zhuang Xing had even advanced to the Spirit Wheel Stage.
Jia Du had believed that Zhuang Xing's victory over his daughter was solely due to underhanded tactics.
Everyone else was equally astonished. Zhuang Xing was notoriously inept. Five years of cultivation had only taken him to the Qi Refining Stage Level Two Heaven. His talent was considered exceptionally weak. Yet now, he had unleashed a power characteristic of a Spirit Wheel Stage Expert, which was nothing short of miraculous.
"When did Xing make it to the Spirit Wheel Stage?"
Zhuang Dou looked at his wife, full of questions. Her bewildered expression told him she was unaware.
Zhuang Xing had been able to defeat Zhuang Shaoying, who was at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Three Heaven, even while he was at the Qi Refining Stage Level Nine Heaven. Now that he had broken through to the Spirit Wheel Stage, his strength must have improved. Zhuang Dou felt a measure of relief.
He was eager to see just how powerful his son had become.
"Little bastard, die!"
Jia Du bellowed, his fist morphing into a claw. He splayed his fingers, pouring immense power into his palm. A vicious claw wind hurtled toward Zhuang Xing's chest, aiming to shatter it.
The strike was cruel and could be fatal if Zhuang Xing was even slightly inattentive.
But Zhuang Xing was undaunted. With a faint smile and a loud cry, he lifted his hand and executed a masterful technique.
"Heaven Killing Style."
The Heaven Killing Style was a formidable technique Zhuang Xing had acquired in his past life. Its potency was immense. If he could master it completely, he would possess tremendous power. Previously, he was unable to employ this technique due to his insufficient cultivation level. Now, having advanced to the Spirit Wheel Stage, he was finally capable of wielding it.
With the release of the Heaven Killing Style, a fearsome force descended. The technique made the air around it tremble continuously. The overwhelming power surged relentlessly, carrying with it the might to obliterate anything in its path as it charged at Jia Du.
Jia Du's face paled. He could sense a terrifying power rapidly awakening within Zhuang Xing's move, realizing it must be incredibly potent.
Once the Heaven Killing Style was executed, a dazzling light arced through the sky. It bore a fierce might, like a ferocious tiger lunging savagely at Jia Du.
Jia Du's offensive hadn't even reached Zhuang Xing's chest when it was effortlessly neutralized by the Heaven Killing Style. Then, the technique, with its fearsome lethal force, bore down on Jia Du with relentless ferocity.
"Not good."
Jia Du cried out in alarm, retreating quickly in an attempt to evade.
But Zhuang Xing's move was overwhelmingly powerful. A terrifying force bore down on him, proving unstoppable.
Jia Du was struck squarely by the Heaven Killing Style. He let out a pained scream and coughed up a copious amount of blood. He then collapsed to the ground, no longer able to continue the fight.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned, their faces etched with astonishment. Jia Du, a Spirit Wheel Stage Level Four Heaven expert, had been defeated so swiftly. Zhuang Xing had ended the battle in just two moves, a feat that seemed beyond belief.
"Xing's strength is incredible!"
Even Zhuang Dou, who was somewhat familiar with Zhuang Xing's capabilities, was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Zhuang Xing's strength to be so formidable, easily overcoming the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Four Heaven expert, Jia Du.
"Xing's current strength has completely surpassed my own."
Zhuang Dou sighed, yet his heart swelled with pride. His son had outstripped him, and to him, that was indeed a cause for celebration.
"Brat, what kind of sorcery did you use to defeat Jia Du?"
Chai Shi bellowed in fury. His strength was on par with Jia Du's, both at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Four Heaven. He recognized Jia Du's formidable power, not something the average person could withstand, yet Zhuang Xing had managed to defeat him.
"I warned you that today would mark the downfall of both the Jia family and the Chai family."
Zhuang Xing had never regarded two cultivators of the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Four Heaven as a threat.
"You insolent kid, don't get ahead of yourself. Watch how I bring about your defeat."
Chai Shi was livid, the head of the Chai family. In Cloud Peak City, he was a man of great influence. But now, he was being scorned by a cultivator at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level One Heaven. To him, this was an unbearable disgrace. The only way to erase this dishonor was to defeat Zhuang Xing and leave him utterly humiliated.
"Heaven Killing Style."
Zhuang Xing let out a faint smile, raising his hand to execute the Heaven Killing Style. Advancing to the Spirit Wheel Stage had granted him a significant edge, allowing him to perform numerous formidable techniques, unlike the limited abilities at the Qi Refining Stage.
As he released the Heaven Killing Style, a torrent of power erupted, overwhelming like a surging river.
Chai Shi's attack stood no chance against the Heaven Killing Style, utterly ineffective. He was quickly torn asunder as the fearsome onslaught obliterated everything.
Zhuang Xing's attack, having decimated Chai Shi's, swiftly followed through. He lifted his hand and struck with a palm. The devastating palm force, carrying the power to annihilate all in its path, struck Chai Shi with brutal force.
Caught off guard, Chai Shi took the full brunt of the hit. He let out a wrenching scream, his body recoiling. Blood spurted from his mouth before he crashed to the ground, his once formidable aura now fading away.
Silence enveloped the scene. All eyes were wide with shock as they stared at Zhuang Xing, as if beholding a monster.
"He won. It's simply inconceivable."
"My goodness. He took down Jia Du and Chai Shi with such ease. His power is absolutely frightening."
"Indeed. At first, I thought his talk of wiping out the Jia and Chai families was all bluster, but I never imagined he'd actually defeat both patriarchs. And he did it so cleanly and effortlessly."
"What's most horrifying is that his actual cultivation level is just at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level One Heaven. To possess such formidable strength at that level, how immense must his talent be?"
The buzz of conversation filled the air.
"The Young Master's power?"
