C27 Sixjoint Palm

Ma Zhou's expression turned grave. He sensed a formidable power emanating from Zhuang Xing's move—a power so immense that if he didn't respond properly, he might even be defeated.

His body shook, and suddenly, a long blade materialized in his hand. The moment the blade appeared, a piercing blade light filled the air, surging upward, challenging the heavens.

"Ma Zhou has actually resorted to a Spirit Treasure."

"Is his power truly that fearsome? To push Ma Chao to such a limit that he's even wielding a Spirit Treasure."

"With Ma Zhou's prowess combined with the Spirit Treasure, he'd boldly take on a challenger from the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Six Heaven."

The crowd was astounded. They sensed that this battle might not be as straightforward as they had imagined. It was likely to be a fiercely contested fight.

"You should feel honored that I've drawn my Blizzard Blade," Ma Zhou declared, his presence intensifying and his confidence surging. Regardless of Zhuang Xing's strength and skill, he would not stand a chance.

"However, this is where you meet your end. From now on, I will dominate the fight."

Gripping the long blade, Ma Zhou unleashed a slash. A potent blade qi formed a crimson torrent, carrying with it the might to obliterate all in its path as it barreled towards Zhuang Xing.

"You think you can dominate me?" Zhuang Xing asked with a slight smile. If Ma Zhou thought he could suppress him with just a blade, he was sorely mistaken.

Zhuang Xing raised his hand and delivered a crushing Heaven Killing Style, barreling towards Ma Zhou.

The fierce blade qi and the Heaven Killing Style met in a cataclysmic clash under the watchful, horrified eyes of the onlookers.

In that moment, the very fabric of the cosmos seemed to shift. A ferocious energy burst forth, unleashing a devastating force that shattered everything in its wake.

"Six-joint Palm."

Without pause, Zhuang Xing executed another technique, his relentless assault continuing with the Six-joint Palm, a skill of tremendous might.

The Six-joint Palm erupted, causing space itself to quake and thunder. The formidable palm force reverberated through the heavens and earth.

"This is bad," Ma Zhou thought, his face paling at the sight of the descending palm force. Zhuang Xing was indeed an enigma. His attacks were fierce, commanding, and utterly unstoppable.

"One Saber Slash."

The young man in purple gripped his long saber and unleashed a slash. A powerful burst of blade qi erupted as he attempted to fend off Zhuang Xing's assault with his saber.

Zhuang Xing's lips twisted into a smirk. Clenching his fist, he charged forward, his fist force exploding with ferocity. This punch seemed as though it could obliterate anything in its path.

Yet another vicious attack. Ma Zhou's face registered shock and fear. Such relentless, powerful strikes were impossible to withstand.

But Ma Zhou was no ordinary man. In this pivotal moment, he gripped his long saber, ready to confront Zhuang Xing's fierce attack.

Zhuang Xing's punch connected squarely with the saber. A tremendous force surged through the blade, shaking Ma Zhou to his core and forcing him to retreat repeatedly, unable to counter.

At this moment, everyone was left speechless. They had not anticipated Zhuang Xing's strength to be so formidable. He was holding his own against Ma Zhou, a Spirit Wheel Stage Level Five Heaven Expert, and seemed to even have the upper hand.

How could this be?

Ma Zhou stumbled dozens of steps back before regaining his footing. He examined his long blade and noticed a deep fist imprint on it. The mark was so profound it appeared etched into the metal.

"His fist strength is horrifying."

Ma Zhou was utterly astonished. His blade was a Spirit Treasure, known for its incredible hardness. Not even experts at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Seven Heaven or Level Eight Heaven could leave a scratch on it. Yet Zhuang Xing had managed to do so, leaving Ma Zhou both shocked and in awe. The sheer power of Zhuang Xing's fist strength had far surpassed his expectations.

Zhuang Xing offered a cold smile. He brandished the Chaos Shocking Spear, creating a whirlwind of movements as endless spear light filled the air. His relentless assault bore down on Ma Zhou, giving him no respite.

"Spirit Treasure."

Ma Zhou's expression turned grim. He hadn't anticipated Zhuang Xing to possess such a formidable weapon as the Spirit Treasure.

"Crazy Blade Slash."

With a thunderous cry, Ma Zhou's presence surged as he gripped his long blade and brought it down in a mighty slash. The fearsome blade force cascaded like a shattered celestial river, savagely sweeping toward his adversary.

Spear light clashed with blade qi, the qi strength intertwining and unleashing a violent aura that burst forth like a tempest.

"Heaven Killing Style."

Zhuang Xing offered a faint smile. Masterfully multitasking, he executed another powerful Heaven Killing Style. The move's ferocity was akin to the relentless flow of a mighty river.

"Damn."

Panic gripped Ma Zhou's heart. In his haste, he swung his blade in resistance, his slash aimed at shattering everything in its path. However, at that moment, Zhuang Xing's right hand swept the Chaos Shocking Spear through the air, its spear light striking like lightning, shattering all in its wake.

Fear took hold of Ma Zhou. He had grossly underestimated Zhuang Xing's formidable strength. With an arsenal of relentless and unblockable attacks, Zhuang Xing was a force to be reckoned with.

His piercing spear, carrying the might to obliterate all, charged mercilessly forward. Ma Zhou, unable to evade, was struck by the spear. He let out a pained scream as his body was sent flying backward, blood trailing behind him before he crashed to the ground, his life force extinguishing in an instant.

A profound silence fell over the scene.

Eyes wide with shock, the onlookers could hardly believe what they had witnessed. It was inconceivable that Ma Zhou, a Spirit Wheel Stage Level Five Heaven Expert, had been defeated by a cultivator of merely Spirit Wheel Stage Level Two Heaven.

The arena erupted into chaos the next moment.

"He won, he actually won!"

"I can't believe it, he actually defeated Ma Zhou."

"With a cultivation level of Spirit Wheel Stage Level Two Heaven, he took down a Spirit Wheel Stage Level Five Heaven Expert. How fearsome must his talent be?"

"It turns out we were all mistaken. It wasn't an issue with the identity card; the man truly is that skilled."

"Indeed."

The crowd was abuzz with conversation, unable to fathom that Ma Zhou, a Spirit Wheel Stage Level Five Heaven Expert, had been bested by someone of Spirit Wheel Stage Level Two Heaven.

"Xing has won."

Zhuang Dou's eyes were wide with disbelief at the sight before him. He had been fraught with worry during the duel, fearful of Zhuang Xing's defeat. But now, it seemed his concerns were unfounded—Zhuang Xing's strength had vastly surpassed his expectations.

Zhuang Dou couldn't help but laugh. He was confident that with Zhuang Xing by their side, the Zhuang family was sure to secure exceptional results in this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking Great Competition.
