C37 Defeated
"I never imagined someone would actually take the fall for us. Bao Guangsha is truly foolish."
Yao Di and his group were gathered in an open area. At first, when they saw the Celestial Eagle Gang approaching, they feared their scheme had been uncovered. They were bracing themselves to explain the situation to Bao Guangsha, but to their surprise, he didn't suspect them at all. Instead, he directed his suspicions toward Zhuang Xing, which was utterly unexpected.
"Mr. Di, now we can return with confidence. Let those fools from the Celestial Eagle Gang and that simpleton duke it out. We're more than happy to let someone else take the blame for us."
Yao Di nodded in agreement; he was thinking the same thing.
"Lu Feng, Lu Ran, stay here and monitor every move of the Celestial Eagle Gang and Bao Guangsha. I'll head back and inform our father about this development. It'll surely bring him joy."
With the Golden Wolf Eagle gone and the major threat removed, not to mention someone else being set up to take the blame, the situation was incredibly satisfying and uplifting.
"Understood, Mr. Di."
Deep in the woods, an intense battle was raging.
"You've enraged me. I'm going to kill you."
Bao Guangsha bellowed in a rage. As one of the four young masters of Azure Sun City and a cultivator at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Seven Heaven, it was a severe disgrace for him to be repelled by someone merely at the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Three Heaven. He was determined to crush Zhuang Xing to pieces.
"Prepare to die."
With his fists seething with fury, Bao Guangsha let out a roar and launched a devastating punch. The sheer force was like a sledgehammer, causing the air to tremble violently with terrifying waves of power.
Clearly, Bao Guangsha was thoroughly provoked by Zhuang Xing, and he was sparing no effort to deliver a crushing blow.
"Counter with a heavy punch!"
As Bao Guangsha's vicious punch came hurtling towards him, Zhuang Xing was on high alert. He countered with a heavy punch of his own, unleashing a force as tumultuous as a bursting dam, obliterating everything in its wake.
Their attacks collided once more, unleashing a burst of energy so violent it was like the Milky Way itself had shattered in the heavens. The force surged, shaking the very foundation of the earth.
Bao Guangsha was astounded. He hadn't anticipated Zhuang Xing's fists to be so domineering. His own fist technique was formidable, yet in terms of sheer strength, Zhuang Xing was his equal.
The Celestial Eagle Gang disciples watched with eyes wide, struggling to believe what they were seeing. Bao Guangsha, their Young Lord, one of the Four Great Young Masters of Azure Sun City, and a powerful warrior of the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Seven Heaven, was not gaining the upper hand against Zhuang Xing. To see him repelled by a mere punch was beyond their comprehension.
"Have you had enough? Now it's my turn to attack," Zhuang Xing declared, a faint smile on his lips as he surged forward with the speed of lightning.
"He's incredibly fast," the onlookers exclaimed, never having witnessed such velocity. In a blink, Zhuang Xing had closed the distance to Bao Guangsha and unleashed a vicious onslaught.
Bao Guangsha was taken aback, not just by the overbearing nature of Zhuang Xing's punches, but also by the ferocity of his attack, swift and unrelenting like a bolt of lightning. In a frantic effort, he clenched his fists and shielded his chest, trying to fend off Zhuang Xing's relentless assault.
Despite bracing himself, Bao Guangsha was still sent reeling backward. Zhuang Xing's punches were simply too powerful, his strength unmatched and unrivaled.
Staggering, Bao Guangsha struggled to maintain his balance. Zhuang Xing's power was overwhelming. Although he had managed to block the brunt of the previous hit with his arms, the residual force left his blood and Qi in turmoil, threatening to burst forth uncontrollably.
"Damn it," he cursed under his breath.
Just then, as if carried by a swift wind, Zhuang Xing's fist came hurtling towards him once more. The fist force exploded with devastating intensity, threatening to obliterate all in its path as it bore down on Bao Guangsha mercilessly.
At last, Bao Guangsha's expression shifted. He realized the undeniable truth: Zhuang Xing's strength was immense, far beyond what he could withstand. Facing such a formidable adversary, he knew he was outmatched.
Bao Guangsha let out a scream as he stumbled backward.
"Chaos Shocking Spear!"
Zhuang Xing bellowed, unleashing the Chaos Shocking Spear in a sweeping motion that obliterated everything in its wake.
Bao Guangsha's face was a picture of terror. He was finally afraid. He had grossly underestimated Zhuang Xing's formidable power.
The spear, sharp and unyielding, carried a force that threatened to pulverize all in its path, and it bore down on Bao Guangsha mercilessly. Unable to evade, he was impaled by the spear, letting out a wretched cry as his body was hurled backward. He plummeted to the ground, blood trailing behind him in the air.
At that moment, the disciples of the Celestial Eagle Gang watched in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. They couldn't fathom how their Young Lord, whom they worshipped like a deity, had been vanquished by a cultivator at merely the Spirit Wheel Stage Level Three Heaven.
Zhuang Xing's smile was thin and icy as he gripped the Chaos Shocking Spear, advancing straight toward Bao Guangsha's chest.
By now, Bao Guangsha was gravely wounded, devoid of any strength to continue the battle, powerless against Zhuang Xing's onslaught.
"Don't kill me. My father will be here any moment. If you kill me, you won't escape death either."
Fear had gripped Bao Guangsha, a fear like he had never known before. His sole desire was to cling to life, everything else was inconsequential.
"The leader of the Celestial Eagle Gang?"
Zhuang Xing was aware that the leader of the Celestial Eagle Gang was named Bao Houdi, one of the four great tyrants of Azure Sun City. He was a true Spirit Sea Stage Expert, his prowess immeasurable.
Noticing Zhuang Xing's momentary pause, Bao Guangsha smirked inwardly. His father was a Spirit Sea Stage Expert; Zhuang Xing surely wouldn't dare to kill him.
"Kid, my father will be here shortly. If you value your life, get on your knees and kowtow to me a hundred times. I might just spare you. Otherwise, once my father arrives..."
