C4 Broken Arm

"If you want to be a hero, you need to know your limits," Feng Gan's eyes were full of disdain.

He didn't believe Hua Hsing could escape from him. Although the Azure Edge Sword Sect forbade disciples from killing each other, crippling Hua Hsing's abilities was still within his power.

Two weeks ago, Feng Gan had tricked Hua Hsing into a life-and-death duel. He intended to kill Hua Hsing. While he couldn't kill him outright in the Outer Sect courtyard, injuring him during a match was perfectly acceptable.

"That's not for you to decide."

Hua Hsing could sense a hint of murderous intent in Feng Gan's eyes. Feng Gan wanted him dead. Hua Hsing saw no reason to appease someone like that.

"Hua Hsing, if I don't leave you crippled today, I won't have the face to stay in the Azure Edge Sword Sect."

Feng Gan sneered, clenching his fist as all his strength gathered into it. He swung his fist at Hua Hsing with force equivalent to nearly 600 pounds, almost reaching 900 pounds.

Two roars echoed across the courtyard. Following the roars, an overwhelming force burst forth. Feng Gan's Body Refining Fist had reached the sixth level. He was at the peak of Qi Refining Stage Level Two.

Hua Hsing's dark eyes lifted. Seeing Feng Gan's attack, a smirk appeared at the corner of Hua Hsing's mouth. Instantly, he clenched his fists tightly and swung them out with force.

Two roars echoed, but the ones coming from Hua Hsing were nowhere near as powerful as Feng Gan's.

"I thought you had some real skills. Turns out, you only have the strength of two oxen?"

Feng Gan immediately noticed that Hua Hsing's Body Refining Fist wasn't as formidable as his own.

The two fists collided with a thunderous crash. Just when everyone thought Hua Hsing would be defeated, something unexpected happened.

Both fighters stepped back three paces. This scene even left Feng Gan a bit surprised.

"You actually managed to withstand my attack?"

Feng Gan scrutinized Hua Hsing closely, trying to figure out how he had managed to hold off his assault.

The plaza buzzed with whispers. Many disciples were quietly discussing the spectacle.

At this moment, Hua Hsing felt a slight pain in his fingers. Though his face remained expressionless, he silently marveled at the strength of someone at the peak of Qi Refining Stage Level Two.

The reason he could use his Body Refining Fist at level five to withstand Feng Gan's level six was that, at the critical moment, his golden heart pulsed, releasing a refreshing surge that boosted Hua Hsing's strength dramatically.

Feng Gan's strength was formidable. However, Hua Hsing thought to himself, "If I unleash my One-qi Sword with full force, I won't be afraid."

Feng Gan was furious. "You're lucky you could withstand my punch. But now, I'll unleash my most powerful attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword appeared in Feng Gan's hand. He gripped it tightly, and the sword hummed with energy. "Azure Sky Sword Technique," he shouted, swinging the sword with a fierce motion. The sky filled with dazzling sword lights, creating a terrifying spectacle.

"Oh my gosh, Hua Hsing actually forced Feng Gan to use the Azure Sky Sword Technique. How did he manage that?"

"Could it be that Hua Hsing has had a breakthrough and his skills have improved?"

"There's no way he can withstand the Azure Sky Sword Technique."

Many were amazed by Hua Hsing's abilities, but when Feng Gan unleashed the Azure Sky Sword Technique, they all sided with him. The Azure Sky Sword Technique was a standard skill, far more powerful than Hua Hsing's One-qi Sword.

In the Azure Edge Sword Sect, only those who reached Qi Refining Stage Level Two could choose a standard skill. Previously, Hua Hsing was only at Qi Refining Stage Level One, so he could only practice the One-qi Sword.

The sky was filled with the brilliance of the sword light.

Upon witnessing the scene, Hua Hsing's eyes narrowed. Immediately, he gripped his long sword and unleashed the One-qi Sword technique.

First level of the One-qi Sword.

In the blink of an eye, Hua Hsing executed the first level of the One-qi Sword. Although it was considered a basic technique, Hua Hsing had already mastered it to perfection.

The sword light from the One-qi Sword clashed heavily with Feng Gan's, holding its ground for a moment before shattering.

"It's over," Feng Gan roared, pushing the Azure Sword Technique to its limit. He aimed to sever one of Hua Hsing's arms.

Everyone in the square thought the battle was about to conclude.

However, Hua Hsing hadn't conceded yet. This was just the beginning.

Second level of the One-qi Sword.

Over the past two weeks, Hua Hsing had been diligently practicing the One-qi Sword. Just a few days ago, he had completed the second level of training.

At this moment, Hua Hsing unleashed the second level of the One-qi Sword. Simultaneously, his golden heart beat rapidly a few times.

Instantly, a refreshing energy flowed into the sword light, causing its momentum to surge.

"He's impressive for mastering the second level of the One-qi Sword. Unfortunately, he can't defeat Senior Brother Feng."

"Yeah, there's no way he can beat Senior Brother Feng."

In the sky, two sword lights faced each other from a distance. At that moment, Hua Hsing's aura surged dramatically.

It was only then that Feng Gan realized Hua Hsing had reached Qi Refining Stage Level Two.

"Hmph, so what if you're at Level Two? I'll still defeat you," Feng Gan sneered, directing his sword light in the sky to strike heavily at Hua Hsing.

The two sword lights collided, sparking an explosion of light. The One-qi Sword couldn't withstand Feng Gan's attack. However, as the One-qi Sword wavered, a clear stream emerged from within.

When that stream appeared, Feng Gan's sword light shattered instantly. He was in disbelief.

Hua Hsing didn't give Feng Gan a chance. He stepped forward, unleashing the full power of Qi Refining Stage Level Two. With the aid of his Golden Heart, Hua Hsing's sword swung continuously, sending out wave after wave of sword light.

"I won't lose."

In an instant, Hua Hsing's attack was upon Feng Gan. His expression changed drastically, and he let out an angry roar.

"Azure Sword Technique!" Feng Gan shouted, attempting the technique again. Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand Hua Hsing's assault.

Feng Gan unleashed countless sword lights, but when the final one appeared, his body was sent flying. His sword clattered to the ground.

At that moment, Hua Hsing stood like a war god in the square, surveying everything around him. The silence was palpable. Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide as they took in the scene.

Hua Hsing had defeated Feng Gan, who was at the peak of Qi Refining Stage Level Two. How could this not be shocking?

"Oh my God. Is this real? Did Hua Hsing really beat Feng Gan?" This was the thought running through everyone's mind.

Feng Gan lay on the ground, coughing up blood, his face pale as he looked at Hua Hsing. He couldn't comprehend how Hua Hsing had defeated him with just the One-qi Sword.

Hua Hsing walked heavily toward Feng Gan, raising his long sword.

"Hua Hsing, what are you doing?" Feng Gan roared in anger.

"Didn't you just say you were going to cripple me?" Hua Hsing replied.

"Hua Hsing, let’s end the fight here. I won't trouble you anymore," Feng Gan said.

Hua Hsing shook his head slightly. It seemed Feng Gan still hadn't grasped the situation.

The sword flashed, and Feng Gan let out a wretched scream as blood splattered everywhere.

The crowd looked on and saw a fresh wound on Feng Gan's body.

"Ah, Hua Hsing, how dare you hurt me," Feng Gan cried out in agony.

"Hua Hsing, let Senior Brother Feng go. Let's just call it even."

"Hua Hsing, Senior Brother Feng has already lost," a few of Feng Gan's friends pleaded.

Fang Chen's face was cold as ice. He said grimly, "If I lose, do you think he'll let me go?"

Faced with Fang Chen's question, they fell silent, lowering their heads. They knew if Fang Chen lost, he'd be left crippled.

"Don't worry. We're in the square; I won't kill you. But I'll take an arm first," Fang Chen spoke again.

"Fang Chen, you can't harm me. Senior Brother Wen won't forgive you," Liang Yong, severely injured and unable to fend off Fang Chen's attack, shouted in terror as Fang Chen moved to sever his arm.

"Hmph, no one can save you now," Fang Chen said coldly, raising his sword.

"You better stop right there."

Just as Fang Chen was about to strike, an annoyed voice came from a distance. Two people approached.

Liang Yong was relieved and shouted, "Senior Brother Wen, help me!"

"I want his arm."

Without turning back, Fang Chen swung his sword, slicing into Liang Yong's shoulder. Instantly, Liang Yong's arm was severed.

Senior Brother Wen hadn't expected Fang Chen to dare cut off Liang Yong's arm right in front of him. He wanted to help Liang Yong, but it was too late.

Liang Yong screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground.

The atmosphere in the square suddenly froze. Everyone stared in shock at Hua Hsing.

"He actually cut off Feng Gan's arm right in front of Senior Brother Re."

"Yeah, Senior Brother Re is a master. His strength has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage Level Three. Hua Hsing is no match for him."

"He's done for. He just managed to shake off the reputation of being a failure, and now Senior Brother Re is going to ruin him."

When Re Yunzheng appeared, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

Just as Re Yunzheng was about to explode with anger, a grating voice came from beside him.

"Senior Brother Re, why don't we just kill him?"
