Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Battle
The letter was then sent to Han Jiang and the news of the challenge was spread to every corner of the city. This was done to ensure that he didn't reject the fight. This piece of news caused an uproar in the city, everyone was quite disappointed when Lu Zhen didn't show up for the previous match and now it was him who was initiating the challenge.
Although everyone knew that Lu Zhen would be crushed like an insect by Han Jiang, it would still be fun to watch him do it. Han Jiang responded a few days later and he had accepted the challenge.
The Five Elements Sect couldn't interfere even if they wanted to. The fight was also scheduled for a week later and would be hosted within the Sect's battlestage.
"How dumb can he be? I thought he valued his life but I guess I was wrong." Fairy Qin Biyu spoke to herself within the Palace. She was still thinking of looking for Lu Zhen and making him her personal bodyguard but now, all her plans are ruined, "I'll have to make a deal with Han Jiang when the time comes. Lu Zhen, you better be worth my time." she sneered then threw herself in the bed.
…
A week quickly passed and it was the day of the match, Old Slave and Mo Chao acted as coachmen while Lu Zhen and Mo Zhu stayed in the carriage. Mo Zhu rarely spoke, especially after what happened between her and Lu Zhen, she still remembers what Lu Zhen said to her, "Call me an insect again and I'll kill you." These words are still vivid in her mind.
Lu Zhen sat there with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. They soon reached the Sect grounds, it was crowded outside the Sect gates, there were disciples tasked with receiving them and they were quickly led to the battlestage.
The place was overcrowded with spectators, there was even a VIP place created for the disciples and a VVIP place created for Sect elders and important guests.
It was clearly obvious that today's match would be used as entertainment, no one took Lu Zhen or the Death Match seriously. Lu Zhen stood on stage with his hands behind his back, his purple robes fluttering in the air, he was calm and collected as if nothing could affect him.
Han Jiang slowly got on the stage, he was wearing white robes, his sharp gaze sizing Lu Zhen up and a sword that hung on his waist. "I didn't think you'd show yourself in the Holy City ever again but I don't mind, I'll make sure to properly enjoy your wife on your behalf, she's still pure right?" Han Jiang spoke like he knew Lu Zhen from long ago.
Lu Zhen had long stopped smiling, "I don't like people who covet my things especially my women, I've been thinking about how to kill you and..." Han Jiang interrupted him while he was still talking, "HAHAHA! Ways to kill me, I think you made a mistake here I..."
"Shut the fuck up! Don't interrupt me when I'm talking or I might just rip off that tongue of yours!" said Lu Zhen coldly. Han Jiang swallowed the words he was about to spout, he was momentarily scared of what Lu Zhen said, fear then turned anger. "LU Zhen, you dare?!"
"DARE OR DON'T DARE, WHO GIVES A FUCK!"
Swoosh!
Han Jiang appeared in front of Lu Zhen and sent a punch. The wind whistled as the punch struck Lu Zhen's chest.
Boom!
The shockwaves spread throughout the whole stage, "What?!" Han Jiang was flabbergasted and so was everyone else. A Mortal Shedding Realm took on a punch from a King Realm expert and didn't suffer any injuries, he didn't even move one step from where he stood, no one would believe such a story even if they were beaten to death.
Han Jiang's eyes were wider than those of owls, he couldn't believe it, he was a King Realm expert for crying out loud.
He then recovered and created distance between him and Lu Zhen, "I don't know what tricks you used but they won't work this time."
Han Jiang unsheathed his sword and Sword Aura spread all over. Everyone was amazed by his Sword talent, to comprehend Sword Aura at such an early age was definitely noteworthy. In the sword world, every sword cultivator has to comprehend Sword Intent, Sword Qi follows and is followed by Sword Aura and after that is Sword domain etc.
It is extremely hard to break through to Sword Aura, some sword cultivators even die without reaching this realm. 'Gods Fall! ' he unleashed a sword technique, a golden glow that was extremely sharp approached Lu Zhen at frightening speed, it reached him in a few breaths.
Boom!
This attack was extremely terrifying, no one below the King Realm would survive this attack, Han Jiang was sure that Lu Zhen was dead this time around, unfortunately for him, reality proved to be cruel, not only was Lu Zhen unscathed, Han Jiang's attack didn't even leave as much as a scratch on Lu Zhen's clothes. "IMPOSSIBLE! How can you be unscathed after my 'Gods Fall' attack! IMPOSSIBLE!"
"God's Fall? You mean to tell me that this measly technique of yours is supposed to slay Gods? Pathetic! As for the word "Impossible" ,it doesn't exist in the cultivation world. You have to know that us cultivators make the impossible possible, we change black to white and white to black, truth becomes lies and lies become truth, this is the way for us cultivators!"
Some of the spectators repeated Lu Zhen's words again and again to gain enlightenment while others were already in a trance, there was truth in Lu Zhen's words and this truth would help them increase their cultivation levels.
"I admit that you're strong but I'm stronger." said Han Jiang as his sword started burning, he was also a flame cultivator. His sword was then covered in flames, the temperature increased drastically. "You definitely won't survive this attack because it's a fusion of both my sword technique and flame technique.
This attack has enough power to destroy a city. You chose the wrong opponent Lu Zhen, NOW DIE!" Han Jiang executed his most powerful technique 'Burning Heavens, Severing Immortals.' a burning sword wave attacked Lu Zhen. The power within this sword wave was so strong that space almost broke. This was the true power of a King Realm expert. It was majestic and domineering.
