Chapter 269_2
A claw descended, heaven and earth were shocked, the cosmos was turned upside down!
Du Xingchen's pupils contracted in an instant, sharp as the tip of a needle, as each of his countless hairs stood on end. As someone who had achieved Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, at this moment, his entire back was drenched with cold sweat.
A deep sense of terror arose from his heart. In that moment, a voice, low and terrifying like the roar of a beast, seemed to echo in his mind.
Although it was a faint echo, for some reason, he felt the sound was immense, as if it exploded right within his heart, shattering his heart, his organs, to pieces!
A staff struck down, landing on the Copper Mirror, which was already cracked. At that moment, it shattered completely, its fragments falling from the sky.
Zhu Peng broke the Copper Mirror with a single swing, his momentum unabated, continuing towards Du Xingchen with the next strike.
Du Xingchen had never imagined that the treasure he had released, a divine weapon ranked in the top ten of his Immortal Sect, could be shattered under two blows from his opponent. Moreover, the beast roar that echoed in his heart had stunned him completely, and in the next moment, the staff was crashing down upon him.
"Stop!"
From a distance, Song Nianzhu saw the staff descending, alarmed, and shouted at the top of her voice, ready to intervene. But before she could move, the terrifying staff had already struck Du Xingchen on the head.
Instantly, a tremendous boom echoed from the heavens, followed by droplets of blood cascading from the sky.
With that single strike, Du Xingchen was reduced to nothing but dust!
Below, the people of the Eastern Border watched the falling blood, stunned into silence, like statues.
Was this not an existence who had achieved Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection? Was he truly killed just like that? And by a simpleton?
Is this really just a simpleton?
Could even a simpleton be so terrifying?
Moreover, wasn't Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection the highest combat power of the Reversal Mini Epoch Period? How could he be killed so easily?
They knew there were gaps between those who reached Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but they could never have imagined that the gap could be so vast!
At this moment, they even doubted what they were seeing, questioning if they were under some illusion.
Cao Zhen himself was shocked. This was the first time he had seen Zhu Peng make a move, and Zhu Peng's performance exceeded his expectations, being stronger and more ferocious than he had imagined.
It seemed that Zhu Peng's way of attacking was somewhat similar to that of Yan Yourong, Yan Yourong with a single slice, and Zhu Peng with a single strike.
However, the difference was that Yan Yourong's slice seemed even sharper, and her slices contained the power of the Five Elements.
Yet after Zhu Peng swung his staff, and continued attacking with relentless force, his second strike seemed even more powerful than the first; this was something Yan Yourong could not achieve.
In the crowd, Yang Yudong, although standing at a distance as a spectator, and not the one in combat with Zhu Peng, felt a chill run through his heart when he saw Zhu Peng's two consecutive staff strikes.
The power of Du Xingchen was likely stronger than his own. As Du Xingchen was so easily slain, what did it mean for himself? Would he not also be killed by two strokes?
How could this simpleton be so strong?
Such a powerful person was merely a disciple who had not completed Pill Fusion, possessing a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills? Just a disciple from the sect of the Hundredth Peak, ranked lowest among the peaks of the Immortal Sect?
It couldn't be true, it had to be false. If he were just a disciple of the Hundredth Peak, how terrifying then must the remaining ninety-nine peaks be!
This simpleton, amongst all the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection he had encountered and fought, perhaps only Song Nianzhu was capable of defeating him.
Even more so, he felt that even the Sect Leader of their Qingfeng Sect might not match this simpleton.
After all, their Sect Leader could not so easily shatter the Ancient Script Earth-controlling Mirror!
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother Xing Chen!"
As if one, a chorus of cries rang out, as the disciples of the Tianxing Sect called out, rushing towards the ashes scattered on the ground that had once been their brother.
With that blow from Zhu Peng, Du Xingchen had effectively received the strike with his flesh and blood body. Even with his lauded status, the strike broke his bones to splinters.
While some disciples searched for Du Xingchen's ashes, others from the Tianxing Sect quickly gathered the fragments of the Ancient Script Earth-controlling Mirror, a top ten ranked divine weapon in their sect. And the Scarlet Thunder Meteor Darts, now falling to the ground, were even higher ranked, within their top five.
Besides these, some Tianxing Sect disciples, faces filled with rage, looked up into the void at Zhu Peng and shouted, "You fool—"
Before the second word could escape his lips, the disciple suddenly remembered Zhu Peng's previous actions. Because Senior Brother Xing Chen called the opponent a fool, he was met with the threat of being beaten to death, and indeed, that was exactly what happened.
If even Senior Brother Xing Chen was killed, what chance did he have?
The disciple swallowed back the word that was on the verge of being shouted and turned his head to call out to Song Nianzhu, "Sister Song, he has killed our Senior Brother. You are in charge here, what do you have to say about this!"
Around him, hearing his words, other Tianxing Sect disciples also quickly reacted, loudly crying out, "Sister Song, please, we demand an explanation from our Tianxing Sect!"
