Chapter 17: Five Explosive Punches
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The foreign clans!”
Lin Zhennan looked at the Xianghuo Faction Leader, who had suddenly transformed, with a solemn expression.
He tried to continue his assault, but all the power he launched was swallowed up completely like mud in a sea.
“Hmph!”
“I originally wanted to take down the Lin family and use the Lin Commandery as the foundation for my clan. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this!”
“Forget it. Just eat until you’re full, then we’ll talk about other things.”
Ah…!
Outside the city, half of the Xianghuo Faction followers let out shrill howls.
Suddenly, as if their bodies had spontaneously combusted, they were rapidly burned to a crisp, and plumes of black smoke emerged from them.
“Messenger, everyone!”
Faced with such an alarming turn of events, the expressions of the troops from the Anti-Lin Alliance darkened drastically.
The Xianghuo Faction was actually all from foreign clans.
1
This was something they had never expected!
They were from the foreign clans!
Once news of today’s events gets out, all of them who participated would have no way of surviving in the Xia Kingdom.
The king would order for all of them to be killed.
Colluding with the foreign clans was an unforgivable sin, and no one would listen to their explanation.
“Don’t look at me, I didn’t know either!”
The silver-masked messenger was also terrified, shaking his head repeatedly.
He was a regular human.
He just played a role in which he led those on the outside to charge into battle and break through the enemy’s frontlines.
The core members of the Xianghuo Faction were from the foreign clans, but they could not use their full strength easily. Once they used their full strength, they would definitely be exposed, so they had subdued many powerhouses to do their bidding for them.
At this moment, their clan leader had been exposed, so naturally, there was no need for them to hide any longer.
The Anti-Lin Alliance was sent into a frenzy.
The foreign clan members had started attacking them.
The foreign clan members seemed to feed on the people’s hearts, and the victims did not know what methods were being used against them.
The martial artists of the Anti-Lin Alliance found that they could not defend themselves against these foreign clan members and were slaughtered one-sidedly.
Their hearts were dug out—they turned out to be black—and were swallowed by the foreign clan members to increase their own strength.
And now.
Toward the city walls.
Several monstrous figures moved at the same time, flying up and breaking open the formation arranged by the Lin family, then they surrounded Lin Zhennan in unison.
“Lin Zhennan, I don’t know how you managed to survive, but that doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Because today, you must perish!” the Xianghuo Faction Leader said solemnly.
Today, they had no choice but to reveal their true identity, so they could no longer stay in the Xia clan.
This was a good place.
He once thought that this was the place where their clan could resurge.
To this end, he had been cautious again and again, planning every last detail before putting it into action.
He never took any risks.
Unfortunately, he did not expect that everything would fall at the hands of a dead person.
How detestable.
…
At the same time.
The Xia clan, the heart of the Imperial City, observatory.
An old man who had been seated drowsily in a reclining chair raised his head abruptly, his eyes flashing brightly, and he looked at a Topographical Diagram of the Kingdom not far in front of him.
“How dare they! Five foreign clan demi-kings.”
He stood up and stepped out of the observatory.
…
“Today, we slaughter this city!”
The Xianghuo Faction Leader let out these harsh words.
Chu He, who had already been very annoyed by the demonic Qi fumes from a distance, became furious after hearing this!
What was this!
The odor from your body was already one thing!
1
Now you also want to massacre the city?
You want to disrupt me from punching in my checkpoint???
Such a speech made Chu He, who had been feeling indifferent, now feel intense anger in his heart.
Since there was this fury in his heart, he would of course have to let it out.
It was not good to bottle these things up, after all.
Chu He clenched his palms into fists and delivered five consecutive punches.
Nine Tribulations of the Divine Fists.
He did not unleash his full strength for this attack, only the amount of power a demi-king should possess.
The power of his punches rose with the wind and tore through space as it traveled.
In an instant, the demonic Qi that enveloped Lin City dissipated, and was enveloped by an even more terrifying aura.
A great sense of terror gripped everyone’s hearts.
The ones who felt it the strongest were the five foreign clan demi-kings as well as Lin Zhennan.
They were the strongest, so the feeling was the most intense for them.
This aura that suddenly appeared out of nowhere gave him the sense of a fatal crisis.
They turned their heads and simultaneously looked in the direction that the aura came from.
And then—
They saw the image of five golden fists that were increasingly growing in size, piercing through space and heading straight at them.
The fists looked like they were moving really slowly.
However, the five foreign clan demi-kings, who were the targets of the attacks, were surprised to find that when they felt the fists approaching them, they could not move when they tried to evade the attack.
A suppressive force that struck terror in their souls rendered them only capable of helplessly watching as the fists slowly smashed into their bodies.
How terrifying!
How extremely terrifying!!!
This was the great horror that suppressed them on a spiritual level!
“No!”
“Why is there such a terrifying existence here!”
“This aura!”
“An Ultimate Demi-King!”
An Ultimate Demi-King was an existence that could rival that of a genuine king. It was a power that could subdue all clans in this barbaric land.
These individuals had already begun to comprehend the will of martial arts.
This was the difference between them and ordinary demi-kings.
With the boost from the will of martial arts, their combat effectiveness would be doubled, so if ordinary demi-kings were to fight against them, the demi-kings’ strength will be absorbed by the will of martial arts and greatly reduced while the other side’s strength will grow, forming a crushing imbalance.
Ordinary demi-kings would be no match in their presence.
Currently, the aura radiating from these five fists was so terrifying that the five demi-kings could not even dodge them. This was the pinnacle of an Ultimate Demi-King, the kind that was truly invincible.
Punch! Punch! Punch! Punch! Punch!
The afterimages of the five fists flashed, and the five monstrous foreign clan members were blown up. Their remains disintegrated into ashes, and nothing remained of them.
Even up to the point of his death, the Xianghuo Faction Leader did not understand how such a terrifying Ultimate Demi-King appeared in such a place.
Was it not said that the Xia clan only had three Ultimate Demi-Kings?
Was it not said that these individuals were all guarding the most critical borders?
Why did one of them suddenly appear here?
