Chapter 219 Bloodstained Heart-Refining City (Part 1)
Seeing Grandmaster Wang walking towards the city gate, Xiao Chong clearly sensed that this person's aura was somewhat different from that of the first two waves of attackers.
Therefore, he asked Sheng Chunshui, "Is this person a Grandmaster?"
Sheng Chunshui laughed and said, "That's right, this person is indeed a Grandmaster, and a veteran at that, having entered the Grandmaster realm much earlier than me."
Xiao Chong shook the Heaven-Shaking Bow and asked, "Uncle Sheng, do you have a plan?"
Sheng Chunshui laughed and said, "Didn't you say that when soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it? Then let me go down and meet him."
Xiao Chong said, "You are the backbone of Refining Heart City, how can you take such a risk so easily? Why don't we send more people and join forces to take him down?"
Sheng Chunshui shook his head and said, "Although there is only a one-word difference between Grandmaster and Grandmaster, there is a world of difference in their martial arts cultivation. Apart from me, the highest cultivation level of the rest of us is only Martial Master, so we can't cause him much harm."
"But that bow you have is quite something. You seemed to have plenty of strength left when you shot that grandmaster. Why don't you observe the enemy formation for me?"
Xiao Chong nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Uncle Sheng, be careful when you fight him later. I'll use my bow and arrows to distract him and see if I can create an opportunity for you."
"Ok!"
Sheng Chunshui gave a firm reply, clenched his fist, and began preparing for the battle.
At this moment, Grandmaster Wang had already arrived at the city gate, fully alert, ready to rush into the City of Refining Hearts.
But before he could make a move, Sheng Chunshui had already leaped down from the city wall, laughing loudly, "You scoundrel from the Martial Elders' Society, if you want to enter Lianxin City, you'll have to get past me first!"
Grandmaster Wang glanced at Sheng Chunshui, a hint of disdain on his face, and said contemptuously, "Are you Sheng Chunshui, the city lord of Refining Heart City? Although you are also a Grandmaster, you have only been cultivating for less than a month. What makes you think you can fight me?"
"If you know what's good for you, quickly kneel down and submit, so I can hand you over to Lord Ximen for punishment. Perhaps Lord Ximen will be in a good mood and spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for leaving no one alive after the city falls!"
Sheng Chunshui sneered and said, "You scoundrel, stop with your sweet talk. The outcome is still uncertain, it's too early to say such things. Let's see your fists!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Chunshui channeled his inner energy and threw a punch at his opponent.
Grandmaster Wang had just received a blessing from Grandmaster Zhang, who was traveling with him, and was already somewhat displeased. Now, hearing Sheng Chunshui curse him as a "traitor" repeatedly, he became even more furious.
"Hmph! You've only been a Grandmaster for a few days? I'm afraid the Yuan energy in your acupoints isn't even full yet. How dare you make a move in front of me? Are you tired of living?"
Grandmaster Wang sneered inwardly, his aura rising steadily. He threw a punch with all his might, preparing for a swift victory, ideally ending the fight in one move.
However, although his idea was good and his thinking was very correct, he miscalculated. He didn't know that Sheng Chunshui had a super alchemy master backing him up.
Having just taken a pill handed to him by Xiao Chong, Sheng Chunshui's internal energy was surging, far surpassing that of the Grandmaster Wang, and even comparable to that of Ximen Feng.
boom!
The two fists collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
The space in front of the two people distorted, and the surging Yuan energy scattered, creating a violent fluctuation.
The enormous sound wave caused the nearby city walls to tremble slightly.
Grandmaster Wang felt an overwhelming force strike him, and his body was thrown straight back three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Sheng Chunshui, on the other hand, only swayed slightly before regaining his footing.
"Didn't they say they just entered the Grandmaster realm? How can they possess such formidable power? Did they know they were outmatched and use some secret technique to unleash their potential?"
Grandmaster Wang stood still, his mind filled with doubt.
It's no wonder he had his doubts, because among the martial artists of Tianyun Continent, there are indeed some secret methods that can stimulate the body's potential and forcibly raise one's cultivation level.
However, using this secret technique comes at a price: it damages the martial artist's very foundation. Therefore, unless it is a matter of life and death, most martial artists would never dare to use it lightly.
Moreover, the more a secret technique can unleash potential, the greater the damage it will cause to a martial artist's body. For example, the most powerful of all these secret techniques is self-destruction.
If a Grandmaster-level martial artist were to self-destruct, it could potentially harm even a Martial Saint-level martial artist. Of course, the price the self-destructor would pay is death.
Just as Grandmaster Wang was filled with doubt, a figure flashed before his eyes. It turned out that Sheng Chunshui had attacked him again while he was distracted.
"This guy is attacking so fiercely, he must be insane! If he decides to self-destruct, wouldn't I be buried with him?"
Grandmaster Wang was convinced that Sheng Chunshui's Yuan Power was so strong that he must have used some secret technique. His heart skipped a beat, and he turned to flee.
Just then, a sharp whistling sound rang out from the city wall, and a dark light, as fast as lightning, struck towards the Grandmaster Wang!
Grandmaster Wang clearly saw that among the grandmasters who had just attacked the city gate, one of them had his head blown off by this dark light and died on the spot.
If something can kill a Grandmaster before they can react, it is very likely that it also poses a certain threat to a Great Grandmaster.
Moreover, this dark light was neither an arrow nor a spear, and left no physical form. Strangely, even the knowledgeable Grandmaster Wang had never heard of such a thing.
Unable to ascertain the origin of the dark light, the Grandmaster Wang dared not confront it head-on and could only lower his head to dodge.
Whoosh!
After a sharp whistle, the dark light grazed the scalp of the Grandmaster Wang, and the icy aura emanating from it made him break out in a cold sweat.
"so close!"
Grandmaster Wang raised his head, realizing he had escaped a calamity.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Sheng Chunshui's second punch was already in front of him.
It's definitely too late to dodge!
In the critical moment, the Grandmaster Wang could only hastily throw a punch to block the attack.
boom!
After a terrifying surge of Yuan energy, Grandmaster Wang was sent flying ten feet away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Sheng Chunshui, having gained the upper hand with his punch, did not stop there. He leaped forward, intending to finish off his opponent in one fell swoop.
Just then, another person rushed out from the Wu Lao Hui camp and blocked Sheng Chunshui's way.
"Do not harm my brother's life!"
The man exchanged a punch with Sheng Chunshui, then shielded the Grandmaster surnamed Wang behind him. It was none other than the cautious Grandmaster surnamed Zhang.
Facing two Grandmasters at the same time, killing one of them would be extremely difficult. It should be noted that although the Grandmaster surnamed Wang was injured, he was not without the ability to fight again.
"Haha! I'll spare your life this time, you can take it next time!"
Seeing that nothing was being done, Sheng Chunshui laughed loudly, turned around, and ran back up the city wall.
"Brother Wang, didn't I just tell you to be extra careful? How come something still happened?"
While helping Grandmaster Wang back to his camp, Grandmaster Zhang asked with concern.
You still dare to say that? If you hadn't uttered those ominous words, would I have been so unlucky?
Grandmaster Wang felt that the other party was cursing him, and he was so angry that he rolled his eyes and spat out another mouthful of blood.
While the two grandmasters were grieving here, the city of Lianxin was already filled with cheers.
"Lord Sheng's two punches just now were like a divine intervention, greatly boosting the morale of our Refining Heart City!"
"Truly, one man can hold off ten thousand! The Grandmaster's intervention is truly extraordinary!"
"That's right. With City Lord Sheng in charge, the Martial Elders' Association has nothing to fear!"
Seeing Sheng Chunshui return victorious, everyone on the city wall beamed with joy and rushed forward to chat, as if the members of the Martial Arts Association were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs.
Although Sheng Chunshui had the upper hand just now, he was not as relaxed as he appeared. His internal energy was churning and he was quite uncomfortable.
But this was the perfect time to boost morale, and he couldn't show it off. So he quickly swallowed another pill and waited for his blood and qi to calm down before laughing loudly, "Don't worry, everyone. With me here, I will not let the Wu Elders set foot in the city. If they don't know what's good for them, I'll make sure they can't leave!"
When Sheng Chunshui spoke, he used all his Yuan energy, and his voice carried far and wide, covering the entire Refining Heart City.
"The city lord possesses unparalleled divine skills and will surely protect our safety!"
"The Wu family are nothing but clowns, utterly pathetic!"
"We swear to defend Lianxin City to the death, and slaughter every last member of the Martial Elders!"
Inspired by Sheng Chunshui's heroic spirit, students and ordinary residents alike in Lianxin City raised their arms and shouted in unison, the sound waves rising higher and higher, reaching far into the Wulaohui camp outside the city.
Ximen Feng was so angry that his face turned ashen, his chest heaving like a bellows, and his black robe trembling violently.
According to his original plan, Sheng Chunshui, who had just entered the Grandmaster realm, was no match for the Grandmaster surnamed Wang. Even if the Grandmaster surnamed Wang couldn't defeat him quickly, he would at least be able to suppress him.
As long as Grandmaster Wang defeats Sheng Chunshui or takes advantage of Sheng Chunshui's weakness to rush into Lianxin City, he will order his men to attack and capture Lianxin City in one fell swoop.
However, the current situation is completely beyond his expectations. Not only did Grandmaster Wang fail to defeat Sheng Chunshui, but he was also injured by the opponent in just one exchange, which completely disrupted his plans.
"What a piece of trash! You were beaten to a pulp with just a few punches and kicks, and you still dare to call yourself a grandmaster! Is your title of grandmaster inflated?"
Looking at the Grandmaster Wang who was coughing incessantly, Ximen Feng cursed inwardly, wishing he could personally step forward and deliver two more punches.
However, at this time, the morale of the Wu Lao Hui was low, so he could not lash out; on the contrary, he had to show concern.
After gritting his teeth for a long time, Ximen Feng reluctantly took out a small pill and handed it to Grandmaster Wang, saying, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Brother Wang was careless and was injured by a villain. There is no need to take it to heart."
This pill is the result of my accumulated merits over the years, a special reward awarded at the gathering. It is most effective for injuries to one's vital energy. Brother Wang, please take it quickly.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Brother Ximen. I will risk my life to help you conquer Lianxin City!"
The Grandmaster Wang was moved. He accepted the pill, swallowed it along with his old blood, and began to sit on the ground to recover from his injuries.
Seeing his treasured possessions of many years vanish in an instant, Ximen Feng's brows twitched slightly, and he said fiercely, "Fine! In one hour, please come with me to storm into Lianxin City!"
