Chapter 108: The Great War Against Zhu Shoucheng (Part 1)

  "Big Five Elements Fist!"

  Above Shangguan Yu's fists, a five-colored light flickered. As for Zhu Shoucheng, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. Zhu Shoucheng was a martial artist of the Human Marquis realm, three levels higher than Shangguan Yu, and also a disciple of the True Martial Sect.

  Zhen Wu Men disciples, naturally have to be much more powerful than those small dynasty's martial artists of the same realm. They have better cultivation resources, better gong fa and martial skills. Of course, there are also some Zhen Wu Men disciples who are unlearned and untalented, relying on their rich resources, their martial arts realm has risen, but their combat power is not high.

  However, Zhu Shoucheng was clearly not the latter. He was promoted by Shangguan Pocheng and his cultivation was very hard. Now facing Shangguan Yu, a martial artist at the Earth Realm level, it shouldn't be too troublesome. Zhu Shoucheng had seen Shangguan Yu's strength before, but seeing it and truly facing it were two different things.

  Shangguan Yu threw a punch, and Zhu Shoucheng also met him with one. Feeling the power of Shangguan Yu's double fists, Zhu Shoucheng had to admit that Shangguan Yu was indeed very strong. He thought that when he, Zhu Shoucheng, was in the Earth Realm, he absolutely didn't have such strength.

  "Junior brother, you indeed have exceptional talent, but unfortunately, you are three realms lower than me. If our realms were the same, I would definitely not be your match, but now, you won't have any chance!" Zhu Shoucheng sneered.

  "Is that so? Then I'll come to learn from Teacher Brother's superior skills. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Upright Feather, who had entered a state of combat, had actually forgotten all his previous troubles.

  The two fists collided, and Shangguan Yu felt as if he had hit a massive boulder, unable to move it at all. Little did he know that Zhu Shoucheng was even more astonished in his heart, having already used 70% of his strength, yet only managing to exchange blows evenly with Shangguan Yu.

  "Cheers! Ah!"

  Shangguan Yu let out a loud roar, and the power on his fists was raised another level. Even boulders would shatter. The five elements' origin force's radiance became even more dazzling. The five colors rotated, looking exceptionally beautiful.

  Zhu Shoucheng took a step back, and then once again urged the surging yuanqi within his body. The difference between a Hou Extreme Boundary warrior and a Jiang Extreme Boundary warrior was that the yuanqi within the body of a Jiang Extreme Boundary warrior was gaseous, while the yuanqi within the body of a Hou Extreme Boundary warrior was liquid. This disparity was enormous, so a Jiang Extreme Boundary warrior was fundamentally not an opponent for a Hou Extreme Boundary warrior.

  However, Shangguan Yu was an exception. The amount of yuanqi stored in his body was simply too much. His body had a bottomless pit that could store a large amount of yuanqi. At present, the yuanqi he possessed far exceeded that of martial artists of the same boundary.

  Upper official Yu was forced back a step, and Zhu Shoucheng also truly began to fight. Even if there were some friendships before, as a martial artist, being defeated by an opponent who is three realms lower than oneself would be too embarrassing. As a true Wu Men disciple, which one doesn't have a bit of pride?

  "Jiǔ Lù Kōng Míng Quán!"

  English Translation: "Nine Routes Empty Bright Fist!"

  This boxing skill in Zhu Shoucheng's hands, however, was much more powerful. Zhu Shoucheng seemed to have turned into four arms, constantly attacking Shangguan Yu and suppressing him alive. The Human King Realm's Zhu Shoucheng, using this set of boxing skills, became exceptionally fierce and savage.

  Shangguan Yu wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Brother's fist method is indeed formidable, I couldn't even defend against it. Alright, let's have a real fight now!"

  Shangguan Yu closed his eyes, and Zhu Shoucheng's "Nine Routes Empty Bright Fist" made people even more dizzy. This boxing technique was able to confuse the opponent's eyes, making them at a loss, fundamentally unable to defend themselves. However, Shangguan Yu had experience, using perception would make it much simpler.

  Seeing Shangguan Yu close his eyes, Zhu Shoucheng was puzzled. He also understood some of Shangguan Yu's personality and didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily. But what was the purpose of Shangguan Yu closing his eyes now? Could it be that he wanted to listen to the sound and determine the position, how could this be possible?

  But these are not important, Zhu Shoucheng's purpose is just to kill Shangguan Yu. However, when he hit Shangguan Yu again, Zhu Shoucheng was really surprised. Shangguan Yu's palm was printed on his fist, and this time Zhu Shoucheng's fist was actually blocked by Shangguan Yu's palm.

  Shangguan Yu's left hand clenched into a fist, with five-colored glows flashing on top of the fist. This was the "Great Five Elements Fist", and when fighting against Zhu Shoucheng, it was estimated that none of the five elemental forces would be of any use. Only the "Five Elements Fist" that combined all five elemental forces could be effective.

  As for his right palm, small whirlpools appeared on it. Gradually, those whirlpools continuously devoured each other, and the small whirlpools disappeared one by one, giving birth to larger ones. In the end, only one whirlpool king remained. The "Great Wheel Revolving Palm" was directly imprinted onto Zhu Shoucheng's fist, and Dàyuè felt a stinging pain in his palm, but the whirlpool king had already been embedded into Zhu Shoucheng's fist.

  Shangguan Yu let out a loud roar, and his left fist also struck towards Zhu Shoucheng's other fist. After the impact, Shangguan Yu retreated several steps before stabilizing his body. However, this situation was still much better than before, as Zhu Shoucheng wasn't faring any better either.

  The two clashed again, Shangguan Yu's left hand clenched into a fist and his right hand opened with a palm strike, continuously meeting Zhu Shoucheng's iron fists. The "Great Five Elements Fist" combined with the "Great Cycle Palm", was extremely formidable. Even though Zhu Shoucheng was a martial artist at the Human King realm, at this moment, a thread of fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

  However, Shangguan Yu's injury was more severe, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The primordial energy in his body was not small, but no matter how much the gaseous primordial energy was, it couldn't compare to Zhu Shoucheng's liquid primordial energy. The difference between gas and liquid wasn't just a difference in quantity, but also a qualitative change brought about by quantitative changes.

  "Junior brother, I have to admit that you're indeed very formidable. When I was in the Earth Realm, even the Heaven Realm warriors couldn't defeat me. But junior brother, you actually managed to injure me, a warrior at the Human King Realm, and I must say that I admire you." Zhu Shoucheng wiped away the blood from his mouth and spoke.

  "Cut the nonsense, since you want to take my life, I will naturally go all out. I won't be captured easily, if we're going to fight, let's fight! Even in death, I'll die standing! Come on, my fighting spirit is boiling over!" Yu's words were sonorous, and after speaking, he stood together with Zhu Shoucheng once again.

  The five-colored light around Shangguan Yu's left fist grew brighter. Gold, green, blue, red and yellow, these colors revolved together. Slowly, the five-colored lights actually entwined together, and Shangguan Yu's entire fist enlarged.

  Facing Zhu Shoucheng's incoming punch, Shangguan Yu didn't use his fist to meet it. He continued to urge the yuanqi in his body, and the power of this punch must exceed the previous one. Shangguan Yu used his shoulder to block Zhu Shoucheng's punch, thereby striking Zhu Shoucheng's chest with that punch.

  In Zhu Shoucheng's astonished gaze, Shangguan Yu used his other shoulder to block another punch. And on the back of Shangguan Yu's right palm, those whirlpools were once again devouring everything in their path. This time, they didn't just devour the whirlpools formed by Shangguan Yu's internal yuanqi; they greedily absorbed the heavenly and earthly yuanqi as well. The power of this one palm was absolutely not to be underestimated.

  Shangguan Yu's timing was so accurate that after the left fist, this palm also landed on Zhu Shoucheng's chest. The "Big Five Elements Fist" and the "Big Wheel Turning Palm" actually hit the same spot on Zhu Shoucheng's chest, and this move was also the result of Shangguan Yu's deliberation.

  Shangguan Yu felt the scorching pain on his shoulders, but his mouth curled up. He was not only strong, but his body's self-healing ability was even more terrifying. Choosing this kind of injury-for-injury fighting style wasn't a momentary brain fever; for others, it might be a desperate fight, but for him, it was very advantageous.

  Zhu Shoucheng spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling the pain in his chest. But that was not the point, the point was that the vortex had actually begun to wreak havoc inside his body. Feeling the chaotic yuanqi within him, Zhu Shoucheng tried his best to calm it down. Before, he had been puzzled by Guan Yu's palm technique, but now he had personally experienced it.

  However, Shangguan Yu did not give Zhu Shoucheng time to recover, and he charged at Zhu Shoucheng again. Still with his left hand "Big Five Elements Fist" and right hand "Big Wheel Turning Palm". And his tactics didn't change either, as long as Zhu Shoucheng threw a punch, he would use some parts of his body to block it, then gritting his teeth in pain, he would strike Zhu Shoucheng's body with his fist and palm.

  "Huh... where is this?" The beast struggled to get up, shaking its head vigorously. It recalled the experience of jumping off the cliff before, but now it was even more bewildered by what it saw in front of it.

  Shangguan's feathered robe was torn and tattered, with bloodstains all over his body. Zhu Shoucheng's mouth was also smeared with blood, and his clothes were ripped in several places. Most surprisingly, the two of them were now engaged in a fierce battle. Judging from their stance, it was absolutely not a friendly spar between master and disciple.

  "Xiao Yu, Shixiong, what's going on with you two? What happened? Why are you fighting so desperately?" Qin Shou stood up and shouted at the two who were still fighting.

  Upon hearing Qin Shou's voice, both Shangguan Yu and Zhu Shoucheng stopped in their tracks. The two of them parted ways, with Shangguan Yu looking towards Qin Shou, while Zhu Shoucheng also looked towards Qin Shou. However, Shangguan Yu's eyes were filled with concern, whereas Zhu Shoucheng's eyes were filled with complexity.

  It's come to this, and hiding is useless now. Just as Shangguan Yu was about to speak, Zhu Shoucheng spoke up first. "Younger brother, no need to say more. We discovered a treasure and the two of us fought over it. I know that your feelings for each other run deeper, come on, you can also come up. To be able to die at younger brother's hands is also not living in vain."

  Upon hearing Zhu Shoucheng's words, Shangguan Yu also discovered that Zhu Shoucheng was truly shameless and extremely cunning. Qin Shou's eyebrows furrowed, and he warily looked at the two people on stage.
