Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 426 - Battle I
In the end, due to Zhang En's constant provocation of suppressing Ming Zhi, he was forced to take out all of his ancient treasures one after another. His heart seemed to bleed when every treasure he took out was made a bet. These ancient treasures were all his wealth.
In all, he took out twenty-five of his possessions.
"Is there any more? If there is, get everything out..?"
Ming Zhi was on the verge of losing his temper as he took out his last treasure when Zhang En's cold voice rang out in his ears.
Ming Zhi snapped and bellowed furiously at Zhang En, “I've taken out all my treasures..!Zhang En bastard, I challenge you now. Are you fighting now or not? If not, then get out of my sight right now!”
Ming Zhi's furious expression was not a far-fetched act, this convinced Zhang En that these twenty-five ancient treasures were truly his entire fortune.
Zhang En then spoke with an expressionless face, “Because like that, for the sake of giving the face of the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master, I will accept your challenge. As for your twenty-five milieu treasures, I will make an exception and with a heavy heart consider their value to be equivalent to my Ice World Treasure.”
Ming Zhi was almost furious until he vomited blood and heard Zhang En say. He wished he could tear Zhang En apart right then and there.
“Now I will tell you, in a fight, accidents are inevitable above the battle arena. I'm worried that if I accidentally kill you, your Master, the Spirit Fire Sect Master will make it difficult for me after.” Said Ming Zhi while suppressing his killing intent which was seen seeping into his voice. Then he said again, “In addition, I am also worried that after I win, the people of your sect will refuse to hand over your Ice World Treasure, therefore, before we fight, before we fight, I want to sign a life and death contract as well as our treasure betting contract.!”
Ming Zhi did not hide his killing intent towards Zhang En and wanted to sign a life and death contract in front of so many people, he did not need to worry about any consequences after killing Zhang En.
Every expert outside the arena directed their gaze at Lin Ming making Lin Ming's brows furrow together, and before he could even think…
"All right...!" Zhang En's voice rang out from on the arena stage.
Immediately, Lin Ming raised his head to look at Zhang En. Seeing his Master's gaze, Zhang En only slightly nodded his head to reassure Lin Ming, knowing that his Master was worried about his safety.
Seeing Zhang En's nod and confident gaze, Lin Ming looked doubtful for a moment before nodding in agreement. Hence, with the many experts and everyone present being witnesses, Zhang En and Ming Zhi signed a life and death contract and a betting contract belonging to them on the spot.
The moment the life and death contract was signed, Ming Zhi no longer bothered to suppress or hide his terrifying killing intent towards Zhang En. He stared intently at Zhang En as he sneered, “Zhang En, I really did not expect you to actually dare to sign a life and death contract with me. It's the same if you're going to die! Since you agreed to it, you can't blame me later! Hahaha, soon the Ice World Treasure will be mine!”
The corner of Zhang En's mouth lifted with a faint smile, signing the life and death contract and the treasure contract they had bet on was exactly as he wished.
"Can't blame me? Like you said, you can't blame me after this either...."
In a single breath, Ming Zhi's figure suddenly disappeared from her place. Before Zhang En could react, his fists blared as they shot through the air, too fast for Zhang En to follow.
Sensing a hint of danger, Zhang En's arm lifted and also raised his fist reflexively.
DUAAARR!!!
A fierce explosion echoed in the air, a powerful shockwave spreading from above the arena. The collision of their fists actually caused the sturdy arena stage to tremble violently.
Amidst everyone's shock, Zhang En's silhouette was seen making an arch in the air, then crashing into the surface of the arena's stage and smashing it.
An abnormal silence ensued, broken by Ming Zhi's laughter and uncontrollable laughter, causing his entire body to tremble. The faces of everyone from the Heavenly Dragon Sect were overwhelmed with excitement seeing Zhang En being thrown into the air.
Sitting Wang Nio behind Lin Ming quickly scoffed, "Just one strike? Hehe, amu did not expect my previous prediction to come true so quickly, Zhang En is just an easy opponent to defeat Ming Zhi. Of course, the winner can already be seen clearly now.”
Lin Ming and all the elders who were in his faction, their faces looked grim.
On the arena stage, Ming Zhi was standing upright with his hands crossed behind his back like he was peering down at a lower existence as he looked towards the spot where Zhang En had fallen, he was still laughing out loud, “Zhang En, is this your true strength? I said from the beginning, you and all the disciples in your sect are just trash in front of me...!"
"Oh.....!" Suddenly, a cold voice cut into Ming Zhi's laughter.
Ming Zhi was perplexed as he watched Zhang En slowly stand up, swinging his hands slightly, even casually patting the dust on his body.
“Why are you still okay.. ?!” Ming Zhi's cool laughter was instantly stifled, but the look in his eyes sharpened as he looked at Zhang En
“Sorry.... I've let you down.” Zhang En shrugged his shoulders, then continued his words, "If this kind of strength were all you have, you really wouldn't be able to hurt me."
SWOSSSHHH...!
Then, Zhang En completely released his aura that had been held back all this time, and suppressed the arena stage.
"What!! This was the power of the early two-stage True God Realm ?! W-wait, this power is already at the peak of the Two-star True God Realm early stage!”
"Didn't the rumor say that Zhang En's strength was only at the realm of the Two Star God Emperor a few years ago? How could he break through to the Two Star True God Realm in just five years!”
When Zhang En exposed his strength, the entire arena was made dumbfounded in shock, and filled with disbelief that they could not comprehend with Zhang En's current strength. Only the word 'horrible' could explain Zhang En's cultivation speed.
Lin Ming, who had just looked grim a moment before after Zhang En was sent flying by a single blow from Ming Zhi, now jumped to his feet, repeatedly repeating his words... “Great...! Great..! Awattttt, you son of a bitch....!" Said Lin Ming with a radiant face entering everyone's ears.
As Zhang En's strength rose to its peak, his robe was torn apart and shattered into pieces, revealing his sturdy and shaped muscles. Not wasting any more time, Zhang En then fused his soul with the power of the Divine Dragon Spirit within his body and the power of the Azure Dragon Emperor Long Xioba.
Making two dark black dragon tails that echoed the aura of a demonic dragon and a golden dragon appear like tattoos on its back, exuding an extremely powerful dragon power...
Ming Zhi's face turned black like a pot now. He was also surprised to see and feel Zhang En's strength with a look of disbelief.
