Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 736 - Uncomfortable Feelings
Zhang En then spoke in a cold-sounding tone of voice, “Before, you announced that I failed even without checking the pill refining room I used, and after that you insisted on saying that I cheated, wanted to cancel my qualifications and forbid me from participating in the Alchemist competition forever if I failed! Do you really think this matter can be solved easily just by you announcing that the pill refining was successful and I was declared a pass at this round? Hey ferguson, I need you to apologize to me!"
"What?!" Tao Lee's face turned red in anger at Zhang En's last sentence.
Before Tao Lee could say a word to argue, the crowd of onlookers in the outside area shouted loudly, "That's right. What Zhang En said was the truth. You should apologize to her!"
The voices grew louder, echoing like thunder filled the entire place.
Tao Lee's face looked darker than the buttocks of the charred pot, his disgusting-looking eyes fixed on Zhang En, “This matter ends here. If you keep making trouble, I can still cancel your participation qualification right now.”
Hearing Tao Lee accuse him of making trouble pushed Zhang En's patience this time over the line as his aura slightly seeped out.
Noticing Zhang En's aura, Tao Lee sneered, “Why? Do you want to fight with me?"
Tao Le knew that Zhang En was not a genius cultivator he had met and could not be said to be weak, however, he was a Senior Elder of the Ghuang Alchemist Union. Although his pill refining technique was less than good compared to Zhang En, his own cultivation could be said to be not bad.
He was a late stage Seven Star Gold God cultivator, that was the reason he was confident that this Zhang En was unfit for him to compete in terms of strength.
Zhang En's tone became icy cold, "You'll soon find out the consequences of offending me after this competition."
Zhang En then turned around and left because he was still trying to hold back his emotions because there was still the next round he went through.
A moment before Zhang En left the place, he sent a strand of energy like an invisible mark to Tao Lee's body.
As he passed Mu Hawk, Zhang En gave him a disdainful look before turning his head and leaving.
Mu Hawk who from the beginning was already furious after learning that Zhang En had passed in this round, was already furious, what else with the quality of the one-tier pill from the pill he made and added with that contemptuous look, the powerless anger he was suppressing finally exploded.
"Zhang En, stop!" Mu Hawk shouted, his fists already striking at Zhang En's back.
HOONNGGG!!!!
The demonic Qi surged high like a tsunami, enveloping the heaven and earth in darkness.
The figure of an evil howling demon head appeared as it shot towards Zhang En from Mu Hawk's fist.
The figure of the demon head was formed from Mu Hawk's demon qi and formed a gigantic fist with a demon symbol swirling around it that covered Zhang En.
Mu Hawk's cultivation was already at the realm of the late peak Eight Star Golden God after he came out of the Demon Tower, and this fist strike was one of the highest techniques of their demon clan.
As everyone present was watching and thinking that Zhang En would vomit blood after being attacked by Mu Hawk's sudden attack from behind, Zhang En's body had spun around, making it go round, doing palm strikes in return.
BOOOM!!!!
In a split second, Zhang En's palm and Mu Hawk's fist collided.
The ground shocks passed under the feet of many people and their ears buzzed from the violent collision that boomed.
A gigantic fist accompanied by the figure of the demon head belonging to Mu Hawk that seemed to be extremely powerful and domineering exploded in midair, then the figure of the demon head was scattered like dust making Mu Hawk bounce in the air like a broken kite, then fall violently on the ground, and faint.
YUMMY!!!
It doesn't stop there. Mu Hawk's body that fell on the ground then rolled and dragged to the edge of the area where the spectators were, lying pitifully there with blood flowing from his mouth.
Seeing this result, everyone was startled, breathing in a breath of cold air.
As for Tao Lee, as he felt his heartbeat beating uncontrollably, he had not expected Mu Hawk who attacked Zhang En from behind to be so pitiful and humiliating.
Cold sweat dripped from Tao Lee's forehead recalling that he said whether Zhang En dared to fight with him a moment ago.
Zhang En did not glance at Mu Hawk and simply turned around and left with a astonished look everyone followed him.
The moment all the demon clan disciples who saw Mu Hawk's miserable state became furious, but the moment they wanted to surround Zhang En, their actions were stopped by Elder Mu Rui.
Mu Rui simply watched Zhang En leave the place, not moving to stop him.
Not long after Zhang En left and disappeared from everyone's sight, another light flickered from the other pill refining room as a figure of youth stepped out from there.
When he came out, the first thing he saw was Mu Hawk lying down and vomiting blood. Something that really surprised him.
In a few short moments, he learned what had happened to Mu Hawk from the noisy crowd chatter, that caused his shock to multiply as he learned of Zhang doing this with just a single strike.
'This matter should be reported to the Patriarch immediately!' Chu Pai said inwardly and still felt shocked.
Although their Chu Clan had chosen to be friendly towards their relationship with Zhang En, it was not to the point of standing publicly on Zhang En's side in the matter against the Sky Tower Sect.
But now, in Chu Pai's eyes, it seemed like their clan needed to reevaluate their attitude towards Zhang En.
Moments later, Mu Hawk regained consciousness after Mu Hawk treated his wounds.
Mu Hawk then gave the order to all the members of his demon clan when he stood up, "Let's get out of here"
He then turned around and left without a word. Inwardly, his killing intent towards Zhang En surged even higher.
On the other hand, Zhang En had returned to his Mansion and directly entered seclusion.
...
Inside one of the halls of the residence, Mou Li and Xu Yi who were waiting for news of Zhang En saw Tao Lee enter from the door.
Not waiting for Tao Lee to speak, Mou Li had already asked, "Has Zhang En's result come out?"
Mou Li had instructed Tao Lee to report to him after Zhang En's results were known.
However Tao Lee's head lowered extremely low, not daring to stare at Mou Li, replying, "Zhang En, d-he passed successfully through this preliminary round."
"What?" Mou Li, as well as Xu Yi who was standing behind him, thought they had heard wrongly.
Tao Le carefully took half a step forward, offering a bottle containing one of the pills that Zhang En had made, explaining, “This is one of the pills made by Zhang En it by using the time of half an hour, five seconds only.”
Mou Li took the bottle from Tao Lee's hand and opened the lid.
The bright blue round pill floated into the air, emitting the refreshing aroma of medicinal herbs as Mou Li and Xu Yi were made shocked again after seeing the quality of the pill.
"This is the recording stone." Tao Lee then handed the recording jade to Mou Li.
A few minutes later, Mou Li finished watching Zhang En's entire pill refining process and his face became extremely solemn.
“Great Chief Mu, I resigned first because I still need to keep an eye on the remaining participants!" Tao Lee carefully asked for permission.
Mou Li waved her hand, “Alright, your business here is done. Return to your duties as supervisor of”
Tao Lee took a sigh of relief as he respectfully bowed to Mou Li and as he turned around and stepped up, he stopped.
He decided to report to Mou Li how Zhang En defeated Mu Hawk and injured him with a single strike.
Listening to the other reports from Tao Lee, Mou Li and Xu Yi could not hide the astonishment from their faces. Until the figure of Tao Lee disappeared from the hall passage, the two of them were still standing in the same place, not moving at all.
Not too long later, Mou Li muttered softly, “Even Mu Hawk who has been in the realm of an Eight-Star Golden God is not his match? I must not let this Zhang En leave this Ghung World no matter what happens after the competition!"
As he said this, an extremely dense murderous aura froze the air nearby.
That very day, the news of Zhang En again spread throughout the entire Moon City.
...
Three days later.
Zhang En came out of seclusion. Tomorrow is the day the competition continues. However, his current feelings seemed to be unable to calm down and felt uneasiness. In fact, it was truly an uncomfortable feeling as if something bad was about to happen.
Unable to calm his heart to cultivate, Zhang En decided to take a walk outside while buying back some wine jugs at the restaurant he had come to earlier.
