This was the Great Perfection of Acquired, a special method of force circulation that could only be born after tempering the Physical Body to its extreme!
Blood Qi surged like a tide!
Originally, ten parts of strength could unleash twelve parts of power!
"Your sword technique isn't good; it has flaws."
A swift palm strike, carrying a surging Qi wave, instantly shattered Tian Fei's dazzling sword flourishes.
Tian Fei's eyes widened as he watched Chen Zheng's palm accurately strike the blade of his longsword, and the Sword Qi, like a purgatory, instantly melted away like ice and snow.
At this moment!
Tian Fei also felt the despair the short man experienced before his death.
Over ten thousand catties of Qi strength! Incredibly swift speed!
It made it impossible for Tian Fei to put up any resistance.
Bang!
The longsword bent into a semicircle, pressing into Tian Fei's chest along with Chen Zheng's palm!
Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone cracking, Tian Fei's face contorted in pain, and blood gushed from his mouth!
The next moment!
The longsword rebounded, coupled with Chen Zheng's powerful palm strike, and Tian Fei was instantly sent flying, breaking two large trees before he finally stopped.
But he had already lost all signs of life.
Chen Zheng turned his head to look at the Tall Man, who was already scared silly.
"It's your turn!"
...Meanwhile.
In the jungle, a four-person team was traversing the forest.
The leader, a burly man with a broad saber on his back and a bold Aura, was Peng Lihu, a master from a collateral branch of the Peng Family and a ninth-level Acquired Martial Artist, sent to search.
The three people behind him also had cultivation at the eighth-level Acquired.
They had all seen the Tian Family's flare signal and had specifically rushed over.
Suddenly!
Peng Lihu abruptly stopped, raising his left hand to signal the team to halt.
"What's wrong, Brother Hu?"
A companion behind him asked.
Peng Lihu didn't answer but instead gripped the hilt of the saber on his back and turned his head to look to his left.
"Who! Come out!"
Seeing this, the remaining three immediately entered a state of alert.
"Hahaha... Peng Lihu, you're too timid! If you're scared, why don't you go back first! We, the Shi Family, will take care of that good-for-nothing's life!"
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, three figures appeared.
The leader wore steel gauntlets on his hands, his face was full of disdainful smiles, and his muscles were like sculpted rock; just standing there, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression.
Seeing the man, Peng Lihu frowned deeply and said coldly, "Shi Tiannan! What do you mean by that?"
Shi Tiannan's status was comparable to Peng Lihu's; both were pillars of their respective collateral branches.
However, there was a gap in their strength; Shi Tiannan was stronger than Peng Lihu, already a Great Perfection Acquired Martial Artist, only a step away from the Kai Mai Realm!
Shi Tiannan sneered, completely disregarding Peng Lihu, a ninth-level Acquired Martial Artist.
He was followed by two people, one a ninth-level Acquired and one an eighth-level Acquired, both retainers cultivated by the Shi Family.
"Peng Lihu, you know what Brother Nan means!"
The ninth-level Acquired Martial Artist from the Shi Family scoffed.
Shi Tiannan even directly warned, "Let me make this clear! If you get in the way later, I don't mind dealing with you first!"
With that said.
He waved his hand and left with his two retainers.
"Brother Hu, this Shi Tiannan is too arrogant!" A Fat Man next to Peng Lihu said indignantly.
Peng Lihu's eyes glinted with coldness, but he suppressed his anger.
"No matter! The one who stands last is the winner; everyone just relies on their own abilities!"
He was only a hair's breadth away from Great Perfection Acquired, so he wasn't afraid of Shi Tiannan.
"Let's go!"
Peng Lihu directed his subordinates to hurry, not forgetting to whisper a reminder.
"Watch carefully later; if that good-for-nothing from the Chen Family is killed by the Shi Family's people first, then we'll find an opportunity to ambush and directly kill the Shi Family's people!"
"The Tian Family only wants that good-for-nothing dead; they won't care about anything else!"
The three behind him tightened their grip on their weapons and nodded in agreement.
But by the time the Shi Family and Peng Family teams arrived at the flare's location, one after the other, Chen Zheng's battle with the Tian Family had already ended.
"Where are the people?"
Shi Tiannan frowned, looking around.
"There's blood here!"
The ninth-level Acquired retainer pointed to a broken giant tree.
Shi Tiannan said anxiously, "That kid is injured! Hurry and chase!"
With that!
He directly led his men in pursuit in the direction of the bloodstains.
If Chen Zheng had been directly killed by the Tian Family's people, wouldn't they have wasted all these days for nothing?
"Keep up!"
Seeing this, Peng Lihu immediately followed behind the Shi Family's team.
But they hadn't run many steps before they all stopped, looking ahead in surprise.
"This is..."
Everyone gasped, only to see Tian Fei and the short man's corpses piled up like a mess of flesh at the base of a giant tree not far away.
The Tall Man's corpse, on the other hand, was pierced by a longsword and nailed directly to the tree trunk.
"These are people from the Tian Family!"
"How are they all dead!"
"Who did it?"
Neither the Shi Family nor the Peng Family's people thought of Chen Zheng as the culprit.
In their impression, Chen Zheng was merely a minor character at the sixth-level Acquired and absolutely incapable of doing such a thing.
"I did it!"
A playful voice sounded above their heads.
The few people were startled and looked up, only to see a figure crouching at the top of the giant tree, the young man's bright eyes staring at them as if sizing up prey.
"Chen Zheng!"
"This good-for-nothing!"
"He killed the Tian Family's people?"
"How is that possible!"
The hearts of the Shi Family and Peng Family were in turmoil; they couldn't believe it!
"This kid must have helpers!"
"Watch your surroundings!"
Shi Tiannan and Peng Lihu reacted immediately, reminding their subordinates.
Then everyone looked around suspiciously, trying to find Chen Zheng's non-existent helper.
This scene directly amused Chen Zheng.
"You've already wasted too much of my time. I won't play with you slowly anymore. Before it gets dark, I'll send you on your way early!"
Shaking his head, Chen Zheng, with the long saber he snatched from the short man on his shoulder, swooped down from the treetop like a roc.
The Tian Family's people had already verified his current strength.
So he didn't need any more verification!
Next, he just had to enjoy the "hunt"!
But even at this moment, the people of the Shi Family and Peng Family still didn't believe that Chen Zheng had killed the three members of the Tian Family.
Watching Chen Zheng descend, they only thought he was trying to act as bait to attract their attention, allowing the master hidden in the dark to make a move!
"A ridiculous trick!"
Shi Tiannan sneered inwardly, dedicating some of his attention to Chen Zheng, waiting until Chen Zheng reached a certain distance. Regardless of whether the person in the dark would make a move, he was confident he could kill him with one punch!
Until... a cold saber light bloomed before his eyes!
Flowing Cloud Saber Technique!
The moment he landed, Chen Zheng's long saber swept down, instantly unleashing three strikes! The saber shadows, mixed with Saber Qi, were like flowing clouds, making it impossible to know where they would land next!
Only, flowing clouds don't kill people, but Chen Zheng's saber does!
