Chapter 631: Paying Respects to Cheng Dongshan

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Paying Respects to Cheng Dongshan

Another strange sight suddenly appeared on the arena stage!

A great river materialized out of thin air, instantly enveloping Pang Haiqing and causing his fist technique to falter for a moment!

However, Pang Haiqing assumed it was just a Blinding Technique. Not panicking in the slightest, he said in a deep voice, "A petty trick. You think this can stop me? Break!!"

SPLASH!

Pang Haiqing burst out of the river, and then, his expression changed drastically!

After breaking free of the water, Pang Haiqing saw a colossal figure, a full ten meters tall, slashing at him with an incomparably terrifying blade gleam!

SHLICK!

The great river was instantly cleaved in two.

"Break!!!"

Pang Haiqing had no time to dodge. He could only attack with his full power, attempting to destroy the blade gleam with brute force!

BOOM!!!

The unstoppable fist technique and the all-sweeping blade gleam collided heavily!

CRACK!

Cheng Yuan’s blade gleam shattered into specks of light, quickly dissipating into the void!

Pang Haiqing was ecstatic!

’I broke it!’

’I broke through the blade gleam!’

’I’ve won!’

However, just as this wave of excitement washed over him, he felt an excruciating pain in his chest!

Pang Haiqing subconsciously looked down and saw a menacing-looking hilt protruding from his chest!

Pang Haiqing swayed, staggering and nearly falling. He stared at Cheng Yuan with a look of utter confusion. "When? When did you strike with this blade?"

Cheng Yuan regarded Pang Haiqing with a complex expression.

Pang Haiqing was truly worthy of the title of Martial Saint!

’If I didn’t have the Broken Blade, that last attack would never have been able to injure Pang Haiqing!’

’I hid the Broken Blade within the blade gleam, which is how I landed a guaranteed hit!’

Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice, "It was at the moment the blade gleam shattered."

Pang Haiqing gave a wretched smile. "What a move! To think you actually deceived my eyes!"

Only then did gasps of shock erupt from the crowd below!

Everyone stared at the scene with looks of disbelief!

"My god! What did I just see? This kid took out a Martial Saint in one move?? This is insane!!!"

"Is this a battle between peak experts? My eyes can’t keep up! Can someone tell me how Mr. Pang got stabbed?"

Shen Man simply couldn’t believe her eyes!

’Cheng Yuan actually won?’

’This is just too crazy!’

Ji Tingting was kicking herself with regret!

She had been worried about getting dragged down by Cheng Yuan and had subconsciously moved away. If she hadn’t, she might have earned his friendship.

Unfortunately, she had ruined it all!

Hu Yidao and Zhu Song looked at each other and smiled, but both could see the shock in the other’s eyes!

’Xiaoyuan is growing up too fast!’

’We thought Xiaoyuan’s Guardian would have to step in, but we never expected Xiaoyuan to be able to fell a Martial Saint with his blade all by himself!’

’Even if it was only a First Grade Martial Saint!’

Shen Aotian watched Cheng Yuan with an incredibly complex expression.

Just yesterday afternoon, he had lectured Cheng Yuan from a position of superiority, saying that Cheng Yuan wasn’t worthy of his daughter!

Looking at the situation now, it wasn’t that Cheng Yuan wasn’t worthy of his daughter!

It was his daughter who wasn’t worthy of Cheng Yuan!

Yesterday afternoon, when Cheng Yuan said he could obliterate everything with a single strike, Shen Aotian had treated it as a joke and scoffed at the idea.

But now, Shen Aotian felt that he himself was the biggest joke!

’The man really can obliterate everything with a single strike!’

Gao Qingyuan trembled with excitement. "Awesome! The Young Master is awesome!! Felling a Martial Saint in one strike! From this day on, he will reign supreme over Dongshan!"

Bald Chen’s eyes darted around, and he raised his arm to shout, "From now on, I will refer to Mr. Cheng as Cheng Dongshan!"

Cheng Dongshan?

’That’s a good title!’

Hu Yidao and Zhu Song were the first to drop to one knee in a gesture of submission, shouting loudly, "Hu Yidao! Zhu Song! We pay our respects to Cheng Dongshan!!"

With the two of them leading the way, the other powerful figures also dropped to one knee, their eyes fixed on Cheng Yuan with feverish adoration!

This was an expert from their very own Dongshan! These powerful figures were more than willing to submit to Cheng Yuan!

"We greet Cheng Dongshan!"

Shen Aotian let out a long sigh, seeming to age several years in an instant. No matter how unwilling he was, the tide had turned. He could not resist it!

Shen Aotian dropped to one knee, lowering his arrogant head!

Cheng Yuan personally helped Hu Yidao, Zhu Song, Shen Aotian, and Gao Qingyuan to their feet. Then, he made a gesture to the other powerful figures. "Everyone, no need for such ceremony. Please rise!"

"Thank you, Cheng Dongshan!"

The powerful figures rose cautiously to their feet.

Bald Chen sidled up to Gao Qingyuan, trying to get on his good side. "Old Gao, hey, about before... it was just a small misunderstanding. The sea transport in Luocheng—no, the sea transport for all of Dongshan, it’s all yours!"

Gao Qingyuan just snorted coldly, having no desire to even acknowledge Bald Chen.

’Heh, what happened to your arrogance, you little punk?’

Amidst a chorus of flattery, three figures rushed in from the perimeter, leaped up, and landed on the stage.

The three of them anxiously helped Pang Haiqing up.

"Senior Brother! How are you?"

"Senior Brother! Are you okay?"

Pang Haiqing forced a smile, but it aggravated his injuries, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. "This kid is too strong! You’re no match for him. Hurry back and ask Master to come out of seclusion himself! Kill this kid!"

’Master?’

Cheng Yuan’s heart skipped a beat!

’This Pang guy is a First Grade Martial Saint. His master must be at least a Fourth Grade Martial Saint!’

’Or even...’

An Zirong, who was closest to Pang Haiqing, choked back a sob. "Senior Brother, killing this kid is simple. Master has already become an Ultimate Martial Saint! Crushing this kid will be as easy as crushing an ant. You have to hold on! I won’t let you die!!"

’Ultimate??’

Cheng Yuan’s heart pounded wildly!

’Damn it!’

’Why is it an Ultimate one again?’

’Do I have to ask my own Master to come out of seclusion again?’

’No!’

’I can’t let these guys get back safely!’

’I have to delay them for as long as I can and try to solve this problem myself!’

Cheng Yuan secretly congratulated himself. Thankfully, he had been cautious enough to set up a single-use Mountain Protection Array in advance. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep the three of them here today!

Pang Haiqing struggled to calm the churning qi and blood in his body and said with a bitter smile, "I’m done for. You all need to go! Have Master avenge me!"

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly. "Go where? None of you are leaving today!"

Yan Po, Zou Jiang, and An Zirong stared at Cheng Yuan with grim faces. They desperately wanted to rush forward and tear him limb from limb!

But their Senior Brother had already been defeated. They were even less of a match for Cheng Yuan!

The three of them exchanged a tacit glance and fled rapidly in three different directions!

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly and flicked out a handful of Silver Needles. His Normal Attacks could even harm a Half-Step Martial Saint!

What Cheng Yuan hadn’t expected was that the gravely injured Pang Haiqing would suddenly stand up, an astonishing aura erupting from his body!

PAK! PAK! PAK!

With a few slaps of his palm, the Silver Needles were knocked to the ground!

Pang Haiqing stared coldly at Cheng Yuan and cackled, "Kid, as long as I’m here, don’t even think about hurting my junior brothers!! Just you wait for death! My master’s methods will definitely leave you satisfied! Hehehehe!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Pang Haiqing with a hint of admiration. "You continue to surprise me. Despite being so heavily injured, you can still burn your own Life Force! You must have a Special Physique, right?"

"So what if I do?"

Cheng Yuan’s eyes lit up. ’A Special Physique is great! He can be refined into a Battle Pet!’

Cheng Yuan looked at Pang Haiqing as if he were a priceless treasure. "I will not allow you to waste *my* Life Force! Freeze!"

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil and launched a full-power Spiritual Shock!

BOOM!

An incomparably tyrannical spiritual wave crashed into Pang Haiqing’s Sea of Consciousness. Pang Haiqing grunted but didn’t lose consciousness instantly. Instead, he mobilized all his Spiritual Power to resist!

Pang Haiqing even had enough strength left to glance at his fleeing junior brothers and cackle, "What powerful Spiritual Power! You can indeed suppress me, but you can’t stop my junior brothers! Hehehehe!"

"Can’t stop your junior brothers? How naive!"

While maintaining the Spiritual Shock, Cheng Yuan raised a hand to form a seal and intoned, "Witch Ancestor above, grant me celestial might, bring down the Divine Thunder—Celestial Witch Divine Thunder Array! Kill!!"
