Chapter 72 Zheng Chaoyang Enters the Grandmaster Realm
Just then, Wang Chenglin suppressed the turmoil and unease in his heart, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to shield his almost limp younger brother.
His gaze sharpened as he looked at Zhang Yuan, his voice low and slightly hoarse: "Zhang Qingyang! Impressive methods! Impressive courage! Qin Hu's execution was his own fault!"
He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely serious, carrying a scrutinizing and almost interrogative undertone: "Given your current status and the power you've displayed, my Wang family naturally wouldn't, and wouldn't deign to, make things difficult for you over a dead Qin Hu. As long as you behave yourself, as long as my Wang family is here in Fengming County, the remnants of the Black Tiger Gang will never dare to touch you in the slightest!"
He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Zhang Yuan, as if trying to pierce his soul, and asked, word by word, "I only ask you one question: In today's situation, killing Qin Hu is merely a pretext; is your sword aimed at my Wang family?!"
These words came out like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
Everyone in the attic gasped in shock!
The air seemed to freeze!
Countless shocked, horrified, and inquisitive gazes were focused on Zhang Yuan and Wang Chenglin!
Wang family!
A behemoth in Fengming County!
Could it be that Zhang Qingyang, with his mere child's body, truly dares to shake this great tree?!
Zhang Yuan remained calm, as if Wang Chenglin's earth-shattering question was merely a gentle breeze.
He slightly raised his eyelids to look at the second young master of the Wang family, his voice calm and even, yet clearly echoing in the deathly silent attic: "Your Wang family—"
"You want to be my enemy?"
This seemingly casual rhetorical question is more powerful than any roar!
Neither admitting nor denying, the question was thrown back directly, accompanied by a sense of disdain and indifference!
It's as if it's saying: Whether you're friend or foe is up to you, but what do I, Zhang Yuan, have to fear?
Wang Chenglin was momentarily speechless at this almost arrogant retort. A surge of anger at being slighted welled up inside him. His face turned ashen, his chest heaved violently, and he shouted sharply, "Zhang Qingyang! You are—!"
"Boom—!!!"
His angry shout was abruptly interrupted by a deafening, earth-shattering roar!
The roaring sound didn't come from nearby, but rather rolled in from the direction of Heishuidu in the distance!
Its power was so great that it seemed as if the entire Fengming County was trembling!
Everyone turned to look in horror!
From the direction of Blackwater Ferry, the sharp blade of Wang Chenghuai, the head constable of Fengming County, shattered instantly, like fragile glass struck by a heavy hammer, under the impact of the suddenly surging, all-consuming, filthy demonic light!
The sword light was completely extinguished!
That previously barely maintained defensive line has collapsed!
What was even more terrifying was that the overwhelming, filthy demonic light, after shattering the sword light, did not dissipate. Instead, like an ancient ferocious demon that had broken free of its restraints, it surged toward Fengming County with an aura of destruction.
"Waaaaah—!"
The piercing siren blared throughout the city in an instant!
Immediately afterward, a panicked roar filled with boundless fear exploded from the direction of the city wall, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in Tingtao Pavilion: "Captain Wang Chenghuai—dead in battle!!!"
"The Blackwater Demon breaks through the formation—the Martial Guard is routed!!"
"Evil spirits—evil spirits are attacking the county town!!!"
"Big brother—died in battle?" Wang Chenglin's angry expression and questioning froze instantly, like a sculpture frozen in ice.
His face, which had just been flushed with anger, instantly lost all color and turned ashen!
He swayed, almost unable to stand, his eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and utter despair!
Beside him, Wang Chengyu collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes glazed over as he stared blankly at the all-consuming demonic light in the direction of Blackwater Ferry. His lips trembled, and he could only mutter unconsciously, "Big brother—big brother—died in battle—died—"
The sound was like a dream, filled with endless fear and despair.
Zhang Yuan's gaze was instantly drawn to the devastating scene in the distance.
A monstrous, filthy light swept in like an apocalyptic tsunami, causing sand and river water to recede and the sky to darken wherever it passed!
The terrifying pressure made him feel suffocated, even from such a distance.
The power of the newly awakened mid-stage Acquired Realm within his body was as insignificant as dust before such divine might!
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and the weak are nothing more than ants!
The overwhelming demonic light swept in like an apocalyptic tsunami, and wherever it passed, the Chensha River surged back wildly, turning into a giant black wave tens of meters high, emitting a deafening roar!
The sky instantly darkened, and a terrifying pressure seemed to freeze the air. The wave, carrying an aura of destruction, was crashing towards Fengming County with overwhelming force!
On the river, boats of all sizes, unable to dodge in time, were like fragile fallen leaves, easily tossed up, torn apart, and crushed beneath the turbid waves.
The panicked people on the shore cried out in despair, scattering like ants, but there was nowhere to hide.
Even the Tingtao Pavilion by the river trembled violently before the might of heaven and earth, its windows groaning as if it would be smashed to pieces by the man-eating giant waves at any moment!
At this critical moment!
On the official boat moored in the middle of the river, a figure in a green robe darted out of the cabin like a startled swan and stood at the bow!
It was Chen Wenyuan!
Chen Wenyuan, a ninth-rank counselor in Fengming County.
His face was as calm as still water, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes, only a calm and collected demeanor of someone who had everything under control.
He held his fingers together like a pen, his fingertips gleaming with golden light, and wrote swiftly in mid-air!
One by one, huge golden talismans appeared out of the sky, coalescing into a "Demon Subduing Order" imbued with righteous energy!
"The imperial edict reads: The righteous path of Heaven and Earth cannot be violated by evil spirits! You vile creatures have disrupted my rivers and streams, bringing calamity to the people; your crimes are unforgivable! Now, by the mandate of Heaven, upholding the will of the people, and enforcing the law, I hereby order you to suppress this calamity!"
Each word was as large as a bushel, radiating golden light and instantly illuminating the dim river surface!
"Suppress!" Magistrate Wang Mingyuan's voice rang out like a resounding bell!
He raised an ancient and heavy official seal high and slammed it onto the golden rune!
"Buzz—!"
An indescribable, immense power descended instantly!
That is the power of the people's support, the will of the people, and the order of the entire Fengming County; it is also the unseen rule of the great laws of this region!
This power was suddenly injected into the golden "Demon Subduing Order"!
Golden light surged!
The Demon-Subduing Decree instantly transformed into a gigantic golden longsword that reached the sky!
The blade shimmered with light, countless fine runes swirling around it, radiating a majestic heavenly power that pointed directly at the filthy demonic light that was rushing towards it!
Its power was so great that it even forced the overwhelming demonic energy to retreat a bit!
"Master Zheng!"
Chen Wenyuan's clear and melodious voice rang out.
"Zheng is here!"
With a long howl, a figure soared into the sky from the deck of the official ship!
It was none other than Zheng Chaoyang, the owner of the Pan Shi Martial Arts Academy!
The moment he stepped into the air, a powerful aura, dormant for many years and as heavy as a mountain, suddenly erupted!
The bottleneck that had kept him stuck at the half-step Grandmaster realm for many years was shattered as if by a natural outcome under the powerful opportunity of the combined forces of Heaven, Earth, and Man to subdue demons and protect the righteous path!
A brand new, even more magnificent and vast, terrifying aura, seemingly connected to the earth and mountains, swept across all directions!
Grandmaster Realm!
A genuine martial arts master!
