Chapter 521: Diamond Stance Crushed by Force

"Enough, there is no point in saying more!"

Zhou You waved a hand, his tone carrying an unquestionable firmness.

Chu Weisheng was choked up for a moment; this kid was using his own lines!

He glanced at Yan Baihu to the side, discovering that the other party had no intention of intervening, confirming he was just a passerby watching the excitement.

"Zhou You, I now, in my capacity as Vice President of the Martial Arts Association, order you to hand over this opportunity."

Heh, he's grown, learning to use power to pressure others.

Zhou You only just remembered that Chu Weisheng, following Yan Shan, also held the title of Vice President of the Martial Arts Association.

The world only knew that Martial Arts Association President Yan Shan was the number one martial artist, often overlooking Chu Weisheng, a Senior Martial Artist who was also one of the several Vice Presidents.

Daqian Martial Arts Hall was a member of the Martial Arts Association; theoretically, it had to listen to the Vice President's instructions.

The Martial Arts Association, like other guilds of the hundred crafts, occupied the pinnacle of industry monopoly, using the majority to oppress the minority and setting internal rules; anyone who did not follow the rules would immediately face a boycott, ending up bankrupt and destitute.

As a Vice President, Chu Weisheng was using his power to bully others; boycotting Daqian Martial Arts Hall was truly no empty boast.

"Hall Master Zhou, why not say some nice words first and wait for a chance to pay respects to Hall Master Yan."

Even someone with a hot temper like Qin Lie knew that resisting was no longer an option; unless Zhou You wanted to cut himself off from the Fucheng Martial Arts Association, he had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat in the face of Chu Weisheng's relentless pressure.

But they all knew that the opportunity to receive guidance from the Fucheng Monarch Zhi Zhi was rare and could not be given away for nothing.

Therefore, it was better to bow one's head for now and seek justice from Yan Shan later.

Yan Baihu watched everything before him; what he cared about was how Zhou You would respond, hoping he would not disappoint him.

"Heh!"

Zhou You suddenly laughed; this world was a coliseum, and the rule of the jungle was everywhere.

The rule Chu Weisheng relied on—that the strong take all—was the principle the Overlord Martial Arts Hall had always believed in.

Even if he could escape today and have a chance to see Yan Shan, could you be certain Yan Shan would uphold justice?

Impossible! Yan Shan was a Spartan-style martial artist who treated himself and others with the same standard; the weak had no right to complain.

If Chu Weisheng could snatch the opportunity by his own ability, he would only let it be, would not interfere, and certainly would not order it returned to Zhou You.

Conversely, if Zhou You defeated Chu Weisheng with his own strength, he would likely not retaliate either.

Zhou You raised his two large hammers, holding the universe and the heavens in his grasp, and tapped them together lightly; the sound of a striking bell echoed all around.

"Chu Weisheng, if you want it, come and take it; if you can take it away, that's your ability."

His actions shocked everyone; was he trying to challenge Chu Weisheng? Chu Weisheng was Yan Shan's junior fellow apprentice; although not as famous as the Hating Overlord, he was still a Senior Martial Artist with formidable strength.

How could Zhou You possibly be his opponent?

"Good, it's a deal; if you lose, kneel and offer up this opportunity."

Chu Weisheng revealed his unique weapon, the Diamond Stance.

This weapon belonged to the staff/club category and was a weapon implement popular in the Diamond Mountain of the past, as well as the origin of the Overlord Pear.

Chu Weisheng did not have Yan Shan's heaven-sent talent to evolve the Diamond Stance into the Overlord and rank it on the Weapon Ranking; he could only practice the ancestral Diamond Stance weapon method step by step.

He looked at Zhou You's two clumsy, heavy hammers and sneered, "These two clunky things are flashy but useless; they aren't even as good as a wooden stick."

"Is that so? Take a look and then say that."

Just as Zhou You finished speaking, his feet crossed in a scissor-like stride, and the two large hammers in his hands were wielded like palm-leaf fans.

The martial artists watching all around were so shocked they clutched their chests; what kind of divine strength was this?

Any one of the two large hammers would be difficult for an ordinary martial artist to lift with both hands, but in Zhou You's hands, they were lifted as lightly as withered grass, swung at will into afterimages. Chu Weisheng had just finished boasting when retribution arrived; as the left hammer swung down, he extended the Diamond Stance to block.

The Diamond Stance had a short, thick profile and was a blunt weapon of the fierce and powerful path; the barbarians he had beaten to death on the battlefield had all suffered shattered bones and pulped flesh.

Facing the Mount Tai-like pressure of the hammer, the Diamond Stance had barely been raised before it was struck, causing his whole body to tremble.

"Impossible, the Tiger Head Hammer of Dayin Mountain is at best a third-rate weapon method, how can it have such power?"

Chu Weisheng did not believe it, panting heavily as he shouted, "Summon the Vajra Great Power to my body."

Golden light emerged from his pores like a tide, spreading along his limbs and torso; in the blink of an eye, he was plated into a golden, hulking warrior, standing imposingly with the Diamond Stance in hand.

Chu Weisheng stomped the ground like a bronze statue, causing it to shake; under the swing of his arms, the Diamond Stance transformed into a Vajra strike against Zhou You.

Roaming Dragon Vajra Stance, one of the weapon method ultimate techniques of the Overlord Martial Arts Hall.

This move, when unleashed, was like a roaming dragon coiling above, with massive power flying out, vowing not to stop until the enemy was smashed to pieces.

"The hammer method is third-rate, but I, Zhou You, am the top of the first-rate; the hammers struck from my hands are all first-rate."

Zhou You swung the two large hammers, and a roaring sound echoed in the air.

The Tiger Head Hammer imitated the bronze head and iron brain of a fierce tiger; when fighting, it used both claws to pin the enemy, then rammed and butted against the chest and forehead.

"Techniques have no strength or weakness, only people have high or low standing. A legacy as strong as the Vajra, in Yan Shan's hands, sweeps across all directions with no match, but in your hands, it can only be defeated by me."

One hammer in front struck the Roaming Dragon Vajra Stance dead on; the tiger's roar accompanied the flashing golden light as the power of Qi and blood collided.

As Chu Weisheng breathed, his body trembled faintly; this was the "combining hardness and softness" of a Senior Martial Artist, capable of overclocking the vibration of the flesh and blood to unleash power far exceeding that of a Senior Martial Artist.

Under his control, the power of the Diamond Stance rose with the tide, and it looked as if it were about to press the large hammer into the ground.

"Swish!"

Zhou You's other large hammer struck out; his fist technique used one mind for two tasks, attacking from both sides, with a level of flexibility that defied common sense.

Chu Weisheng was caught off guard and struck on the shoulder by the large hammer; his muscles instantly became as soft as cotton, caving in, then suddenly bulging and springing back.

Being able to bend and stretch, being hard and soft at will—this was the true terror of a Senior Martial Artist.

Zhou You was going head-to-head this time, without any tricky methods; the battle was real, directly embodying the limits of his strength.

Clang.

In one breath, the Diamond Stance was struck over a hundred times by the two large hammers.

The large hammers were of good quality, the ringing sound was continuous, sparks flew everywhere, yet not a single scratch was left on the surface.

"Here it comes!"

Yan Baihu's expression was originally normal, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he loosened his arms and took a few quick steps forward.

Zhou You suddenly lunged forward, like a tiger gripped by Hunger shaking its gaunt frame, and in the blink of an eye, he split into two tiger shadows.

The tiger shadows carried large hammers and circled around Chu Weisheng, their speed increasing until they stirred up a pitch-black whirlwind.

Chu Weisheng held his Diamond Stance and roared as he struck, "Vajra Shattering Strike."

Boom—a staff strike descended, and the two large hammers followed the momentum upward, directly knocking Chu Weisheng flying; he tumbled six or seven times before landing from mid-air, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.

Zhou You gripped his twin hammers and breathed heavily, his pores dilated to dissipate heat, and he was drenched in sweat.

Yan Baihu was moved; Zhou You had not even used his Flying Battle Robe, yet he had already defeated a high-level Martial Master, and the process was clean and efficient—this strength exceeded his expectations!
