Chapter 54

Boom boom boom!!

In the blink of an eye.

A violent roar echoed throughout all of Mount Wudang!

A power beyond words wove itself through the void.

Then, centered on the four Wine-Fighting Monks, it surged mightily outward in every direction!

That terrifying force—

Even the specially reinforced martial arts arena had countless stones blasted away in an instant, dust billowing on all sides!

The whole process sounds slow when described.

In truth, it happened in the span of a lightning flash!

A moment later.

The onlookers, left rather disheveled by the spreading aftershock—

Straightened themselves, their gazes fixed tightly on the center of the field.

As the dust settled!

Gazing at the crater that had suddenly appeared before them, roughly ten zhang across—

And at the four Wine-Fighting Monks inside, faces deathly pale, clothes tattered—

The corners of their mouths and the lapels of their robes, smeared with fresh blood!

Just one glance!

And the crowd's pupils contracted sharply.

Cold shivers running down their spines, their hearts filled with horror and disbelief!!

One strike!

Just a single strike!

And it had actually instant-killed four Earthly Immortal Realm experts who in the jianghu could be called stabilizing pillars!

Such an outcome—

Truly far exceeded their expectations!

Beyond their astonishment—

Their hearts were filled with an unprecedented reverence for Li Taibai of the Heavenly Being Realm!

Terrifying to such a degree!

Truly terrifying to such a degree!!

Apart from shock and horror—

There were also quite a few martial artists whose faces wore a look of doubting their entire lives!

Are we sure we're all practicing martial arts here?!?!

This technique! This destructive power!

If you told me a god had descended to the mortal world, I'd believe it!!

And just as everyone was stunned by Li Taibai's strike, unable to recover for a long time—

On the martial arts arena, there was one person who appeared different from the rest!

This person was none other than—

Zhang Sanfeng, who should have been the protagonist!

At this moment, he—

Had his eyes gently closed.

Carefully savoring the lingering resonance of Li Taibai's strike.

His whole being felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky!

Even some of the puzzling points he had encountered in his cultivation before now suddenly became clear!

Steadying his spirit, Zhang Sanfeng fell into deep thought.

'His Dao is the Hegemon-Scholar. Then what is my own Dao?'

As this thought sprang forth—

Zhang Sanfeng's mind raced through quickly.

He didn't know how long had passed.

Perhaps an hour, perhaps just the blink of an eye.

Scenes from the first half of his life flashed through his mind one by one.

And the somewhat lost look on his face gradually grew firm!

His lips couldn't help but murmur—

"Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to the myriad things. The myriad things carry yin and embrace yang, and through the clash of qi they achieve harmony. Thus, the Grand Ultimate!"

"Dao gives birth to One…"

As he kept muttering—

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, which had opened at some unknown moment, grew brighter and brighter.

The aura of one at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm erupted with a thunderous boom!

Even when it reached the maximum a Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator could display, the speed of its ascent showed not the slightest sign of slowing!

Meanwhile, above his head—

A black-and-white yin-yang fish appeared out of thin air, slowly beginning to rotate.

This scene—

As the one with the highest cultivation present, Li Taibai naturally noticed it at the first instant.

He turned instinctively to glance at him, and could not help secretly nodding in his heart.

'Truly worthy of being the person the Dragon Head values highly!'

'Not only is his comprehension terrifying, even the Dao he has comprehended is extremely special; if he does not fall, his achievements may well not be beneath mine!'

PS: Author here — these few days I have to pay New Year visits, around the seventh or eighth of the month I'll return to normal updates, minimum five chapters a day, thank you all my handsome fellows for your support!

039 — Confined to the land for thirty years, in one morning entering the Heavenly Being Realm! (Begging for flowers, begging for tips)

"Zhang... Zhang Zhenren is... about... about to break through??"

The melon-eating onlookers who realized it belatedly.

Stared dumbly at the yin-yang fish circulating ever more freely in the void.

Feeling the increasingly domineering pressure emanating from Zhang Sanfeng's body.

Instinctively sucked in a breath of cold air, exclaiming in awe.

With shock, envy, and longing all present in their eyes at once.

A thought flashed through their minds.

Wu Dang is probably about to take off!!

Judging from the methods Li Taibai had just displayed.

The strength of the Heavenly Being Realm is enough to glimpse the whole from a part, plainly evident!

Not to mention.

The current Wu Dang also has the colossal Qinglong Society backing it!

Setting everything else aside.

Just Li Taibai alone is already this terrifying.

Then, as the Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi — just how terrifying is he?!

Besides that.

They had not forgotten.

When Li Taibai introduced himself earlier, he had mentioned.

He is only the Fifth Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society!

While Zhang Sanfeng is the Seventh Dragon Head.

In other words.

Apart from the two of them and the already-known Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi.

There are at least four more Dragon Heads!
