Chapter 126: Suppressing Chu Tianze!
🕑 Added 2024-09-25 07:39:27 +0000 UTC“Kill me? With just that mouth of yours?” Qin Zhi sneered, thinking to himself, Do you think you’re me?
“Kill!” Chu Tianze roared, charging at Qin Zhi. A massive peacock shadow appeared behind him, radiating dazzling multicolored light.
Boom!
Qin Zhi suddenly felt an overwhelming force crash toward him, as if he were about to be swallowed by the torrent of five-colored light. His face paled slightly. Chu Tianze’s strength was indeed formidable, though mostly because his cultivation level was higher. Qin Zhi had recently absorbed several fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation had soared to the seventh level of the Tongtian Realm. However, Chu Tianze was already at the ninth level, giving him a natural advantage.
If Chu Tianze had been an ordinary ninth-level cultivator, Qin Zhi’s powerful divine body and the boosts from his opportunities wouldn’t have made him feel pressured. However, his opponent was also a genius with immense combat prowess, making the battle significantly more challenging.
But…
This was all part of the plan!
After all, Qin Zhi had come to challenge the young master of the Chu family, Chu Zhongtian. How could he not handle this insignificant brother?
“Divine Power, manifest!” Qin Zhi roared to the sky. Rings of golden light erupted from his body—six in total. His aura surged, growing fiercer like an awakened beast.
Boom!
Qin Zhi threw a punch, and golden light blasted out, forming a mighty torrent of energy that collided with Chu Tianze.
Clang!
A massive explosion reverberated as Chu Tianze’s multicolored peacock shadow clashed with Qin Zhi’s golden fist light. Neither side dissipated immediately; they locked in a stalemate, struggling for dominance.
“Five-Colored Heavenly Calamity!” Chu Tianze shouted. The peacock’s tail feathers suddenly grew, stretching out like vines toward Qin Zhi. Each feather emanated destructive energy, exuding an overwhelming sense of danger.
“Not good.” Qin Zhi’s heart raced. He flipped backward repeatedly, narrowly dodging the deadly feathers as they pierced the ground, each impact triggering a violent explosion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From a distance, it looked as though Qin Zhi was flipping through a minefield, each somersault followed by an explosion in a straight line.
After avoiding the last tail feather, Qin Zhi soared into the sky, raising his hands to conjure a massive fire lotus.
“Inferno Red Lotus!” he shouted.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion of fire erupted, sending a mushroom cloud into the sky. The grand gate of the Chu family’s compound activated a defensive formation in response.
“Ah!” Chu Tianze screamed as he was caught in the center of the explosion. His peacock shadow was riddled with holes, on the verge of disintegration, and his once-luxurious clothes were now tattered and singed.
“Unforgivable!” Chu Tianze’s eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at his battered appearance, fury consuming him like a wounded beast, his ferocity ignited.
Hissing sounds echoed as crimson vapor seeped from his body like steam, rising into the sky and forming a blazing cloud above him.
“A million… fire crows!” he shouted.
The fire cloud flashed brightly, and countless red crows, their wings aflame, flew out, swarming toward Qin Zhi in a fiery onslaught.
Whoosh!
The fire crows blotted out the sky like a swarm of locusts, their passage distorting the air with heat and explosions.
“One Finger to Seal the Heavens!” Qin Zhi growled. Countless runes and sigils appeared around him, swirling like a cyclone. Raising his right hand, he pointed forward.
Buzz!
The runes and sigils flowed to his fingertip, forming a mysterious barrier of light. Just as the fire crows collided with it—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fire crows hit the barrier like raindrops on a calm lake, creating ripples before being absorbed into the light. Each crow left behind a lifelike imprint on the barrier.
“How is this possible?!” Chu Tianze’s face turned pale with disbelief. His powerful attack, the Million Fire Crows, had been casually blocked! Even his brother, Chu Zhongtian, would have to give his all to defend against it—there was no way someone should be able to stop it so easily.
Moreover, Qin Zhi’s cultivation was lower than his!
“Take it back!” Qin Zhi sneered, flicking his wrist. The barrier, now adorned with countless fire crow imprints, folded like a scroll and rushed toward Chu Tianze.
“Break!” Chu Tianze thrust his palm forward, sending a blinding white beam of light into the sky to shatter the incoming scroll.
Boom!
A massive explosion of fire erupted, but it only made things worse. The scroll seemed to burst like a broken bag, releasing a torrent of fire crows that engulfed Chu Tianze.
“Trying to hurt me with my own fire crows? Dream on!” Chu Tianze stood tall amidst the flames, like an island in a sea of fire. He appeared as the master of the fire crows, ruling over the inferno.
“Is that so?” Qin Zhi sneered. “These crows are mine now!”
As soon as his words fell, the countless fire crows exploded, merging into one massive crow that swallowed Chu Tianze whole.
“What?!”
Panic seized Chu Tianze. He tried to fight back, but the scorching flames constricted him from every side, compressing into an inescapable prison.
“You can’t trap me!” he roared, unleashing a tremendous force that held the flames at bay. However, breaking free would take time—time that Qin Zhi had no intention of giving him.
In the next moment, Qin Zhi appeared in front of the gigantic fire crow and punched toward it.
Clang!
“Agh!” Chu Tianze’s pained scream echoed as if someone had struck a bell while he was trapped inside. The impact reverberated through his organs, making him bleed from all seven orifices.
With that one punch, the giant fire crow shattered, sending Chu Tianze flying backward through the sky before he crashed heavily to the ground, blood covering his entire body.
“You… you…!” Chu Tianze weakly raised his hand to point at Qin Zhi but coughed up more blood before he could finish.
“Second young master!” The Chu family retainers rushed to his side, but Chu Tianze pushed them away, covering his face in shame, unwilling to show his disgrace.
“Kill him! Kill him!!” he roared, all reason drowned by humiliation and rage.
“But… he’s Qin Chuan’s son,” one of the retainers muttered hesitantly.
Chu Tianze, consumed by madness, bellowed, “I don’t care who he is! Kill him, or I’ll kill all of you!!”
The retainers exchanged conflicted glances, trapped between their duty and their fear of offending Qin Chuan.
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill—”
Before Chu Tianze could finish, a sharp slap echoed through the air, and his head snapped to the side.
Slap!
Time seemed to freeze. Everyone stood in stunned silence.
Then, the retainers suddenly fell to one knee, their eyes filled with awe. “Greetings, young master!”
Chu Tianze, dazed for a moment, finally came to his senses. His eyes widened in fear as he turned to look at the tall figure who had appeared. “B-Brother…”
“Go back inside,” the man said coolly.
Biting his lip, Chu Tianze lowered his head in submission and walked back toward the Chu family’s estate without another word.
The figure then turned his gaze to Qin Zhi.
At that moment, Qin Zhi got a clear look at him—this was a handsome young man with purple hair, slightly curly like a lion’s mane, giving his otherwise slender frame an air of regal authority. Between his brows was a purple lightning mark, perfectly complementing his imposing aura.
“You’re Chu Zhongtian?” Qin Zhi took a deep breath, feeling an immense pressure. The man before him was far more intimidating than Lu Chong had ever been.
Chu Zhongtian, indeed, was like the midday sun—blazing, unstoppable!
