Chapter 461: 461
Zhou Yu was slightly startled.
He had thought that the Dong Family’s final trump card would be Yang Tianpeng, but it turned out to be Qiu Baiwan unexpectedly.
However, Qiu Baiwan was not to be underestimated either.
Yang Shiwu and Yan Maozong both instinctively stepped in front of Zhou Yu, with Yan Maozong whispering:
"Zhou Yu, the situation is grim."
"Although Qiu Baiwan is not of the Saint Realm, he is of the Semi-Saint level, and his strength is no less than that of a typical Saint Realm. Otherwise, let’s retreat first."
Qiu Baiwan, with his keen eyesight, immediately saw through Yan Maozong’s thoughts.
"Thinking of leaving?"
"It’s too late."
"Elder Liu, Elder Gu, you two act now and hold them back," he commanded.
"Alright."
The two men sneered sinisterly and struck simultaneously.
Left with no choice, Yan Maozong and Yang Shiwu reluctantly engaged in battle.
In a blink, the four Saint Realm experts were entangled in combat.
Seeing this, Dong Mingcheng laughed heartily.
"Zhou Yu, let me tell you, our Dong Family, Liu Family, and Gao Family have already formed a secret alliance."
"This time, let’s see who can save you."
Zhou Yu’s expression remained calm.
"Just a sordid bunch."
"Arrogant fool, submit your life," he raged as he launched his attack.
Being a Semi-Saint, his strength could almost rival that of a general Saint Realm expert, and his moves were extraordinary.
A dark shadow transformed, he instantly closed in on Zhou Yu, and threw a punch.
The violent Gang Jin completely locked on to Zhou Yu, making it unavoidable.
The onlookers like Elder Liu and Dong Mingcheng smirked coldly at this scene.
In their view, Zhou Yu could not possibly dodge Qiu Baiwan’s strike.
Thud!
Indeed, under everyone’s gaze, the punch solidly struck Zhou Yu’s chest.
However, Zhou Yu’s figure did not move an inch.
Conversely, the floor beneath his feet instantly cracked open with numerous dense fissures.
This scene stupefied everyone.
That was a punch from a Semi-Saint fighter.
Everyone thought it would kill Zhou Yu with a single punch, but who would have expected it not to even push him back a step, and be blocked just like that?
Qiu Baiwan included, remained frozen on the spot.
At that moment, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, his rigid face revealing a look of appreciation.
"Truly worthy of being a Semi-Saint expert, that punch was indeed extraordinary."
"If it were a few days ago, I indeed might not have been able to withstand it."
Zhou Yu’s words were sincere, not mocking.
Since his last few exchanges with Yang Tianpeng, he had been earnestly practicing the Blood Armor Technique and Sunflower Water True Qi.
After taking inspiration from the Blood Armor Technique, Zhou Yu’s Golden Cauldron Technique had improved by about thirty percent.
Besides, his recent practice of the Sunflower Water True Qi had also broken through.
Just now, when he took Qiu Baiwan’s punch head-on, Zhou Yu seemed unshaken, but in reality, he had utilized the enhanced protection provided by both the Blood Armor Technique and Sunflower Water True Qi.
Despite the double defense, at the moment of the punch, he still felt a brief moment of suffocation.
Qiu Baiwan was dumbfounded—he had not expected his full-force punch to be blocked by Zhou Yu so effortlessly.
"Impossible!"
"You are just an Innate-level Martial Artist, how could you possibly withstand my punch?"
"This can’t be!"
Qiu Baiwan seemed almost frenzied.
At this moment, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and launched his attack directly.
He extended his index finger, and with a flick, his Nether Fire True Qi transformed into a flaming meteor shooting forth.
Qiu Baiwan roared and threw a punch.
The violent Gang Jin directly shattered Zhou Yu’s flicking finger.
Zhou Yu did not panic; his form flickered, striking one move after another. Every punch from Qiu Baiwan carried rage. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a dozen moves, but not only did Qiu Baiwan fail to defeat Zhou Yu quickly, he actually began to be at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the Liu Family Saint Realm, amidst the fighting, warned aloud.
"Brother Qiu, Zhou Yu has only cultivated the Golden Cauldron Technique, which offers strong physical defense. However, if he continues to utilize the Golden Cauldron Technique, his energy consumption will be immense, so you just need to fight steadily, and he won’t last long."
With the Liu Family Saint Realm’s reminder, Qiu Baiwan abruptly came to his senses.
He immediately calmed his mind and began to fight steadily.
Boom, boom, boom!
The clash of their Gang Jin constantly collided; the intensity of their fight nearly matched the other four Saint Realm experts.
The formidable Gang Jin smashed the rocky ground of the courtyard into pits and craters, as if it had been bombed.
Qiu Baiwan sneered:
"Kid, you are just a mere Innate Realm, I want to see how long you can last."
A trace of mockery flashed through Zhou Yu’s eyes.
The Liu Family Saint Realm’s reminder was correct, but what the Liu Family Saint Realm did not know was that he possessed the Yi Wood True Qi, which fears no battle of attrition.
Though Qiu Baiwan was a Semi-Saint, Zhou Yu was not afraid of a war of attrition with him.
At this moment, Dong Mingcheng, watching the fight from a distance, saw that after hundreds of exchanges, there was still no sign of a victor between Zhou Yu and Qiu Baiwan, and his expression fluctuated uncertainly as he asked:
"Brother Liu, do you think Deputy Minister Qiu can take down this kid?"
Elder Liu coldly laughed.
"Is that even a question?"
"Qiu Baiwan, after all, is one of the three deputy ministers of the Martial Cabinet. His strength may not be as good as Jiang Fengnian’s, but it’s not far off."
"He is not one of those Semi-Saints built up with Spiritual Medicine."
"Although this Zhou Yu kid is a demon, just as our Liu Family Saint Realm said, as long as Brother Qiu fights steadily, that kid won’t last long.""
"Brother Liu speaks wisely."
As the fight dragged on, Qiu Baiwan gradually stopped smiling, his energy expenditure not small, yet Zhou Yu seemed just the same as at the start.
His eyes filled with shock.
Impossible.
This was too bizarre.
How could an Innate Realm expert possibly have more robust vigor than his Semi-Saint level?
Just as Qiu Baiwan was distracted momentarily, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, activated the Mountain River Step, and with lightning speed appeared behind Qiu Baiwan, simultaneously unleashing a punch.
At the moment of the punch, an explosive Gang Jin burst from Zhou Yu’s arm, resonating like a sonic boom.
"Dragon Gang Strength."
