Chapter 610: 42 Chapters is just one punch

Jacob couldn’t understand what Zhu Zhigang was saying, just like Zhu Zhigang couldn’t understand him either.

But the opening speech had to be recited, as it was the rule of the Martial Arts World; one must announce their sect before a fight.

Following that, Jacob received a punch straight to his face.

Zhu Zhigang was very excited, his strikes faster than usual by a noticeable margin.

He had not expected that his dream of becoming a Hero, unachievable in another universe, was about to come true here.

He hadn’t been on this continent for long, but he had already set the Imperial Palace on fire, easily escaped amidst the encirclement of guards, then went on to raid a judicial execution, and now he was matching skills with a barbarian expert.

Zhu Zhigang was thoroughly indulging his Hero addiction, without the worry of being arrested by the police.

If he had known the work here suited him so well, he wouldn’t have stayed as a security guard at Poly Heart Speech.

In his excitement, Zhu Zhigang couldn’t help but let out a long howl to the sky, his fists striking like the wind, leaving Jacob confused and directionless.

Mainly because Jacob was still bewildered, unable to grasp what was happening.

The supposedly dead Lord Moen appeared before him again, speaking in a language he couldn’t understand at all, and attacked him upon meeting.

Jacob felt his brain wasn’t quite keeping up.

It wasn’t until the punches rained down on him like droplets, the pain finally snapping him back to reality.

The Moen before him was evidently unusual, not the Moen he once knew.

Could it be Moen’s brother or something?

But regardless, the pair of wings on the back of this Moen-like figure couldn’t fool anyone, proving he too was from the Wing Tribe. So, why then would he attack his own kind?

Could it be that there was a traitor among them?

Jacob was full of questions, but his body finally reacted, starting to defend and counterattack.

However, the Martial Arts used by the opponent were quite strange, something Jacob had never seen before.

They weren’t particularly strong but gave off a very bizarre feeling.

After fighting a while longer, Jacob suddenly realized why the feeling was so strange—although his opponent also had wings.

But this guy wasn’t proficient in using his wings, relying more on terrestrial Martial Arts.

Seeing Jacob stabilizing his position after initial disarray, matching him move for move, Zhu Zhigang was more thrilled than alarmed.

Although Zhu Zhigang had been pondering how to integrate his Martial Arts with his new body since his rebirth, he wasn’t a native Wing Tribesman and didn’t handle the wings as fluently as a real Wing Tribesman would.

His previous battles had been only against foes who couldn’t fly, defeating them easily with his well-practiced Martial Arts and the addition of wings.

It was only now, facing a real expert, that Zhu Zhigang realized there was still much he could learn and improve.

He felt ashamed of his previously complacent attitude after just a little accomplishment, voraciously absorbing lessons from Jacob.

Zhu Zhigang now wished nothing more than to battle Jacob for three days and nights.

But Jacob didn’t want to linger with Zhu Zhigang; he hadn’t forgotten that the armies of the imperial people were nearby.

And with the expert, Ireya, who had once defeated Moen, stationed nearby, Jacob relied on quickly getting out of there.

Yet, he just couldn’t shake off the completely "unknown" Moen in front of him.

Although everyone was from the Wing Tribe, in terms of flying speed, the Seagull Tribe was no match for the Grey Eagle Tribe.

In other words, unless he defeated Zhu Zhigang, Jacob wouldn’t be able to leave.

Having realized this, Jacob finally set aside his distractions and started to take the situation seriously.

He drew the two daggers hanging at his waist, one in each hand, his gaze sharp and intense.

"I don’t know if you are Lord Moen, but since you’ve already betrayed the Mother Goddess, don’t blame me for being ruthless," he said.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhigang nodded in approval and said, "Good, you’re finally showing your weapons."

He then pulled out a pair of Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords.

These were the unique weapons of the Eight Diagrams Sect Leader, also known as the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords.

The swords, one male and one female, resembled two intersecting crescent moons, with four tips, nine blades, and thirteen edges, allowing for thousands of unpredictable movements when combined with the footwork of the Eight Diagrams Sect Leader.

Moreover, their most important feature was their lightness and compactness, making them easy to carry, weighing only about a jin.

Zhu Zhigang, wielding the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords, gestured for Jacob to begin.

Jacob, recognizing the gesture, snorted coldly and without further words, lunged forward with his daggers.

But soon he encountered trouble; the renowned exquisiteness of Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords in the martial arts world was not without reason.

Their unique shape made it easy to hook an opponent’s weapon.

In the movie "Master," Liao Fan, playing the Southern Sect Master Chen Shi, encountered a master of the Eight Diagrams Sect in the final alley fight.

Liao Fan was at a disadvantage right from the start, praising the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords as fine weapons.

Now, Jacob was also experiencing the power of the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords, and Zhu Zhigang was proficient not only in hooking but also in lifting, buckling, chopping, hanging, capturing, grabbing, sweeping, poking, and other techniques.

Jacob felt his daggers were completely countered, unable to display his martial arts skills.

Moreover, he had been fighting Zhu Zhigang for a while, and he didn’t know when the latter’s reinforcements would arrive, which made him increasingly impatient as the battle continued.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhigang was calm and composed, once again immersed in the realm of martial arts.

He had been practicing with the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords for a while and had always liked this weapon.

Just by its fierce appearance, one could tell that it was not a prop for performance or show, but a genuine lethal weapon.

Unfortunately, due to regulatory restrictions, Zhu Zhigang had never had a chance to use it in real combat.

Of course, this was no longer a problem now.

As the fight progressed, Jacob’s vulnerabilities increased, and his daggers were consecutively flicked away by Zhu Zhigang.

If Zhu Zhigang hadn’t been merciful, Jacob would likely have been pierced with several holes by now.

Eventually, Zhu Zhigang placed the Sun and Moon Qiankun Swords at Jacob’s neck and exhaled deeply, saying, "Thanks for the match."

After his defeat, Jacob’s face turned ashen, and Zhu Zhigang escorted him back to the ground like that.

Finally, Li Yu and the Lady also arrived at the scene.

Zhu Zhigang handed Jacob over to four guards of the Arias family, who shackled him in chains, and then returned the dueling pistol to Li Yu.

"Prophet, mission accomplished, and I didn’t even need to use the gun," he said.

Li Yu looked at him and said, "You can keep it for self-defense."

"Forget it, I don’t like firearms," Zhu Zhigang shook his head. "It’s these things that are leading to the decline of martial arts."

"No, what really leads to the extinction of martial arts isn’t guns. Heroes break the law with martial arts, and in times of peace, states don’t wish to have too many people practicing martial arts; the management cost is too high."
