Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 139 - 138: Lineage Severing Headbutt!

Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Lineage Severing Headbutt!

People are seldom willing to endure painful experiences, unless it is for someone else.

Originally not wanting to continue the fight, Fang Cunzai, upon hearing Zhang San’s words, suddenly leaped up from the ground like a carp flipping over, clutching his Horizontal Blade and glared at Zhang San.

At this moment, Fang Cunzai sensed his declining realm had returned.

Zhang San pointed the Horizontal Blade in his hand at Fang Cunzai and asked, "Do you dare to fight me in your strongest state at the True Core Realm?"

Confronting a second stage officer of the Spiritual Platform Realm from the Town Martial Office at the cultivation of the True Core Realm’s Five Emperors’ Proper Position was not Zhang San’s style of arrogance.

However, if the opponent was just at the pinnacle of the True Core Realm, Zhang San felt he could still give it a try.

In the next instant, Fang Cunzai sealed his own Seas of Wheels and charged at Zhang San like a rampaging bull!

Clang—

A single blade strike.

Just one strike.

Zhang San felt his hands go numb, his wrist seemingly almost broke, and although he was standing on the ground, he still slid back seven or eight steps before stopping.

Zhang San was shocked by Fang Cunzai’s violent blade strike just now, and even more shocked that his opponent had surged towards him again.

Fang Cunzai’s speed had also increased.

Zhang San had to immediately employ Blade Intent and then apply Tiger’s Life Spirit Gang, refining Qi into Gang on the blade’s edge.

Clang clang clang clang—

In an instant, Fang Cunzai’s assault was like a violent storm.

Zhang San had to employ the Wind Series Blade Technique from the Xun Wind Breathing Technique combined with Swift Wind Technique to just barely withstand Fang Cunzai’s onslaught.

Hei, watching the battle from behind, noticed that Zhang San was using the very "Xun Wind Breathing Technique" he had recently been learning.

No wonder my master asked me to cultivate "Xun Wind Breathing Technique." If my master hadn’t accelerated just now, he might have been killed by that human opponent.

Zhang San realized that only by combining Blade Intent with Tiger’s Life Spirit Gang and the speed-oriented blade technique from Xun Wind Breathing Technique could he barely withstand Fang Cunzai’s assault.

Therefore, he employed Thunder Method, wrapping his blade edge with thunder and lightning.

This time, with the addition of Thunder Method, Fang Cunzai finally began to falter a bit.

Whoosh—

Fang Cunzai swiftly retreated, staring at Zhang San with wide, bulging eyes.

"To think that you, young lad, look weak yet possess so many skills."

Zhang San chuckled, and said with a humble face, "Just average, all minor tricks."

"Good that you know they’re minor tricks!"

Zhang San’s face darkened. Can’t you hear my modesty?

However, at that moment Fang Cunzai placed his other hand on the blade of the Horizontal Blade, coldly staring at Zhang San.

"Do you know how to use the power of the Five Emperors’ Proper Position?"

Whoosh—

As Fang Cunzai’s Horizontal Blade sliced through his palm, the blade edge, soaked in fresh blood, suddenly ignited with flames.

Zhang San immediately realized that Fang Cunzai was enhancing the blade edge with his own Fire Movement power, thus compensating for the advantage that Zhang San had established by applying Thunder Method to his blade edge.

As Fang Cunzai attacked again, Zhang San had to unleash Wood Series Techniques, growing a vast amount of vine plants from the ground. These vines, taller than a man, served to slow down Fang Cunzai’s attacking speed, so that while he was defending, he wouldn’t keep being forced back.

Yet even so, Fang Cunzai’s onslaught remained fierce.

"Fang Cunzai, after we finish fighting, can you teach me how to wield the Power of the Five Elements?"

"No! I never teach the dead!"

"I’ll buy you a drink if you teach me!"

"I told you, you’ll be killed by me, ending up dead!"

"Two drinks! Isn’t it okay if I buy you drinks twice?"

"Dead man—"

Zhang San felt that his current state was just right, being slightly inferior to Fang Cunzai in all aspects.

In terms of speed, because the difference was minute, he could just keep up with Fang Cunzai’s speed.

In terms of blade techniques, because he had stacked various buffs, he was just slightly weaker than Fang Cunzai, who purely employed Blade Technique along with Fire Movement power.

So it seemed, at least for now, that he was doing alright in terms of speed and blade techniques.

He had other means of attack, but Zhang San wasn’t eager to end the battle so soon.

Battles close to the edge of life and death like this were rare. He had to seize this chance to push himself to the ultimate limits of refinement.

At the same time, Zhang San also knew that this was a chance to test whether his other abilities were up to the mark.

Like defense.

So, during the fierce clash of three strikes between the two.

Suddenly, Zhang San took a half step forward, slamming his head viciously against Fang Cunzai’s.

With a bang.

Both men staggered back a few steps.

Fang Cunzai, covering his head, looked at the blood on his hands in shock.

Meanwhile, Zhang San wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and realized his own head was sore. Looking at it, he was also bleeding.

"It seems that our levels are quite matched."

Zhang San thought that despite not having fully perfected the Five Emperors’ Proper Position Realm, he could hold his own against Fang Cunzai at the peak of the True Core Realm, which was quite impressive.

Crack!

Clang—

Zhang San had just finished speaking proudly when the Horizontal Blade in his left hand broke in the middle and fell to the ground.

This Horizontal Blade was a common one he had received when he first joined the Town Martial Office.

It was originally meant to make him look ordinary so that enemies wouldn’t easily target him during missions.

But now, seeing as he had used the Wind Series Blade Technique, applied Qi Gang to it, and even layered it with the Thunder Method,

It was, after all, just an ordinary blade, exposed to blowing, layering, and electrification, indeed prone to being played to destruction.

"Quite matched, you say?"

Seeing Zhang San’s Horizontal Blade break, Fang Cunzai immediately attacked again.

Although Zhang San still had another Horizontal Blade, that one was personally forged by Teacher Ma, and it was better saved for backup.

But at that moment, Fang Cunzai burst forth with unprecedented speed and power.

Zhang San, defending with a single Horizontal Blade, began to get the worse of Fang Cunzai’s ferocious attack.

However, Zhang San also discovered his own advantage—his unyielding head!

Fang Cunzai was strong, but he had not refined his body, unlike Zhang San, who had primarily refined his head.

Thus, every time Fang Cunzai was about to defeat Zhang San, Zhang San would seize the opportunity to rush forward with a headbutt.

Fang Cunzai and Zhang San were both bloodied.

At that moment, Zhang San realized that if he continued to persist in body refinement, relying on his physical constitution, he could indeed challenge across realms.

However, as Zhang San was delightfully pondering this, he was momentarily distracted and was cleaved back three to four steps by Fang Cunzai’s blade.

Just as Zhang San was planning to use the retreat to dissipate the force and then look for an opportunity to counterattack, he suddenly crashed into a large rock behind him.

Darn it! He was trapped!

Simultaneously, as Fang Cunzai rushed up, he swept with a kick.

With a boom, this kick even shattered the boulder behind Zhang San into a ravine.

Fortunately, Zhang San managed to block the approaching kick with his left hand using the Thunder Method.

But the blade in Fang Cunzai’s hand fell again, aiming directly at Zhang San’s head.

Clang!

Zhang San clenched his teeth and raised his blade to hard block the strike.

Zhang San felt his trembling right hand was somewhat failing to hold, so he immediately used the Wood Series Spell, causing countless vines to grow from the ground and entwine to form another hand, which helped him block the slashing attack from Fang Cunzai.

This was the first time Fang Cunzai had seen someone in a martial exchange conjure an additional hand with a technique to help block a blade.

"Zhang San, give it up! Come back to the Town Martial Office with me and confess the facts of your defamation against Officer Bai!"

Zhang San was somewhat excited because this battle really taught him a lot.

Zhang San also felt a bit helpless, as Fang Cunzai still believed Bai Yucheng was a good person up to this point.

Alas—

"Fang Cunzai, have you ever heard of the strongest martial style?"

"What martial style?"

Zhang San’s lips curled upward, his eyes filled with a sinister look.

"Lineage Severing Headbutt!"
