Chapter 548: Destroyed with Ease

Zhou Botong's purpose was clear: to kill Zhu Ying and avenge his senior brother!

However.

Zhou Botong possessed only the strength of a Peak Grandmaster; he had not yet entered the Divine Ability Realm. Naturally, judging by his current strength, he was no match for Zhu Ying.

As Zhou Botong drew out the true qi within his body, he instantly released it toward Zhu Ying. At the same time, he unleashed his ultimate martial technique, the Kongming Fist!

In a flash, the surge of true qi formed by the Kongming Fist charged directly at Zhu Ying.

But Zhu Ying did not dodge at all!

Seeing this scene, expressions of shock appeared on the faces of the onlookers.

No one had expected that this rumored Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming would actually dare to take the Kongming Fist head-on.

"Bang!!"

A massive explosion rang out.

The fist qi released by Zhou Botong's Kongming Fist slammed directly into Zhu Ying's body, but... Zhu Ying suffered no injury whatsoever.

The layer of true qi surrounding Zhu Ying successfully neutralized Zhou Botong's Kongming Fist.

"Is that it?"

"Zhou Botong, your strength is far inferior to your senior brother's. With just you, how could you possibly seek revenge?"

Zhu Ying completely disregarded Zhou Botong, and upon hearing these words, a murderous intent immediately flared in the latter's eyes!

"Dammit!"

"This guy is actually this strong."

Originally, Zhou Botong believed that as long as he used the Kongming Fist, he would surely be able to heavily wound Zhu Ying. He never expected that his lifelong ultimate martial technique wouldn't even be able to scratch a single hair on Zhu Ying.

Suddenly, a fierce sense of frustration surged in his heart.

"Just you wait!"

Clearly, Zhou Botong was becoming agitated. He took a deep breath and once again mobilized the true qi within his body.

To be honest, although Zhou Botong's true qi was not as abundant as Wang Chongyang's, his actual combat ability was significantly higher than Wang Chongyang's.

Moreover, most importantly, Zhou Botong knew the technique of Ambidextrous Fighting.

Now that Zhou Botong had reached the realm of a Peak Grandmaster, once he utilized the Ambidextrous Fighting technique again, the true qi he released instantly coalesced into the form of Zhou Botong himself!

In other words... Zhou Botong had created a clone!

The Zhou Botong formed from true qi possessed the exact same strength as the original, and his realm was also that of a Peak Grandmaster!

Truth be told.

When Zhu Ying saw this, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.

He had not expected Zhou Botong to have practiced the Ambidextrous Fighting technique to such a degree.

In the next second.

Zhou Botong and his released clone charged at Zhu Ying almost simultaneously.

At the same time, Zhu Ying began to take things seriously.

Zhu Ying directly unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

In a flash.

As a burst of golden light appeared, eighteen giant dragons erupted from within Zhu Ying's body. These eighteen golden-shining dragons charged toward Zhou Botong.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce clash.

For a moment, the entire sky turned dark, and even a thunderstorm broke out!

These eighteen giant dragons continuously launched sneak attacks on Zhou Botong. Although the latter could defend to a certain extent using the Ambidextrous Fighting technique, everyone understood that, given time, Zhou Botong would surely die from exhaustion!

At this moment.

Huang Yaoshi immediately spoke up: "It seems the Old Mischief is no match for the Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming."

"Hong Qigong, why don't we lend the Old Mischief a hand?"

As one of the Five Greats, Huang Yaoshi clearly perceived that Zhou Botong could not defeat Zhu Ying, so he made the suggestion to Hong Qigong.

Seeing this, Hong Qigong naturally nodded.

"Very well!"

With that said.

Hong Qigong flew directly into the void.

"Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"

As the Chief of the Beggars' Sect, Hong Qigong's signature technique was naturally also the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. To be honest, when Hong Qigong saw the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms used by Zhu Ying, he was somewhat startled.

Because... Hong Qigong could clearly feel that the power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms released by Zhu Ying was significantly sharper than his own!

Sure enough.

When Hong Qigong utilized the true qi in his body to release the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, although a giant dragon appeared, it was only a single one, and it was a dragon formed solely from true qi.

Its destructive power could not even be compared to the golden dragons released by Zhu Ying!

Simultaneously.

Seeing Hong Qigong take action, Huang Yaoshi did not hesitate. In the next second, Huang Yaoshi also used his signature technique, the Finger Flicking Divine Skill!

However.

Even though Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi had acted, neither of them could harm Zhu Ying at all.

In fact, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, and the previous Zhou Botong were completely trapped by the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms displayed by Zhu Ying.

"Boring."

"With just the few of you, you are no match for me."

To be honest.

Zhu Ying was gradually losing patience. Originally, he thought these people could force him to be serious, but in reality, even with these three working together, they could not even harm a single hair on him.

Therefore... Zhu Ying completely lost his patience.

Zhu Ying once again mobilized the true qi in his body, and immediately following, he unleashed the One Yang Finger!

"Bang!"

In an instant, the One Yang Finger technique formed three streaks of true qi, which suddenly shot toward Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, and Hong Qigong respectively!

In an instant.

The three of them hurriedly mobilized their internal true qi, attempting to block the impact of the One Yang Finger!

Unfortunately.

Zhu Ying's One Yang Finger was no ordinary One Yang Finger; it was infused with dense true qi, making its strength far greater.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Following three massive explosions... whether it was Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, or Hong Qigong, they were all instantly struck by the One Yang Finger.

The walls of true qi they had formed were utterly unable to withstand Zhu Ying's impact!

A few seconds later.

The three of them died instantly!

"Father!"

Seeing Huang Yaoshi struck by the One Yang Finger released by Zhu Ying, Huang Rong immediately ran to his side.

Regrettably.

Huang Yaoshi had already passed away.

As for Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong, because their internal strength was slightly stronger than Huang Yaoshi's, they managed to survive!

"You... you actually killed my father!"

"I will never let you go!"

Without a doubt, Huang Rong's mental state had completely collapsed. She immediately gripped her Dog Beating Staff and charged directly toward Zhu Ying.

Unfortunately, Huang Rong's strength was quite weak; she could naturally not be a match for Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying merely waved his hand lightly.

Then, an invisible wave of true qi charged directly at Huang Rong.

In an instant... Huang Rong's body was directly corroded by this true qi!

"Rong'er!"

"You..." When Guo Jing saw Huang Rong killed by Zhu Ying in such a manner, leaving not even an intact corpse, his composure completely shattered.

"I will fight you to the death!"

Guo Jing cursed at Zhu Ying, and at the same time, he immediately unleashed his ultimate technique, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

To be honest, after seeing Huang Rong killed by the Imperial Grandson before him, Guo Jing's mental state had completely exploded. For him, even if he had to exhaust his very life, he would avenge Huang Rong. Thus, Guo Jing released all the true qi within his body.

One must know that Guo Jing's realm had also entered the Peak Grandmaster stage, making him a top-tier expert in this comprehensive martial arts world.

When Guo Jing fought with his life on the line, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were indeed quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ying was still Zhu Ying.

As an expert of the Divine Ability Realm, facing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms unleashed by Guo Jing, Zhu Ying did not even blink. He merely gave a light wave, and a powerful, invisible force appeared before him.

This was the True Dragon Qi.

Immediately, this True Dragon Qi completely swallowed the dragon qi released by Guo Jing's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Seeing this, the onlookers undoubtedly showed expressions of shock.

How is this possible? Great Hero Guo's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were the culmination of his life's work, yet they still could not harm the Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming.

Indeed, it seemed this person's realm had at least reached the peak of the Divine Ability Realm.

Is the State of Song truly doomed? With our strength, we likely cannot kill an expert of the Divine Ability Realm.

Even if there is no chance, we must fight to the death.

Upon seeing Zhu Ying's strength, although the other martial arts experts were still quite terrified, they all understood that if they retreated, there would truly be no way out.

Therefore, at that moment, these martial arts experts began to gather the true qi within their bodies, seemingly intending to fight Zhu Ying to the death together.

And above the void.

Zhu Ying seemed to have noticed this.

With a cold tone, Zhu Ying spoke to the crowd: "I happen to have no interest in fighting you one by one. All of you come at me together, so as not to waste my time."

Hearing this, the crowd naturally did not hesitate.

The first to exert force was Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng's ultimate technique was also the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. It could be said that among the current martial arts experts, a total of three people knew how to use the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms: Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, and Xiao Feng.

As Xiao Feng gathered the true qi in his body and concentrated it in his hands, he took a deep breath and exerted it with all his might.

In this way, the palm qi of Xiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms formed an invisible giant dragon, which then charged toward Zhu Ying at high speed.

Seeing this, Guo Jing naturally did not hesitate. He also expended the true qi in his body and once again used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

And Hong Qigong, who had been injured by Zhu Ying earlier, seeing this, gritted his teeth and exhausted all his strength. He even went so far as to risk his life to use his final move, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Thus, three invisible giant dragons charged toward Zhu Ying at extreme speeds.

However, seeing this, there was no fear on Zhu Ying's face; there wasn't even a slight change in his expression. He lightly flicked his fingers and once again used the One Yang Finger.

This One Yang Finger was like a sharp sword, directly piercing through the three invisible giant dragons.

Bang!!!

After a massive explosion, the three giant dragons were instantly reduced to ash. Immediately following, the One Yang Finger released by Zhu Ying stabbed directly at Guo Jing, Xiao Feng, and the fallen Hong Qigong.

The three were instantly killed by Zhu Ying.

Without a doubt, Zhu Ying, who was at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm, was performing a complete dimensional strike against these martial arts experts of the State of Song.

After this battle, the other experts of the State of Song fully realized Zhu Ying's terrifying power.

Xuzhu, Duan Yu, Yang Guo, as well as Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Fu, exchanged glances. They understood that if they wanted to live, they could only give their all to kill Zhu Ying together.

Immediately, these people released the true qi within their bodies and ascended into the air.

Yang Guo was the first to roar at Zhu Ying: "Today is your day of sacrifice! Even if we lose our lives, we will kill you!"

In the next second, Yang Guo directly used the Sorrowful Palm.

Little did he know that at the very moment Yang Guo made his move, Zhu Ying also lightly waved his right hand. What Yang Guo did not expect was that Zhu Ying actually knew the Sorrowful Palm as well!

Suddenly, the two surges of true qi released by the Sorrowful Palms collided directly.

However, Yang Guo was only a Peak Grandmaster; although he was at the pinnacle of the current era and recognized as a top expert in the martial world, he was like an ant before Zhu Ying.

The true qi of the Sorrowful Palm used by Zhu Ying completely swallowed Yang Guo's. Subsequently, this even more powerful Sorrowful Palm slammed violently into Yang Guo's body.

The latter spat blood and died instantly.

At that moment, Duan Yu also immediately unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

Although Duan Yu was from the Kingdom of Dali, his sworn brother Xiao Feng had just been killed by Zhu Ying, so the loyal Duan Yu naturally had to avenge his brother.

Thus, Duan Yu directly used the ultimate technique of the Dali Kingdom, the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

In a flash, streaks of intense and surging true qi stabbed toward Zhu Ying.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying also used the Six Meridian Divine Sword to stab toward Duan Yu.

Fortunately, seeing this, Duan Yu hurriedly used the Lingbo Microsteps and successfully dodged this round of attacks.

"How is this possible? Why do you know the ultimate technique of my Dali Kingdom?"

"The Six Meridian Divine Sword is the ultimate technique of the Duan clan."

"How can you know the Six Meridian Divine Sword!!"

Duan Yu was completely stunned.

He did not understand why this person, known as the Imperial Grandson of the Great Ming, possessed so many ultimate martial techniques.

The One Yang Finger, the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the Sorrowful Palm, and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms... it seemed that Zhu Ying was proficient in all the ultimate martial arts of the martial world!

Facing Duan Yu's questioning, Zhu Ying naturally did not answer, but instead gave a light wave and once again unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Three streaks of Six Meridian Divine Sword qi instantly killed toward Duan Yu's body!

In a flash.

Duan Yu was directly struck by the sword qi, and then... he died instantly.

Just like that.

Without exerting any effort, Zhu Ying had essentially defeated the martial arts experts of the State of Song.

Now.

Upon the city walls of the capital, only Xuzhu, Murong Fu, and Xiao Yuanshan remained. (End of Chapter)
