Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Self-inflicted Blame

It wasn't just the people of the Zhao Family.

At the venue, everyone else was also shocked.

Nobody expected that among the Qin Family's younger generation, aside from Qin He advancing to the Condensed Truth Realm, there was another genius at the same realm!

Moreover, his cultivation level was even two tiers higher than Qin He's.

What was even more unbelievable was that Qin Shan was clearly incapacitated before, with a shattered Dantian, yet in just two months, not only had he restored his Dantian, but his cultivation had also reached the peak of the first layer of the Condensed Truth Realm. He was merely a thread away from the second layer, which was utterly astonishing.

Could a shattered Dantian really be repaired?

"Zhao Wujie, with your little strength, you also want to challenge all of the Qin Family's younger generation present?"

Qin Shan sneered coldly, then, quick as a hare and as fast as thunder, stepped forward with Thunder Step and charged at Zhao Wujie once more.

On the Martial Combat Platform, Zhao Wujie's face was uncertain, his right arm trembling. The palm strike he'd exchanged with Qin Shan had almost shattered his entire arm.

Hearing Qin Shan's words, Zhao Wujie immediately snorted coldly, "Hmph, even if you've repaired your Dantian and advanced to the Condensed Truth Realm, what of it? Your cultivation is still not as good as mine."

"I was caught off-guard just now, not expecting you could have cultivated to the Condensed Truth Realm so I didn't use my full strength. If I were serious, defeating you would be a piece of cake!"

With that, he let out a loud shout, "Fiery Flame Palm!"

His figure burst forth abruptly, and the True Qi of the second layer of the Condensed Truth Realm surged from within him, as he ferociously aimed a palm at Qin Shan.

Qin Shan's eyes tightened, and despite Zhao Wujie having one tier higher cultivation than his, he didn't retreat in the slightest, closing in with Thunder Step and similarly launching a palm strike, "Thunder Seal!"

He bellowed loudly, his Thunder Attribute True Qi exploded from within, and between his palms and fingers, there were faint silver lightning arcs.

"Smack!"

In an instant, they clashed once again. Zhao Wujie only felt his arm go numb, then a mighty force fiercely tossed him aside.

"Pfft!"

The overpowering strength immediately caused the Qi and blood inside Zhao Wujie to surge wildly, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body heavily falling to the edge of the Martial Combat Platform.

"How... how can your True Qi be so strong!?"

With blood at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Wujie propped himself up and looked at Qin Shan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had clearly put in his full effort just now, yet he ended up injured by a palm strike from Qin Shan.

The surrounding crowd was also stunned, and many people looked towards Qin Shan with a hardened gaze, "Such a domineering True Qi, and it's Thunder Attribute True Qi at that!"

"Wu Ji!"

At the seating area of the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianheng saw Zhao Wujie being sent flying by a palm from Qin Shan and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Qin Shan looked at Zhao Wujie and said coldly, "Zhao Wujie, you've lost!"

Qinchuan's face showed a hint of a smile, nodding in satisfaction, "Qin Shan truly didn't let me down, his mastery in using power has indeed reached a significant level."

He then turned his gaze towards Zhao Tianheng and said, "Zhao Family head, does the Zhao Family's younger generation have anyone stronger than Zhao Wujie to fight? If not, then this first round of the juniors' competition is won by the Qin Family."

"Next, it's time for the elder generation to compete, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianheng's face instantly turned iron blue.

On the Martial Combat Platform, Qin Shan gave Zhao Wujie lying on the ground one last cold glance, then turned to walk down the platform.

However, at that moment, Zhao Wujie suddenly got up from the ground, his eyes fierce, "I haven't lost yet!"

With a roar, he suddenly pulled out a red elixir from within his clothes and swallowed it in one gulp.

That red elixir, known as the Madness Pill, was refined by the First Grade Alchemist previously invited by the Great Wilderness City's Zhao Family.

As Zhao Wujie consumed the Madness Pill, his state immediately became ferocious, the True Qi within his body boiling instantly, with his strength and aura growing abruptly by twenty percent!

"Go to hell!"

His eyes bloodshot, he roared and charged at Qin Shan who was turning to leave the Martial Combat Platform, with his folding fan flickering in his hand.

The fan-shaped weapon was ingeniously designed but now turned into a short sword, aiming to stab at Qin Shan's back.

Qin Shan immediately sensed the crisis behind him, suddenly turned around, leaned back, and with a lightning-fast kick, he struck Zhao Wujie's wrist, sending the folding fan transformed longsword flying.

Afterwards, he twisted his body to stabilize himself and suddenly slapped towards the faltering Zhao Wujie, hitting him right in the dantian with the palm emitting a surge of thunder-attribute True Qi.

"Ah..." Zhao Wujie screamed in agony, his body curling up like a shrimp, vomiting a mouthful of blood before being blasted off the Martial Combat Platform by Qin Shan's palm.

He was utterly incredulous, unable to believe that even after taking the Madness Pill to enhance his strength, he was still no match for Qin Shan!

What on earth had the Qin Family been through these two months?

How could the younger generation of the Qin Family's strength have undergone such a drastic change in just two short months?

"Wu Ji!"

On the Zhao Family's seats, Zhao Tianheng immediately cried out in alarm and hastily flew forward to catch Zhao Wujie, only to see that the area around Zhao Wujie's dantian was a blur, causing his pupils to contract sharply.

"You dare to cripple Wu Ji's dantian!"

"I will kill you!"

Zhao Tianheng was furious, quickly took out a First Grade healing pill to feed Zhao Wujie, then handed over Zhao Wujie to a Zhao Family elder and was about to rush onto the Martial Combat Platform to slay Qin Shan!

Zhao Tianheng, at the peak of the Sixth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, possessed overwhelming strength, incomparable to Qin Shan.

With a palm strike heading towards Qin Shan, it was impossible for Qin Shan to block, and he was likely to be killed on the spot.

However, at that moment, a terrifying murderous intent suddenly descended upon him!

"You try to touch him?!"

Qinchuan's eyes, which had been calm and indifferent, suddenly became sharp and fierce, a terrifying aura of killing intent swept toward Zhao Tianheng like a tidal wave.

"Clang!"

At the same time, an Iron Blood Long Spear suddenly shot out, speeding towards Zhao Tianheng.

Zhao Tianheng's face drastically changed, and instantly, his pupils contracted as he reeled back from his advance towards the Martial Combat Platform.

The next instant, the Iron Blood Long Spear nailed itself firmly in the spot where Zhao Tianheng had just stood, its piercing power so formidable that it even penetrated the ground!

"You..."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tianheng was both shocked and furious.

If he had been even a moment slower, he would have been impaled on the spot by Qinchuan's spear!

Qinchuan's eyes were icy, and he spoke in a cold voice, "Hmph, Qin Shan had already shown mercy earlier. Zhao Wujie was already defeated but still tried a sneak attack after taking a Madness Pill. Forget just crippling his dantian, even taking his life would have been his own fault!"

Zhao Tianheng's face turned livid upon hearing this and was about to erupt.

But the authoritative and cold voice of the Great Wilderness City's lord commanded, "Stop!"

"Zhao Tianheng, this Martial Combat was meant to be a confrontation between the younger generations of the Zhao and Qin Families. Zhao Wujie resorted to taking an elixir for a sneak attack, yet was defeated by Qin Shan and had his dantian destroyed. It serves him right for his lack of skill and is of his own making!"

"Since you have asked me, the lord of this city, to bear witness to this duel, then I shall fulfill my duty and uphold justice!"

"Does the Zhao Family's younger generation still have combatants to continue? If not, then by the terms of your wager, this Martial Combat shall be deemed a victory for the Qin Family."

Seeing the Great Wilderness City's lord intervening, with many eyes upon the scene, Zhao Tianheng forcefully suppressed his rage and unwillingness, but had no other choice than to agree, looking at Qinchuan and saying coldly, "We Zhao Family concede defeat in this show of the younger generation's abilities!"

"But a momentary victory doesn't count for much. Next, it's time for our seniors to face off!"

Then, with a gleam in his eye and hidden murderous intent, he said, "But the seniors are highly cultivated and powerful. A fight with restrictions will not showcase true abilities, so this contest among the elders will be a fight to the death. Qinchuan, does the Qin Family dare to accept?"

"A fight to the death?"

Qinchuan raised an eyebrow, understanding full well that the other side had murderous intentions, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a cold smile.

The elders of the Qin Family, having received his guidance and cultivation, had made rapid progress. Especially the Second and Third Elders, who had both entered the Fifth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm.

The Third Elder had even reached the Intermediate Stage of the Fifth Layer, and with the Xuan Level techniques and Martial Skills that Qinchuan had taught them, as well as his instruction on the use of power, their strength was far beyond that of the past. Even the Zhao Family's Great Elder would stand no chance against them.

Seeing the elders express their willingness to engage in a fight to the death, Qinchuan simply said, "Since the Zhao Family desires a fight to the death, let it be according to your wish. This battle shall be a fight to the death!"
