Chapter Thirty-Two: One Move

  Can become an inner door disciple, the lowest cultivation is above the second-order combined force, and some have even reached the third-order universal force realm. The martial arts skills displayed by this cultivation are naturally extraordinary.

  If it were just one person, Shen Cong could easily avoid him. Even if there were two or three people, it wouldn't be a big problem. But now, with ten people attacking together, the situation is dire. The air is filled with various energies, and the previously unbroken door has been shattered by the invading energy.

  The ground beneath Shen Cong's feet had already cracked, and the pressure around him seemed to be crushing him to death, leaving no room for breath. These named disciples may have only wanted to teach Shen Cong a lesson when they first started, but as their numbers increased to this extent, the influence of their combined strength caused them to unconsciously increase their force, otherwise it would be them who would end up being crushed to death.

  Everyone was using all their strength, and various energies were crushing each other while also interacting with each other. Even the corners that still had some room to dodge were completely sealed off. Under this blow, Shen Cong's outcome was almost certain death, and the best result would be severe injury that was difficult to recover from, even more serious than Lin Qinghui's by several points.

  No one could have thought of this situation, not even Nie Xiao, who planned this scene. He had never thought that he would lead Shen Cong into a desperate situation in an instant. But after the initial shock, it was a pleasant surprise. If he could solve Shen Cong so simply, it would undoubtedly be the best result, and it would save him a lot of effort.

  "Little brother!"

  Gao Yuan was also within the scope of attack, but at that time everyone avoided him and instead pushed Gao Yuan out. Caught off guard, Gao Yuan didn't react in time. Now seeing Gao Yuan in danger, he only had time to shout loudly, but couldn't even come close to rescue, watching as Gao Yuan's heart was torn apart.

  Shen Cong's complexion changed drastically, and various energies suppressed his body. He wanted to move slightly, but it was extremely difficult. Almost without thinking, the Dragon Bird Knife popped up from behind him and was grasped in his hand. The zombie's powerful strength burst out completely, increasing his cultivation, making the aura of this Corpse Qi even more terrifying. At this moment, he actually withstood the surrounding pressure and handed over the Dragon Bird Knife.

  "Blood Wind Sword Technique, Capture the Sparrow!"

  A low growl, the dragon and sparrow knife in his hand transformed into a clear shadow, as if it had suddenly lost its weight, floating out of Shen Cong's hand. The vigor was like a circle that was not a circle, with a strong and intense knife energy contained but not released, locked tightly at the center of the circle. The surrounding attacks came to the center of the circle involuntarily. Without any imagination, it exploded loudly, Shen Cong's shadow flew out directly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, sprinkling on the dragon and sparrow knife.

  The people involved in the attack were not expecting Shen Cong to be so heavily injured, even with his body being directly cracked open by them. Yet, he was able to recover from just spitting out a small amount of blood. It was as if the combined force of ten people had no effect on him, despite their varying levels of strength cancelling each other out. But Shen Cong managed to withstand it all, even though he was only at the second stage of his cultivation.

  "Coming but not going is impolite, I'll send it to you." As soon as Shen's voice fell, everyone's hair stood on end. The circular aura that had blocked the attacks of ten people had yet to disperse and was still surrounding the Dragon Bird Knife, emitting a breathtaking aura. Suddenly, a cold light flashed by, and the circular aura disappeared, replaced by a single whip-like strike that could connect heaven and earth, sweeping horizontally towards the ten of them.

  "Bad, retreat quickly!"

  "Watch out!"

  The fur seemed to have a bursting illusion, and the ten people didn't think about it, retreating and dispersing at their fastest speed. But at this moment, where could they still come from? They retreated openly, but the horse's hooves came even faster, almost just for a moment, catching up with several of them in just a few steps.

  The heart almost stopped, and the retreat was already too late. Everyone almost subconsciously raised their hands to defend themselves. Ten people defending together, even if a fourth-stage condensed yuan master came, couldn't break through in a short time. A few people's hearts relaxed slightly, but their faces changed greatly in the next moment.

  It was like a withered tree being snapped, the defensive aura's intensity was sufficient, but the gap in between was too large. The whip-like attack directly entered through the gap, and in an instant, the defense was destroyed. The ten people's bodies shook violently, and then they all flew out, a thick bloody mist spreading in mid-air. In one move, all ten were severely injured.

  "What a move, its power is incredibly strong, unbelievable." Gaoyuan was still worried about Shen Congan's safety just now, but at this moment, Shen Cong not only escaped unscathed, but also severely injured all ten people, as if in a dream.

  Shen Cong stood upright with his sword, and the few people who had been clamoring to see Shen Cong before couldn't help but retreat backward. They thought he was the worst in terms of cultivation among the official disciples of Jianwang Peak, but now that they saw him, even if he wasn't the strongest, it was absolutely impossible for him to be at the bottom.

  "Attacking your fellow disciples for no reason, what do you want to do!" Shen Cong suddenly shouted loudly at the ten people on the ground.

  "It is they who are wounded now, and not you. What more do you want?" someone shouted back at the person lying down, who had his own relatives present.

  Gao Yuan glanced at the man with a sharp gaze, "If that move hadn't been blocked by Shen Cong earlier, do you think there would have been no consequences? Unprovoked attack, and yet it's a group assault, you people are truly bold!"

  "We only came to seek justice, and Lin's injuries cannot be suffered in vain." Just now they were at a disadvantage, but more importantly, so many people attacked together, yet in the end it was they who got hurt. This not only fails to stand up to reason, but also completely loses face, almost to the point of being shameless.

  "Are you talking about him?" Shen Cong dragged his knife forward, and everyone involuntarily took a few steps back. The previous move was too shocking, it had already made them fearful in their hearts, and they didn't dare to be so reckless when facing Shen Cong.

  Several people beside the stretcher stared at Shen Cong, their eyes filled with hatred. "Do you dare say that you didn't fight with Lin Shidi that day?"

  "That day did not end in bloodshed."

  As soon as Shen's words came out, the whole scene fell silent. Only a few people in front of him were trembling with rage, but they were too intimidated to make a move. If Shen hadn't already shown his extraordinary strength earlier, they would have probably attacked him by now. Lin Qinghui on the stretcher was also furious, but could only glare at Shen, as none of the others who weren't injured dared to fight him, let alone in his current state.

  "Then can you tell me how Lin Shidi's hand injury came about? Could it be that he bumped into something himself?" Li Guan's face revealed a sneer.

  "The wound on my hand is indeed what I deserved."

  "You just said that you didn't fight, isn't this a blatant lie?! Li Guan seemed to have found a weak point and his momentum suddenly reached its peak. "Earlier when there was no evidence, you denied it, now that the evidence is all here, can you still deny it?!"

  Chen didn't smile at all, "I have never denied it, but brother's accusation is wrong."

  "You shameless little brat, your words are contradictory, and you still dare to deny it!" Li Guan shouted loudly, the people around also couldn't help but show contemptuous expressions, having reached this point, he still dared to try to deny it.

  Shen Cong couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to look at the people around him. "That day, I remember many of my fellow disciples saw me. Can anyone explain what happened back then?"

  "No need for others, I'll take care of it myself that day." Li Guan took a step forward, his momentum already reaching its peak.

  "That's a lot of trouble, Brother Shen. Tell me, how did I fight with Lin Brother that day?" Shen bowed and Li Guan curled his lip in disdain for Shen Cong. Unrelated to others, when it comes to the crunch, he still doesn't admit it. Such people are the most despicable.

  "Li Shixiong, expose him and make him speechless!" someone in the surrounding area shouted loudly.

  Li nodded, and the scene from that day flashed back in his mind. Lin Qinghui threw a heavy punch at Shen Cong, who dodged it. This was something Li Guan would never mention, but what happened next was... The two of them were chatting casually?

  The scene in his mind made Li Guan pause, after Lin Qinghui finished her heavy move, the two of them seemed to be chatting idly on the spot, without any back-and-forth fighting. The only one who made a move was Lin Qinghui's sneak attack, and Shen Cong's barely defensive move, grabbing Lin Qinghui's arm?

  This scene doesn't even count as a fight, let alone a bloody battle.

  "Li Guan, quickly restore the scene of that day and let him have nothing to say!" Someone urged, but Li Guan's mouth opened for a moment, yet he didn't know what to say. The scene that day wasn't even a fight, but rather one side was in the wrong, on Lin Qinghui's body?

  There were several people in the field whose faces also became strange, but they were also present that day. They recalled the scene of that day and couldn't pick out Shen Cong's thorn. Before, I didn't think carefully, and was blinded by Lin Qinghui's tragic appearance today, thinking that the battle was fierce that day, never thinking that the two people hadn't even had a formal confrontation.

  Since it wasn't a serious injury at first, why is the wound so severe now? Is the key in Shen Cong's grasp of Lin Qinghui's arm, which contained some kind of mysterious and sinister energy? But there was only bruising on his arm, no other strange energy.

  "I wonder if Brother Li has thought about it, whether I killed him that day?" Shen Cong smiled and said. If the person in front of him was hiding his conscience, then Shen Cong could also hide his own conscience and deal with everyone once and for all.

  Li Guan's face turned from white to red, and then back to white again. "You may not have killed anyone that day, but the injury on Lin Shixiong's hand was caused by you, which you also admitted earlier! Why did you use such a heavy hand? You two didn't have such a deep grudge!" It seemed like he had found some reason, and his trembling voice gradually stabilized.

  The scene was quiet, and the crowd wasn't stupid. Li Guan's words had already implicitly acknowledged that there hadn't been a big fight that day, and the more severe the accusations before, the louder it would be when he slapped himself in the face now. Some disciples who were incited by hatred but didn't know what happened that day couldn't help but walk away from the outer circle, they no longer wanted to get involved in this muddy water.

  The already tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated by more than half, and Nie Xiao's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. But Shen had been handling the situation step by step from the beginning, not giving them a chance to react. Now even if he wanted to make amends, it was too late. Although Nie Xiao had some reputation among the named disciples, he wasn't powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand. Most people only respected him, but didn't fear him. Each person had their own bottom line in mind, and Nie Xiao couldn't control that.

  "I have no great grudge against Lin, and even if I did, I wouldn't treat him like this!" Shen bent down to examine Lin Qinghui's injuries, wanting to reach out to check, but was pulled back by Lin.

  "What are you doing? Are you going to harm Lin Shidi again?" someone on the side shouted loudly.

  "I'd rather harm him and end it with one knife, why would I cause such trouble?" Shen Cong looked up at the man, "Do you think I'd inflict such injuries on myself and have you come looking for me to take responsibility?"

  That person's expression was not one of surprise, this question is too stupid. The best way to deal with a fight is to end it with one move, if you can't thoroughly resolve it, you won't leave deep grudges, especially towards fellow disciples. Someone like Lin Qinghui who has such a terrifying appearance and leaves behind evidence of injury, even someone with a bit of brains wouldn't choose this method, it's just too obvious.
