Chapter 35: Instant Kill
Little dragon is wandering back and forth between explosion and being exploded, neither advancing nor retreating. It's just one step away from entering the homepage, but this one step is like a sky moat blocking my way, making me see it but can't reach it. Wooo, little dragon hopes everyone will give me a push to help me cross this "sky moat"!
"Too much nonsense, since you guys won't make a move, I'll take the initiative!" As soon as Zhang Cheng's voice fell, his hands clenched into fists, and then his arms shook violently, causing his clothes to puff up with a loud whooshing sound.
Then, his legs suddenly kicked out, and in an instant, like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, he rushed towards the two of them at incredible speed, arriving right in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Li Meng and Wang Chen didn't seem to have expected Zhang Cheng to be so fast either, but they were at least second-rate warriors, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, they reacted.
But at this moment, Zhang Cheng's two fists were already pounding towards them.
They no longer dared to be careless, and immediately raised their arms to block Zhang Cheng's punch. However, before the fist arrived, a strong gust of wind preceded it, blowing fiercely and causing their arms to ache.
Their faces changed drastically because at this moment they had already felt that Zhang Cheng's true strength was actually stronger than theirs, and this punch was probably not something they could withstand.
At the same time, they also felt how ridiculous their previous insults to Zhang Cheng were.
"Crack, boom——"
At the moment when Zhang Cheng's fist and their two arms were released, two sounds rang out in succession. Then Zhang Cheng's fist, like an iron hammer hitting tofu, broke their two arms before continuing to drill into their chest, directly blasting a hole through it.
Fresh blood flowed out from the pair of fists behind Li Meng and Wang Chen, dyeing the ground a deep red and rendering the entire battlefield a miserable sight.
Li Meng and Wang Chen stared with wide eyes, looking at Zhang Cheng, then looking at the arm that had pierced their own chest, until now, they still didn't dare to believe it was real.
One move, just one move, and two second-rate warriors were killed instantly, absolutely annihilated.
At this moment, everyone present was stunned, and the breathing sound seemed to disappear. The entire Shaoyang Square was silent, and even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.
"Pffftt——" A piercing sound rang out, Zhang Cheng withdrew his pair of blood-stained hands, and at this moment he was expressionless, not feeling much guilt for having killed these two people.
They should have buried Xiaozhang with them five years ago. Letting them live for so long is already a bargain for them.
Moreover, his elder brother was also abolished because of their two families, and the anger in his heart could only be extinguished with the blood of their two families.
"Thud!" Li Meng and Wang Chen's two corpses fell to the ground, and two lively lives disappeared just like that.
However, Zhang Cheng, who had just killed the two men, was now expressionless as he gazed at the two corpses on the ground, as if he had just killed two dogs.
"Ah, my son..." Next, Li Changqing and Wang Tiangong let out a loud wail and rushed onto the battlefield, arriving at the sides of Li Meng and Wang Chen, where they knelt down to examine them.
But their hearts had already been shattered into a pulp, where was there any possibility of saving them? For a moment, the flames of anger in their hearts surged up, and they glared at Zhang Cheng with malice.
However, they did not take action against Zhang Cheng because they also knew that at this moment, they absolutely could not be impulsive. If they were, it would not just be their son who would end up dead in the future.
However, the pain of losing their son made them suffer unbearably, and at the same time, it further strengthened their determination to eradicate the Zhang family, because blood debts must be repaid with blood.
At this moment, Zhang's family also reflected on it. They were first shocked, shocked by Zhang Cheng's astonishing and unconventional cultivation. Then they were puzzled, puzzled as to why Zhang Cheng's change was so great. Finally, they were angry. They not only didn't feel happy about Zhang Cheng killing people from the Li and Wang families but instead felt angry at his reckless behavior.
They all knew that the Zhang family, except for Zhang Fang, did not want to have a complete falling out with the Li and Wang families because they were no match for them. If they had a falling out with them, in the end, it would still be their own loss.
But now Zhang Cheng has killed people from both their families, and he is the son of the master of his household. The battle between the Zhang family and the two other families can no longer be avoided.
What surprised him most was Zhang Fang, because Zhang Cheng was his son. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Zhang Cheng was. Since he was a child, he didn't even dare to kill a chicken!
He didn't know what Zhang Cheng had gone through in the past month, but it was enough to make him so ruthless that killing two people seemed like killing two dogs, without any feeling.
For a moment, he didn't recognize Zhang Cheng, if it wasn't for his appearance and aura being exactly the same as Zhang Cheng's, he would have suspected that someone else was impersonating his son.
"Zhang Cheng, I challenge you!" Just then, a fourth-grade master from the Wang family jumped onto the stage, pointing at Zhang Cheng with an angry face.
His name is Wang Meng, Wang Chen's elder paternal cousin. Although they are not direct relatives, their relationship is very good. So when he saw his younger brother die at Zhang Cheng's hands, he immediately jumped out to avenge Wang Chen.
"I'm only a second-rate martial artist, and you, a fourth-rate martial artist, dare to challenge me? Don't you feel ashamed?" Zhang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, wiped the fresh blood on his hand, and said nonchalantly.
"Hmph, you just say whether you dare or not!" Wang Meng said with a cold snort.
"Cheng Er, don't agree with him, you can't beat him!" Zhang Fang yelled out in a loud voice, enduring the pain in his body.
"Alright, I'll take you on!" Zhang Cheng nodded his head. Of course, he wasn't acting impulsively, but rather wanted to test just how much weight he had and whether or not he could hold his own against a fourth-rank martial artist.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!" Zhang Fan slapped his own thigh and said worriedly.
This time, Wang Tiancheng did not stop them, but as he carried Wang Meng and Li Changqing down, he whispered a sentence to Wang Meng: "Leave him one life!"
The meaning is already very clear, it's just as long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want.
Wang Meng got the host's nod of approval, his mood relaxed, and he clenched his fist at Zhang Cheng, saying: "Don't say I'm bullying you, let you make the first move."
"Hmph!" Zhang Cheng sneered, calling me out first wouldn't be considered bullying me?
Zhang Cheng didn't waste any words with him, and with a loud whoosh, his fists danced wildly, instantly producing a thick, heavy sound that carried a powerful aura as it surged towards Wang Meng.
Wang Meng was a fourth-grade master, and he had grasped many martial arts, but there wasn't even one set of medium-grade martial arts.
It's not that he doesn't have the qualifications to learn, but rather that his martial arts skills are very profound and it took him a long time to grasp the key points, so when he uses them, they're still not as powerful as lower-level martial arts.
However, he was also a person who had learned medium-grade martial arts, and at a glance, he recognized that the fist technique Zhang Cheng was using at this moment was a medium-grade fist technique. As for what specific fist technique it was, he couldn't recognize it.
However, the fact that he couldn't recognize others didn't mean others couldn't recognize him, especially Zhang Fang, because the boxing technique Zhang Cheng was using at this moment was precisely the Earth-Shattering Fist that he had mastered over a decade ago.
To know that the Earth-Shattering Fist is a mid-tier martial art that has extremely high requirements for true energy, even a 4th-class warrior would find it unusually exhausting to use, and he himself wouldn't be able to use it for an extended period of time.
Zhang Cheng was only a second-rate martial artist, and his true energy reserves were far from sufficient to support the Earth-Shattering Fist's consumption of true energy. Yet, despite this, Zhang Cheng managed to execute the Earth-Shattering Fist with great flair, its momentum sending shockwaves through the air.
Let's just say that this alone is already beyond Zhang Fang's reach.
Moreover, Zhang had indulged in this set of boxing techniques for over a decade, his eyes were sharper than others, and at a glance, he saw that Zhang Cheng's mastery of the firework of this set of boxing techniques was even stronger than his own, which completely exceeded his imagination.
"What on earth has he been through this month!" Zhang Fang knew that Zhang Cheng's change occurred during the month he went missing, so he was very interested in what Zhang Cheng had experienced during this time.
