Chapter 167 How Is It Possible that You Are Half a Step Into the Fifth Realm?
Shen Dao was talking about something that happened a few years ago.
At that time, all the martial arts halls in the county city had held a competition, and all the masters of the major halls participated.
It was in this competition that Lu Dingtai defeated all the heroes and became the undisputed number one in the entire county city martial arts world.
As one of the masters of the four major martial arts halls in the county city, Yuan Chenfeng naturally had to fight with Lu Dingtai, but he was defeated in one move and was punched out of the field by Lu Dingtai.
After that, this matter was regarded as a great shame by Yuan Chenfeng, and no one was allowed to talk about it in front of him.
So when Shen Dao brought up the old matter at this moment, Yuan Chenfeng couldn't help but get angry.
"Go to hell."
Yuan Chenfeng waved his palms and rushed over.
In terms of strength, Yuan Chenfeng and Shen Dao's master Lu Dingtai are at the same level, and both are masters who are only half a step away from entering the fifth realm.
Shen Dao is only in the fourth realm, and the difference in strength is huge.
But even so, Shen Dao still did not show any fear. Instead, he took a deep breath, mobilized his whole body's blood, and fought with Yuan Chenfeng.
In fact, from the moment he stepped into the Taihe Teahouse, Shen Dao had already put life and death aside.
In the past, Shen Dao was always gentle and never did evil to others, but now he was like an angry dragon whose reverse scales were touched, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Especially for Yuan Chenfeng, Shen Dao wanted to eat his flesh alive.
All this was because of the news he got today.
At that time, Shen Dao was at Shi Qingqing's home in Yonglefang, chatting with her.
Because he knew that the war was about to come, this war might be more tragic than the previous beast tide, and even he could not guarantee that he would definitely survive.
So during this period, whenever he had free time, Shen Dao would come to Yonglefang to see Shi Qingqing.
Shi Qingqing didn't know the reason, but she was naturally very happy that Shen Dao could come.
Today was no exception. Shi Qingqing was talking to Shen Dao happily when a maid from Zuihuafang ran over breathlessly and told Shi Qingqing.
Later, Wei Hongbin's favorite, Deputy General Lin Shiguo, would come to Zuihuafang to have fun, and he also specifically asked Shi Qingqing to accompany him.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Dao stood up with a solemn face before Shi Qingqing could react.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that someone was definitely playing tricks here, otherwise how could Lin Shiguo know Shi Qingqing.
Fortunately, he was here today, otherwise if Shi Qingqing went there without knowing why, it would be a real sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
However, the owner of Zuihuafang was also thoughtful. On the surface, he did not dare to disobey Lin Shiguo's order, but secretly ordered a little maid to come and inform him first, which was obviously to remind Shi Qingqing.
Thinking of this, Shen Dao thanked the little maid first, and then asked Shi Qingqing to pack up her belongings quickly.
It was too late to return to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall at this time. Fortunately, Yonglefang was very close to Baibu Martial Arts Hall.
After the last beast tide attack, Shen Dao and Pan Xuexian and others from Baibu Martial Arts Hall were already familiar with each other.
So Shen Dao sent Shi Qingqing to Baibu Martial Arts Hall and asked Pan Xuexian and others to take care of her temporarily.
Pan Xuexian nodded in agreement and asked Shen Dao if he needed help.
Shen Dao shook his head.
What he was going to do next was very serious, and he might even have to sacrifice his life, so he didn't intend to implicate others.
He just asked Pan Xuexian to send someone to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall to deliver a message, and then turned around and left regardless of Shi Qingqing's tears.
Shen Dao's good temper was well known to all martial arts disciples in the county.
But this did not mean that Shen Dao had no temper.
On the contrary, the more easy-going a person is, the harder it is to change once he makes a decision.
For example, now, Shen Dao could take Shi Qingqing back to Dingtai and pretend that this incident had never happened.
After all, no matter how arrogant Lin Shiguo was, he couldn't run to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall to arrest people.
But Shen Dao didn't do that.
He decided to kill Lin Shiguo first to eliminate the trouble forever.
Since the war was inevitable, it would be a good idea to weaken Wei Hongbin's strength.
As the first deputy general under Wei Hongbin, Lin Shiguo's own strength was not high, so it was natural to be the primary target.
As for Lin Shiguo's whereabouts, it was too easy to find out.
Wherever he went, he would bring a large number of followers, and the team was huge, so Shen Dao easily caught up to Taihe Tea House, but he didn't expect that Yuan Chenfeng was there.
Shen Dao understood at once that it was him who was secretly making trouble, instigating Lin Shiguo to go to Zuihuafang, and telling Shi Qingqing's name.
Coupled with his previous bad behavior of secretly sending people to try to poison his master, Shen Dao was so angry that he almost wanted to kill him.
But ideas are ideas, and reality is reality.
The difference in strength between the two was too great.
Therefore, after a few encounters, Shen Dao was forced to retreat again and again, with only the strength to parry, and no chance to fight back.
On the other hand, Yuan Chenfeng became more and more courageous, and his pair of flesh palms were like two heaven-shaking seals, with extremely terrifying power.
Yuan Chenfeng understood in his heart.
This Shen Dao was the third person in Dingtai Martial Arts School, second only to Zhao Ya, who was in the limelight now.
If he could be killed by his palm, it would be a heavy blow to Zhao Ya and others.
So Yuan Chenfeng was merciless, wishing to smash Shen Dao's head with one palm.
Seeing that Shen Dao was struggling, the situation became more and more unfavorable.
The old man Zhai who was lying on the ground suddenly shouted: "Silly boy, run quickly, leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood, and I will kill this old thief when I have the opportunity in the future."
As soon as he shouted, other tea guests also shouted.
"Yes, this young hero, let's go quickly!"
"This old thief is very tight. It's not a shame to escape if you can't beat him."
Hearing everyone talking about an old thief, Yuan Chenfeng felt angry and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Want to run away? It's not that easy."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his wrists and thrust his palms towards Shen Dao's temples.
The attack was extremely fast. At this critical moment, Shen Dao had been forced into a corner and had no place to retreat.
In desperation, Shen Dao had no choice but to use all his strength and protect his head with both fists, trying to resist the blow.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Chenfeng was secretly happy.
I used ten percent of my strength in this palm. Not to mention a human being, even an elephant would be beaten to death.
But at this moment, Yuan Chenfeng suddenly heard a sharp sound piercing the air behind him, and knew that someone was attacking him.
Although if he only had one more second, he could beat Shen Dao to death.
However, for the sake of his own safety, Yuan Chenfeng was forced to give up this tempting opportunity. He dodged in a short time and barely managed to avoid the blow.
With a thud, a crossbow arrow flew past the place where Yuan Chenfeng was standing just now, and then penetrated deeply into the wall. The tail of the arrow trembled endlessly.
But before Yuan Chenfeng could breathe a sigh of relief, a ghostly figure rushed towards him and raised his fist to strike.
Although it was just a glimpse, Yuan Chenfeng still recognized the person at a glance and couldn't help but sneered.
"Zhao Ya, you finally can't hold it in any longer, are you planning to take action?"
As he spoke, he gathered all his strength, struck out with his palm, and exchanged a solid move with Zhao Ya.
I thought that this blow would definitely knock Zhao Ya away, just like Shen Dao just now.
Then he took advantage of the victory and pursued Zhao Yali to death.
After all, compared to Shen Dao, Yuan Chenfeng wanted to kill Zhao Ya the most.
But the result was far beyond Yuan Chenfeng's expectation.
After the punch and palm met, Zhao Ya not only was not knocked away, but his shoulders did not even shake.
Instead, he was knocked back several steps by a huge force.
At this moment, Yuan Chenfeng couldn't help but change his expression, "How is it possible? How come you have such a strong power?"
"Why is it impossible? Yuan, open your dog eyes and see what kind of strength I am now!"
Zhao Ya said with a sneer, and then with full aura, he jumped up and punched again.
After feeling Zhao Ya's aura, Yuan Chenfeng's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and he shouted in disbelief: "Half-step to the five realms?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another loud noise was heard.
Zhao Ya and Yuan Chenfeng exchanged moves again.
Because Yuan Chenfeng was distracted and responded hastily to this move, he was shocked and flew far away. After landing, he still looked like he had seen a ghost.
Because he simply couldn't understand how this Zhao Ya cultivated.
Didn't he just advance to the fourth realm not long ago? How could he pass two levels so quickly and reach the half-step fifth realm at the same level as himself?
Could it be that he is truly a rare genius?
Everyone present also became commotion after hearing what Yuan Chenfeng just shouted.
Shen Dao also looked at Zhao Ya in disbelief.
He naturally knew that Zhao Ya had been in seclusion for a period of time before, but was the effect of this solitary practice so obvious?
You must know that it has been several years since he was promoted to the Fourth Realm, but now he has not even touched the edge of the peak of the Fourth Realm. Zhao Ya has already replaced the surface blood and the blood of the internal organs, and only the bone marrow is missing.
Zhao Ya smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Although I am not a good person, my vision is good. Yes, I am now in the Half-Step Five Realm. How about it?"
Yuan Chenfeng's palms were trembling slightly at this time.
Half because of shock and fear, half because of the confrontation just now.
And looking at Zhao Ya's relaxed and carefree look, it was obvious that the punch just now was not his full strength.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chenfeng couldn't help but want to retreat.
Can't beat it.
If you stay any longer, you will even have to explain yourself here.
So we must leave here as soon as possible.
After making up his mind, Yuan Chenfeng was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. Yuan admires it. Let's put aside what happened today and say goodbye."
As he said that, he jumped up and wanted to leave.
Zhao Ya took a step forward, blocking the way, and then said calmly: "What? Do you want to leave now?"
"Then what else do you want?" Yuan Chenfeng narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Zhao Ya raised his hand and pointed at Lin Shiguo not far away, "Now that you're gone, what will you do with this thing?"
Lin Shiguo was furious.
He had never been belittled like this before, so he wanted to curse when he opened his mouth.
Zhao Ya seemed to have expected it. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Ya slightly bent his finger and flicked it.
An iron pellet hit his mouth directly, smashing all the teeth in his mouth to pieces, and blood immediately flowed down.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Lin Shiguo sobbed and was speechless. At the same time, he danced and made famous gestures, which meant asking his men to go up and deal with Zhao Ya.
But no one dared to move.
joke.
Just now Yuan Chenfeng personally verified Zhao Ya's strength and shouted out his realm.
Half a step to five realms.
This is considered a first-class master even in the capital city of Great Yan.
Although these cavalrymen were arrogant, they were not stupid.
They knew that if they went up at this time, they would surely die.
So none of them dared to move.
Yuan Chenfeng's face changed slightly.
This Lin Shiguo was a connection that he had finally established. If he just gave up like this, it would be painful.
But the situation was stronger than the person. If he continued to stay, something bad would definitely happen.
Compared with his own life, nothing else mattered.
So he said with a fake smile: "I am not very familiar with this deputy general. This time it just happened to happen. So you can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
Lin Shiguo's eyes widened when he heard this, his eyes were full of anger and panic.
He also saw the reversal of the situation.
When Zhao Ya came, the strength comparison between the two sides immediately reversed.
If there was no external aid, he would probably have to explain it here.
So he kept looking out the window, hoping that the news here could spread as soon as possible and other cavalrymen could come to support.
As if noticing his gaze, Zhao Ya smiled.
"No need to look. Several nearby streets have been controlled by me, Guangrui, and Renyong martial arts schools. Now even a bird can't fly out, so the reinforcements you expect will not appear."
Lin Shiguo's face turned pale instantly.
Yuan Chenfeng's face also changed drastically, and then he listened carefully, and found that the streets outside were empty, and even the footsteps of pedestrians disappeared.
In this way, even his hope of running away became slim.
Only then did Zhao Ya look at him.
"Master Yuan, I actually admire you very much, because you change your face quickly and grasp the situation accurately, which is really rare in the world. It's a pity that you shouldn't have lost the most basic conscience of a martial artist."
Yuan Chenfeng took a half step back with an ugly face, and slowly raised his palms.
"Zhao Ya, do you really want to force me into a dead end? You have also broken through to the Half-Step Five Realm. You should know how terrifying the power of warriors at our level would be if they fought to the death. Aren't you afraid of harming innocent people?"
"Of course I know, so guess why I didn't fight you, but stood here and talked nonsense with you?" Zhao Ya smiled.
"You..." Yuan Chenfeng suddenly noticed something strange.
The blood and qi that had been flowing unimpeded in his body suddenly became disordered. Although it was very slight, it was something that had never happened to a master of the Half-Step Five Realm.
Yuan Chenfeng's face changed wildly, "You poisoned me?"
Zhao Ya smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you, the pack of medicine that my master gave me is now intact and used on you. How do you feel?"
Yuan Chenfeng almost vomited blood in anger, "You... despicable!"
"Thanks for the compliment, but compared to you, I am still far behind!" Zhao Ya said lightly.
Yuan Chenfeng felt that the situation in his body was getting worse and worse. He knew that he was deeply poisoned. In despair, he gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed towards the crowd of onlookers.
His idea was simple. Zhao Ya and Shen Dao and others claimed to be righteous and would definitely not kill innocent people.
As long as he held a few ordinary people hostage, there might be a glimmer of hope.
But as soon as he moved, Zhao Ya also moved.
He took a step forward, punched, and went straight to Yuan Chenfeng's face.
