Chapter 168 Zhao Xu's Fear: He'd Provoked the Wrong Person
"Fifth, fifth rank?"
"Still the strongest in history...?"
Zhao Xu looked dazed.
"Impossible, how could you improve so quickly..."
I thought he came from a small town and had an ordinary family background, so he was a young genius who could be easily tempted and manipulated.
But only now do I truly feel the pain and will of Jiang Yuan.
He only realized it then.
Things seem to be getting a little out of his control...
"waste."
Jiang Yuan responded with disdain and sarcasm.
Zhao Xu's face darkened with anger. "What did you say?!"
"I said you're trash, you disagree?"
Jiang Yuan's golden eyes widened.
The intense, blood-red killing intent was almost tangible, sweeping towards him in an overwhelming manner!
Zhao Xu was so frightened that he trembled all over.
The boy before them was no mere cub; he was a terrifying ancient monster!
"You, you, if you dare to lay a hand on me, the Zhao family will not let you get away with it!"
A dignified ninth-level grandmaster saying such things to a fifth-level youth.
It's absolutely unbelievable, and it's hilarious.
Not only did Jiang Yuan have a strange expression, but the other members of the patrol division also looked at him with disdain and contempt.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh, "The world is going to the dogs. How could someone like this even advance to a ninth-tier Grandmaster? Reincarnation really is an art. Did you record everything?"
"Recorded, Captain Zhang," a member said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll post it online later and let everyone see how prestigious the Zhao family, a prestigious family, is, and how powerful the professors of the Divine Martial Academy are."
Zhao Xu became anxious upon hearing this.
"You dare!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Wei picked his nose. "We're all going to be destroyed along with the city anyway. What wouldn't a dying person be afraid of? You don't actually think we're as afraid of death as people like you, do you?"
"Exactly, he's always talking about honor, merit, future, and the future of Great Xia. I doubt he's ever experienced a single life-or-death battle," a third-rank patrol officer mocked.
"Just because you're highly skilled and come from a good family, you think everyone's afraid of you here in the capital?"
"If I were afraid of dying, I wouldn't be a patrol officer."
……
"You're asking for it!"
Being mocked by those considered inferior, Zhao Xu was furious, his blood and qi surging.
The thick blood and qi of a ninth-level grandmaster surged out of his body like smoke from a wolf's beacon, soaring straight into the sky.
The oppressive force descended like a mountain.
next second.
An even stronger golden pressure erupted, suppressing his pressure completely.
"Boom!"
Cracks appeared on the street surface as the two powerful forces collided, lightning flashed in the air, and shockwaves surged.
Zhao Xu's pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at the handsome young man with wildly dancing black hair: "Are you really going to be my enemy for them?"
Jiang Yuan sneered.
"You dare to challenge me?!"
Zhao Xu was furious.
"Kid, don't think you can rival a ninth-level martial artist just because of your talent. A true ninth-level martial artist is not as simple as you think."
"Is that so?"
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pressed down with one finger.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared, blood boiled, and a golden, ethereal finger a hundred meters in size appeared in mid-air, wrapped in thick lightning, pressing down on Zhao Xu with an unparalleled aura that could suppress the four directions of heaven and earth.
Martial skill - Prison-Suppressing Thunder Finger, Perfect Level.
"hiss……"
Zhao Xu gasped.
How could a fifth-level martial artist possibly unleash such a powerful martial skill?!
Before reaching the King Realm, the difference in strength is simply a difference in numerical values.
After reaching the fifth tier, Jiang Yuan, now at level 40, has a strength value of nearly 14,000 points, a base damage of 140,000, a tenfold boost from the Fire Breath skill, and the enhancements from martial arts and equipment.
One hit can easily deal over three million damage!
Even a typical ninth-tier Grandmaster can only deal this much damage.
The Thunder Finger of Prison Suppression hadn't even landed yet.
Under that terrifying pressure, Zhao Xu's legs sank deep into the concrete floor.
He gritted his teeth and clapped his hands together.
"Another version of the landscape painting! Appears!"
A painting unfolded behind him, from which mountains flew out, rapidly solidifying and expanding, and collided heavily with the giant golden finger!
"Bang--!"
The earth trembled violently, cracking open inch by inch.
Buildings and houses within a radius of 100 meters collapsed with a loud crash.
Zhang Wei and the others were also blown away by the strong wind.
"Strange Paintings of Mountains and Seas, Earth Dragon!"
The earth instantly turned into a swamp, and an earth dragon emerged from the ground, solidifying from the void, roaring as it returned to Jiang Yuan.
"Sizzle... Boom!"
The mechanical Death Serpent surrounding Jiang Yuan glowed with light in its eyes and spewed out lasers, shattering the earth dragon into countless swamps in one strike.
Spatial fluctuations.
Jiang Yuan flashed to Zhao Xu's side, his left hand, equipped with the Flame Claw, wreathed in flames as he struck down with his palm.
"boom!"
A purple diamond-shaped light shield appeared, blocking the attack.
Sensing the strength of the light shield, Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.
Zhao Xu then let out a smug laugh.
"An epic-level Three Lights Barrier, a defense that no one with ill intentions towards me can break. No matter how hard you attack, you can't break it."
"I'm just not good at fighting, don't think I'm really afraid of a brat like you." Zhao Xu sneered arrogantly.
With his epic-level top-tier equipment and items, he had enough confidence.
"Since you won't heed my advice, refuse to become my student, and are determined to live and die with this city, then I'll go back and report the truth. Although it's a pity to lose one of the greatest talents in history, there's nothing I can do about it; it was your own choice."
Zhao Xu took out a prop that resembled a Rubik's Cube, released his grip, and the Rubik's Cube floated and rotated on its own, emitting a silvery-white light.
A gate of light gradually took shape.
"I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm going back to the academy. You'll stay with this city..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The purple rhombus-shaped barrier surrounding him was shattered by a single punch.
Zhao Xu's expression changed instantly from smug and mocking to stiff, blank, then distorted, shocked, and incredulous. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes almost popped out.
"you……!!!"
next second.
Jiang Yuan's fist, the size of a sandbag, rapidly magnified before his eyes, radiating a dazzling golden light.
The defensive barrier of the passive equipment was shattered the moment it appeared.
The punch landed heavily on Zhao Xu's face.
"Bang!"
The gold-grade custom-made glasses were shattered by a single punch, and his entire face, including his nose and eyes, caved in. He was sent flying like a cannonball, traveling several kilometers and crashing into several tall buildings.
Activating his Extreme Dao Domain and disregarding the rules, Jiang Yuan withdrew his fist and said calmly.
"Rules? Are they even useful?"
Jiang Yuan picked up the Rubik's Cube that had fallen to the ground.
Identification.
【Space Cube】(Epic Item): Contains powerful spatial laws, can record spatial anchor points, open spatial portals to achieve travel, and consumes one space crystal each time it is used.
Cooldown time: one hour.
"As expected of a top-tier wealthy family, they are indeed rich."
With his True Sight Eye, Zhao Xu, who had been sent flying, managed to stay upright and even attempted to tear apart the high-level teleportation scroll to escape.
Jiang Yuan sneered.
"Huh? Still trying to run?"
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
A small purple umbrella appeared in front of me.
It was an epic item obtained from Mr. Evil.
【A Sky-Covering Umbrella】!
The [Sky-Covering Umbrella] transformed into a purple light that shot into the sky, enveloping the entire block and completely blocking Zhao Xu's escape route.
next moment.
A golden chain shot out from the void, stretching for several kilometers to bind Zhao Xu, who was stuck in the rubble, and bring him back to his original spot.
Bound by the Yellow Springs Chains and suppressed by Jiang Yuan's will, Zhao Xu couldn't even move a finger.
"Epic-level spiritual equipment... How could you possibly have something like that..."
With his face sunken and swollen, Zhao Xu spoke in a weak, trembling voice, filled with disbelief.
The chilling aura contained within the Yellow Springs Nether Chains made his very soul tremble with fear.
"none of your business."
Jiang Yuan stepped on him, ruthlessly trampling on the dignity of this Zhao family scion and professor of the Divine Martial Academy.
"Now I'm giving you two choices: die..."
Zhao Xu's body trembled.
"Or hand over all your valuables."
Simply put...
Robbery.
Zhao Xu's voice trembled: "Aren't you afraid of incurring retaliation from the Zhao family by doing this?"
"I'm not afraid of anything."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, his killing intent boiling: "Say one more word, and believe me, I'll kill you right here and now and loot your equipment!"
Zhao Xu regretted it so much he wanted to die.
Why did I have to get involved in this mess?
Why did I provoke him?!
