Chapter 2171 - 2144: One Punch to Shatter You
Tang Wenhu’s gaze was fixed on Lu Tianxing, his eyes brimming with an unhidden murderous intent. This time, he must ensure Lu Tianxing’s death. Even if Black Shadow hesitated to kill Lu Tianxing, Tang Wenhu would make sure Lu Tianxing died without a burial place. He realized how terrifying Lu Tianxing was, and if not killed, Lu Tianxing would definitely become his nightmare in the future.
Moreover, Lu Tianxing has ventured in alone now. If Tang Wenhu could capture Lu Tianxing, he wouldn’t need to rely on Black Shadow’s power. He could leave Xiangjiang alive and return to Shu. At that point, killing Lu Tianxing might even be seen as a significant achievement in Tang Fengxing’s eyes.
"Hong Tao, go, kill him."
Tang Wenhu suddenly ordered.
"Whish!"
At the moment Tang Wenhu spoke, a middle-aged man standing behind him suddenly made a move. His figure flickered, moving at extreme speed, almost appearing next to Lu Tianxing in an instant. His hands were like cannonballs, smashing toward Lu Tianxing, rising and falling like a vast flood, True Qi swirling into a vortex, fists piercing steel.
This was Hong Tao’s masterful technique, Raging Wave Nine Fists. Once unleashed, they were like torrents, relentless, and each fist struck stronger than the previous attack. When all nine fists are deployed, the attack is like a stormy sea, destroying everything, unstoppable.
Lu Tianxing watched as the fist carrying the tempestuous waves came crashing down, his expression unchanged. He didn’t even look, merely raised a delicate hand, the palm force soft and boneless.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man named Hong Tao sneered, "Third Young Master of Lu Family, it seems that’s all you are. Daring to oppose me with such power? You’re simply courting death."
Boom!
But before Hong Tao’s words could finish, Lu Tianxing’s hand suddenly clenched into a fist. A terrifying force erupted from him, like a slumbering god suddenly awakening. The fist smashed into the void, rendering the air into nothingness, creating a vacuum.
"Not good, Chen Wuxiong, make your move too."
Tang Wenhu, at the peak of Mid-stage Mythical, suddenly changed his face upon sensing Lu Tianxing’s actions, roaring in anger.
At Tang Wenhu’s call, Chen Wuxiong, also at the peak of Mid-stage Mythical, immediately sprang into action. His figure was like lightning, diving towards Lu Tianxing, attempting to save Hong Tao from Lu Tianxing’s grip.
But it was too late.
At such a close range, faced with Lu Tianxing’s violent assault, Hong Tao couldn’t withstand it. When his fist collided with Lu Tianxing’s, it was instantly crushed, his entire arm destroyed by the violent True Qi, exploding into a shower of blood. The True Qi on him was shattered upon contact with Lu Tianxing, his chest unreservedly met Lu Tianxing’s fist.
The violent force punched a hole in Hong Tao’s chest, demolishing his heart.
Thud!
Hong Tao’s body fell to the ground, from a living, breathing person a moment ago to a corpse the next.
Upon witnessing this, Chen Wuxiong’s face changed drastically. He swiftly retreated, realizing it was futile to save Hong Tao now, as he was already dead, heart blasted apart. There was no point in saving a corpse, especially with Lu Tianxing’s displayed power eliciting fear and chills within him.
This Lu Tianxing’s strength was fearsome, killing Hong Tao with a single blow.
Although Hong Tao wasn’t at the peak of Mid-stage Mythical, his strength at that level wasn’t weak. Even Chen Wuxiong would have to exert effort to kill Hong Tao, and even then, a one-hit kill would be impossible. Though Hong Tao’s demise was partly due to underestimating Lu Tianxing, the undeniable truth was Lu Tianxing’s formidable power.
"How dare you think of capturing me with such lackluster strength, seeking your own death."
After killing Hong Tao, Lu Tianxing did not make a move but instead clasped his hands behind his back, adopting a grandmaster’s aura. Killing a Mid-stage Mythical, even a careless one, didn’t stir any emotions in him anymore.
"Young man, your methods are ruthless, your heart venomous. You strike to kill without mercy, going too far," Chen Wuxiong said icily, his gaze sternly fixed on Lu Tianxing. He could see Lu Tianxing wouldn’t be easy to deal with, yet he was compelled to act.
"Are my strikes ruthless? Not at all! Only one person is dead now. When I’ve killed all of you, then you can call me vicious!"
Lu Tianxing replied calmly, "Moreover, daring to plot against me, you should be prepared for death. I’m merely fulfilling this pact, sending you to the etherworld."
"Is that so?"
True Qi slowly emanated from Chen Wuxiong, "Then I’ll test you, see if you’re capable of sending me to the etherworld."
"Fine, I also want to see whether a peak Mid-stage Mythical like you can kill me."
Lu Tianxing took a step forward, his True Qi exploding at that instant, filling the air with pressure. The surge of True Qi condensed around him like a descending deity, instilling a compulsion to submit within everyone.
"What cultivation technique is this? It’s terrifying."
Everyone’s expression changed at this moment.
Confronting Lu Tianxing, they felt akin to subjects facing an emperor, an urge to kneel, even Chen Wuxiong who was stronger sensed this.
"You all, keep an eye on the Third Young Master of Lu Family. If Chen Wuxiong is defeated, act immediately, capture Lu Tianxing. Remember, don’t kill him, I want him alive."
Tang Wenhu’s eyes flashed with a glint as he ordered softly. He didn’t want Lu Tianxing dead, at least not until Black Shadow made a move. Killing Lu Tianxing would provoke the surrounding hidden experts.
Capturing Lu Tianxing would make the surrounding experts, including the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng, hesitate to act rashly. Without Black Shadow, Tang Wenhu could still return to Shu alive, and the benefits would far surpass killing Lu Tianxing.
