Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

"Hm?"

Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked toward Snow Vajra.

’I’ve never had any dealings with this Snow Vajra. For him to threaten to beat me up every time he sees me... Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?’

Before Jiang Chen could speak,

Zhao Hongluan, her face a mask of fury, planted her hands on her hips and snapped, "Snow Vajra, what do you think you’re doing?"

She had finally managed to see Jiang Chen again.

But before they could even exchange a few words, Snow Vajra had ruined the atmosphere of their long-awaited reunion, infuriating her.

Flames of anger blazed in her phoenix eyes.

Little did she know...

...her furious display only served to further enrage Snow Vajra.

Both Snow Vajra and Zhao Hongluan hailed from the Flying Snow Dynasty. From the moment he first saw Zhao Hongluan, Snow Vajra had been smitten. He pursued her relentlessly, doing everything in his power to show off in front of her, but Zhao Hongluan never paid him any mind.

This in itself was a huge source of frustration for Snow Vajra.

He had just powerfully defeated Fox Mei’Er and had expected Zhao Hongluan to finally look at him in a new light.

But instead...

...Zhao Hongluan hadn’t even spared him a glance. She ran straight to Jiang Chen, hugged his arm, and beamed with joy.

And now, Zhao Hongluan was publicly rebuking him for Jiang Chen’s sake.

This was tantamount to pouring oil on the fire of his already immense anger. His body trembled slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold, sharp light as he stared at Jiang Chen and snarled through gritted teeth, "Brat, I know you’re Jiang Chen. Don’t think you’re hot stuff just because you killed that waste, Long Jingtian. Today, I, Snow Vajra, will teach you how to behave, a lesson your parents clearly failed to impart!"

ROAR!

Without another word, Snow Vajra threw a punch, sending it hurtling toward Jiang Chen.

"Stop!"

Zhao Hongluan’s figure flashed, and she appeared directly in front of the fierce fist’s radiance.

"What?"

Snow Vajra’s expression changed drastically. He hastily retracted his attack and stared at Zhao Hongluan in fury. "What are you doing?"

Zhao Hongluan bit her lip and said, "I won’t let you hurt Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

Snow Vajra’s face twitched as he shot a venomous glare at Jiang Chen and roared, "Jiang Chen, you’re supposed to be a peerless prodigy! Are you just going to hide behind a woman? You coward...!"

Zhao Hongluan’s face was flushed with anger. Just as she was about to speak, a hand landed on her shoulder.

"Let me handle this."

Jiang Chen said calmly, stepping forward. He squinted at Snow Vajra, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Anyone familiar with him would know.

This was a sign that Jiang Chen was getting angry.

Jiang Chen had never considered himself a patient man. Snow Vajra had taunted and provoked him again and again, even dragging his parents into it. If he could still hold back after all that, he wouldn’t be Jiang Chen.

Zhao Hongluan’s expression changed slightly. "Jiang Chen, Snow Vajra is very strong. He’s on the verge of breaking through to the Human King Realm Eighth Stage. You’re no match for him..."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Just stand back and watch."

His eyes fell upon Snow Vajra.

Jiang Chen slowly raised one hand and said coolly, "I’ll only use one hand. If you can force me to use both, I’ll consider it your win."

"What?"

Snow Vajra’s expression changed abruptly, twisting as if he’d just swallowed a fly.

He was the number one young genius of the Flying Snow Dynasty, a Direct Disciple of Emperor Feixue himself! And Jiang Chen was claiming he could defeat him with just one hand?

"ROAR!"

Snow Vajra let out a furious roar. His venomous eyes locked onto Jiang Chen as he bellowed, "Jiang Chen, don’t be so arrogant... Now fall!"

BOOM!

His entire body transformed into a raging blizzard.

The blizzard spun with incredible speed, reaching Jiang Chen in an instant. The fluttering snowflakes were, in fact, all illusions formed by Snow Vajra’s fists. They fell in a dazzling, chaotic flurry, and each shadow of a fist-flake packed enough power to demolish a small mountain.

The onlookers’ expressions changed slightly, revealing their astonishment. "What a powerful Fist Technique! As expected of a genius with the bloodline of an Ancient Snow Ape. With his physical strength alone, he could fight a master at the Seventh Stage of Human Emperor Realm!"

Fox Mei’Er glanced at the delicate-featured young man beside her, flashed a seductive smile, and asked, "Arhat, who do you think will win between these two?"

Arhat!

He was the one Gai Shi had spoken of, the super genius from the Luotian Dynasty who had once suppressed the likes of Long Jingtian and Snow Vajra to claim the number one spot on the Earth Venerable List!

A bloody light glinted in his eyes as he stated flatly, "No matter which of them wins, neither is a match for me."

"Ah..."

Fox Mei’Er was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled. "Hee hee, I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

"Hmph!"

Arhat gave a cool snort and said no more.

His eyes turned toward Jiang Chen, who was currently engulfed by the blizzard. His gaze was calm as he murmured, ’Master has always praised you as the greatest genius in the history of the Eastern Continent, but I refuse to believe it. The greatest genius of the Eastern Continent can only be me, Arhat!’

Unconsciously, Arhat’s fists clenched.

A fervent battle lust burned in his eyes.

Just then...

...the flurry of fist-flake shadows landed on Jiang Chen, one after another.

However...

...those fist-shadows, each capable of leveling a mountain, struck Jiang Chen’s body as if hitting solid steel, only producing a series of THUDDING sounds. A golden light pulsed around Jiang Chen; he was completely unharmed. When the blizzard dissipated,

Snow Vajra reappeared, staring at Jiang Chen in utter disbelief. "How is this possible? How can your physical body be so strong?"

Jiang Chen dusted off his chest and smiled faintly. "Nothing is impossible... You’ve made your move. Now, it’s my turn."

As he spoke,

Jiang Chen simply raised a single finger and thrust it forward with crushing force.

BOOM!

A field of starlight unfurled, its radiance so brilliant it was blinding.

Between Jiang Chen and Snow Vajra, a great river of starlight coalesced, vast and mighty, with brilliant starry motes pulsing within it.

In an instant,

the finger was right in front of Snow Vajra.

A scornful look appeared on Snow Vajra’s face as he sneered, "You took my attack head-on with your body, so I’ll block yours with mine. Among Martial Artists of the same age, I’ve never lost when it comes to pure physical strength... WAH... How is that possible...?"

Before Snow Vajra could even finish his boast,

his body shuddered violently. Under the impact of the starlight, he was sent flying backward.

A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips.

He flew for several hundred meters before crashing heavily into the ship’s railing, collapsing to the ground, and passing out.

HISS...

On deck, everyone stared in stunned disbelief.

The mighty Snow Vajra, a peerless genius with the bloodline of an Ancient Snow Ape, couldn’t even withstand a single finger from Jiang Chen?

Everyone now looked at Jiang Chen with a profound sense of awe and fear...

[Eight Chapters to go. My sincerest apologies, I pulled an all-nighter the day before yesterday and still haven’t recovered. My head’s all fuzzy! Little Tian will keep going!]
