8: On-site teaching, smashing the master with two punches

Lin Fan lowered his head, clenching his jaw, forcing back the tears that welled up in his eyes.

His cheeks burned, not from injury, but from shame.

He had disgraced his Master.

“Master… Disciple is incompetent.”

Lin Fan’s voice was hoarse as he knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

Seven days and seven nights of fleeing, several near-death experiences; he had exhausted everything, used all his trump cards, and in the end, he was still chased like a dead dog by that Black Fiend Old Ancestor until he had nowhere left to run.

If his Master had not arrived in time, he would already be a corpse.

Lu Yuchen’s expression was calm, showing no signs of joy or anger.

“To be able to run for seven days from a Grandmaster is not useless.”

His tone was casual, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

“However, your Fist Intent has not yet entered the gate.”

Lu Yuchen paused, his gaze passing over his Disciple and falling upon the surging Devilish Qi not far away.

“Today, this Master will show you what a fist truly is.”

Before his words finished, Lu Yuchen had already turned around.

Over there, the Black Fiend Old Ancestor’s internal alarm bells blared, and all the hairs on his body stood on end instantly!

He couldn’t see through this person before him!

This person had appeared silently, as if out of thin air, and when those indifferent eyes looked over, his proud Grandmaster Qi seemed to melt like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, giving him the illusion that it was about to dissipate!

“Your Excellency is…”

The Black Fiend Old Ancestor forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, just about to say a few pleasantries to give himself a way out.

But Lu Yuchen was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

“Fan’er, watch closely.”

“This Master’s Legacy is called Six Paths Reincarnation.

This fist is the Human Path.”

“I will only demonstrate it once.”

Lu Yuchen simply raised his hand in an ordinary manner and casually threw out a punch.

At this moment, all sounds in the world seemed to disappear.

The Black Fiend Old Ancestor’s pupils contracted sharply; he was horrified to find that he was like a mosquito encased in amber, his mind could move, but his body couldn’t even twitch a small finger!

Space… was confined!

There was no earth-shattering phenomenon, only a blurry phantom of an emperor flashing behind Lu Yuchen before vanishing.

That seemingly slow fist imprinted itself in his vision.

The fist had not arrived, but its Intent had.

A majestic, vast torrent of will, representing the judgment of all beings, instantly overwhelmed his mind.

“No…”

The Black Fiend Old Ancestor squeezed out a final syllable from his throat.

The next instant.

There was no explosion, no loud bang.

This Grandmaster, who had dominated the Demonic Path, shattered and disintegrated silently from head to toe, like a sand sculpture weathered by billions of years, turning into the tiniest dust and completely vanishing.

Not even a drop of blood was left behind.

Both form and spirit were extinguished!

Lin Fan knelt in place, completely dumbfounded, his mind a blank.

This was… Master’s strength?

One punch?

A Grandmaster… just gone like that?

A realization mixed with shock surged wildly in his heart.

In Lu Yuchen’s mind, the System also prompted that Lin Fan’s Human Path had reached Major Achievement, and Lu Yuchen himself had received a tenfold return of Human Path Great Perfection; he was very satisfied with this.

Raising Disciples, after all, a little investment yields good returns.

“How much did you understand?” He turned to look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan jolted, took a deep breath, his eyes filled with fanaticism and reverence: “I seem to understand, yet not fully… But Disciple knows that all my previous fist training was in vain!”

“It’s not too late.”

As soon as Lu Yuchen finished speaking, his brow suddenly furrowed slightly as he looked towards the eastern sky.

“Tsk, trouble’s here.”

Boom! Boom!

Two powerful and domineering Qi tore through the sky without concealment, rapidly approaching!

In an instant, a monk and a Daoist, two figures with profound Qi, had already appeared in the forest.

The one wearing a golden kasaya was Zen Master Liaofan of Shaolin.

The one wearing a black python Dragon robe was the King of Zhen, Xiao Wuji, of Great Chu!

Both were Grandmasters who had been famous for a long time!

Their gazes were like lightning, first sweeping over the residual Devilish Qi on the ground, their eyes narrowing, then unceremoniously locking onto Lu Yuchen.

“Amitabha.” Zen Master Liaofan proclaimed a Buddhist name, but his tone was devoid of compassion: “Benefactor’s killing intent is too heavy; although this Devil Head is a wanted criminal of the imperial court, he should have been handed over to us for disposal.

Please return to Shaolin with me to explain the situation.”

“Hmph!” The King of Zhen, Xiao Wuji, was even more direct, his voice like the clang of metal: “Within the borders of Great Chu, executing a major criminal, by law, requires reporting and filing.

Who is Your Excellency? From what Legacy? Why did you carry out the execution privately? Come to the capital with this King!”

Between their words, two Grandmaster Qi subtly intertwined, blocking all of Lu Yuchen’s escape routes.

From the start, they adopted an interrogative stance.

They sensed Lu Yuchen’s extraordinary nature, but the Black Fiend Old Ancestor’s notorious reputation was well-known.

They naturally assumed that Lu Yuchen must have used some secret technique or treasure with a great price to kill him, and he might be in a weakened state now.

Coupled with their combined forces, they were confident they could suppress any Grandmaster within the Great Chu territory.

Lu Yuchen felt like laughing.

He looked at Lin Fan beside him, who was still reeling from the shock.

“Fan’er, this Master will teach you another lesson.”

“Cultivating the Dao of Immortals is about achieving clarity of thought.

When you encounter these self-important flies who immediately start pointing fingers at you, what should you do?”

Lin Fan froze for a moment, then understood his Master’s meaning, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

“One punch… kill them!”

“Clever.”

Lu Yuchen nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze to the two, his tone as casual as if asking for directions.

“Do I need to explain to you why I kill people?”

“You want to take my Disciple away, have you asked me?”

Zen Master Liaofan and Xiao Wuji’s expressions instantly darkened.

Arrogant!

“It seems Benefactor does not intend to cooperate!”

“Take him down!”

The two stopped talking nonsense and attacked decisively!

Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand! Imperial Sky Rending Palm!

Two powerful forces intertwined and tore, rushing straight towards Lu Yuchen’s face, their momentum terrifying.

Lu Yuchen didn’t even look, still instructing Lin Fan.

“Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Second Form, Asura Path.”

“The Human Path speaks of rules and judgment.

But the Asura Path speaks only of slaughter and destruction; it is a fist that defies reason.”

As his words fell.

He turned his hand and casually threw out another punch.

Rumble—!

The world trembled violently!

A bloody Fist Intent, completely opposite to the previous one—violent, mad, as if it wanted to destroy all living beings before it—erupted like a volcano!

The ferocious smiles on Zen Master Liaofan’s and Xiao Wuji’s faces instantly froze, turning into a fear they had never experienced in their lives!

Their True Qi, their ultimate palm techniques…

In the face of that pure will of destruction, they were as fragile as sandcastles built by a three-year-old child!

“No…”

“Bang!” “Bang!”

Two dull explosions occurred simultaneously.

The two Grandmasters, who had shaken an entire region, couldn’t even leave behind a complete corpse.

They instantly turned into two masses of blood mist and flesh, splattering onto the trees and plants in the forest.

Lu Yuchen retracted his fist and stood with his hands behind his back.

It was as if he had merely swatted two mosquitoes.

He looked at Lin Fan again, his expression still calm.

“Did you see clearly this time?”
