312: Chapter 312 Absolute Strength

"What?" Zeng Ziyu was shocked in his heart. After he had just dealt with one, the other party actually dealt with four simultaneously in the blink of an eye. It was simply outrageous, and it seemed they still had energy to spare.

His own Qi was already extremely depleted, with less than ten percent remaining. Next, wanting to slay another sea monster would be extremely difficult.

But what about the other party?

They were still attacking right now.

No, this old man absolutely cannot die just like this. Thinking this, he looked at a sea monster to the side, which was a crocodile, except its skin was somewhat pitch-black.

That crocodile belonged to an extremely powerful existence even among the First Rank level, and it had just crawled up from the sea surface.

His gaze was vicious as he hurriedly rushed forward.

This action caused Chen Lingzhen and the others to look over as well.

Upon seeing that his target was that First Rank High Grade crocodile,

Instantly, Chen Lingzhen seemed to perceive the other party's purpose.

Raising his sword for a horizontal slash, he slew a sea monster that was ambushing him, and then followed closely behind Zeng Ziyu.

Before long, Zeng Ziyu arrived in front of this First Rank High Grade crocodile.

Originally, a Late Qi Refining Stage Cultivator hurried over. Seeing that Zeng Ziyu wanted to make a Move, thinking the other party wanted a one-on-one fight, he consciously stepped back.

Zeng Ziyu slashed at the crocodile with his sword, infuriating it.

The crocodile glanced at him and headed towards Zeng Ziyu's direction.

"As expected, he wants to lure it over to deal with me?"

Chen Lingzhen's gaze suddenly turned cold.

The aura of the fifth layer of Qi Refining erupted from his body, and under his control, the qingyang sword slashed at Zeng Ziyu and the crocodile behind him at an extremely fast speed.

"What?"

Zeng Ziyu was shocked in his heart; this strike clearly intended to put him to death.

Since that was the case, his pupils turned cold, and his own Flying Sword was likewise sacrificed, slashing towards Chen Lingzhen.

Quite a few people saw this scene, but they didn't speak up nor did they stop it.

Earlier they were close by, knowing about the two people's wager and also knowing what Zeng Ziyu wanted to do.

It was nothing more than wanting to use that crocodile to attack Chen Lingzhen.

The two Flying Swords came into contact in an instant, but Zeng Ziyu's Flying Sword didn't even have the strength to resist for a fraction, and was knocked flying away.

Seeing this, Zeng Ziyu's expression was gloomy. His Qi had already been consumed too much; having less than ten percent Qi left in his body made it so that even the Moves he unleashed were not even half as strong as before.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out a Medicinal Pill and consumed it, refining it to restore his Qi while recalling his Flying Sword. At the same time, with a pat on his Storage Pouch, a shield appeared before him.

Earlier, in order to save some Qi, he hadn't deployed two Magical Artifacts simultaneously.

As the most talented Genius of the Zeng Family in the past hundred years, besides two Magical Artifacts, he also had several life-saving Talismans in his hands.

Furthermore, the sea monsters he had slain were already fewer than Chen Lingzhen's. If he didn't injure him now, he wouldn't be able to catch up within the remaining time of an incense stick, and by then he would surely die.

Thinking this, watching Chen Lingzhen once again sacrifice a Flying Sword to slash at him, he took out an escape Talisman to evade the attacks of the Flying Sword and the crocodile behind him.

Earlier he had been very close to Chen Lingzhen. After dodging just now, Chen Lingzhen would inevitably have to face this crocodile.

Chen Lingzhen frowned. Looking at the crocodile drawing closer and closer to him, he took out a First Rank High Grade immobilization Talisman to immobilize this crocodile, then turned around and chased after Zeng Ziyu.

His Qi had also been consumed quite a bit. Of course, speaking strictly in terms of the fifth layer of Qi Refining, he had already consumed seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent of Qi was still sufficient to slay Zeng Ziyu here.

Swoosh!

Just as Zeng Ziyu appeared, he saw a Flying Sword slashing towards him.

He hurriedly dodged, shocked in his heart, "What is going on?"

When he saw his surroundings clearly, he discovered that the crocodile was suppressed in place, and only then did he understand what method Chen Lingzhen had used to suppress the other party.

The anticipated battle did not happen, but this Chen Lingzhen had already dashed straight over. It seemed he still had to personally fight a match against the other party.

He sacrificed his own purple-red Flying Sword, and the shield behind him also floated before his eyes.

Anyway, for Zeng Ziyu, if he didn't defeat Chen Lingzhen here, he definitely wouldn't be able to catch up within the remaining time of an incense stick.

He already had two fewer sea monsters than the other party.

Seeing this, the surrounding people felt disdain in their hearts. They were already somewhat dissatisfied with Zeng Ziyu's vicious behavior, even the group of young Cultivators who previously supported him.

When the older generation of Cultivators looked at Zeng Ziyu, they hurriedly instructed their juniors not to have too much contact with people from the Zeng Family when encountering them in the future.

The people of this Zeng Family were not only arrogant and conceited, but their character was also extremely vile.

In fact, if it were them facing a life-or-death crisis, they wouldn't do any better than the other party; but some things were fine if left undone, and once done, they would make people spurn them.

After sacrificing his Flying Sword, Chen Lingzhen said, "Don't you really want to see the foundation of a Foundation Establishment Family? Then this humble one will let you see."

Finishing his words, he patted his Storage Pouch, and another Flying Sword was sacrificed. It was likewise a qingyang sword. Since the other party could drive two Magical Artifacts, how could he not be able to do the same?

The first qingyang sword steadily suppressed the other party's purple-red Flying Sword, while the other Flying Sword entangled with the other party's shield.

Just when Zeng Ziyu thought he had blocked the other party's attack, Chen Lingzhen once again sacrificed a new Flying Sword.

"What?"

To actually manipulate three First Rank Medium Grade Flying Swords simultaneously—even if the other party's cultivation was one layer higher than his, it shouldn't be possible to reach this step, right?

He asked himself that he was unable to drive three Flying Swords at the same time.

Yet just as he was still shocked, Chen Lingzhen once again sacrificed a new qingyang sword. With four qingyang swords sacrificed simultaneously, Zeng Ziyu was already terrified.

Those surrounding Cultivators were also somewhat shocked.

"How is this possible?"

A Qi Refining Cultivator could actually manipulate four Flying Swords, yet the other party was merely at the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

If it were the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, perhaps they could still manage it, or else it would have to be a complete set of Magical Artifacts.

A complete set of Magical Artifacts was much easier to drive than several individual Magical Artifacts.

The reason was also that a complete set of Magical Artifacts was an integrated whole, but these four Magical Artifacts were not a set. Driving them required more Divine Sense, and the consumed Qi also exceeded that of a set of Magical Artifacts.

Yet the other party sacrificed them without even batting an eyelash.

Was this the foundation of a Foundation Establishment Family?

Not to mention that a Qi Refining Cultivator himself already carried so many Magical Artifacts of the same rank, his own strength was also not weak.

For the first time, despair surged in Zeng Ziyu's heart. Had he known earlier that the other party possessed such strength, he shouldn't have gone to offend the other party in the first place, nor should he have wagered with the other party; but by now, whatever he said was too late.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The four Flying Swords struck out simultaneously. Zeng Ziyu could only block two of them, while the other two went straight towards his head.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I..., Ah!" Before Zeng Ziyu could open his mouth to beg for mercy, his glabella was pierced through by one of the swords, and he died with blood staining the earth.

That middle-aged man who had been saved by Chen Lingzhen earlier felt quite vindicated in his heart after seeing Chen Lingzhen resolve him.

Earlier he had wanted to help, but unfortunately he was called to stop by Chen Lingzhen. After all, they were in a wager and it had to be fair and just. Only in this way could these people be convinced.

Chen Lingzhen walked over step by step, and after collecting the other party's Storage Pouch, he looked at the crowd beside him. Quite a few people consciously stepped back.

Even those young Cultivators did not dare to look him in the eye.
