"This dilapidated martial arts hall lacks even a name. Predictably, it's nothing more than rubbish," Jing Wuchen remarked as he strolled towards the martial arts hall.
Suddenly, he halted.
His attention fixated on the sole word adorning the plaque.
"Wu?"
A frown creased his brow, an intuition suggesting the plaque concealed something. Despite careful observation, he found nothing.
He couldn't help but sneer.
A wave of his hand unleashed a burst of energy towards the "Wu" character on the plaque.
Without glancing back, he entered the martial arts hall. Due to the damaged plaque, destruction was the inevitable outcome of his methods.
Unbeknownst to him, his burst of energy not only failed to harm the "Wu" character but left no trace at all.
Upon entering the front hall, Wuchen attempted to destroy it with a forceful palm strike. To his surprise, there was no response. Instead, the eighteen pictures adorning the walls emitted dazzling light.
Without delay, knives, spears, swords, halberds... eighteen weapons materialized above his head, exuding a destructive aura that enveloped him.
Wuchen's initially sickly complexion changed drastically under the pressure, his face turning as white as paper.
He realized he was facing a life-threatening crisis.
Abandoning his earlier frivolity, he didn't dare to be careless. Almost instantly, he retrieved the Shaking Heaven Stone given to him by Xuanwu Patriarch.
The moment the Shaking Heaven Stone appeared, it emitted a dazzling light.
However, in an instant, under the pressure of the eighteen weapons, it dimmed, losing all its brilliance.
"What?"
Wuchen was shocked, with no means of resistance left. He could only watch as the eighteen weapons descended upon him, drawing closer.
In the blink of an eye, amid the flickering of electric light, the eighteen weapons intersected, and Wuchen could barely let out a miserable scream. He disintegrated, leaving only the Shaking Heaven Stone with a "clatter," falling to the ground.
"What was that sound?"
Yi Feng, who was about to doze off, jolted awake at the noise and sat up.
