"What?"
The expressions of Qin Yu, Lu Ren, and the other four people changed at the same time.
Wang Teng rushed to Ding Hai's face, angrily saying, "Ding Hai, you despicable person, how dare you poison? You..."
Slap!
Before he could finish his words, a lightning-fast slap came, knocking him to the ground. Instantly, half of his face was swollen, and blood mixed with teeth sprayed out.
Ding Hai made the move!
Looking at the fallen Wang Teng, Ding Hai spat on him, sneering, "If I remember correctly, you are the two waste that entered the Qingyun Sect, right? Dare to make noise in front of me. Do you believe that I will kill you now?"
Qin Yu drew a thin as cicada's wings soft sword from his waist and said coldly, "Ding Hai, I advise you to stop now and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"Qin Yu, now that you are heavily poisoned, how can you be rude to me?"
Ding Hai smiled evilly and stepped forward. His evil smile continued to sweep up and down on Qin Yu's graceful body, chuckling, "It is I who will be rude to you!"
"What do you want?"
Qin Yu frowned, feeling his strength rapidly draining and a bit panicked inside.
"What do I want? Of course, it is to make a bad situation worse. By then, my Ding family will propose marriage to you, and your Qin family can only compromise, hahaha!"
After Ding Hai finished speaking, he ignored Qin Yu's resistance, grabbed Qin Yu's arm, and was about to drag her away.
Qin Yu struggled frantically but found that she couldn't muster any strength. Fear and despair flashed in her eyes for a moment.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly flashed past, reaching out to grab Ding Hai by the arm and sneering, "If anyone's going to make a bad situation worse, it should be me. Who said it's your turn?"
"What did you say?" Ding Hai seemed to have misheard, but then his face turned extremely cold as he came back to his senses.
"You should leave quickly. You are no match for him!" Qin Yu said anxiously.
Ding Hai had opened six spiritual apertures, and with a casual punch, he could generate a strength of six thousand pounds. In contrast, Lu Ren, with his waste bloodline, had only opened one spiritual aperture. How could he possibly stand a chance against Ding Hai?
If Ding Hai really made a move, one strike would be enough to kill Lu Ren.
"Want to leave? It's too late!" Ding Hai sneered and delivered a palm strike towards Lu Ren. The light of spiritual energy shone on his palm, and the powerful aura even caused the air to crackle with explosive sounds.
This is a mid-ranked skill in the human-tier, the "Great Convergence Palm." It is extremely powerful and forceful. Even martial artists who have opened five spiritual apertures would spit blood or perish on the spot when hit by this palm strike.
As Ding Hai's palm strike was about to land on Lu Ren, Lu Ren remained calm and composed. Instead of dodging or retreating, he raised his fist and chose to meet the strike head-on.
"A waste like you dares to challenge my strength?" Ding Hai sneered as he saw Lu Ren prepare to receive the strike. The aura from his six spiritual apertures surged into his palm, intent on delivering a fatal blow to Lu Ren.
With a light chuckle, Lu Ren gathered the spiritual energy from all six of his spiritual apertures into his fist at the moment of impact between his fist and Ding Hai's palm.
Boom!
Everyone witnessed Ding Hai being struck as if by lightning, staggering back more than ten steps before finally coming to a stop.
"How is this possible?" Ding Hai looked at Lu Ren in disbelief.
Qin Yu usually only brings three waste individuals on her adventures. Both Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng were known for being the twin wastes of the entry-level of the Qingyun Sect. Lu Ren joining the team, compared to Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng, was probably not much stronger.
"Boom!"
A powerful force exploded as Lu Ren's fist struck Ding Hai's chest, sending him flying backward with a pained expression. The impact was so strong that a cracking sound could be heard as it resonated through the air.
Ding Hai crashed onto the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise around him. He groaned in pain, struggling to get up but ultimately failed to do so.
The onlookers, including Qin Yu, Wang Teng, and Zhang Sheng, were all stunned by the scene unfolding before them. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Lu Ren, who was supposed to be a waste with a mediocre bloodline, had just displayed such incredible strength and skill that even Ding Hai was no match for him.
Qin Yu's eyes widened in amazement, realizing that there was more to Lu Ren than meets the eye. Wang Teng and Zhang Sheng exchanged astonished glances, unable to comprehend how a supposedly weak individual could possess such formidable power.
As the dust settled, Lu Ren stood tall and proud, his fists still clenched from the powerful punch he had delivered. He turned to face Ding Hai, who laid on the ground in defeat, and spoke in a calm yet commanding voice, "Leave now, and never show your face again. Otherwise, the consequences will be far worse than what you've experienced today."
Ding Hai struggled to get up, a mixture of fear and frustration evident in his eyes. Without a word, he slowly got to his feet, casting a resentful glance at Lu Ren before turning and walking away, defeated and humiliated.
The air was thick with tension as the group stood in silence, processing the events that had just unfolded. Lu Ren had proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with, his true strength and potential leaving everyone in awe.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream resounded through the surroundings.
Immediately after, Ding Hai was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a thick tree before falling to the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.
The sight shocked the other three disciples of the Royal Dao Sect.
Ding Hai, who had opened six spirit apertures, had been easily defeated by him.
"You all, attack together and kill him!" Ding Hai roared with anguish.
The three entry-level disciples of the Royal Dao Sect, who had also opened six spirit apertures like Ding Hai, though not as strong, united to face him. Even if a warrior with seven spirit apertures were to meet them, it would be difficult to handle.
"Kill!"
The three disciples of the Royal Dao Sect showed no mercy as they launched simultaneous attacks on Luo Ren.
"Sky Wolf Claws!"
"Backbone Fist!"
"Iron Mountain Palm!"
All three displayed their intermediate-level martial arts techniques from the Royal Dao Sect, delivering powerful attacks that sealed off all directions for Luo Ren, leaving him with no escape.
Even a warrior with seven spirit apertures would find it difficult to flee, and could only withstand their attacks head-on.
With only fists against a quartet of hands, especially when those hands belonged to six people!
Despite facing such a fierce assault, Luo Ren remained calm, his hands once again transforming into grinding discs, resembling the Bagua symbol.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luo Ren performed the perfected Bagua Palm technique to its extreme, embodying an entire Bagua formation, making it difficult for any attack to approach him as they were all skillfully deflected.
After a dozen moves, Luo Ren transformed his palm into a fist, abruptly changing his tactics and swiftly launching three punches that landed heavily on the chests of the three individuals.
Splut! Splut! Splut!
The three men were struck hard by the punches, each spewing out a mouthful of blood and being sent flying backwards in pain, clutching their chests and wailing in agony.
"Bagua Palm?"
Ding Hai witnessed his three companions being knocked down by Luo Ren, his face filled with astonishment.
Moreover, he could recognize the martial technique that Luo Ren had just displayed, the lower-grade defensive martial art skill of Bagua Palm.
How could Bagua Palm possibly block an intermediate-grade offensive martial art technique from the human realm?
Furthermore, these were the perfected intermediate-grade offensive martial art techniques cultivated by the three disciples from the Royal Dao Sect!
Wasn't Qin Yu only supposed to bring out useless people for team formation? How could this guy be so powerful?
