Chapter 263: Famous Cultivation Technique, Feng Biao Appears
Zhou Chen looked indifferently at the young man named Zhang Wei.
[Name: Zhang Wei]
[Fate: Star Saint (Purple), Outstanding Talent (Purple), Deviant Path (Green)]
[Destiny: Quasi-Emperor cultivation. Due to an urgent desire to increase his strength, he took forbidden drugs prematurely, overdrawing his potential, and eventually stopped at the Emperor Realm Second Layer.]
[Recent Opportunity]: None
Pah, he's nothing.
A mere Quasi-Emperor, and one boosted by forbidden drugs at that—how did this kid get so bold?
His skills aren't much, but he's certainly arrogant enough.
Zhou Chen sneered inwardly.
"Zhang Wei, apologize immediately!"
Star Child barked angrily.
"Apologize?"
Zhang Wei sneered. "Master, why not let me test this Fellow Daoist Green Lotus's strength? If he can take three of my moves, I'll apologize. If he can't…"
He looked at Zhou Chen, his eyes full of provocation.
"Then it proves he's not qualified to be our honored guest!"
"You…"
Star Child's face turned ashen with rage.
"No matter."
Zhou Chen suddenly spoke, a faint smile on his face. "Since this Saint Zhang wishes to spar, this Junior will simply accompany him."
"Fellow Daoist Green Lotus…"
Star Child felt a bit conflicted.
"Senior, there is no need to worry."
Zhou Chen smiled. "This Junior also wishes to witness the Cultivation Techniques of the Heavenly Star Holy Land."
"Good! Such courage!"
Zhang Wei laughed loudly. "To the Martial Arts Field, then!"
Heavenly Star Holy Land, Martial Arts Field.
As the news spread, countless Disciples rushed over to watch.
"I heard the Saint is going to spar with an outsider?"
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know, I think he's called Azure Lotus Sword Venerable."
"Azure Lotus Sword Venerable? I haven't really heard of him."
"Who cares? He definitely won't be able to beat the Saint anyway!"
The Disciples discussed fervently; most of them did not think highly of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was mainly being hunted by the Imperial Clans, and since the Jiang Family and Ying Family were afraid of losing face, they had forcibly suppressed the news. Thus, it was normal that many people were unaware of him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei was the Saint of the Heavenly Star Holy Land and had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm years ago, making him a top-tier existence among the younger generation.
Zhou Chen looked quite ordinary; how could he possibly be Zhang Wei's match?
"Go Saint!"
"The Saint will surely win!"
"Show that outsider the strength of our Heavenly Star Holy Land!"
Cheers rose one after another.
In the center of the Martial Arts Field, Zhang Wei stood at one end and Zhou Chen at the other.
"Fellow Daoist Green Lotus, excuse me!"
Zhang Wei sneered, and a longsword appeared in his hand, radiating brilliant starlight.
It was a Saint-Grade High Grade Spiritual Artifact—the Star Sword!
"Come."
Zhou Chen said indifferently, not even taking out a weapon.
"You're looking for death!"
Zhang Wei was furious. His figure flashed as he slashed out with his longsword.
"Star Sunder!"
Sizzle!
Starlight seemed to burst forth in the Void Realm, condensing into a sword shadow hundreds of feet long. The brilliant sword light tore through the void, blasting straight toward Zhou Chen.
"It seems this kid hasn't been slacking off."
Seeing Zhang Wei's incredibly seasoned attack, which had surprisingly reached the Major Achievement level, Star Child nodded and spoke, a satisfied curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The surrounding Disciples couldn't help but cheer.
However, in the next second, their cheers came to a screeching halt.
The sword light merely touched his finger before instantly shattering, turning into a sky full of starlight.
"What?!"
Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he let out an incredulous cry.
The surrounding Disciples were dumbfounded.
Star Child's smile froze directly on his face.
Zhou Chen simply raised his right hand and pointed out with one finger.
"This… how is this possible?"
"That's the Heavenly Star Saint!"
"Azure Lotus Sword Venerable actually blocked the Saint's attack with a single finger?"
"Who exactly is this person?"
"Too terrifying!"
The sounds of discussion rose everywhere.
"Hmph! Don't get happy too early. That was just a probe!"
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhang Wei's eyes. "Next is my true strength. I hope you'll still be this lucky!"
"Tyrant Star Sunder!"
He shouted loudly, and brilliant starlight erupted from his entire body.
Countless phantom stars emerged around him, each containing terrifying power.
The Star Sword in his hand burst with even more blinding light, its power surging several times over.
"That's the Saint's famous Cultivation Technique!"
"Tyrant Star Sunder! It is said that the Saint once used this move to block a strike from an Emperor Realm Grand Elder!"
"Azure Lotus Sword Venerable is dead for sure this time!"
The Disciples shouted excitedly.
But Zhou Chen's face remained calm; he even let out a yawn.
"Is that it?"
He extended his right hand and pointed out with a finger once more.
This time, a faint black light flickered on his finger.
That was a sliver of the Pluto Seal's power!
Boom!
The finger collided with the sword light, and a massive explosion erupted.
The surrounding Disciples quickly retreated, fearing they would be caught in the aftershocks.
But soon, they saw a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Zhou Chen's finger flicked lightly, and the Star Sword let out a mournful cry as countless cracks appeared on it!
Crack!
In the next second, the Saint-Grade Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact—the Star Sword—shattered completely!
"My sword!"
Zhang Wei cried out. Before he could react, a terrifying force slammed into his chest.
Boom!
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Saint!"
"Senior Brother Zhang!"
The Disciples cried out in alarm.
Star Child was also in disbelief.
One finger!
With just one finger, he had shattered a Saint-Grade High Grade Spiritual Artifact and severely injured Zhang Wei, who was at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm and only one step away from the Emperor Realm!
What kind of terrifying strength was this?
Emperor Realm?
No!
Even if he were in the Emperor Realm, it would be impossible to do this!
"You… who exactly are you?"
Zhang Wei lay on the ground, his eyes filled with terror and indignation.
His Dao Heart had completely shattered.
"There are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. Don't act tough, or you'll get struck by lightning."
Zhou Chen glanced at him and said coldly, "Remember this lesson. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time. After all, there aren't many people with a good temper like mine."
The Martial Arts Field was dead silent.
Everyone stared at Zhou Chen in shock, speechless.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Interesting. Fellow Daoist Green Lotus, how about sparring with me as well?"
Everyone turned their heads to see a black-robed young man walking into the Martial Arts Field.
That young man had a cold aura and sharp eyes, and his entire body radiated a dangerous atmosphere.
"Feng Biao!"
A Disciple cried out in alarm. "It's the Grand Elder's personal Disciple, the Hidden Saint Feng Biao!"
"What? Why did he come out?"
"It's over, something big is going to happen now!"
The Disciples retreated one after another, their eyes filled with fear.
The reason the Hidden Saint was called as such was that Feng Biao, as the Disciple of a Grand Elder, was not in the official Saint sequence.
However, his strength far exceeded that of many Saints, so he was called the Hidden Saint.
Everyone feared him because Feng Biao had once cruelly killed a fellow Disciple during a competition. With a Grand Elder backing him, he naturally faced no consequences.
Thus, Feng Biao's evil reputation was widespread.
"Come then. Since I'm bored anyway, a little more fun isn't bad."
Zhou Chen said indifferently, clearly not taking the person before him to heart.
