Chapter 218: The Power of One Punch



He had a rough appearance, sparse brows and a solid bare chest. His arms were wrapped around a huge wine jar like a drunkard.

However, as he drew closer to them, he was akin to a mountain walking across the world. He had a contemptuous air around him and even the pouring rain didn’t dare to come near him!

It was Xue Jin.

Ghost Moon and Gray Marten inexplicably felt a chill. An indescribable oppressive aura made them feel like ants looking up at a mighty mountain!

“A true assassin has no emotions.” Xue Jin swept a glance over the two and then sighed, as though he thought of something. “Go. Go and ask your master whether or not he still remembers the blood sunset of the blue mountain.”

Ghost Moon and Gray Marten exchanged a glance with each other, hesitating. In the end, they clenched their teeth and hurried away.

As Xue Jin watched them leave, a smile spread over his face. He raised the wine jar and drank wildly in the downpour.

Bang!

Once he finished the wine, he shattered the jar.

Xue Jin exhaled a breath of turbid air and peered into the distance.

At that moment, he looked terrifying with a fierce glint in his drunken eyes. It was as though lightning vortexes were rotating in them.

Almost at the same time, a faint gasp of surprise sounded in the darkness and a slender figure strode forward. It was nearing Xue Jin in the blink of an eye.

Clad in a black wide-sleeved robe with three tufts of beard under his jaw, the figure had the demeanor of a transcendent being. His aura seemed to be connected with heaven. His gaze was indifferent but even an inadvertent glance seemed to contain chilling power.

“Dare I ask who you are?”

The man had an imposing bearing as he stood hundreds of feet away and cast a glance at Xue Jin.

An invisible force seemed to have sealed off the torrential rain and made it impossible for it to be near a radius of 100 feet of the area!

Xue Jin smiled in a relaxed manner. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that, Yao Tuohai, given your identity, I’m really surprised that you would attack a little junior.”

That sage-like man turned out to be Yao Tuohai!

What would Lin Xun think if he was present?

Yao Tuohai’s face was overcast with a fierce frown and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He was a little surprised because he didn’t know who Xue Jin was but he sensed a terrifying power from his aura.

“Are you here to stop me?” Yao Tuohai asked tentatively.

Xue Jin chuckled. “Do you think you are qualified to do that? Don’t talk nonsense. Tonight’s matter has gone on for too long already. It’s time to put an end to it. If you don’t agree, then you have to ask me first.”

Yao Tuohai narrowed his eyes. “Are you here to protect Lin Xun?”

Xue Jin scratched his head. “I guess so.”

Yao Tuohai’s heart sank. He had never imagined that Lin Xun would have the protection of a strong cultivator who was in no way inferior to a Heaven Ascension cultivator!

Yao Tuohai drew a deep breath and said solemnly, “Since that’s the case, my friend, I’m curious to know whether you can protect that kid.”

As a great cultivator renowned in the Southwestern Province and who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Governor Liu Wujun, Yao Tuohai wouldn’t be frightened by a single sentence.

Xue Jin frowned, seemingly impatient. “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s better to settle it with fists.”

Before he finished his sentence, he strode forward and thrust his fist forward.

Boom!

It was a simple punch, but it seemed to smash through space in a mighty, unstoppable manner.

The surrounding space was visibly being compressed, collapsing inch by inch and producing ear-piercing booms. The entire world paled.

Yao Tuohai’s expression changed slightly. Dazzling rays of azure light rushed out from his body, shooting into the sky. His power instantly soared.

Almost at the same time, he folded his fingers and formed a hand seal. Dazzling azure light swiftly flowed all over his body as he fiercely thrust his hand forward.

At that moment, in the governor\'s office, Liu Wujun, who was concentrating on his cultivation, suddenly snapped open his eyes and shock crossed his face.

In Haze Academy, Principal Wei Lingzhen and Du Dongtu, who was in charge of the Violet Plume Army, both sensed something and immediately paused their game of chess. They simultaneously peered in the same direction.

In Rain Listener House, Rain Listener was sitting cross-legged while playing the piano alone. He fluttered his fingers and played a rackety tune. But he seemed unaware and just stared out the window with a frown.

On this rainy night, Heaven Ascension experts are fighting in Haze City?

The same thought flashed across the minds of Liu Wujun, Wei Lingzhen, Du Dongtu and Rain Listener.

Heaven Ascension cultivators also participated in tonight\'s battle?

However, they couldn’t detect anything when they tried to perceive further. It was as though what they previously felt was just an illusion and nothing had happened.

They couldn’t help but feel bewildered again.

……

At the same time, a deafening boom echoed across the street and terrifyingly glaring light spread throughout the area like a storm.

However, there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking and sealing off the spreading force.

The buildings as a result remained intact.

Otherwise, given the power of that blow, it would have devastated all buildings and living beings within a radius of one hundred miles!

Rumble!

Yao Tuohai stumbled back in the void, his body blazing with an azure glow. It was obvious that he had activated his cultivation to its pinnacle state.

A fist sped through the air towards him, crushing the surrounding space and oppressing everything along the way with an unparalleled terrifying power.

This was the punch that Xue Jin had launched. A simple attack had smashed Yao Tuohai\'s palm strike and made him stagger back from the impact!

Yao Tuohai wasn’t able to completely neutralize the power of the punch!

What made Yao Tuohai tremble was that, after Xue Jin punched out, he still had the power and time to seal the surroundings and stop the power from spreading outwards.

“Who the hell is this guy?”

Yao Tuohai was aghast. He had reached the Heaven Ascension Stage ten years ago. He had thought that only a few people could compete with him in the entire Southwest Province.

Who would have thought that he almost couldn’t withstand a punch from a strange man he encountered that night!

This was enough to prove that the strange man’s cultivation and power were at least one level higher than his!

Rumble—

The fist was simple and ordinary as it slammed out, but it seemed unstoppable and capable of crushing everything.

In the end, the fist slammed Yao Tuohai’s chest and he was violently blasted across the air. He felt like he was being crushed by a divine mountain and couldn\'t stop coughing up blood.

His face blanched with horror and his eyes were wide with shock. He no longer radiated a calm and immortal-like aura. Rather, he looked extremely discomposed.

It was at that moment that Xue Jin grinned and pressed his hands together in the air.

Suddenly, the violent and berserk power that pervaded the world was instantly wiped away. Everything returned to its original appearance. Rain continued to pour down like nothing had happened.

The scene was too unbelievable!

Yao Tuohai blankly watched the changes, his face pale and his expression was changing indefinitely. When he looked at Xue Jin again, his eyes blazed wild with fear.

Who is this person?

The heavens and earth underwent earthshaking change from just a simple punch. It was domineering, tyrannical and crushed all things it touched. In the entire empire, only a few Heaven Ascension cultivators have such an ability!

“I have no intention of interfering in the grudge between you and Lin Xun, but no one can do anything to him in Haze City under my nose.”

Xue Jin left those words before he turned around and strode away. He quickly vanished into the misty rain.

Yao Tuohai was dumbfounded. What does that mean?

Puzzled, he pondered alone in the rain for a long while. In the end, he turned away with an overcast face.

Yao Tuohai didn’t dare to take other actions, as what happened that night was too sudden.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was curled up in the shadow of a building in the depths of a secluded street. He concealed his aura and let the rain batter him like a lifeless rock.

His face was deathly pale and he had exhausted more than half of his power. In particular, a ghastly hole had split the left side of the chest and was inches from tearing his heart!

It was a wound left by Remnant Snow, an assassin from Rain Listener House.

Lin Xun was able to protect himself with the help of the No-Nonsense Bow when he was facing Ghost Moon and Gray Marten. Ghost Moon had to repeatedly dodge his attacks, and taking the opportunity, Lin Xun had located Gray Marten’s hiding spot and fired an arrow to destroy Gray Marten’s sea of qi.

Lin Xun hadn’t expected Remnant Snow to be watching him from the other side all along and to launch an attack at the same time as him. Unable to evade in time, Lin Xun had ended up severely wounded.

Lin Xun had no choice but to retreat. The prolonged battle had already exhausted him and he couldn’t fight anymore in his severely wounded state.

Who would have thought that Remnant Snow would follow him like a ghost? Lin Xun couldn’t shake him off no matter what he did.

His situation was very dangerous. If he continued to flee, he would no doubt be the first one wounded!

Therefore, he unhesitatingly chose to fight back.

He didn’t know who Remnant Snow was, but he knew that he possessed terrifying archery skills, far stronger than Remnant Wind\'s.

An opponent like him was undoubtedly the most difficult and dangerous to deal with.

Fortunately, Lin Xun possessed the No-Nonsense Bow. Moreover, his one-year of training in Blood Kill Camp had allowed him to master assassination and stealth skills.

On the rainy night, Lin Xun and Remnant Snow both silently launched an assassination operation on each other!
