C322 Zhan Bugui!(1)

The battle between Woo Zhengyang and Moh Lunhui was far from the thrilling spectacle everyone anticipated. Many couldn't even grasp the danger within it. Yet, the impact of this fight was unmatched by any previous ones.

From the moment they entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, Moh Lunhui, who had been unstoppable even against eight prodigies, was the favorite. But he lost—to Woo Zhengyang, who had been seemingly unremarkable and unnoticed. Even the finger that had claimed countless prodigies was broken by Zhengyang, shattering the myth of his invincibility.

What shocked everyone even more was Moh Lunhui's sudden change in demeanor. Despite his formidable presence and use of the illusion array from the path of slaughter, he lacked the courage to face Zhengyang again and fled.

This left many disappointed. They had hoped for Moh Lunhui to unleash even stronger techniques and engage in an epic battle with Zhengyang, perhaps even a contest of arrays. Instead, they were left with this unexpected outcome.

After this fight, the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association suddenly lost its allure. Woo Zhengyang stayed with Qian Banruo to heal, and even if someone spotted the two red marks, they dared not approach. Meanwhile, Moh Lunhui, once a relentless force, sat cross-legged in a dense forest, no longer venturing out. Anyone who approached saw the notorious figure and quickly retreated.

Moh Lunhui's actions were a bit strange. His injuries were both serious and not so serious. They weren't serious in the sense that, aside from being unable to use his right hand for the "Reincarnation Finger," his combat abilities weren't significantly affected—unless that was his only attack method and he could only use his right hand.

The serious part was that his finger had been snapped off by Woo Zhengyang and tossed aside. No matter how much he tried to heal, without a high-grade elixir, there was no chance of regenerating the severed finger.

So, when people saw Moh Lunhui sitting in the dense forest without leaving, they were puzzled. Was he really just a paper tiger, and one that could only attack with one paw at that?

With the two formidable fighters at a standstill, the spectators naturally lost their focus. Moreover, because of these two, many other noteworthy individuals went unnoticed.

Lau Piaopiao from Cloud Fluttering Sect, Shi Guanyu from Peace Mountain Sect, and Simon Buyue from Chaos Blade Sect all fell at the hands of Moh Lunhui. Yelv Qingyin from Sound Demon Sect was defeated by Woo Zhengyang and exited the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The four young talents who had the best chance of making it into the top ten of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association were no longer in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

As for the original four great talents, Moro Changhe from the Fallen Sun Country's Heavenly Martial Academy had long perished in the country's calamity. Yuhua Die from Dongjue Country's Heavenly Martial Academy was severely injured by a single strike from Moh Lunhui and was sent out of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Qian Banruo from Peace Mountain Country's Heavenly Martial Academy was being protected and healed by Woo Zhengyang. The only one left worth watching was Zhan Bugui from Cloud Fluttering Country's Heavenly Martial Academy.

Zhan Bugui, true to his name, is quite the warrior. However, his battles are far from honorable. Ever since he entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, or even when his reputation first emerged, he has never engaged in a fair fight. It's always an ambush, nothing but ambushes.

To his credit, Zhan Bugui has mastered the art of surprise attacks. Regardless of whether his opponent is strong or weak, he always strikes with full force. If he succeeds, great; if not, he retreats without hesitation.

Such tactics have undeniably brought Zhan Bugui considerable success, yet his battles lack excitement. They're less thrilling than those of lesser-known fighters, leaving spectators feeling a bit let down.

Because of this, Zhan Bugui's name has two interpretations. The first, popular when people were unfamiliar with his fighting style, is: "Zhan Bugui, fight until you can't return!" The second, more reflective of his true style and widely accepted in recent years, is: "Zhan Bugui, fight, fail, retreat..."

The tedious anticipation dragged on for a full day and night. On the third day of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, just as everyone was about to nod off, excitement finally sparked.

The ultimate showdown venue of the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association had opened!

At this moment, there were still fifty-six Heavenly Martial Seeds left in the Heavenly Martial Realm. Over three days, the number had dwindled from one hundred sixty-four to fifty-six, with one hundred eight eliminated—double the usual count.

Among these 108 individuals, over thirty met their end directly, a number that has multiplied several times compared to previous years. And this was before the final showdown. All of this, of course, was caused by the deadly Moh Lunhui.
