C418 You're the Fool!

Woo Zhengyang had been through countless battles and faced a variety of enemies. He had even managed to cut off the arm of a Martial King expert and trap them in formations, but he had never encountered anyone as brazen as this.

The two were meeting for the first time, with no prior grievances, yet this man attacked without a word!

The man flying on his sword moved swiftly. With his energy unable to be used, Woo Zhengyang had no time to dodge and could only raise his arms to block.

"Thud..."

The man's foot slammed into Woo Zhengyang's arms with tremendous force.

Woo Zhengyang felt as if his arms had been struck by a massive hammer. The casual kick from the man carried the weight of thousands of pounds...

Without any suspense, Woo Zhengyang's body was sent flying backward, his sleeves shredded, leaving his arms a bloody mess, except for his hands, which were protected by the Profound Heavy Gathering Silk Gloves.

"Boom..."

His body finally came to a stop against the trunk of a banana tree at the entrance of Great Leaf Village.

"Sorry, I was flying too fast and had to use your body to stop, but... you're pretty useless. The villagers from a small place like this really are no match!" the man said with a chuckle.

Although he started with an apology, his tone and demeanor showed no hint of regret. By the end, he didn't even bother to hide his disdain.

A sudden fight left Woo Zhengyang bewildered. However, with the enemy being so audacious, there was no way a person like Zhengyang would back down.

The Flesh Condensing Technique worked its magic, quickly healing the torn wound on Woo Zhengyang's arm. After a few breaths, he launched into the Floating Light Step, clenching his fists as he charged toward the man.

"Oh, still not giving up? Interesting! I'll keep at it until you do!" The young man was initially taken aback when he saw Woo Zhengyang charging again but then sneered.

"Stop!"

"Mr. Zhengyang..."

The voices of Sun Li and Rice rang out simultaneously. The commotion had already caught the attention of the villagers of Great Leaf Village, and everyone came out to see what was happening.

As they gathered behind Woo Zhengyang, they saw his anger boiling over, ready to strike again. They quickly shouted for him to stop. In the eyes of the villagers, Woo Zhengyang was on the same level as Rice and couldn't possibly be a match for the young man.

Hearing the voices from behind, Woo Zhengyang hesitated. Although he didn't know the young man's identity, it seemed he was there for the sake of Great Leaf Village. Regardless, the village had been kind to him, and if it involved them, Woo Zhengyang thought it wouldn't hurt to take a step back.

"You think you can just stop because they said so? Too late!" The young man sneered as he saw Woo Zhengyang actually pause.

As they spoke, the man sheathed his sword and advanced toward Woo Zhengyang with swift steps. Hearing the man's words and recalling his arrogant tone earlier, Woo Zhengyang was certain that, even if the man was there for Great Leaf Village, their relationship wasn't cordial.

Now that the man showed no intention of backing down, Woo Zhengyang couldn't retreat either and charged toward him. However, someone moved even faster than Woo Zhengyang, taking a few large strides to stand in front of him—it was Sun Li. Sun Li, being at the peak of the Skin Stage, naturally had greater speed than Woo Zhengyang.

"Get out of the way!" the man shouted, showing no sign of stopping.

"Let's talk this out..." Sun Li said, bowing slightly.

"You want me to talk? Who do you think you are!"

By this time, the man was just a few yards away from Sun Li, his fist, enveloped in energy, aimed directly at Sun Li's face. It was clear that Sun Li was somewhat wary of the young man; even as the fist came at him, Sun Li merely activated his Body Protecting Astral Qi, raising his hands defensively without striking back.

"Boom..."

The two forces collided, and Sun Li's protective energy was noticeably weaker. He was pushed back two steps before regaining his stance.

"The first time I've seen someone from a small village dare to disrespect me. This kid must die today!" After forcing Sun Li back, the man looked mockingly at Woo Zhengyang, raising his fist to strike again.

"Retreat!" Sun Li shouted, trying to shield Woo Zhengyang once more.

There was still some distance between Woo Zhengyang and the man. If Woo Zhengyang stepped back, Sun Li could easily protect him again. However, Woo Zhengyang stood his ground.

The reputation of being arrogant was something many had imposed on Woo Zhengyang, and he neither confirmed nor denied it. But one thing was certain: his martial spirit was unyielding. Being bullied like this, there was no way Woo Zhengyang would back down!

"Zhengyang!"

"Zhengyang, don't be reckless..."

"Hey... Woo Zhengyang, you're no match for him!"

The voices of Rice and the people from Great Leaf Village echoed from behind. Even those like Dahu, who usually looked down on Woo Zhengyang, sounded extremely anxious.

The man clearly didn't consider Woo Zhengyang a threat, as he didn't even use his full strength. Even so, his punch was something Woo Zhengyang couldn't withstand.

The man's skill level was on par with Sun Li's, at the peak of the Skin Stage. That earlier kick was casual, without any real force behind it. Even so, with his natural strength and the boost from his Sword Manipulating Flight Technique, the kick packed a force of about 20,000 pounds.

If he had used his full strength, even without unleashing his Body Protecting Astral Qi, the attack could have reached 40,000 to 60,000 pounds. At 20,000 pounds, Woo Zhengyang's arm was already torn, and he was sent flying. At 40,000 to 60,000 pounds, even if he survived, he'd be crippled! Although the villagers had only known Woo Zhengyang for a few days, their kind hearts couldn't bear to see him meet a tragic end.

But it was too late to say anything now. Woo Zhengyang had already moved forward, and even if Sun Li rushed over with all his might, he couldn't stop him.

In the blink of an eye, Woo Zhengyang was face-to-face with the man. At such a close distance, not even an expert at the Inner Stage could save Woo Zhengyang.

"Idiot!" The disdain on the man's face deepened.

"You're the idiot!" Woo Zhengyang shot back, unleashing the Perfection Stage of the Tyrannical Mountain Shattering Fist.

"Boom..."

The sound of the punch echoed.

Some villagers couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes, while others clenched their fists. Rice was already in tears.

A figure flew through the air, but it was the young man who was sent flying.

Everyone was stunned by this sight!

Wasn't Woo Zhengyang supposed to be on the same level as Rice? And wasn't that young man supposed to be on par with Sun Li? In terms of actual combat strength, he was even supposed to be a bit stronger than Sun Li.

So why, when they clashed, was the young man the one sent flying...

"Ah..."

The man let out a strange cry as he finally steadied himself. One of his eyes was black and blue, clearly from Woo Zhengyang's punch.

While everyone was still trying to figure out what had happened, Woo Zhengyang charged at the man again.

"Boom..."

The other eye of the man was also bruised...
