C434 To Become Famous!(1)

The purple-robed youth was completely taken aback by Woo Zhengyang's tactics. Little did he know, Zhengyang's mind was far from as calm as it appeared. Zhengyang chose not to wield the No Life Sword, not only to keep some tricks up his sleeve but also to use the power of the Profound Heavy Gathering Silk Gloves to suppress the arrogance of Blue Jewel Village.

Without true energy, the Profound Heavy Power of the gloves would be ineffective, but their formidable defensive strength remained intact. Zhengyang confidently reached out to grasp the sword, forgetting a crucial detail: his opponent was a Body Tempering cultivator at the peak of the Skin Stage, capable of exerting over 10,000 pounds of force.

Under such immense power, Zhengyang did manage to seize the youth's sword but also bore the brunt of a tremendous force. Behind Zhengyang stood Liu Dahu and his group. If Zhengyang were pushed back by the impact, his entire plan would fall apart. Reluctantly, he loosened his grip slightly, allowing the opponent's sword to slowly pass through, leading to the scene that had just unfolded.

Thanks to the strength of the Profound Heavy Gathering Silk Gloves, the blade of the exquisite sword was dulled, merely warming up slightly. Otherwise, Zhengyang would have had to retreat, and instead of quelling Blue Jewel Village's arrogance, his own would have been diminished.

Of course, no one else knew the truth. All they saw was Woo Zhengyang effortlessly destroy a top-tier sword with his bare hand. Instantly, everyone's eyes were on Woo Zhengyang's hand. To break such a sword so easily, either his hand was as powerful as a magical artifact, or he possessed some hidden treasure.

A young prodigy with such power? Impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here. The only explanation was that Woo Zhengyang had a treasure in his hand! Such a treasure must be at least a high-grade artifact, maybe even a top-grade one. It was unusual for such a thing to be in the hands of a young man from Great Leaf Village.

Before anyone could investigate further, the purple-robed youth pulled another sword from his Hidden Heaven Bag and attacked again. This time, he used his strongest technique. The sword in his hand danced and wove a web of light, enveloping Woo Zhengyang.

At the same time, at his signal, five other youths charged at Liu Dahu and his group with weapons drawn. It was clear the purple-robed youth hadn't lost his head to anger. His target was Great Leaf Village, not just Woo Zhengyang. Taking care of Liu Dahu's group first, then dealing with Woo Zhengyang, made sense.

By then, Woo Zhengyang would be alone, while they had a dozen people. No matter how mysterious Woo Zhengyang was, could he withstand their relentless assault?

"Nice idea, but you're overestimating your standing with them!" Woo Zhengyang faced the six from Blue Jewel Village, his expression unchanged, even managing to throw the purple-robed youth's words back at him.

"Arrogant!" the purple-robed youth snapped, quickening his pace. When he was about six feet away from Woo Zhengyang, the youth's sword technique suddenly shifted. The interwoven sword light contracted into a massive hammer shape.

This technique was specially found for him by Ye Fengchun for the Thousand-village Martial Competition. For a Body Tempering cultivator, a sword isn't the most suitable weapon because its characteristics don't fully harness their strength. However, in this world, martial techniques are incredibly rare, while sword skills offer more options. So, many are forced to choose swordsmanship even if they don't want to.

The purple-robed youth's technique was unique, concentrating the sword's power into a single point, doubling its combat effectiveness. In a tournament setting, this technique was perfect for knocking opponents off the stage.

Originally, he planned to reveal this technique only in the final top ten battles. But his initial clash with Woo Zhengyang had been humiliating, and he realized Woo Zhengyang wasn't easy to deal with. If he wasn't careful, their plan to advance Blue Jewel Village's ranking could be disrupted. So, he decided to use the sword skill right away.

However, he was soon stunned once again. The confident strike he had delivered was effortlessly countered by Woo Zhengyang, who casually swung his sword and shattered the hammer-shaped sword energy.

The purple-robed youth's sword technique indeed caught Woo Zhengyang off guard. Zhengyang had studied many sword techniques, but he had never imagined they could be used in such a way. It was clear this technique was designed for body tempering practitioners.

Despite this, Woo Zhengyang wasn't particularly worried. Even if the sword technique was unusual, it didn't matter much. Woo Zhengyang wielded a King Rank weapon and had honed his martial will. In terms of raw strength, he might not match the purple-robed youth, but when it came to martial skills, even two of those youths wouldn't be a match for him.

The purple-robed youth was shaken when his technique was broken, but he didn't lose heart, as five others were also charging forward. Even if you have the upper hand, how can you protect those five? With the strength of Blue Jewel Village, the youths they train are far superior to those from Great Leaf Village, unless everyone in Great Leaf Village is as exceptional as Woo Zhengyang.
