Chapter 292 - The Emperor and the Talent of All Times

“Tianming!”

“Chihiro!”

All the onlookers were terrified. They reached out their hands and tried to support them. Just then, a golden hand appeared and carried the two.

“Are you OK?” Zhao Feige stepped forward and asked.

“Relax, Ying Zheng knew what he was doing. If he intended to kill us, none of us could have survived up to now.”

“They’re just some wounds. We’ll heal ourselves soon. I was trying harder because that’s the only way I could counter the strikes.”

“Their primordial spirits will be fine. They were merely affected by my sword intent.”

Ying Zheng said slowly. He took Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro to Chu He because he could tell that the young man was a healer. Ying Zheng wanted to see how quickly Chu He could heal.

“Woo!”

Chu He played a beautiful melody with his flute. Tao principles emerged in the air and surrounded the unconscious couple, to take care of their ghastly wounds.

Those large wounds seemed to be made by a terrifying claw. They were so deep that the bones had been exposed.

That strike nearly took out their guts. Fortunately, Ying Zheng had restrained his attack, or they would have been cut into pieces.

“Ugh!”

Moments later, just as Ying Zheng intended, Chu He cured and awakened the two.

“Thank you for having mercy on us!”

“We’ll always remember that!”

As soon as Feng Tianming and Chihiro woke up, they thanked Ying Zheng for his instruction.

“If you really want to thank me, put my words into action. You should learn from the wounds; discover your disadvantages and correct your mistakes!” said Ying Zheng as he scolded them.

“You’re right.”

Feng Tianming and Chihiro bowed their heads. The others were still confused. They tried to figure out what mistakes they had made during the fight just then.

“You still don’t know it yet?”

Wang Bugui looked at those people with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Seeing the confused faces of his friends, he nodded and said, “Their mistakes were simple but critical.”

“Firstly, Tianming should combine his sword with swordsman Taoism. His sword potential disappeared just then, but he didn’t rebuild it in time; instead, he rushed to Ying Zheng without thinking.

“His Sword Core wasn’t stable yet. He wanted to be fast, but at the same time, he dedicated himself to killing. You should be focused when wielding a sword, or you would shave off the minuscule chance to defeat your enemy.

“Secondly, to cooperate with Tianming, Chihiro performed as the assassin. She charged at my face just now and gave up the best way to assist Feng Tianming.

“She moved before she found my weak point, but her swordsmanship was typically a “momentary slash.” How could she slash Ying Zheng momentarily without knowing his weak point?”

His question went straight to the point. Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro lowered her heads and blushed.

Wang Bugui didn’t finish talking yet. He pointed at the two and said, “You’re lucky that he was merciful, or you could’ve been killed. The last thing is your sword power.

“Tianming, why didn’t you instill your sword power into Ying Zheng? And Chihiro, you focused on killing intent and forgot your sword power. You have to make a change!”

Feng Tianming and Chihiro felt deeply ashamed because their mistakes were indeed simple but deadly. Those were usually beginner’s mistakes.

Perhaps they were a little nervous when facing the greatest emperor of all time. No matter how talented they are, they still feared him.

Ying Zhen outshone numerous geniuses in a thousand-year span. He was so powerful that when he ruled the country, nobody dared to go against him.

They would have felt stressed anyway, because apparently they were no match for Ying Zheng at the moment. Although what they faced was just some residue of his primordial spirit, it was more than easy for him to kill them.

“Ying Zheng is so powerful. He didn’t even release his sword power, nor have we seen his sword intent and killing aura. He defeated Tianming and Chihiro so easily!” Yu Wude exclaimed.

Wang Bugui turned around his head and explained it to everyone, “Of course he released his sword power, but he was controlling it in such a subtle way that it was all used to counter Tianming and Chihiro’s swordsmanship. As for his killing aura, it was used at the very early stage, or their killing aura wouldn’t have been suppressed.”

Then Yu Wude frowned and said, “But we didn’t feel his killing aura. We could have sensed it when it was first released.”

Zhao Yun shook his head and noted, “Just look around, and see what the killing aura has done.”

Everyone craned over and were surprised to find that the clouds around them had disappeared completely.

“This…”

Zhao Changge and the others were open-mouthed, in complete silence. All the clouds above Juyongguan were gone. The stars seemed to have darkened a little on the dark sky.

“That’s the real supreme killing aura. It came out and affected heaven and earth. Ying Zheng released it around us so that other people wouldn’t get hurt. But still, the killing aura dispelled the clouds.”

Lyu Bu then sighed. That was the first time he had seen the unmatched killing aura. Exclaiming was the only thing he could do.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, “I dispelled the clouds because that would bring convenience for my next fight, which will also be my last.”

Then he looked at Chu He and said, “As for the one playing the flute, you should stand there and watch. Maybe my Tao principles can inspire you.”

“Thank you for your instruction,” Chu He cupped his hand and replied.

Ying Zheng nodded, then he looked at Wang Bugui.

Wang Bugui stretched his neck and smiled. “It’s my turn, finally! Please have no mercy on me. I can handle it!”

“Well, that depends on you!” Ying Zheng laughed.

“Buzz!”

Wang Bugui covered his body with Endless Golden Body Manifestation. Then he pushed his morale to the limit.

He said as he walked forward, “Please forgive me if I offend you. Be careful!”

He moved using Hell Steps and vanished, leaving an after image on that spot. His real body, however, was standing in front of Ying Zheng and launching a Meteorite Kick.

“Rumble!”

That thunder was louder than the sound of a catastrophe. It was hard to believe that the sound was made by the collision of their bodies.

The rest of the people stepped back to keep a safe distance from the collision. Some of them activated the Divine Eyes, and others used their Tao Law to observe the long-awaited fight.

“Hey, that’s interesting. Ying Zheng was the greatest genius of all time, and Bugui was presented by the Imperial Clan as the greatest genius. I can’t wait to see what will happen next,” said Blood Demon King, with a hand on his jaw.

“Oh? Is that true? I can’t wait to see it,” asked Zhao Yun, who also seemed quite interested.

“The greatest genius and the greatest emperor, those are quite glorious titles,” Lyu Bu exclaimed.

Then he continued, frowning as he supported his jaw with his hand, “But the young man hasn’t reached the Human Emperor realm yet. I don’t think he could be an even match with Ying Zheng as a Greater Power.”

“I doubt that. I believe Bugui can make a miracle again!” Zhao Changge laughed.

“Yes, I think Bugui can do just as well as Ying Zheng,” said Chu He as he nodded.

“Bugui can at least force Ying Zheng to use 80% of his power. Even if he fails, that wouldn’t be embarrassing at all,” Leng Yueyan concluded.

Seeing all those people place so much trust in Wang Bugui, the three heroic spirits looked at each other and smiled. They could imagine how powerful and how many trump cards Wang Bugui still had.

“Break Heaven Fist of Blood Sea!”

They heard a roar coming from behind. Wang Bugui was standing on the bloody waves, punching toward Ying Zheng violently.

“Boom!”

Ying Zheng blocked Bugui’s attack with his bare fists. Their fists collided and brought out an intense spiritual aftershock. Neither of the two fell in the lower hand during the first collision.

Wang Bugui suddenly took back his fist and used his Kick of the Universe. Ying Zheng had been prepared for that. He lifted his legs and blocked the kick.

“Shoosh!”

As Wang Bugui kicked out, he flipped over in the air and once again kicked with his left leg. Ying Zheng crossed his arms before himself and blocked that kick again.

Then his left hand grabbed Bugui’s ankle and pulled him close. Ying Zheng then punched out with his right hand.

“Kaboom!”

Just when his fist was about to land on Wang Bugui, it was interrupted by the Killing Air. Wang Bugui turned aside and activated prana power to get rid of Ying Zheng’s hold.

After Bugui escaped from Ying Zheng’s grip, he avoided Ying Zheng’s leg sweep and pressed the Primordial Palm onto his opponent.

“Crack!”

Ying Zheng’s leg sweep dispelled the Primordial Palm. Then he released the Dragon Qi and pressed forward.

“Extreme Heaven Explosion!”

Wang Bugui shouted loudly and punched continuously. Their fists collided with each other. During a short period, they had attacked each other more than a thousand times.

“Thump!”

In the end, people heard a dull sound. Wang Bugui managed to punch Ying Zheng’s right shoulder. Ying Zheng’s fist connected Wang Bugui’s waist. Both of them were knocked back by their mutual attacks.

“Again!’

They had no hesitation before they adjusted themselves and rushed to each other again.
