Chapter 318: One Punch to Establish Authority

When Luo Yuebai said this, even Su Jingzhen was slightly stunned.Is it that ruthless?

He muttered to himself.

But immediately, a smile spread across his face as he looked at Zhou Longyun in front of him.

“Brother Zhou wouldn’t be afraid of this, would he? If so, it would be a shame for him to hold the title of Golden Core cultivator.”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s provocation was quite low-level, but extremely effective.

Since he had received Luo Yuebai’s signal, Zhou Longyun’s aura suddenly became more intense.

Su Jingzhen was so arrogant today, and dared to give orders to their Linjiang branch, he had long wanted to teach Su Jingzhen a lesson.

Zhou Longyun immediately took two steps forward.

His aura directly locked onto Su Jingzhen.

“If that’s the case, then does Master Su dare to fight outside the palace?

This place is too narrow, and it’s only suitable for a Foundation Establishment stage fight. At the Golden Core stage, we can’t even use our full strength.”

Zhou Longyun’s words were slightly mocking Su Jingzhen’s abilities.

After all, Su Jingzhen had previously fought with Feng Mingyan’s subordinate in this very place.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the council hall.

Su Jingzhen followed him slowly.

Behind them, many other Golden Core cultivators, including Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng, also walked out of the hall.

Zhou Longyun and Su Jingzhen took their positions.

Zhou Longyun’s mid-Golden Core aura, to be precise, his Golden Core fifth-stage aura, was directly released.

His aura firmly locked onto Su Jingzhen.

At this moment, he looked at Su Jingzhen with a hint of disdain: “Master Su is the Chief Acolyte of the Linjiang Branch and enjoy the privileges of a Vice Sect Master.

So my fighting with you is an act of insubordination.

I, Zhou, dare not make the first move. Master Su, please go first.”

When he heard this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curved into a smile again: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Zhou Longyun nodded again: “Please!”

Su Jingzhen nodded, not bothering to argue further.

The six Secret Repositories within him suddenly surged to life.

In the next instant, Su Jingzhen’s feet stomped the ground fiercely. His body directly charged towards Zhou Longyun, and the distance between them was only about seven or eight meters.

Although he didn’t use the “Bloodthirst” technique and couldn’t immediately execute the Phantom Step, his speed was already far beyond that of someone at the same level!

This time, he didn’t use the black brick.

As he rushed towards Zhou Longyun, he threw a punch, directly striking the other’s chest.

His right hand’s Labor Palace acupoint erupted.

The power of this punch was not something a ordinary Golden Core cultivator could withstand.

Zhou Longyun’s expression changed drastically.

In his subconscious, he had always thought that Su Jingzhen was only a Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.

Even if he could compare to a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, in Zhou Longyun’s eyes, he was still just a weakling.

Even if he let a Body Cultivation expert like Su Jingzhen get close, Zhou Longyun thought he wouldn’t be a match for him.

But Su Jingzhen’s explosive power made him suddenly realize his mistake.

And it was a huge mistake.

He knew very well what the consequences would be if a Flesh Body Golden Embryo’s Body cultivator got close to him.

But it was too late to try to create distance now.

He could only watch as Su Jingzhen’s iron fist enlarged in his vision, and then struck his chest.

In the next instant, Zhou Longyun felt a surge of violent and extremely powerful energy coming from his chest.

Then his body was sent flying backward, unable to resist.

The power within him was instantly disrupted.

A mouthful of old blood spurted out from his chest, splashing into the air.

It was just one round, no, it should be said that it was a one-sided beating. Seaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

One punch was enough to defeat a mid-Golden Core cultivator like Zhou Longyun.

With a loud thud, Zhou Longyun’s body crashed onto the stone floor outside the council hall.

The floor was even broken into two pieces.

He was gasping for breath, struggling to get up, but couldn’t.

His eyes were filled with shock, his mouth constantly letting out cries of pain, as if he wanted to say something, but only fresh blood came out.

At this time, many of the surrounding Golden Core cultivators hadn’t even reacted to what had happened, and the fight was already over.

“Is the fight already over?”

“I was just stunned for a moment and didn’t see what happened.”

“Flesh Body Golden Embryo, and it’s probably above the third stage. Comparable to a mid-Golden Core cultivator!

This… back when he killed Huayang Sect’s Vice Sect Master Cao Qing, the power he displayed was only at the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo level.

Could it be that Master Su has been hiding his true strength all along?”

“What’s his limit, anyway?”

“…”

Many Golden Core cultivators were muttering to themselves, especially those at the mid-Golden Core and early Golden Core stages, who were now looking at Su Jingzhen with a changed gaze.

There was an added sense of reverence.

Zhou Longyun’s strength was considered mid-level among all Golden Core cultivators in the Linjiang Sect, but he couldn’t even withstand Su Jingzhen’s one punch. The others, who were not at the late Golden Core stage, would likely suffer the same fate.

In fact, most of them would be even more helpless.

“It seems that Brother Zhou is not qualified to point fingers at Master Su’s plans.”

When he heard this, Zhou Longyun, who was still lying on the ground and unable to move, looked puzzled.

Although he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t refute it either.

Only Zhou Longyun, who had personally received Su Jingzhen’s punch, knew how terrifying Su’s strength was.

He even felt that Su Jingzhen had spared his life earlier.

Otherwise, that one punch could have been even stronger.

Or, Su Jingzhen could have directly used the black brick, which would have taken his life.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze shifted from Zhou Longyun to the other Golden Core cultivators around him.

“Perhaps, many of you still have a lot of opinions about me. No problem, you can come one by one. Of course, if you want to come together, I will accept.”

As he said this, Su Jingzhen’s tone was calm, but it was filled with unmatched arrogance.

His words had just fallen when the storage ring on his hand flashed with a faint light, and the black brick was directly in his hand.

His battle intent suddenly surged up.

However, as soon as he spoke, all the Golden Core cultivators present fell silent.

The early and mid-Golden Core cultivators naturally didn’t dare to take action.

Although Su Jingzhen had an advantage in his previous fight with Zhou Longyun, they didn’t believe that Zhou Longyun was completely unprepared.

And most importantly, who knew that Su Jingzhen had already gone all out?

It’s only been less than a month since the Huayang Sect was destroyed, and yet he’s already jumped from the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo to the Flesh Body Golden Embryo in such a short time.

They, of course, wouldn’t think this was a natural breakthrough.

Deep down, they were convinced that Su Jingzhen had been hiding his true strength all along.

But who knew that the energy level he had just burst out with was already his limit?

Several late-stage Golden Core cultivators remained silent, their faces expressionless.

They couldn’t help but reevaluate Su Jingzhen in their minds.

Their previous ridicule and disdain were all taken back.

A sense of reverence rose in everyone’s hearts.

Seeing the Golden Core cultivators fall silent, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled up into a smile once again.

He said, “Everyone’s not saying a word, so does that mean you all agree with my previous proposals?

If you do, then I’ll start assigning responsibilities to the heads of each department.

From today, from this moment on, we’ll begin implementing the rules I mentioned earlier!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a late-stage Golden Core old man in black frowned and said,

“Su Jingzhen’s strength is indeed beyond our expectations, and it’s a joy for our Evil Moon Sect’s Jiang branch.

At such a young age, Su Jingzhen has achieved such strength, earning our respect, and we won’t question his position or the treatment he receives.

However, we still can’t agree with the proposals you made earlier.

We, as cultivators…”

The old man hadn’t even finished speaking when Su Jingzhen’s smile remained warm and gentle, but his foot took a swift and fierce step forward, directly charging towards the old man with a brick in hand.

The immense aura of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo locked onto him.

They acknowledged his strength, but not his plan.

That meant they still hadn’t been subdued.
