"What a joke! A piece of trash like you thinks you can order around?"
The mont the long-faced youth finished speaking, a sword-wielding teen imdiately sneered coldly.
"Exactly! You don’t even take a look at yourself! Everyone here has at least ten or even a hundred tis your talent!"
Another disciple jeered.
Luo Cheng swept his gaze over them.
In total, six people had stepped forward.
Among them, including Cai Yuan, three were Martial Artists at the Third Layer of the Transcendence Realm, while the other three, though weaker, had all reached the Second Layer of the Transcendence Realm.
Luo Cheng licked his lips and stared at the six of them, saying, "Aren’t you afraid of violating the Sect Rules?"
Heh, heh!
The long-faced, sword-wielding youth nad Cai Yuan snickered coldly. "This is a world where the strong reign supre. Who do you think you are? Just a lowly servant disciple—a worthless trash!"
"Xuanyuan Sect has at least a hundred thousand servant disciples! Even if we broke your arms and legs, at most we’d get a few days of confinent. Do you really think anyone would care about you?"
The long-faced youth stepped closer, his grin savage as he continued.
"Hand over the Jade Token if you know what’s good for you! Otherwise, you won’t be getting out of bed tomorrow!"
"Heh, a world where the strong reign supre? Well said. In that case, punishing you for defying your superiors wouldn’t be out of line either," Luo Cheng replied coldly.
The long-faced youth’s eyes widened in rage. "What did you say?!"
"Today, I’ll use you as examples to set my authority!"
Before the words finished echoing, Luo Cheng’s figure shot forward, his fist smashing directly toward the long-faced youth.
Bang!
The imnse force compressed the air, producing a low sonic boom.
"Not good!"
The long-faced youth’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly threw a punch to counter.
Their fists collided.
"Ah!"
The long-faced youth let out a chilling scream. His body flew backward like a sandbag, blood gushing from his mouth. His entire right arm hung limply to the side, its bones utterly shattered!
The crowd stood stunned. No one had expected Luo Cheng to be so audacious, daring to strike first in such a situation.
His eyes swept over the remaining five like a sharp blade. "Speak! Who put you up to this?"
First Li Hui, and now these people—it was too blatant to be a coincidence. Soone had to be orchestrating this!
But was it Lin Hankong? Or Qin Yuanfeng?
Cai Yuan’s pupils constricted as he shouted angrily, "Everyone, attack! Take him down!"
"Attack!"
The five drew their weapons and charged at Luo Cheng together.
Luo Cheng’s lips twitched faintly as his hand rested on the hilt of the teor Sword.
"Heavenly Fall Second Form—Cloud Stabilization!"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Ah! Ah! Argh...!"
The crowd only saw a blur before the five who charged Cai Yuan resembled tattered sandbags, flying through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust!
When Luo Cheng had first broken through to the Third Layer of the Transcendence Realm, his strength was already equivalent to nine oxen and two tigers—nearly fifteen thousand pounds of force, comparable to a Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of the Transcendence Realm!
Now, with further progress in the True Dragon Technique, his power had only grown stronger. Cai Yuan and his group were clearly no match for him!
"Anyone else dissatisfied? Step forward!"
Luo Cheng’s gaze bore into the surrounding crowd.
The scene fell deathly silent.
Everyone was utterly terrified by what they had just witnessed.
So of the more timid among them didn’t even dare et Luo Cheng’s gaze, their bodies trembling.
A single strike!
Just one move!
Five powerful Transcendence Realm fighters had been utterly defeated!
No one had expected Luo Cheng to be this formidable, nor did they anticipate his cruelty and utter lack of rcy.
Luo Cheng strode over to Cai Yuan and stepped on his injured hand, his eyes cold. "So, how does it feel to be trampled under a piece of trash? Speak! Who put you up to this?"
"Argh! Trash, you’re courting death!"
Despite the agonizing pain, Cai Yuan continued to glare at Luo Cheng, spitting out threats through gritted teeth.
"Oh, really?"
Luo Cheng sneered and stomped down again. With a sickening crack, Cai Yuan’s right hand was almost completely deford as fresh blood splattered.
"Argh! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"
Cai Yuan, thoroughly cowed by Luo Cheng’s ruthless thods, quickly caved.
"It was those Outer Disciples who appeared at yesterday’s entry examination! They each gave us ten Essence Energy Pills and promised to help us enter the Outer Sect. They told us to take special ’care’ of you and ensure that the next two years of your life would be a living hell!"
"Lin Hankong!"
Luo Cheng’s brow furrowed.
He had known they wouldn’t let the matter rest, but he hadn’t expected them to act so quickly!
Li Hui’s constant targeting of him was probably part of the sa sche!
"It seems I’ll need to beco an Outer Disciple as soon as possible!"
Danger lood large in Luo Cheng’s mind.
Had his strength been lacking, he would have been utterly crushed this ti!
While Lin Hankong was not worth fearing, the Core Disciple Jin Min who stood behind him was no small figure to contend with.
Not to ntion Qin Douyuan—Luo Cheng had already learned that he was Qin Yuanfeng’s uncle!
Cai Yuan wasn’t wrong—servant disciples in the Xuanyuan Sect were essentially nobodies. Even if they ended up crippled or dead, no one would care!
Only by becoming an Outer Disciple would the Sect begin to value him, forcing these people to hesitate before making a move!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng looked at the six still lying on the ground. "Hand over all the Essence Energy Pills you’re carrying."
"Luo Cheng, you—you’re pushing this too far!"
One of them tried to protest indignantly.
Luo Cheng turned his gaze to him, smiling coldly. "What’s that? Would you rather I ’personally’ teach you a lesson?"
At this, the person’s face turned pale. He had just witnessed Luo Cheng’s thods and dared not oppose him further, eventually handing over his Essence Energy Pills through gritted teeth.
The others dared not resist either, surrendering their Essence Energy Pills one by one with hearts bleeding in frustration.
They had suffered a huge loss this ti.
The ten Essence Energy Pills they had initially hoped to gain were gone, along with what they’d already had in reserve!
Between the ten given at entry and the three issued upon joining the Sect, each of the six had carried at least thirteen Essence Energy Pills, amounting to nearly eighty total.
Luo Cheng happily collected the pills, finally satisfied.
Considering that even a single Essence Energy Pill was valued at ten thousand taels, this haul of eighty represented a substantial fortune!
He needed to advance to the Third Stage of the Tongxuan Realm as soon as possible, and cultivation resources were essential for that.
At that mont, Zhang Lian returned.
Seeing the six sprawled on the ground, Zhang Lian asked curiously, "What’s going on here?"
"Senior Brother Zhang Lian, it’s Luo Cheng! He’s gone completely wild, disregarding the Sect’s rules! He attacked us unprovoked and stole our Essence Energy Pills! Please, Senior Brother, uphold justice for us!"
Covered in blood, Cai Yuan spoke tearfully to Zhang Lian as though he’d found his savior.
The other five hurriedly chid in to agree.
Zhang Lian glanced at the six of them, his gaze flickering slightly. Despite their decent strength, they had all been defeated by just one man.
"Luo Cheng, is this true?" Zhang Lian asked, turning to him.
Luo Cheng had already prepared his response. Raising the Jade Token in his hand, he replied calmly, "They tried to seize my Token and gang up on , violating the Sect’s rules and disrespecting their superiors. As part of my duty as a patroller, I couldn’t just stand idly by, so I taught them a small lesson. Everyone here can vouch for what happened."
The rest of the crowd remained silent.
Cai Yuan and his group were backed by Outer Disciples that no one dared to provoke.
But Luo Cheng now lood like a harbinger of death in their eyes, and no one wanted to offend him either.
Zhang Lian deliberated for a mont before waving his hand. "Take them away to heal their injuries."
"Senior Brother Zhang Lian, you can’t just listen to his one-sided story!" Cai Yuan tried to argue further.
Zhang Lian’s expression darkened. "What? Are you saying I can’t distinguish right from wrong?"
