Almighty Genius

Chapter 2403 - 1897: Countershock!

Second update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

Seeing a conflict erupt here, it instantly became lively, and people from other sects also flocked over... Although the Five Sects Competition hasn't truly started, various competitions have already begun.

Such conflicts, on one hand, may lead to unexpected incidents between the parties, potentially affecting subsequent matches... On the other hand, they offer a chance to assess the opponent's strength in advance through the conflict!

The more formidable the opponent, the more attention they garner...

For instance, Jiali Cuo from the Esoteric Sect is one of their exceptionally powerful experts... Though his cultivation hasn't reached the Great Grandmaster Level, he's already quite formidable, and if he goes all out, there's a chance to defeat a Great Grandmaster-level Expert.

As for Qin Fang...

There are really too few people who know him; aside from the Kunlun Disciples, only Monk Wukong from Shaolin is most familiar with him, and Ye Xiang of Tianwai Tower has heard of Qin Fang from his sister, Ye Xuan!

These two, compared to the two or three hundred people from the other four great sects, are truly insignificant.

The current Qin Fang is really unknown within the Five Great Sects...

However, many have heard that Qin Fang is actually a second-generation disciple of the Kunlun Sect, and their eyes flicker with amazement, many with a thoughtful expression... Just at this moment, seeing Jiali Cuo make a move against Qin Fang immediately attracts considerable attention.

"Mi Sect Great Palm Imprint..."

As soon as Jiali Cuo makes a move, someone immediately sees the intricacy of this strike, recognizing it as one of the Esoteric Sect's ultimate techniques, the Big Hand Seal... It's an immensely powerful palm technique, even more terrifying than Shaolin's Great Strength Vajra Palm and Stone Breaking Hand.

"Jiali Cuo is striking with deadly intent..."

"This guy named Qin is in big trouble..."

Many who saw Jiali Cuo's strike couldn't help but sweat for Qin Fang, especially those competitors who even put themselves in Qin Fang's place, pondering whether they could withstand Jiali Cuo's Big Hand Seal from the Esoteric Sect.

But it's very clear that Jiali Cuo's power is extremely terrifying, and now he's striking with full force; unless a Great Grandmaster-level expert can withstand it, any expert at the same level can only temporarily evade its sharp edge... Moreover, Jiali Cuo's movement technique is quite intricate; whether one can avoid it is truly a significant problem!

"I think not necessarily..."

"The young Qin is a second-generation disciple of Kunlun, possibly a closed-door disciple of Kunlun's old monsters, so he likely isn't that simple..."

However, some believe Qin Fang might not suffer losses, unable to resist such speculation.

Although not entirely accurate, it's quite close...

As for those old monsters people mentioned, they're simply elders within the sect who no longer concern themselves with worldly matters, some of whom have already secluded themselves, waiting for death... But one thing is certain, these old monsters are almost all exceptionally powerful top experts, with not a few at the Supreme Realm.

It can be said that these old monsters are indeed the true foundation of the Five Great Sects...

Unless facing a crisis of annihilation, these old monsters will remain in the sect, secluded, waiting for death!

But when a true sect crisis arises, they will unleash unimaginably terrifying power... It's even possible for more than ten Paramount Experts to strike together with overwhelming force!

The reason why the Five Great Sects can occupy such a terrifying position in the Martial World is closely associated with this foundation.

Although these old monsters have formidable power and generally do not concern themselves with worldly matters, there are instances where they might plan to pass on their mantle by accepting a closed-door disciple... Such closed-door disciples must undoubtedly be extraordinarily talented prodigies, who, once revealed, will absolutely defy the heavens!

For example, the Jian Qingfeng whom Qin Fang is quite familiar with is one such example...

His master was also a Supreme Realm Powerhouse of the Kunlun Sect, although he has already passed away, his status was quite high, allowing him to obtain certain secret techniques unknown to others, such as the secret technique of absorbing elemental energy, which he acquired from his master.

The Kunlun Sect having disciples like this, naturally other sects do as well...

Now seeing the Kunlun Sect has a young second-generation disciple like Qin Fang, it's only natural some might consider this angle!

The collision between Qin Fang and Jiali Cuo is imminent, and the spectators' attitudes are divided into two camps, with all eagerly anticipating... Only the Kunlun Sect disciples appear relatively relaxed, even with faint smiles at the corners of their mouths.

"Hmph..."

Jiali Cuo's strike is exceptionally ruthless; although he doesn't intend to claim Qin Fang's life, he certainly plans to severely injure him... The Mi Sect Great Palm Imprint is indeed an ultimate technique of the Esoteric Sect, and now with full force, his malicious intent is glaringly evident.

"As a monk, your intentions are so poisonous... it seems you cannot be spared!"

At this moment, Qin Fang too felt a bit angered, uttering quietly, as he instantly raised his palm to face the enemy!

"Courting death..."

Jiali Cuo indeed had murderous intent, and to prevent Qin Fang's evasion, he had already planned several variations of palm techniques... However, to his surprise, Qin Fang did not choose to dodge but to confront his Mi Sect Great Palm Imprint head-on, which made Jiali Cuo delighted, although the sense of murder was overflowing!

Along with a loud shout, Jiali Cuo's palm energy instantly increased significantly, from seventy percent strength directly to ninety percent... almost indistinguishable from going all out!

The fluctuation of the palm energy suddenly made the surrounding air seem to stagnate, and the air faintly emitted some cracking sounds, showing how violent this palm strike was... The faces of some experts standing beside Qin Fang slightly changed, immediately resonating protective Gang Qi to avoid being affected by the collision's shockwave!

"Hmph..."

Feeling the murderous intent of Jiali Cuo, Qin Fang merely sneered, and his palm energy was instantly enhanced a bit! Then, with quite a ferocious force, he furiously smashed towards Jiali Cuo's Mi Sect Great Palm Imprint.

Boom~~~

The two palms collided fiercely, producing a muffled sound, and the surrounding air erupted in a series of violent roars. At the same time, a surge of violent airwaves began at the point of contact in their palms, fiercely spreading towards both sides!

Bang bang bang~~~

Such a shockwave was quite terrifying, brutally hitting the protective Gang Qi of those Great Grandmaster-level experts, also producing a successive series of crisp sounds, almost shattering their protective Gang Qi, forcing several Great Grandmaster-level experts to step back far.

In contrast, Qin Fang and Jiali Cuo were standing steadily there, their two palms imprinted together, seemingly not retreating from such an impact...

"Unexpected, your strength is quite good..."

Jiali Cuo was quite surprised, his palm energy had already reached ninety percent, and he was executing the Mi Sect's formidable Big Hand Seal... Yet, he didn't gain the slightest advantage in this head-on collision.

Of course, even though Qin Fang blocked his attack, he himself wasn't damaged, making him unable to resist expressing admiration for Qin Fang!

In this Martial World, moral rules can regulate some people's behavior, but ultimately the strong hold sway; whoever has the bigger fist, they have the reason!

Jiali Cuo is stronger than Cui Xiu, so he can easily bully Cui Xiu...

And since Qin Fang's strength is not inferior to Jiali Cuo, naturally Jiali Cuo must show him sufficient respect...

"You're overly complacent about yourself..."

But at this moment, Qin Fang smiled slightly, a mocking smile, then said quite disdainfully.

"Hmm?"

Jiali Cuo was slightly startled, looking at Qin Fang very surprisingly, seemingly not quite understanding his meaning.

However, soon he sensed something was wrong...

Crack crack crack~~~

Just at this time, his palm suddenly emitted such a crisp sound... More precisely, it's a successive series of sounds, almost in the short span of a few seconds, resounding at least five, six, seven, or eight times!

"Ah..."

Moreover, shockingly, along with such a crisp sound, the previously self-satisfied Jiali Cuo's face drastically changed, and he involuntarily emitted this cry...

And at this moment, the onlookers only noticed that Jiali Cuo's arm was now bizarrely twisted, forming a very uncoordinated shape... It looked as if it was forcibly broken into several parts!

Of course, it wasn't actually broken by someone...

"Hiss~~~"

Everyone looked at Qin Fang with shocked expressions, involuntarily drawing a sharp breath.

They saw the entire exchange between Qin Fang and Jiali Cuo... Many even broke a sweat for Qin Fang.

It wasn't until Qin Fang bore Jiali Cuo's Mi Sect Great Palm Imprint without retreating a step that many people breathed a sigh of relief, starting to view Qin Fang differently... At least with such cultivation, in this Five Sect Competition, he definitely counts as a formidable expert, and securing a slot in the Mystic Realm entry is practically reserved!

Yet, what they never expected was... Qin Fang turned out to be even more formidable than they imagined!

Jiali Cuo's arm wasn't broken by force but shattered by Qin Fang's ferocious palm energy... This isn't just a simple matter of strength; it's undoubtedly that Qin Fang's strength exceeds Jiali Cuo's by several levels, to achieve such an effect.

Because Qin Fang not only had to withstand Jiali Cuo's full-force blow but also counter-shock the opponent with even more violent power... and yet did it quite subtly; the opponent was already struck yet remained arrogantly boasting - that truly is a frightening aspect!
