Chapter 107: The Power of One Punch!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bang!

After the third punch, Xu Ning felt a sudden tingling sensation in his wrist.

That burst of strength when he threw out this punch had already begun to put some strain on his body.

That was because the power of this punch was double of the previous punch!

This was four times the damage that Xu Ning could put out prior to learning Tidal Fist.

‘Are all void realm secret techniques this insane?’

This was only the first level of Tidal Fist, and he hadn’t experienced a “characteristic” change yet.

‘If I throw out a fourth punch, the power of the punch will be twice as powerful as the third punch!’

However, after thinking about this, Xu Ning didn’t plan to try again.

If the third punch already made him uncomfortable, then the fourth punch would definitely injure him.

‘This is what Hall Master Han said previously, mortal realm martial artists will stress themselves when using void realm secret techniques.’

Xu Ning had just personally experienced this.

‘A mortal realm martial artist will never be able to fully utilize void realm secret techniques. When executing it, their level and power will be severely limited.’

Xu Ning thought, ‘For the first three punches of Tidal Fist, I can use them against my enemies, but the fourth punch can only be used as a trump card in a crisis situation, otherwise the price I have to pay will be too great.’

‘Even then, this Tidal Fist is so powerful. I can continuously double the strength of my punches.’

Xu Ning massaged his wrists. ‘I just don’t know what the upper limit of this power stacking is. But for now, the only limiting factor is my body strength. The stronger my body, the stronger my punch will be. If my body is too weak, the power of Tidal Fist will be limited.’

‘If I advance to the spirit realm, or even to the void realm, then Tidal Fist will create even more terrifying effects.’

‘The 100 units of energy spent is worth it!’

Xu Ning smiled.

The usage of these 100 units was extremely cost-effective in Xu Ning’s opinion.

It did not only increase his immediate combat power, but it also allowed Xu Ning to have an extra trump card if he was in trouble in the future.

If Xu Ning even had an inkling of worry about tomorrow, that inkling of worry was now completely gone.

Unless the opponent was a void realm martial artist, no one could ever kill him.

And void realm martial artists would never participate in this kind of low-level dispute.

‘If the opponent wants to ambush me tomorrow, they must send some top notch martial artists.’

‘If all goes well, I can destroy the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and the top brass of another force. After finishing them off, I can take their plates. I will definitely get a share of the loot.’

Xu Ning’s thirst for wealth had gradually increased.

This was the confidence brought to Xu Ning from the improvement in his strength.

‘We’ll see what happens tomorrow.’

When Xu Ning looked at the bright moon outside the window, he felt a lot of anticipation in his heart.

…

The next day.

Sunrise.

Xu Ning and Du Che met in front of the martial arts hall.

After seeing Xu Ning arriving on time, Du Che was both nervous and excited.

At this point, he didn’t care whether Xu Ning saw through him or not.

He only hoped that he could successfully bring Xu Ning out of the city.

In Du Che’s opinion, no matter what Xu Ning’s plan was, as long as he left the city, everything would be fine.

No matter how strong Xu Ning was, he was just a young warrior who had just broken through to the intention realm.

Xie Ninghe and his helpers could easily deal with Xu Ning.

By then, not only would he get the other half of the Blood Idea Dan and be promoted to the state mind realm, he could also get his hands on Han Yue.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu.”

Du Che first saluted Xu Ning, then said, “Thank you so much for this.”

Du Che didn’t know whether Xu Ning believed his words or not.

“It’s okay.”

Xu Ning did not seem dissatisfied, instead he actively urged Du Che. “Let’s go to the city gates and join up with the caravan. Otherwise, we will delay the trip and make them wait for us.”

“Yes.”

This was exactly what Du Che wanted to hear.

The two set off and quickly went towards the gates of the canton city.

It was still a little dark. As they walked on the road, except for the few breakfast stalls on the street, no other pedestrians were seen.

Du Che walked next to Xu Ning. He wanted to arrive at the city gates safely and quickly.

Du Che felt that this was the longest road he had ever walked.

Soon, the two finally reached the gates of the city.

Looking at the city gates, Du Che felt that his plan was almost complete.

“Where is the caravan?”

Xu Ning checked near the city gate, but he did not see a caravan, so he turned his head and asked Du Che.

“They are waiting outside the city.”

Du Che’s answer was true.

There was a caravan, and they were indeed waiting outside the city.

However, the caravan was not a real caravan. It was a disguise made by the instructors of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.

“Then let’s get out of the city.”

Xu Ning and Du Che quickly passed through the city gate.

As soon as they left the city, they saw a caravan waiting in the distance.

They didn’t need to deliver a lot of goods, so they only brought along two carts. The number of people in the escort team was less than ten, while the rest of them belonged to the caravan.

After stepping out of the gates and seeing the caravan, Du Che finally relaxed.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu, they are there, let’s go over.”

Du Che seemed to have regained his confidence in his words.

“Everyone, apologies for being late.”

Du Che took the initiative to walk forward and greeted the leader among them with cupped fists, he then introduced: “This is Deputy Hall Master Xu, he is responsible for escorting us.”

“Let’s go.”

The leader didn’t seem to care about Du Che’s feelings.

He glanced at Xu Ning before ordering the team to leave.

There were no spare horses in the carriage, so Xu Ning and Du Che couldn’t ride the horses. They just sat on a roofless carriage in the back of the caravan.

Xu Ning, who had just gotten into the carriage, suddenly smiled.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu, what are you smiling at?”

This time, Du Che asked Xu Ning with a smile.

Du Che was no longer afraid of Xu Ning now.

Because he knew that in the carriage ahead, Xie Ninghe and the others had already taken the Breath Dans and were waiting to assassinate Xu Ning.

After they travel ten miles away, Xu Ning would be unable to escape back to the city, even after discovering their plan.

“Nothing…”

Xu Ning also smiled.

Du Che looked at him and felt uncomfortable.

But after affirming that Xu Ning had fallen into his trap, Du Che felt comfortable again.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

The sound of horse trotting echoed in regular intervals outside the city.

“Stop, stop!”

After traveling a few miles away, Xu Ning suddenly stood up on the open-air carriage.

Xu Ning’s gaze swept over everyone in the caravan.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu, what are you…”

Du Che was very alert. He immediately got out of the carriage first and distanced himself from Xu Ning.

“I’m sure the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall has done escort missions in the past.”

Xu Ning turned towards the caravan, as if speaking to the people in the carriage. “If you want to call yourselves a caravan, you should at least be more serious in your act? All of you staring at me nervously, do you really think I won’t notice?”

After Du Che heard this, he ran to the carriage in front of him.

‘Sure enough, Xu Ning saw through our plan!’

As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, the carriage in front suddenly burst open, wooden boards scattered everywhere.

Three people jumped out of the carriage, all staring at Xu Ning with a smile.

“Xu Ning my friend, you’re so courageous!”

Xie Ninghe, who had half-gray hair, arched his hand at Xu Ning with a smile on his face.

This gesture of his didn’t seem like he was about to ambush Xu Ning.

“Kid, how did you find out about us hiding in the carriage? We all took Breath Dans.”

This time, it was a little old man who was speaking, his face full of wrinkles with a hideous scar.

This person was the top brass of another force that was against the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xue Chuntong, the owner of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall.

In addition to Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong, there was one other person who seemed to be less than 40 years old, with a murderous look on his face.

If Han Huxiao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person. This person was the intention realm warrior who ambushed Han Huxiao previously.

‘So they used Breath Dans.’

After hearing Xue Chuntong’s question, Xu Ning understood how Du Che had concealed his malicious intent in the past.

“Nice to meet you all.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

The two sides did not look like enemies.

“Breath Dans are good, but you have to restrain yourselves.”

Xu Ning smiled and said, “Although you all have taken Breath Dans, you kept peeping at me from the carriage.”

Xue Chuntong laughed. “I really underestimated you. I thought since you have just advanced, you wouldn’t be able to detect us. It seems that we were too arrogant.”

“Xu Ning, since we are here, you must know what is going to happen.”

Xue Chuntong took two steps forward. “Originally, we wanted to kill you instantly, but since I now have a good impression of you, why don’t you leave the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall together with us. I will even give you a share of the spoils!”

As soon as Xue Chuntong said this, Du Che panicked.

If Xu Ning really changed his mind, then Du Che would be in great trouble.

Xu Ning would inevitably take revenge against him.

“Who are you?”

Xu Ning did not answer the question immediately, but instead asked another question.

He had only recently come to Chun Rin Canton, and he didn’t know a lot of people.

“I am Xue Chuntong from the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall.”

Xue Chuntong did not conceal his identity.

After that, Xie Ninghe also introduced himself. “Xie Ninghe from the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.”

The third person besides the two did not speak. He was only here as a hired killer.

“So two seniors from the city.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists again.

He finally figured out who was behind the scenes.

“How about it, do you accept my proposal to leave the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and join us?”

Xue Chuntong asked again.

Xu Ning smiled. “Senior Xue, I also have a proposal.”

“Oh?”

Xue Chuntong’s eyes narrowed. “Speak.”

“I think you two are also very kind. Why don’t you give up 50% of the shares of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall as compensation to our Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. Then, I’ll spare your lives.”

Xu Ning’s tone was very gentle.

But after Xue Chuntong and the others heard this, they all thought there was something wrong with their ears.

“Xu Ning, do you think we old men are not worthy of being your opponent?”

Xue Chuntong’s smile slowly faded, and his tone became somber.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning grinned.

“It seems that you don’t intend to accept my proposal. Nevermind, there is no need to talk.”

Xu Ning glanced at the three of them. “Just three intention realm warriors, that’s it?!”

Xu Ning suddenly moved, even facing three warriors of the same realm, he took the initiative to attack.

“Courageous!”

Xue Chuntong stood at the forefront and saw Xu Ning taking the initiative. He faced him straight, without any intention to hide. “You’re too naive. I will teach you a lesson today, that not all intention realm warriors are the same!”

Xu Ning ignored Xue Chuntong’s words.

Internal qi began to surge in his body.

Xu Ning aimed his punch towards Xue Chuntong.

This was Tidal Fist Punch One.

‘This strength!’

When the punch came towards him, Xue Chuntong suddenly felt an enormous strength.

He quickly reached out his arms in an attempt to block the punch.

Bang!

The fist hit Xue Chuntong.

Immediately after, Xue Chuntong felt a spiral force traveling through his arm and drilling directly into his body.

“Sh*t! He is not a recently advanced intention realm warrior! He’s at the peak of the intention realm!”

A stream of blood began to flow from the corner of Xue Chuntong’s mouth.

When Xu Ning’s punch landed on him, he discovered Xu Ning’s true strength.

‘The peak of the intention realm?!’

Xie Ninghe and the mercenary warrior’s expressions changed. After that, they immediately tried to help out their teammate.

But they were still too slow, as Xu Ning had already thrown out Tidal Fist Punch Two.

This punch was twice as powerful as the first punch!

This time, Xue Chuntong, who was hit again, began to vomit blood.

Panic appeared in his eyes.

‘This strength is beyond the intention realm!’

Xue Chuntong felt severe pain in his internal organs. He knew very well that he was already seriously injured.

“Help me!”

Xue Chuntong had lost the demeanor of an experienced elder, and he shamelessly called for help.

Xie Ninghe and the mercenary warrior stepped forward instantly, trying to stop Xu Ning.

But Xu Ning’s third punch was ready.

This punch should have hit Xue Chuntong’s body, but the mercenary warrior blocked the punch with his own body.

Without batting an eye, Xu Ning kept attacking.

Bang!

Punch Three!

This was four times the power of the first punch.

The hired warrior took Xu Ning’s third punch.

In an instant, his chest began to collapse and his bones began to crack in his body.

The mercenary warrior spat out a mouthful of blood. He even spat out pieces of his liver.

“How is this possible?!”

Xie Ninghe was right next to the mercenary warrior. He could feel the terrifying aura in that punch, and he could also feel the vitality of the mercenary warrior next to him rapidly dissipating.

Soon after, the mercenary warrior just fell to the ground and went quiet.
