Chapter 547: Fist Intent Beyond Imagination

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao knew about punches. His expertise was in magic weapons and fists. When he saw Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fist coming for him, he was ecstatic. However, his instinct also told him that something was amiss. His hunch was proven right when he used the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword to test the waters.

Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fists had demolished the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

Was this the fist power of a Lord of Heaven?

No, the wonder of this punch was because of the word ‘change’.

Yes, change. Zhou Bao’s Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was undefeatable. It demolished everything in its way. Its intrinsic killing intent could annihilate anything and everything, but it was not very versatile.

Until now, he could only evolve the Sword Qi into sword storm, expand the area of attack and the force of it.

However, the two punches from Senior Grand Tutor Hong were extremely variable. On the surface, it had seemed like they met with Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi. The reality was that the fists had smashed the space. There were innumerable tiny time and space lapses around his fists. The tutor had destroyed a countless number of them with just a swing of his fist. These spaces were not visible, but on contact with the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi, thousands of years and miles were traversed in what seemed like a short moment in the present world. How could it not be weakened? How could it not collapse from the punch?

Perhaps the collapsed Sword Qi had not disappeared completely but sank into the space around his fist.

Because of the immense power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, it was able to stop Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fist momentarily. Other skills might not have been able to do the same.

Both of them were well-versed in fists and punches. Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s attack had startled Zhou Bao. The incoming punch had small time spaces that overlapped with each other, and came at Zhou Bao’s face like an all-sucking black hole.

Zhou Bao squinted and lifted his chest.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The area surrounding his body had already been broken into pieces by the constrained space. As the punch drew near, Zhou Bao moved. He did not dodge, but welcomed Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fist with his fists instead.

A punch for a punch!

“Good fella, you’re daring!” Yu Taixu who was sitting in the east and watching, saw Zhou Bao strike with his fist. His eyes flashed and he almost jumped up to applaud.

Zhou Bao was brave to fight Hon Taihe’s fist head-on although his cultivation was only at Level Nine. Not many people would have dared to do the same.

Yu Taixu was not aware that Zhou Bao’s cultivation was not at Level Nine but Mysterious Realm. While Yu was lost in admiration for Zhou, a gush of strong energy from Zhou Bao caused his expression to become eccentric.

Vast, ethereal, endless, unfathomable, endless variation!

An unbelievable aura came from Zhou Bao as he struck with his fist. The strange aura enveloped him and it seemed as if there were endless time spaces vibrating and distorting. On a closer look, Zhou Bao’s surrounding spaces had not changed at all. That was just an illusion from the Qi Power, that led one to feel palpitations and shock.

This was fist intent!

An extremely vast fist intent!

Yu Taixu was a Genuine Immortal of the peak of Lord of Heaven. He was very close to stepping into the realm of Human Immortal. This kind of cultivation, power and thought was as unchanging as a thousand-year-old glacier. It was impossible to move and melt.

He would have been able to face a fist intent and assess the situation for what it was. However, Zhou Bao’s fist intent made him feel lost and confused!

“What is this fist intent?!”

He could not stop himself from rising from his chair. He stared at the scene, as if he wanted to figure out something from Zhou Bao’s punch.

As Zhou Bao threw the punch, the people sitting in the east had all stood up like Yu Taixu. Those who were already standing waited with bated breath and hammering hearts.

They did not have powers like Yu Taixu to follow their heart and see through the situation. All they could see was Zhou Bao’s fist intent, a very unpredictable fist intent.

At this moment, Zhou Bao was emotionless. He struck with both his fists. Both Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill were unleashed. That pair of fists was so clean, pure and complete, as if they were art pieces being carved out by a master. They looked as if they were meant to be protected.

Boom!

Four fists met each other almost at the same time!

A strange sound rang in the air and the space surrounding his fists disappeared suddenly. Zhao Bao’s body was sent backwards, as if he was hit by a big truck. Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fists were untouched, but the surrounding layers of space were as if stopped by a powerful force and shattered to pieces. That fist that had surfaced from a hollow also started to crack. Soon after, the skin and pores of the fist exploded and golden blood spurted everywhere.

“Immortal, good, good fight!” Yu Taixu could no longer contain his praise.

He had to do so. Zhou Bao’s punch had not crushed the vacuum but it showed some sense of immortality.

This was a respectable state!

What was considered immortal?

Ignoring time and space, from birth till death, from beginning to end, neverending…that’s immortal!

These two punches by Zhou Bao crushed the space surrounding Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s fists. In the layered space, from beginning to end, the power was still the same. No matter how much time passed or how far the distance was, the punch was still the same, this was what immortality was like.

“Hiss!”

Zhou Bao took a deep breath as he was thrown back. He had used all his energy in the punch, and was still feeling grateful. However, he had not been lucky enough to land a critical hit.

Otherwise, he would not have been forced back. Then again, this was already enough. He had suffered a blow from Senior Grand Tutor Hong, but his combat capability was still intact.

Senior Grand Tutor Hong’s punches were very unpredictable but the strength was constant, similar to the amount used for Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill combined. The only concern had been the variability of the punches. This ceased to be an issue now that his punches could give immortal effects.

As for the consumption of his Real Essence Dharma power, the nine Dantians in his body were preserving this huge force of Real Essence Dharma power. However, he had his Dharma Power-restoring Skill, which meant that no matter how much he consumed, he could replenish them in no time. Hence, there was no need to worry about Real Essence Dharma power at all.

Hence, when he was sent backwards, Zhou Bao was happy instead of alarmed. After suffering from the hit, Senior Grand Tutor Hong finally revealed his location. The vibration from the powerful punch would make even Lords of Heaven expose themselves. Using his superhero spiritual mind, Zhou Bao found out where he was hiding. He dared not delay any further. He stopped his body from moving backwards, opened Three Realms Division and disappeared in mid-air.

“Senior Grand Tutor Hong, stop hiding, come out!”

As his body disappeared, Zhou Bao could be heard gloating. He appeared in an area to the west of Turtle Back Mountain. With a punch, he destroyed the surrounding space. A dark hollow was exposed, into which a big shadow flashed and disappeared.

“Now that you’re caught, you’re still trying to run, you’re too naive!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly. He completely cast out the Three Realms Division and reappeared in the hollow, both his fists already in action.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Each punch led to the destruction of a space. The body of Senior Grand Tutor Hong was seen escaping in broken pieces. No matter what, he could not escape Zhou Bao’s spiritual mind.

“I’m telling you not to hide anymore, you’re still hiding, damn it. You’re a Lord of Heaven, the Family Head of the Hong Family, and a Senior Grand Tutor of Li dynasty. But yet you are such a coward and only dare to make sneaky attacks in the dark. Are you afraid of having a face-off with me?!” Zhou Bao shouted loudly, “You can’t hide anymore, even with your hollow travel skills, you can’t run away from me!”

“Kid you’re going overboard!” A roar was heard from the hollow. Following that, Senior Grand Tutor Hong no longer dodged Zhou Bao’s punch. Instead, he fought him head-on. His body reappeared in the air, no longer hiding.

“Haha, good timing~!” Seeing his body appear, Zhou Bao laughed heartily. This was the effect he wanted.

“Good fella, this Hong Taihe is indeed one from Lord of Heaven Realm. Shit, he is so shameless, using a puppet to replace his body for so many years. He also told others that he did not breakthrough Mysterious Realm, what a cunning fella!” Looking at Senior Grand Tutor Hong reappear and the waves of layers of space, those watching, including Child-endowing Buddha, were gritted their teeth. Their facial muscles were beyond their control. They really wanted to rush up to Hong Taihe and give him a few tight slaps. This guy really had no conscience.

“Hmm, Yu Taihe, Yu Taihe, things have already become like this, let me see how qualified you are to fight with me. This time, you will lose even your underwear!”

Yu Taixu gently stroked his mustache and smiled confidently. He no longer had to worry. Although he had lost an illegitimate son and the Golden Throne, Hong Taihe and Senior Grand Tutor Hong were no longer concerns, regardless of who became Human Emperor eventually.

In the fighting ring, Senior Grand Tutor Hong and Zhou Bao were inseparable. But it seemed like Zhou Bao of Level Nine had a slight advantage.

Senior Grand Tutor Hong was powerful. With a cultivation of Lord of Heaven Realm, he had perfectly mastered the space of Self-world. Unfortunately, he had ended up facing off with Zhou Bao the maniac. His fists, force and punch had been cultivated to the level of immortality. Self-world was nothing. Zhou Bao could hurt his body easily and there was nothing Senior Grand Tutor Hong could do about it.
