Chapter 171: The Hanged Man! Child of Heaven Kneels!
Jiang Wencheng struck fiercely, and the subordinates—who followed him—all showed excited smiles.
In their opinion, although this kid in front of them was quite weird, he was only a Stage Four player after all. Even if he was stronger than them, there should still be a limit to his strength, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to resist a Star-rank powerhouse’s attack!
Link’s hair was sent flying when the palm wind hit, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of panic on his face. His eyes were still as plain as water, without the slightest ripple.
Facing those unusually calm eyes, Jiang Wencheng felt an inexplicable chill...
Could it be that this person still has a trump card left? His thoughts flashed past, but Jiang Wencheng added a bit more strength to his palm instead, intent on killing Link with this attack!
Only amus.e.m.e.nt was left in Link’s heart at this moment.
The other party didn’t even use his domain, which was truly being overconfident when in front of him. Link wasn’t an ordinary Stage Four powerhouse.
I really am being underestimated? Link instantly triggered [Pseudo?Hanged Man]’s skill.
[Hanged Man?Upright] activated!
Link could use a medium (the target’s hair, blood, etc.) to complete the ritual. After that, he could transfer the damage he suffered to the target!
As for the medium... Link had already obtained it, which was Jiang Wencheng’s hair!
Knowing that Jiang Wencheng and the others were going to harm them, Link had naturally prepared himself.
On the way, Zhu Changfeng took the opportunity to influence Link and the others. At the same time, Link also obtained a strand of hair from Zhu Changfeng and Jiang Wencheng without leaving a trace.
Of course, Link didn’t bother to collect mediums of their subordinates.
Stage Four players—who could be crushed to death at will—weren’t worth his attention. Only Stage Five Star-rank powerhouses could be worthy of entering Link’s eyes.
A sonic boom sounded, but Link didn’t move at all. In Zhu Changfeng and the others’ eyes, it seemed like Link had become dumb from shock.
But the sight of an exploding head—which they had antic.i.p.ated—didn’t appear. Instead, it was the aggressive Jiang Wencheng whose face instantly turned red. It then turned into a crimson-purple!
As if someone had hit him hard on the top of his head, Jiang Wencheng’s flowing black hair exploded. His eyes suddenly turned black, and his figure plummeted onto the ground!
After all, Jiang Wencheng was an heir of ancient martial arts. Fighting had become muscle memory to him, so his body instinctively started to transfer the attack’s energy away.
Boom!
The ground under his feet was directly crushed by him, and he ended up kneeling on the ground. He smashed onto the ground heavily, almost falling down entirely!
The power of this palm really wasn’t little, but it was a pity that Jiang Wencheng shot himself in the foot!
Jiang Wencheng spat out blood and saw gold stars in front of him!
Lucky for him, he was already quite powerful, and he had been on alert at all times to guard against Link’s possible counter-attack. Therefore, he was able to resist in time, transferring the attack’s energy away as best he could.
If not, his palm attack might’ve pressed his own head into his chest!
Even so, Jiang Wencheng was still heavily injured. His brain was like a paste; Jiang Wencheng felt like he was about to fall unconscious!
And the other people watching the battle were even more bewildered—all of them were stunned!
They didn’t even see Link make a move; they only saw Jiang Wencheng strike with his palm, and then...
Then, Jiang Wencheng himself kneeled!
Zhu Changfeng and the others almost cursed. This really is too weird, isn’t it?
What the h.e.l.l?!
It’s fine if he attacked as he wished, but why did he kneel down? Did he suddenly realize that they are family or something?
The crucial point was—this kid is so young! It’s impossible for him to have a child as old as Jiang Wencheng!
Zhu Changfeng even had a faint suspicion that Jiang Wencheng communicated with this kid beforehand. They are just acting in front of me now, right?
But at this moment, Jiang Wencheng’s mouthful of blood and chaotic breath couldn’t be faked.
Everyone could only accept the facts in front of them.
At this instant, their eyes—which were looking at Link—changed.
If it could be said that they were surprised Link could resist the mental shock just now, then it could now be said that they were faintly fearful of Link!
After all, his method of attack was really incredible!
Standing behind Link, Luo Haoyue had a thoughtful look as she spoke with emotion. “Lord Envoy, this is the so-called ‘defeating others without fighting,’ right?”
After being transformed into the G.o.d of Evil’s heir, Luo Haoyue had lost many memories.
In order for her to integrate into human society as soon as possible—or to prevent her from causing harm to the people in Unfallen City at least—Link asked her to read more books.
Right now, it could be regarded as Luo Haoyue applying what she had learned.
Upon hearing Luo Haoyue’s words, Zhu Changfeng and the others felt more and more complicated emotions...
What the h.e.l.l? Is the phrase ‘defeating people without fighting’ referring to a situation like this?
As for Jiang Wencheng—who was kneeling on the ground and barely maintaining his sanity—his heart almost stopped functioning upon hearing this. He also almost spewed out a big mouthful of blood again!
Link ignored Zhu Changfeng and his group’s crazily changing faces, and he just stepped on Jiang Wencheng’s chest.
Jiang Wencheng—who was already on his knees—was directly pushed onto the ground under his feet. He could no longer restrain the blood surging inside his body and spewed out a large mouthful of blood. He then directly pa.s.sed out and entered a coma.
Link didn’t continue to act against Jiang Wencheng, who had completely lost his combat effectiveness. It wasn’t that he took pity on Jiang Wencheng, but rather, Link still had use for him.
Jiang Wencheng could now be considered a bargaining chip in his hand.
Link slowly raised the sword’s tip and pointed it at Zhu Changfeng.
Zhu Changfeng instantly trembled, almost throwing out the staff in his hand.
He was still preparing a magic technique just now, intending to unexpectedly throw it out when Jiang Wencheng and Link were fighting.
But who would have thought that the battle would end so soon; his spellcasting immediately stopped...
Looking at the indifferent young man, Zhu Changfeng felt a little fearful in his heart. After all, the opponent’s ability was really weird. Even after this battle, he didn’t obtain any useful information.
He was really afraid that the kid would also give him that weird defeat without actually fighting.
Zhu Changfeng’s throat squirmed, and he swallowed with difficulty. However, he still pretended to be calm and said, “You must not be arrogant, young man! You have already attracted public anger, and the three major forces definitely will not let you off!”
“Really?” Link smiled indifferently and said, “Stop pretending; you have already urgently contacted the other Stage Five powerhouses in the camp, right?”
Zhu Changfeng’s complexion suddenly stiffened.
Indeed, after discovering that the young man in front of him might pose a huge threat, he had reached inside his shirt and smashed the communication talisman in his pocket.
Evil Sect’s hidden powerhouses would come soon.
In fact, Zhu Changfeng believed that, other than Evil Sect, the Star-rank powerhouses of Ancient Martial Alliance and Martial G.o.d Hall would be unable to sit still as well!
And this was the result that Link wanted.
The three major forces’ members here were one of his goals in the first place!
Zhu Changfeng said, “That’s right! The three major forces’ elites are gathered here. Just talking about Stage Five powerhouses, there are at least five or six of them here. You guys definitely won’t be able to escape!”
“If you are smart enough, you’d better be obedient and let yourself be caught so that you won’t need to suffer later!”
At this time, a series of powerful auras suddenly rose up from the camp!
Those Stage Five powerhouses—who were originally hidden or previously hadn’t paid attention to the situation here—all moved!
