Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 158: Chapter 144: Easy Suppression_1

Feng Zhi stood over ten feet tall and was extraordinarily burly, his skin a dark bronze. His muscles bulged notably, and his mere presence exerted an intense oppressive force.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open as he glared at Gu Chen, issuing a challenge.

Seeing this, Autumn Snow nervously clutched Gu Chen's sleeve.

On the flower boat where Feng Zhi was standing, there was a coquettish-looking woman, dressed provocatively, who was clinging onto Feng Zhi's arm, smiling teasingly as she watched Autumn Snow by Gu Chen's side.

This woman was also the top courtesan of the Pavilion of Flowers, known as Red Jade.

Last year at the Pavilion of Flowers, she ranked fourth, firmly surpassed by Autumn Snow. Over the past year, Red Jade had been scheming to overtake Autumn Snow at the Banquet of Flowers.

It was precisely for this reason that, upon learning Feng Zhi was a top disciple of the Shen Martial Sect, she seduced him by every means necessary, all for today.

At this moment, seeing Feng Zhi challenge Gu Chen, Red Jade felt an intense excitement.

Gu Chen's eyes shifted slightly as he looked at Feng Zhi and said, "You want to challenge me?"

"Indeed, Gu Chen, do you dare to fight me!"

Feng Zhi was full of confidence, for he had reached the third layer of the Vajra Stage, Body Like a Savage Dragon, with physical strength surpassing two hundred thousand catties. He did not fear Gu Chen.

In terms of cultivation, he had reached the complete Vajra Stage and had already begun to condense Gangqi.

Although Feng Zhi had heard of Gu Chen's reputation in Xu'an County, he clearly thought it was all fabricated, either promoted by Jing Tian Department to boost Gu Chen's fame or simply an exaggeration spread among the common people, its authenticity questionable.

Gu Chen, dressed in black, was calm and said indifferently, "You're not worthy."

Gu Chen genuinely felt this; from the bottom of his heart, he considered Feng Zhi, or even Xue Jun for that matter, too weak to spark any interest in him.

But this statement, when heard by Feng Zhi, darkened his face, as he felt Gu Chen was deliberately insulting him.

After all, he was three years older than Gu Chen, and both in terms of realm and physical cultivation, he should have been able to crush Gu Chen. And now, Gu Chen had the audacity to say he was unworthy?

"Arrogant!"

Unable to contain his temper, Feng Zhi leapt forcefully, propelling himself high into the air, landing on the flower boat where Gu Chen was and swung his palm down directly at him.

Autumn Snow turned pale as she witnessed this, Feng Zhi's descending palm was like a mountain plummeting from above, suffocating her, seeming to turn the air around her into a vacuum.

Xue Jun, watching from a distance, was slightly taken aback by Feng Zhi's move. Even he felt pressured and would have to exert his full strength to withstand it. He wondered how Gu Chen would respond.

Buzz!

Gu Chen stood in his place, his eyes slightly lifted, his robes flowing. A tinge of golden light radiated from him, tinting his hair a faint golden hue, illuminating the surroundings.

Bang!

Gu Chen raised his arm and struck, colliding with Feng Zhi's descending palm, causing the flower boat to shake violently, with ripples spreading across the lake.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Gu Chen had caught his palm, Feng Zhi's expression did not change. After landing, his muscles twisted like coiled dragons, he threw a furious punch at Gu Chen.

"Suppressing Mountain Fist!"

Feng Zhi roared, using a high-grade martial skill from the Shen Martial Sect. He had mastered the Suppressing Mountain Fist to perfection, condensing its martial intent. His punch carried the force of a bearing mountain, pouring out immense power.

With this punch, air swept aside, forming a barrage of white waves rushing towards Gu Chen and the courtesan, Autumn Snow, by his side.

Startled, Autumn Snow's face drained of color, terror reaching an extreme.

But at that moment, Gu Chen pulled Autumn Snow behind him and stood in front. It was a subtle move, yet Autumn Snow suddenly felt the overwhelming pressure dissipate into nothingness; behind Gu Chen, she felt an unsurpassed sense of safety.

In that moment, Gu Chen became her sole reliance between heaven and earth. She looked at his silhouette, her eyes misty and tender, as if to melt everything within.

As Feng Zhi's punch imbued with martial intent viciously approached, Gu Chen's form was dignified, his golden radiance intensified, and under its glow, amidst the pitch-black night, he appeared like a transcendent Buddha.

Boom!

Gu Chen clenched his five fingers, forming a fist seal as if a Vajra descended to vanquish demons. A heavy pressure loomed over everyone's hearts, Gu Chen emanated an awe-inspiring grandeur, and behind him emerged a wrathful Vajra phantom.

It was evident to the discerning observer that Gu Chen's martial intent far surpassed Feng Zhi's, the two not even on the same level.

"Pfft!"

With just one punch, Gu Chen unleashed the Great Vajra Fist, and Feng Zhi was instantly defeated, left wide open. His bones made a rattling sound similar to crackling beans as he was sent flying, coughing up blood uncontrollably.

Witnessing this scene, Xue Jun was shocked, his gaze at Gu Chen filled with disbelief.

Just one punch had defeated Feng Zhi, who possessed a Body Like a Savage Dragon and a complete Vajra Stage cultivation? Was this truly Gu Chen's strength? How could it be so terrifying?

At this moment, Xue Jun's mind was filled with questions.

At the same time, the people on the surrounding flower boats also witnessed the scene, their looks towards Gu Chen filled with wariness.
