Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 739: One Punch Instant Kill

Shi Hao looked at Zhu Yu and said, "I’m still alive; does that disappoint you? How about we fight? I’ll only use three moves. If you can block them, I’ll kill myself right here! However, if you can’t block my three moves and I kill you on the spot, then you’ll just have to accept your fate."

Damn, you’re really pushing it too far.

Zhu Yu sneered; he knew Shi Hao was a genius. At the Heavenly Palace Academy, he had defeated Shi Ze, becoming the number one at Self-Observation, but now that everyone was at the Supplementing Divine Temple and had ascended two whole realms, could he still maintain such monstrous prowess?

Yes, even if Shi Hao wasn’t as monstrous as before, his combat power should still not be underestimated. But to defeat him within three moves?

What a joke!

So, without waiting for Zhang Yuandong to speak, he immediately said, "Fine, I accept your challenge!" freёnovelkiss.com

This made both Zhang Yuandong and Weng Anhe frown; regardless of who won or lost, someone would be embarrassed.

Would Shi Hao really kill himself if Zhu Yu blocked the three moves?

And if Zhu Yu couldn’t block Shi Hao’s three moves, the face of the Heavenly Gu Sect would be greatly damaged, very embarrassing indeed.

"Come!" Shi Hao beckoned with his fingers, giving Weng Anhe and Zhang Yuandong no chance to intervene.

"You’re asking for it!" Zhu Yu immediately charged out, attacking Shi Hao.

With two Ascending to Saint Position powerhouses presiding, he didn’t need to worry about releasing too much power and destroying the Weng Family’s property.

Shi Hao stood motionless, letting the opponent bombard him.

Zhu Yu revealed a ruthless look, thinking Shi Hao was too arrogant.

If that’s the case, he’d have no one to blame for dying.

With one palm, he struck out, aiming for Shi Hao’s forehead to directly blast his Soul Sea.

—He knew that Weng Anhe would never stand by and watch Shi Hao kill himself. So, it would be better for him to handle it personally.

Bang!

Shi Hao punched, fast as lightning.

Zhu Yu, though he also struck out with a palm, had his arm shattered by the punch, which, without any pause, continued forward and smashed into Zhu Yu’s face, blasting his head to pieces.

Because the two were very close, and Shi Hao’s punch was both fast and sudden, Weng Anhe and Zhang Yuandong had no chance to intervene, and Zhu Yu was killed on the spot.

The headless body wobbled before it thunderously fell, blood spraying wildly from the neck.

Zhang Yuandong stood up abruptly, his face filled with both anger and shock.

How could he have imagined that Shi Hao’s strength would be so formidable, killing Zhu Yu in one punch, leaving him no chance to intervene?

He was even more furious that a mere member of the Supplementing Divine Temple dared to kill someone right in front of him.

"Good! Good! Good!" he said ferociously, "You really are audacious to kill a man before me!"

Shi Hao laughed disdainfully, "Senior, that’s not quite right."

"Zhu Yu and I had a bet. He blocks my three moves—he survives, I kill myself; he fails to block—it’s his own consequence to bear!"

"What, can’t the Heavenly Gu Sect accept a loss?"

Zhang Yuandong grew even more enraged, the audacity of this boy to provoke him.

"Brother Weng, is this son-in-law of yours too arrogant?" he said to Weng Anhe.

Shi Hao?

Not worth conversing with.

Weng Anhe tried to smooth things over, "Brother Zhang, this boy is reckless in his actions, I will certainly discipline him properly! Moreover, the Weng Family will definitely make amends."

With things having reached this point, all he could do was clean up after Shi Hao.

Yet, he was also astonished; Shi Hao’s strength was too incredible. Zhu Yu had ignited the Incense Flame, and was a genius on the rankings, yet he was killed in one punch by Shi Hao—the gap in strength was immense!

Having such a son-in-law, the Weng Family truly had found a treasure.

The only downside was that Shi Hao was too prone to causing trouble.

Shi Hao then picked up the conversation, "Grandpa Weng, fair bets must be honored. What’s there to compensate? Is the Heavenly Gu Sect that impressive? My senior brother is still Du Bian, and I am on good terms with senior Sword Emperor, and Gu Tong is even my big brother. What can the Heavenly Gu Sect do to me?"

Damn it!

Zhang Yuandong couldn’t help but grit his teeth—just Du Bian alone was enough to make the Heavenly Gu Sect wary, and it was indeed a fact that the Sword Emperor truly saw Shi Hao in a different light, something many people knew.

On the other hand, Gu Tong was very low-key, only a very few Sky Ladder experts knew that this man was incredibly powerful; at least, Zhang Yuandong had never heard of him.

Thus, this attempt of flaunting Shi Hao as a tiger’s skin was an utter failure.

Yet merely the forces of the Weng Family and Du Family were enough to make the Heavenly Gu Sect exercise restraint.

However, as a mighty Ascending to Saint Position expert, how could he show any weakness in front of a junior from the Supplementing Divine Temple?

"Good! Good! Good!" he said to Weng Anhe, "Brother Weng, I shall take my leave now! However, whoever kills a disciple of my Heavenly Gu Sect, we will certainly retaliate tooth for tooth, blood for blood."

Without waiting for Weng Anhe to persuade him to stay, he swept away his sleeves and left.

"You!" Weng Anhe glared at Shi Hao, "You could have easily defeated Zhu Yu, even seriously wounded him, without having to completely fall out with the Heavenly Gu Sect."

Shi Hao smiled, "Grandpa Weng, rest assured, a mere Heavenly Gu Sect doesn’t concern me at all."

"You rascal!" Nan Qing also came out, giving Shi Hao a critical look, mingled with worry and joy.

After all, Shi Hao had erupted in anger for her sake.

Weng Anhe didn’t blame him further. What had happened had happened; what was the point of blaming anyone now?

The Weng Family hosted a grand welcoming banquet for Shi Hao. It had been so long since he had been gone, and now that he had finally returned, everyone in the Weng Family was extremely excited.

After the welcoming banquet, Shi Hao began to ponder his next moves.

He took out a special helmet to wear, but he couldn’t connect to the Great Void Realm.

Clearly, being in the Land of Heaven’s Abomination meant that nature itself enforced isolation.

He’d have to wait until he was out of Yunding Star to use it.

Now that both major academies had shut down, where had his father gone?

What about Xiao Hei, Yue Feifei, Han Dong, and the others?

Had they returned to the Eastern Fire Continent?

Shi Hao wasn’t worried that he would never see these people again. Once he made a name for himself, his father and the others would naturally know where to find him.

Should he visit the Stone Country?

The only thing he couldn’t figure out was how Shi Zhong had left Yunding Star.

Unfortunately, Nan Qing had already lit the Incense Flame, otherwise, with the essence of the World Tree in hand, Shi Hao could have helped her build the strongest Supplementing Divine Temple.

He first settled down at the Weng Family’s residence, planning his next moves carefully.

"A new ancient relic has appeared near Huangsha City."

"A Great Medicine is suspected to be found in Xinyuan Lake."

"Scholars debate at Changyuan City."

"..."

As a Nine Stars power, the Weng Family naturally had their fingers on the pulse of the continent’s happenings, delivering a stream of messages to Shi Hao, leaving him to decide whether or not to get involved.

"Scholars debate at Changyuan City?" Shi Hao murmured, reviewing the list he had received; the scale of this event was truly immense, almost all top talents from the South Wood Continent had decided to attend this grand gathering.

—Nan Qing had also received an invitation.

"Good, I’ll announce my return at this debating conference," Shi Hao murmured. "I want to declare to the world that I am stronger than Shi Zhong. That way, at least in the coming games of power, the Stone Country might adopt a neutral stance."

—Shi Zhong, after all, had a Sky Ladder expert guarding him. How could Shi Hao kill Shi Zhong?

What if he stepped into the Sky Ladder?

That would take too long!

"Young master, someone has come requesting an audience!" Just then, a servant came to report, his face expressing curiosity.
