Reborn in the Great Yan Dynasty: I Cultivated to Become a Martial Saint Through Telekinesis

Chapter 50 One Against Eight

"Now, my strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Stone Skin Warrior!"

Even without the testing stone, Mo Zheng could guess the increase in his power just by feeling it.

The leap from the "cowhide" level to the "stone" level, a small realm advancement, results in a terrifying increase in power.

An ordinary martial artist at the "cow skin" level would never have a strength exceeding three thousand jin, while a martial artist at the "stone skin" level would have a strength of at least four thousand jin.

Just now, after absorbing the first drop of Azure Flame Bird's heart blood, Mo Zheng's strength must have reached five thousand jin. This second absorption has crossed the boundary of the stone skin level, and the increase in strength is even more terrifying, probably around six thousand jin, or even more.

Although the exact number cannot be determined, his casual punch now is equivalent to his previous full-force attack, and he is definitely stronger than everyone who has entered the Rejuvenation Realm.

"Unless someone on their team can break through to the copper skin level."

Mo Zheng clenched his fist suddenly, and a burst of air exploded out.

The immense increase in power made Mo Zheng feel incredibly strong.

"My strength and defense are superior to theirs, and their external martial arts skills are also inferior to mine." Mo Zheng laughed and muttered to himself, "It's time to go out and find them. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I wonder who will be the oriole that gets caught."

The Copper Skin Realm could not possibly exist in the Rejuvenation Realm.

To enter this realm, one must cultivate external martial arts to the level of Unity. However, those who enter the Rejuvenation Secret Realm are all at the first level of the Tower of Ascension, and are far from the Unity Realm.

Therefore, it can be said that Mo Zheng is now invincible, absolutely invincible in this Rejuvenation Realm.

Even if everyone joined forces, they might not be his match.

After wiping the blood off his body, Mo Zheng put on protective clothing and robes, picked up his weapons, carried his spoils, and quickly headed towards the Wutong Forest.

He was so fast that he left afterimages in the forest.

In just ten breaths, he arrived at the place where the Azure Flame Bird had been killed.

The ground was covered with charred marks, and many embers were still burning slowly.

He Zeng, Liu Changfeng, and Qu Fei lay there quietly, their injuries as black as charcoal, completely ignored. If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of their chests, one would surely think they were dead.

"Hmm? There's some noise!"

Mo Zheng keenly sensed the sound of weapons clashing inside and immediately laughed, saying, "It seems they didn't divide the spoils fairly. This saves us a lot of trouble."

If the Blood-Awakening Grass had already been distributed and everyone had scattered, the Rejuvenation Realm was so vast that even with his mental power, it wouldn't be easy for Mo Zheng to find them within a day and a night.

But since there's a fight now, it means the division of power must not have been settled.

Indeed, Mo Zheng hadn't been absorbing the Azure Flame Bird's blood for very long. In a chaotic battle with many people, everyone had their own agenda, so it wasn't easy to determine a winner.

He strode inside and soon saw the tall sycamore tree and the bird's nest, as well as the martial arts disciples fighting below the nest, and a black stone with blood-awakening grass growing on it.

"Are you all injured?"

Mo Zheng looked closely and saw that there were eight people in the field, five lying down and three standing.

The five lying down were He Shouxin and the others, while the three standing were You Chendong and the others. All of them were dressed in tattered clothes and had more or less wounds on their bodies, obviously indicating that they had just fought a very fierce battle.

This ending is also quite reasonable.

You Chendong and his two companions generally have an advantage over the other disciples. If Mo Zheng and the other six join forces, victory will not be difficult.

But with so many people, there are also many thoughts. Mo Zheng ran away, and the female disciple also ran away, leaving only four people. They all rushed to fight for the Blood Awakening Grass instead of joining forces to fight the enemy first. It was only natural that they were defeated by You Chen Dong and his two companions.

However, it was clear that You Chendong and his two companions were not a united front. After beating the others into submission, the three of them were left speechless.

With such a large fortune before them, no one was content with just one share, so they started fighting each other.

A very exciting match.

You Chendong's sword was like a cold star, agile and dazzling; Zhao Teng's long staff was powerful and heavy; Li Zhujie's pair of short knives were like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, sinister and vicious.

The three fought fiercely. Although You Chendong was a bit weaker, he was wearing a second-tier soft armor and abandoned defense, launching frequent attacks and actually gaining the upper hand.

Under these circumstances, Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie joined forces in perfect harmony, attacking You Chendong with a staff and two swords in succession. After exchanging more than ten blows, You Chendong finally revealed an opening and was struck hard in the chest by the long staff.

boom!

With a dull thud, a tremendous impact penetrated the soft armor and struck You Chendong's body. He groaned, blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth. Then, Li Zhujie delivered a whip kick, knocking him to the ground.

"Break his arms and legs, then we can fight again!" Zhao Teng shouted.

"good!"

Li Zhu nodded, and the two were about to step forward to make a move.

You Chendong never expected that his long-planned scheme would end like this, and he was extremely unwilling to accept it.

Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly caught sight of a figure standing in the distance out of the corner of his eye. Startled, he shouted, "There's one more person!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze in the direction he was looking. Several dozen feet away, a young man carrying two swords stood there, smiling at them.

"Don't argue!"

Looking at his face, You Chendong shouted, "I didn't expect you to come back again."

"It's me, everyone. I didn't expect that even after I've been gone for so long, you still haven't decided on the ownership of this Blood Awakening Grass," Mo Zheng said with a smile, slowly walking towards the bird's nest.

Zhao Teng looked at Mo Zheng and sneered, "Mo Zheng, I know you, a genius young man who can wield dual swords, but you've come a step too early. Today, this Blood Awakening Grass is destined to be out of your reach."

Li Zhujie also laughed; both of them felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, Mo Zheng appeared early.

If it had been a little later, when the three of them decided on the final winner, that person would have been exhausted and covered in wounds, and might not have been able to defeat Mo Zheng.

But now, either of them could handle this kid, let alone both of them together.

"I'd like to see if your twin swords can handle the two of us," Li Zhujie sneered. So what if they had twin swords? They were only good against martial artists of the same level. They were Stone Skin Realm martial artists, and their strength and defense far surpassed their opponents'.

Unless this kid is Lan Jun, whose external martial arts talent is also frighteningly good, if he has the external martial arts skills to pass through the second level of the Tower of Ascension, he would be able to deal with the two of them working together.

However, there are quite a few martial artists who can multitask, but a genius like Lan Jun is one of a kind in the last few decades.

"Hey, Mo Zheng, you and I will team up!"

You Chendong suddenly shouted, "Let's join forces to defeat them and divide the Blood Awakening Grass equally!"

Only he knew Mo Zheng's strength: he was strong and fast, but his only weakness was defense. It might be difficult for him to fight two against one, but with him, it would be a two-on-two battle where their side would definitely win.

Mo Zheng completely ignored him, simply smiled slightly, and said, "The three of you can come at me together; it'll save some time."

Ok? !

Upon hearing this, Li Zhujie, Zhao Teng, and You Chendong's expressions immediately changed.

Should we send them all at once?

Instinctively, Li Zhujie blurted out, "Are you crazy?"

Zhao Teng sneered and said, "I think he's invincible just because he used the Azure Flame Bird's heart blood. So what if you broke through to the Stone Skin Realm? You think you can take on all three of us at once?"

Both of them are at the Stone Skin Realm, and they are confident of winning in a one-on-one fight, let alone when they join forces.

This is understandable. Firstly, they had never fought Mo Zheng and did not know his true strength. Secondly, they were unaware of the existence of mental power, which made Mo Zheng's foundation more solid. When he broke through to the next realm, his strength increased more than theirs.

Only You Chendong thought of Mo Zheng's previous performance and seemed to be deep in thought.

Clang!

A sword light suddenly appeared.

Mo Zheng didn't bother to waste any more words with them. He drew his sword and charged forward, his terrifying speed creating a whistling sound.

"Prepare to die!" Zhao Teng roared, raising his staff to meet the attack.

"Kill!" Li Zhujie, wielding two swords, was filled with murderous intent and followed closely behind. Today, no one could stop him from obtaining the Blood Awakening Grass.

You Chendong also drew his sword and charged towards Mo Zheng, but he used a feint. He was thinking of letting Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie take the lead to test Mo Zheng's strength, while he would conserve his own power and observe the results later.

One more martial artist means one more variable.

This variable could very well affect the final battle for the Blood-Awakening Herb.

As for the other disciples who were severely injured and unable to move, they looked at the swiftly moving Mo Zheng with amusement and a mocking smile on their faces. So many of them working together were still defeated by these three guys, and now Mo Zheng alone wanted to fight three against one?

Unless he just had a sudden enlightenment and made great progress in his external skills, he's just asking for trouble.

call out!

Mo Zheng drew his sword. The sword light was like lightning, and the cold air was chilling. The long sword was incredibly fast, and the sword path was light and unpredictable, making it impossible to figure out the exact direction of the attack. The speed was terrifying. Zhao Teng, who was in the lead, had no way to dodge this sword!

But he had no intention of dodging. His long staff moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, striking Mo Zheng's chest with all his strength concentrated in that single blow.

Trading injury for injury.

This was the solution Zhao Teng came up with in a flash. Since he couldn't see the sword's path and couldn't defend against it, he might as well not defend at all!

Swords are used to injure people because of their sharpness, while clubs are used to injure people because of their power and weight.

He was wearing first-tier armor and was a Stone Skin level martial artist. Even if this sword could break through his defenses, he would only suffer minor injuries at most. But if his staff struck his chest, the impact would definitely shake his internal organs and cause his blood to churn, leaving him powerless to fight back for a short period of time.

In a duel between martial artists, let alone being unable to move for a short period of time, even a slight delay in movement can mean the difference between life and death.

Unfortunately, the idea was good.

Just as the two were about to collide, the longsword suddenly accelerated!

The speed of the man and the sword suddenly increased dramatically, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

The two passed each other in an instant. Zhao Teng felt that his blow had missed its target. But then, a terrifying force slammed down on his shoulder, like a small mountain suddenly pressing down. The immense force made Zhao Teng's vision go black, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground with a dull thud.

"puff!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, having already suffered internal injuries from the force of the impact.

After a month of arduous training, Mo Zheng's external martial arts skills are absolutely qualified to challenge the second level of the Tower of Ascension, surpassing many of them. Now, with the blessing of the Azure Flame Bird's blood, his physical attributes have improved across the board, and his strength and speed have been greatly enhanced. How could they possibly match him?

You still want to trade injuries with Mo Zheng? You can't even catch a glimpse of Mo Zheng!

call out!

The sword light flashed swiftly, carrying all of Mo Zheng's strength, and struck Li Zhujie, who looked surprised. It easily bypassed the defense of the two short swords and slashed at his left arm.

The overwhelming power and the sharp longsword pierced through the defenses of first-tier armor as easily as tearing through a piece of paper. Even the hard, stone-like flesh was left with a long, bloody gash.

Two figures passed each other. Li Zhujie's short knife in his left hand had fallen to the ground, and his other hand, which was holding a knife, was pressed on the wound on his left arm. His expression was blank.

The last one to rush up was You Chendong. Seeing that Zhao Teng and Li Zhujie had already been defeated, he was horrified. He turned his sword technique from offense to defense and did his best to protect his head and neck.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Mo Zheng didn't even draw his sword. He flashed to close the distance and delivered a powerful kick to the chest, leaving afterimages as he bypassed the sword's defense and sent the attacker flying backward. The attacker landed on the ground like a giant toad, clutching his chest and unable to get up.

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the field had changed, and apart from Mo Zheng, there was no one else standing.

We've lost, we've all lost!

He defeated three opponents single-handedly in one encounter!

How is that possible?!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the young man standing proudly with his sword in the center of the arena, their faces filled with fear. For a moment, apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound in the sycamore grove.

"This guy..."

Yuan Shouxin stared at Mo Zheng's figure, swallowing hard. He never expected that Mo Zheng, who was traveling with him, would be so strong, dealing with Stone Skin Realm martial artists as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

After all, the power of the Stone Skin Realm cultivator was clearly evident during their fight just now.

Even though their external martial arts skills were no less than their opponents', their weapons could only cause minor injuries when they hit their opponents, while a casual strike from their opponents could cause serious injuries to them. This difference in physical strength caused them all to fall here.

Ke Mozheng, fighting three against one, displayed a completely overwhelming strength; he was too strong!

It's not one-on-one, it's one against three!

What kind of strength is this?

According to the information they had gathered, the boy had only been in the monastery for two months.

In just two months, to have cultivated to the point of entering the secret realm and qualifying for the inner disciple assessment is already quite remarkable.

But this kid, now he's taken on three opponents single-handedly, and defeated the three strongest opponents working together!

He had only been a member of the monastery for two months...

"Cough...cough cough..."

You Chendong coughed lightly a few times, relieving some of the pain in his internal organs. When he looked at Mo Zheng again, it was as if he were looking at a monster.

It's gotten stronger again.

Compared to their fight yesterday at the Twin-Winged Cicada's habitat, this boy's strength and speed have greatly improved. The force of this kick has already caused him internal injuries!

The key point is that kick just now; he had no way to dodge it, it was too fast!

Right now, let alone using two swords, even without swords, if he were kicked twice more, You Chendong had no doubt that he would be kicked to death, his internal organs shattered.

This realization frustrated him.

This is the third time we've faced off.

From winning by cunning when the opponent used both swords a month ago, to winning by a single sword yesterday, and now to the point where there's no need to draw a sword at all.

The gap between the two widened to the point that You Chendong could no longer see any hope of defeating his opponent.

Who can understand the feeling of watching someone walk step by step from behind to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and then leave you far behind, unable to see their back?

Humiliation, frustration, helplessness, heartache...

A mix of emotions welled up inside You Chendong, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He lowered his head and sighed deeply...
