Chapter 484: Chapter 338: So-Called High and Mighty, Nothing More Than a Two-Cent Steel Ball (Part 2)

Although he desperately tried to compensate for it later, it was no use.

It was like a flaw in a piece of porcelain—once fired, it was irreversible.

This had become a lingering regret for Qin Zhen, and he never expected Wu Liangchen to point it out so bluntly.

’This man’s perception is truly astonishing.’

Qin Zhen’s thoughts raced, but he quickly regained his composure. Then he sneered, "Even with a flaw, dealing with you won’t be difficult."

With that, Qin Zhen took a step forward. The thick floorboards instantly cracked, and he shot toward Wu Liangchen like a cannonball.

It was a punch devoid of any flourish, containing only the purest form of power and speed.

It even compressed the air, creating a piercing sonic boom.

Earthquake Prison Fist!

Qin Zhen’s signature technique, ferocious and unmatched!

Facing this menacing punch, Wu Liangchen’s eyes narrowed. Instead of retreating, he advanced, also taking a step forward.

Then he raised his fist to meet the attack!

THUD!

A dull boom, like the beat of a war drum, echoed out. A powerful gust of wind erupted from the point of impact, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Wu Liangchen was forced back three steps.

Qin Zhen, however, only grunted and retreated half a step, a flicker of shock in his eyes. ℯ

’This guy’s strength is almost on par with my own Divine Sight Realm!’

If not for the fact that his Qi and Blood fluctuations were still within the Vein Opening Realm, Qin Zhen would have thought he was also a Divine Sight Realm Martial Artist.

’Thankfully, I still have him suppressed!’

The thought flashed through his mind, and Qin Zhen pressed forward again. He swung his arms, and the afterimages of his fists pressed down on Wu Liangchen like a mountain.

Faced with this incomparably fierce assault, Wu Liangchen showed no fear, meeting it with his own flurry of punches.

Although Wu Liangchen’s Eight-Step Wind-Chasing Fist originated from an obscure Little Fist Skill, years of honing and modification had long since brought it to its peak.

As a result, the two were surprisingly locked in a stalemate.

A series of dull thuds echoed through the room as the lavishly decorated office began to suffer the consequences.

Expensive desks and decorations shattered and exploded under the force of the shockwaves!

From inside the secret room, Sun Fusheng watched, stunned speechless.

Even through the thick glass, he could feel the incredibly ferocious and violent aura.

But gradually, as the battle progressed, Wu Liangchen began to fall into a disadvantage under the suppression of Qin Zhen’s superior strength.

This couldn’t help but give Sun Fusheng a glimmer of hope. He wished Qin Zhen would smash Wu Liangchen into pulp with a single punch to quell the hatred in his heart.

Qin Zhen was also feeling confident.

’This Wu Liangchen is certainly impressive, but he’s no match for me, who has been immersed in the Divine Sight Realm for many years.’

’As long as I kill him, not only will I receive a huge reward, but I’ll also boost my reputation.’

After all, public opinion had already become a tidal wave, and countless eyes were watching this place.

At this thought, Qin Zhen couldn’t help but redouble his efforts, pushing his Earthquake Prison Fist to its limits and forcing Wu Liangchen to dodge left and right, retreating continuously.

But even so, Wu Liangchen showed no sign of panic. His eyes remained as calm as still water.

Suddenly, a loud RUMBLE came from beneath their feet, and the entire skyscraper began to tremble.

This explosion was different from the previous ones. It wasn’t a single blast, but a continuous series of detonations.

Accompanied by these explosions, the entire building let out a groan as if under immense strain, then began to sway violently.

At the same time, numerous spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the walls and ceiling.

As the entire frame warped, the glass curtain walls began to burst one after another, sending shards showering down like a waterfall and drawing gasps of alarm from the crowd of onlookers outside.

Qin Zhen’s expression changed drastically.

He could clearly feel the floor beneath his feet tilting rapidly.

It was a sign of imminent collapse.

"Kid, are you insane?" he roared at Wu Liangchen in the distance.

But Wu Liangchen didn’t even bat an eye. He just smiled faintly. "Don’t you think the game is just starting to get fun?"

"You..." Qin Zhen’s fury erupted, but he quickly calmed himself, turned, and rushed toward the secret room.

He knew very well that Sun Fusheng’s life was the key. Otherwise, even if he defeated Wu Liangchen, or even killed him, it would all be for nothing.

After all, everyone outside knew he had been entrusted by Sun Fusheng to protect him.

’If my client dies, where will I show my face?’

But just then, a figure blocked his path.

Qin Zhen frowned. "The building is about to collapse, and you still want to fight?"

"Of course!" Wu Liangchen said calmly.

"I haven’t killed my target yet. Naturally, I can’t let you just take him away."

Qin Zhen laughed.

He laughed in fury!

"Don’t be so arrogant, young man. You think you alone can stop me?"

Wu Liangchen also laughed, his smile carrying a natural, confident sharpness.

"If you’re not arrogant, can you even be called young? Besides, you never know until you try."

At this moment, the skyscraper groaned, its angle of inclination growing ever steeper. It was like a dying giant, slowly toppling toward the ground.

Yet even under these circumstances, Wu Liangchen and Qin Zhen were still locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Their figures clashed and separated, each exchange producing a thunderous boom that sounded like a crack of lightning.

Large chunks of concrete rained down, and with the glass curtain wall long gone, the people outside could clearly see the situation on the top floor.

"Holy shit, holy shit! Get a picture, quick!"

The reporters cried out in alarm, their camera flashes never ceasing.

After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime scene that no one wanted to miss.

Just then, Qin Zhen let out a furious roar, "Go... die!"

As he spoke, he snatched a huge slab of fallen flooring, and with a mighty heave of his arms, swung it directly at Wu Liangchen.

The broken rebar protruding from the slab tore through the air, whistling as it flew toward Wu Liangchen.

Wu Liangchen dodged the attack with a quick step, then kicked a millstone-sized chunk of concrete directly at Qin Zhen.

BANG!

Qin Zhen shattered it with a single punch.

At this point, the two had abandoned all formal techniques.

Wu Liangchen wasn’t even using his saber.

In this environment, only the most direct and effective attacks were the path to victory.

In such a chaotic environment, everything around them became a weapon.

At the same time, they had to deal with the increasingly slanted floor, making the battle incredibly perilous.

Just as the fight reached a fever pitch, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Help, Hall Master Qin, save me!"

Qin Zhen’s expression changed. He immediately rushed into the secret room, which had also half-collapsed, only to see that a large hole had opened up in the floor at some point.

Sun Fusheng was desperately clinging to the edge of the broken flooring, his body dangling in mid-air, his face a mask of terror and helplessness.

When he saw Qin Zhen, his cries grew even more pathetic.

"Quick, I can’t hold on!"

Qin Zhen was about to move forward to save him, but at the critical moment, several chunks of concrete flying at him from behind interrupted his actions.

"Wu Liangchen, are you determined to fight to the death?" Qin Zhen roared.

After all, if Sun Fusheng fell to his death right in front of him, his reputation, and that of the entire Earthquake Prison Martial Arts Hall, would be utterly ruined.

But Wu Liangchen didn’t even acknowledge him, continuing his assault.

Qin Zhen punched the chunks of concrete to pieces, then, in the nick of time, reached out, grabbed Sun Fusheng by the shoulder, and lifted him up.

He wanted to save Sun Fusheng first and then come back to settle the score with Wu Liangchen.

But just then, a silver light flashed, followed by a soft PFFT. Warm blood splattered all over Qin Zhen’s face.

Sun Fusheng’s eyes went wide, his face still etched with terror and disbelief, but the light in his eyes quickly faded.

He probably never dreamed that he, a Patriarch of a powerful family who controlled immense wealth, considered himself superior to all others, and saw human life as worthless, would die so cheaply.

A steel ball bearing worth less than two cents had just ended his life.

After witnessing this scene, Qin Zhen first froze, then completely lost his mind.

"AAAAAH, I’LL KILL YOU!"

With that, he tossed Sun Fusheng’s corpse aside and charged toward Wu Liangchen.

Wu Liangchen’s action was a direct, humiliating slap in the face.

After all, he had accepted an exorbitant fee from the Sun family and promised to protect Sun Fusheng, yet the man had been killed right in front of him.

Who would ever trust him, Qin Zhen, or his Earthquake Prison Martial Arts Hall again?

He would become the laughingstock of all of Qing Province!

Now, the only way to wash away this shame was with Wu Liangchen’s blood.

BOOM!

Qin Zhen smashed through a massive wall and charged straight at Wu Liangchen.
