CHAPTER 204: CHAPTER 204: TRULY. LET YOU HAVE ONE HAND

"What a single hand!"

Qin Zi laughed loudly and said coldly, "Since you like one hand so much, I’ll let you have just one hand today!"

The demons were astonished.

Having broken through, Ming Yu was so powerful, yet this person dared to be so arrogant, saying he’d let Ming Yu have one hand.

Could it be that he thought he could deal with Ming Yu with just one hand?

Such extreme arrogance!

"Bringing humiliation upon yourself!"

Ming Yu snorted coldly, then gathered white lightning in his right hand, and launched a palm strike towards Qin Zi.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a pillar of white lightning shot through the void, transforming into a Thunder Dragon, rushing to devour Qin Zi.

The next moment, Qin Zi’s body was struck by the Thunder Dragon and dissipated like a wisp of smoke.

"It’s an afterimage!"

The demons exclaimed, then noticed a figure frantically running atop the Thunder Dragon’s spine, from its head toward its tail, like swimming upstream from the downstream of a great river!

"Hmm?!"

Ming Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Just from this speed, he realized the strength of his opponent.

And in the next moment, Qin Zi already appeared in front of him. A terrifying punch, as fierce as the blazing sun, was already being delivered.

Yet he was unfazed.

His right hand calmly lifted to block in front of his chest, just in time to stop Qin Zi’s coming punch. However, the power of Qin Zi’s punch was so terrifying, like the fiercest ancient beast, savage and brutal.

"Bang!"

Sparks flew from his wrist, and then his entire body was blown backward. After flying over ten meters, a pair of snow-white wings suddenly unfolded behind him, along with a giant shadow of a Celestial Crane.

"Buzz!"

The wings of the crane shadow wrapped forward, then its long beak, like the most fearsome sword in the world, suddenly pecked down at Qin Zi.

"Kill!!"

Qin Zi’s expression changed slightly, but his path was blocked by the wings, and he could neither dodge nor escape, only lift his head and throw a punch to kill.

He unleashed the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture.

The radiant punch light was like a great sun!

But the beak of the Celestial Crane was too powerful, a naturally born Supreme Divine Technique, its pecking power truly terrifying.

"Bang!!"

With a loud noise, the ground beneath Qin Zi’s feet cracked like a spider web, and his body was half-buried into the square.

Simultaneously, the enormous Celestial Crane shadow was also repelled by his punch light, leaning back.

"Three Thousand Tribulation Destruction Finger!"

And in the instant the Celestial Crane shadow leaned back, a light shone in its heart area, which was Ming Yu himself, his body leaning forward and pointing at Qin Zi.

"Whoosh!"

A silver-white light, gathering terrifying sharpness and impact, seemed capable of tearing everything apart!

"Fish Dragon Surging Seas!"

Qin Zi waved his hands in a Tai Chi manner, and instantly, anomalies appeared around him, as the sea surged and carp leaped, turning into golden serpents that twisted and spiraled, charging at Ming Yu.

"Puff puff puff puff puff!"

This finger was too strong and directly shattered the serpents one by one, but its power was also consumed.

At this moment, Qin Zi employed the Witch Venerable Body Refining Scripture, his body suddenly expanding to over two meters tall, seemingly transformed into a human-shaped beast, enveloped in indestructible runes, charging against the white beam.

"Puff puff puff!"

The white beam fell on Qin Zi’s body and directly collapsed, while Qin Zi traveled upstream, crashing into Ming Yu.

"Divine Feather Protection!"

Ming Yu shouted, the white wings behind him closing, instantly glowing white, forming a white oval light sphere.

"Boom!!"

Qin Zi crashed against the light sphere, and immediately, the white light trembled, and the entire white light sphere flew backward and then exploded.

Whoosh!

Ming Yu flew back over a hundred meters, and when he looked forward again, he found Qin Zi’s face almost pressed against his own.

"You!!"

He wanted to say something but found his wings had been grabbed by Qin Zi’s hands, too late to react, a sharp pain flooded over him.

"Rip!"

"Pfft!"

The pair of wings he was so proud of were directly torn off, and instantly, blood poured out like a torrent.

"Ah——"

He let out a scream, surrounded by lightning, enveloping Qin Zi, like a massive thunderball exploding in the air.

However, at this moment, Qin Zi was burly, as if forged from steel, with witchcraft runes etched on the surface of his skin, invulnerable to all techniques!

"Snap!"

He reached out his right hand and directly grabbed Ming Yu by the neck, using his height advantage to lift him like a chick.

"You... you said just now that you would use only one hand, you... are dishonest."

Ming Yu struggled to speak, his breathing labored.

"No, I keep my word."

Qin Zi squinted his eyes, showing a chilling smile: "I said I’d use one hand, and I’ll let you use one hand."

With that, he grabbed Ming Yu’s right hand with his left hand and suddenly tore it off with force, blood splattering.

"Ah—"

Ming Yu let out a heartbreaking scream, staring in horror at his right shoulder, realizing his right arm had been torn off.

"Aren’t you now left with just one hand?"

Qin Zi grinned.

"You you... ugh!!"

Ming Yu roared in anger, then suddenly felt a rush of fire in his heart, spitting out blood, fainting on the spot.

"Haha, boring."

Qin Zi laughed disdainfully and casually tossed Ming Yu aside like a dead dog.

Soon, an elder from the Demon Race appeared and took Ming Yu away.

The elder gave Qin Zi a cold glance but said nothing—when one’s strength is inferior, any bold words or threats seem pale and powerless.

At this moment, the disciples of the Shattered Star Academy all looked at Qin Zi with fear, as if looking at a demon king.

It was as if the sky above was covered by dark clouds, with no hope in sight—this was the fear of being dominated by a demon king.

Even the Celestial Crane was defeated; who in the Shattered Star Academy at the first Heavenly Layer could be a match for this person?

"Do we really have to help him break through to the second Heavenly Layer?"

"Wouldn’t that just benefit him!"

"No, once he breaks through to the second Heavenly Layer, he’ll surely be slain by our second Heavenly Layer prodigy of the Shattered Star Academy!"

The demons were abuzz with discussions.

Meanwhile, Qin Zi sat calmly in the square, closing his eyes to rest, as he had all the time he needed.

The higher the realm, the less valuable time becomes.

Upon reaching the realm of a Celestial Saint, advancing just a minor realm could take decades, even decades.

If young people could reach the pinnacle within a few years, what would happen to those who have cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years?

And if young people reach the peak in just a few years and then fail to progress for thousands or tens of thousands of years, that would also be a waste of life.

Without a solid foundation, the earth would shake and mountains would quiver.

Cultivation is ultimately a gradual process, requiring time, honing, and accumulation.

At this moment.

Qin Chuan had also entered the Shattered Star Academy—he was invited by the important figures of the academy.

This was a formality.

Between the Human Race and the Demon Race, no matter the underlying conflicts, at least the upper echelons maintained a cordial diplomatic relationship, and the basics of decorum couldn’t be torn apart.

Just like when Elder Ying Sun brought Ying Kong to blockade the gate of the Purple Cloud Academy, they were also invited inside for tea.

"Elder Qin Chuan, this is your son, correct? Such restraint—it’s surprising he didn’t kill Ming Yu."

A tiger-headed elder from the Demon Race sneered.

"Haha, my son has a kind heart, something he inherited from me."

Qin Chuan chuckled modestly, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm.

"You!!"

The face of the tiger-headed elder twitched—you claim your son is kind-hearted, yet our academy’s Ying Kong was torn apart alive!

Yet he could not say more.

Incompetence deserves its end.

At this moment, an elder with bat wings by the side spoke in a deep voice: "Elder Qin Chuan, let’s be straightforward, in the first Heavenly Layer, our Shattered Star Academy currently has no one who can defeat Qin Zi, so... let’s discuss terms. What will it take for you to leave?"

"This, you’ll have to ask my son."

Qin Chuan sighed, seemingly helpless: "That rebellious son has always acted recklessly, never listening to anything I say."

"Is that so?"

The demon elders showed doubtful expressions, feeling that the person before them was not sincere.

If Qin Zi truly never listened, would he still be alive today?
