Chapter 108: A Sky Full of Stars!

The sudden eruption caught everyone completely off guard!

No one could believe that Luo Tian, who had just been chatting amicably with Jiang Zhenglong, would strike without warning. The smile still lingered on his face, but his clenched fist, formed like a cannon, surged forth like a venomous dragon emerging from its den, radiating a fierce killing intent and a scorching heat as it slammed violently onto Jiang Zhenglong’s right arm!

“Brother Luo—”

Though Jiang Zhenglong uttered words of disbelief, he had no intention of surrendering. Sensing danger, he swiftly mobilized his primal energy at his fastest speed.

Just as Luo Tian’s cannon-like fist was about to crush Jiang Zhenglong’s arm, a layer of crimson radiance instantly solidified, enveloping his arm. At the same time, Jiang Zhenglong’s figure flew backward, attempting to create distance.

A primal energy shield!

However, Luo Tian had already seized the initiative. The crimson protective energy, not yet fully formed, was shattered into fragments by Luo Tian’s punch!

Harnessing the ninth stage of the Qi Condensation realm’s True Steel Fiery Primal Energy, combined with his “Breaking Yuan Hand,” Luo Tian’s strike was remarkably effective. Not only did he destroy Jiang Zhenglong’s nascent primal energy shield, but he also struck directly on his right arm!

“Crack!”

The bones in Jiang Zhenglong’s right arm snapped cleanly.

For cultivators of the Pulse Flow realm, the ability to project primal energy is their greatest advantage against Qi Condensation cultivators. Whether launching ranged attacks or engaging in close combat with energy shields, it’s a decisive edge.

Caught off guard by Luo Tian’s sudden assault, Jiang Zhenglong was unable to prepare perfectly and suffered a serious injury in an instant!

The scene stunned everyone into silence.

No one could imagine that a Qi Condensation cultivator would dare to ambush a formidable Pulse Flow realm master!

Even suicide would be preferable to angering such a powerful enemy!

“Senior Brother Luo is incredible!”

Li Yang felt his heart surge with excitement, his fists clenched involuntarily. Although his current strength and eyesight prevented him from seeing exactly what happened in that instant, Jiang Zhenglong’s expression and the helplessly hanging right arm clearly revealed the outcome.

“Master Long—”

Zhao Yishui felt as if something had lodged in his throat, rendering his speech slurred. “Are you okay?”

At this moment, except for Li Yang and a few other disciples of the Divine Sun Sect, everyone wished Luo Tian would just die immediately.

Since he had already gained Master Long’s trust, why not press the advantage and rescue everyone? Attacking a Pulse Flow cultivator like this—how desperate must one be to do such a thing?

Luo Tian was deliberately endangering everyone!

“Are you seeking death?”

Jiang Zhenglong finally reacted, his body wrapped in a solidified crimson glow. His face twisted with a mixture of rage and ferocity.

“Jiang Zhenglong! For killing my Divine Sun Sect disciples and insulting our sect, your crimes are unforgivable!”

Luo Tian shouted righteously, though in his heart he was still scheming how to kill Jiang Zhenglong.

The gap in realms was unbridgeable. That was why Luo Tian had resorted to cunning, using the names of Jiang Zhengfeng and Steward Li to lull him into complacency before launching a sneak attack.

But that didn’t mean victory was guaranteed.

“The Divine Sun Sect—once I return to Wanfeng City, I will annihilate your entire clan!”

Furious beyond measure, Jiang Zhenglong considered being ambushed and injured by a Qi Condensation cultivator a humiliation he could never erase. He not only wanted to kill Luo Tian but had also vowed vengeance against the Divine Sun Sect itself.

Though his right arm was injured and his usual weapon unusable, Jiang Zhenglong gripped a long spear with his left hand. A sharp primal energy shot forth, aimed directly at Luo Tian.

Despite having the Divine Primal Armor for defense, Luo Tian refused to take the hit passively. Skillfully, he stepped forward with a Kui Xing kick to the right front, immediately following with a shadow-like left foot move.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Tian’s agile form dodged Jiang Zhenglong’s attack.

Without hesitation, Luo Tian pressed the assault, his feet pounding forward. Although Jiang Zhenglong had only just created some distance, Luo Tian quickly closed in.

“Seeking death!”

Jiang Zhenglong gritted his teeth, hatred flowing like a raging river within him, aching to kill the youth before him.

With a flick of his left hand, the golden spear gleamed brilliantly—clearly no ordinary weapon—and thrust straight at Luo Tian. If it connected, it would pierce a transparent hole through him.

Luo Tian stepped two paces diagonally forward, once again evading Jiang Zhenglong’s spear.

Not just Li Yang and the outer disciples but even the dozen or so henchmen could see that Luo Tian, despite being a Qi Condensation cultivator, was holding his own—if not slightly ahead, considering the earlier sneak attack.

“Senior Brother Luo has become so powerful?”

Li Yang whispered, filled with admiration. His own talent was modest, so seeing Luo Tian develop the strength to contend with a Pulse Flow cultivator in just a few months was truly enviable.

If only he could be like that—he would not only find Qinglan more easily but also protect the townsfolk from bandits and mountain thieves.

“This Luo Tian could never be a match for Master Long—such arrogance!”

Zhao Yishui forgot his own position, now resenting Luo Tian’s arrival even more. If all had gone smoothly, he might have managed to lure two or three fellow disciples with his letters, and with Master Long in a good mood, might have secured his own release.

But now, not only did Luo Tian attack out of turn and injure Master Long, but once Master Long’s wrath fell upon Luo Tian, his mood would surely sour. There was no doubt he would turn on Zhao Yishui next.

What kind of trouble was this?

A completely undeserved calamity!

Jiang Zhenglong sneered fiercely. Despite Luo Tian dodging his last two strikes, he showed no sign of urgency.

Pulse Flow cultivators are not easy opponents.

Though he had just broken through and not yet fully mastered the Pulse Flow realm’s power, dealing with a Qi Condensation cultivator was more than within his means.

Moreover, he had already comprehended two golden elemental true intents!

What did this Divine Sun Sect rustic, Luo Tian, know about true intent?

Though his right hand could not wield a weapon, Jiang Zhenglong was supremely confident holding the spear with his left. With a slight twist, the red-golden spear spun rapidly like a drill, his arm twisting to point the spearhead directly at Luo Tian.

What was Jiang Zhenglong about to do?

Luo Tian frowned, slowing his movements slightly. Though skilled in close combat, reckless charging forward might not be wise.

The exquisite red-golden spear, initially gripped in the middle, spun over ten times rapidly, and Jiang Zhenglong’s left hand was about to grasp the spearhead.

As it spun, countless fine crimson light shadows pressed toward Luo Tian like a storm of sparks.

Though enraged, Jiang Zhenglong couldn’t help but smile with pride. This was his human-grade mid-level primal technique, “Starry Sky.” At the Qi Condensation realm, it allowed piercing multiple times in an instant. Now, in the Pulse Flow realm, with energy projection, it had improved further, releasing countless golden elemental energies in an instant.

Let’s see how you dodge this!

The barrage was massive. No matter how agile Luo Tian’s movements, no matter how unpredictable his footwork, at such close range, he could only endure the onslaught!
