The crowd was stunned when they saw Zhu Jun suddenly draw his sword. They felt a tremor of fear at the power of that strike!

Zhu Jun is incredibly strong!

Some people present were sufficiently cultivated to sense that the power of Zhu Jun's sword was almost comparable to that of a typical Kaiyuan Late Stage Martial Artist!

Sword Falls Rivers and Mountains—such a powerful martial technique, and Zhu Jun mastered it at such a young age!

At this moment, everyone felt that Zhu Jun's ranking among the top ten elite young martial artists was too low!

He should at least be in the top six or seven, but definitely not the ninth as everyone knew!

The crowd was puzzled as to what grudge the Zhu Family's genius had against this unfamiliar young man to draw his sword on sight!

Moreover, to use such a powerful swordsmanship martial technique, this was clearly intending to claim the enemy's life!

Seeing this, everyone assumed that the unfamiliar young man was doomed!

How could a young man at Meridian Expansion Peak possibly withstand such a strike?

Ouyang Jing was chatting with his father on the side and initially didn't pay attention when he saw Su Chen and Zhu Jun seemingly standing together, even though there seemed to be some tension!

At this moment, Ouyang Jing's face turned pale upon seeing Zhu Jun unleash such a powerful swordstrike!

He froze, his mind going blank!

Faced with this unexpected situation, he couldn't react, and even if he did, there was nothing he could do!

Ouyang Pei was also bewildered. What was going on?

Even he couldn't offer assistance due to the distance!

In other words, this young man was undoubtedly dead!

This was everyone's assessment of the situation!

Even though most were below the Kaiyuan Late Stage, they could feel the power of that sword strike!

Zhu Jun's face bore a cold smile, clearly satisfied with his strike!

Punk, let's see you survive this one!

Initially, he didn't want to fight in such a public setting, but Su Chen's words enraged him!

All he wanted was to cut down this punk with one sword to clear his mind!

In this strike, he believed, the punk would die for sure!

However, facing this sword, Su Chen only wore a mocking smile, seemingly indifferent to it!

Although Zhu Jun's strength had improved, did Su Chen's not?

Moreover, Zhu Jun's improvement was incomparable to his own!

The crowd noticed the mocking smile on Su Chen's lips and found it incredible!

Did this guy become stupid with fear?

And still manage to smile at this moment!

However, a sense of foreboding suddenly struck Zhu Jun!

"Thousand Hand Seal!"

At that moment, Su Chen shouted, and his palm shot out, instantly forming three palm prints in front of Zhu Jun!

Zhu Jun was dumbfounded seeing these three palm prints!

What was going on?

He wanted to defend himself but found it impossible!

As these three palm prints emitted no True Yuan fluctuation, he couldn't discern which were real!

"Boom!"

At that moment, upon Su Chen's mental command, one of the palm prints charged at Zhu Jun, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string!

Additionally, the power behind his sword strike dissipated, and the remaining force posed no threat to Su Chen!

To be safe, Su Chen had already activated the Calm Spirit Body Technique.

This would mean that even if the sword struck him, the damage wouldn't be significant!

At that moment, a silhouette swiftly moved out, catching Zhu Jun still flying in the air!

"Jun'er!"

As the figure landed, they called out!

"Pfft!"

Zhu Jun, held by the figure, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, seemingly wanting to speak but unable to utter anything!

"Jun'er, don't speak; take this elixir!"

Zhu Yuanfeng took out a pill and fed it to Zhu Jun. This elixir was a precious Zhu Family treasure, used to save lives!

Such a thing was used only when absolutely necessary!

The onlookers were utterly dumbfounded!

Could this young man truly be human?

Zhu Jun had unleashed such a powerful move, yet was still defeated in one strike by this youth and severely injured!

How could this not fill them with shock and awe!

Soon, everyone pondered a question: According to his strength, should this guy already rank among the top elite young martial artists?

Thinking this, everyone shivered!

It seemed a new star, perhaps even a monster, was rising in the Ancient Martial World!

"Jing'er, what's the background of your friend?"

Ouyang Pei was equally taken aback, asking hesitantly!

For a Martial Artist at the Meridian Expansion Peak to defeat one with Kaiyuan Late Stage strength in one move was unheard of!

"I... I..."

Ouyang Jing stammered for a while, unable to articulate!

Even he was completely stunned!

He never imagined Su Chen had grown this powerful!

But after the initial shock, he genuinely felt happy for Su Chen!

No wonder Su Chen smiled and rejected him when he had wanted to spar!

Initially, he thought Su Chen was afraid of losing face by being defeated!

Now he understood, Su Chen feared it would be awkward for him!

.....

Although everyone was shocked, Su Chen was somewhat dissatisfied!

Because that final palm strike didn't settle things with Zhu Jun entirely!

Not that Su Chen couldn't; he had once killed a real Kaiyuan Late Stage, Song Haitian, with a palm strike!

He just didn't want to reveal his true strength publicly, opting to conceal it as much as possible!

After all, Zhu Jun was different from a true Kaiyuan Late Stage, especially in terms of defense!

He thought it was enough to deal with him, but unexpectedly it was just a bit short!

.......

After some time, Zhu Jun felt slightly better!

Zhu Yuanfeng promptly inspected Zhu Jun's condition, and his face instantly darkened!

He discovered his son's internal injuries were severe, and without that precious elixir, he might've died!

He had more than one son; the Zhu Family had other young members, but Zhu Jun was the one he and the family valued most!

In the first-class forces of the Ancient Martial World, only two could rank among the top ten elite young martial artists!

He always took pride in his son, Zhu Jun, who was the pride of the Zhu Family!

But today, that pride was severely injured, nearly losing his life. How could he not be furious?
