Chapter 123 - 123 Fate (2)
123 Fate (2)
At this moment, the other two attacked Jiang Ming.
“Too weak!” Jiang Ming smiled faintly. He did not even use his blood Qi. He threw out two punches.
With two loud explosions, the blood Qi dissipated, and Jiang Ming’s hands were unscathed.
“So strong…” Miss Wang’s chest heaved up and down. Every time she saw him in action, she was shocked beyond words.
Jiang Ming was calm and composed. He saw Wu Tiantong and Master Kongjian turn around and flee in horror.
One jumped out of the window, and the other hit the wall.
Wu Tiantong’s heart was beating wildly. “Damn it, whoever doesn’t run is a fool. Is this guy still human? Even Zhou Pingshi wasn’t this strong.”
Jiang Ming shook his head and rushed out of the window.
Jiang Ming immediately saw a figure carrying an axe and fleeing quickly down the mountain.
Jiang Ming did not hesitate. The Meridian Breaker burst out at once. His speed suddenly increased. Like a meteor falling from the sky, he shot toward Wu Tiantong.
As he was approaching, Jiang Ming’s blood Qi gathered around his palm in the shape of a blade.
Wu Tiantong seemed to have sensed something. He glanced back and was immediately scared out of his wits.
“You’re so much stronger than me, do you need to use a forbidden skill to kill me?”
The blood Qi shot down. Wu Tiantong’s whole body exploded.
Only one of the three Grandmasters was left!
Jiang Ming did not waste any time. He immediately changed direction and chased after the other Grandmaster.
In less than ten minutes, he saw Master Kongjian.
“Stop right there!” Jiang Ming shouted.
Master Kongjian turned a deaf ear and continued to flee.
Jiang Ming shot a fistful of Blood Qi at Master Kongjian’s bald head.
Master Kongjian could only stop in his tracks. His blood Qi curled around his staff and barely resisted the attack. However, he was sent flying dozens of meters away.
He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and held his staff, which had snapped in half. He stared at the figure that was floating over in fear. “Young monk, I have no enmity with you. I was just bewitched by Wu Dao, please forgive me. Can you spare my life?”
“You were bewitched by Wu Dao?” Jiang Ming’s expression was slightly serious, “I see.”
Kongjian was overjoyed. Was he going to be spared?
However, Jiang Ming said solemnly, “That means your faith is not pure enough. Today, I’ll help Buddha get rid of you, you evil creature!”
Master Kongjian spat out another mouthful of blood.
Jiang Ming suddenly rushed out and punched him.
There was a loud clang!
Master Kongjian was struck by a huge force, and his body exploded.
Jiang Ming looked at his fist suspiciously. He seemed to have hit something just now.
He slowly walked up to Master Kongjian. His body had exploded, revealing a pitch-black stone slab that was less than a foot in length and width.
“This stone slab didn’t shatter after my punch?”
Jiang Ming was surprised. He picked up the stone slab and looked at it from left to right.
The stone slab was rough to the touch, with knife marks on one side, as if it had been chiseled off from a larger stone bit by bit, while the other side was densely engraved with tiny writing.
On the far right side, there were a few extremely complicated ancient words. Fortunately, Jiang Ming had traveled extensively over the years and read a lot of books, otherwise, he really would not be able to read them.
“This is an ancient script from more than two thousand years ago.” Jiang Ming’s heart trembled as he recognized the words.
The Thunderclap Technique!
He took a rough look and was instantly overjoyed.
This seemed to be a pure body-strengthening technique, but it also required the help of spiritual power.
“Since Master Kongjian can’t cultivate it, he can only use it as armor!” Jiang Ming shook his head. Unfortunately, although he could block the attack, the blood Qi had seeped through and crushed him.
“I didn’t expect that I would find this day.” Jiang Ming caressed the stone slab lovingly, “This is fate!”
He laughed and turned to leave.

After that night, Miss Wang regained control of the Nameless. Under her instructions, the news of the battle spread everywhere.
In just a few days, the legend about Anonymous spread throughout the continent.
He had killed three Grandmasters alone. Such a battle record was even more terrifying than Zhang Shan’s last battle. Anonymous had also completely suppressed all the martial arts powerhouses. For a time, he was in the limelight and became a legend of the martial arts world.
The power of the Nameless had also reached its peak overnight. The Nameless of the past were mysterious, but without a Grandmaster to hold down the fort, they could not reveal themselves for fear of being killed.
However, after today, no matter who it was, they would have to treat the Nameless with caution.
Miss Wang launched an investigation and attack on the Liang family.
Countless hidden forces of the Liang family were uprooted in just a few days, and their heads rolled to the ground.
At the same time, the Flying Cloud Castle suddenly moved out and pressed toward the Qingxuan Army’s sphere of influence. The friction between the two sides turned white hot—as if they were about to usher in the final battle.

Jiang Ming was wandering around the capital.
It had been more than three months since the battle at the temple. Jiang Ming had already arrived in the capital, but he did not directly rush to the Liang family.
He needed to bide his time.
He walked into a bar and went up to the second floor. He sat by the window and ate while looking outside the window.
In the distance, one could vaguely see a huge mansion. That was the main residence of the Liang family. It was said that it was even more luxurious than the palace.
“The Qingxuan Army has been defeated again. They’ve already lost the three prefectures.” In the restaurant, everyone was talking about the recent battle.
“If they continue to retreat, the capital might be a target soon.”
Many people sighed.
Jiang Ming could sympathize with them. No one wanted to live through a war.
“Breaking news! Breaking news!”
Suddenly, a breathless figure rushed into the restaurant and shouted, “The patriarch of the Liang family risked his life to kill a Grandmaster of the Flying Cloud Castle. He has emerged victorious!”
