Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 164 Laughing Yama

The gap! An insurmountable chasm!
It's not a skill, not a movement technique, and certainly not some special protective golden light or wondrous escape technique; it's simply an overwhelming crushing force based on pure life essence and accumulated cultivation!

It is the most direct and ruthless difference in foundation and heritage!
Zhao Zhen, relying solely on his unfathomable life cultivation, without using any fancy techniques, simply raised his hand and parried, and instantly shattered Li Ding's proud, even full-force, attack!

Li Ding steadied himself, breathing heavily, his right arm dangling slightly in spasm, the fighting spirit on his face long since replaced by horror and a hint of bitterness.

He looked at Zhao Zhen, who was smiling and maintaining a pushing palm posture not far away, and at those terrifyingly steady hands, he was speechless for a long time.

Although it was only a brief exchange, Li Ding truly felt the terrifying power contained within Zhao Zhen's body, which was vast and boundless like an abyss!
"You flatter me, Brother Li."

Zhao Zhen slowly lowered his hand, his face still bearing that gentle smile, as if the earth-shattering collision just now was nothing more than brushing away a speck of dust for him.

He walked up to Li Ding and casually patted his numb and trembling right arm.

A gentle and peaceful flow of true qi instantly penetrated the area, and the tearing pain and severe numbness quickly subsided by more than half.

"This is……"

A look of shock flashed in Li Ding's eyes.

"It's just a small trick."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand. Some time ago, when he was with Zuo Ruotong, he saw Zuo Ruotong use the Reverse Life Triple Technique to heal him. So, Zhao Zhen shamelessly begged Zuo Ruotong to teach him this move along the way.

Although the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is a closely guarded secret of the Three Ones Sect, strictly speaking, this technique is merely a method of using true Qi.

Since practicing alchemy, Zhao Zhen's internal energy has also been full of vitality.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to replicate the healing effect after Zuo Ruotong taught him this technique.

While it certainly can't compare to those professional doctors, it's more than capable of improving blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

As Li Ding sensed the gentle yet unfathomable true qi within his body, he immediately shook his head with a bitter expression, his tone gradually becoming incredibly complex.

"They're not even on the same level. I see... So this is the strength that allowed him to fight Zhang Zhiwei to a draw. The difference is too great. I'm impressed!"

At this moment, Li Ding's gaze toward Zhao Zhen no longer held any probing or resentment, but only pure respect.

This exchange, which could hardly be called an exchange, was merely a direct demonstration of power levels, and it made him fully realize the enormous gap between himself and these prodigies.

If Zhang Zhiwei's Golden Light Mantra made Li Ding admit defeat back then because of its impenetrable strength, then the battle with Zhao Zhen made Li Ding understand a new principle.

The gap between ordinary people and geniuses does not gradually narrow with effort, because while you are working hard, geniuses may be working even harder than you.

Therefore, the gap between the two will only be magnified infinitely until it becomes invisible.

"Haha, great! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Lu Huizhong's light laughter and clapping echoed from the sidelines.

She walked slowly forward, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Zhao Zhen, her gaze filled with an even stronger sense of inquiry and appreciation, almost undisguised.

"See that, Xiao Xu? This is the true potential of Zhao Zhen's younger brother."

It's not just about being fast; it's a reputation earned through hard work and dedication!
"Purely relying on brute force, I never expected that young Zhao Zhen, at such a young age, your life force and cultivation would be comparable to some of my Tang Clan elders. I admire you, I admire you."

Xu Xin stood there, mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.

He thought Zhao Zhen had only managed to escape the Japanese devils' pursuit by relying on his strange escape techniques, but he never expected that his strength in a head-on confrontation would be so terrifying!
He subdued Uncle Li, who had activated the Earth and Wood Flow Technique, solely based on his cultivation level!
You have to understand, Uncle Li is one of the top frontal attackers in their generation!

When Xu Xin looked at Zhao Zhen again, his eyes changed completely, filled with intense apprehension and a hint of fear. "Sister Lu, you flatter me."

Zhao Zhen smiled at Lu Huizhong, ignored the shocked Xu Xin, and continued speaking to Li Ding:

"Brother Li's black-tipped armor, combined with the flow of earth and wood, is unparalleled in its power and ferocity. Although I was able to repel you, I could not harm you while you were wearing the black-tipped armor. This technique will surely shine brightly when used to deal with the Japanese devils on the battlefield in the future!"

Zhao Zhen acted with great magnanimity, acknowledging the other party's advantages while skillfully defusing any disappointment the other party might feel due to the difference in strength.

Upon hearing this, Li Ding's unease dissipated considerably, and he nodded.

"I have learned a great deal from you today. I am truly impressed by your abilities, Brother Zhao."

After saying that, Li Ding's gaze toward Zhao Zhen gradually became more respectful and solemn.

This young man is not only responsible and resourceful, but his own strength is also unfathomably terrifying!
No wonder the sect leader valued this commission so much, even summoning all the best members of the Tang Clan back from outside.

While the greater good of the nation and its people played a significant role, there must have also been some appreciation for outstanding younger generations involved.

"Wow, so that's who's been fighting so fiercely here. Turns out it's you guys, Xiao Li and Huizhong!"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out from behind them.

Upon hearing these voices, Lu Huizhong and Li Ding's group didn't react much, but Zhao Zhen's smile froze the moment he heard them.

"Little fox, can't you smell it?"

"No."

The mud inside Zhao Zhen spoke with a solemn expression.

The reason Zhao Zhen reacted so strongly was because the sound was coming from extremely close to them.

Even though others had gotten so close, he and the little fox still didn't notice at all. How could this not terrify Zhao Zhen?

At this distance, if the other party truly intended to take his life, taking just two more steps forward would likely put him within the range of Dan Shi's abilities!
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

As Lu Huizhong and the other two bowed respectfully, Zhao Zhen finally recognized the identities of the visitors.

The MVP of the Battle of Mianshan was Tang Jiaren, the senior brother of the current Tang Sect leader and the Laughing Yama!

"Greetings, Senior Tang."

Zhao Zhen also bowed and greeted him.

"No need to be so polite, we've actually met before."

"Seen?"

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback and looked at Tang Jiaren in front of her with some doubt.

"At the Lu family's birthday banquet, I went to offer my congratulations to Old Master Lu on behalf of the Tang Clan."

After being reminded by Tang Jiaren, Zhao Zhen finally realized what was going on.
