Strongest Replication

C49 Forty Seconds



C49 Forty Seconds

After hearing a rough recollection of what had happened from Chu Xing, Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but get furious.    

    

What happened was very simple. Half an hour ago, Chu Zhongba and his group encountered Wang Chao and his group.    

    

Now, if it were Chu Yuping leading the same Chu Family group, he would've immediately retreated with the group.    

    

After all, the Wang Family was better than the Chu Family in overall strength and the number of genius cultivators each family had. Moreover, Chu Zhongba was the only strong guy in his group since Chu Yuping and Chu Shixuan had left with their own groups.    

    

On the other hand, the Wang Family group not only had Wang Chao, but they also had many other strong younger generation experts.    

    

Now, retreating at a time like this made sense since their opponent was overwhelmingly strong. Yet, contrary to common sense, Chu Zhongba's group didn't retreat. Instead of running away like crazy, Chu Zhongba actually took the initiative to challenge Wang Chao. He wanted to use this opportunity to prove who was the second strongest among the Qi Country's younger generation.    

    

Had Chu Zhongba been fighting with Liu Yongjun, this would've been a good idea. Liu Yongjun's pride would've made him fight fair and square; he wouldn't have resorted to underhanded tactics.    

    

However, the treacherous Wang Chao had a reputation to protect.    

    

The matter developed just as anyone with more than a single brain cell could've predicted. Although Wang Chao readily agreed to Chu Zhongba's challenge, he immediately ordered the Wang Family disciples to join the fray when the real fight began. This caught Chu Zhongba, who was expecting a one-on-one battle, off guard.    

    

Consequently, three Chu Family disciples died, and one was left grievously injured seconds after the fight started. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Chu Zhongba made his group retreat.    

    

"Where did they retreat to?" Considering the difference in strength between the two parties, Chu Zhongtian was very anxious.    

    

The Wang Family group was simply too strong. Thanks to the hatred accumulated over generations, Chu Zhongtian was afraid that everyone from that group would die apart from Chu Zhongba.    

    

"There..." Chu Xing struggled to raise his hand as he pointed.    

    

"I think you'll live. I have some healing medicine. Take it first." Chu Zhongtian gave him a few bottles of healing medicine that he had taken from other cultivators and then left in a hurry.    

    

Chu Xing looked at Chu Zhongtian's back as he left. Chu Xing was stunned by the sheer velocity with which he ran. He thought to himself, 'Since when did my Chu Family have such an expert?'    

    

Chu Xing looked at the familiar back, and while ignoring the healing medicine, he tried to remember whom that back belonged to.    

    

After that, a terrifying thought emerged in his mind. 'Could it be him?'    

    

Chu Zhongtian, who was moving at full speed, soon found increasing amounts of corpses as he moved toward where Chu Xing had pointed.    

    

Those corpses belonged to the Chu and Wang family disciples; sadly, the Chu Family corpses made the majority.    

    

When Chu Zhongtian saw this, he became extremely anxious. His speed combined with the movement technique was already astonishing; it seemed like the pressure was forcing the movement technique into achieving the next level.    

    

Regardless of their rank (lower, middle, and peak), all martial skills could be divided into four levels. According to a cultivators' degree of mastery, they were divided into beginner, minor success, great completion, and perfection.    

    

In the past, when he was just at the beginner level, he could barely use the movement technique. But now, his proficiency was showing signs of breaking through to minor success.    

    

Meanwhile, Chu Zhongba and Wang Chao had been fighting all this while; consequently, the Chu Family group's retreat was not fast. Three minutes later, Chu Zhongtian could vaguely hear the sound of fighting from his left side.    

    

Chu Zhongtian once again increased his speed and moved forward a thousand meters. There, he saw the people who were fighting.    

    

Fifty-two people from the Chu Family participated in this contest, so their number wasn’t small by any means. Chu Shixuan took four people with him, and Chu Yuping took seven people. Not counting Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongba had the biggest group since he had the remaining 37 people.    

    

There were only seven people left in Ch Zhongba's group now, eight if you count Chu Zhongba.    

    

The Chu Family had already lost 29 young disciples. Perhaps this was the most serious loss the Chu Family had suffered in the past ten years. What Chu Zhongtian didn't know was that Chu Shixuan, who was ranked second in the Chu Family's younger generation, also died in Wang Chao's hand.    

    

When Chu Zhongtian saw the tragic loss, he was infuriated. An uncontrollable killing intent emerged in his heart.    

    

Chu Zhongtian pulled out his steel blade and roared, "Kill!" Then, he charged straight into the battlefield.    

    

He unleashed total annihilation on the battlefield, leaving a volley of corpses in his wake.    

    

Chu Zhongtian's saber technique was suitable for one-on-one fights, so it didn't really help him in a group fight. However, he had the strength of a peak Level-7 Refiner, so he could still use that saber technique to forcefully cleave multiple opponents. It was like driving a blunt butcher's knife through human muscles, tendons, and bones with raw power alone. Moreover, even the strongest Wang Family disciples here was a mere Level-6 Qi Refiner. So when faced with Chu Zhongtian's powerful sneak attack, they were cut down like vegetables.    

    

Chu Zhongtian's rage-filled attack claimed the lives of seven Wang Family disciples and left three grievously injured almost instantaneously. Those three injured disciples weren't even the attack's target; the aftershock injured them.    

    

His attack was very powerful. Not only did it stun the Wang Family disciples, but it even left the Chu Family disciples shell-shocked.    

    

Chu Zhongtian was very dissatisfied with this situation. Getting distracted while being in the middle of a battle showed just how immature and unprepared these disciples were. In a life and death battle, getting distracted was akin to seeking death. 'I've to talk to the patriarch after retuning about this.'    

    

In fact, Chu Zhongtian was the only one who had such weird thoughts. After all, who wouldn't be shocked if a mere Level-4 Qi Refiner killed seven and injured three cultivators seconds after joining a battle?    

    

So, had the Chu and Wang family disciples not been stunned, then that would've been truly strange. Meanwhile, Chu Zhongtian didn't let his guard down. After his first slash, he launched a deadly attack and killed another strong Wang Family cultivator.    

    

Only after hearing the shrill cries of Chu Zhongtian's latest victim did everyone break out of their reveries.    

    

When the remaining Wang Family disciples saw their eight dead and three injured comrades, they became furious and rushed toward Chu Zhongtian. As he looked at the torrent of cultivators rushing toward him, Chu Zhongtian sneered and raised his blade to meet them.    

    

Their combined strength wasn't even enough to make him go all out. However, when he saw the injured Chu Family disciples, he went all out in anger.    

    

Chu Zhongtian's full strength + the modified saber technique + the force + the movement technique made sure that he killed at least one person with each slash.    

    

When he first joined the battle, Chu Zhongtian had purposely aimed for the strong experts (of the younger generation) of the Wang Family. Thanks to that, the Wang Family was down three Level-6 Qi Refiners, and their group now only had one alive Level-6 Qi Refiner left.    

    

However, under Chu Zhongtian's saber technique, even the last Level-6 Qi Refiner didn't last for long before he was cut in half by the steel blade.    

    

Forty seconds later:    

    

Chu Zhongtian killed a Wang Family disciple each second; now, they were down 40 disciples. The Wang Family group only had four Level-4 Qi Refiners left. Chu Zhongtian decided not to kill them, and those three injured Wang Family disciples. Instead, he left them to the Chu Family disciples, who had suffered a great loss due to them.    

    

It wasn't that Chu Zhongtian wanted to let them go; they were simply too weak. It was also precisely why they could preserve their lives to the end.    

    

Looking at the Chu Family disciples who were acting as if they were about to carve the pig, the Wang Family disciples' faces turned pale.    

    

Fortunately for them, the Wang Family's main force arrived right then. Due to that, the remaining Chu family disciples couldn't attack.
