36: Chapter 36 Instant Kill!

Outside the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

A werewolf-like martial artist dropped from high above; it was Chen Ping, who had been sprinting frantically after revealing his Martial Aspect, 'Gray Wolf'.

His thick limbs cracked the asphalt road, causing traffic to halt and the crowd to fall into sudden panic.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Did Gu Ming really escape the pursuit and break into our Jinhe City?"

"Everyone, leave here as quickly as possible!"

Chen Ping gasped for breath as he shouted, feeling helpless. He had done all he could, and now he could only pin his hopes on the Transcendent Martial Artist inside the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Hoping they could hold off Gu Ming for a moment.

Regardless, the fact that there happened to be a Transcendent Martial Artist at the nearby Shanhe Martial Arts Hall was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; otherwise, he would surely die right now!

...

The next second.

Gu Ming also approached the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

"A Transcendent Martial Artist ahead?"

Listening to the prompt returned by his smart brain, Gu Ming couldn't help but sneer. This genius named Chen Ping was truly grasping at straws.

Looking across the Blue Moon Federation, besides Wang Jinhua from the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group, what other Transcendent Martial Artist was a match for him?

Cao Yi, whose fame had risen over the past two years, had also died by his hand.

Gu Ming did not stop his momentum and charged straight ahead.

This time, none of the geniuses on the list would escape. As long as he killed two more, he would have the chance to break through his bottleneck and advance to a Flying Martial Artist!

Once that happened, unless a Cosmic Martial Artist appeared, who could stop him?

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ming appeared outside the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall. He locked his gaze on Chen Ping and threw a punch that nearly shattered the air!

"Die!"

...

Inside the VIP conference room of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Fang Zhuo was still communicating with Wang Jinhua and Manager Tang Lan. It was mainly Manager Tang Lan who was making introductions, explaining some of the unique advantages of the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group.

"In addition to the Starry Sky Base, our Starry Sky Martial Artist Group also possesses the only High-Civilization Gravity Chamber in the entire federation."

"You should know about the simulated gravity chambers in various martial arts halls; they can only simulate double gravity. Even so, they are extremely effective for strengthening a martial artist's physical body."

Manager Tang Lan coached him patiently.

Fang Zhuo, however, didn't really take it in.

After the level-one alert sounded, how could he have the heart to listen to this?

Fang Zhuo's mind was filled with the wanted criminal Gu Ming. That alien lunatic had actually escaped the pursuit; could he have infiltrated Jinhe City at this moment?

This person was actually so formidable that after killing Cao Yi in the provincial capital, he could still retreat unscathed!

It wasn't just his combat power that was outstanding; it likely had something to do with his Martial Aspect, as he was very skilled at concealing his tracks.

"Brother Wang, you are the number one Transcendent Martial Artist of the Starry Sky Martial Artist Group. Do you think you can defeat Gu Ming? This lunatic has escaped the pursuit of the provincial capital's experts, and I'm afraid he has already entered Jinhe City."

Fang Zhuo looked at Wang Jinhua.

Fang Zhuo had heard of Wang Jinhua's great name. In the Blue Moon Federation, while not exactly a household name, basically anyone who followed martial arts knew of him.

The title of number one Transcendent Martial Artist was too resounding; it had been earned through battle records on the Origin Star time and time again.

On the Civilization Arena, countless alien powerhouses had died at Wang Jinhua's hands.

If Gu Ming were to face Wang Jinhua, in normal times, Fang Zhuo would have no doubts and would firmly believe that Wang Jinhua could win.

But at a time like this, his nerves were a bit tight. Gu Ming had infiltrated Blue Star from the Origin Star, killed Cao Yi in the provincial capital, and escaped the pursuit.

This madness was too terrifying.

"Gu Ming?"

Wang Jinhua said indifferently, "This guy's strength is indeed not bad. He has achieved a ten-game winning streak in the Civilization Arena on the Origin Star."

Seeing this, Fang Zhuo felt much more at ease.

Wang Jinhua didn't say he would win, but this calm, evaluative attitude was more convincing than any words.

Manager Tang Lan also smiled and said, "Rest assured, with Senior Brother Wang here, if Gu Ming dares to come, he will surely die!"

Just at this moment.

A booming sound came from outside the building, and the building itself shook slightly.

"Hmm?"

Manager Tang Lan frowned. Could he have really come?

Fang Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be such a coincidence? Was he coming for him? He didn't have that much fame, and his Martial Aspect hadn't even been made public.

Wang Jinhua set down his teacup and vanished from the room before anyone else, leaving behind only a calm sentence: "You all continue."

...

"Help!!!"

Chen Ping screamed in his heart. Could something be wrong with his tactical bracelet? Why hadn't that Transcendent Martial Artist senior come out yet?

With such a commotion, it shouldn't be possible to not notice it!

Could it be that he was a coward?

Chen Ping's eyes were wide with rage. A wolf shadow with glowing pupils emerged—it was his Martial Aspect, 'Gray Wolf'—and his muscles bulged once more.

The combat blade in his hand cut through the air, and a flash of blade light swept toward Gu Ming.

Even if I die, I will take a bite out of you!

The blade and the fist were rapidly approaching. Just as they were about to collide, Chen Ping was stunned: "He retreated?"

He saw Gu Ming's pupils constrict; he forcefully stopped his punch, turned his body around, and sprinted away without looking back.

Immediately after, a gust of wind brushed past Chen Ping. A young figure dressed in martial attire chased after him at an incredibly fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up to Gu Ming.

"Wang Jinhua!!!"

Gu Ming cried out in terror.

Wang Jinhua did not say a word. A combat blade had appeared in his hand, though no one knew when. Without any visible movement, a flash of blade light appeared.

The blade shadow was fiery red, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

It was none other than the 'Thunder Fire Blade', one of the three great blade technique manuals of the Blue Moon Federation!

"No!"

"Wang Jinhua, spare me! I can sign a contract with you and be your slave for all eternity. From now on, I will be your..."

Before Gu Ming could finish his sentence, his fat head flew high into the air.

His eyes were wide open, his face still filled with intense unwillingness.

Why... was this guy Wang Jinhua here? Wasn't he on the Origin Star...? Gu Ming's last glimmer of vitality was completely extinguished.

By the time the head rolled onto the ground.

Wang Jinhua had already disappeared from the street.

In front of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall building, this stretch of street seemed to have been hit by a binding spell; the panicked pedestrians were stunned, and the traffic had also frozen.

Chen Ping stood in front of the building, looking at the decapitated corpse of Gu Ming, but his mind was filled with that single blade strike executed by Wang Jinhua.

"This is... the sixth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade?!"

...

"Manager Tang Lan."

"Shall we go to the window and take a look?"

Fang Zhuo was truly curious. For safety reasons, it was fine not to leave the building, but taking a look from the window shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

"It's too late. If you want to see, just watch the news later."

Manager Tang Lan smiled lightly.

As the two were talking, footsteps came from outside the door.

"Where were you in your discussion?"

Wang Jinhua pushed the door open and entered, sitting back down in his seat. He looked at Manager Tang Lan and picked up his teacup to take a sip.

"The usage rights for the High-Civilization Gravity Chamber."

Manager Tang Lan replied.

So fast?

Fang Zhuo looked at Wang Jinhua and asked, "Brother Wang, just now outside... was it really Gu Ming who came?"

"What is the situation now?"

He figured that Gu Ming, knowing he was outmatched, had already run away?

Wang Jinhua had been gone and back in just over ten seconds; Fang Zhuo really couldn't imagine that he had killed him.

"He is dead."

Wang Jinhua swallowed his tea and looked at Fang Zhuo with a half-smile.
