Endless Ascension

Chapter 35: A Severe Beating, with a Vengeance

Qin Ze stepped back a few paces, carefully observing Zhao Jiannan to see what reaction would ensue.

Although it was the first pill he had ever concocted, at this moment, Qin Ze hoped it would have some adverse effect, just to make it worth his while.

Zhao Jiannan swallowed the pill, then let out a satisfied burp. His eyes flickered, and he shook his head. Suddenly, his face changed, and his stomach began to gurgle loudly...

Sweat appeared on his forehead as he looked at Qin Ze and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"

"Viagra, to restore a man's vigor," Qin Ze replied, seeing the pain on Zhao Jiannan's face. "Is the reaction too intense?"

Zhao Jiannan's face turned pale, and he began to shiver. His mouth trembled as he asked, "Where... where is the toilet?"

"Damn, his body is reacting adversely, but this is happening too fast, even faster than a laxative," Qin Ze thought to himself, secretly delighted. "I could use this as a laxative to prank people in the future."

Seeing Zhao Jiannan clamping his legs together and struggling to hold it in, Qin Ze quickly said, "Mr. Zhao, I apologize, but this shop is small and doesn't have a toilet."

"You... you..." Zhao Jiannan's face turned even more ashen. Zhao Yi immediately realized they had been tricked. This was not any aphrodisiac pill; it was most likely poison.

At that moment, the qi he had been subtly gathering surged out. He swung his foot, sending a bench flying, and simultaneously attacked Qin Ze.

Qin Ze snorted coldly, already prepared. He easily dodged the bench and confronted Zhao Yi directly, his fists striking without any fancy moves.

"Looking for death," Zhao Yi sneered, his eyebrows slightly furrowing as his fists transformed. Qi spread out, forming substantial giant fists that pounded down ferociously.

"The qi of the Lingdong realm is indeed extraordinary," Qin Ze thought, doubling his speed and changing direction to attack Zhao Jiannan behind Zhao Yi.

Zhao Jiannan's face was filled with distress as he watched Qin Ze's fists coming at him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to retaliate; he simply had no strength to do so. His whole body felt limp, as if he had engaged in a three-day, three-night marathon with a vigorous middle-aged woman. He couldn't muster even a slightest bit of strength, and what was worst, his intestines were in turmoil, gurgling loudly, with aturbulent force violently assaulting his anus.

If he relaxed slightly, the contents of his bowels would explode out.

And this was happening outside, with the tavern doorway surrounded by passersby. If such a thing occurred in this situation, how could he ever hold his head high in Qinghe City again?

"Bang..."

A solid punch landed on Zhao Jiannan's face, sending him crashing to the ground. Fury welled up within him, but he couldn't unleash it. His eyebrows locked, and his eyes glared at Qin Ze as he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill... kill... kill him."

Zhao Yi's face was also grim. He had initially thought Qin Ze would confront him directly, but unexpectedly, he was such a despicable person, attacking Zhao Jiannan instead.

If anything happened to Zhao Jiannan, he would be in deep trouble.

Thus, he pushed off with his right foot, his body shooting forward like a sword...

Qin Ze smiled faintly and stopped attacking Zhao Jiannan. Instead, he quickly moved to the side, looking at the crumpled,agonizing screams ing Zhao Jiannan on the ground. He couldn't help but admire himself again. He had actually concocted a laxative pill; he was truly a genius.

"I guess I need to carefully read the instructions before taking any pills in the future," he thought.

Zhao Yi helped Zhao Jiannan up, his face slightly anxious. He didn't know what kind of pill Qin Ze had given him. Seeing Zhao Jiannan's pale face and shivering body, he felt a little panicked.

Zhao Jiannan, one hand tightly guarding his anus, pointed at Qin Ze with the other and said, "Kill... kill... kill him first..."

Zhao Yi glanced at Qin Ze, his aura changing. His palms formed claws as he grasped at the air, seizing an invisible force with his hands. Visible traces of qi, like rays converging into his palms from all directions, shimmered with a faint white light under the sunshine...

Qin Ze became cautious, thinking to himself, "The Lingdong realm is indeed unusual. I need to hurry up with my cultivation."

"Dodge? I'll make you have no place to dodge..."

Suddenly, qi erupted from Zhao Yi, his robes fluttering without any wind, his long hair dancing. He glared coldly at Qin Ze, his hands grasping fiercely at the air, creating a series of 'squeaking' sounds. Then, he charged directly towards Qin Ze with incredible speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye...

His claws grasped at the air, and a sneer appeared on Zhao Yi's face as he roared, "Dodge if you can, see where you can hide."

The pressure formed resistance, akin to being in deep water.

Every movement of his body immediately felt the impact of a powerful force. Qin Ze snorted coldly; he had never feared anyone in a contest of strength.

Suddenly, the tendons in Qin Ze's arms bulged, and the bones and joints in his body began to crackle.

Powerful strength erupted from his dantian, like a volcanic eruption.

"Dodge?"

"I never intended to dodge..."

A faint dragon's roar suddenly sounded. Qin Ze's expression changed, and he felt a surge of joy. The dragon's roar had been released...

At the same time, his fists smashed down towards Zhao Yi as if splitting the heavens.

Zhao Yi's expression also changed drastically, revealing a look of disbelief. He exerted even more force with his claws, intensifying the invisible resistance in the air as he furiously struck up against Qin Ze's fists...

The invisible, formidable resistance collided with Qin Ze's fists, their power splitting the heavens.

The two forces intertwined, collided, and generated intense friction in the air, producing a low, muffled crackling sound that was irritating and unsettling.

More and more people had gathered around the tavern doorway. As the two forces collided, they momentarily fell silent, their eyes widening as they watched the battle inside...

The invisible resistance was slowly dissipating, and the force in Qin Ze's fists increased abruptly.

"Boom..."

Zhao Yi was forcefully pressed down onto the ground, his face extremely ugly.

He pushed up with his hands, intending to retaliate, only to feel a gust of wind pass by. Qin Ze's figure disappeared, and when he turned to look, he saw Qin Ze's sinister smile. Then, Qin Ze kicked Zhao Jiannan's buttocks heavily...

"Aaaaah..."

The pig-like scream was not due to pain but because he couldn't hold it in anymore...

"Splash..."

A yellowish mess spilled from his pants, a mixture of feces and urine exploding out like rolling mud, immediately filling the air with a foul odor.

The crowd at the tavern doorway erupted into laughter.

Zhao Jiannan's eyes were lifeless, his body exhausted, his breath weak. "Home... let's... go home..."

If this continued, he would surely die. His intestines were gurgling again, and a new round of turmoil was igniting...

Zhao Yi glared at Qin Ze and coldly said, "I'll be waiting for you at the family invitational tournament."

Qin Ze laughed heartily, "Hurry up and take your young master back home, haha..."

A severe beating, with a vengeance.

This time, Zhao Jiannan had lost all his face!
