Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1792 - 0121: The "Revenge" of My Aunt 1

Naturally, Wang Yue was the one who had orchestrated the ambush.

His only goal tonight was to lure Li Chonghe out and end his life, so he felt no need to follow the traditional rules of martial ethics.

Furthermore, since he was merely at the Tianyuan realm while Li Chonghe had reached the Guizhen realm, Wang Yue felt no shame in using a surprise attack. When facing such a massive disparity in Cultivation levels, a direct head-on clash would be nothing short of suicidal.

Consequently, Wang Yue launched his strike without a moment's hesitation.

Li Chonghe proved to be a terrifying adversary. As a seasoned veteran of the Guizhen realm, he reacted in a mere instant, instinctively tilting his head to avoid a lethal strike and throwing up his left arm to intercept the blade.

Boom!

The violent clash of their internal energies triggered a thunderous explosion.

The force of the impact sent Li Chonghe spinning through the air, but the recoil of his energy also slowed Wang Yue down, preventing him from immediately following up on the opening.

“Who are you?” Li Chonghe demanded, his voice harsh as he scrambled to his feet, though inward terror gripped him.

Judging by the aura of his masked foe, the man was only a martial artist at the peak of the Tianyuan realm. How could his offensive power be so overwhelming?

Crossing from the Tianyuan realm to the Guizhen realm is supposed to be a massive qualitative transformation, creating a vast chasm in power.

Even a novice at the Guizhen realm should be able to withstand a sneak attack from a peak Tianyuan realm cultivator without suffering major injuries.

Yet, this masked assailant had managed to wound him—a master at the third level of the Guizhen realm—and the injury was catastrophic. His left arm was slashed open, and the violent energy from the strike had shredded the Meridians within, leaving the limb completely paralyzed for now.

Wang Yue was equally startled. The power of the Guizhen realm was truly formidable.

Despite his Qi being thirty times purer than a standard Tianyuan realm cultivator, and having the eighth-level Great Wild Wind technique boosting his strength by thirty-two times, he had only managed to disable one of Li Chonghe's arms.

He felt relieved that he hadn't attempted a fair fight; otherwise, victory would have been uncertain.

“Who exactly are you, and what is the source of this enmity? As they say, it is better to settle a grudge than to keep it alive. If I have offended you, speak plainly, and I will compensate you,” Li Chonghe said, attempting to pacify the masked man.

He was stalling for time, hoping to use his Qi to stabilize his injuries, while also becoming intensely curious about the stranger's martial arts.

For a peak Tianyuan realm martial artist to deal such damage to a third-level Guizhen realm expert meant the assailant possessed a top-tier technique. Li Chonghe secretly desired to seize that power for himself.

As the proverb goes, villains often fail because they talk too much.

Wang Yue was no villain, so he didn't waste a single breath. Once he cleared the lingering energy interference, he lunged forward for a second assault.

This time, however, he kept his sword sheathed and attacked with his bare hands.

While the eighth-level Great Wild Wind was devastating, it required a brief moment of preparation that served as a critical flaw. Against someone of Li Chonghe’s caliber, dodging such a move would be easy if expected.

Moreover, Wang Yue wanted to keep that ultimate move hidden until he could catch his opponent off guard once more.

“Break Jade Palm? You are from the Jinling Wang family!” Li Chonghe shouted in shock as he deflected the blows, confused as to when the Wang family had produced such a powerful subordinate.

Wang Yue remained silent, his palms striking out in a relentless rhythm.

Li Chonghe was badly hurt and had considered fleeing if the situation worsened. However, as they exchanged blows, he realized the masked man wasn't as invincible as he first thought.

While significantly stronger than a typical peak Tianyuan realm fighter, the opponent's raw power seemed to be at the first level of the Guizhen realm at most. Even with one useless arm, Li Chonghe believed he had a fighting chance to win.

“That sword strike earlier must have been a forbidden technique; it’s not something he can use repeatedly. Even if he tries, I just need to evade the moment he draws the blade,” Li Chonghe reasoned, his confidence returning. He abandoned the idea of retreating and began to counterattack using his right arm and legs.

As Li Chonghe fought back, Wang Yue was immediately forced onto the defensive.

But this was exactly what Wang Yue wanted. With his Qi being over thirty times purer than normal, he was nearly as strong as a third-level Guizhen realm expert if he went all out. However, showing his full strength would likely scare Li Chonghe into running away.

If a master at the third level of the Guizhen realm focused entirely on escaping, Wang Yue would have no way to catch him.

Thus, he intentionally feigned weakness, biding his time for the perfect moment to strike a killing blow.

In a flash, the two had traded hundreds of moves.

One possessed the combat power of the Guizhen realm, while the other was a genuine third-level master. The sheer force of their techniques was devastating; within minutes, the lush forest had been reduced to a wasteland of shattered wood and debris.

After these hundreds of exchanges, Wang Yue appeared to be struggling, barely able to block and unable to find an opening to strike back.

Sensing victory was near, Li Chonghe roared, “Regardless of who you are or your ties to the Wang family, hand over that martial technique and I’ll spare your life. I’ll forget this ever happened and even offer my protection to the Wang family!”

Now was the moment!

Capitalizing on Li Chonghe’s momentary lapse in focus, Wang Yue suddenly exploded with power, reversing his defensive stance and thrusting a palm forward.

This move was still the Break Jade Palm, and it appeared to be the most basic variation. Li Chonghe dismissed it, believing he could easily deflect it.

But as their palms collided, Li Chonghe’s face twisted in horror. “You were holding back?!”

This strike was vastly more powerful than the previous ones, posing a lethal threat.

Li Chonghe’s gaze immediately darted to the long sword on Wang Yue’s back, ready to jump away the second the blade was unsheathed.

Yet, Wang Yue didn't reach for his sword; instead, he followed up with another palm strike.

Because Li Chonghe was so preoccupied with the potential sword move, his guard dropped slightly when he saw another palm coming, and he moved to parry it.

This was a fatal mistake. This palm strike was several times more potent and much faster than the one before it. Li Chonghe’s defense was shattered instantly, and the blow landed squarely on his right shoulder.

Boom!

Li Chonghe was sent hurtling through the air once again.

This time, however, he was hit cleanly; his defensive energy failed to offer any resistance to Wang Yue’s advance.
