Chapter 958

The energy that swept downwards was actually blocked. Such a scene was completely out of the expectations of the two of them. Their expressions changed drastically.

Then, a look of joy appeared on the ordinary Jinyuan cultivator's face. He knew that he was no match for his opponent, so he ran in this direction. His original intention was to sense the powerful aura just now. However, this aura flashed and disappeared, and he could not accurately sense it. That was why he ran in a straight line.

He did not expect this strong cultivator to be below. He was about to ask for help.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura surge from below. As he turned his head, he was scared out of his wits. He saw that it was a fist aura that shot up into the sky. It was a golden fist aura, as bright as the golden sun. It tore through space with a terrifying aura.

As his expression changed drastically, he also dodged to the side. This attack was not aimed at him, so he could naturally dodge it.

However, his opponent, the acquired stage warrior, was not so lucky. This fist aura was clearly aimed at him, and it was too late to dodge. He could only mobilize the Ultimate Yuanli in his body to block this attack.

This punch was powerful and terrifying. It directly bombarded the acquired stage warrior's body.

This was an attack in the air, but it did not prevent the fist aura from exploding completely and unleashing its full power.

"Boom!"

The fist aura exploded, turning into a destructive energy that swept up the acquired stage warrior. This destructive energy directly shattered space, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky.

The ordinary Jinyuan cultivator stared blankly at the huge black hole. From beginning to end, he did not hear any other sound until the energy dissipated.

The energy dissipated, and the space healed. A charred corpse fell from the sky and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

The ordinary Jinyuan cultivator dodged and stood in the distance, looking at the corpse on the ground. His expression was already extremely shocked. When he felt this aura, he knew that it was extremely powerful, but he did not expect it to be this powerful.

One attack, and an acquired stage warrior was killed.

Zhang Feng was also in a state of shock. He was also shocked by Zi Chen's powerful punch. He was stunned. To be able to kill a perfected acquired stage warrior with a punch from a distance, this combat ability was indeed ridiculously powerful.

"I am Cong Zhixing. Thank you for saving me, senior." The ordinary Jinyuan cultivator reacted and quickly thanked him with a fist salute.

"Save? Who saved you?"

A cold voice sounded from below, "Killing him first will only let you live a little longer. As for a selfish person like you who only cares about yourself and doesn't care about the lives of others, you don't deserve to live in this world."

That cold voice caused Cong Zhixing's expression to change once more. He hadn't expected this expert to be so temperamental and call him a selfish person. He hastily explained, "Senior, please spare me. It's the Martial Heaven Alliance's people who go too far. I'm not selfish."

Clearly, the other party did not know where his selfishness lay.

"You treat mortals as ants. You deserve to die." The cold voice sounded again. Then, the golden light appeared again and shot up into the sky.

Cong Zhixing's eyes were wide, filled with disbelief and disbelief. There was absolutely no way for him to block that fist. That fist would definitely kill him. However, he wasn't willing to accept it. He wasn't willing to accept his death, but rather, the reason for it.

It was actually because he viewed mortals as ants. Mortals were ants in the first place, so there was no need to look at them. However, the other party actually wanted to kill him because the shockwaves from his energy had killed some mortals and ants.

That was the source of Cong Zhixing's unwillingness. Could it be that he, a grand peak Primal Core expert, was inferior to a few ants?

The golden fist-light flashed, and Cong Zhixing's body directly exploded. Originally, he had wanted to leave his opponent with an intact corpse, but his opponent didn't even know what he had done wrong. He deserved to die without an intact corpse.

After the surging energy dissipated, the entire Zhang village fell silent for a moment. Everyone stared blankly at Zi Chen's courtyard. That silence lasted for ten breaths before miserable cries and startled cries rang out.

"Quick, save him!" The other villagers also reacted and rushed over to the collapsed houses.

There were still a few people trapped within the collapsed houses. Some of them were dead, while others were injured. The majority of them were women, children, and even the elderly. Most of the young men had run out early in the morning.

Everyone began to clean up the collapsed houses. However, whether it was the wooden houses or the stone houses, they were not easy to clean up.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew past. The wind blew away the boulders and scattered the wooden blocks, revealing the villagers inside. Some of the villagers were dead, while others were still alive. Everyone hurried over to help.

The gust of wind just now was caused by Zi Chen waving his sleeves. He retracted his sleeves and saw Zhang Feng looking at him strangely. Zi Chen asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Zhang Feng naturally knew about the treatment Zi Chen had received. He said, "What a strange guy."

Zi Chen naturally knew what he was referring to. He replied, "The women and children are innocent."

Zhang Feng laughed strangely. "Repaying kindness with evil."

Just as they were talking, Bing 'er and the limping Old Zhang walked outside to help the other villagers.

Zi Chen looked at the two and said, "A good person is a good person because they have a kind heart. A kind person knows how to be grateful. They can always remember the good of others and ignore the bad. As for others, they can only remember the good they have done for others and ignore the good others have done for them."

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Then, you are a good person. Are you going to save people too?"

Zi Chen shook his head. "I am not a good person. Although I can remember the good others have done for me, I will not forget the bad others have done for me."

Zi Chen and Zhang Feng did not go out to save people. All the boulders and wooden blocks had flown away, making it much easier to save people.

This time, it was not only Zhang Village that suffered this disaster. The nearby Liu Village also suffered a violent impact. Less than half of the villagers were still alive. Most of them were still injured. It was very miserable.

In the face of such a disaster and impact, the people of the small village seemed to be very united. Everyone extended a helping hand. Of course, there were also a few kind-hearted people, such as Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiaofei's family. They would first go to help the rich people. During the rescue process, their eyes kept looking around, as if they were looking for something.

Because they were father and son, the two of them took a long time to prepare the dry food. This caused the two of them to be slower than the others when they came out. It was this delay that saved their lives.

Today's situation could not be more normal in the following days. It was not uncommon for cultivators to fight in the air and mortals to suffer.

In this regard, Zhang Feng teased Zi Chen about why he did not care. Zi Chen did not respond.

Zi Chen was not a bad person, but he was not good to a certain extent, so he would not deliberately help others. However, the entire Zhang Village was under Zi Chen's protection. As long as there were cultivators fighting, once Zi Chen came here, he would take action.

If it was light, he would drive them away. If it was heavy, he would use all his strength to kill them.

In the end, because there were too many cultivators fighting, Zi Chen directly propped up a huge light shield. The light shield protected all the mortals of Zhang Village. At the same time, it warned other cultivators that once they stepped into the range of the light shield, they would die.

Because of Zi Chen's protection, the villagers of Zhang Village lived relatively well. At least, it was much better than the people outside.

After the other villagers heard that Zhang Village was protected by a powerful cultivator, they also brought their families and came to seek refuge.

Zhang Village was very big, and the people who came did not expect to live here. They only wanted a place to hide.

In this regard, the good Old Zhang opened the door and let the villagers in. The villagers' lives were not easy, and the cold weather and the disaster made their lives even more difficult.

Moreover, because they came in a hurry, they did not have many things on them. At most, they would have some jerky, which would be gone soon.

Old Zhang and Bing 'er took out their family's winter food and gave it to the villagers. The villagers knew how to be grateful and ate very little every meal. They also knew that Old Zhang's family did not have many things.

In this regard, Zi Chen only watched and did not intend to help. Although he was awake, his injuries had not completely healed and he still needed to cultivate.

There were battles outside all day, so Zhang Feng gave up on the idea of looking for the Mortal Essence Fruit. He stayed here and waited for the fruit to ripen.

During this time, some villagers went out to get food from their original homes. At the same time, they told their relatives the news, which led to more villagers coming to Zhang Village.

Zhang Village was not big, and Zi Chen's light shield did not cover a large area. Soon, it became crowded. However, the area around Zi Chen was empty, and the villagers did not dare to disturb him. When they looked in his direction, their eyes were full of gratitude and respect.

They knew that the cultivator here was protecting them.

As more and more people came, the light shield became narrower. Old Zhang could not bear to see the villagers in such a miserable state, but he did not say anything. Bing 'er, on the other hand, came in front of Zi Chen when she came back. She did not say anything and just looked at him.

Feeling Bing 'er's gaze, Zi Chen opened his eyes and looked back at her.

The two did not say anything and just stared at each other. In the end, Zi Chen admitted defeat. "This place is too big, and there are too many villagers. You can't save everyone."

Bing 'er did not answer and just looked at Zi Chen. Zi Chen said helplessly, "Even if you let them all stay, what about food? It's freezing here, and they will die without food."

Bing 'er still did not answer and just looked at Zi Chen.

In the end, Bing 'er won the battle. Zi Chen waved his sleeve and the golden light shield expanded by half its original size.

"Yay, I won."

Bing 'er stood up and waved her little fist at Zi Chen. Then, she walked quickly to Zi Chen and kissed him on the cheek.

Zi Chen was stunned. Bing 'er smiled and said, "I knew it, you are the best."

With that, Bing 'er ran into the room. After closing the door, she turned around and leaned against the door. Her face was red, and her heart was beating fast. Even when she patted her chest, she could not suppress it.

Finally, she stuck out her tongue. Her face was still hot, but her heart was filled with happiness.
