From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality novel Chapter 16

The more he thought about it, the more certain Andrew became that his only alternative was to use a secret weapon to deal with Zen! Andrew took out a small box from his pocket. It was the size of a clapper. It was engraved with a trail of glittering symbols. He aimed the front of the box at Zen and quickly pressed the trigger behind the box. At the same time, Andrew roared, "Go to hell!"

When Andrew took out the small box, Zen was startled. As the former young master of the Luo Clan, he knew that the box was the Thunder Rob Halberd, one of the best defensive weapons in the family!

It was a secret weapon made by a talisman. A powerful thunderbolt was sealed inside the Thunder Rob Halberd. It could deliver an instant kill to the enemy with a surprise attack.

But it was meant for single use only. It was most certainly very expensive. Thus, it was given to the younger generation of the family for personal defense.

'Andrew is so sinister and vicious that he will attack me with such a nasty thing when desperate.' Zen thought. Strong as his body was, he would never be spared by the Thunder Rob Halberd.

Just as this thought flashed through Zen's mind, a thunder halberd formed, and lightning burst out of the Thunder Rob Halberd. It was headed straight for Zen.

Zen nimbly rolled on the ground at the critical moment to dodge the attack. The lightning released from the Thunder Rob Halberd flashed over his head with a deafening crackling sound, burning a few strands of his hair.

Then, a slave outside the arena screamed. The thunder halberd had hit him. Instantly, a fierce fire spread across his body. The fire turned the slave to ashes.

Everyone paled at the sight of the slave's misery. Andrew had gone too far this time. His Thunder Rob Halberd could have hit anyone in the arena. What if it hadn't hit the slave, but it hit a Luo child instead? Andrew had never taken the lives of the rest of the Luo family seriously.

Zen rose from the ground. His face was stony and cold. He clenched his fist and said, "You have been hitting me for so long. Are you satisfied? It is my turn, right?"

"No!" Seeing the sudden power change in the arena, Ken Luo screamed and jumped down from the high stands. He had discovered the anomalies of Zen's body. It had to be a conspiracy that helped Zen live for so long.

Unfortunately, though Ken Luo was fast, he had to travel a long distance to get to the arena. The time it took for Ken to get there was sufficient for Zen to pounce on Andrew and attack him.

"Purple Fist Strength!"

Before Andrew could process what had happened, Zen punched him. The punch hit key parts of Andrew's body. The muffled sounds of seven instantaneous explosions came from Andrew's body.

"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang."

After the muffled sounds, seven areas on Andrew's body began to bleed. Zen had aimed for the roots of both arms and legs, as well as other important parts.

These injuries would not endanger Andrew's life, but he wouldn't be able to cultivate for the rest of his life.

Just one fist!
