Chapter 717 - 499: One Dragon, One Elephant
Wei Fan hadn’t anticipated that not only the old man’s status rose, but this young man also had his own agenda.
The Wang family evidently held a determination to ensure his death. Even though he only appeared to have recently entered the Dharma Realm, a powerhouse capable of killing newbies in the Dharma Realm had been arranged by the Wang family, along with a Great Saint powerhouse whose Dao had condensed to ten thousand feet.
"Impressive, even at such a time you’re still thinking about slaying demons and fiends. Wiping out these Golden-winged Sparrows and killing the Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon; I can’t tell if you’re compassionate or just plain foolish!"
Wang Tai clapped his hands as he and Wang Chuan Sect tread the void towards him.
Previously, when Wei Fan slew the Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon, they all thought Wei Fan was trying to muddy the waters, but when he reappeared and slew the Golden-winged Sparrows at Wutong Ridge, it became clear he simply wished to rid the world of demons and fiends, protecting the lives of the Human Race.
Of course, he didn’t admire Wei Fan, merely thought there was something wrong with his head.
"I’ve been waiting for you for days, and you finally came!" Wei Fan suddenly became energized; dispatching these two would earn him a million in Ordinary Power, and thirteen thousand years of Martial Saint’s Power.
With these over a million years of Ordinary Power, his confidence in enhancing the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell significantly increased.
Wang Tai was taken aback, "You knew we were coming, looks like you’re not truly foolish. I’m just curious what kind of confidence makes you unafraid of the Wang family.
The Demon Hunter Organization? No one will come to rescue you. For the Human Race, the Wang family and Zhou family’s significance far outweighs a yet-to-mature prodigy like you. Even if we never fend off demon fiends, they would not turn against the Zhou and Wang families for you.
Moreover, those who truly wish you dead aren’t just our two families."
It could be said that any power eyeing the Venerable Phoenix Body all wished for Wei Fan’s death; only with his death would everyone have the chance to covet the Venerable Phoenix Body. He might be a Demon, but not to the point where the demise of the Human Race would result.
The main thing is, only by his death would they have a chance, much like the Xuanyuan family. Many people wished eagerly for Wei Fan’s quick demise, but they knew they couldn’t act against him, so they chose to refrain from participating.
Other forces had the same thought, regardless of the family’s reputation, unafraid of bearing the crime of slaying Human Race heroes and geniuses, but they knew whoever acted to kill Wei Fan, the Venerable Phoenix Body might also despise that family, losing the competition for the Venerable Phoenix Body.
Now that someone’s willing to act against Wei Fan, they only need to watch from the sidelines, avoiding offending the Venerable Phoenix Body while achieving their goals, why wouldn’t they do so?
They could even annihilate those who killed Wei Fan later to flatter the bereaved Venerable Phoenix Body, gaining twofold benefits.
Wei Fan raised his eyebrows, "I also wonder if you’ve considered the consequences of failing to kill me, have you figured it out? So many want me dead, yet only you emerge, really think if you fail to kill me, everything ends?"
Anyone who looked into his growth trajectory would know that once offended, the consequence, if he lived, would be extermination.
"What do you take the Martial Emperor Family for? An undeserved name? I alone can vanquish you, let alone with a Great Saint powerhouse holding the line; today, you won’t escape even with wings."
As he spoke, Wang Tai turned to Wang Chuan Sect beside him and cupped his hands, "Uncle, I wish to vanquish him alone, to build my invincible momentum, please permit it!"
If he could slay a nineteen-year-old Saint Realm prodigy, it would greatly impact his mental state, and his Will Power would undergo a qualitative transformation.
Although many didn’t think Wei Fan was truly a world-shocking talent, once fame spread, the slaying would yield great benefits.
"Alright!"
Wang Chuan Sect nodded, he hadn’t spoken from start to finish, for he didn’t even regard Wei Fan, merely a Condensing Dao Martial Saint, though possessing Dharma Realm combat power, he was an ant easily crushed by a Great Saint powerhouse from the Martial Emperor Family.
He also understood that killing a nineteen-year-old Saint Realm powerhouse benefited one’s mental state; had he not been old, he would personally have struck Wei Fan. Only a youthful person like Wang Tai reaping the benefits by killing Wei Fan made sense.
"Think of me as a whetstone to refine your blade, raise your mental state by killing me, aren’t you afraid the blade would break under such refinement?"
Wei Fan lightly tapped his foot, shattering the cosmos, his body fell into the Void World, beckoning with a hook, "Come rolling over for your slaughter, let me see the Xining Royal Family’s prowess; the ones I butchered last time were too weak, they died before I could warm up."
Wang Tai’s eyes turned cold, "You court death!"
Triple Wei Fan had slaughtered three Dharma Martial Saints of the Wang family, among whom Wang Jin Yao was his own elder brother, another reason the Wang family chose him to kill Wei Fan. Mentioning the Profound Lady Pavilion again instantly provoked his murderous intent.
It should be known the Profound Lady Pavilion incident involved the Wang family’s Imperial Soldiers being taken by Dragon Battle, causing the Wang family to bear the name of Martial Emperor Clan in vain, lacking its actual substance.
"Golden Emperor Demon-Subduing Palm!"
The Great Dao manifested, piercing through the heavens and earth, Wang Tai raised his hand for a strike, and a golden palm shattered the heavens, aiming at Wei Fan.
"Boom..."
The palm stretched to cover the heavens, exuding terrifying Dharma Martial Saint aura, shaking mountains into cracks, thoroughly altering the already once-destroyed Wutong Ridge.
The void shattered, Chaos Qi surged, like fragile eggshells.
"Boom!"
Yet Wei Fan casually threw a punch, reducing the palm to fragments, dispersing like ocean waves.
"You’ve grown this strong already!"
Wang Tai was shocked; he cultivated the Martial Emperor Technique left by the Wang’s Martial Emperor, himself a standout among his generation, otherwise, he wouldn’t seem not much older than Wei Fan.
Added by his years of breaking through the Dharma Realm, prolonged condensation of Dao to two thousand feet, this palm could annihilate most powerhouses who had just entered the Dharma Realm, yet Wei Fan casually obliterated his attack.
"Is this your so-called invincible stance to kill me? You don’t even dare to come near me, just a turtle’s stance!"
Wei Fan showed a mocking expression.
Although Wang Tai’s Condensing Dao reached two thousand zhang, he was wary of Wei Fan’s Body Ascension cultivation and only attacked from afar.
"No worries, with me holding the fort, feel free to go kill him!" Wang Chuan Sect spoke, giving Wang Tai confidence.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Wang Tai strode forward, allowing his aura to radiate unrestricted. Chains of Order appeared behind him, the aura of the Great Dao began to spread.
The Martial Emperor Divine Skill of the Wang Family within him operated frantically, absorbing the Power of the Great Path, emitting bright divine light that illuminated the entire Void World.
The Wang Family’s Martial Emperor Technique emphasizes overpowering ten opponents with one force. Of course, this force is not Physical Strength, but Dao Power.
Thus, the Dao Power of the Wang Family’s experts is more abundant than that of practitioners in the same realm, reputed to never deplete, not even if they battle for days and nights without worrying about exhausting strength.
After just a few steps, Wang Tai seemed like a sea of Dao Power, with waves surging around him, shaking the Void World.
"Golden Emperor Demon-Subduing Palm!"
With a roar, he shattered the sky, attacking Wei Fan with ocean-like Dao Power. The overwhelming force surged, forming a hand that covered the sky and sun.
Just like before, it was the same move, but the power was completely different. Wei Fan felt some pressure, as if resisting an ocean; Wang Tai’s aura surged like waves, each stronger than the last, and still increasing.
"The Martial Emperor Clan does have something."
If he hadn’t already broken through to the Divine Containment Realm, even using the Five Emperors Fist might not make him a match for Wang Tai.
"Boom!"
Blood Qi surged through the Void World and the real world, Wei Fan’s battle intent boiled.
Once he starts fighting, concealing his breakthrough to the Divine Containment Realm would be impossible, so he might as well fight freely; Wang Tai was also a rare adversary.
The Dao Patterns emerged, emitting a profound aura as if donning Tao Battle Armor.
"Divine Containment Realm!"
Wang Tai and Wang Chuanxuan exclaimed, showing ghostly expressions—breaking through to Divine Containment in less than three months, such talent was terrifying.
Outside world did not overestimate Wei Fan but underestimated this Demon, who had silently broken through to Divine Containment. With such terrifying cultivation speed, he could become a fearsome Martial Emperor Powerhouse in two to three years.
"This child cannot be left alive, or my Wang Family will be ruined by his hand!"
Wang Chuanxuan’s eyes were filled with murderous intent; Fortunately, the Wang Family is taking action early under the pressure of Dragon Battle Martial Emperor, or waiting longer might mean they couldn’t kill this Demon in the absence of the Imperial Divine Soldier.
"Rumble..."
Wei Fan, like a dragon breaking the sea, crashed into Wang Tai’s Dao Power ocean, his fist struck, sending the Great Sun plunging into the sea, burning a blank area; the Void World thundered with the Great Dao, Chains of Order stretched straight with signs of breaking.
"Demon-Subduing Palm? You folks are the real demons; don’t tarnish the name of Golden Emperor."
Wei Fan’s blood Qi surged like the ocean, his body emitting ten thousand rays of light, Dao Patterns continuously providing Divine Power to his Holy Body.
He soared skyward, shattering a land-like giant hand with two punches and engaged Wang Tai in close combat.
Wang Tai’s Dao Power was like tides, seemingly never depleting; even if Wei Fan defeated the Dao Power ocean and shattered the hand, it had no impact on him; the Great Dao behind still provided him an ocean of Dao Power.
Between them, it was as if there was an ocean; Wei Fan would need to penetrate the ocean to attack him.
Various attacks came at his fingertips, the attacks were endless.
"Body Ascension, you are just like that. Despite your unparalleled talent, without a background, you don’t even have a technique to utilize your talents."
With confidence, Wang Tai began to mock Wei Fan.
As his power spread freely, Wei Fan seemed somewhat overwhelmed, and Wei Fan repeatedly attacked without showcasing any impressive Martial Technique, leading Wang Tai to think Wei Fan had exhausted his skills.
"You spent all your time cultivating, didn’t you? What a fool, don’t you know Martial Techniques are also crucial for a Martial Artist?"
Martial Technique?
Wei Fan had merely intended to use Wang Tai as a whetstone, to stimulate the potential of his Divine Containment Realm physical body.
"Now the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill has cultivated one dragon and one elephant; the power remains unknown..."
But Wang Tai’s words reminded him; it was a good time to try out the power of the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Skill, Wang Tai in front was perfect, moreover, prolonged combat risked leaking information.
