Chapter 765 - 547: Emperor’s Secret Technique Clash
Zhou Wuchang, once renowned for dueling with Xuanyuan Peak, although defeated, retained his glory. After all, being able to battle such a figure and survive is something one could boast about for a lifetime.
Following Zhu Jincheng’s gaze, Wei Fan directly swept his heart spirit across, searching for Zhou Wuchang’s traces.
The powerful Great Saint heart spirit descended like a vast ocean, which would overwhelm an ordinary Saint Realm. Martial King powerhouses backed away in shock, and in the end, only a man around fifty stood there, his expression ashen.
"It’s Wei Ran!"
"Did this expert provoke him?"
"Hush... This is Zhou Wuchang from the Zhou Family. They’re likely going to fight. If you don’t want to die, retreat quickly."
Everyone looked at Wei Ran in surprise, seeing him emit power of heart and spirit so recklessly, clearly without any goodwill.
"Brother Wei... Ai!"
Zhu Jincheng was stunned, never expecting that after he warned "Wei Ran" to be cautious of Zhou Wuchang, "Wei Ran" would immediately cause trouble for Zhou Wuchang.
Wei Fan stepped through the air, a few steps brought him above Zhou Wuchang, looking down he said, "Were you sent by the Zhou Family to kill me? If you’re not making a move now, what are you waiting for? Until I’m alone?"
[Zhou Wuchang: Great Saint Realm, Martial Emperor Zhou Family elder, a Human Race Martial Saint but never protects the Human Race]
[Killing him, one could gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 10,000 Martial Saint’s Power]
"Wei Ran, don’t be so arrogant!"
Originally startled to realize Wei Ran might have been sent by the Demon Hunter Organization as bait for those who don’t resist the Demon Fiend forces, he was no longer planning to act against Wei Ran, especially given Wei Ran’s half-step Saint King combat strength, not someone he’d easily kill.
Zhou Wuchang’s face was exceedingly ashen, he never expected Wei Ran would proactively seek him out.
Now being questioned by Wei Ran in front of so many people, to maintain the dignity of the Martial Emperor Family, he couldn’t avoid provoking Wei Ran even if he wished otherwise.
Even more hateful was Wei Ran killing his family’s Zhou Chaowu, and before he could appear proactively, Wei Ran sought him out first, completely disregarding the Martial Emperor Zhou Family.
Having lived over two thousand years, this was the first time he encountered someone so brazen.
"The Demon Hunter Organization intends to strike against the Zhou Family!"
Meanwhile, his heart more confirms the previous suspicions, if not urgently targeting the Zhou Family, Wei Ran wouldn’t proactively provoke him.
Wei Fan’s expression was indifferent: "Me, arrogant? Wasn’t your journey from Mountain and Sea to Jinzhou to trouble me? Is this all the Zhou Family’s capability, doing things without admitting them?"
Zhou Wuchang ascended into the air, standing opposite Wei Fan: "Indeed here to trouble you. You killed our Zhou Family elder, please give a statement to the Zhou Family."
His aura began to surge, knowing he couldn’t continuously give way, a Great Saint of the Zhou Family had died, and now Wei Ran came to step on him, if there was no counter, the prestige of the Martial Emperor Family would surely be tarnished.
Wei Fan’s expression was no longer indifferent, and his aura became fierce: "Your Zhou Family elder Zhou Chaowu wanted to frame me and the Wang Family, being killed was his own fault. It’s your Zhou Family that should give me a statement!"
Everyone was in an uproar, "Wei Ran" indeed domineering, having killed a Great Saint elder of the Martial Emperor Family, yet instead demanding them to provide him a statement.
"He truly fears neither heaven nor earth, isn’t he afraid of going to war with the Martial Emperor Family?"
"The Zhou Family and Lingxu Cave are of the same nature, not protecting the Human Race, such a family, it wouldn’t be bad if Wei Ran leveled them."
"As expected, even the Martial Emperor Family can’t subdue Wei Ran."
...
Everyone showed a look of anticipation, watching Wei Ran’s domineering demeanor, feeling a burst of satisfaction.
"Arrogant!"
Zhou Wuchang was furious, Wei Ran even dared to demand the Zhou Family give him a statement: "Do you consider my Zhou Family to be made of mud? Anyone wanting to destroy my Zhou Family, we have the capability to make them pay a painful price."
He was certain that Wei Fan was intentionally let out by the Demon Hunter Organization to trouble the Zhou Family, thus he directly issued a warning.
Wei Fan was unaware Zhou Wuchang would think this way, and immediately made his move.
"Not giving me a statement, then I can only take it myself!"
He shook his body, a part of the void shattered, a huge crack spread out as the two fell into the Void World together.
"Boom!"
Wei Fan struck out with a palm from a distance, terrifying power transformed into a beam of light rushing out, sweeping towards Zhou Wuchang.
Heaven and earth trembled, the half-step Saint King’s power surged like a vast ocean, piercing through the firmament.
"What a madman!"
Zhou Wuchang was both shocked and furious, not expecting that although it was his Zhou Family member who was killed, the first to attack was Wei Ran.
"You’ve directed your arrogance at the wrong target!"
His body erupted with dazzling light, within it came a tsunami-like roar, the sound of his power surging.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
He pushed out both palms, scattering Wei Fan’s power, his entire body like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a sky-covering power rushing towards Wei Fan.
In an instant, the real world and the Void World were both submerged by divine light, countless Great Dao penetrated the real and void, everywhere was the sound of Chain of Order’s vibration.
"Indeed, a fight has broken out!"
"Could a battle involving the Martial Emperor’s Influence occur?"
"This Zhou Family expert actually possesses half-step Saint King combat power as well, truly worthy of being a Mighty Emperor Clan powerhouse!"
"He is Zhou Wuchang, having exchanged dozens of blows with Xuanyuan Peak two thousand years ago without dying, although not having pursued the ultimate path, who dares to underestimate him, his Saint Realm has reached completion for over a thousand years."
"To have actually fought against Xuanyuan Peak, no wonder you’re so formidable."
...
The great battle erupted quickly, beyond many people’s expectations. Wei Fan made a powerful move, intending to slay Zhou Wuchang to demand an explanation from the Zhou Family.
Zhou Wuchang was very strong, and even though he hadn’t cultivated the Martial Emperor Technique, he had been immersed in the realm of Saint Realm Perfection for over a thousand years, mastering various Martial Techniques to perfection.
His physical body was also honed to an extremely terrifying level, comparable to a Middle-Level Saint Soldier. In the short term, he could still contend with Wei Fan.
The two clashed rapidly, shattering the heavens, breaking several paths of the Great Dao, and causing the laws of the world to descend into chaos.
"The Martial Emperor Family has its means!"
Even Wei Fan was a bit surprised. Zhou Wuchang had not walked the path of extremity, yet could battle to this extent with him. Gaining fame for dueling Xuanyuan Peak was not all false reputation.
"You’re only at a path of over nine thousand zhang?"
Zhou Wuchang was even more astonished. In close combat, he felt Wei Fan’s real cultivation aura, with Dao height only over nine thousand zhang, and he wasn’t using any powerful Martial Arts Secret Techniques, just simple punches and kicks to contend with his Martial Emperor Family’s numerous secret techniques.
The terror of his combat power was simply inconceivable. The mysterious Dao Power nearly equaled the Power of the Great Path.
"Kill!"
Wei Fan began to get serious, his Will Power surging like a tide, the Chain of Order madly absorbing the Power of the Great Path, as paths of the Great Dao emerged behind him.
Profound Celestial Qi!
The Power of the Great Path surged, as laws interwove, and he emitted a cyan glow, beginning to evolve the Profound Celestial Power.
A mysterious aura emanated from him, resembling a Divine Mansion. With deepening cultivation and increasing Will Power, the evolved Profound Celestial Power became more profound, akin to the Divine Power.
Meanwhile, the Primordial Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness opened the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, scanning Zhou Wuchang’s entire being.
Everything in the world turned into lines and energy structures, time seemed to slow, Zhou Wuchang’s lightning-fast actions weren’t exactly snail-paced, but no longer as swift as before.
Of course, this wasn’t the Martial Arts Celestial Eye affecting time but rather that in this state, his Heart Spirit operated faster, increasing his own speed.
"Boom!"
The cyan light surged as a fist imbued with Profound Celestial Power struck, hitting the weakness in Zhou Wuchang’s cultivation technique.
"You..."
Zhou Wuchang’s expression changed dramatically; the operation of his power was instantly disrupted, the light on his body extinguished, and he flew back like a cannonball, blood splattering.
"Zhou Wuchang was defeated!"
Everyone was taken aback, unclear as to why Zhou Wuchang, who had been in an even confrontation, was suddenly punched away by Wei Fan, coughing blood and with a shocking fist print on his chest.
Of course, watching Great Saint Powerhouses clash was mere entertainment for the Martial Kings. They couldn’t even see the movements clearly, only the Saint Realm Powerhouses were the true audience.
"Wei Ran’s speed has increased!"
A Saint Realm Powerhouse shouted lowly, and they saw Wei Fan, like a flash of lightning, catch up with the retreating Zhou Wuchang, delivering a powerful punch.
This time, Zhou Wuchang coughed up a massive amount of blood, with sounds of bones cracking emerging from his body.
"All Heaven Stars Divine Armor!"
Zhou Wuchang shouted, starlight bursting from his body, emanating astonishing ripples.
"Boom boom boom..."
Pieces of Divine Armor surged from within him, brilliant with Dao Runes, rapidly assembling into a starlit Divine Armor, protecting his body, covering the vulnerabilities in his cultivation technique.
The Divine Armor gleamed vibrantly, as if containing a starry firmament, corresponding to the positions of the All Heaven Stars.
"This Divine Armor is stronger in defense when worn by the Zhou Family members!"
Known as the strongest defense, the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor wasn’t just for defense on the Zhou Family members.
Wei Fan calculated and knew the radiant Divine Armor didn’t merely cover the weaknesses in his cultivation technique and body, but also resonated with the Zhou Family’s techniques, significantly boosting Zhou Wuchang’s aura, rapidly healing his injuries.
In the sky, starlight shone with numerous stars manifesting, descending the Power of the Stars, absorbed by the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor.
Wei Fan delivered another punch, though he knocked Zhou Wuchang back, he couldn’t penetrate the outer defense of the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor.
"Do you really think my Zhou Family’s All Heaven Stars Divine Armor is only for defense?"
Zhou Wuchang shouted, his entire body surging with the Power of the Stars, his physique crystalline and clear.
His words were a response to Elder Mu’s earlier remark that the Zhou Family’s All Heaven Stars Divine Armor was a turtle shell meant only for taking hits. How could a Divine Armor designed by a Great Emperor be only for defense? Only Zhou Family members could truly unleash the power of the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor.
His aura was still soaring, with the Dao symbols on the Divine Armor resonating with the All Heaven Stars.
"Die!"
He extended a large hand, causing the All Heaven Stars to tremble, with the Power of the Stars flooding forth like massive beams, blasting Wei Fan back hundreds of zhang.
Wei Fan’s Qi Blood surged, though uninjured, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye’s capability was severely diminished. The All Heaven Stars Divine Armor had no apparent flaws, meaning the only way to kill Zhou Wuchang was through sheer power, without any tricks.
Yet, given his strength, even using the Yin-Yang Chaos Saber, there was little hope of killing Zhou Wuchang under the protection of the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor, unless he revealed other trump cards.
"Let me see if the All Heaven Stars Divine Armor can withstand the onslaught of the Emperor’s Secret Technique!"
Wei Fan’s eyes were sharp, wild hair dancing, and killing intent began to surge.
Without normal strength to slay Zhou Wuchang, relying on the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, before the identity of "Wei Ran" disappears, he was determined to slay a Great Saint of the Zhou Family once more.
