I Can Replicate Martial Arts

Before the three of them could even steady themselves, an enraged, frantic roar echoed out.

Mo Longteng roared, "Demon Peng, what happened to my father?"

Quicker than words could describe, his entire body erupted in roaring flames. Like a scorching Fire Phoenix, he threw a punch into the void.

The punch was immensely powerful, seemingly capable of shattering space itself. Wherever it passed, spacetime seemed to twist and distort.

’Damn, he’s so fierce. He wasn’t just putting on an act earlier, was he?’

Zhao Rui grimaced, silently grumbling to himself.

’I didn’t get this Cultivation Technique when I copied his abilities earlier.’

"Your brother is incredible. What kind of Martial Arts is that? Do you know it?"

Zhao Rui asked, looking over at Mo Ling’Er.

"It was a unique opportunity for my brother; it’s not a family technique. I can’t do it."

"Oh!"

Just as Zhao Rui said that, he suddenly sensed an extremely faint aura behind him. He spun around, on guard, only to see four men in full armor lying on the ground not far away.

Mo Ling’Er noticed Zhao Rui’s strange reaction and looked back as well, her eyes widening in shock.

"It’s Uncle Liao and the others!"

With that, Mo Ling’Er rushed over to check on the four men.

Their auras were incredibly faint, like candles flickering in the wind. Only a sliver of consciousness remained within their Divine Souls.

Their True Qi was completely depleted, and even their Life Force was nearly gone.

It was clearly the result of being trapped by the Frying Pan Universe Technique.

Mo Ling’Er hurriedly activated her Witchcraft, channeling the unique life-restoring True Qi of a Witch Venerable to replenish their depleted True Qi and Life Force.

"Huh, who would’ve thought? You’re a Support!"

"What’s a Support?"

Mo Ling’Er shot him a glare, then quickly refocused her mind on helping the four men recover.

After his little joke, Zhao Rui said no more and looked up at the sky in the distance.

By now, Mo Longteng was already clashing with Wupeng Great Witch Venerable.

"Brat, you’re still too green. For your father’s sake, surrender now. Otherwise, when His Majesty holds you accountable, you won’t be able to handle the consequences."

"How dare you!"

Enraged, Mo Longteng suddenly manifested the spectral image of a Fire Phoenix behind him. The image solidified, spreading a pair of wings engulfed in scorching flames as it clawed toward Wupeng Great Witch Venerable.

"Golden Roc, manifest!"

Wupeng Great Witch Venerable was the Great Shang Dynasty’s foremost master of avian beasts; how could he possibly fear a fledgling Fire Phoenix?

He instantly manifested his true Golden Roc form. With a single flap of its wings, the flames of the Fire Phoenix wavered and flickered as if about to be extinguished.

Its giant beak pecked forward, spewing out countless Wind Blades that battered the Fire Phoenix, causing it to cry out in pain.

But the Fire Phoenix was no pushover. It flickered and vanished, reappearing on the Golden Roc’s back in the blink of an eye.

Its sharp talons raked toward the roc’s back.

The two birds battled in mid-air, a spectacular sight to behold.

Zhao Rui watched with gleaming eyes. A fight like this had already transcended the level of conventional Martial Dao.

It was remarkably similar in principle to his own Breaking Tribulation Sword Body Transformed Divine Dragon.

’Could it be that all these Cultivation Techniques and abilities were derived from the Wilderness Beasts?’

’In that case, it means creatures like the Fire Phoenix and the Golden Roc truly exist in Gui Xu.’

Zhao Rui felt this speculation was almost certainly correct.

Just as the two were locked in combat in the sky, a black ray of light shot over from the distance, striking the Fire Phoenix and causing it to stumble.

Mo Longteng’s transformed Fire Phoenix instantly unleashed its Fire Domain, enveloping an area dozens of miles in every direction.

But before his Domain could fully expand...

...the black light struck again, knocking Mo Longteng out of his transformed state.

Wu Peng seized the opportunity, twisting back around. Its giant talons were about to snatch Mo Longteng.

Just then, a streak of sword light cut through the sky with Thunderous Force, striking its talon head-on.

"HISS!"

Wu Peng cried out in pain, its giant talon momentarily freezing. Mo Longteng seized the chance, transforming into a stream of light and escaping.

During this brief moment of battle, the four men Uncle Liao was with, who were being treated by Mo Ling’Er, slowly began to stir and wake up.

Seeing this scene, they were all overjoyed.

"Junior General, don’t fight them head-on! Retreat with us, quickly!"

They truly hadn’t expected Mo Longteng to fight back, especially when Mo Wuji had already surrendered.

It was simply too unexpected.

In fact, it wasn’t just them; Wupeng Great Witch Venerable’s side was also quite surprised.

They had originally thought that with Mo Wuji captured, Mo Longteng alone wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble, especially in a well-planned ambush.

The Frying Pan Universe Skill should have been more than enough to capture them.

Unfortunately, the best-laid plans often go awry, and they had managed to escape.

Not only had they escaped, but Mo Longteng’s Martial Arts were absurdly powerful, only a half-step weaker than Mo Wuji’s.

Furthermore, there was a mysterious person next to him whose Martial Arts were just as strong.

"Mo Longteng, are you trying to rebel?"

At that moment, a thunderous voice boomed from the heavens. The sound waves were so powerful they scattered the clouds in the sky.

"Your Majesty, my father and I have worked diligently to expand the borders of Great Shang. Even if we have no great merits, we have toiled tirelessly. Why have you imprisoned my father and ordered the capture of my sister and me?"

"I am the Human King. The words of the Human King are imperial edicts. As for whether you and your father are guilty, I will render a fair judgment after the authorities have conducted their investigation."

The voice drew closer, and a moment later, Prince Zi Gui, clad in military attire, arrived, riding a colossal Exotic Beast.

Behind him was a dense mass of soldiers, several thousand strong.

These were no ordinary soldiers. The weakest among them were peak experts of the Divine Void Realm, and each one rode a Flying Beast.

This was his personal retinue, brought from Gui Xu—a protective force he had never been willing to send to the battlefield.

Such a massive force, used to capture Mo Longteng and his sister, seemed like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"What have I, your subject, done to deserve Your Majesty’s personal attention?"

Mo Longteng’s sharp gaze swept over Prince Zi Gui’s rapidly approaching army, then he glanced back at General Liao and the others, who had already recovered some of their vitality.

"Retreat!"

With that, he waved his hand and, taking his sister and the four generals including General Liao, transformed into a Fire Phoenix and shot into the sky.

The Fire Phoenix soared on its wings, trails of flame scattering from its body, looking exceptionally brilliant and dazzling in the night sky.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui didn’t hesitate. His sword light transformed into a dragon, catching up to the Fire Phoenix. A dragon and a phoenix soared through the heavens, becoming two streams of light flying west.

"Brother Wang, you are vainglorious and debauched, unable to distinguish right from wrong. You have allowed our ancestors’ foundation to be all but lost, and now you imprison meritorious subjects and execute the loyal without reason. Do you not know your crimes?"

Just then, a voice rang out abruptly from the heavens.

The moment the voice sounded, the entire sky fell silent.

Prince Zi Gui’s pupils widened slightly, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Chonghou? How are you...?"

"Thanks to your blessings, Your Majesty, this younger brother is unharmed."

Prince Zi Gui turned to look at Wupeng Great Witch Venerable behind him, stunned. The Great Witch Venerable wore an equally astonished expression.

"Damn it!"

"Chonghou, you hypocrite!"

"I won’t let you get away with this!"

Although he didn’t know how the other had escaped, Prince Zi Gui realized in that moment that he had been played by King Chonghou.

’That bastard must have been planning to rebel all along.’

’He just waited, refusing to make the first move. He waited for me to act first, making me the villain, so he could take this step with an air of righteous indignation.’

"Brother Wang, you are the one who should be repenting in the Ancestral Hall!"

Not long after this voice faded, a massive banner that blotted out the sky suddenly unfurled in the distance, snapping fiercely in the wind.

The enormous word "Chonghou" on the banner radiated a golden light.

As soon as the banner appeared, the entire sky was enveloped by a profound and mysterious power.

Looking closely, one could see the great banner was actually composed of countless Little Flags.

Mo Longteng was overjoyed at the sight and quickly led Zhao Rui down into the flag formation.

"Greetings, Marquis King!"

Mo Longteng quickly knelt on one knee in salute.

Emerging from within the flag formation were none other than King Chonghou and Mo Wuji, the very men who were supposed to be imprisoned.

"Rise, Longteng. I knew I wasn’t mistaken about you."

King Chonghou smiled and made a gesture to help Mo Longteng to his feet.

"It is only what your subject ought to do."

Mo Longteng replied in a clear voice, clasping his fists in salute.

"Haha! With the help of you and your father, how could my great cause possibly fail!"

"And the four generals, you have all suffered!"

King Chonghou helped General Liao and the other three, who were beside Mo Ling’Er, to their feet, his face full of concern.

"We are unharmed, Your Highness! For the eternal foundation of Great Shang, we would not shy away from ten thousand deaths!"

"Good, good!"

The smile on King Chonghou’s face suddenly vanished. He looked toward Prince Zi Gui in the distance, his eyes narrowing as he called out, "Brother Wang, this battle won’t be like when we were children!"
