Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

The fat old man was all smiles.

The performance of Master Tianshui and Duan Heming made him see potential, and also see the Black Water Star Domain Alliance’s resolve to oppose the Shen Family.

Regardless of success or failure.

At this moment, they could not allow the situation to escalate any further.

However, Qiankunzi and the others all understood the Upper Alliance’s way of handling affairs; a temporary reconciliation could not solve the problem, let alone when Zhao Rushuang had come in so aggressively.

Even if they were willing to pull back, the Shen Family would not let it go.

Thus, when the fat old man made a move to catch Zhao Rushuang’s power, Qiankunzi swiftly released Soul Power, shattering the balance of Zhao Rushuang’s power.

"Old Qian!"

The fat old man, Zhou Hong, was caught off guard; he never imagined Qiankunzi would strike from the shadows and seize the chance to sneak attack Zhao Rushuang.

"Roar!"

Duan Heming also didn’t hesitate in the slightest, once again condensing Law Power into Swordsmanship, swiftly cleaving toward the red‑clothed woman. To this moment Zhang Lingfeng still couldn’t figure out whether Duan Heming’s Skills could break free of Shen Rufeng’s Law constraints because his Five Elements Laws had reached the Perfection Realm, or because there was some other Power assisting him.

In any case, he could clearly feel that Duan Heming’s Qi Fortune had always been in a state of being stripped away.

Unlike himself—whether it was Skills, Laws, or Power, even Qi Fortune—everything had already broken free of Shen Rufeng’s Law constraints.

"Boom!"

That expert who had previously had his fleshly body smashed to pieces by Master Tianshui, leaving only his Nascent Soul body, and had been taken in by the Shen Family—his Nascent Soul suddenly exploded, turning to dust on the spot.

It was Master Tianshui striking once more.

By fusing Soul Power and Laws, he forcibly tore the opponent’s Nascent Soul body into fragments.

It turned out Qiankunzi and Master Tianshui and the others had long since made their plans; Zhao Rushuang’s descent this time was for the purpose of eliminating the few of them, to ensure that within the Black Water Star Realm no one could break Shen Rufeng’s Law.

Since things had reached this point, how could they possibly show any mercy.

Why not just overturn the table right in front of the Upper Alliance.

Once Zhao Rushuang and the others were killed by them in front of the Upper Alliance members, the Upper Alliance would either help the Shen Family deal with them, or shelter them to oppose the Shen Family to the very end.

They were all members of the Alliance, after all.

Qiankunzi was gambling—gambling that the Upper Alliance would not abandon the Black Water Star Domain Alliance.

"What are you doing, stop!"

Zhou Hong’s expression changed drastically.

He hadn’t expected Qiankunzi and the others to pull a move like this.

"Whoever kills Zhang Lingfeng can become a core member of the Shen Family, obtain the Dharma Gate of the Third Major Cultivation System, share Qi Fortune with the Shen Family, and achieve Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation!"

Zhao Rushuang’s face was dark as she spoke rapidly.

She also hadn’t expected Qiankunzi to be so brazen, daring to sneak attack her.

Even before his Soul Power had undergone metamorphosis, he could already break the balance of Laws and bloodline; once his Soul Power transformed, he could directly devour Laws and bloodline. In the process of her entanglement with Zhou Hong, Qiankunzi’s Soul Power was like a spear thrusting straight in, directly wounding her Dao Seed.

It caused the radiance of her Nascent Soul to dim considerably.

At this moment she incited everyone to join in killing Zhang Lingfeng.

The few Upper Alliance members who had long failed to achieve Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation couldn’t help looking over at Zhang Lingfeng, but when they thought of their own status, and the strength of Zhou Hong and Qiankunzi and the others, they had no choice but to abandon all such thoughts.

They knew that even if they managed to kill Zhang Lingfeng right now, Qiankunzi would never let them go.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng was just a Golden Core Cultivator; for them, Dao Seed‑level experts, to make a move would only tarnish their reputation and standing.

But those Tianbang geniuses who had come along with Zhao Rushuang were different.

Zhang Lingfeng had been hailed as the youngest Soul Master in the Basic Star Realm, had destroyed Duan Shumo’s Golden Core, and attempted to break the Black Water Star Realm’s Law; his reputation was thunderous, unrivaled.

Even the number one and number two on the Tianbang, Duanmu Ci and Duan Zhou, would be overshadowed.

Right now, they too were within Zhao Rushuang’s group.

When the two heard Zhao Rushuang’s words, they remained calm throughout, not hastily making a move against Zhang Lingfeng, but the other Tianbang geniuses were another story—they rushed toward Zhang Lingfeng, scrambling to be first.

Tianbang tenth, Demon God scion, Qi Tong.

Tianbang ninth, Baruch Clan scion, Bao Fu.

And so on.

Aside from Duan Zhou and Duanmu Ci.

All the major Tianbang geniuses followed close behind.

Meanwhile, the Black Water Star Domain Alliance experts who had been summoned over by Qiankunzi and Master Tianshui, such as Bai Xinhe, at this moment did not make a move to stop these Tianbang geniuses from approaching Zhang Lingfeng.

He understood that not only did they need the Upper Alliance to see the Black Water Star Realm’s potential, they also needed Zhou Hong and the others to understand Zhang Lingfeng’s Ability—he absolutely possessed the Ability to break Shen Rufeng’s Law and return the Black Water Star Realm to the Alliance’s hands.

So long as those within the Tianbang were the ones striking at Zhang Lingfeng, Bai Xinhe would not intervene.

On this matter, Qiankunzi seemed to have communicated with Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng himself was not flustered.

He realized that although he seemed to be surrounded.

These Tianbang geniuses had not swarmed in all at once; not everyone had been taken in or won over by the Shen Family. Faced with someone daring to challenge the Shen Family’s authority, they were likewise full of respect.

Qi Tong ranked tenth.

He was the first to approach Zhang Lingfeng.

Under Shen Rufeng’s Law, his Laws could only be condensed into Saber Technique, which put him at a disadvantage; fortunately he had powerful sigils bolstering him.

"Buzz!"

Zhang Lingfeng didn’t bother to hide anything.

Mo Yun, who possessed Dao Seed Level strength, wasn’t even his match, let alone Qi Tong.

He released Perfection Level Soul Power.

His Soul Power had always been in an ascending state, increasing by 0.12 each day. It looked slow, but in truth, many a little makes a mickle—once the value surpassed one hundred percent, his Soul Power would undergo metamorphosis.
