Volume 4: Tianya Mountain Range - Powerful Figures Gather Like Clouds
Zhang Xingfeng appeared instantly above the Tuoba Family's residence, surrounded by white clouds, his silver hair flowing freely, truly like a celestial being.
Zhang Xingfeng was suddenly startled because his Spiritual Sense detected that there were actually four other people high in the sky!
In the Cultivation World, only those who reach the Nascent Soul Realm can fly, and those who reach the Golden Core Stage can wield Flying Sword. But in this Mortal World, are there really people who can forge flying swords? Flying Sword, however, require at least the tempering fire of a Golden Core cultivator. And are there really people in the Mortal World who can refine a Golden Core? It's impossible to cultivate a Golden Core through martial arts, let alone refine Flying Sword, which requires materials and skills!
If these people can fly, that's incredible. Sky Soaring Technique are kept secret in the Cultivation World, and each sect has its own unique Sky Soaring Technique with varying effects. Some are fast, some are slow. But are there people in the Mortal World who can Sky Soaring Technique? Zhang Xingfeng was a little troubled. He had never imagined that there would be so many experts in the Mortal World!
Fortunately, Zhang Xingfeng's Chaos Power was far superior to his True Primordial Energy, so it seemed that none of them had noticed him. Zhang Xingfeng had no choice but to pretend to be mute and look towards the chaotic Tuoba Family.
"Why did you all kill members of my Tuoba Family?" Tuoba Feng stopped when his attempt to break through failed and questioned the masked men around him.
"The Latent Dragon Chart is not something you, Tuoba Feng, can control. You'd better hand it over, or the Tuoba Family will be destroyed in your hands!" An old voice rang out as he slowly stepped forward.
"Second Elder, don't be nervous. This Latent Dragon Chart is not something your Esoteric Sect can take away!" a masked man who seemed to be radiating dark light said slowly.
The Second Elder stopped and looked at the black-clad man shrouded in black light, saying, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, it seems you have broken through to the Divine Realm. I, however, have not yet reached that level. Back then, we were Second Elder at the First-grade realm; I never imagined the gap would be so vast!" The Second Elder sighed deeply, filled with emotion. He clearly recalled the martial arts competition two hundred years ago, when Death God, with its powerful attacks, narrowly defeated him, propelling the Zhang Family's business into the Yuan Mongolia.
"Death God, don't think your Zhang Family can seize the Latent Dragon Chart. Hmph!" A thin-faced old man with cold eyes said coldly.
"Brother Yuwen, don't get so angry! Let's get the Latent Dragon Chart first. We shouldn't fight amongst ourselves!" The fat man, the head of the Shi Family, stepped forward. The Shi Family head looked at the old man with a hint of disdain. Only the Yuwen Family's ancestor was somewhat decent; this old fellow was only at the Heavenly Realm and yet so arrogant. It seemed he wouldn't live much longer!
"You are all highly respected figures on the Azure Dragon Continent, how dare you bully my Tuoba Family today?" Tuoba Feng, that fool, still wanted to use his reputation to intimidate the experts in front of him.
A flash of black light appeared in Death God's eyes.
Tuoba Feng was horrified to discover that the boundless Killing Intent Death God was surging toward him, and his proud Heavenly Realm was utterly powerless to resist it.
The Killing Intent aura surged like waves, relentlessly assaulting Tuoba Feng. He tried desperately to resist, but found himself caught in the turbulent waters, struggling to breathe. The Killing Intent grew stronger, and sweat poured down Tuoba Feng's body. None of his men could help him.
Suddenly, everything fell silent. The terrifying Killing Intent vanished as if it had never existed. Tuoba Feng immediately braced himself with his sword! He looked at the Death God before him in terror, then at his clothes dripping wet. He was horrified. The Death God had rendered him dehydrated and powerless without even lifting a finger! No wonder he was the world's number one assassin. For a hundred years, his position as the world's number one assassin had never been shaken!
"You have no right to interrupt us while we're talking!" Death God's words were devoid of any emotion, extremely cold, and those who heard them felt a chill run down their spines.
***********
The sky above the Tuoba Family's house.
"Mr. Zuo, look at this guy Death God's skills, they seem to have caught up with our group of old fogies. If one of your disciples were to fight Death God, who would win?" A calm, serene and peaceful voice rang out.
Zhang Xingfeng's Spiritual Sense immediately conjured up the image of a kind-looking old monk with white eyebrows.
"Elder Zhi, do you really think that those who Entering the Dao through Martial Arts can compare to us?" The voice was very clear, like that of a child.
"Why aren't you two making a sound? Don't we deserve to make you speak? Hmm... one seems to be from the Esoteric Sect, but his aura doesn't match Mu Luo's, and he doesn't have the same level of skill as that old Mu Luo. And the other one... hmm... no... impossible... you're Demon Cultivation, kid?" Mr. Zuo's voice suddenly rose, his eyes flashing with divine light, shooting straight at a cluster of white clouds not far away.
"Mr. Zuo, are only those from your Demon Hall allowed to Demon Cultivation arts? You'd better not mess with me, or else... hmph!"
Zhang Xingfeng was suddenly stunned, but in an instant, the anger in his heart surged wildly like a volcanic eruption. However, Zhang Xingfeng's face became even colder.
"This humble monk, Tianwei, is the Grand Elder of Esoteric Buddhism. I greet Elder Zhi of the sacred Shaolin Mr. Zuo of the Demonic Sect Temple, the sacred site of the Demon Hall. And to the gentleman beside me, please forgive my limited knowledge." A peaceful voice rang out across the sky.
Mr. Zuo seemed taken aback by the stranger's arrogance, and suddenly chuckled, "What you say seems to be true. There are indeed many methods of cultivating Demon Cultivation. Your cultivation method is indeed different from that of my Demon Hall. Please forgive my rudeness!" The childlike, clear voice uttering such refined words was indeed strange, but none of the people here felt that way.
The stranger quieted down. Mr. Zuo held a position second only to the Demonic Sect in the Demon Hall, and his skill was exceptionally high. The fact that he would apologize to him made him sigh. No wonder the Demonic Sect had been able to survive for so long. Mr. Zuo, from the Demon Hall's holy land, was so patient.
"Haha... Mr. Zuo modest. I apologize for what I said earlier. Oh, everyone, please take a look at what's below!" The stranger suddenly became humble, completely different from his previous arrogance, as if he were not the same person.
Everyone looked down, but Zhang Xingfeng's Spiritual Sense were mostly focused on the stranger.
*********************************
"Fine, since you're bullying my Tuoba Family like this, then fine. Form the formation!" Tuoba Feng suddenly roared, and nearly two-thirds of the experts behind him rushed forward.
"The Black Tortoise Bronze Wall Iron Barrier Formation!" the old man from the Yuwen Family suddenly exclaimed in shock.
No wonder he was shocked. The Black Tortoise Bronze Wall Iron Barrier Formation is the strongest defensive formation, but it also has very demanding conditions. Most importantly, it requires at least 108 experts at the Innate Stage, and there is an additional condition: the power of the 108 people must be roughly the same! If someone's power is much higher, it will cause the entire formation to lose its balance! 108 Innate Master with roughly the same power are not easy to recruit!
Almost everyone was amazed by the strength of this earl Aristocratic Clan, but even so, they couldn't stop these top experts from the Azure Dragon Continent.
Tuoba Feng didn't seem stupid; instead of having his 108 men surround everyone, he intercepted the pursuers from behind.
"Second Plan!" Suddenly, Tuoba Feng roared, and more than thirty experts from the Tuoba Family rushed off in different directions, each holding a map!
The experts from the major Aristocratic Clan immediately began their attack. The strongest expert here was the Death God, who had broken through to the Divine Realm, along with nearly ten other experts at the Divine Realm, the Second Elder of the Esoteric Sect, Gu Qi, who had just reached the Divine Realm, and several mysterious figures from the Li Family, among others.
Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh. He had thought that the Divine Realm was the pinnacle of the Azure Dragon Continent. It seemed that he didn't have the power to know all this back then. Just today, there were nearly ten Divine Realm experts below him, and four experts were right next to him. The stranger and the Second Elder of the Esoteric Sect were both at the Nascent Soul stage, Mr. Zuo seemed to have reached the mid-stage of the Soul Separation Nascent Soul Realm, and Elder Zhi seemed to have reached the Soul Separation- stage of the Soul Transformation realm!
Fortunately, Zhang Xingfeng's Chaos Power was much higher, allowing him to see it. Zhang Xingfeng Spiritual Sense was closely observing the stranger when Zhang Xingfeng suddenly sensed the stranger flying away with lightning speed! The speed was astonishing!
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Xingfeng's eyes, and a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth. He rode the Purple Blade with even greater speed as he charged toward the stranger!
Elder Zhi and Mr. Zuo, observing the speed of the two, exchanged speechless glances. Such speed was beyond their ability to pursue!
Zhang Xingfeng only achieved that speed by using the Purple Blade, which is Top-grade Immortal Artifact. How could a stranger who is only at the Nascent Soul Realm have such a strong speed?
