Buying and Selling
King Hui Mu's eyes narrowed sharply when he saw the Sky Whale King momentarily lose consciousness. So powerful! This was terrifying! Was this even a human feat?
King Hui Mu was no stranger to the world. With his peak Feng Wang strength, he had witnessed the actions of many soul masters. However, in most cases, it took a struggle before the enemy could be rendered unconscious for a short time.
In such a short time, this "Absolute" attack had completely knocked the Sky Whale King unconscious with just one move. This was terrifying! Now he was starting to think that the previous attacks by "Absolute" were just bait. Fortunately, before he could even carry out his robbery plan, Lu Yan'an's strength had been fully revealed to him!
Setting aside his apprehension, King Hui Mu unleashed his divine power. His strength was close to the Peak King, and after the Divine Power Burning, his attack intensity completely surpassed the Peak King -level realm, reaching the limit of the Feng Wang!
Furthermore, since his attacks can directly strike the unsuspecting Divine Body, they can naturally shake the Soul Seal within, producing an annihilation effect.
Ah~
A bloodcurdling roar erupted, but the Sky Whale King remained unconscious.
Seeing this, King Hui Mu dared not harbor any further thoughts about Lu Yan'an. He was too strong. Facing such an opponent, the question was no longer how to successfully eliminate him, but rather how to withstand his Soul Attack for even a second longer to ensure his will did not succumb!
At this moment, Lu Yan'an was like a fog in his mind, making him unable to see clearly. Although they could now be considered comrades-in-arms, he had still harbored some inappropriate feelings for him. He was truly grateful for his caution; having such an opponent would have been a lifelong Dream Demon!
As he pondered this, his subordinates showed no mercy in their attacks against the Sky Whale King! It should be understood that in a life-or-death crisis, the will of life becomes extremely concentrated, potentially allowing one to break free from the secret technique.
After all, this was a Peak King, and even half of his wealth would be enough to make him rich!
"You..." The snake demon Hart looked at the Sky Whale King with great fear, then turned its head as if to flee. It really did not expect that Lu Yan'an was actually a Soul Master. If it had known earlier, it would never have come! Although the two had already started fighting, and even fought to a standstill at one point, the intimidation of a Soul Master was not limited to that.
The Feng Wang of Soul Master isn't based on divine power at all. Without soul-defense treasures, these enemies are almost impossible to defeat, making battles extremely dangerous and entirely dependent on luck!
This was truly outrageous for the Sky Whale King. It never imagined that the seemingly insignificant, barely-captured Feng Wang described in the Military System was actually a Soul Master! It also never expected that the brief encounter it had with the probe would turn this unremarkable, barely-captured Feng Wang into someone it could never hope to reach!
Its black serpentine shadow coiled and fled, just as arrogant as it had been when it arrived. The more arrogant it was when it came, the more pathetic it looked as it ran away! A black lightning bolt disappeared into the distance amidst the red and blue thunder.
Lu Yan'an did not choose to pursue. Although he was confident that his Soul Attack could kill the snake demon, his purpose was to hone his close combat skills. As for the soul attack, he might not have shown it if he hadn't promised King Hui Mu that he would help.
After all, even he himself hadn't expected that a Monster Race at the Peak King level would have no resistance whatsoever against his soul-based secret technique!
"This is the terrifying effect of Heart Power! The direct impact on the will is the true path of illusion. The development of illusion in this universe has gone astray from the very beginning!" Lu Yan'an said with great emotion. He turned his head and saw that the fish was still not awake, and it only had 30% of its Divine Body left.
"King Hui Mu!"
King Hui Mu, who was already attacking the Sky Whale King with complicated feelings, turned to look at Lu Yan'an with a puzzled expression when he heard Lu Yan'an message. "Jue, what's wrong? Didn't we say that after killing him, all his property would be divided equally?"
Lu Yan'an smiled and waved his hand. With a flash of his long sword, the fish's Divine Body instantly dropped to 10%. Only then did he speak softly to King Hui Mu.
"This fish is at the Peak King; killing it would be a waste! Have you ever heard of a method called 'the trade of servants'?"
"A transaction involving servants?" King Hui Mu's expression froze for a moment, then he looked completely bewildered! In all his years of traversing the Outer Region Battlefield, he had never heard of directly buying and selling servants who had lost their divine power. Moreover, judging from what Lu Yan'an said, this seemed to have become a very popular way of trading!
Lu Yan'an continued, "I know some friends who might choose to buy such a servant, since although the body may be damaged, it can eventually recover."
"This fish has now reached the Peak King strength, and only possesses 10% of the Divine Body. I believe many High King beings would be willing to spend this enormous sum for a Peak King fighter!"
Currently, he only possesses 10% of his Divine Body. It will take five stages to fully recover from 10%. First, he must awaken from his slumber, which takes the longest time and allows the Divine Body to recover slowly over an extremely long Years. Second, he must recover from 15%-20% to 30%, which is the weakest stage, with only one percent of his strength remaining. Recovery from this stage is also very lengthy.
A 30% to 50% threshold...
A 50% to 70% threshold...
A hurdle between 70% and 90%...
Reaching 90% recovery is considered barely enough to restore strength, and the five stages will likely take at least tens of millions of epochs. Of course, all of this time can be shortened by accumulating resources! If you really don't want to wait that long, you can pay for it. In any case, a Peak King combatant is a valuable asset no matter where you are!
"Alright! Do as you wish." King Hui Mu shrugged, looking helpless. After all, he was just an ordinary bandit. Although he was quite strong, he had very few friends. Faced with Lu Yan'an's suggestion, he didn't have any other ideas for the time being.
"That's settled then! Once you sell this fish, just transfer the corresponding Hunyuan Unit to my account. We even added each other as friends in the Virtual Universe." As soon as he finished speaking, King Hui Mu turned and left, clearly trusting Lu Yan'an completely.
Actually, he couldn't help but feel uneasy! Facing someone who could crush him with a flick of his wrist, there was no point in thinking so much. It was better to act carefree and make Lu Yan'an think more highly of him.
Lu Yan'an narrowed his eyes as he watched the direction the man had left in, then headed straight back towards the direction where the King Shenmu had been.
In truth, he was fully aware of King Hui Mu's inappropriate ulterior motives! But since he had important matters to attend to over there, he didn't want to get into a power struggle with these scheming individuals. He believed that his current display of strength should have a deterrent effect.
However, the most important thing right now is the inheritance of the Secret Pattern within the Five Elements Squad. What's giving him a real headache is how to explain his strength to the King Shenmu! He also doesn't know how to explain it. He clearly only displayed an aura at the level of a barely Feng Wang expert, so why was he still able to chase after the Sky Whale King and the King Tianxie? Why was he able to use Teleportation?
His innocent and harmless image was in danger of being exposed for the first time in front of the King Shenmu! Fortunately, the King Shenmu did not witness Lu Yan'an's pursuit of the Sky Whale King and his confrontation with the snake demon Hart. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain these issues, especially the situation of a soul master!
No one wants to face a master-level Soul Feng Wang; that's even more unacceptable than someone hiding their true strength at the peak of their Feng Wang!
