Bang! Bang! Bang!
A golden streak carried Wenren Shangzhi away, smashing through several towering mountains along the shore before driving him into the ground ten thousand li inland.
Zhang Yuan hovered in midair with his sword in hand and looked down.
As the dust cleared, Wenren Shangzhi came into view. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his aura somewhat unsettled.
"Hm?"
Zhang Yuan was immediately surprised.
He had used Golden Carriage Luan Chariot to knock Wenren Shangzhi away so that they could leave the main battlefield and keep the fallout of their fight from reaching the Magic Ship. He had never expected that single collision to actually injure Wenren Shangzhi.
Was he deliberately showing weakness to make me lower my guard?

Wenren Shangzhi wasn't stupid enough to resort to such a clumsy scheme. That injury was real.
But how was that possible...
Although Golden Carriage Luan Chariot struck hard at full speed, it was a skyflight divine ability, not a slaughter divine ability. Wenren Shangzhi was also a True Dragon at Celestial Person Perfection, with a body as tough as a Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure.

The Great Void's bearings had been obscured, but the conceptual principle behind Wenren Shangzhi's Dragon-Shift Great Marsh Mountain
