Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1039 - 523: For My Own Use! (Part 3)
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
Amidst a vast mountain range, a group of figures materialized.
"Here is my communication spirit talisman. The rest is up to you. I shall depart now!"
"Are you not concerned I might abscond?"
Li Mu expressed his surprise, not anticipating such a swift and decisive departure.
Chen Xuan responded with a smile, "There is no place for a senior like yourself in Great Yu, but I, however, do have a position for you!"
"Take this. It may prove useful in commanding the array!"
Li Mu presented an array map.
"My gratitude!"
With those words, the figure dissolved from sight before him.
Li Mu remained standing, lost in thought, his heart unable to find calm.
"Ancestor, who was that individual?"
"Depart!"
...
Overhead, in Yong’an Prefecture.
Zhan Tian’s body radiated with an intense brilliance, his demeanor filled with elation.
"Yes, this is the sensation!"
His heart pounded with exhilaration; the anticipated sensation had finally arrived.
Shi the Third delivered a punch to his shoulder, and Zhan Tian retaliated with a swift kick in return.
The two commenced a brutal close-quarters engagement, their forms a blur as they maneuvered through the air. Everywhere their battle raged, the very space itself fractured, and below them, the collateral damage from their clash reduced everything to utter devastation.
Even the two individuals from the Tree-man Race, positioned at the eighth layer’s zenith, hesitated to interfere.
After all, their physical forms were no match for the ferocity of these two combatants.
However, as the battle wore on, Zhan Tian sustained increasing injuries, while Shi the Third benefited from continuous restorative aid provided by the two Tree-man Race members, recovering instantaneously even after enduring crushing blows from Zhan Tian.
"Subdue him!"
"Today, he shall meet his end within Yong’an Prefecture!"
The adjacent Tree-man Race members seized the opportune moment, unleashing a verdant ring formation, aiming to ensnare Zhan Tian.
But....
"Bang!"
Zhan Tian’s fist impacted the spiritual power ring, obliterating it in an instant.
"Insolent cur, show some respect!"
He sent Shi the Third flying with a powerful punch and, in a swift motion, materialized before the Tree-man Race combatant.
"Experience the might of Grandpa Zhan Tian’s fist!"
In a flash, a multitude of punch shadows materialized.
"Begone!"
The Tree-man Race individual roared in fury, no longer holding back against Zhan Tian’s onslaught. He unleashed his full power, enveloped in a shroud of spiritual energy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang...."
Beneath the barrage of fist shadows, the spiritual power barrier disintegrated instantly, propelling him downwards towards the earth.
"Boom!"
A chasm, stretching a thousand meters deep, tore open in the ground.
"Bang!"
A figure erupted from the ravine, their body ravaged and covered in blood, yet regenerating with a speed that was plainly observable.
"Do you truly believe you can vanquish me?"
With a look of utter disdain, they fixed their gaze upon Zhan Tian.
Their race’s inherent regenerative capabilities rendered them virtually unkillable, unless faced with an immediate, fatal strike.
"Damn it, you’re as persistent as a bothersome leech!"
Zhan Tian felt a surge of irritation.
The effortless defeat of the previous peak eighth-layer expert was primarily due to the element of surprise he had employed.
As he had acknowledged, barring a single, decisive blow, vanquishing a member of the Tree-man Race was indeed a formidable challenge.
In the subsequent moment, he re-engaged Shi the Third, finding the sensation of battling him more agreeable.
Within the fracturing expanse, Chen Xuan’s cloaking abilities were employed to their absolute limit, his position constantly shifting as he maintained a safe distance from Zhan Tian. Any deviation, he knew, would result in exposure due to the unstable, fractured space.
His eyes emanated a sapphire glow, fixed intently on Zhan Tian.
The apertures, the jade bones, and the spiritual power coursing through him were all in a state of intense turmoil, yet had not reached their absolute peak.
"Just a little further."
Chen Xuan uttered softly. Shi the Third alone was insufficient to provoke the required surge, and the two peak eighth-layer Tree-man Race experts were deliberately restraining their power, merely providing Shi the Third with support through their healing abilities.
Had it not been for the impertinent words uttered earlier, which incited Zhan Tian’s ire, they would not have endured such a severe beating.
The array map Li Mu had previously bestowed upon him materialized in his hand as he delved into its intricacies.
"Just as I suspected!"
Previously, he had been perplexed by the purpose of this item. The array appeared to be defensive in nature, yet when its functions were inverted, it transformed into an offensive tool.
"It seems Li Mu had a contingency prepared all along."
An individual of his caliber would not readily become subservient. Were it not for the Li Family members held captive by both factions, he would not exhibit such compliance for the sake of the Human Race.
"Bolster Elder Zhan’s might!"
A roguish grin flickered across Chen Xuan’s face as he activated the array map.
Suddenly, the heavens above darkened ominously.
"Boom!"
Four bolts of lightning materialized from an unseen source, striking all four peak eighth-layer experts simultaneously.
"Pfft!..."
All four individuals simultaneously expelled blood, a testament to the formidable power of the array.
"What in the world is happening?"
Shi the Third stared in utter astonishment!
As for the two Tree-man Race experts, a look of palpable fear crossed their features.
From whence did this lightning originate!
Yet, despite being struck by the bolts, Zhan Tian visibly swelled with excitement.
"Exhilarating!"
"Hahaha..."
With maniacal laughter, reminiscent of a deranged individual, he instantly launched himself at Shi the Third.
"Hmph! Madman!"
Shi the Third spat the curse, and the pair plunged back into close-quarters combat.
"Hmm?"
Within the spatial rift, Chen Xuan manipulated the formation, commencing the slow process of gathering lightning once more.
Lightning potent enough to harm peak eighth-layer experts was not easily amassed; the prior instance had been orchestrated by Li Mu.
"It appears the Tree-man Race is genuinely terrified of lightning!"
"Furthermore..."
His gaze shimmered with a cerulean glow; the areas on the two Tree-man Race members that had been struck by lightning refused to mend.
"I understand now!"
Chen Xuan chortled inwardly. He deduced that a race couldn't possibly be this overwhelmingly powerful; they were, in fact, vulnerable to lightning.
That logic holds true!
"Bang!"
Shi the Third was sent flying by the berserk Zhan Tian's blow, crashing violently onto the ground.
"Heal me!"
He bellowed toward the two Tree-man Race individuals.
At this juncture, fissures marred his chest, and his vital aura churned unstably. Zhan Tian was an utter lunatic, completely disregarding his own grievous wounds.
"Heal my foot!"
Zhan Tian's fatal strike descended in the blink of an eye. While he remained oblivious to the reason for their non-intervention in his healing, he welcomed it wholeheartedly!
