Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1040 - 523: For My Own Use! (Part 4)

Corner Shi the Third into an inescapable situation!

Force him to fight for his very life!

Shi the Third swiftly unleashed a punch, the two fists colliding with immense force!

"Boom!"

Under the colossal impact, the ground fractured, and both combatants were propelled backward simultaneously.

In mid-air!

"You head to the Array, and I'll manage the healing!"

"Understood!"

Just as the duo prepared to make their move, four bolts of lightning instantly split the sky once more.

All four individuals took the celestial strikes head-on.

"Pff...!"

The identical outcome repeated itself.

"Damn it, you still want to enter the great hall? I'll smite you two to death with lightning!"

Chen Xuan cursed from within the shimmering spatial rift.

The two from the Tree-man Race were struck again, their vital auras rapidly diminishing.

Once again, their faces contorted with palpable terror.

"Get lost!"

Shi the Third bellowed, the Crystal Stone embedded in his chest flaring to its maximum, enveloping his body in an even more brilliant luminescence.

"Boom!"

His imposing aura surged upward in an instant.

"Now this is more like it!"

He had been suppressing his true strength all along, and coupled with those two scoundrels' constant healing, it had been infuriating him beyond measure.

This was far better!

He could finally unleash his full power in this confrontation!

"Ripp..."

He charged at Shi the Third once more, his speed so extreme it seemed to tear through space itself, his Sacred Body manifesting in its full glory again. Naturally, he too had kept a trump card hidden.

But now, the need for it had vanished!

He sensed he was teetering on the brink of a Realm Breakthrough.

"What is happening?"

A figure materialized instantaneously between the two Tree-man Race members. The newcomer was none other than the ancestor of the Tree-man Race, who had forcefully emerged from seclusion upon sensing the lightning's destructive power.

"Ancestor, it is undoubtedly that Human Race scoundrel, Li Mu's doing!"

"Old Fourth, who was guarding him—his life force has vanished!"

Upon hearing this, the ancestor's countenance darkened considerably. In the next moment, his gaze fixed upon the great hall; due to the protection of an Array, it stood as the sole structure remaining intact within Yong’an Prefecture City.

He thrust forth a palm strike!

"Boom!"

Even with the Array's formidable defense, the great hall crumbled with a deafening crash.

However, it was found to be utterly empty!

There was nothing within its confines!

"He escaped? And none of you noticed?"

"Ancestor, the great hall was shielded by an Array; we were unable to perceive anything inside!"

"Useless vermin!"

The ancestor seethed with rage. These two individuals were like mere puppets—had it never crossed their minds to simply enter the damned hall and investigate?

Yet, even as he berated them, two streams of exceptionally pure green light shot into them.

Although he could not fully restore them, he could at least stabilize their grievous injuries. After all, the Tree-man Race harbored the deepest fear of lightning, a trait intrinsically linked to the genesis of their progenitor.

"Go. Cease this dawdling and eliminate him swiftly!"

The ancestor commanded. The two, not daring to defy, plunged back into the fray.

Instantly!

Zhan Tian's pressure intensified, yet he felt no trace of fear; instead, a palpable excitement coursed through him.

"Boom boom boom..."

Resounding booms echoed ceaselessly from within his very being.

Meanwhile, the ancestor of the Tree-man Race surveyed his surroundings. It was improbable that an Array would be left unattended; someone must be operating it, undoubtedly concealed elsewhere.

He was determined to locate them!

Within the confines of the spatial rift, Chen Xuan rapidly increased the distance between himself and the formidable old man.

The elder exuded an aura that felt exceedingly perilous.

Only after traversing several dozen li did he finally allow himself to relax.

"The Tree-man Race is truly formidable!"

Even he could not help but let out a sigh at this juncture. Including those encountered previously, a total of four experts at the Peak of the Eighth Layer had materialized, and it seemed this elder was far from ordinary!

And the Clan Leader of the Tree-man Race had yet to make an appearance.

This implied that the Tree-man Race commanded the strength of at least five Peak of Eighth Layer experts.

In stark contrast, the Stone Race appeared utterly insignificant. Whether in eras past or in the present, they could only muster one such expert.

However, the Array's energy reserves were only sufficient to manifest the final four bolts of lightning.

These were already nearing their complete formation.

Yet, Chen Xuan harbored no immediate intention of deploying them.

At this precise moment, Zhan Tian was enduring the converging onslaught of three supreme experts; there was no necessity to burden him further.

"This should suffice, shouldn't it?"

He cast his gaze towards Zhan Tian. If this still proved insufficient, then truly, there was nothing more he could possibly do.

"Not here?"

The ancestor of the Tree-man Race's expression soured considerably; even he was unable to locate Li Mu's whereabouts.

"Should I obliterate the Array?"
