Boom!
The ground trembled, and innumerable buildings collapsed. A massive palm print appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes, and his entire body was covered in dust.
It was fortunate that he had reacted swiftly and ordered Vicious to attack, or else the both of them would have been reduced to meat paste.
"How could he be so powerful?"
Feng Xun clenched his jaws in disbelief.
As a Thousand Men Commander of the Combat Master Hall, he was more than capable of killing ordinary Saint 4-dan master teachers with ease. Yet, the young man before him was like an unshakable mountain … Wasn't his strength far beyond his expectations?
Could he have held back his strength in his battle with Wu Shi?
But that shouldn't be the case!
"No, he must have tamed the Lightning Elemental Orb and borrowed the power of the formation!" Feng Xun narrowed his eyes in horror.
He had thought that he would be able to stop the other party, but from the looks of it, it was already too late!
Even though the other party had yet to gain full control over the Lightning Elemental Orb, from the looks of it, he had at least tamed seventy to eighty percent of it. Even a Saint 5-dan expert would find it hard to stand against the other party, needless to say, them.
"Who are you?"
Just like Feng Xun, the Stoneleaf King was horrified as well. Turning his head around, he glared at Zhang Xuan coldly.
The killing intent that he had exuded previously was extremely fearsome, on par with his own. For a human to suddenly exude it, he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Let's go!"
Knowing that Feng Xun was here, he knew that it would only get more troublesome if he spoke any further. Thus, he quickly pulled Zhang Xuan and fled.
The fellow before them was far stronger than the Violetleaf King, Goldenleaf King, and the others. Even if the two of them wanted to stop the other party, it would be impossible for them to do so.
"Trying to escape? Do you think that you can? "
Harrumphing coldly, the Stoneleaf King raised his hand and grabbed.
Huala!
The floating Lightning Elemental Orb fell into his palm, and with a light flick of his finger, several streaks of lightning fell from the sky, forming a cage that trapped the duo within.
"We won't be able to escape …"
Seeing that his surroundings had been sealed, Zhang Xuan's heart turned cold. If he were to charge in, there was a good chance that he would be reduced to ashes.
The other party had already completely refined the Lightning Elemental Bead and was in control of the Sea of Lightning Array. As long as he was within the range of the array, it would be impossible for him to escape from the other party.
"Zhang Shi, our Combat Master Hall has an ultimate technique that allows one to increase one's fighting prowess by twofold. I'll head over to stop him while you make use of this opportunity to escape!"
After struggling for a moment, Feng Xun stood up before Zhang Xuan and waved his hand.
"Double? After that, do you still have a chance to escape? "
Zhang Xuan frowned.
This kind of ultimate move that allowed one's strength to increase explosively would usually damage one's foundation and cultivation. Once it was used, even if one could kill one's opponent, one wouldn't be able to live for long.
Instead of answering Zhang Xuan's question, Feng Xun chuckled softly and said, "President Zhang, your student has been humiliated by our Combat Master Hall. To tell you the truth, I have never liked you since the first time I saw you. The martial arts competition was just an excuse. I wanted to find a chance to teach you a lesson. Unfortunately, I never succeeded! "
"As much as I hate you, I know that you are more useful than me alive. You are of greater use to mankind!"
"I don't want to admit it, but I have no choice but to admit it … Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sorrowful.
"However, it's nothing much. The prosperity of mankind is more important than the integration of an individual. So … later on, I'll break through the lightning barrier, and you should make use of this opportunity to escape. You have to make it out alive! "
"Escape?"
Not expecting this fellow to put aside his personal grudges at such a crucial moment for mankind, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel moved. Nodding, he said, "Alright!"
"Let's begin then!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had agreed to it, Feng Xun heaved a sigh of relief. His eyebrows shot up, and his aura suddenly surged.
Hong long!
Just as he was about to activate his secret art, a powerful force suddenly struck the back of his head, and his vision darkened. His body fell heavily to the ground, and he fainted.
"Even if we use our secret art, we won't be able to escape.
My apologies … "Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly after knocking the other party out.
The other party's idea was not bad, and it was the best solution they could come up with at the moment. However, to Zhang Xuan, it would only result in their deaths.
Even if they were able to escape under the other party's obstruction, they wouldn't be able to get out of the range of the lightning barrier. As long as they were still within it, they would still be killed.
Furthermore, if they didn't deal with this fellow, Wu Shi and the others would be found, and they would be doomed as well.
Thus, the best course of action at the moment wasn't to escape but to face the other party head-on!
The two of them were communicating telepathically, so the Stoneleaf King was oblivious to their conversation. However, seeing how the two of them were killing one another, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Stoneleaf King, long time no see. Didn't you ask me who I am? Let me tell you right now, it's me … "
After knocking Feng Xun out, Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at the Otherworldly Demon King before him with a smile. Geji, geji! The jade token pinned to his chest flashed with light, and as if removing some kind of disguise, he grew taller and taller. A powerful killing intent emanated from him, making him feel as if he was a mountain.
"Violetleaf King?"
Upon seeing the other party's appearance, the Stoneleaf King was taken aback.
"It's me!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Given that the other Kings had been killed, there was a good chance that the fellow before him might have already found out about it. However, the Violetleaf King was still alive and had remained in his Myriad Anthive Nest all this while. Thus, it was the most suitable time for him to disguise as the Violetleaf King.
Besides, Zhang Xuan was also the most familiar with this fellow, so it would be difficult for others to notice his disguise.
"You and the Waterleaf King went on a mission, but there hasn't been any news from you. What happened?"
The Stoneleaf King's face darkened.
That fellow had gone to the Poison Temple together with the Waterleaf King to search for the map, but the Waterleaf King's Soul Jade Token had shattered. While the Waterleaf King was fine, there had been no news of him at all. Everyone thought that he had been killed, but who could have thought that he would suddenly appear once more?
"You've seen it for yourself. I've disguised myself and blended in with the humans. In order to gain their trust, I didn't dare to send a message casually …"
Zhang Xuan.
"Infiltrating humans?"
The Stoneleaf King frowned. He swiftly extended his Spiritual Perception to envelop the Violetleaf King.
To be honest, it had been half a month since the Violetleaf King had disappeared. It was hard for him to believe that the other party would suddenly appear before him.
Taking a closer look, the Stoneleaf King confirmed that the other party's Zhenqi of Slaughter was pure and powerful. In other words, the person standing before him was indeed the Violetleaf King.
"Un. I have unearthed a huge secret of the Human Tribe, and if I were to verify it, there is a good chance that our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will be wiped out … Thus, I disguised myself and blended in with the humans."
Knowing that the Stoneleaf King was discreetly probing him, Zhang Xuan frowned and spoke with a hushed voice.
"Wiped out?"
Retracting his Spiritual Perception, the Stoneleaf King shook his head and said, "You must be joking! Back then, despite how powerful Kong Shi was, he was only able to keep us out of the Master Teacher Continent. What kind of news could possibly wipe us out?"
Kong shi had founded the Master Teacher Occupation and unified mankind. Back then, even though the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had been unable to stand against him, they had only been able to retreat from the Master Teacher Continent to preserve their lineage. How could they possibly destroy the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe over a single piece of news?
Alarmist talk!
"I didn't believe it at the start either, but … this is the truth!" Zhang Xuan said grimly.
No matter how well he disguised himself as the Violetleaf King, it was inevitable that the Violetleaf King would suspect him. In order to distract the Violetleaf King from thinking about this matter, the best course of action was to divert the Violetleaf King's attention.
"Truth? What is it? "
Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression, the Stoneleaf King asked.
To be honest, he still didn't trust the Violetleaf King, but that didn't stop him from listening to the other party's words.
"Have you heard of a Celestial Master Teacher?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Celestial Master Teacher?"
The Stoneleaf King was taken aback for a moment before narrowing his eyes. "Of course I have! Kong Shi is one of them! A Celestial Master Teacher who is acknowledged by the heavens is an invincible existence. Could it be … "
"Indeed … I was tasked to carry out a mission to the Poison Temple, but I happened to stumble upon a Celestial Master Teacher. Due to that, I had no time to report the matter to the Master Teacher Continent, so I changed my plans at the last minute and disguised myself as a human to blend into the crowd!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"How is that possible? Based on the news we have received, Kong Shi is the only Celestial Master Teacher in the history of the Master Teacher Continent. Not even his direct disciples, the Seventy-Two Sages, have been able to achieve the same feat … Where did you hear this news from? "
The Stoneleaf King's body stiffened in disbelief.
The implications of becoming a Celestial Master Teacher were simply too great. If there was really a Celestial Master Teacher who had reached the same level as Kong Shi, the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe could very well be wiped out.
Putting everything aside, when they fled from the Master Teacher Continent back then, they had suffered a huge blow to their vitality. It took them tens of thousands of years to recover fully. If another Celestial Master Teacher were to appear … they would really be no match for the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
After tens of thousands of years of development, they had managed to recover. However, with the master teachers, mankind had grown stronger as well.
"This news is true. Furthermore … I have been following behind that Celestial Master Teacher and intentionally lured him here …" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Lured him here?"
The Stoneleaf King was taken aback for a moment before turning his gaze to the unconscious Feng Xu. "Are you saying that … he is that Celestial Master Teacher?"
"Indeed, it is him!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a forceful and righteous tone.
"This …" The Stoneleaf King frowned doubtfully.
Even though the fellow before him possessed the ability to fight those stronger than him, he seemed to be a little reckless, completely unlike the rumored Celestial Master Teacher.
"You don't believe me?"
Zhang Xuan, who was disguised as the Violetleaf King, sneered coldly. "Our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe should have a way to verify the identity of a Celestial Master Teacher, right? If you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try!"
"We do have a way …" The Stoneleaf King frowned. "However, it is a little troublesome …"
"Troublesome isn't a problem at all. What's more important is that once we verify that he is a Celestial Master Teacher, as long as we can find a way to make him work for us, our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will surely grow stronger. It will only be a matter of time before our name is recorded in the annals of history!"
Zhang Xuan's voice was filled with bewitchment.
"That's true …"
The Stoneleaf King nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "However, in order to verify the identity of a Celestial Master Teacher, we will need the Jadeleaf King's help. As long as he comes, we will be able to verify whether the other party is a Celestial Master Teacher or not!"
