"This …"
"He's indeed way too calm …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the others also noticed this as well.
As a Thousand Men Commander of the Combat Master Hall, Jiang Yuan was indeed way too calm. If not for the fact that he had spoken earlier, everyone would have thought that he wasn't even there at all.
Jiang Yuan's face turned a little livid. He waved his hands and said, "The Combat Master Hall has a strict requirement on one's temperament. Given how dangerous this place is, and I don't know much about formations and traps, it shouldn't be a problem for me to remain silent."
"There are also many people here who haven't spoken a word since they arrived, such as Formation Master Liu Mo. Actually, it's not a big deal for them to remain silent, "Zhang Xuan said with a light chuckle.
"Then …" Jiang Yuan was perplexed.
Zhang Xuan's lips curled up into a smile. "Calm down … I just want to ask you a question. Do you know the names of the four combat masters who have sacrificed themselves?"
"I …"
Jiang Yuan was stunned.
Other than Jiang Yuan, Feng Xun, and Zhuo Qingfeng, there were twelve other combat masters in the Combat Master Hall, which meant that there were fifteen of them in total.
While the four combat masters who had died weren't the weakest of the group, they hadn't spoken much, and neither had they reported their names. Even Zhang Xuan had no idea what their names were … But as a member of the Combat Master Hall and their direct superior, he should have a good idea of their names!
"Why? You don't even know their names? "Zhang Xuan asked mockingly.
"Combat Master Jiang, how did you …" Feng Xun was taken aback.
They were all members of the Combat Master Hall, and he had personally trained many of them. For him to be unable to recall their names … it was no wonder that he was lying.
The others also took several steps back as they stared at each other in bewilderment.
Everything else could be explained, but not being able to recognize one's own subordinates was not something that could be explained.
Jiang Yuan opened his mouth a few times, but in the end, he still couldn't utter a name. Instead, he sneered coldly and said, "You are a smart one … Alright, since you have found out, let's end the game then!"
Hong long!
Right after those words were spoken, a powerful aura burst forth from Jiang Yuan's body, exerting immense pressure on everyone present, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
"A Leaving Aperture realm expert …"
Narrowing his eyes, Wu Shi hurriedly stood in front of the crowd. His muscles tensed up, and he drove his zhenqi to its limits, ready to make a move at any moment.
Just from the other party's aura, he could tell that the other party was a true Leaving Aperture realm expert, far stronger than him.
"You think you can stop me?"
Sneering coldly, 'Jiang Yuan' lightly tapped his finger forward.
Bang!
Before Wu Shi could react, he was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground, his face pale.
Leaving Aperture realm primary stage was only two cultivation stages away from Primordial Spirit realm pinnacle, but there was a world of difference in their fighting prowess.
"Everyone, be careful. He is the Skyleaf King!"
While in midair, Wu shi had already verified the other party's identity and bellowed furiously.
Even though the other party had only used his Primordial Spirit to launch his attack, it carried an overwhelming killing intent. Considering how powerful the Qingtian Lineage was, it was likely that the legendary Skyleaf King was the only one who possessed such strength.
"Skyleaf King?"
Everyone tensed up and raised their weapons in unison, looking at each other warily.
Even though he knew that he wasn't a match for Zhang Xuan, there was no way for him to escape.
"A bunch of weaklings!"
Facing the encirclement of the crowd, 'Jiang Yuan' remained impassive. With a light chuckle, he raised his palm and pressed it down.
Hong long!
In an instant, the crowd felt as if the world was collapsing around them, and an immense pressure bore down on them.
Leaving Aperture realm experts wielded the power of nature with their Primordial Spirits. While the crowd was not weak, they were still lacking in comparison.
"Humph!"
Suppressing the crowd, 'Jiang Yuan' flicked his fingers.
Sou sou sou sou!
The weapons in the crowd's hands immediately flew out of their hands, and blood flowed from their purlicues. Their faces paled.
"I will hold him back. Everyone, run!"
Seeing that none of them were a match for Zhang Xuan, Wu shi bellowed furiously. Leaping up from the ground, he raised his sword and slashed it down with a powerful surge of sword qi.
Saint-tier battle technique, Overlapping Waves Frenzied Gale Sword!
Like a tidal wave, the sword qi stacked on top of one another. Before the sword qi could even reach Zhang Xuan, the surrounding air was already torn apart, and a massive ravine was formed on the ground.
"Interesting …"
"Jiang Yuan" chuckled. His five fingers moved like flowers. His little finger first collided with the Sword Qi, followed by his ring finger, middle finger, and thumb. Every time he did so, a part of the Sword Qi would be lost. After a few times, the power of the Stacking Waves Gale Sword was completely eliminated.
"It's the Saint-tier battle technique Wind Folding Hands … Isn't he the Skyleaf King? How could he possibly know a battle technique from the Combat Master Hall? "
Feng Xun could hardly believe what he was hearing.
The battle technique that the other party was executing was not one of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's trump cards but the Combat Master Hall's Wind Folding Hands!
"The Skyleaf King is controlling Jiang Yuan to fight. In other words, Jiang Yuan … is only temporarily possessed …" Zhang Xuan frowned.
The Wind Folding Hands was similar to his physical body's Thoughtless Void, so it was likely that the Skyleaf King was utilizing the strength of his physical body.
"Temporarily possessed? Zhang Shi, I beg of you, please save Jiang Yuan! "Feng Xun pleaded anxiously.
Jiang Yuan was a Thousand Men Commander like him, and they had fought alongside one another. Yet, the Skyleaf King had actually taken over Jiang Yuan's body. No matter what, he had to save the latter!
"Un, I will definitely save him. However, there are two things that I'm still unsure of at the moment …" Zhang Xuan stroked his lower jaw.
Given his current strength, he was unable to interfere in the battle. Thus, it would be better for him to focus on the current situation first.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was still deep in thought, Feng Xun could not help but say, "There's no time to think about it. I fear that Wu shi and the others will destroy Jiang Yuan's physical body. By then, even if we manage to save him, it will be too late …"
Hearing the anxious look on Feng Xun's face, Zhang Xuan raised his head to take a look.
At this moment, President Han and Mu shi had also joined the battle.
This' Jiang Yuan 'was so powerful that Wu Shi and the others were no match for him at all. However … with the three of them working together, the situation was different.
"I didn't think that the three of them would be able to execute such an exquisite formation …"
Taking a look at the formation, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Wu Shi, President Han, and Mu shi were all from Qingyuan Conferred Empire. While there was a huge disparity between their strength and that of 'Jiang Yuan', when they worked together, they were able to exert a fighting prowess that far exceeded that of the three of them.
However, there's still something amiss. Even if the Skyleaf King's physical body isn't compatible with the Skyleaf King's body, it shouldn't be this weak …
Even so, Wu Shi and the others shouldn't have been a match for the Skyleaf King. Yet, they were still being pushed back by the Skyleaf King. This left Zhang Xuan feeling more and more perplexed.
"You are courting death!"
After retreating a few steps, 'Jiang Yuan' suddenly came to a halt. His eyes turned crimson, and with a furious roar, a Primordial Spirit leaped out from his glabella.
Hong long long!
As soon as the Primordial Spirit appeared, the spiritual energy within a radius of countless li immediately gathered around it, turning it into a giant. Every single movement it made carried devastating might and aura.
Hu!
With a swipe of his palm, the formation formed by Wu Shi, Mu shi, and Mu shi crumbled. Following which, the three of them spurted mouthfuls of blood, sustaining severe injuries.
"Hold it right there!"
Seeing that the Primordial Spirit was still intent on making a move, Feng Xun couldn't hold himself back any longer.
"Heh!"
The Primordial Spirit sneered coldly as it flicked its finger.
Peng!
In just a single strike, Feng Xun was sent flying.
Even though he was a Saint 3-dan pinnacle cultivator, the gap between him and the Skyleaf King was simply too huge.
"I get it …"
Seeing that Feng Xun was sent flying, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up. Slapping his thigh, he turned around and instructed, "Everyone, continue attacking!"
Hearing those words, the crowd nodded in agreement. Gathering their strength, they charged toward the Primordial Spirit in the sky.
Even though they knew that they weren't a match for the Skyleaf King, since Zhang Shi had made such a request, there was no doubt that he had his reasons for doing so.
Unlike the others, Zhang Xuan's figure blurred as he charged right up to 'Jiang Yuan' and punched him.
Peng!
With his Primordial Spirit leaving his body, it was impossible for Jiang Yuan to withstand the attack. In an instant, he was sent flying.
"Zhang Shi …"
Upon seeing this sight, Feng Xun nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
It was just a moment ago that he said that Jiang Yuan wasn't dead yet, and yet, he was still pummeling him like that? Did you think that he would die just like that?
Peng peng peng peng!
Paying no heed to Feng Xun's cries, Zhang Shi smashed his fist toward the back of Jiang Yuan's head.
"This action … Why does it feel so familiar?"
Feng Xun was just about to rush forward to stop the other party when he suddenly froze.
Why did the other party's action feel so familiar? Furthermore, he could vaguely feel a slight pain at the back of his head as well.
However, this feeling was fleeting, and he didn't have much time to think about it. Following which, he saw the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit trembling uncontrollably as fear surfaced in its eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Roaring furiously, the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit charged forward to grab Zhang Xuan.
However, before it could reach Jiang Yuan, the latter's fist struck Jiang Yuan's body once more.
The Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit trembled once more, and it nearly plummeted from the sky.
"Could it be that … attacking Jiang Yuan's physical body is affecting his Primordial Spirit?"
Upon seeing this sight, Feng Xun, Wu Shi, and the others glanced at one another in delight.
"Zhang Shi, allow me!"
With a swift step, Feng Xun rushed up to the spot where Zhang Xuan had struck earlier and sent a punch toward it.
Huala!
Just as he had thought, the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit trembled uncontrollably.
"You deal with him first. I have some questions that I need to ask the Skyleaf King …"
Seeing that Feng Xun was rushing over, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Leaving 'Jiang Yuan', he walked up to Wu Shi and the others and gazed at the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit.
"Zhang Shi, what's going on?"
Wu Shi and the others were perplexed by the situation.
Both he and President Han were close to reaching Leaving Aperture realm, but they had never heard of a Primordial Spirit being affected by an attack on a physical body. More importantly … it was the physical body that the Skyleaf King was possessing.
"I'll explain it to you later …"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually. Instead of answering the question, he chuckled softly and asked, "Skyleaf King … There are some things that I don't understand. Why would you pay such a heavy price to hide in Jiang Yuan's body?"
