Chu Li and Sun Mingyue stood at the peak of the mountain and looked down at the fierce battle in the valley.
They watched as the twenty-five elders from the Great Light Peak broke through the joint attack of the eight elders like a hot knife through butter. They then proceeded to break through the joint attack of the remaining elders. The Octagonal Formation was like a piece of paper in front of them. There was no resistance at all. Before the twenty-five elders from the Great Light Peak were able to unleash their full power, the Octagonal Formation was defeated.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "It worked. Is the Heaven Peeking Technique really that powerful?"
If it was really that powerful, the Divine Prophecy Pavilion would have been the overlord long ago. How could it still be inferior to the eight major sects?
Chu Li said, "The Heaven Peeking Technique is powerful but it's useless without enough people to use it. The Great Light Peak is the one doing it."
"That's true." Sun Mingyue nodded.
Seeing that the twenty-five elders had defeated all the protectors and surrounded Zhong Wancheng, Sun Mingyue said, "This time, it's in the bag, right?"
Chu Li shook his head. "You're underestimating Zhong Wancheng."
"Hmm …?" Sun Mingyue turned to look at him.
Chu Li said, "Zhong Wancheng is a top-notch master who has been hiding his strength. He has cultivated a secret skill."
"What's going on?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li pointed below. "You'll know when you see it."
"Why didn't you tell them?" Sun Mingyue frowned.
Chu Li smiled. "I told them in the brocade pouch."
Sun Mingyue stared at him and shook her head as she looked below.
Zhong Wancheng looked at the twenty-five people who were slowly approaching him and said, "Holy Church of Light, it seems like you have a spy around me who has peeked into the mystery of the Octagonal Formation."
"Surnamed Zhong, hand over your life!" The group of old men shouted and began to attack.
They were divided into three layers with six people in the innermost layer. They attacked at the same time with palm techniques.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Zhong Wancheng did not dodge their attacks. He stood there calmly and looked at them with a cold smile.
Everyone frowned. When the palm energy hit him, it was as if they had entered an empty iron pillar. They did not feel any hindrance and were strangely stable. They could not move him at all.
After the first layer was attacked, the second layer followed.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" Endless palm strikes landed on his body, followed closely by the third layer. He was like an old tree in a storm, about to be destroyed at any time.
However, no matter how fierce the storm was, it was not destroyed. Instead, it was abnormally tenacious, standing tall as before.
Sun Mingyue furrowed her eyebrows as she pondered over what kind of martial art this was. No matter how strong one's endurance training was, they would not be able to withstand the crazy attacks of so many masters. These were all top-notch Grandmasters with more than two hundred years of cultivation. Their cultivation was profound and pure. Even she could not withstand it head-on.
Zhong Wancheng, on the other hand, had a calm look on his face as if he was enjoying it. He smiled and shook his head. He only reacted to the palm energy that was aimed at his head and gently blocked it. He ignored the rest of the palm energy and allowed them to hit his body.
This agitated the people from Great Light Peak even more. Their palm energy was as violent as a tidal wave.
Chu Li turned his head and asked, "Could it be because of the Heavenly Frost Treasure Robe?"
"Very likely." Sun Mingyue nodded.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the elders from Great Light Peak began to draw their weapons. Some wielded swords while others wielded knives. All of them stabbed at him.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" The shadows of knives and swords flashed by. All the weapons that hit his body were sent flying more than ten meters away. "Clang, clang, clang, clang."
Sun Mingyue's eyebrows furrowed even more.
Zhong Wancheng was like a tortoise shell. Palm energy could not hurt him, and blades and swords could not hurt him. He was indeed an anomaly.
She turned her head and said, "This is Black Tortoise Power!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Black Tortoise Power?"
"Zheng Dynasty's Black Tortoise Mountain's Black Tortoise Power. I didn't expect Zhong Wancheng to be a disciple of Zheng Dynasty's Black Tortoise Mountain!" Sun Mingyue's expression was solemn. "I can't believe you didn't know such important information!"
Chu Li said thoughtfully, "No wonder he's so powerful. This Black Tortoise Power is really amazing. It's already scary enough to be able to block ten people, but he's able to block so many people's attacks. It's incredible."
This kind of defense was at the level of an Enlightened Master. It was beyond imagination for a Grandmaster to be able to do this. Chu Li knew that he would not be able to withstand such a siege even if he had the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.
Sun Mingyue said, "Didn't you want to cultivate to become a God? It's a must to cultivate Black Tortoise Power. With his current level, he might have already perfected it. "
Chu Li smiled. "In that case, I'd like to learn a thing or two from him."
"However, no matter how strong Black Tortoise Power is, it's impossible for him to hold on forever," Sun Mingyue said. "He won't be able to hold on for long."
Chu Li nodded.
However, contrary to their expectations, Zhong Wancheng was unexpectedly strong. He had been besieged by twenty-five people for two hours, but he did not seem to be injured at all. Within these two hours, his protectors had mostly recovered.
Thus, a chaotic battle ensued.
After they switched to another formation instead of the Octagonal Formation, their power increased tremendously. The people from Great Light Peak slowly lost their advantage. Zhong Wancheng had used up too much of his inner energy and they began to feel that his inner energy was insufficient.
It was then that they realized the peculiarity of Zhong Wancheng's technique. It was extraordinarily exhausting of inner energy. One palm strike would consume a few times more inner energy than usual. After two hours, they felt as if they had lost everything.
Zhong Wancheng's eyes were shining and his face was glowing. He seemed to be getting more and more energetic as he fought. From time to time, he would let out an indescribably carefree laugh.
"It's been a long time since I've fought to my heart's content. Satisfying! " He laughed as he waved his palm to block the palm energy that was aimed at his head. As for the swords and blades, they were all repelled and could not get close to him.
The palm energy of the people from Great Light Peak became soft. It was as if they would collapse at any time and be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Let's retreat!" Elder Chang sighed.
The people nodded and turned to leave.
"You want to leave?!" Zhong Wancheng scoffed. "That depends on whether I agree to it or not!"
His body abruptly expanded and his brows turned black. The wrinkles on his face disappeared quickly as if he was a hundred years younger. Instantly, wherever the palm energy passed, it whistled and was extremely shocking.
"Bam bam bam bam …" The people from Great Light Peak were sent flying.
After falling to the ground, they immediately spat out mouthfuls of blood. Their breaths were weak and their lives were in danger.
They hurriedly took out porcelain bottles and swallowed the Bone-replenishing Pills.
Chu Li looked at Sun Mingyue. "If we don't act now, they'll be finished."
"Let's go." Sun Mingyue nodded.
In a flash, the two of them appeared in front of Zhong Wancheng.
Zhong Wancheng's expression immediately turned serious. He took a step back and looked at the two of them.
He did not notice the two of them approaching. When he did, every hair on his body stood on end and he felt a chill run down his spine. His instincts, which had been honed from countless life and death situations, told him to escape as soon as possible.
"Who are you?" Zhong Wancheng silently channeled his inner energy and mobilized all of it in preparation to perform an escape technique.
Sun Mingyue said, "You don't need to know!"
She lightly slapped her palm from behind.
Zhong Wancheng suddenly turned into a blurry shadow and appeared a hundred meters away in the next moment.
Sun Mingyue's figure followed closely behind. Her white jade-like palm landed lightly on his back.
"Bam!" There was a loud sound.
