The previous chapter was accidentally posted twice due to an error in the automatic update settings; my apologies, I only noticed the comments in the review section after just getting home! Tomorrow, I will change the content of Chapter 518 to Chapter 520!
This way, none of you will lose any of your hard-earned KB, my apologies! (+﹏+)~Totally Dazed(+﹏+)~Totally Dazed Wolong Manor!
Headquarters! On the expansive computer screen!
The intense battle between Xingchen and the imposing figures of Wei Peng and Lao Niu was being broadcast clearly! On the communication screens across the Twelve Palaces and other smaller defense sectors, the exact same scene was being displayed!
Brilliant light radiated and dust flew everywhere, while different fluctuating data points beside the image clearly indicated the combat status of the three individuals currently engaged in the fight! This visual feed was connected directly to the biological computers in the minds of Wei Peng and Lao Niu, allowing them to observe every angle of the live scene in real-time!
It was as if they were seeing exactly what Wei Peng and Lao Niu were experiencing on site! For Xingchen, the intruder who had previously defeated the Guardian Hero of Aries, Wolong Manor was paying the utmost attention!
Consequently, they were meticulously monitoring his every move at this moment! Not only New Moon at the headquarters, but the guardians of all other sectors were also closely tracking his every action!
Wolong Manor hadn't been this alive with activity in a very long time! The battle on the field intensified!
On the screens, three blurry afterimages zipped and darted across the landscape with astonishing speed, like lightning ghosts! They erupted in bursts of dazzling light and dull, heavy roars!
It was dizzying to watch! Even through the screens from a distance, the heart-pounding, gripping tension of the scene was palpable!
“I hadn't expected that Wei Peng and Jin Niu would be suppressed from the very beginning.” Regarding the state of the battle, New Moon was somewhat surprised: “Xingchen’s combat power is truly unfathomable. It seems that after thirty thousand years of evolution, the martial arts of the Mafa Continent have achieved incredibly astonishing advancements.” “Although Wei Peng and Lao Niu possess formidable strength, their opponent’s skill is by no means inferior, and the speed at which his Dou Qi erupts and increases is much faster than theirs.
Coupled with Yueying’s innate speed talent, he can completely suppress them before Wei Peng and Jin Niu can raise their power levels.” In the Cancer defense sector, the Fourth Defense Zone, two grim gazes were locked firmly onto the purplish-brown figure on the screen: “In terms of tactical application, the opponent far exceeds Wei Peng and Lao Niu.” “If Wei Peng and Jin Niu can survive the initial phase and fully raise their Dou Qi.” The two guardians in the Leo defense sector, the Fifth Defense Zone, were not optimistic about Xingchen: “This Xingchen is destined to lose.” Underground Palace! “Daddy, you must win.” Xing Zhan, who had just woken up, quickly noticed the strange image on the wall.
This truly startled her! Although she didn't know what this bizarre crystal wall was, the fact that it could show her Daddy’s current situation made her both nervous and excited!
She even forgot about the lecherous Little Scoundrel lurking nearby and the ill-intentioned Little Witch. “He is your father?” The Little Witch looked somewhat surprised: “But he looks younger than you.” “Nonsense, of course, he’s my father.” Xing Zhan said with considerable pride: “Daddy was already at the cultivation level of a Fengtian War God thirty years ago, which is why his appearance has remained at eighteen.” “He’s so handsome.” The Little Witch adopted a lovesick expression: “I’ve decided.
Since I can’t find your brother, I’ll marry him.” “What, marry my dad?” Xing Zhan looked utterly strange, as if she had swallowed a giant toad. What monsters were these siblings, with their minds filled with such bizarre notions.
“Wait, he’s my future father-in-law.” The Little Scoundrel jumped up anxiously: “If you marry his father, wouldn't you become his stepmother, and wouldn't I become your son-in-law? That won't do.” “What father-in-law, son-in-law?” Xing Zhan, who had finally woken up, was so angry she nearly fainted again: “Are you two ever going to stop?” The main hall immediately descended into chaos!
While Xingchen was locked in a fierce battle with Wei Peng and Lao Niu, several figures were stealthily positioned on a dune much further away! “He cannot possibly defeat Wei Peng and Jin Niu.” A low male voice carried an unusual, captivating magnetism!
Looking closer, one could see a tall man clad in the standard brown Fengtian Demon Armor. “Don’t underestimate him too much.” Another cold voice replied: “He is not an ordinary person.” If Xingchen were present, he would be greatly shocked, as the speaker was none other than Zhan Lang, the one who had kidnapped Xing Zhan and Xing Ye!
“Not long ago, he was only slightly stronger than me when facing Yueying, with a peak combat power of just twenty-four thousand, yet now he can reach one hundred and sixty thousand in such a short time.” There were several other people in this location besides him! All of them were currently showing intense interest.
“From this, we can see his potential is immense!” The speaker was a tall, fair woman with blue-green hair and captivating features: “No wonder you captured his son.” “Correct. After I was defeated by him for the first time on the Mafa Continent, I thoroughly investigated all his information.” Zhan Lang said: “As a result, I discovered he has mastered a truly miraculous sword technique.” “A miraculous sword technique.” The large warrior asked curiously: “What kind of sword technique is it that earns such high praise from you?” “Nine Heavens Star River Sword Technique.” Zhan Lang stated: “It is said that this miraculous sword technique possesses an incredible power-stacking effect, capable of increasing one’s combat power by up to nine times.” “What?” The calm expression of the blue-haired beauty finally broke into a flicker of horror: “Power stacking reaching nine times?
Isn’t that a more terrifying secret art than the Burning System?” “Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to capture his two children.” Zhan Lang explained: “It is rumored that his two children have also learned that sword technique. As long as we successfully fuse with his body and memories, we can also learn this technique.
Then, even if we confront that hateful old man, we won't be without a chance of winning.” “Wolong Master.” The large warrior’s face instantly became considerably grim: “After waiting for over thirty thousand years, we absolutely cannot fail this time.” “Indeed! We only have two more months until Xing Ye’s body completes its final fusion reinforcement.
With our combined strength, plus the power of that sword technique.” Zhan Lang’s expression became unusually excited: “Victory will surely be ours.” “But I worry that during this time, the old man will see through our plan.” The blue-haired beauty expressed concern. “That’s not necessarily true.” Zhan Lang countered: “No matter how cunning that old man is, the opportunity he has waited thirty thousand years for is right in front of him.
Can he afford to focus on us?” “Are you referring to the Gene Patch?” The blue-haired beauty questioned. “Exactly.” Zhan Lang confirmed: “Frankly, I never expected that his two siblings would harbor such a secret—they are actually gene mutants belonging to our Wolong Clan.
This is truly a stroke of unexpected luck.” “But if that’s the case, won’t he stop at nothing to get Xing Ye back? Our base will be discovered sooner or later.” The blue-haired beauty worried.
“That’s debatable.” Zhan Lang said: “Since he is Xing Ye and Xing Zhan’s father, he must possess the same Gene Patch. Instead of painstakingly searching for Xing Ye, it would be easier to capture Xingchen.
Therefore, as long as we prevent them from capturing Xingchen, it will buy us time!” Zhan Lang concluded. “Use him to divert the attention of the Golden Warriors.
That way, even if the old man realizes we are making a move, he won’t be able to deal with us.” The large warrior stated solemnly: “That’s a good idea. As long as the Golden Warriors haven’t caught him, they won’t be free to deal with us.” “While the plan is decent,” the blue-haired beauty commented, “it’s a shame his combat power is still too weak.
He’s no match for Jin Niu, so how can he possibly hold back the Golden Warriors?” “Then we’ll have to give him a hand.” Zhan Lang responded. “How do we help?” The large warrior asked: “Are you suggesting we team up against Jin Niu?” “That’s unnecessary.” Zhan Lang replied: “Have you forgotten which sector is next to Jin Niu’s defense sector?” “The Third Defense Sector, Gemini.” The blue-haired beauty seemed confused, but then her expression abruptly shifted dramatically: “You mean…” “Are you suggesting Xingchen escape into Gemini?” The large warrior was even more horrified.
“Precisely.” Zhan Lang declared: “No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Xingchen be captured by Jin Niu and the others. If he flees into Gemini, I believe the old man will have a serious headache too.” “Interesting.” The blue-haired beauty allowed herself a rare, relaxed smile.
The peaceful Wolong Manor had become unexpectedly vibrant due to the appearance of the intruder, Xingchen! Almost everyone was focused on this intense confrontation!
It was just that Xingchen on the field had no idea he had become the star of a live broadcast! Of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't change anything!
Right now, he had only one objective: defeat the two powerful enemies before him with his utmost effort! Similarly, Wei Peng and Lao Niu dared not let their guard down!
Several dragon shadows suddenly shot out, splitting into two groups, lunging toward the two men respectively! Even though they were prepared, the two men were startled by the near-perverse speed and formidable impact!
Two great swords moved almost simultaneously, stirring up two masses of brilliant sword light! Clang!
Clang! Bang!
Amidst a rapid series of explosive sounds! Several streaks of light scattered once more!
Indeed, in the blink of an eye, the two men had blocked all the dragon shadows! However, even so, they sustained a hidden loss!
The dragon shadows, upon being blocked, simultaneously detonated! The shocking impact sent vibrations up both their sword-holding hands, making their palms numb!
The tiger’s mouth felt as if it was about to split open! It was hard to imagine that these seemingly insignificant objects contained such astonishing power!
Furthermore, this sudden explosive shock caused the Qi within their bodies to churn violently, making them feel close to spitting blood! Almost at the exact moment the dragon shadows were repelled!
The figure, which had descended like a comet, struck from above! Red light flashed, radiating killing intent, as Xingchen’s Dragon Shadow Greatsword dragged out a ten-meter-long massive arc of sword energy, crashing down with the force of Mount Tai!
This move was the "Heaven and Earth Splitter," learned during his previous fight with Tian Mu on the Xueyu Continent. Although it was only a resemblance in form and not in essence, the overbearing aura of splitting the heavens and earth was perfectly replicated!
If they were struck by this, the two men would surely meet their end! The attack from the Star Cloud Sword Qi, the subsequent assault of the Dragon Shadow, coupled with the sword strike descending from above!
This was the three-stage combined lethal move formed by the fusion of the Turbulent Stone Star Cloud and the Dragon Shadow Sword Technique! The gap between the first and the final strike was less than a second—giving Wei Peng and Lao Niu absolutely no chance to catch their breath!
And after the previous two clashes, the Dou Qi of Wei Peng and Lao Niu had long been shaken into disarray! They were unable to adjust their breathing or launch a proper interception!
They could only retreat simultaneously! The Phoenix Heaven Wings flapped suddenly, and two blurry afterimages vanished from their spots as if by instantaneous movement!
In the blink of an eye, they shot out over forty meters! Whoosh—The Heaven and Earth Splitter missed its mark!
However, the astonishing sword energy slammed violently into the ground, tearing open a shocking, massive pit in the soft sand! That was close!
Wei Peng and Lao Niu, having escaped death, broke out in cold sweat! However, their psychological fortitude was far beyond ordinary; even as they dodged, they quickly readjusted their inner breath!
On the other side, Xingchen, whose sword had missed, reacted with blinding speed! The Phoenix Heaven Wings flapped lightly in succession!
His entire body, like an agile kite, appeared as if it was about to smash into the ground, but at the very last moment, he impossibly shifted his downward trajectory, skimming just above the surface for a good hundred meters! Immediately after, without slowing down, he shot back toward the high sky!
The entire process was swift and fluid, without any hindrance, as natural as flowing water! It wasn't until this moment that Wei Peng and Lao Niu managed to stabilize their disordered Qi.
But before they could launch a counterattack! Xingchen’s figure had already soared above their heads once more!
“Damn it, he’s trying that move again!” Wei Peng cursed in frustration! In fact, they had long seen through Xingchen's tactic: simply securing the aerial advantage to enhance the impact force and destructive power of his sword energy during the descent!
But seeing through it was one thing; being able to withstand it was another! The two possessed powerful Dou Qi cultivation, yet because they had to activate the Burning System gradually to enhance their Dou Qi intensity, they had lost the initiative!
Just like now, Wei Peng and Lao Niu had barely managed to block Xingchen’s three-stage combo from the Turbulent Stone Star Cloud and barely stabilized their breath! However, the follow-up attack from Xingchen was finally launched!
Danger! The target's life force field surged again—Dou Qi intensity, one hundred and sixty thousand!
Alarm bells sounded simultaneously in the bio-radars inside Wei Peng and Lao Niu’s minds! “Moon Destruction, Star Fall!” Xingchen, hanging in mid-air, roared—the sound was truly like a massive thunderclap, jarring Wei Peng and Lao Niu until their eardrums ached, leaving them in a miserable state!
The purple afterimage that had shot into the sky suddenly burst into a dazzling cluster of colorful light! It was as glorious as fiery clouds in the sunset glow!
The entire sky seemed to be engulfed in fierce fire! Accompanied by this was an oppressive killing intent so dense it was almost suffocating!
Then, that massive fire cloud began to spin and dance at an astonishing speed before compressing into a giant crimson fireball! It plummeted from the sky!
The heavy pressure and astonishing Dou Qi fluctuations seemed to crush the very air, emitting sharp, distorted whistles and exhibiting a bizarre distortion and rippling effect! “He’s coming again!” Wei Peng shouted: “You take the first hit this time!” “Yes!” Lao Niu clearly understood Wei Peng’s plan—to have him engage the opponent first to stall.
