Chapter 202
“Not the King Warrior Realm?!” With a grim expression, Shangguan Yuan sensed Elder Fu’s aura and seemed relieved. “From his aura… I think he hasn’t reached the Emperor Warrior Realm yet!”
Otherwise, they would be absolutely no match for two Emperor Warriors!
I’m surprised that Nalan Hongwu has a master who is almost an Emperor Warrior beside him! Shangguan Yuan thought, Nalan Hongwu is indeed an old sly fox!
“No! We’re not his match!” One of the King Warriors yelled in astonishment, “We were wrong!”
“Don’t panic!” Seeing that his dress-up was useless, Shangguan Yuan dumped it and yelled in a deep voice, “I’ll handle Nalan Hongwu, and all of you try to kill Lin Fu!”
“Mr. Shangguan! You…” The others were baffled, not understanding how Shangguan Yuan, a master who was close to the Emperor Warrior Realm, could handle Nalan Hongwu, a real Emperor Warrior.
“Shangguan Yuan! It’s you!” Now that Shangguan Yuan didn’t disguise his voice, Nalan Hongwu recognized him.
“It’s me!” Shangguan Yuan threw the black sword onto the ground and sneered, “Since the sword has no effect on you, it’s useless to me! However…”
Instantly, his aura grew so violently that everyone was shocked!
This overwhelming pressure was…
“Warrior… Emperor Warrior Realm?!”
Shangguan Yan sneered, “I knew that Ji Wuyou was unreliable. Do you think that only you can conceal strength?!”
Seeing Shangguan Yuan showing such powerful strength, his companions were relieved. “Let’s kill Lin Fu first and then get rid of Nalan Hongwu! They are dead!”
Nalan Hongwu moved forward slightly as if he wanted to get to the black sword on the ground beside Shangguan Yuan.
Shangguan Yuan stepped on the sword and then kicked it behind him. “You want it?”
He beckoned at Nalan Hongwu and taunted, “Come and get it.”
He tried to anger Nalan Hongwu and stall him.
Suddenly, Nalan Hongwu pointed out his finger!
At this sight, Shangguan Yuan was startled and had a bad feeling, but he didn’t know why.
Then, he sensed a movement behind him, and he moved aside. The sword behind him flew into Nalan Hongwu’s hand as if it were alive!
Shangguan Yuan was shocked.
He stared at Nalan Hongwu as if he was looking at a ghost!
“What combat technique was that?!”
“Master of the Shangguan Family, you should have gone out and broadened your views instead of staying at home and making schemes!” Nalan Hongwu waved the black sword in his hand, and the sword let out a cry.
This sword was made of a block of tough iron that was buried deep under the Kirin Cliff. The people in the Fu Family didn’t like it, but Fu Beihai had brought it with him into battles.
As time went on, a trace of a spirit had grown inside the sword!
After 200 years, this trace of the spirit was woken up again!
Instantly, the sword cry resonated in the area with piercing power!
It sounded like a fierce tiger jumping out of the trap and a hidden dragon flying out of the water!
A fierce beast finally got out of imprisonment after 200 years!
For some reason, Nalan Hongwu felt a weak connection with the sword. Besides, he even sensed a combat technique hidden in the sword!
All the previous doubts and bafflement were gone when he sensed the combat technique left in the sword!
No one would leave their best combat techniques in the sword for the enemy if they had hatred in their hearts!
“This is the combat technique, North Ocean (Bei Ming) Sword Essence?!” Complicated expressions flashed across Nalan Hongwu’s old face, including sadness, joy, bitterness, and happiness.
When Dajin was newly established, Fu Beihai, the leader of Kirin Cliff, knew that he couldn’t turn the tide. After the battle with the troops of Dajin, he died voluntarily in the Sky Prison Mountain and left his combat technique in his sword.
Everything was clear now.
“I was the narrow-minded one!” Nalan Hongwu heaved a heavy sigh with complicated feelings inside him. Although he was still regretful, the heavy burden on his mind was removed.
His wrinkled hands caressed the body of the black sword as if he were looking at an old friend. “You can rest in peace now…”
Looking at the surging energy around Nalan Hongwu, Shangguan Yuan was alarmed and knew that he couldn’t wait any longer!
He condensed his warrior qi and smashed his fist toward Nalan Hongwu with vicious force!
However, before his fist touched Nalan Hongwu’s chest, it was blocked completely!
His fist was caught by Nalan Hongwu’s right hand, and the latter pushed and sent Shangguan Yuan flying for dozens of meters!
Holding the black sword, Nalan Hongwu looked quite different now; he looked calm and serene.
“Master! I can’t last any longer!” Elder Fu was fighting with seven peak stage King Warriors!
“I’ll allow you to attack once.”
“Arrogance!” Shangguan Yuan’s voice was chilly. “Both of us are Emperor Warriors. Do you think that you can kill me easily?”
Shangguan Yuan’s warrior qi rushed out and fluttered his clothes.
Then, the invisible force lifted him slowly into the sky, and he was hundreds of meters above the cliff.
He raised his right fist, and his dragon-like aura scattered all the raindrops within 30 meters of him into particles!
Illuminated by the lightning flashes, he looked like a demonic god!
Comparatively, Nalan Hongwu looked like a flying leaf in the sky. He showed no powerful force or any pressure.
With Shangguan Yuan punching out, the abundant and violent warrior qi on his fist dashed out like a dragon.
The force contained in the punch was so great that it felt like it was going to swallow the sky and the earth!
“Swallow Mountain!”
Meanwhile, the black sword in Nalan Hongwu’s hand moved slightly, and it looked like a small boat in the violent ocean of warrior qi released from Shangguan Yuan.
In the next moment, the black sword slashed out steadily when the punch got close to Nalan Hongwu.
An invincible sword essence spread out like ripples!
“North Ocean Sword Essence!”
Even the lightning bolts in the sky were engulfed by something at this instant!
Blood splashed out, and the 100-meter-tall cliff behind Shangguan Yuan was cut into two parts!
“How… How could it be?!” Shangguan Yuan’s expression turned from disbelief to shock and horror!
“As gentle as water benefits all things but does not compete. I finally gained some understanding of this,” Nalan Hongwu stroked his beard and said.
“Do you know why you were defeated?” Nalan Hongwu flew to Shangguan Yuan’s side and asked.
Shangguan Yuan dropped to the ground listlessly, his eyes wide with shock and bafflement. “…”
He seemed to hear his rival say something like…
“Did I hear it wrong??!!”
…
A dark beam of light flashed across the battlefield!
The peak stage King Warriors instantly flew back in horror!
“Shangguan Yuan is dead. Tell me the mastermind behind this, or you’ll die.” Nalan Hongwu stroked his beard and said mildly, “The old Shangguan Yuan wasn’t someone who could make such a crafty scheme.”
In the flashing lightning bolts, these King Warriors looked at the god-like Nalan Hongwu who was standing on the black sword and were shocked to their cores.
