Chapter 87

"Senior Brother, why did you hit me?" Hu Xiao shouted in accusation.

"It wasn't me, it was that kid who used a trick," He Ming quickly defended himself. "His spirit technique is very bizarre, capable of turning force against itself."

"Huh?"

Zhong Wen glanced at He Ming in surprise, secretly thinking that although this man looked shifty, his insight was sharp, having quickly seen through the essence of the 'Flower Transference' technique.

"Who do you think you are, kid?" Hu Xiao, without a doubt, glared at Zhong Wen angrily.

"I'm your grandfather!" Zhong Wen, having learned from Zheng Gongming about the despicable character of these two brothers, and seeing their repulsive faces, felt a deep disgust and had no interest in any exchange, directly provoking them.

"You're asking for death!" Hu Xiao, with his fiery temper, could not tolerate such an insult. In a fit of rage, he swung a punch, unleashing the spirit technique of Tiger Shape Fist to its utmost, determined to crush the impudent youth into a pulp.

Zhong Wen sneered, lightly flicked his foot, and picked up the golden saber that Zheng Gongming had thrown on the ground, swinging it at Hu Xiao with a powerful strike.

The speed of this saber strike was as fast as lightning.

The power of this saber strike was indescribable.

The golden saber emitted a brilliant light, and a faint sound of dragon roars could be heard around it.

With one strike, the saber seemed to carry the power of a celestial dragon, overwhelmingly dominant and invincible!

This was the Diamond-grade spirit technique Zhong Wen had obtained from Thunder Sound Valley: Overwhelming Heaven and Subduing Dragon Saber!

"Junior Brother, be careful!" He Ming, who had never seen such a saber technique, was shocked and quickly warned.

Hu Xiao's fleshy fists dared not face such a devastating saber strike head-on, and he was terrified. In a panic, he sidestepped and rolled on the ground several times, barely avoiding the main force of the saber, but still suffered from the aftermath, his face pale and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"What kind of saber technique is this!" Zheng Gongming was overwhelmed with excitement.

For a moment, he even considered putting aside his pride and asking Zhong Wen to be his teacher to learn the saber technique.

"Sister, did you learn that saber technique from Brother Zhong too?" Zheng Qiyuan asked his sister excitedly.

Zheng Yue Ting hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not hide it from her younger brother: "The 'Eighteen Waves of the Broken Wave' is stored in the library of the Drifting Flower Palace. As a disciple, I can learn it directly."

Zheng Qiyuan's eyes turned red with envy and he asked, "What about the saber technique Brother Zhong just used?"

"I've never seen it before," Zheng Yue Ting shook her head. "After all, I've been a disciple for a short time, and I don't know all the techniques in the Drifting Flower Palace."

Her words also revealed a hint of longing.

"Charge together!" He Ming and Hu Xiao were not principled people, often bullying the weak. Seeing that Zhong Wen was too powerful, they did not hesitate.

One used Tiger Shape Fist to strike at Zhong Wen's face, while the other used 'Crane Dance in the Sky' to attack his back. Their coordination was extremely skilled, ensuring that no matter which way Zhong Wen dodged, he would be within the attack range of the other. The tiger and crane shapes echoed each other, sealing all escape routes.

"Be careful!" Zheng Yue Ting, knowing the terror of 'Tiger and Crane in Tandem,' couldn't help but shout in alarm.

But Zhong Wen suddenly threw the golden saber into the air and lightly flicked his hands in two different directions.

In the next moment, to Zheng Yue Ting's surprise, He Ming's fist smashed into Hu Xiao's nose, and he himself received a powerful Tiger Shape Fist to the abdomen.

"Ah!" Both of them, one holding his nose and the other his abdomen, let out cries of pain.

The golden saber then fell, and Zhong Wen caught it, slashing with a graceful stroke. Under the power of the 'Overwhelming Heaven and Subduing Dragon Saber,' Hu Xiao had no resistance and was split from head to toe.

"Junior Brother!" He Ming, holding his abdomen, his eyes bloodshot, "Damn you, how dare you..."

Before he could finish, Zhong Wen's figure appeared in front of He Ming without warning.

Star Spirit-grade movement technique: Nine Palace Soul-Confusing Steps!

The first time he used this movement technique, the effect was surprisingly good. Before He Ming could react, a dominant and invincible saber shadow fell from above, and he met the same fate as Hu Xiao, splitting into two bloody halves.

"Brother Zhong is so amazing!" Zheng Qiyuan waved his arms fiercely, his blood boiling.

Zheng Yue Ting's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhong Wen, the young man holding the golden saber, who looked like a celestial being descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring. He had saved her and her family multiple times, and the debt of gratitude was too heavy to repay in this lifetime.

Even someone as straightforward as her could sense a complex emotion when facing Zhong Wen.

This silly girl!

Zheng Gongming looked at his daughter, then at Zhong Wen in the distance, sighed, and remained silent.

Zhong Wen, however, was unaware of the thoughts of the Zheng family. He surveyed the surroundings and saw that Shangguan Junyi and Ye Qinglian had already gained the upper hand over their opponents.

Nangong Ling, who had just started re-cultivating, was already displaying the power of Star Spirit-grade techniques. Her figure moved unpredictably, left and right, forward and back, holding off four Earth Wheel cultivators on her own.

However, the number of Earth Wheel cultivators brought by Wu Qi far exceeded Shangguan Mingyue's side. The Golden Saber Sect disciples were too weak to be of much use, and the Shengyu Trading Company members, surrounding Shangguan Mingyue, were struggling to resist the Silver Ring Trading Company's attacks, suffering heavy casualties.

Zhong Wen sighed, planted the golden saber in the ground, and flashed into the midst of the Silver Ring Trading Company's Earth Wheel cultivators. He extended his hands, making light, graceful movements.

"Ouch!"

"Damn!"

"What are you doing?"

"You little punk, how dare you sneak attack me!"

"I knew you were a spy!"

"To hell with you, you're the spy!"

The Silver Ring Trading Company's experts seemed to have deep-seated grudges against each other, attacking their own people mercilessly. With a chorus of screams and curses, over thirty Earth Wheel cultivators soon lay on the ground, leaving only Sai Baiwei standing, trembling in shock, unable to believe what had just happened.

"Damn, was I dreaming just now? Pinch me to check."

"Pinch yourself, why pinch me!"

"What a terrifying young man, thank goodness he's on our side!"

"He looks only sixteen or seventeen, but he'll definitely be a Spirit Venerable in the future."

"Too bad my daughter is already married, otherwise I would have sent her to his room."

"Your daughter? Forget it."

"What do you mean?"

The pressure lifted, the Shengyu Trading Company members began to discuss, all amazed by Zhong Wen's terrifying strength.

"Is he really that strong?" Shangguan Mingyue's eyes widened, her hand covering her mouth, unable to recover.

"Truly a remarkable young man." Nangong Ling's eyes sparkled, her mind filled with thoughts.

"Thank you." Shangguan Mingyue suddenly said.

"You're welcome." Nangong Ling smiled, the first friendly exchange between the two.

Zhong Wen took a step forward, and Sai Baiwei, like a frightened bird, shuddered and took a step back.

"Sai, I let you go last time, but I didn't expect you to cause trouble again," Zhong Wen said with a half-smile. "Do you have too many spirit crystals to spend, or do you want to buy your life again?"

"It's you!" Sai Baiwei's face changed dramatically, his body trembling uncontrollably. "You're the black-clothed man from the Heavenly Saber Alliance!"

"Ah!"

A figure flew from a distance and crashed to the ground, shattering tables and chairs.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was the Du Elder from the Void Mastery Sect. He was covered in blood, his clothes torn, and his right arm severed at the shoulder, looking extremely miserable, far from his previous high-ranking demeanor.

Even so, Shangguan Junyi had no intention of letting him go. She used the 'Cloud Fairy Steps' to instantly appear in front of Du Beijiang.

"Since you colluded with the Silver Ring Trading Company to bully my Yue, after you die, I will visit the Void Mastery Sect to demand an explanation."

Shangguan Junyi's eyes were cold, her body radiating boundless killing intent, far from her usual gentle and kind appearance, which left Zhong Wen feeling quite intrigued.

Du Beijiang's face changed, and he tried to defend himself, but Shangguan Junyi's delicate hand lightly tapped, and two huge spirals of spirit energy, one red and one black, appeared in the air, revolving around him.

The black spiral exerted a powerful pulling force, while the red spiral emitted a repelling force. Under the influence of these opposing forces, Du Beijiang's body was helplessly pulled towards the black spiral.

He was both shocked and terrified, using all his spirit energy to strike with his remaining left arm. The spirit energy transformed into two golden snakes, opening their mouths and baring their sharp fangs, biting towards the black spiral.

However, upon touching the spiral, the two golden snakes were torn apart, their bodies twisting and deforming, quickly turning into specks of spirit energy light and dissipating in the air.

"No~"

Without the golden snakes, Du Beijiang had no resistance left. He let out a scream as his entire body was sucked into the spirit energy spiral, crushed into pieces, and turned into a pool of blood and flesh.

Seeing this brutal scene, Sai Baiwei's face turned pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Qi, who was still fighting the woman in green.

This look filled him with despair.

The always formidable Three-Ring Gold-Clothed Executor Wu Qi was now like a rat in the street, being chased by Ye Qinglian.

It was unknown what spirit technique Ye Qinglian had cultivated, but the green threads of spirit energy seemed to have a corrosive power, easily piercing through Wu Qi's spirit energy. Under her control, the green threads moved like living beings, flexibly attacking Wu Qi from all angles, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Wait!"

Seeing that he couldn't fight or escape, Wu Qi had no choice but to stop and shout.
