Fighting a Half Step to Yang Corporeal Realm
"Second Sky of Rampage!"
Traces of blood immediately crawled up Zhuo Wen's arm as a huge blood-colored ape condensed behind him. Soon after, the ape let out a loud roar as a huge blood-colored fist suddenly blasted out. The fist, which was covered in a bloody glow, heavily collided with Liu Jiwu's claw.
Rumble!
A thunderous explosion suddenly rang out. A dazzling light, as if the sun had appeared in front of their eyes, was so dazzling that it caused many people to squint their eyes.
And at the place where the two collided, the powerful energy produced a huge shockwave. Like ripples in water, it spread out in all directions. Some weaker cultivators were even sent flying by this shockwave.
In mid-air, Han Xue felt her body relax and a gentle energy wrapped around her. Then, she was gently sent to Han Yu and the others behind her.
"Sister, are you alright?" Han Yu took a step forward and caught Han Xue in her arms as she asked anxiously.
Han Xue shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just suffered some minor injuries."
At this point, Han Xue once again focused her gaze on the ball of light that was almost as dazzling as the sun. She muttered softly, "That person seems to be Zhuowen?"
Han Xue's voice was very soft but it was still heard by Han Yu who was standing behind her. When Han Yu heard the two words' Zhuowen ', her delicate body trembled and she stared blankly at the ball of light in front of her.
The blazing ball of light gradually faded away. Two muffled groans sounded from within the ball of light at the same time. Then, under everyone's gaze, the two figures retreated a dozen steps with a 'whoosh' sound. They only managed to stop their footsteps after drawing two deep depressions in the ground.
Liu Jiwu rubbed the numb web between his thumb and forefinger. He squinted his eyes and stared at a tall and slender figure not far away. When he saw the face of the figure clearly, his eyes were filled with shock.
Originally, he thought that the people who could exchange a blow with him should at least be those old bastards of the older generation in the town. But now, what appeared in front of him was a fifteen or sixteen year old boy with a cold expression and a thin body.
A teenager of 60 or 61 years old could actually withstand a blow from a warrior at the Peak of the Yin Void Realm. Although it was not his full strength, Liu Jiwu could feel that the mysterious teenager in front of him had not used his full strength either.
The dozens of Liu Family experts behind Liu Jiwu, as well as the members of the Flowing Flame Mercenary Group in the encampment, were all shocked as they stared at the young figure quietly standing on the cliff. They never imagined that this skinny and weak looking youth would actually miraculously block Liu Jiwu's attack.
"Sister!
He doesn't seem to be Zhuowen. "In the encampment, Han Yu looked at Liu Jiwu, and Liu Jiu.
The young man's face was not the Zhuo Wen they knew. Zhuo Wen's face was delicate and had a trace of harmlessness, but the young man in front of them had an extremely cold expression, as if he had a deep grudge.
Han Xue's beautiful eyes were filled with bewilderment and confusion. When the young man appeared to save her just now, the voice was very familiar. She was certain that the voice belonged to Zhuo Wen. However, the completely different face that appeared in front of her now made her feel a little puzzled.
"This teenager seems to be unrelated to our Flowing Flame Mercenary Group. Why did he save us?" Han Yu, who was beside her, also had a puzzled look on her face.
"Leader, this teenager seems to have been brought back by Captain Feng Yu!" A young woman suddenly came to Han Xue's side and said respectfully.
"Feng Yu?
The three of them came back from the Annihilation Forest? "Han Xue's beautiful eyes looked around and suddenly saw Feng Yu and the other two hurrying over.
"Leader!
Are you all okay? "
Feng Yu and the other two also saw that Liu Jiwu's attack was blocked by Zhuowen. The worry in their hearts was completely relieved. Among them, the red-dressed girl, Xiao Qian, stared at Zhuowen with the most complicated expression. She could not imagine that the teenager in front of her actually contained such powerful strength.
Previously, she was already amazed that he could kill Liu Yu Feng by himself, but now, he easily blocked Liu Jiwu's attack.
Thinking about the heroic figure and suffocating strength of the teenager in front of her, and thinking about how she had mocked him before, the red-dressed girl's cheeks could not help but burn.
Seeing that the three people in front of her were safe and sound, Han Xue let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, "It's good that you're all okay. By the way, did you really find this powerful teenager?"
Feng Yu looked at Han Xue doubtfully and nodded, "This little brother is called Xiao Se. We met him by chance in the Annihilation Forest. This time, he took the initiative to help our Flowing Flame Mercenary Group. He also said that he is your friend."
"We are friends?"
A trace of doubt appeared on Han Xue's pretty face. She did not remember having such a teenager among her friends.
Although she had a friend who was about the same age as the teenager in front of her, the two of them looked completely different.
Feng Yu seemed to have seen the doubt on Han Xue's face and said carefully, "Leader, don't you know this person?"
Han Xue shook her head and said helplessly, "I really don't know him, but it's naturally a good thing that someone is helping our mercenary group. I'm just afraid that although this teenager blocked Liu Jiwu's attack, it will be difficult for him to defeat Liu Jiwu."
…
In the open space, Liu Jiwu squinted his eyes at the teenager in front of him and suddenly laughed, "What is your name, little brother?"
"Xiao Se!" Zhuowen was expressionless as he replied coldly.
"So it's little brother Xiao Se!
Our Liu Family doesn't seem to have any grievances with little brother Xiao Se. Why are you obstructing our Liu Family?
I see that you are quite strong. Why don't you join our Liu Family as a guest? I'm sure you will be satisfied with the treatment. "
Liu Jiwu's tone was very polite. He could feel that there was an unfathomable aura on Zhuowen. This aura made him quite wary. Moreover, Zhuowen was so young and already so strong. If he was allowed to develop further, he would definitely become an expert.
With the existence of such a young expert, the Liu Family's strength would definitely reach a higher level. They might even be able to suppress the annoying Mercenary Alliance.
Zhuowen was stunned. He did not expect Liu Jiwu to not attack him and instead, wanted to recruit him.
He sneered in his heart. He was the one who killed the Liu Family's son, Liu Yuan. Now, the Liu Family's third head wanted to recruit him to become a guest of the Liu Family. This was really ironic.
"If you want me to become a guest of the Liu Family, I can. However, I have a condition. I heard that your Liu Family has found the exact location of the rare treasure. After you have obtained the rare treasure, you will let me choose two treasures of my choice. Then, I will agree to your request."
After Zhuowen finished speaking, he stood on the spot and looked coldly at Liu Jiwu.
Liu Jiwu's face was already filled with joy when he heard the first half of Zhuowen's sentence. However, his smile froze when he heard the second half of Zhuowen's sentence.
He looked at the sneering young man in front of him and finally realized that the young man in front of him had no intention of agreeing to become a guest of the Liu Family.
The Liu Family had not confirmed the exact number of rare treasures and what they looked like. However, the young man in front of him immediately asked for an exorbitant price and reserved two treasures of his choice. This was obviously a disguised rejection.
"It seems that little brother Xiao Se is not sincere at all!
However, I can tell you that our Liu Family has already gone to fight for the rare treasure with the Mercenary Alliance.
Based on your words, you should be here for the rare treasure as well. However, your goal is obviously going to fail. "
Zhuo Wen's face darkened when he heard Liu Jiwu's words. He had already confirmed that the legendary treasure in the Annihilation Forest was the place where Ba Xue had fallen. Naturally, he had come all the way to the Annihilation Forest for the Ice Fire Saint Symbol in Ba Xue's hands.
"Tell me the exact location of the rare treasure or die!" Zhuowen stared at Liu Jiwu and said indifferently as he stretched out his right hand.
"Hehe!
I gave you some face and you really want a yard after taking an inch!
Do you really think that you are invincible just because you blocked my attack?
Today, I will let you know that there is always someone better than you. "
Due to Zhuo Wen's merciless words, Liu Jiwu's face gradually turned gloomy. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He knew that since he had already fallen out with the young man in front of him, he had to make him stay. Otherwise, he would be a huge problem for the Liu Family in the future.
After all, the young man in front of him was already so powerful at such a young age. As time passed, perhaps even the Liu Family would find it difficult to control him.
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on Liu Jiwu's face. Soon after, he stomped his foot on the ground and the powerful force caused cracks to appear on the ground.
"Brat!
I have already given you a chance. Since you did not seize it, you can go to hell! "
Liu Jiwu arched his waist and shot towards Zhuo Wen like an arrow leaving the bow. The powerful sound of wind breaking even created a ring-shaped shockwave in the air that spread out in all directions. Waves of Yuan Power undulations that were as powerful as a hundred thousand feet tall mountain were also emitted from his body.
Once the Yuan Power undulations were formed, the entire space instantly became somewhat oppressive. Some of the weaker practitioners in the surroundings could not withstand this undulation. They spat out blood and retreated a long distance before they gradually adapted to it.
"What a powerful Yuan Power undulation. Liu Jiwu has actually broken through and reached the half-step Corporeal Yang stage!
He did not use his full strength just now. "
In the encampment, Han Xue also felt the powerful Yuan Power undulations in the air and a snow-white color appeared on her face.
Hearing Han Xue's words, the expressions of Feng Yu and the other two slightly changed. Their gazes immediately became somewhat worried as they looked at Zhuo Wen. The young man in front of them was the last hope of their Flowing Flame Mercenary Group. If he lost, their Flowing Flame Mercenary Group would very likely disappear completely.
Compared to the shock of the surroundings, Zhuowen, who was the focus of attention, had an extremely calm expression. He indifferently looked at the approaching Liu Jiwu. Zhuowen suddenly patted his Qiankun bag and pulled out the Dragon Rune Saber that was as tall as a person.
The tip of his foot pushed off the ground and the Dragon Aura in his body poured into the Dragon Rune Saber. Soon after, a deafening dragon roar erupted from the Dragon Rune Saber. At the same time, a pressure that was as heavy as a mountain pressed down on the entire space.
Bang!
The entire space seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment. Even Liu Jiwu's body was momentarily frozen by the dragon pressure contained within the dragon roar.
It was this momentary pause that allowed Zhuowen to appear above Liu Jiwu like a ghost. His right hand, which was holding the saber hilt, slightly tightened. Soon after, the blade of the Dragon Rune Saber was like a giant door that slammed into Liu Jiwu's body.
Boom!
When everyone came back to their senses from the dragon's roar, a figure smashed into the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater in the ground.
