Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 717: 4-Star Earth Realm

Instead, Zhang Fei took the moonlit whisper sword and pointed at Ling Baozi. ”I give you two choices, Old Man. Submit to me or suffer.”

”Hahaha.” Ling Baozi laughed out loud at Zhang Feiʼs threat. ”I admit that your guts are really big, Brat! In the past thousand years, no one has dared to threaten me, including my emperor. Unfortunately, your guts wonʼt be able to save you from me, and I will capture you today.”

Ling Baozi instantly released his aura to suppress him. However, the old manʼs expression turned serious, as Zhang Fei remained calm despite the pressure.

After he used his enhanced condition ability and level three soul connect, Zhang Fei immediately disappeared from Ling Baoziʼs sight. The old man immediately protected his body and spread his senses to search for him, but his efforts were futile.

”Your cultivation is indeed at the 5-Moon Divine Expansion realm, but you will never be able to see me, let alone capture me.” After hearing Zhang Feiʼs voice, Ling Baozi immediately turned around and attacked behind him, but his attack only hit empty air.

Ling Baozi scowled in response, but Zhang Feiʼs powerful attack struck his chest directly, sending him rolling through the air. The old man immediately stabilized himself before using his technique, and a wind vortex shot out in four different directions, covering the surrounding area. ʼHow can his speed be that fast? I canʼt sense his presence in this area, and his current attack power isnʼt comparable to a cultivator in the ten mortal realms, but itʼs already on par with a cultivator in the seven divine realms.ʼ

”Your attack is fast, but not fast enough to hit me, Old Man.” Ling Baozi reacted by swinging his hand toward Zhang Feiʼs voice, and a crosswind Qi blasted strongly in his direction, but it didnʼt hit anything like before. ”Taste my attack.”

As soon as he sensed a deadly attack from ahead, Ling Baozi immediately crossed both his arms over his chest, and Zhang Feiʼs attacks directly hit his arms.

*Crack... Crack...*

Ling Baoziʼs expression changed in pain after his bones cracked in several places. ʼDamn it! How is this possible? How could his attack break through my defenses and crack my arms?ʼ

Ling Baozi swallowed a pill and used his Qi to protect his arms, but he still didnʼt realize that Zhang Fei had moved behind him, and he launched a powerful punch at his back.

”Gah!” Ling Baozi screamed in pain as his body slid forward, but Zhang Fei immediately moved above him with his right leg raised, swinging it at the old manʼs head. ”Gah!”

At high speed, Ling Baoziʼs body shot towards the ground and slammed there, causing a loud bang.

”Cough… Cough…” Ling Baozi immediately wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Zhang Fei, who was casually standing in midair. ʼNo wonder Huangfu Ziyuan and Huangfu Lian couldnʼt find him; his speed was too quick even for me.ʼ

Ling Baozi immediately stood up, and the strange shape of his eyes caused Zhang Fei to freeze. Immediately, the old man flew towards him and launched an attack, but it penetrated his illusion. ʼSince when did he use an illusion?ʼ

Just as Ling Baozi was thinking about this, an artificial forest with many big trees suddenly appeared around him, which shocked the old man even more.

Without thinking twice, Ling Baozi immediately fled out, but countless tree roots and branches immediately moved to attack him. Regrettably, they posed no threat to the old man, who could effortlessly demolish everything.

However, those tree roots and branches kept regenerating and attacking Ling Baozi, and other large trees suddenly blocked the previously open exit.

While Ling Baozi was busy destroying them, nine darkness creatures had already appeared in the artificial forest. They immediately launched themselves at him and attacked him, but they were simply too weak to fight the old man, and they disappeared after being hit by his wind blades.

ʼIs that brat a demon?ʼ Ling Baozi suddenly felt an intense heat from above, prompting him to look up into the sky, where a collection of dark flames floated. ʼShit! I have to get out of this damn forest immediately!ʼ

*Boom*

As soon as Ling Baozi exerted significant power, the artificial forest exploded. He flew away from the area just before dark flames rained down, burning the remains of the artificial forest and the ground below.

The sky above quickly turned dark, and countless abyssal lightning rained down on Ling Baozi, forcing him to increase his speed to the maximum to dodge their attacks. ʼDoes that brat intend to drain my Qi before fighting me head-on?ʼ

Unfortunately, Ling Baozi misunderstood the intention behind his actions. Zhang Fei had already realized from the start that he couldnʼt defeat him with his current strength. He only wanted to test the effectiveness of all his abilities against a cultivator in the seven divine realms.

*Roar*

Ling Baozi was startled by the loud roar as the abyssal lightning tribulation vanished, propelling him backward. Soon, a mass of darkness appeared and surrounded the old man, but he dispelled it by exploding his wind element.

This time, an ethereal giant demon claw appeared above Ling Baozi, but the old man immediately took out a sword and slashed it upwards, causing the claw to split in two and disappear. ʼWhat really happened? Donʼt Xian Feng and the others know that this brat is a demon? If they were aware that he was a demon, they would never permit their daughters to engage in a relationship with him.ʼ

Ling Baozi immediately changed his mind after four creatures with four different elements appeared around him. A giant salamander represented the fire element, a wind fairy represented the wind element, a winged race represented the light element, and a dark fairy represented the darkness element.

ʼHoly shit! Does that brat have four elements?ʼ Ling Baozi exclaimed in shock as he observed the four creatures. ʼThe only person who has three elements in this realm is Xian Lianghua, but now a brat has surpassed him with his four elements.ʼ

The four creatures quickly launched attacks with four different elements towards Ling Baozi, but the old man easily repelled their attacks. He then flew at high speed and attacked them one by one, causing all four to disappear.

ʼThis brat is really weird! He can break free from my eye abilities, and he also has four different elements. Moreover, light and darkness always oppose each other, but he has both in his body.ʼ Ling Baozi frowned as countless plant spores surrounded him, but he immediately covered his nose with Qi so as not to inhale them. ʼWhat kind of abilities does he have exactly? How can he create a forest and plant spores out of nowhere?ʼ

Suddenly, Zhang Fei appeared a short distance in front of Ling Baozi, and four different elements enveloped his body. He immediately channeled his four elements into his sword, forming a giant Qi blade.

”Come, you whelp! Show me what youʼve got!” Ling Baozi also did the same thing as Zhang Fei, and a giant green Qi blade extended out from his sword. ”I admit that you are extraordinary, but you will never be able to defeat me with your current strength. You should surrender and follow me to meet my emperor, or my attack this time will make you suffer.”

”Honestly, I never thought about defeating you, Old Man.” Ling Baozi frowned as countless arrows in four different colors appeared behind Zhang Fei. ”I realize that my strength is still far from lacking to fight a powerful cultivator like you, and I just want to test my skills with you.”

Ling Baozi frowned at that, but those arrows shot straight at him. Simultaneously, Zhang Fei swung his sword at him, but the old man swiftly countered his attack with his own sword, disregarding the arrows.

Those arrows quickly surrounded Ling Baozi, but they disappeared just before they hit his body.

*Boom*

When Zhang Fei and Ling Baoziʼs Qi sword blades collided, a huge explosion erupted in the area, and the collisionʼs powerful shockwave forced both of them back quite a distance.

Ling Baozi immediately moved behind him and grabbed his shoulder. However, he screamed in pain as Zhang Fei grabbed his hand and used the demon-absorbing, devouring art, and life-absorption abilities at the same time. ”Argh!”

Ling Baozi tried to pull his hand back, but Zhang Fei grabbed it very tightly and accelerated all three of his abilities, causing the old man to weaken at a rapid pace. ”For an experienced cultivator like you, you are too stupid to think you can capture me.”

Ling Baozi immediately stabbed his sword toward Zhang Fei, but his movement was like slow motion in his eyes, allowing him to avoid it easily.

Zhang Fei immediately moved behind Ling Baozi and locked his hand behind him. He then punched his other hand, causing his sword to fall to the ground.

”Argh!” Ling Baozi could only scream in pain as most of his strength, soul force, and life force had been absorbed by Zhang Fei, causing him to grow weaker with each passing second.

”Stop it, husband.” Shang Yumei said this as she appeared by Zhang Feiʼs side, and she immediately sealed Ling Baoziʼs cultivation.

Zhang Fei withdrew his three abilities, but two consecutive notifications immediately appeared in his mind.

[Ding.]

[You gained 4,500,000 Qi from Ling Baozi.]

[Congratulations! Your cultivation broke through to the 4-Star Earth Realm.]

In that instant, the sky above that location turned pitch black, and hundreds or thousands of lightning bolts flashed above it. ”Yumei, take this old man away, and I will undergo my breakthrough.”

”All right.”

After Shang Yumei took Ling Baozi away, Zhang Fei immediately summoned Lei Que out of the beast space and jumped onto its back. ”Go to the source of my lightning tribulation!”

”Yes, Master!” Lei Que immediately brought Zhang Fei into the dark clouds, something that no cultivator would ever dare to do, including the lightning fairy, Lei Ting.

In a slightly distant area, Ling Baozi, who was already in a weak and helpless state, stared at Shang Yumei in shock. Although his cultivation had been sealed, he was still an experienced cultivator, and he immediately knew that she was much stronger than him or all the cultivators in the Nine Stars Realm. ʼThis woman must have come from the upper realms! How could a brat like him possibly get her as his wife?ʼ

Shang Yumei did not care about Ling Baozi. Her gaze was only focused on the sky, as she could feel that Zhang Feiʼs lightning tribulation this time was quite powerful. Despite this, she was confident in Zhang Feiʼs ability to overcome it, as his lightning body cultivation technique had advanced to the half-perfection stage, and he had practiced in several locations with powerful lightning.

Huli Yaohu suddenly spoke to her.

Shang Yumei responded with a light nod. ʼIsnʼt that great, master? I hope he can reach the seven divine realms as soon as possible, and I will help him reach higher levels after that. Once he becomes truly powerful, he can help you reshape your body, and you can take revenge on that person.ʼ

ʼWell, thatʼs true.ʼ Shang Yumei replied with a nod. ʼIʼve met Huli Xianniang several times before we met, and her golden fox race is indeed extraordinary. Moreover, I heard that she was infatuated with the Nameless One, but I donʼt know for sure about their relationship. If they have a serious relationship, your chances of getting revenge on her will be diminutive or even nonexistent.ʼ

Huli Yaohu let out a heavy sigh.

In the Azure Sky Realm, Hong Xinxin sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] with a serious expression. ʼHow could he suddenly breakthrough? Iʼm pretty sure heʼs still far from breaking through, and he still needs some time to do so.ʼ

”Has Longʼer broken through again, Grandma Xinxin?” Wu Lianzhi inquired as she entered the room.

”Longʼer is in the process of his breakthrough right now.” Hong Xinxin then lifted Wu Lianzhi onto her lap, but the little girl was embarrassed to see Zhang Xiaolong [3] naked. ”Your cultivation has already broken through two minor stages, even though you have only drunk his Yang Qi once.”

”Hehe.” Wu Lianzhi giggled and opened her palms. ”Give me more of his Yang Qi, Grandma. I want to break through to the Core Realm soon, and I will be the youngest cultivator to reach that stage.”

Hong Xinxin smiled and gave Wu Lianzhi a few bottles of Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs Yang Qi. ”Drink it.”

”En.” Wu Lianzhi immediately opened one and drank it. ”Grandma, why do I experience an unusual sensation whenever I drink Longʼerʼs Yang Qi?”

Hong Xinxin shook her head, particularly since she was still unaware that Zhang Xiaolong [3] was not a fox demon but rather a lust demon. ”All right, you can go back to your room now and cultivate his Yang Qi.”

”Yes, Grandma.”

After Wu Lianzhi left, Hong Xinxin immediately took out her interspatial communication device, contacted Murong Qianying, and asked her about Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan. She didnʼt have to wait long to get an answer. ”Theyʼre back, huh?”

.

Within the Shang Clan of the Red Sun Realm, Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan had already taken their seats in the main hall.

Meanwhile, Shang Chenguang, Shang Chongyun, Shang Tinglong, and Ran Keqing stood in front of the two with suppressed anger, especially since the two of them clearly wanted to get rid of them by sending them to the Netherworld Realm.

Shang Huaqiang immediately gave Shang Chongyun the teleportation device he got from Cheng Gaoji. ”I donʼt know how you guys are going to do it, but you must successfully take over the Sky Jade Realm by using those demons. If you fail, you donʼt have to return to this realm, or Iʼll kill you all. Do you guys understand?”

”Yes.” Shang Chongyun immediately led the other three people to leave the Shang Clan, and he sent a voice transmission to Murong Qianying, informing her of their departure.

Fei Qinyuan then asked her husband. ”Has Cheng Gaoji contacted you? Has he arrived at the lower realms?”

”Cheng Gaoji contaced me yesterday, but he is still checking something in the middle realms, and he will go straight to the lower realms afterward.” Shang Huaqiang then pondered for a moment. ”What do you think if I send young cultivators to the Sky Jade Realm? We canʼt send cultivators to the seven divine realms, but we can send cultivators to the quasi-divine realm.”

”Are you doubting Cheng Gaoji?” Shang Huaqiang nodded to his wife. ”I got information that the Nameless One and the others are in another realm, so I think itʼs okay if we send some quasi-divine realm cultivators to the Sky Jade Realm, and they wonʼt be able to do anything to stop us. However, Princess Feng Yao is staying in that realm now, so we should send other people who have no direct connection to our clan.”

Shang Huaqiang agreed with that. ”I will think about it first, and I will send them straight to that realm after I find the right candidates.”

Several hours passed quickly, and the sky had become bright again. Zhang Fei immediately sent Lei Que into the beast space and landed in front of Shang Yumei and Ling Baozi. Without saying anything to the old man, he opened the portal to the training space, causing him to be shocked when Ling Long walked out of it.

”How did you get together with him, Longʼer?” Ling Baozi asked in shock.
