High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 171 - 118: Chen

If there’s a mountain blocking the road, then we break through it; if there’s a forest blocking the road, we simply flatten it.

Thus, a broad and straight, flat path was left behind, astonishing to behold.

Wen Si stepped forward to the checkpoint and said, "Pass through here, and you’ll be in the territory of the Yang Kingdom. I can escort you a bit further."

Chu Wen Ruo, carrying Su Huaiying, turned her head every few steps, looking back towards the direction they came from, absent-mindedly saying:

"Thank you, elder..."

Her words were cut short when she saw a Kunpeng soaring through the sky, followed by Mu Zhao’s faint yet thunderous voice...

The ground shook violently.

Afterward, the Kunpeng fell.

Wen Si sighed, sensing the return of the Dao Realm.

Chu Wen Ruo’s complexion instantly turned pale, trembling as she asked, "Is he... dead?"

Wen Si shook his head and instead laughed, "No, this time he really embarrassed the Martial Saint, Mu Zhao must hate him to death."

Chu Wen Ruo just breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Si added, "But the chance of survival isn’t that high either."

He didn’t speak too firmly... after all, this junior brother wasn’t really going to die.

"Then there’s still a chance to survive."

Chu Wen Ruo forced a smile and patted her chest, whispering, "He definitely won’t die; someone with so much cunning wouldn’t die so easily."

"It’s best if you think that way..."

Wen Si smiled slightly, turned around, glanced at the checkpoint ruins, and said indifferently:

"Please come out, if there’s anything, you can just say it, no need to hide like sneak thieves."

A few breaths later.

Three people emerged from the darkness.

They were the Rain Master, Wind Marquis, and Jiren from the Divine Farmer Bureau.

Three Grandmasters?!... Qingcuo’s eyes narrowed immediately, shielding Chu Wen Ruo and Su Huaiying behind him.

The Rain Master said, "This road is impassable, please rest here for now."

Wen Si coldly glanced at them:

"You think three Grandmasters can stop me?"

Wind Marquis took out a fan from his waist, smiling thinly, "You just barely broke through to Profound Profound not long ago, and lent the Dao Realm away, three Grandmasters aren’t enough... how about adding a Dao marker?"

Wen Si’s heart skipped at the words, he abruptly raised his head, seeing a lady in a Profound Robe standing in the night, unnoticed by him.

Her aura was also that of a Grandmaster but gave an immensely greater sense of danger!

"Shen Xingzhu..." Qingcuo muttered, his face exceedingly grim.

Shen Xingzhu said calmly, "Today, I won’t kill people."

She drew her sword, pointing at the people below, "I’ll only kill demons."

...

For Mu Zhao, these minor injuries mean nothing, not even a scratch, he might as well say they hardly broke his defense.

Chen Kuang’s "Transplant Flower and Connect Wood" passive allows him a ten percent chance to return between ten percent to double the damage he receives.

This passive largely depends on luck.

This time Chen Kuang’s luck was quite good, he indeed reflected the damage back, and at a considerable multiplier, otherwise he couldn’t even inflict those minor injuries.

But even if he returned all the damage he received, it wouldn’t reach a "wounded" state for Mu Zhao.

Since the returned damage is fixed, but their physical realms are vastly different.

Mu Zhao has become a Saint through the martial path, his body is likely invincible, Chen Kuang’s mere scratches are child’s play, attempting to wield a large sword before Guan Yu.

Even if Chen Kuang uses the power of the Dao Realm, Mu Zhao can resist and break it directly.

That’s why Mu Zhao is confident the opponent can’t hurt him.

But he completely overlooked... and no one could foresee.

Chen Kuang had such an unreasonable passive.

Moreover, the biggest problem is that Mu Zhao’s body is borrowed!

A borrowed body, even if Mu Zhao adjusts it to optimal state to exercise his strength, it’s still borrowed.

And, this body hasn’t reached optimum, but is on the verge of collapse...

Chen Kuang, using the "Insightful Observation" passive, saw it clearly.

The young body Mu Zhao borrowed has been pushed to its limit, the immense power from the Martial Saint has infused every bone, muscle, organ forcibly enhancing the body’s strength, without thinking about consequences. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

In Chen Kuang’s perspective, numerous tiny cracks appeared in the boy’s meridians.

Once Mu Zhao leaves, this body will be ruined, likely worse than a normal person, not to mention cultivation.

And in this intense pain, the youth’s consciousness would momentarily stray from the Martial Saint occupying the body.

This body has a problem.

That’s why Chen Kuang’s passive resulted in an effect far beyond expectations.

Those wounds destroyed the body’s last balance, causing the already limit-reached flesh to collapse instantly.

Resulting in the current blood fountain...

More importantly, through that previous strike, Chen Kuang struck a chord, which contained... the Celestial Demon Law.

Chen Kuang, with his suppressed anger, had given the Martial Saint an anger enough to lose reason.

Fortunately, in this world, cultivation requires only sincere faith in a path.

Just say a bit of kindness and morality, no need to truly cultivate the heart.
