I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 160: Battle of Fourth Tier

Zhang Yuan was not a bloodthirsty individual.

Although hunting allowed him to acquire valuable source material, he never actively harmed the innocent.

But if someone provoked Zhang Yuan, standing in opposition and becoming his enemy,

he certainly would not be merciful!

Now Zhang Yuan was considered a vessel for possession, and forced to part with his close kin.

Frustration and resentment had already built up within him, now completely bursting forth.

Seeing the enemy scatter and flee, Zhang Yuan instinctively began his pursuit underwater.

With the added power of the Water Profound Communication ability of the White Dragon Loach, together with fourfold agility speed, he propelled dozens of steps with a kick of his legs and instantly caught up with a warrior.

The opponent was swimming upwards, but suddenly felt his ankle tighten, and helplessly was dragged down.

Before this warrior could react, a hand swiftly gripped the back of their neck.

Snap!

This skilled warrior immediately suffocated and died!

Zhang Yuan released his grip and turned to charge towards another nearby warrior.

His movements underwater were light, quick, and agile, his diving speed faster than a fish, and he did not need to surface for air.

So, from the moment these elite warriors entered the water,

they had become Zhang Yuan’s prey!

At this moment on the deck of the warship, a nondescript Tier Four martial artist coldly watched the water’s surface.

Master Sun appeared beside him, frowning and asking, "Still not caught?"

The Tier Four martial artist shook his head, his eyes somber and obscure.

He had a feeling something wasn’t right.

Logically, the dozen warriors who had just gone down were all elites, everyone adept at swimming, and capturing a mere Tier Two or Three small fry shouldn’t have been a problem.

Yet this Tier Four martial artist felt something was amiss!

"Ah!"

A sailor on the warship suddenly gasped in surprise.

In the distance, a body floated to the surface, its face pale and eyes wide with anger, maintaining the expression of despair and pain from its final moments.

Soon after, the second body, third, fourth...

One body after another of the warriors floated up, the scene so harrowing that those witnessing the spectacle couldn’t help but feel their skin crawl.

The Tier Four martial artist’s eye twitched slightly, silently clenching his fists.

Beside him, Master Sun’s expression was uncertain: "Master Shen, who is this person?"

The Tier Four martial artist shook his head—he wanted to know too!

At this moment, a warrior hurriedly arrived on deck to report: "Master Shen, only one person is missing from the cabin; it’s Zhang Yuan from the Linhe Sub-Branch!"

"Zhang Yuan?"

Master Shen’s eyes flashed, and information related to Zhang Yuan instantly surfaced in his mind.

"So it’s him?"

Master Sun exclaimed, "This person has exceptional talent; he’s one of the best martial candidates selected this time!"

"Unfortunately, he’s not very clever."

Master Shen snorted coldly, "No matter how talented, he cannot be spared!"

He turned his head towards Master Sun, "Brother Sun, please assist me with spellcasting to help eliminate this obstinate person!"

"Great Celestial Venerable!"

Master Sun stepped back, raising his palm in salute, and immediately formed a magic formula with his hands, casting a talisman towards Master Shen.

The talisman struck Master Shen and suddenly transformed into a clear and sparkling light.

It wrapped around him completely!

The next moment, Master Shen leapt up abruptly, like an eagle spreading its wings, ready to soar into the heavens.

Yet his figure suddenly plummeted, instantly diving into the water.

Remarkably, he made no splash!

Upon entering the water, this Tier Four expert immediately locked onto Zhang Yuan’s location.

Martial Arts’ three realms and nine tiers, when a martial artist reaches the pinnacle of Tier Three Transformation Realm, the training of the physique reaches its limit.

Once breaking through Tier Four, the mere increase in physical strength is limited.

The five senses and intuition will greatly improve.

Most importantly, they can open the Sea of Qi, condense true qi, and train in higher-level martial arts.

Master Shen had been at Tier Four for years, with abundant Dantian True Qi and extensive experience in the martial world.

Though he was surprised by Zhang Yuan’s strength,

he didn’t think Zhang Yuan could escape his grasp.

Nonetheless, for caution, the Tier Four expert still invited Master Sun to enhance himself with the Water-Splitting Wave spell.

He caught sight of Zhang Yuan’s figure and promptly threw a flying spike.

This hidden weapon was only half a foot long, about the thickness of a finger, sharply pointed and outfitted with three grooves!

Infused with Master Shen’s powerful true qi, the flying spike shot through the river’s resistance without a hint of interruption, aiming straight for the vital spot on Zhang Yuan’s chest.

Its speed was astonishing!

However, as soon as the Tier Four expert entered the water, Zhang Yuan sensed it.

Realizing it was the Tier Four expert coming down, he immediately entered the highest alert state.

All the enemies and opponents Zhang Yuan had encountered before were martial artists who entered into force.

He had yet to battle with a Tier Four martial artist.

But Zhang Yuan did not intend to flee!

He had painstakingly trained day and night, constantly accumulating source material to improve the Divine Nest’s abilities.

Now also fortified by the Host’s Power.

And was in an environment perfectly suited to him.

If Zhang Yuan lacked the courage and confidence to fight, then his past efforts would be worthless!

Watching the flying spike shooting towards him, Zhang Yuan sidestepped and grabbed it with his hand.

This extremely sharp hidden weapon suddenly quivered, its inner true power exploding, forcefully shaking off his fingers.

But Zhang Yuan endured the pain in his palm, flexed and closed his fingers, grasping it tightly again!

His gaze locked onto Master Shen.

A Tier Four martial artist was indeed formidable; on land, he wouldn’t have confidence in catching it.

Yet Master Shen was even more surprised.

The flying spike he threw was his unique hidden weapon, each one made from thousand-forged refined iron to withstand the infusion of maximum true qi. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This particular flying spike carried seventy percent of Master Shen’s true power.

Even underwater, across dozens of steps, it could easily penetrate heavy armor!

But Zhang Yuan, a mere Tier Three, actually managed to catch the flying spike barehanded.

Master Shen raised his estimation of Zhang Yuan’s strength by another level.

The Tier Four martial artist and Zhang Yuan locked eyes, his gaze growing deeper.

He spread his arms and suddenly swept back, his whole figure like a giant predator snake, swiftly darting out ten-odd steps.

Rapidly closing in on Zhang Yuan!

The next moment, Master Shen, using the momentum of his advance, struck towards Zhang Yuan with both palms.

An intense stream of true qi power surged towards Zhang Yuan, stirring countless undercurrents around.

This palm strike from Master Shen bore a resemblance to the method Zhang Yuan used earlier to kill the warrior.

Yet he relied on his own abundant true qi.

The power was only stronger, not weaker!

Zhang Yuan felt a chill all over, instinctively sensing danger.

He instinctively dove deeper, narrowly avoiding Master Shen’s second wave of attacks at the critical moment.

But passively taking hits was never Zhang Yuan’s fighting style.

No matter how formidable the enemy, he felt no fear and immediately retaliated viciously!
