Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 258: The 211th Very Fruitful Wang Sheng

Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao did not attack immediately.

Competing for the Treasure Bead doesn’t necessarily mean the first to act would obtain it; they still had other troubles to deal with.

The other five Great Grandmasters were planning to besiege them.

"Attack!"

The Great Grandmaster of Heavenly Blade Valley, Jiang Dao, made a move without hesitation. Countless forces of Qi Blood Power burst forth, his blade shining as if it could split heaven and earth in two, full of intimidating power.

He didn’t hesitate and attacked Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao without any reservations.

However—

Amidst the flames, a glint of sword light flashed, and Jiang Dao’s blade couldn’t advance an inch.

He looked at the seemingly ordinary flying sword and instantly realized that Wang Sheng was, as they suspected, of Great Grandmaster level.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence before he noticed something was amiss.

Shouldn’t they all be attacking together?

Wang Sheng looked at Jiang Dao and sighed.

"People as naïve as you are rare, and yet you actually made a move!"

The other four had no intention of attacking at all. They were all thinking of letting others block Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao, creating opportunities for themselves.

In the end, only Jiang Dao made a move.

"I’ll borrow your blade!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Sheng used his Instant Teleportation to appear in front of Jiang Dao.

Jiang Dao, realizing he had been tricked, was full of anger but knew that his first priority was to repel this man.

But before he could react, Wang Sheng’s flying sword moved again, slashing toward his palm while Wang Sheng’s Blood Qi burst forth, assaulting him.

Danger!

Jiang Dao had attained his strength for his keen sense of crisis.

He couldn’t afford to withstand this attack head-on; the target was the blade in his hand.

Though it was humiliating to drop the weapon, it was trivial compared to his life.

He immediately let go of the blade in his hand.

Wang Sheng took the opportunity to take it.

"Thanks!"

Jiang Dao only felt that this thank you was full of mockery, but as he attempted to attack Wang Sheng, Zhu Xiao’s attack arrived.

The power of Qi Force erupted, pushing back Jiang Dao’s Qi Blood Power.

Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao worked together, and a single person couldn’t target them.

"Why did you snatch the blade?"

"Because I needed to fulfill my ’promise’!"

He hadn’t initially intended to take Jiang Dao’s treasured blade, but since Jiang Dao attacked, he did not hold back.

He could tell that the material of Jiang Dao’s blade was extremely unusual.

In the future, it would be great for the new flying sword in the body of the Blood Locust King or for the current flying sword.

After pushing Jiang Dao back, Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao did not pause; they attacked directly towards the direction of the Treasure Bead.

The Treasure Bead didn’t erupt with anything else and was already seized by a Great Grandmaster.

But—

The Great Grandmaster clearly overestimated himself. The Great Grandmaster of Spirit Sword Valley, Wu Qingfeng, directly made a move. Sword light flashed, and the sword shadows covered the sky. The Great Grandmaster attempted to resist but by the time he regained his composure, one of his arms was severed!

That was the arm holding the Treasure Bead.

Wang Sheng also noticed the Sword Master’s technique; those sword shadows seemed real, formed by powerful Qi Blood Power.

"Interesting!"

This seemed to aid his Sword Transformation Technique.

However, Wang Sheng didn’t have time to pay much attention now, but instead, he looked towards another person competing for the arm.

King Yong Nian!

King Yong Nian released all his Qi Blood Power. He, too, was a wielder of the blade, but his blade technique was merely a carrier for his martial skills.

Countless Qi Blood Power seemed to transform into thousands of troops, enveloping him within, each slash stirring up a powerful murderous and fierce aura, daunting those around.

This was a blade of the military!

Extremely terrifying!

Other Great Grandmasters tried to approach him but found it difficult; using this advantage, it seemed he would soon get the severed arm, even faster than the attacking Wu Qingfeng.

Swoosh!

At that moment, another blade light flashed past, bringing with it an overwhelming force, chopping down on King Yong Nian’s Qi Blood Power formed "army."

This layer of defense was torn like a rag, exposing a significant flaw.

Wu Wutong’s heart was shocked; his protections had been tested in countless battles.

Yet now, it was effortlessly torn open.

"Who are you?"

Wu Wutong had no desire to compete for the Treasure Bead; the figure entirely enshrouded in golden light was now his significant opponent.

"I want to resolve a matter of injustice. The Martial Artist plague in Yellow Dragon River of Shuzhou, was it your doing?"

Wu Wutong certainly remembered the Martial Artist plague matter. With the plague breaking out on King Jiang He’s side, it directly helped him to establish a winning scenario.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

He hadn’t cared much then, but this time, it turned out that the matter attracted such a strong figure.

If it had been a typical situation, it might not have mattered as he might not have feared this person, but now that they were competing for the Treasure Bead, it was not a good time.

Thus, while he resisted Wang Sheng’s attack, he spoke, "That year’s Martial Artist plague was not my doing; it was King Jiang He!"

But he was too late!

Wang Sheng might not know blade techniques, but his Qi Blood Power was immensely strong, easily breaking through Wu Wutong’s defense.

Caught off guard, Wu Wutong was struck directly!

Tear—

His arm was hacked off, just like the previous ordinary Great Grandmaster.

At this point, Wang Sheng stopped.

A deal is a deal, one slash means one slash.

"This thing really isn’t so handy after all!"

Indeed, using a blade was not his forte. He could only chop and slash, then by harnessing the formidable Qi Blood Power, he had breached King Yong Nian’s defenses.

But King Yong Nian had also withdrawn from the contention.

Wang Sheng didn’t even glance at him, but directly joined the struggle for the Treasure Bead.

Now, Zhu Xiao had the Treasure Bead in hand.

King Yong Nian, although unsure why that mighty one had stopped after a single slash, knew he couldn’t stay here any longer.

Just as he was about to retreat, two individuals exchanged looks and chased after him.

These two Martial Artists were none other than Jiang Dao and Wu Qingfeng.

Yuelai Inn not showing interest in the battle indicated that Shuzhou having three factions was still too many.

Having witnessed the immense strength of the golden light Martial Artist, they did not believe anyone else could wrest the Treasure Bead from Zhu Xiao’s hands.

The Treasure Bead ending up in Zhu Xiao’s hands was perhaps the best outcome.

And it truly was.

Once Zhu Xiao got the Treasure Bead, Zheng Xueyue and Sun Qing stopped.

They hadn’t anticipated that Zhu Xiao’s guest would be so powerful, severing Zhou Wutong’s arm in a few slashes, and seemingly still having strength to spare.

While they also believed that King Yong Nian had underestimated his opponent and wouldn’t have been defeated so miserably had he fought with his full power.

But now that this person had joined forces with Zhu Xiao and secured the Treasure Bead, their chances of capturing the bead were slim; the greater likelihood was losing their troops along with their dame.

Giving up seemed like the best choice.

This twist in events was mainly due to that all-encompassing golden light strong man.

Extremely powerful; one-on-one, probably no one could match him. At best, they could only save their own lives.

Where had Zhu Xiao found such an extraordinary powerful figure?

Zheng Xueyue would leave Zhu Xiao’s side and without looking back, depart.

Sun Qing also gave a glance and turned to leave.

This twist had disrupted the balance; what was supposed to be an intense battle ended abruptly.

Compared to the Treasure Bead, they valued their own lives more.

Wang Sheng, watching people hastily leave, was also somewhat surprised.

"They’re leaving just like that, without even trying?"

Zhu Xiao came to his side, explaining, "Because compared to the Treasure Bead, whose power is unknown and usability uncertain, the attraction of the Master of Destiny seems greater.

They all believe that once someone becomes the Master of Destiny, they can suppress and solve all problems, and naturally recover the Treasure Bead."

"What they’re planning, aren’t they afraid that even becoming the Master of Destiny won’t suppress me?"

"No fear, they never considered that possibility." Zhu Xiao shook her head, "That’s what their family histories tell them, passed down generation to generation, that once someone becomes the Master of Destiny, there’s nothing within the Great Zhou that cannot be resolved."

When Zhu Xiao mentioned the Master of Destiny, her tone wasn’t very respectful, and that had always been her opinion.

Especially after learning from Wang Sheng that the Master of Destiny might have issues.

And Wang Sheng understood even more about the Master of Destiny.

What exactly makes these families so blindly faithful to the idea of the Master of Destiny?

Wang Sheng felt there was likely some hidden secret.

"It seems I need to talk to Zhu Xiao about this matter."

He thought to himself, then looked towards a slowly departing figure in a black robe.

The figure in the black robe was about to leave, but a flying sword blocked his path directly, its dreadful power forcing the black-robed figure to stop.

"What do you mean by this?"

Wang Sheng didn’t respond, opted for Instant Teleportation, and appeared right in front of the black-robed figure, striking without hesitation.

Shocking Dragon!

Five Mountains Sky-reaching Cone!

Both the Blood Qi Divine Ability and the martial punches were launched, unleashing an extremely ferocious momentum. The fire and magma at the scene were stifled by the terrifying pressure, as if even the flow of air had slowed.

"Your voice is still as unpleasant as ever, Blood Locust King!"

Roar!

His punches, along with the Shocking Dragon Divine Ability, overwhelmed the world like a pressing lid, with countless energies exploding towards the Blood Locust King.

The Blood Locust King, having heard his identity called out, knew instantly that he was exposed. Continuing to hide was pointless; he wanted to resist.

But Wang Sheng, merely reaching the stage of Blood Qi like Dragon, could kill him; what more now?

Before the Blood Locust King could make any move, Wang Sheng’s fist had already pierced through his chest.

"Found it!"

Wang Sheng touched something of special material inside the Blood Locust King.

Indeed, this Blood Locust King clone also possessed the Black Wood.

This was also one of his targets this time.

Relying solely on brute strength, he extracted the item from the Blood Locust King’s body, and his Qi-Blood erupted again.

Boom!

The Blood Locust King, deprived of the Black Wood, instantly lost his spirit and was hurled away by Wang Sheng’s Qi Blood Power, leaving behind a massive and distant ravine before vanishing into dust.

A being of the Blood Locust King’s caliber was now easily dealt with by Wang Sheng.

The Blood Locust King was dead, the clearing complete.

That unknown identity top Grandmaster had long since left.

The destiny of the Treasure Bead had come to an end.

Of course, the turmoil caused by the emergence of the Treasure Bead was far from over.

Wang Sheng, as this "variable," had stepped to the forefront.

Of course, now, he was discussing the ownership of the Treasure Bead with Zhu Xiao…
