They wore Yuan army helmets, were all tall and imposing, and carried spears or swords, riding warhorses with the thunderous sound of iron hooves.
.......
Chapter 63: Absorbing Lu Zhangke's internal energy, advancing to the mid-stage of Grandmaster!
"Mom, are you okay?"
Inside the carriage, Zhang Wuji looked at Yin Susu with a puzzled expression.
He had noticed that his mother's condition had been off ever since she left the Sky Eagle Cult a day ago; she seemed preoccupied.
"I am fine."
A hint of panic flashed in Yin Susu's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and added with a smile, "Wuji, you're so smart, your master will definitely like you. You have to promise your mother that no matter what happens in Wudang, you'll face it bravely, okay?"
"Well, I see."
Zhang Wuji found his mother Yin Susu's words a bit strange, but he still nodded obediently.
at this time.
A rumble of iron hooves came from outside.
Yin Susu subconsciously pulled open the carriage curtain and saw a group of Yuan soldiers on horseback appearing in front of her. She quickly said to Zhang Wuji, "Wuji, hide well in the carriage. If a battle breaks out later, don't come out. We might be in trouble."
Zhang Wuji's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go out with you too. I'm a Grandmaster at the peak of my cultivation now, and I have the ability to protect myself."
"No, you have no combat experience and can't handle those people at all. Listen to your mother, stay here and don't make a sound."
After saying this, Yin Susu ignored Zhang Wuji's response and went out with her sword.
soon.
The group of Yuan soldiers passed by the carriage.
Song Yuanqiao, Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu, Zhang Cuishan, and Yin Susu held their breath, gripping their longswords tightly.
Strangely, the Yuan soldiers did not attack them, acting as if they were just passing by, which was rather odd.
"Sigh, why doesn't Mother believe in my abilities? I am a Grandmaster at the peak of my cultivation. I not only control the power of the natural-type Ice-Ice Fruit, but I have also mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Art."
The young Zhang Wuji in the carriage looked helpless, then hugged the wooden box containing the Dragon-Slaying Saber to his chest. (9)
In a short while.
An unexpected event occurred. 4.
A martial arts master wearing a Yuan army helmet reached out from behind the carriage, attempting to forcibly abduct Zhang Wuji. (8)
Zhang Wuji glared and kicked the man's arm, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The other party was clearly surprised, transforming into a blur as they stepped onto the carriage, their gaze coldly fixed on Zhang Wuji.
This man had a patterned tattoo on his face, exuding the strength of a mid-stage Grandmaster. He was Lu Zhangke, one of the Xuanming Elders, and was ordered to capture Zhang Cuishan's son, Zhang Wuji, alive. ⑨
I thought I could easily handle it, but I never expected to fail so badly, forcing me to break into the carriage to do it myself.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Wuji's expression changed slightly. With his Grandmaster Perfection cultivation, he actually felt a sense of pressure. The other party's cultivation level was even more terrifying than his maternal grandfather, Yin Tianzheng.
"The people who arrested you."
Lu Zhangke sneered and, as he spoke, reached out to grab Zhang Wuji. He had already decided to reveal his identity and attack Zhang Wuji without any scruples, even if it caused a commotion and alerted the people outside.
After all, the two elders of Xuanming have both appeared this time, and they have brought a full hundred elite Yuan soldiers with them. They are fully capable of escaping unscathed after capturing Zhang Wuji alive.
whoosh-
Just for a moment.
Lu Zhangke's right hand grabbed Zhang Wuji's shoulder.
Zhang Wuji's expression changed drastically as a stinging pain spread throughout his body, making his shoulder bones feel as if they were about to shatter.
However, at this moment, he did not choose to call for help immediately. Instead, he activated the Ice-Ice Fruit ability, turning his shoulder into an element and freezing Shikagami's right arm.
How is this going?
Why are my arms completely frozen?
Lu Zhangke was horrified. He tried to pull his arm back, but found that he couldn't do it unless he cut it off.
But this is just the beginning.
Next.
Lu Zhangke discovered that his internal energy was being lost.
No! To be precise, it was absorbed by the other party. His internal energy, which he had cultivated for many years, surged like a river bursting its banks, and all his power flowed from his arm into the young Zhang Wuji.
A strong sense of crisis swept over us.
Lu Zhangke had no time to think and hastily chopped at Zhang Wuji's head with his left hand, but Zhang Wuji blocked it.
Bah!
The Ice-Ice Fruit's incredible power was unleashed once again. Zhang Wuji went all out, channeling his Northern Darkness True Qi and the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit to freeze Lu Zhangke's left hand as well.
At this moment, Lu Zhangke had lost the ability to move. He was kneeling in the carriage, his face covered with frost. His internal energy, which he had cultivated for many years, had been forcibly absorbed.
In contrast, Zhang Wuji's face alternated between pale and flushed, appearing to be experiencing both pain and pleasure.
However, his cultivation level surged to the top of the bottle at an extremely fast speed, breaking through from the Grandmaster Perfection realm to the Great Grandmaster realm in just a few breaths.
Grandmaster (early stage) breakthrough!
Mid-stage Grandmaster, breakthrough!
bang bang bang-
In this way, Lu Zhangke's internal energy was completely drained, with at least 90% being converted into the Northern Darkness True Qi of the young Zhang Wuji.
"It's a pity that I was just a little short of advancing to the late stage of Grandmaster."
Zhang Wuji muttered to himself, knowing that his ability to deal with a Grandmaster-level expert had a large element of luck involved, which was related to the opponent's carelessness.
Otherwise, even if he had the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit, he wouldn't have been able to freeze his opponent so easily.
All of this was the result of the Northern Darkness Divine Art combined with the power of the Ice-Freeze Fruit, plus a bit of luck.
Sensing the powerful Northern Darkness True Qi within his body, Zhang Wuji stood up and kicked the gaunt, white-haired Lu Zhangke away.
Bang! ! !
One side of the carriage split open, and Lu Zhangke crashed to the ground in a sorry state, letting out a pitiful cry.
Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of Song Yuanqiao and others at the front.
"Wuji!"
"Wuji!"
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were pale-faced. They turned around and rushed over as soon as they saw the carriage was damaged.
The two were filled with hatred; they had been so focused on the movements of the Yuan soldiers that they had forgotten about the carriage behind them.
Only when they saw a figure fly out of the carriage did they realize the seriousness of the situation.
But the next moment.
Everyone saw Zhang Wuji emerge from the carriage unharmed, radiating an incredibly profound aura of cultivation.
"Wuji...you..."
Zhang Cuishan's eyes widened. Although he was only at the late stage of the Grandmaster level, he could still see that Wuji's cultivation level had reached the Grandmaster level, which was incredible!
What exactly happened to Wuji?
Why did you become so much stronger in just a short time?
In the field.
Whether it was Zhang Cuishan and his wife or Song Yuanqiao and the others, they all stared at Zhang Wuji with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
not far away.
The Yuan soldiers had already gathered together. Among the two elders of Xuanming, Hebi Weng helped the seriously injured Lu Zhangke to his feet, completely bewildered by what had happened.
"Senior brother, how did you fail?"
Hebi Weng frowned. The moment he helped Lu Zhangke up, he felt that the latter's meridians were broken and his internal strength was completely lost, just like a lamp that had run out of oil.
He was perfectly fine just a moment ago, a true martial arts master, and now this has happened. What did my senior brother experience inside the carriage?
"Cough cough cough, that kid... cough cough cough... something's not right..."
Lu Zhangke coughed up a few mouthfuls of stagnant blood, then his eyes widened and he fell silent.
One of the Xuanming Elders, whose fearsome reputation shook the martial arts world, died just like that.
"Do not!!!"
bang——
He Biweng roared, and a wave of energy from his mid-stage Grandmaster level swept out, sending several Yuan soldiers and their warhorses flying.
In fact, Hebi Weng and Luzhang Ke were brothers who learned their skills from childhood. From their youth to old age, they had never been separated for a single day. Neither of them had wives or children, and they could be said to depend on each other for survival. Their relationship was even closer than that of blood brothers.
