Cultivators Are So Weak in This World

Chapter 593: 556 Outpouring 2

Zhang Rongfang’s figure in a blood-red robe, with the bizarre shape of three arms, was extremely conspicuous among the crowd.

In an instant, Auduna also determined who was responsible for breaking the array’s core.

"A bunch of waste!!" She was furious in her heart. Her eyes, woven from red spiritual lines, stared intently at Zhang Rongfang.

As if wanting to imprint him firmly in her mind.

"A line between heaven and earth."

Suddenly, a long, drifting chant spread from below.

Swish!!

Hunter Tiger leaped into the air, charging towards her from below.

Countless phantom tigers appeared behind him, as if a sea of tigers.

Hundreds and thousands of giant tiger phantoms emerged, all of their eyes glowing red simultaneously, gazing at Auduna.

Swoosh!!

A flash of black light.

Hunter Tiger breezed past Auduna.

In that instant, Auduna’s entire body became paralyzed, unable to defend, leading to a massive gash the width of a forearm being torn open at her side.

From the gash, a mass of silver spiritual lines surged out, like countless tendrils, sweeping towards Hunter Tiger, but as if he foresaw it, he landed beforehand to evade.

Soon, the spiritual lines retracted, trying to heal Auduna’s side wound. But since it was caused by a magic weapon, the healing speed was appallingly slow.

"Today... consider it your win in this round!" She knew the situation was lost, and biting her teeth, she gave Hunter Tiger a hard look, turned around, and left without hesitation.

Woo....

From the Fengling Army came the solemn sound of the retreating horn at the same time.

All the Fengling Army retreated in an orderly fashion as if they had rehearsed countless times, lifting the corpses of their comrades with a speed significantly faster than that of ordinary soldiers, retreating like a tide.

And only then did the Righteous Alliance troops, which had been pressed to the brink of collapse, have the opportunity to breathe more easily.

"It’s over." Hunter Tiger did not pursue but instead looked towards Zhang Rongfang.

By now, the exaggerated seven-meter humanoid form was gone. But he knew that the core of the sudden change just now was the Human Immortal Temple.

"Lord Celestial Roc."

A reverse-time adept silently appeared behind him to report in a deep voice.

"Though the master of the Human Immortal Temple crushed the core, he let the Righteous Scholar Sword heir, the core entity, escape, and severely wounded General Ximen Yu. How should we respond to this?"

"Ximen Yu... he’s a hardworking child." Hunter Tiger gently removed his injured glove.

"But he’s too blinded by the desire for revenge."

The other instantly understood. He nodded quietly and withdrew.

Hunter Tiger no longer said anything more, only sighed, showing a mournful expression.

Before, such questions wouldn’t have been asked by the brothers in the society.

The loss of Ximen Yu to the Reverse-Time Society wasn’t significant, but the loss of the Human Immortal Temple could dramatically impact the future.

So, why even ask?? Just calm down Ximen Yu’s emotions for the greater good.

Yet now, such childish questions are still asked.

The horn sound grew more distant, indicating the Fengling Army retreated farther away.

The Righteous Alliance’s goal was achieved.

They delayed part of the Fengling Army’s main force, commanded by the God-General Auduna, at this spot for a long time.

Not only did they manage to accomplish this, but they went above and beyond.

Auduna was injured, and the Fengling Army suffered significant losses. Numbers are trivial, but mainly Auduna’s army formation array plate was destroyed.

Such an array plate, once broken, is irreplaceable, and making it requires substantial complexity and difficulty.

In a short time, Auduna only had one spare array plate left to use. If it’s destroyed again in the next encounter, the Fengling Army’s overall strength would drop by more than thirty percent.

"I hope there is good news from the Great Capital...."

Hunter Tiger looked up at the blue sky, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Lord Celestial Roc." Zhang Rongfang’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.

His body technique was already extraordinary, and now, after acquiring new traits of extreme speed movement, it became even more terrifying.

Even in normal movement, he reached the level of a Grandmaster’s extreme realm body technique at full exertion.

At full speed, during the earlier assault, he even burst out at an astonishing speed of three hundred meters per second.

Even Hunter Tiger’s heart skipped a beat; he lowered his head and turned to look.

Behind him, Zhang Rongfang, back to normal form in a blood-red robe, stood silently amongst several Human Immortal Temple Daoists in blood-red robes, watching in the broken, shattered woodland.

"Young friend... Next, you can rest a bit. We’ve achieved our goal at Mingwu Mountain. For the second battle, reinforcements are needed at Kun City." Hunter Tiger replied.

"Kun City? It’s at least a thousand miles away from here, isn’t it?" Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.

"There’s no choice; these are all the top experts we have. Spirit Generals won’t die; no matter how many times you kill them, they’ll regenerate unless you completely destroy their entire sect." Hunter Tiger sighed. "Now, it’s the entire Western Sect being targeted; if the master is interested, you can come along."

"Is the next stop Kun City? And then? The Western Sect’s headquarters, the True Buddha Temple, is in the Great Capital, right?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"True Buddha Temple... It should almost be over now...." Hunter Tiger seemed a bit lost.

"The Great Teaching Alliance... truly did nothing?" Zhang Rongfang paused and asked.

"Gave silent consent." Hunter Tiger responded.

Yue Dewen, now the Alliance Leader of the Great Teaching Alliance, probably had long been unsatisfied with the Western Sect’s actions.

So they deliberately allowed it, using the Reverse-Time Society and other forces to jointly eliminate the Western Sect.

To be precise.

This time, the collaboration between the Western Sect, Spirit People nobility, royal Spirit General, the academy, and Confucianism has drawn the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the Great Alliance.

"Next, the Western Sect is overwhelmed with their own affairs, young friend, feel free to do whatever you wish." Tiger Hunter seemed to have discerned Zhang Rongfang’s thoughts.

"Thank you, senior." Zhang Rongfang clasped his fists.

Next, the matter of Sea Dragon is secondary; the key lies with my sister....

Wushan Prefecture, Old Mu Chi Mansion.

The Mu Chi Mansion, completely vacated, bathed in slanting sunlight, falls onto the lush flowers and grass in the backyard, making them appear even more delicate and vibrant.

With a click, the courtyard door was gently pushed open.

Zhang Rongyu sighed softly, gracefully walked in, and approached the flowers and grass she had personally planted.

She reached out, gently stroking a soft pink petal, feeling the dew droplet condensed on it.

The events within the array on the battlefield yesterday still vividly present in her mind.

Her brother, Zhang Rongfang... and the massive, intimidating martial artist figure, the two images combined.

At this moment, it forms a brand new, indescribable peculiar impression for her.

The brother, whom she thought needed her protection, an ordinary martial artist genius, unexpectedly delivered a harsh slap to her in the array, on the battlefield.

In the most critical moment, she thought everything was over, she had lost the gamble. Yet unexpectedly..... her brother saved her once in the end.

"You really came back." Suddenly, Zhang Rongfang’s voice floated from the corner.

Zhang Rongyu followed the sound and indeed saw Zhang Rongfang in a corner of the backyard, whom had arrived at some unknown time.

Though the place is clearly deserted, with everyone having moved away, the courtyard left unattended, essentially abandoned.

Yet, both had tacitly returned here to meet without prior arrangement.

"Previously, we agreed to return here after a long time.... yet unexpectedly, we meet again so soon..." Zhang Rongyu spoke softly.

Her gaze complicatedly fixed on her brother, her mind still frequently recalling the previous seven-meter tall blood-red horrific silhouette.

No matter what, at this very moment, she couldn’t align that figure with her peaceful, serene brother Zhang Rongfang before her.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" She slowly approached him, slightly tilting her head enquiringly.

"Before, I didn’t want to, later, it was unintended." Zhang Rongfang replied. His feelings towards his sister Zhang Rongyu were equally complex.

"When did you become like that?" Zhang Rongyu softly asked. She was now very curious, very curious about how her brother achieved such heights so swiftly.

Because back in tough times, they even slept together at street corners and outdoors, she was acutely aware of when her brother Zhang Rongfang truly started martial arts training.

She calculated in her mind, within just a few short years, he reached such an exaggerated stage.

Though he hadn’t fought against the Confucian Grandmaster directly, from Li Zhen, the person blocked by her brother was at least a Grandmaster.

Because that person had already exhibited the final form.

And only a Grandmaster could obstruct a Grandmaster.

So.....

"Didn’t I say it earlier? I’m a genius." Zhang Rongfang chuckled. "Now then? Knowing my strength, sister, what do you think?"

He stepped forward a few steps, leaving only half a meter distance between him and Zhang Rongyu.

"Leave Confucianism. Let Xiaohuanqing join my Human Immortal Temple. I’ll personally teach him."

"Human Immortal Temple...." Zhang Rongyu seemed a bit lost. "You should.... leave the Human Immortal Temple, join Confucianism.... this time we merely lost temporarily, estimated incorrectly. But.... there are seven Gentleman’s Swords! Moreover..... in the future...."

She didn’t continue further.

"Rongfang, come to my side.... with your assistance, the two of us siblings united, marching forward hand in hand, surely we’ll accomplish great things!"

"With your strength and my networking background combined, we’ll swiftly establish a vast network! Maybe even leverage higher-level expert power!"

Her beautiful eyes gradually started to shine, the more she thought, the more she felt the future looked promising.

"When Huanqing grows up and takes charge of the Yi Vein, with you alongside, the Zhang family will surely rise and glorify our ancestors!! When that time comes, marry someone, have children, lots of them! The Zhang family will rapidly expand from this generation onwards!"

"Sister, if you come over, then in the future....." Zhang Rongfang also tried to persuade her, but as he spoke, he suddenly found that what he wanted to say lacked much convincing power.

The Human Immortal Temple and the Reversal Society are deemed evil factions and rebels by the Great Spirit officer authorities and aren’t acknowledged by them.

Even his master Yue Dewen dares not openly acknowledge the Human Immortal Temple, defying the will of the gods and buddhas behind it.

And he, having killed several Spirit General Descendants, has already severely offended the gods and buddhas.

"Rongfang... do you know how our Zhang family fell into decline in the first place? How did our parents mysteriously die?"

Suddenly Zhang Rongyu began to reveal a segment.

Parents??

Zhang Rongfang was momentarily stunned.

Whether his original self or within his mind, the impression of his parents was exceedingly faint.

The root cause ultimately being, his original self’s parents vanished and died prematurely.

At that time, his original self might only have been a few years old.

Then, his sister Zhang Rongyu tirelessly persevered, going through hardship and enduring fatigue, bringing up her brother.

At this moment, Zhang Rongyu suddenly mentioned the death of their parents.

Could it be.... this matter also related to why she became involved with Confucianism?
