Chapter 386: Chapter 191: Arriving at the Song Realm Border Pass
"Senior, who do you think will win?"
Zhou Moyun considered the question carefully. The two combatants’ Martial Arts were peculiar, and each excelled in different areas. For a moment, she couldn’t tell who had the upper hand.
"Does it matter who wins or loses?"
Zhao Rui smiled faintly. "Just watch and learn."
Everyone nodded and began to watch with even greater focus.
After they had fought for several minutes, the two figures drifted farther and farther apart. Zhao Rui simply conjured two Great Sumeru Buddha Hands, scooped everyone up, and followed stealthily.
"Senior, out of the four of us, who do you think feels best to hold?"
The four women were held together like a bundle of chopsticks, squeezed tightly against one another.
Su Wanyun deliberately turned her body, pressing her voluptuous figure outward and letting Zhao Rui’s large hand envelop her.
"How shameless!"
Zhou Moyun and the other two women immediately chided her. "Senior isn’t that kind of person," they scoffed.
"..."
’Maybe I’ve defined my role as a "senior" a bit too rigidly,’ Zhao Rui thought.
"Do not speak carelessly."
Zhao Rui snorted coldly, making his stance clear.
Upon hearing this, the three women shot Su Wanyun a smug look. "How dare you spout such nonsense in front of Senior. A hussy’s nature never changes."
"That’s right."
"We’re ashamed to be in your company. Once we return to our sect, we won’t let you off easy."
"Tsk, tsk... really..."
Su Wanyun sneered, her body rubbing gently against Zhao Rui’s fingers. She turned her head, too lazy to bother with the three naive fools.
Seeing this, Zhao Rui couldn’t help but form a Soul Needle and jab her with it. "Focus on the battle," he ordered. "Cause any more trouble, and I won’t be lenient."
"I know, Senior," Su Wanyun replied with a coquettish pout, turning her head to watch the distant battle.
By now, the fight between the two had reached a fever pitch.
Each had manifested their True Dharma Body—the massive Divine Souls of Exotic Beasts, tens of meters tall, which were now tearing at one another.
Their battle shook the earth, toppled trees, and shattered boulders.
"Stay here and don’t move."
Zhao Rui gauged that the moment was right. He placed the six of them in a treetop, then leaped down, flying directly toward the two combatants.
"Senior is going to..."
"Is he going to take them both on?"
"Watch out for Su Wanyun!"
Luo Yunxi started. She glanced at the others, and with a flicker of movement, she ducked behind Tao Yuansheng.
Seeing her move, Zhou Moshu and the other woman also hastily retreated to stand with He Wenhua.
This left Su Wanyun standing alone opposite them.
"What? Did you think I was going to ambush you?"
’I really used to think too highly of my three martial sisters,’ Su Wanyun thought.
She leisurely sat cross-legged in the treetop, Concentrating and Calming the Mind as she watched the battle below.
By now, Zhao Rui had appeared beside the two combatants. A pair of massive Great Sumeru Buddha Hands seized the two Exotic Beast Dharma Aspects.
He slammed them to the ground and began grinding them into the dirt.
The sheer violence of the act made everyone in the treetop cringe.
"Who are you?"
The battered Great Shang Martial Artist rolled tens of meters away and demanded sharply.
"I saw a good fight and just had to join in!"
Zhao Rui chuckled slyly. With a flicker of movement, he swept the man back into the fray.
The Great Shang Martial Artist and the Demon Sect master had been locked in a mortal struggle. Zhao Rui’s sudden intrusion forced them to pause their fight and focus all their energy on countering his Techniques.
"Discovered replicable Martial Arts: Rakshasa Three Body Technique. Copy?"
"Discovered Lingxi Doraji Finger. Copy..."
These two were martial arts masters, each possessing multiple Top-level Techniques. Faced with a powerful enemy like Zhao Rui, they were now forced to use them all.
Zhao Rui listened to the system prompts in his mind, overjoyed.
’It’s been a long time since I’ve come across such a generous reward.’
’A full eight Peak Martial Arts!’
He instantly unleashed the Charming Maiden Formless Celestial Demon Great Method. Six figures split into two groups, launching a fierce assault on the two men.
The speed was incredible, more than twice as fast as Su Wanyun’s Ghostly Body Technique.
Su Wanyun stared unblinkingly at the battle as Zhao Rui’s calm, casual guidance echoed in her mind.
"Step on the Qian Position and Guide the Star Pivot... Ninefold Gang Wind Refining Jade Bone... Step on the Dipper’s Dubhe Position... Nine Heavens Pure Qi Body Tempering..."
The other six people couldn’t see clearly. They could only make out the blurry shapes of the three fighters moving back and forth below, trying to track the faint sounds of their footsteps.
Any trace of their original arrogance had now completely vanished.
They couldn’t even see the fighters’ silhouettes. In a real fight against someone like that, what would they be if not lambs to the slaughter?
Five of them had originally wondered if they might have a chance to escape while the three were fighting. But now, after witnessing such a Skillful Method, that fleeting hope was instantly reduced to ash, never to return.
Even if Zhao Rui were defeated, it would be child’s play for the victors to capture and kill them.
Their best bet was to behave and hope that Zhao Rui would be victorious.
Besides, seeing how easily he handled two opponents at once, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
"Who exactly are you? I serve under the Wind God of the Great Shang. Do you truly wish to make an enemy of the Great Shang?"
"The Wind God?"
"Senior, I am one of the Five Dragon Envoys of the Holy Lotus Sect. I can see the Martial Arts you are using are also from our Holy Sect. Might there be some misunderstanding?"
Seeing the other two conversing, the man from the Demon Sect hurriedly spoke up.
Of course he recognized the Charming Maiden Formless Celestial Demon Great Method that Zhao Rui was using.
This Cultivation Technique was the exclusive signature art of the sect’s Phantom Envoy.
"Oh? A Five Dragon Envoy?"
"That is correct. Although I do not know which generation of Phantom Envoy you are, Senior, I implore you to hold back, for the sake of our shared allegiance to the Holy Sect."
The Five Dragon Envoy spoke as he dodged, not daring to hope that Zhao Rui would honor their shared sect loyalties. He would be grateful if the man simply held back.
Hearing their exchange, the Great Shang Martial Artist broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that if these two teamed up, he wouldn’t have the slightest chance of escape.
