Chapter 693: Chapter 692: The Quasi-Emperor Appears
Chen Tu’s appearance left Tang Yaoyao momentarily stunned.
"Hall Master, who is this?"
That familiar attire of Chen Tu’s, Tang Yaoyao recognized it—wasn’t that from the Demon God Temple?
"People from the Demon God Temple!"
"Then, what is your relationship with them?"
Liu Zheng said with a smile, "I suppose you could say I’m their young master."
As for this identity, Liu Zheng did not plan to conceal it.
Eventually, it would all come to light anyway, and besides, when they were in Celestial Fairy City, the Dark Palace appeared alongside the Demon God Temple. With this news spreading, he estimated some could have already guessed his identity.
So even if his identity was revealed now, it was no longer a concern.
Hearing his words, Tang Yaoyao was instantly dumbstruck.
The young master of the Demon God Temple had actually been right by her side.
This was something she had never imagined.
No wonder the people from the Demon God Temple were willing to protect the Dark Palace.
It turned out it was all because of the Hall Master.
It wasn’t that someone invited people from the Demon God Temple over.
These people were probably here to protect the Hall Master.
But after the Hall Master left, they just happened to protect the Dark Palace as well.
In a moment, Tang Yaoyao had sorted out the relationships.
"If I had known earlier that the Hall Master was the young master of the Demon God Temple, I wouldn’t have needed to go looking for the Devil Temple Token. It would have been better to just give the Divine Weapon to the Hall Master directly," thought Tang Yaoyao.
Then she spoke up, "Hall Master, what has happened that requires the use of the Divine Weapon?"
"It’s not much of a matter. Xiang Batian went to kill Zhang Yuxing. It’s just that this old fellow made too many preparations, invited a number of powerful figures, and even brought out a Divine Weapon," Liu Zheng said indifferently.
Hearing this, Tang Yaoyao had a rough understanding of the situation.
...
At this moment, the Zhang Family estate was teeming with formidable figures, with silhouettes filling the sky.
And at this time, Zhang Yuxing was being brutally beaten, his aura growing increasingly feeble.
"The Quasi-Emperor and the Body of the Overlord still have quite a gap between them."
"No wonder they say that once the Body of the Overlord is fully cultivated, one becomes invincible under the Emperors. This combat power is much stronger than that of a Quasi-Emperor."
"This is not to say Zhang Yuxing is weak; rather, the Body of the Overlord is too powerful."
Flickering figures darted about as many old monsters arrived.
These individuals were incredibly fast, and the battle between the two parties was over in just half an hour.
Some of them were elders from sects, others were senior emperors from dynasties.
In any case, none of their statuses were low.
This was also the case with their realms.
There weren’t a few high-level Saint Realm cultivators, and there were even several Quasi-Emperors.
Upon arriving nearby, they saw Zhang Yuxing being pummeled relentlessly, his body exploding again and again, then healing.
This scene had occurred countless times already.
The continuous healing made Zhang Yuxing’s aura grow feebler with each instance.
Seeing this, these old creatures all sighed lightly; they didn’t think Zhang Yuxing was weak in strength but instead felt that he had performed quite admirably.
It was just that the Body of the Overlord was simply too strong, not something they could contend with.
This mature physique was not something many could resist.
Only the Emperors, or the Pseudo-Emperors, or another physique of equal maturity, could withstand it somewhat.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuxing exploded once again. This time, after being reborn, his breath was much weaker than before, clearly at the end of his tether.
"Damn it, why haven’t those guys shown up yet?"
Zhang Yuxing cursed inwardly. To deal with this Overlord’s body, he had paid quite a price.
One might even say they had given away half of the Zhang Family to others.
Their purpose was to kill Xiang Batian.
Even if not to kill him, at least to preserve their Zhang Family.
Who could have imagined that his resilience in withstanding the Body of the Overlord for so long had already cost him all his strength.
If help didn’t arrive soon, then the situation would truly become troublesome.
By now, Zhang Yuxing was barely holding on.
Clenching his teeth, he took out a divine medicine and swallowed it down directly.
The effect of the divine medicine was quite good; after swallowing it, Zhang Yuxing’s complexion looked much better.
"Ants will be ants, bring out whatever cards you have left!"
Xiang Batian was very disappointed; he had thought Zhang Yuxing’s loud cries would indicate great strength.
It turns out he was just like any other Quasi-Emperor, ultimately an ant, slightly stronger but still an ant.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang, who would’ve thought you’d have a day when you were also called an ant."
"An ant? Then let’s see how this ant is going to wipe you out."
A rough voice sounded, and then a sword Qi streaked across the sky, carrying a blue glow as it charged toward Xiang Batian.
Crack!
Xiang Batian’s face remained expressionless as he stretched out two fingers and pinched the sword Qi, shattering it.
Soon, two figures appeared in front of Zhang Yuxing.
Seeing these two people, everyone’s expression was one of surprise.
"Sword Madman and that old monster Lei Dong?"
"I didn’t expect these two to actually come."
"I heard that Sword Madman has a good relationship with the Zhang Family; it’s normal for him to come, but why would Lei Dong appear?"
Many powerful individuals were astonished.
It made sense for Sword Madman to come, after all, there were connections between them here.
But what was Lei Dong doing here?
After all, Lei Dong had no relationship with the Zhang Family.
"Brother Lei Dong, I’ve long admired you," Zhang Yuxing greeted them hurriedly upon seeing the two.
The arrival of these two was unexpected for him.
"Brother Lei Dong, why are you here?"
Lei Dong waved his hand and said with a smile, "My disciple has been wanting to help out, and I had to come reluctantly; it also serves as a good opportunity to challenge the Body of the Overlord."
"May I ask whom Brother Lei Dong’s disciple is?"
"Sword Madman!" Lei Dong stated plainly.
Now everyone understood the situation.
It was probably Sword Madman who had asked Lei Dong for help.
"Many thanks to Brother Lei Dong for the assistance, and thank you, young friend Sword Madman, for remembering our Zhang Family," Zhang Yuxing said to the two gratefully.
Their appearance was truly a great help.
Especially Lei Dong, whose combat power was even stronger than his own.
With Lei Dong’s help, he wouldn’t have to be so miserable.
"Is this purple fate?"
On seeing Sword Madman, Xiang Batian immediately remembered Liu Zheng’s instruction—his target was the one with the purple fate.
"After dealing with these people, I’ll take this guy away."
Even with the addition of another Quasi-Emperor, Xiang Batian was not concerned at all; he was still at ease in the fight.
Just at that moment, a terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, as if an incomparable emperor had awakened, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.
It even affected high-level Quasi-Emperors from the Saint Realm.
"This is the awakening of the Emperor’s Divine Weapon."
"Zhang Yuxing really went all out, to even call upon the Emperor’s Divine Weapon."
"Who exactly is this power, to be in possession of the Emperor’s Divine Weapon?"
The expressions on the faces of the powerful changed continuously; this battle was beyond their expectations.
Lei Dong had appeared, and the Emperor’s Divine Weapon had as well.
This battle was no longer just between Xiang Batian and Zhang Yuxing, but rather a group of powerful fighters besieging Xiang Batian.
