Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Kill Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Kill âTeacher?â
Seeing Zhang Junlan bow and salute to Feng Wuchen, the expressions on the faces of the Star Plucking Old Ghost and the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect changed dramatically, their eyes filled with increasing terror, which was apparent to anyone who looked at them.
The Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect, overwhelmed by fear, fell to his knees, already guessing what his fate would be.
âFeng Wuchen is actually Zhang Junlanâs teacher?â
âHow is this possible⊠Feng Wuchen actually has such a terrifying background!â
âZhang Junlanâs teacher? My god, Zhang Junlan is the Mainlandâs number one Artifact Refiner genius! Isnât his teacher even more formidable?â
The many cultivators watching the battle were all scared out of their wits by Zhang Junlanâs address of âteacherâ.
âGreetings to Young Master Zhang!â Yi Yun and the other strong figures all bowed respectfully.
Zhang Junlan glanced at Yi Yun and the others, then his gaze fell on the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Star Plucking Old Ghost, his face immediately darkening.
âYou have quite the nerve!â Zhang Junlan coldly shouted, as surging anger and killing intent swept furiously around.
Over the past few months, Zhang Junlanâs cultivation had already broken through to the Eightfold Tianyuan Realm, advancing at a startling speed.
âForgive us, Young Master Zhang!â The Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect and other high-ranking members of the sect begged for mercy, panic-stricken, kneeling and kowtowing repeatedly.
At this moment, the strongest Sect Hierarch of the realm, just like a grandson, didnât dare to act recklessly.
Filled with immense fear, the Star Plucking Old Ghost also finally couldnât bear the terror in his heart and knelt down, his aged eyes filled with despair.
The power of the Zhang family was immense, their status unparalleled, looking across the entire Mainland, they could squeeze into the top ten, a mere stomp of their feet could shake the Mainland three times over.
Offending the Zhang family, one can well imagine what kind of fate would befall them.
Yet, Zhang Junlan paid them no heed, he was itching to immediately order the annihilation of the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect and others, but he wanted to let Feng Wuchen handle it himself.
âYanran, quickly pay respects to the teacher,â Zhang Junlan hurriedly said to the young woman in pink beside him.
âYanran pays respects to the teacher!â Yanran bowed respectfully, a slight smile appearing on her pretty face.
Yanran was in her early twenties, graceful in figure, wearing a pink dress, with black hair down to her waist, her face exquisitely beautiful, her demeanor elegant, truly a great beauty indeed.
Feng Wuchen glanced at Yanran, smiled slightly and said, âIâve heard from Little Zhang; very pretty, Little Zhang has good taste.â
âThank you for the compliment, teacher,â Yanran said as she bowed again.
Feng Wuchen slightly furrowed his brows and said, âAlthough your injuries have healed and your cultivation has recovered, part of your meridians is beyond repair.â
âTeacher is truly a divine being, you saw it with just one glance,â Zhang Junlan exclaimed, filled with utmost admiration in his heart.
âTeacher, Yanranâs meridian damage is severe, my father and the others are all at a loss, and even an Eighth-Rank Alchemist is powerless. Eighth-Grade Elixirs are too powerful for Yanran to withstand, yet without strong power, we canât repair her meridians. Also, the Great Elder said that Yanranâs damaged meridians would slowly spread throughout her body, eventually leading to complete meridian death. I know teacher has vast divine skills, so I earnestly beg teacher to save Yanran,â Zhang Junlan continued, his eyes filled with hope.
The concern and care Zhang Junlan had for Yanran through his words were palpable, the sense of urgency and care was not feigned but came from the heart.
âI earnestly beg teacher to save Yanran!â said Yanran, pleadingly, ready to kneel before Feng Wuchen.
Yanran had long since learned of Feng Wuchenâs strength from Zhang Junlan and, in her eyes, Feng Wuchen was like a descent of a deity.
The moment Yanran knelt down, a formidable force stopped her. She was slightly stunned, her beautiful eyes showing a trace of disappointment, thinking that even Feng Wuchen was unable to help.
âTo have damaged the meridians like this, itâs clear that your injuries were extremely severe at the time, and being able to save your life was already fortunate amidst the misfortune,â Feng Wuchen spoke softly.
âThe meridians are fragile, and the damaged ones cannot withstand strong forces. Even slightly stronger gentle forces are unbearable. Yanranâs situation is very special, calling it complete meridian death isnât too far off,â Feng Wuchen continued.
Zhang Junlanâs heart sank; even Feng Wuchen speaking in such terms indicated how special Yanranâs situation was.
Zhang Junlan, looking frantic and anxious, asked, âTeacher, is there a way to heal Yanran?â
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, âThere is a way, but itâs far from easy. However, thereâs no need to worry, as I can use an elixir to temporarily stabilize the meridians. But I donât have the necessary medicinal ingredients. Later, I will list them out, and your Zhang family will have to find them.â
âThatâs wonderful! Yanran, thereâs hope!â Zhang Junlan exclaimed with joy, sweeping away the gloom in his heart.
âThank you, teacher! Thank you so much!â Yanran was extremely delighted, her pretty face breaking into a sweet smile as she quickly gave thanks with a formal bow.
âThe teacher truly is a divine being!â Dong Zhantian admired, so impressed he could have prostrated himself.
So many terrifyingly powerful individuals, even Eighth-Rank Alchemists, were helpless in the face of this predicament, yet for Feng Wuchen, it seemed to pose no difficulty at all.
âTeacher, itâs your turn to handle things,â Zhang Junlan said.
Feng Wuchen understood what Zhang Junlan meant; the Zhang family had mobilized so many powerful figures just to assist Feng Wuchen.
Turning his gaze toward Star Plucking Old Ghost, Feng Wuchen said coldly, âStar Plucking Old Ghost, I gave you a chance before, but it seemed you didnât want it.â
âDan Emperor, spare my life!â Star Plucking Old Ghost kowtowed in terror, now filled with regret so deep it was as though his guts were turning green.
âKneeling now is too late!â countered Feng Wuchen with an icy voice.
âWhoosh!â
As soon as Feng Wuchenâs words fell, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Realm abruptly appeared in front of Star Plucking Old Ghost, his terrifying aura so oppressive that Star Plucking Old Ghost couldnât move, his eyes filled with despair.
âTo disrespect the Dan Emperor is to seek death!â The Heavenly Realm powerhouse declared coldly, without hesitation his palm struck the top of Star Plucking Old Ghostâs head, showing no mercy.
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
Star Plucking Old Ghost had no time left to beg for mercy; with a blast, he spat out a mouthful of blood as the terrifying force destroyed his internal organs.
Star Plucking Old Ghost died on the spot!
âGurgleâŠâ
Everyone present was struck with extreme horror, as a top fighter from the Mainland was killed with a single slap!
Powers of the Tianji Realm were truly fearsome!
The most terrified of those present were the members of the Heavenly Moon Sect. Witnessing the end of Star Plucking Old Ghost, they felt even more desperate.
âDan Emperor, have mercy! Dan Emperor, please!â Other than kowtowing and ceaselessly begging for mercy, the people from the Heavenly Moon Sect had no idea what else to say.
âThe Dan Emperor is the young masterâs teacher, the most honored guest of the Zhang family. To disrespect the Dan Emperor is to make an enemy of the Zhang family! The Family Head has ordered: annihilate the Heavenly Moon Sect!â The Tianji Realm powerhouse declared coldly, each word carrying a chilling murderous intent that made one uncontrollably shudder.
âKill!â Feng Wuchen ordered coldly.
âYes!â The Tianji Realm powerhouse instantly took action, charging at the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect with explosive speed.
âDan Emperor! Dan EmperorâŠâ The Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sectâs face was filled with terror and despair.
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
Without any mercy and without giving the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect a chance to beg for mercy, the Tianji Realm powerhouse smashed down with a palm, ruthlessly killing the Hierarch.
ââŠâ Fan Shaoyun was so frightened he couldnât even speak. He could only watch in horror and despair as his father was struck down.
âYou must die too!â The Tianji Realm powerhouse launched another palm strike toward Fan Shaoyun.
âStop!â Just then, from the high skies not far away, came an angry roar.
