Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Asking for Trouble Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Asking for Trouble Feng Wuchen was only at the first layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. Although he possessed the aura of someone at the fourth layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, it only served to shock Zhang Shiliang.
Zhang Shiliang was quite confident in his own strength, being a true fourth-layer expert of the Heavenly Human Realm, while Feng Wuchenâs combat power had been artificially enhanced. By comparison, Zhang Shiliang had the upper hand.
âBoom!â
âHumming!â
In the high sky, two dazzling lights collided, exploding with a thunderous boom, terrifying energy surged and rolled outward, causing the void to vibrate with humming sounds.
The splendid green light and the blood light each occupied half of the sky, the two lights being none other than Zhang Shiliang and Feng Wuchen.
âFirst-layer of Heavenly Human Realm, yet truly possessing the strength of the fourth layer, you brat, I have underestimated you!â Zhang Shiliang said with a cold frown. Only after a forceful clash did he confirm that Feng Wuchenâs strength was a facade.
Feng Wuchen said, expressionless, âHavenât you always looked down on me?â
Zhang Shiliangâs eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more vicious, and he let out a cold snort before launching a frenzied offensive.
âBoom boom boom!â
âHumming!â
Fists and feet fiercely clashed, unfolding a high-intensity battle, explosions echoing through Blood Moon City, wave after wave of fierce energy tremors following.
Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shiliangâs speed was astonishing. Those with weaker cultivation couldnât see their figures at all, only able to feel the terrifying energy spreading in the high sky.
âHe can actually contend with someone at the fourth layer of Heavenly Human RealmâŠâ
âTruly⊠I canât believe it. No wonder he could severely injure Gan Yu with a single punch.â
âWho is he exactly? Is there such a terrifying genius in the Star Realm?â
The upper echelons of the main city and the Mo family had their faces stunned, eyes filled with shock.
Qiu Shuishan, the great elder of the main city who was healing, also wore a face full of shock.
âThis brat actually has such formidable strength!â Watching the battle between Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shiliang, Mo Zhengnan was extremely shocked, feeling a strong threat.
If he hadnât seen it with his own eyes, Mo Zhengnan would have found it hard to believe that a person at the first layer of the Heavenly Human Realm could compete with the fourth layer without falling behind.
âHad he not stood by and watched as he died, my son would not be dead!â Mo Zhengnanâs face looked extremely ugly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Feng Wuchen had caused his sonâs death.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and his determination to kill Feng Wuchen grew stronger.
As a fifth-layer expert of the Heavenly Human Realm, Mo Zhengnan was far stronger than both Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shiliang, yet he dared not act rashly because of his fear of the Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder.
Otherwise, with Mo Zhengnanâs strength, killing Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shili would be as easy as flipping his hand.
âHmph! When the two of you are both injured, that will be the time of your death!â Mo Zhengnan thought viciously, his fierce gaze involuntarily turning towards Ling Xiaoxiao.
âAs long as I capture this wretched girl, I wonât have to worry about that kid escaping,â Mo Zhengnan thought to himself.
Having experienced Feng Wuchenâs formidable movement technique, he really wasnât sure he could stop Feng Wuchen from escaping.
With this in mind, while Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shiliang were engaged in fierce battle, Mo Zhengnan suddenly shot into the sky, his speed astounding, his presence powerful.
âXiao Xiao, be careful!â Feng Wuchen, sensing something, furrowed his brows and shouted loudly.
âMo Zhengnan! You despicable scoundrel!â Qiu Shuishan roared angrily.
âHmph!â Ling Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, her icy gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching Mo Zhengnan. Then she gathered a light blue barrier, enveloping herself and Qiu Shuishan within.
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
In the blink of an eye, Mo Zhengnan rapidly approached and struck the azure barrier with his palm. With a booming explosion that shook the void, Mo Zhengnanâs expression wildly changed. An extremely terrifying power rebounded forcefully, causing Mo Zhengnan to spit out blood and his figure to be thrown backward.
âFamily Head!â The Mo family members were shocked, and the three Elders quickly soared into the sky.
âHow is this possible!â Mo Zhengnanâs eyes widened with fear as he stared at Ling Xiaoxiao.
He had thought he could take advantage of the situation to capture Ling Xiaoxiao, but what Mo Zhengnan hadnât anticipated was that the azure barrier Ling Xiaoxiao had conjured would possess such terrifying power.
âHow could this wretched girl have such a terrifying barrier!â Mo Zhengnan was extremely terrified, the horror of the azure barrier exceeding his imagination.
Mo Zhengnanâs face was pale, with severe injuries. He had just intended to shatter Ling Xiaoxiaoâs barrier with one palm and capture her, only to find that the more powerful the force he exerted, the more dreadful the rebound.
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Mo Zhengnan with a cold gaze and said indifferently, âYou think you can break my defenses? Overestimating yourself!â
âFamily Head Mo, youâre just asking for trouble,â Feng Wuchen said with a contemptuous sneer.
âSuch a terrifying barrier! Even someone in the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm canât break it!â Zhang Shiliang thought to himself with amazement, now very curious about Ling Xiaoxiao.
âMiss Xiao Xiao, Mo Zhengnan is severely injured. Iâve cured my poison and recovered quite a bit of my health. Letâs join forces and eradicate the Mo family!â Qiu Shuishan declared grimly.
âGood!â Ling Xiaoxiao fully activated her Bloodline Power, and her aura immediately surged to the level of the Third Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, with an extremely violent energy.
Ling Xiaoxiao summoned her Crystal Ice Sword and said icily, âIâll deal with Mo Zhengnan!â
âThe rest of the Mo family will be handled by me!â Qiu Shuishan shouted, his momentum formidable.
âQiu Shuishan, are you betraying the City Lord?â an Elder shouted angrily.
âHmph! He was unkind, so Iâll be unjust. I must have been blind! Out of respect for the past, I wonât kill you. But if anyone dares to interfere, donât blame me for being ruthless!â Qiu Shuishan coldly shouted, and then without hesitation he charged at the Mo familyâs experts.
âQiu Shuishan, youâre seeking death! Attack!â one of the Mo family Elders shouted in anger.
The fight broke out, with Ling Xiaoxiao confronting the heavily injured Mo Zhengnan, while Qiu Shuishan bravely fought against the three great Elders of the Mo family.
At the same time, the close-quarters battle between Feng Wuchen and Zhang Shiliang had ended.
Throughout the intense fight, Zhang Shiliang not only failed to gain any advantage, but his punches and kicks began to hurt him instead. Forced into a corner, Zhang Shiliang had no choice but to decisively give up.
âThis kidâs physical strength is so powerful!â Zhang Shiliang had realized Feng Wuchenâs strength, and noticing his powerful physique, his expression turned extremely serious.
âBoom!â
With a flap of his black wings, Feng Wuchen burst forth suddenly, accompanied by a strong booming sound, not intending to give Zhang Shiliang any chance to breathe.
Zhang Shiliangâs expression turned extremely dark, and his aura suddenly changed. He summoned his terrifying water-based True Yuan, and with his hands forming seals, a blue light burst forth.
âLetâs show you something fierce!â Zhang Shiliang said viciously. Centered on himself, within a thousand meters, countless beads of water the size of fists condensed in the air.
Zhang Shiliang, with his palms facing the charging Feng Wuchen, coldly shouted, âThousand Swords Piercing the Heart!â
âSwoosh swoosh swoosh!â
âBuzz buzz!â
Countless beads of water instantly transformed into Water Swords and burst forth all at once, like myriad shooting stars. Their towering might was terrifying.
âInsignificant tricks!â Feng Wuchen said with a look of disdain, completely disregarding the thousands of Water Swords, charging straight ahead. His black wings flapped continuously, accelerating further and further!
