Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Battle with the Heavenly Monarch

“Tianying Pavilion Assassin!”

High above, a black-robed elder blinked into existence, his fierce old face staring intently at Feng Wuchen, with a terrifying aura already locking onto Feng Wuchen.

The cold murderous intent was suffocating.

The black-robed elder was Liu Kuangsheng, the Great Elder of the Glazed Light Sect, whose cultivation had reached the early stages of the Heavenly Monarch Realm.

Although the Glazed Light Sect was not considered a major power, there were several Heavenly Monarch level powerhouses within the sect.

It was only in the Heavenly Realm that one could be considered a powerhouse upon reaching the Heavenly Monarch Realm.

However, breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm was extremely difficult, and countless cultivators struggled to step into this realm.

“Such a heavy killing intent, befitting the realm of a Heavenly Monarch. Whether it’s aura, strength, or speed, all are far beyond the King Realm.”

Feng Wuchen was sizing up the elder with a solemn expression.

Facing a powerhouse of Heavenly Monarch level, Feng Wuchen felt immense pressure.

“Great Elder, he… he killed Brother Dong and Junior Brother Zhang, and if the Great Elder had not arrived, he would have killed me as well,” the disciple pointed at Feng Wuchen and exclaimed in horror.

Hearing this, Liu Kuangsheng’s old face grew even grimmer, and his murderous intent intensified.

“You are Wind Shadow, aren’t you?” Liu Kuangsheng asked in a deep voice, “Recently, you’ve been the most active assassin of Tianying Pavilion, notorious indeed. But you’re too audacious, daring to kill disciples of my Glazed Light Sect!”

“Dong Yunfei’s name is on the bounty task. The rules of Tianying Pavilion dictate that those listed shall not escape death,” Feng Wuchen said coldly, showing no fear even in the face of a Heavenly Monarch.

“Your name is on my death list as well!” Liu Kuangsheng said icily. His killing intent surged several times over, ready to strike down Feng Wuchen.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

At that moment, seven or eight figures blinked into sight; the arrivals were none other than the City Lord of Aoyun City along with the Family Heads and elders of the four major families of Aoyun City.

Besides them, numerous cultivators in Aoyun City had also come following the news.

Tang Shan, the City Lord of Aoyun City, wore black armor and a battle cloak, exuding an awe-inspiring presence and the imposing air of a city lord.

Tang Shan’s cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, his power fearsome.

“Tianying Pavilion Assassin!” Spotting Feng Wuchen’s attire, they immediately identified him as an assassin from the Tianying Pavilion.

“Elder Liu, what happened?” Tang Shan first took a good look at Feng Wuchen and then turned to ask Liu Kuangsheng.

“Dong Yunfei and four disciples of our sect were killed by him,” Liu Kuangsheng said darkly.

“What? Dong Yunfei…” Tang Shan’s expression suddenly changed.

Dong Yunfei, after all, was the top disciple of the Glazed Light Sect, his realm in the late stages of the King Realm, his strength by no means weak.

Yet the Tianying Pavilion assassin before them was able to kill him, indicating a formidable level of cultivation.

“I cannot discern his cultivation level. Has he reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm already?” Tang Shan frowned inwardly, scrutinizing Feng Wuchen intently.

“It’s good that Dog Yunfei is dead. I wouldn’t want my precious daughter to marry an animal. If it were not for the old ghost, the Sect Master of the Glazed Light Sect, threatening me, why would I have agreed? Hmm, I’d like to see if your Glazed Light Sect really dares to move against Tianying Pavilion,” Tang Shan sneered secretly to himself.

“Great Elder, kill him quickly, avenge Brother Dong!” the disciple pointed at Feng Wuchen and shouted angrily.

“Wind Shadow, your arrogance ends here. I will make you understand the consequences of killing disciples from my Glazed Light Sect!” Liu Kuangsheng spoke coldly, his fierce aura erupting fiercely.

Confronted by Liu Kuangsheng, Feng Wuchen had no intention of leaving; he wanted to test the extent of his own strength.

“Fighting against a Heavenly Monarch level powerhouse may bring considerable benefits for my breakthrough to the Heavenly Monarch Realm,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself, already decided to battle Liu Kuangsheng.

“Buzz! Buzz!”

Divine Power of the Heavenly Dao and the strength of the Supreme Physique Third Stage were activated simultaneously, bursting forth with brilliant golden light. An overbearing power erupted like a Jiao Long leaping from the sea, the void rippling like surging waves.

“King Realm late stage! No, what is this power? What’s going on with his aura? His combat strength has skyrocketed to the peak! Wait, this… this is the aura of Divine Power! And it’s stronger than any Divine Power I’ve ever encountered. Is he from the Divine Clan?” Tang Shan became more and more astonished as he watched, until his face betrayed a complete loss of composure.

“How is this possible…” The four Family Heads and several elders were left dumbstruck, their faces filled with shock.

“King Realm late stage peak!” Liu Kuangsheng’s old face also showed some change.

The many cultivators watching from Proud Cloud City were all startled by Feng Wuchen’s surge of power.

The ability to enhance one’s combat strength by an entire level in an instant is an achievement few can accomplish, given the vast differences in the levels of martial cultivation.

It’s no surprise that Feng Wuchen possesses such formidable strength to slay Dong Yunfei.

However, what shocked them went far beyond that.

“Kylin Battle Armor! Dragon God Fist Glove!”

Feng Wuchen consecutively summoned two Divine Artifacts; his aura surged wildly once again, the overwhelming might swirling outwards, instantly breaking past the peak of the King Realm late stage. A trace of the aura of the Heavenly Monarch Realm began to emerge ominously, both tyrannical and terrifying.

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The raging waves of qi continued unabated, causing the space within hundreds of feet to violently tremble and roll.

“Divine Artifact! Forged of Ninth Order!”

“He actually possesses two Divine Artifacts!”

“His combat strength is approaching the early stages of the Heavenly Monarch Realm! How is this possible? With the cultivation of the King Realm late stage, he can actually burst forth with the power of the Heavenly Monarch Realm!”

Tang Shan and the others’ expressions changed dramatically once more, a mix of shock, disbelief, and horror clearly displayed on their faces.

“Ninth Order forged Divine Artifact!” Even Liu Kuangsheng’s old face finally registered fright.

“Truly terrifying, truly worthy of being a Tianying Pavilion assassin, and to even have Divine Artifacts!” The crowd of onlookers erupted into a buzz, exclamations unabated.

“I want to try out the strength of those in the Heavenly Monarch Realm!” Feng Wuchen coldly declared, ready to fight with all his might.

Looking at Feng Wuchen’s fierce stance, he had no intention of fleeing, but planned to fight a decisive battle to the death with Liu Kuangsheng!

“A King Realm fighting a Heavenly Monarch?” Tang Shan and everyone else present were chilled to the bone by Feng Wuchen’s crazy decision.

“Foolhardy!” Liu Kuangsheng darkly said, his old eyes narrowing as he suddenly launched an attack, charging toward Feng Wuchen with the force of a tiger descending the mountain.

“Boom!”

With a flap of his black wings, a powerful rumble echoed as Feng Wuchen’s figure instantly transformed into a golden lightning bolt, shooting out explosively.

The two figures flashed and flickered in quick succession, moving so swiftly that the naked eye could hardly keep up.

“Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

In an instant, the two fiercely collided with a punch, an explosive sound erupting, as gold and blue light burst forth, the terrifying collision energies rolling through the void, causing it to shake.

“He can actually withstand my power!” Liu Kuangsheng’s old face was filled with utter shock, staring blankly at Feng Wuchen.

“A King Realm actually blocking the power of the Heavenly Monarch Realm!” The entire place was in shock, everyone staring agape, their bodies rigid.

Tang Shan said with a face full of amazement, “How could a cultivation at the late King Realm possess such terrifying power, able to contend with a Heavenly Monarch strongman! And his speed, completely on par with Liu Kuangsheng!”
