Chapter Seventy-two: The Battle Begins

  "What do you mean, Zheng?" Tianfeng said coldly. After all, Zheng Chuanfeng's words were too sarcastic and revealing. If he didn't speak up, where would the Tian family put their face? How could they still come out and socialize in the future?

  Zheng Chuanfeng heard the cold rebuke from Tianfeng and showed a disdainful expression, saying: "What? Can't Zheng say anything? I'm not talking about you, besides, this isn't your territory, can you still control me?"

  "You..." Tianfeng's finger pointed at Zheng Chuan, his words stuck in his throat.

  Liu Lei saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he immediately sent a message to Zheng Chuanfeng: "I'm telling you, Brother Zheng, don't provoke this old man anymore. Who knows, if he gets angry later on, you might get bitten."

  Zheng Chuanfeng seemed to be very confident, quickly responding: "Brother Liu, don't worry! This old man won't take action against me for the time being, unless the Tian family really wants to go all out with my Zheng family. Do you think the current Wulin Continent is suitable for our two families to start a war? Unless the Tian family wants to perish together, he wouldn't dare to take action."

  Liu Lei was taken aback by Zheng Chuanfeng's words, but the next moment, a smile appeared on his face because he understood the meaning behind Zheng Chuanfeng's words. Yes! Now the Martial Continent is being occupied by those humanoid monsters, and each side has gathered their strongest people to guard their headquarters. If the Tian family were to declare all-out war now, if both sides suffered heavy losses, allowing those humanoid monsters to join the battlefield, then the Tian and Zheng families would indeed face the threat of extinction.

  "Hmph! Let's see who'll be laughing in the end." Tianfeng fell silent after uttering those ruthless words.

  "Haha!" Zheng Chuanfeng heard Tianfeng's ruthless words, sneered and ignored the distant Tianfeng, continuing to chat with Liu Lei beside him.

  Liu Lei's eyes glanced at Tianfeng, who was about to enter the small cave to check, and smiled at Zheng Chuanfeng: "I said, Brother Zheng, don't you go in and take a look first? You see, their speed is much faster than ours."

  Zheng Chuanfeng smiled with an expressionless face and said, "Sometimes going in first doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a good deal. On the contrary, it might be a bad thing. What if we run into a mature divine beast hiding here? Wouldn't that be a loss for us?"

  "Haha! Brother Zheng is indeed calm and composed. I, Liu Lei, admit defeat!"

  Zhang Huaming, who was assisting Yu Yan in breaking through the Wu Zun boundary in a small cave, suddenly opened his eyes, furrowed his brow, because the Hunyuan Pearl in his mind had just fluctuated greatly, startling him who was concentrating on helping Yu Yan infuse the Fire Spirit Qi.

  "Ah! Someone's actually here?" Zhang Huaming's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and the next moment, his face was filled with gloominess. Because he saw that the person who came was actually the master of the Tianjia household, and by his side were two formidable experts.

  "What to do?" Zhang Huaming was now using his mind in two ways, on the one hand helping his wife infuse the fire spirit energy, and on the other hand thinking of a solution to the current predicament. If his wife missed this opportunity, who knows when the next chance would come, and it wouldn't be easy to find another good chance like this to break through.

  Outside the small cave, Tian Feng and the two elderly attendants of the Heavenly Family cautiously approached the entrance of the small cave filled with fire spirit energy, stopping about ten meters away. The three of them suddenly released their divine sense into the cave, presumably to observe the situation inside. Unfortunately, just as their divine sense had barely entered the small cave, a shocking thunderclap sounded beside the ears of the three people.

  Buzz! The three people of Tianfeng felt a shock in their hearts, and the next moment, he seemed to be deaf, unable to hear any external sounds.

  "Pffft!" Zhang Huaming spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale. Just now, in his haste, he had used the Lion's Roar from Shaolin Temple's 72 ultimate techniques, and unexpectedly, its effect was so great that it could even stun someone in the Martial God Realm. It seemed that next time he fought with someone, he could try using it again.

  After Zhang Huaming's blood splattered onto Yu Yan's clothes, Yu Yan's body began to tremble as she knelt in front of Zhang Huaming.

  "Don't be distracted, quickly go and reflect on those scenes that have stayed in your mind, it will increase your chances of enlightenment in this life." Just as Yu Yan was about to speak, Zhang Huaming had already interrupted what she wanted to say.

  "En." Yu Yan hummed in agreement and continued to absorb the external flame spirits to break through.

  "Yan'er, hold on for a moment, I'll go drive away those flies outside." Zhang Huaming instructed Yan'er with his soul voice.

  "Be careful, sir."

  "En." Zhang Huaming heard Yu Yan's address, a smile appeared on his face. In the moment he turned around, his original smile quickly became cold. At this moment, he regretted why he didn't bring Karyn out together this time, otherwise he wouldn't be disturbed by others.

  "Huh? Brother Zheng, look! Someone's coming out of that spiritual aura!" Liu Lei exclaimed with a surprised expression.

  Zheng Chuanfeng was actually calling out to Liu Lei, and his line of sight immediately surrendered to the opposite side's spiritual energy, which was shrouded in a hazy red mist. The three people from Tianfeng who had originally wanted to rush into the mist saw a figure appear within it, and they all retreated several steps back.

  Thud, thud, thud! Footsteps echoed through the fog.

  "Is it you?" Tianfeng was the closest to the three people in the fog, so he naturally saw the person who came out first, and surprisingly it was Zhang Huaming.

  Zhang Huaming ignored Tianfeng's words and raised an eyebrow, coldly saying to the three family heads in front of him: "Was it one of you who wanted to enter here just now?"

  Brush brush! For some reason, when Zhang Huaming's words fell, Liu Lei and Zheng Chuanfeng's eyes simultaneously cast onto Tian Feng who was in a sulky mood.

  Zhang Huaming saw Liu Lei and Zheng Chuanfeng's expressions, if he didn't know who was the host just now, it would also lose his face as a former king of soldiers.

  "Tell me, how is this matter going to be resolved?" Zhang Huaming gazed at Tianfeng with an icy expression.

  "How to solve it?" Tianfeng heard Zhang Huaming's question, and he was taken aback for a moment. The next moment he burst out laughing and said: "Ignorant little kid, if I didn't see the face of your master, today I would have kept you here."

  "If you want me to stay, then let's see if you have the skills. Look out." As soon as Zhang Huaming finished speaking, he didn't give his opponent any time to react and directly pounced on him.

  "Hubris." The two middle-aged men standing on either side of the Heavenly Wind also reacted in the first instance with a loud shout, and then attacked Zhang Huaming who was approaching them head-on.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three loud sounds of physical impact rang out, and Zhang Huaming was seen flipping over in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground. The two men who were fighting him, however, flew backward several meters before stabilizing their figures.

  "Come on!" Zhang Huaming beckoned to the two elderly deities of Tianjia with a hook of his finger.

  "Ignorance and audacity." The two elderly attendants of the Tian family were driven into a rage by Zhang Huaming's actions.

  Due to time constraints, I'll post one chapter first. I've been up for three days and nights, so I'm going to rest for a bit. When I wake up, I'll continue writing. Sorry about the delay, everyone. These past few days will definitely be made up for.
