Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 698 - 697: Don’t Force Me to Slap You

Brother Zhang Heng is dead? How could Brother Zhang Heng possibly be dead? No, no, no… This has to be fake.

Zhang Ziyu's breathing grew rapid; he was unwilling to believe it.

Within the entire Zhang Family, his relationship with Zhang Heng was the closest. Zhang Heng was silent and reticent, disliking speech, so every time Zhang Ziyu encountered some trouble, he would always chatter away to him. Zhang Heng, in turn, was always incredibly calm, without the slightest sign of impatience.

Over time, Zhang Ziyu had come to regard Zhang Heng as his best friend.

He never imagined that he would fall.

Had a mere trip to the Southern Diaspora truly resulted in a separation between heaven and man?

BANG!

The Nether Moon in the high sky finally took shape, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.

The densest Strange Power began to fall in strands…

AAAH!

Screams continuously rang out from within the area.

Wang Lin'er's smile was brilliant.

At that moment, a strand of Strange Power descended from the sky and pierced through Zhang Ziyu's body. His eyes shot wide open as he snapped back to reality.

Luckily, he was a Saint.

Even though pierced by Strange Power, he was not immediately killed. The Power of the Saint erupted as he resisted.

His body was pinned high in the sky, the Vitality Power within him rapidly vanishing.

The Dark Chaos.

Chen Pingping's pupils suddenly constricted.

He had fantasized about the origin of the Dark Chaos and various terrifying scenarios more than once, but he had never imagined that one day, such a horrific scene would come so close.

Nether Moon, an ancient Divine Skill.

People pierced by Strange Power all shared one characteristic: their life vanished in an instant.

They weren't killed; they were devoured.

The supreme experts of the Divine Clan were collecting the Life Essence of the Human Clan.

Is this the origin of the Dark Chaos? It's as if I can see epochs from ages long past.

THUD!

From the depths of the Zhang Family, the ancient ancestor who had slumbered for countless years finally awakened.

He was an old man with a hunched back, his face sallow, his body withered and nearly devoid of flesh—a true picture of skin and bones. His eyes were so deeply sunken that his eyeballs were invisible. His white hair was sparse.

He leaned on a battered walking stick.

The scarce Vitality Power within him was slowly igniting.

The sound just now had come from the walking stick in his hand. As it tapped the ground lightly, the Divine Might of the Emperor Realm burst forth. In an instant, it blocked the Strange Power falling from the Nether Moon.

"Heh heh heh…" Wang Lin'er's smile was eerie. "I didn't expect the Zhang Family to still have a living Emperor Realm expert."

The senior members of the Zhang Family were shaken to their cores, their faces revealing joy as they cried out in unison, "Ancestor!"

「In the Mo River.」

The descendants of the Lineage of the Human Emperor also breathed a sigh of relief. "If we can't find the inheritor of the Human Emperor God Grid, we can't utilize the foundation left by the Human Emperor. What should we do?"

"What about that boy?" the drunkard asked.

"He's not qualified," the middle-aged Scholar said.

"You're wrong…" Liu gazed at the sky and whispered, "He's very suitable; no one is more suitable than him. But… he cannot become the new Human Emperor."

"Why?" the drunkard asked in astonishment.

Liu remained silent.

The Zhang Family Ancestor had acted, blocking the Nether Moon's attack.

The screams within the area also ceased.

But chaos had already erupted.

A group of Zhang Family seniors quickly gathered beside their Ancestor, ready for battle.

The young geniuses lurking in different areas felt their hearts stir with anticipation.

Of course, the same was true for the Divine Clan.

Seven or eight Quasi-Emperor Realm members of the Divine Clan furrowed their brows; they too had not expected the Zhang Family to still have a living Emperor Realm powerhouse.

For a moment, the situation became tense and frozen.

"How long can you hold out?" A solemn voice came from above the sky.

It was a Quasi-Emperor Realm member of the Divine Clan, also the leader of this contingent. He had spent decades setting up this grand scheme. Now, with the Divine Skill nearing Perfection and Strange Power descending, the Human Clan's domain was on the verge of annihilation.

For a Human Emperor to emerge at such a time… This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to his plans.

He did not want to start a war; if he could eliminate them quietly, he would. Initiating a war with the Human Clan was unwise, even though he had deduced that Tiger Land was right below, and that the great tomb was about to open. The Power of the Four Symbols comprised four distinct powers. To attack the Human Clan on all fronts would be too costly.

"Do you wish to try?" the old man slowly lifted his head, his empty gaze sweeping across the sky.

With just that look, that patch of Void instantly collapsed.

The figure of the Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor appeared before everyone's eyes—a middle-aged man, with a dignified bearing, surrounded by Divine Brilliance, looking utterly sacred. He showed no surprise at such a Divine Skill from the old man, his expression remaining calm and composed.

Not wanting to start a war and being afraid to start a war were two different concepts.

"Retreat!" the old man commanded. "Don't force me to slap you."

Everyone: "…"

Damn!

So badass.

So imposing.

How could this Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Zhang Family be so unexpectedly witty?

The blood of the young people boiled with excitement. Zhang Ziyu was particularly thrilled.

Not far away, Chen Pingping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He looked at the dignified old man who had just spoken such astonishing words.

The Divine Clan side suddenly fell silent.

They did not know what kind of combat strength this Great Emperor of the Human Clan could still unleash. After all, one should never judge an Emperor Realm powerhouse by their appearance.

「A few minutes passed…」

Seeing the Divine Clan made no response, the old man suddenly took a step forward.

Immense Power Path energy burst forth—invisible yet potent—like a series of swords slashing towards the heavens.

CRACK!

The ancient Divine Skill, which had taken decades to establish, showed cracks at that moment.

First one, then a second, then a third… The cracks spread like a spiderweb.

Witnessing this scene, the Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor's expression subtly changed.

"Do you truly believe you can act against my Human Clan?" The Great Emperor's eyes blazed with color as the Tao manifested, forming an Inner Great World. Even the walking stick in his hand erupted with Divine Brilliance at that moment.

That terrifying Imperial Might swept out, blanketing everything.

BOOM!

The Nether Moon, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, shattered in that instant. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor controlling it suffered a severe backlash, spewing a mouthful of blood.

"Ancestor!" Zhang Ziyu cried out, his expression exhilarated. "Quickly finish them off!"

"Senior, you certainly have an imposing presence," the Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor spoke coldly.

"Call your superior over, and see if I don't slap him as well," the old man sneered. "And you… so young, yet with such a heavy killing intent. You deserve to die!"

His icy words seemed to manifest the Tao itself, carrying the weight of 'what is spoken, is law.'

In a flash, it seemed as though the Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor was being pressed down by mountains. His body began to fall, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat poured from his forehead. His Dantian, Bloodline Power, and Divine Soul—all were suppressed within him, unable to circulate.

In another instant…

A terrifying killing intent pierced his body.

The Divine Clan members were visibly shaken.

It seemed this Human Clan Great Emperor was still as formidable as ever, his vitality still abundant!

"Senior!" the suppressed Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor managed to say with difficulty. "I will retreat. Why must Senior be so angered?"

Oh?

The old man replied coldly, "Are you suggesting I shouldn't be angry?"

The Divine Clan Quasi-Emperor added, "This junior was merely following orders." He gasped for breath, feeling the terrifying pressure, an indescribable suffocation.

Even at this moment, he had the sensation of being on the verge of death.

This Human Clan Great Emperor wants to kill me. Damn it! Would he really dare to strike? Isn't he afraid of provoking the wrath of the Divine Clan's supreme experts?

Fortunately, the killing intent gradually dissipated. He had bet correctly: this Human Clan Great Emperor wouldn't dare kill him so easily, and more importantly, he didn't want to start a war between the Human Clan and the Divine Clan.

He said no more. With a grand wave of his hand, he gave the command to retreat.

Seeing this, all the Human Clan cultivators finally relaxed their taut nerves, especially the high-level members of the Zhang Family. Facing such a massive assault by the Divine Clan had put tremendous pressure on them!

Thankfully, their Ancestor had awakened.

HEHEHE!

Wang Lin'er narrowed her eyes. "You're all lucky!"

"Hey, don't you go! I, your young master, want to fight you for three hundred rounds, then slay you and hang your bones on the city walls!" Zhang Ziyu shouted angrily.

"Really?" Wang Lin'er suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Of course!" Zhang Ziyu snorted. But upon seeing Wang Lin'er halt, his heart lurched, and he quickly blurted out, "But not now. This young master isn't in the mood to slay you today. I'll let you off for now."

Coward!

Wang Lin'er smirked contemptuously, then turned to Chen Pingping. "You are different from them. Your life is mine."

Zhang Ziyu rebuked, "Insolent! How dare you speak to my brother Ping like that?" He paused, then urged, "Ping, she's mocking you! Hurry up and deal with her! I was originally planning to do it myself, but for her to mock you so arrogantly… intolerable! If it were me, I definitely couldn't stand it."

Go on, Ping! Get her! Pin her against a wall, fight her for three hundred rounds, and show her what true human cruelty is!

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes. Are you blind? Didn't you see all these Divine Clan experts around? If I really kill the Goddess, I probably won't live past today! You're a Zhang Family member, with a Great Emperor Ancestor to protect you. I have nothing! And my gentle, lovely Master is still kneeling on the Ancient Road!

Just the thought of that desolate scene made Chen Pingping's heart ache with sympathy.
