Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 723 - 722 Goddess is Afraid of Me

The Wu Family retreated.

The severely injured Great Saint Realm expert and the Marquis whose memories had been extracted were abandoned by the higher-ups of the Wu Family. The former's cultivation had been shattered; even if he managed to survive, he'd likely become useless. Meanwhile, the latter's extracted memories directly confirmed the Wu Family's treason against the Human Clan. Moreover, with the Marquis's life hanging by a thread, he probably wouldn't last much longer.

「In the sky above.」

Zhang Ziyu suddenly became excited, inwardly shouting, Damn it, damn it! Ping is truly incredible, way too incredible! He really is my Ping...

Not only did he block a group of the Wu Family's high-ranking members with a single sword strike, but he also used such Divine Skills to expose the Wu Family's conspiracy.

"Hey... you, the woman from the Nalan family, come over here..." Zhang Ziyu swept his gaze over Nalan Hongying. Having just severely injured a Great Saint Realm expert filled this Son of the Fate Energy with considerable confidence, making him feel invincible.

Nalan Hongying forced her eyes open. While she didn't particularly like being addressed as "hey," she refrained from objecting due to the strength of Zhang Ziyu and Chen Pingping. She responded in a soft voice, "The suppression of Tiger Land is a major affair of the Human Clan. As a guarding family of the Four Symbols Array, the Narlan Clan bears a heavy responsibility and will certainly join forces with the Zhang Family to deal with this matter."

She chose to compromise, feeling that the scene Zhang Ziyu and Chen Pingping had orchestrated was meant for them. The effect was indeed quite good; otherwise, Nalan Hongying would not have agreed so easily. Moreover, the Wu Family's betrayal of the Human Clan was intriguing. Regardless of the truth, it was best for her to pick a side now.

Zhang Ziyu: "..."

Zhu Zibai also spoke up, "Me too."

Damn! This isn't how it's supposed to go! Shouldn't the young prodigies of the three major powers be arrogant, looking down their noses, and then mock his Zhang Family, even humiliating him, the Son of the Fate Energy? Compromising so quickly? Besides, he hadn't come here to negotiate; he came to sabotage the negotiation. How could they compromise?

For a moment, Zhang Ziyu was somewhat stunned.

「Not far away...」

The Divine Clan prodigy clenched his fists tightly. Is it really going to succeed?

Wang Lin'er glanced at him.

The prodigy continued, "Damn it, the Wu Family are a bunch of idiots! By exposing themselves at this time, aren't they going to ruin the Divine Clan's plans?" After speaking, he stepped forward and said, "Goddess, rest assured. With me here, I will certainly eliminate these two variables, and... I won't let them form an alliance."

As he spoke, a plan formed in his mind.

Wang Lin'er remained silent, but she sighed repeatedly in her heart, Li Chaoge, you truly lack foresight.

She felt a tinge of regret. If Li Chaoge had come, he would definitely have chosen to observe quietly, unlike this fool who believed the Divine Clan was invincible. Of course, she too used to think that way. But this was, after all, the Human Clan's territory, and they lacked the backing of the Divine Clan's higher-ups. Making a rash move would undoubtedly lead to significant trouble.

As expected, no sooner had the fellow charged out, not even finishing his words, than he was struck back by Zhang Ziyu's Sword Dao.

"How dare the Divine Clan intrude upon Human Clan territory!"

"Who in the lands of Huangzhou doesn't know that the Human Clan is under the protection of me, the Son of the Fate Energy?"

"Thinking of fleeing? Taste my sword!" His state of mind wasn't the same as before, but the sword strike he unleashed still carried traces of the Opening Heaven Sword Intent.

Not only that, but his cultivation realm also began to elevate, stepping into the first heaven of the Saint King realm, greatly increasing his combat power. This filled Zhang Ziyu with immense elation; becoming a Saint King brought him infinitely closer to the other young prodigies.

My identity as the Sword Immortal's Successor should be secure now, right?

He unleashed several Sword Intents in succession, striking such terror into the Divine Clan prodigy that he nearly lost his soul, cursing internally, Damn it! He was only in the Saint Realm just now! How did he suddenly break through to Saint King? A miscalculation, a complete miscalculation!

Although he himself was also a Saint King, the Sword Dao of the Son of the Fate Energy was evidently extraordinary; its intermittent bursts of power could compensate for the difference in cultivation realms.

The Divine Clan prodigy fled.

Zhang Ziyu didn't pursue. He saw the Goddess, his lips moved, and only one word escaped: "Trash."

Heh.

Wang Lin'er chuckled, "Not bad at all."

"Goddess, fight me!" Zhang Ziyu drew his sword, his eyes blazing.

"You're not my match."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Ziyu glared furiously at her. "I possess the Opening Heaven Sword Intent! If I unleash it fully, I can surely kill you! Fight me if you dare…"

Although he still felt a bit panicked, having used the Opening Heaven Sword Intent twice—severely injuring both the Marquis of the Wu Family and their Great Saint Realm expert—this Mr. Zhang had gained considerable confidence.

Now, seeing the Goddess, if I could defeat her, or even kill her, wouldn't my titles as Son of the Fate Energy and Sword Immortal's Successor be as solid as a rock? In the future, across the vast lands of Huangzhou, who would dare mock me? Wouldn't they have to be utterly respectful when my name is mentioned?

Wang Lin'er remained indifferent, instead looking towards Chen Pingping.

Behind her, Nalan Hongying and Zhu Zibai silently exchanged glances; they actually hoped the Goddess would make a move.

"It will happen," Wang Lin'er smiled. "There will come a day when you and I will fight, but not now."

She could see Zhang Ziyu's limits, but not Chen Pingping's. His strength was still unfathomable. Moreover, the Divine Skill he had used earlier to extract memories had truly shocked her.

Unbeatable.

Wang Lin'er said no more, turned, and walked away, only to hear a voice from behind.

"Did you see that? Even the Divine Clan's Goddess doesn't dare to fight me! She's scared! What does that tell you?" Zhang Ziyu chuckled, his whole being radiating a foolish self-satisfaction. "It shows that my strength is more than enough to crush the Goddess! She doesn't dare fight me because she's afraid of losing. Such a defeat would be embarrassing for her!"

Wang Lin'er stumbled slightly, sorely tempted to turn back, pin him down, and unleash a flurry of punches.

But in the end, she didn't turn back. It wasn't Zhang Ziyu who is unbeatable, but Chen Pingping. I need a reliable teammate to stand behind me, to guard my path. Only then can I focus wholeheartedly on killing Chen Pingping.

"Mr. Zhang?" Nalan Hongying spoke again, reiterating her stance, as she did not wish to stay any longer. The events of the day had been too shocking, and she needed to report this news back to her clan.

"Wow… you're really beautiful," Zhang Ziyu grinned, changing the subject. "Are you free tonight?"

"No!"

"What a pity!" Zhang Ziyu pouted. "Oh, right, what were you saying just now?"

"We were discussing the matter of the breach in Tiger Land."

"I need to think it over. You should go back and wait for my notice," Zhang Ziyu said, considering carefully. "It's not that I don't trust you, but rather your Narlan Clan. You see… what if your Nalan family, like the Wu Family, secretly betrays the Human Clan and then allies with my Zhang Family, only to stab us in the back at a crucial moment? TSK TSK, that would be a huge deal. If my Zhang Family falls, it would mean the Human Clan's last line of defense collapses, and the consequences would be dire."

Nalan Hongying's face stiffened.

Her Narlan Clan never intended to form an alliance! If it weren't for this Wu Family incident, she wouldn't have even given him the time of day. And now that she had chosen to compromise, Zhang Ziyu dared to speak like this!

What now? Among the four great families, besides his Zhang Family, wasn't her Narlan Clan also a guardian of the Human Clan? Just because the Wu Family betrayed the Human Clan didn't mean they would too. Zhang Ziyu's words were truly hurtful! And wait for notice? As if her Narlan Clan was begging to help! Damn it!

She maintained a composed expression.

Zhang Ziyu raised an eyebrow. "Are you upset?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"You're clearly upset."

"..."

"We're all guardian families of the Four Symbols Array. If you have an issue, just say it. Don't go muttering insults under your breath," Zhang Ziyu stared intently at her. "Feel free to speak your mind; I won't blame you."

Nalan Hongying remained silent, unable to fathom Zhang Ziyu's intentions at that moment.

"And you, surnamed Zhu." Zhang Ziyu looked towards Zhu Zibai. "I can tell at a glance you're not a good person. PAH! Dreaming of allying with my Zhang Family? Forget it in this lifetime!"

「Not far away…」

Chen Pingping turned and murmured to himself, How does the role of such a scoundrel suit him so perfectly?
