Chapter 26: Chaos

  "Whoosh!" Zhang Huaming took the last step to reach the fourth floor. As his body entered the fourth floor, he felt a sudden lightness, and the feeling of heaviness that had been weighing him down earlier vanished completely.

  "No wonder only a martial artist of the Wu Zong realm has the ability to buy things here." Zhang Huaming thought to himself, because he had just casually taken a look and found that the cheapest elixirs here were all priced in the tens of thousands of gold taels. However, these items were extremely practical for martial artists of the Wu Zong realm, such as the Po Zong Dan, which could increase one's chances of breaking through to the Wu Wang realm by 50% with just one pill.

  "What does this young master want to buy?" a voice like an oriole sounded in Zhang Huaming's ear.

  "Ah..." Zhang Huaming turned his head back and stared, unable to continue speaking, his face filled with an expression of disbelief as he muttered: "Yu Yan, is that you?"

  "Yuan Yu?" The girl standing in front of Zhang Huaming furrowed her brow slightly at this address, smiling: "Sir, do you know me?"

  Zhang Huaming heard the woman's words, his expression suddenly became agitated, and he directly stretched out both hands to tightly grasp the other's delicate and white small hands, pulling her into his own embrace: "Yu Yan, it's really you. Heaven knows I'm alone and lonely, so they sent you to my side from somewhere. I knew it was you..."

  "Uncle Tian, don't..." Just as Zhang Huaming was extremely excited, he heard a shocking cry. Before he could react, he felt an enormous force coming from his left side, directly blasting his body flying out.

  Bang! Zhang Huaming's body was dragged out more than ten meters away on the ground, and it didn't stop until it crashed into the wall of the four-story building.

  "Pffft!" Zhang Huaming, who had stood up, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned solemn as he gazed at the middle-aged man standing beside Yu Xuan and asked in a cold tone, "Are you a Martial King?"

  "Huh, young man, you actually sensed my realm?" The middle-aged man's face showed a surprised expression, because among cultivators, one can only sense the realm of someone with the same or similar cultivation level. Even those who are more sensitive can only sense realms that are at most one small stage higher than their own. But he and Zhang Huaming were clearly two major realms apart, so how did this young man see through his realm in just one glance? It was as if he had seen a ghost.

  "Yuan, come quickly, I'll protect you." Zhang Huaming shouted at Yuan.

  "This young master, I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. This humble woman is indeed called Yu Yan, but this humble woman does not know the young master at all." Yu Yan said with a smile on her face.

  "Are you Yu Yan? How is this possible?" Zhang Huaming muttered in disbelief, his eyes scanning Tianba's body before he suddenly made a move.

  "You must have used some trick to make Yu Yan forget me, I'll kill you."

  "Gongzi, don't." Yu Yan saw Zhang Huaming's crazy appearance and for some reason, a thread of concern welled up in her heart.

  "Little kid, you think a mere high-ranking martial artist like you can take me on? You're simply looking for death." Tianba saw that Zhang Huaming didn't care about anything and just attacked him, so he also got angry and stretched out his palm to lightly slap the incoming Zhang Huaming.

  Bang! Zhang Huaming's figure was like being hit by a high-speed train, instantly flying out and spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, hitting the wall and sliding down.

  "Tian Shu, don't." Yu Yan grabbed Tian Ba's arm, restraining his next move.

  "Miss?" Tian Ba's face showed a puzzled expression.

  "Cough, cough, cough!" Zhang Huaming got up shakily, his body suddenly rising without any wind, blowing his clothes to make a rustling sound.

  "What a strong killing intent." Tian Ba's originally disdainful expression suddenly turned solemn, his serious face staring intently at the opponent in front of him.

  "Ah!" Suddenly, Zhang Huaming and Tianba's eyes turned to a window on the fourth floor of the building facing south, and both of their eyebrows furrowed.

  "Miss, let's go." Tianba pulled Yuyan's arm and flashed out of the window, dashing towards the outside of Kyoto City.

  "Yuan!" Zhang Huaming was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment he also followed Tianba's departing figure and flashed away.

  Tianba and Zhang Huaming suddenly disappeared like ghosts outside the city of Kyoto. The two continued until they reached a small hill ten miles away from Kyoto before stopping in their tracks. The reason was simple: ten figures had appeared before them.

  "Tianba, do you think you can still run away today?" The black-clad man sneered.

  "Hei Wushen, are you saying that Ghost Mountain wants to declare war?" Tianba narrowed his eyes and said, with a glint of sharpness in his gaze.

  "My goodness, what a powerful lineup." Zhang Huaming, who followed Tianba, couldn't help but tremble when he saw the ten black-clad men. One martial arts king, one initial-stage martial emperor, and eight high-stage martial ancestors... it was rare to see so many martial ancestors in one place, yet they were the least valuable here.

  "Little one, wait for me to finish later, you take Miss away." A faint voice sounded in Zhang Huaming's ear.

  "Transmission of sound over a thousand miles?" Zhang Huaming heard the sound transmitted to his ear, and his heart slightly moved. He responded, "Old fellow, what kind of person are you?"

  Actually, after rushing through those roads just now, Zhang Huaming's excited mood gradually calmed down, and he also began to understand that this Yu Yan was not the Yu Yan in his own space. The reason why he continued to chase her was because of a kind of nostalgia for that Yu Yan in his heart.

  Tian Ba's body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Zhang Huaming. He was probably surprised by Zhang Huaming's thousand-mile transmission, after all, in this martial continent, anyone whose cultivation had not reached the Wu Dou Wang realm could not understand soul transmission.

  "Cut the nonsense, you bring Miss back to Beast God Mountain safely, and there will be no lack of benefits for you." Tian Ba's tone was full of overbearingness, as if it were an order.

  "Beast God Mountain?" Zhang Huaming heard this phrase, his heart was shocked again. He wasn't unfamiliar with the term "Beast God Mountain", but he was too stunned because Beast God Mountain was a taboo in the Martial Continent, filled with too much mystery.

  "Take him down." The black-clad man seemed to have sensed something was off and with a wave of his hand, he prepared to take action.

  "Little one, hurry up, the tiger is coming down the mountain." Tianba saw his opponent make a move and chose to strike first, so he swung his palm and slapped it fiercely towards the group of black-clothed men.

  "Wraith's wail!" The black-clad man at the forefront saw Tianba take action and immediately stretched out his palm to slap out a palm to meet him.

  Only to see the Tianba's palm emit a golden light, transforming into a fierce tiger shape, rushing towards the black-clad crowd. The leader of the black-clad men emitted a dark mist from his palm, transforming into a human figure, letting out a loud roar as he charged forward to meet the tiger.

  "Take action, take down those two." The black-clad man in charge gave the order.

  "Yuyan, you go first, I'll cover the back and head to Kyoto." Zhang Huaming concentrated his inner energy and set off in pursuit, while Yuyan ran directly towards the direction of Kyoto.

  "Dragon in the sky!" Zhang Huaming roared, his two hands slapping forward towards the nine men, several giant dragons emerging from his palms and pouncing on the nine men.

  "What?" The nine black-clad men who wanted to take down Zhang Huaming were shocked when they saw him make his move, turning the virtual into reality. This was something that only a martial arts king could achieve, how did someone of the Wu Zong level manage to do it? How is this possible?

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Nine men also used their ultimate moves, welcoming the giant dragon that was rushing towards them. In an instant, the entire battlefield echoed with the sound of a dragon's roar, deafeningly loud.

  "What? This kid?" The black-clothed man who was fighting against Tianba momentarily halted his movements upon seeing this scene.

  A master's move is not to be underestimated, Tian Ba seized this opportunity and accelerated his attack speed, increasing the power of his martial arts slightly. In an instant, the originally balanced situation turned into Tian Ba having the upper hand.

  Tian Ba was relieved, but Zhang Hua Ming, on the other hand, was tragic. If it were a one-on-one situation, Zhang Hua Ming wouldn't have any pressure, but now he's facing eight opponents of the same level and one opponent who is even higher-level than him. The consumption of his true energy naturally goes without saying. Most importantly, he originally had internal injuries that hadn't healed yet, and adding to that, he was injured earlier in the Treasure Pavilion when he fought Tian Ba. At this moment, the true energy inside his body began to become disordered.
