Chapter 94: Two Punches_l
Translator: 549690339
This battle attracted the attention of many powerful experts, as well as the focus of various forces.
Centering around Jizhou, the nearby six or seven provinces all felt the impact, with Hollow Void Stage and Myriad Phenomena Realm masters watching from afar.
As the heart of the Daqian Empire, Yuanzhou was home to numerous Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters, all of whom were startled at this moment, casting their gazes over, yet they did not rush over to provide support.
The experts of the Yinyang Sect also paid attention as soon as possible, but they were just watching the show. This wasnât their doing, and the Yinyang Sect only wanted to know the outcome.
At this moment, outside the Province City of Jizhou, several figures were in a standoff, the atmosphere tense, with the air thick with the smell of gunpowder, ready to burst into a great battle at any moment.
One side had three figures, all Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmasters, but their complexions were not looking good at this moment, with one of them even exhibiting some signs of weakness.
The other side had only one person, tall and straight, with a heroic face, radiating a terrifying aura that was subtly suppressing the opposition.
This caused many distant onlookers to be shocked. Prince Wuâanâs strength was somewhat astounding; facing three Great Grandmasters alone, he still managed to gain the upper hand.
âNo matter who you are, no matter what forces you have behind you, none of you are escaping today.â
Chu Haoâs expression was indifferent, yet his eyes were somewhat gloomy. Did these forces really think the Daqian Empire was an easy target? They all wanted to come and try their hand at it.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, triggering heavenly phenomena, his oppressive True Martial Intent vast like the ocean, bearing down on the opposite side, firmly locking onto the three Great Grandmasters.
He was truly angered. A Commissioner of the Daqian Empire had been brazenly assassinated and had been successfully killed. If these murderers werenât left behind, the fall of the Daqian Empire wouldnât be far off.
No matter how powerful the forces behind them were, as long as they didnât openly show themselves, he was not the least bit afraid. Three Grandmasters were nothing but clowns in his eyes.
âToday, I will use the lives of these three Great Grandmasters to deter potential enemies.â
Chu Hao thought to himself, being targeted by many powerhouses, the Daqian Empire had been forbearing everywhere. Now, he could no longer tolerate it.
Strike with one punch to prevent a hundred! It was also time to show other forces the true strength of the Daqian Empire, to let them weigh whether or not they wanted to clash with the Daqian Empire to the death.
The three Great Grandmasters also released their own True Martial Intent, confronting Prince Wuâan, but even when joining forces, they were suppressed, managing only to withstand the pressure and communicating secretly through voice transmission.
âWhat do we do? Should we tactically reposition?â asked the Grandmaster on the left.
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Chu Hao is also just in the Myriad Phenomena Realm. If the three of us join forces, maybe we can kill him as well, which would be a tremendous achievement,â the Grandmaster in the middle said, itching for action.
The Grandmaster on the right, however, decisively negated the suggestion,
âRetreat. Our mission is already complete. Thereâs no need to fight with Prince Wuâan. Besides, Prince Wuâanâs strength is much greater than the records suggest.â
They had come from the Chaotic Domain, hidden their tracks all the way to Jizhou, tasked with assassinating the Commissioners of Luzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou, stirring chaos in the Daqian Empire, and incidentally provoking Prince Wuâan.
The death of a Commissioner of Sanzhou would undoubtedly cause major upheaval in the Daqian Empire. If the Daqian Empire couldnât find the culprit, it would shake the confidence of the Sects within the Daqian territories. They would immediately embark on the next course of action, directly undermining the ruling foundation of the Daqian Empire.
Provoking Prince Wuâan was just incidental. With Prince Wuâan remaining inactive in Huozhou, the Mysterious Forces wondered whether the death of a Great Grandmaster could draw him away.
According to the plan, they were to disappear immediately after successfully assassinating the Commissioners of Sanzhou, and even if Prince Wuâan arrived, it would be to no avail.
The initial part of the plan was very successful, but the actual outcome deviated greatly. Originally, they intended to strike as soon as they found an opportunity, with the combined force of the three Great Grandmasters being able to kill that Commissioner in one blow.
However, that Commissioner had exceedingly sharp senses. He somehow sensed the danger ahead of time and directly conjured a large tortoise shell, blocking this combined attack.
The trio had no choice but to continue attacking, striving to quickly kill the Commissioner, otherwise running away would turn into a complete farce.
All three of them were powerful, all late-stage Grandmasters of the Myriad
Phenomena Realm. The Commissioner was only at the sixth level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and even with that lower-grade Heaven Rank defensive artifact, he couldnât withstand their joint attack.
Upon going all out, they soon shattered the giant turtle shell and were about to slay the Commissioner when Prince Wuâan appeared in the skyline, throwing a punch from afar in an attempt to stop their violent deeds.
While the two Grandmasters continued their assault on the Commissioner of Da Qian, he turned to block the punch, believing that, although Prince Wuâan was powerful, there wouldnât be much difference in strength between them since he too was a late-stage Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.
But then he was sent flying by Prince Wuâanâs remote punch, spitting blood, with his internal organs smashed and shifted, suffering severe injuries, and his hands nearly snapping. Fortunately, his two companions promptly finished off the Commissioner of Da Qian and joined him in combat.
Otherwise, if Prince Wuâan had thrown one more punch, he would have met his end there today. Prince Wuâanâs power was too formidable, significantly stronger than what the intelligence had recorded; his combat ability might very well have touched the threshold of the True Martial Realm.
His speed might have also reached the True Martial Realm. From the beginning of their assassination attempt to the breaking of the turtle shell, it took no more than ten breaths for Prince Wuâan to arrive, having traversed over a million miles.
The thoughts of Prince Wuâan, and the telepathic conversations between the three Grandmasters, all occurred in an instant. Their Divine Spirits were incredibly powerful, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds in a moment.
âChu Hao, you may be strong, but you alone canât hold us back,â
the leading Grandmaster said with a cold laugh, agreeing to retreat since his two companions also favored it.
As he spoke, one of the Grandmasters took out a talisman and activated it immediately, preparing for Prince Wuâanâs attack while the other Grandmaster and he remained on guard.
The talisman burst into light in an instant, enveloping all three of them and about to transport them away, but to their horror, they didnât succeed.
âBoom!â
Chu Hao, as he began to speak, simply threw a punch. A huge fist seal swirling with the principles of heavenâs cycle emanated an incomparably domineering aura, blending with the vast and powerful intent of his punch and striking fiercely.
The three Grandmasters tried their best to defend, but they simply couldnât withstand it; the fist seal was unbeatable, shattering everything, even disrupting their spatial relocation.
âAre you kidding me?â
The three Grandmasters were sent flying back, their bodies battered, leaving wounds all over, bleeding everywhere, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Once the Great Spatial Transfer talisman was activated, they should have been teleported three million miles away in an instant, yet it was forcefully interrupted. The three Grandmasters, even with their combined strength, couldnât block a single hit from Prince Wuâan and were instead severely wounded.
âThinking of escaping? Did you ask for my permission?â
Prince Wuâan sneered and swung his fist again, his overpowering killing punch striking once more. No matter how the three Grandmasters resisted, they couldnât fend it off and were directly obliterated by the punch.
Chu Haoâs gaze swept across the Spiritual Senses lurking in the sky, sending a chilling fear through everyone, deterring further observation.
Lingjun City, Han Mansion.
Han Li was also watching the battle, but he refrained from using his Spiritual Sense, fearing detection.
Now that the battle had ended, he was very eager to learn the outcome, but it was not convenient for him to inquire at the moment.
âJust wait a little longer; the news should spread soon,â
Han Li exhaled and decided to stay calm. This battle could very well be the beginning of a storm, and it was crucial for him not to expose his strength at this time.
He looked somewhat restless, considering his plans to move to Yuanzhou after leaving Jizhou. With the situation unfolding in Jizhou, was it still wise to relocate there?
Han Li pondered, wondering whether he should choose a different location..
