Chapter 472 - 470: 1 Devastating Strike

Chapter 472: Chapter 470: 1 Devastating Strike

Master Wandering Dragon’s words hadn’t even fully faded,

but by now,

Wan Zunli’s figure in front had already vanished.

He had fled!

The very instant Master Wandering Dragon made his move, he turned and ran!

He had no choice.

It had only been a few years since he’d advanced to the Divine Travel Realm.

What gave him the right to face Master Wandering Dragon, one of the Seven Immortal Sect Sons of the Yuqing Immortal Sect, a legendary figure whose Cultivation was at the Divine Travel Peak Realm, and who was famous for being able to single-handedly fight two Demon Cultivators of the same Realm, the White Bone Old Demon and the Seven Extremes Old Demon, to a standstill?!

The moment he recognized Master Wandering Dragon,

Wan Zunli turned and fled without the slightest hesitation!

Even as he escaped, he couldn’t help but curse furiously in his mind.

’Is that Master Wandering Dragon insane?!’

’You’re a great master at the Divine Travel Peak Realm,’

’someone who might even break through to the legendary Profound Pill Realm,’

’yet instead of peacefully secluding yourself in your manor for Cultivation to prepare for your breakthrough,’

’you’re secretly following that little brat around to protect him?’

’What kind of madness is this?!’

’Don’t tell me that brat Shen Changchuan is your illegitimate son or something?!’

It was no wonder Wan Zunli was on the verge of a breakdown, cursing like this.

It was simply because,

the current situation was just too infuriating!

He hadn’t just arrived when Shen Changchuan came looking for treasure.

Rather, he had been there ever since Shen Changchuan, Gu Xuanqing, and the other Disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, along with the allied Cultivators they had invited, left Broken Soul City. He had known about their movements and had been secretly tailing them.

Before now,

he had been observing from the shadows.

He had even witnessed Shen Changchuan’s incredible display of power: killing the Mu Lan Brothers, turning the tide of battle, and finally using a Jade Talisman to execute Patriarch Li Changzun of the Li Family!

But Wan Zunli had never made a move.

He simply watched from the sidelines.

He had his reasons for this.

Although he wanted to take Shen Changchuan’s head to avenge the Corpse Refining Sect’s elites who had been wiped out by him,

and also use it to earn a favor from the two Old Demons who stood at the pinnacle of the Nanyue Territory,

at the same time,

he didn’t want to overly offend the Righteous Alliance.

If he were to kill Shen Changchuan in front of everyone,

it would almost certainly provoke the enmity of his master, Master Wandering Dragon, and bring a great disaster upon the Corpse Refining Sect...

After all,

even the White Bone Old Demon and the Seven Extremes Old Demon, who stood at the peak of the Nanyue Territory,

could only manage a draw against him when they joined forces.

Wan Zunli wasn’t sure

what the consequences would be if he, a senior, were to ambush and kill the man’s disciple!

Therefore,

he was waiting for an opportunity,

waiting for Shen Changchuan to be on his way back, or acting alone, so he could strike from the shadows!

It didn’t take long.

The opportunity presented itself!

When Shen Changchuan came treasure-hunting by himself,

Wan Zunli struck without the slightest hesitation!

Worried that Shen Changchuan might pull out another life-saving trick—like the Jade Talismans he used to kill the Li Clan Leader—

Wan Zunli held almost nothing back.

Even though it was a sneak attack,

he still used his full power in that one move, intending to kill Shen Changchuan on the spot!

However,

he never, ever would have imagined

that Master Wandering Dragon would suddenly appear!

You have to understand,

to be absolutely sure,

while Shen Changchuan was digging for the underground Jade Slip, he had secretly set up a perimeter of defensive wards in the surrounding space.

Anyone who tried to approach

would have certainly alerted him.

But Master Wandering Dragon had appeared just like that, without a sound!

He hadn’t even triggered the surrounding Realm Array, simply materializing beside Shen Changchuan!

Did Master Wandering Dragon just happen to be passing by,

and only intervened when he saw that brat Shen Changchuan was in danger?

Wan Zunli didn’t believe in such coincidences.

Most likely,

Master Wandering Dragon had been hiding in the background all along, secretly protecting his young disciple’s life!

Moreover,

his own presence

had probably been discovered by Master Wandering Dragon long ago!

And the reason the man hadn’t killed him on sight

was probably because he intended to use him as a whetstone, a way to temper his young disciple and teach him a lesson!

It had to be said,

in just a flash,

Wan Zunli had already figured out most of the situation.

And he was, in fact, mostly correct.

But,

that didn’t help him in the slightest.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Master Wandering Dragon said calmly.

He didn’t waste any more words.

He raised a hand and clenched it into a fist.

He threw a punch into the space before him.

This punch,

seemed utterly ordinary, with no miraculous power to it.

So much so that from Shen Changchuan’s perspective,

it looked as if a normal person had simply swung a fist through the air.

Not even the slightest bit of power seemed to leak out.

And yet,

at that very moment,

a dazzling light, like a giant Fireball, suddenly erupted from the earth miles away!

A mushroom cloud thousands of feet high billowed into the sky!

It wasn’t until more than ten breaths later that a deafening roar reached them from the direction of the mushroom cloud. The ground shook, and an aura so powerful it made space itself tremble spread out!

"HISS!"

Watching wide-eyed as the landscape miles away was pierced by a giant fist, creating a chasm like an abyssal fissure that stretched for several miles, Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath!

To unleash such terrifying Divine Skill from miles away!

Especially since,

he had seen the moment Master Wandering Dragon attacked with his own two eyes.

The way he moved was so ordinary, so devoid of any flashy displays.

If he hadn’t seen it himself,

Shen Changchuan would never have believed that such a seemingly light blow could contain such terrifying power!

"Your Divine Skill is incredible, Master!"

Shen Changchuan cupped his fists in a salute to his master, Master Wandering Dragon,

and thanked him with sincere gratitude.

"Your disciple thanks you for saving my life, Master!"

If Master Wandering Dragon hadn’t intervened at that critical moment, he would be deader than dead by now!

A being at the Divine Travel Realm was not someone he could handle at his current level!

Even if he had a sudden burst of power in the heat of the moment,

it would have been useless!

The gap between their Realms was simply too vast.

"You are far too proud and arrogant. I hope you’ve finally learned your lesson now, haven’t you?"

Master Wandering Dragon looked at Shen Changchuan, a flicker of a complex emotion passing through the depths of his eyes.

But he continued speaking,

offering a word of advice:

"Right now, on the Demonic Alliance’s bounty list for the Nanyue Territory, you are number one among those in the Soul Emergence Realm! The price on your head is even comparable to some cultivators in the Early Stage of the Divine Travel Realm!"

"With such a high reward, there will always be brave men tempted by the prize!"

"Therefore, from now on, you must never let anyone track your movements, and you must not travel alone so carelessly."

"Who knows how many Demon Cultivators are out there right now, waiting to take your head and claim that bounty!"
