Chapter 2143 - 2143: Tang Zhen

"Swish!"

The figure came menacingly, changing the color of the heavens and earth, and Jian Jia's expression instantly tensed.

When it got closer, Tang Haiyao saw who it was and was momentarily shocked, then couldn't hide her elation.

"Tang Zhen?!"

Jian Jia's face changed slightly.

With his strength, there were few people in Bahu Forest he feared.

But, Tang Zhen was definitely one of them.

Tang Zhen, Commander of the ordinary corps in Qian State Prefecture, overseeing ten thousand troops.

In Qian State Prefecture, anyone who could be Commander had at least the cultivation of a 'Dao King.'

Tang Zhen was even a 'two-star Dao King.'

One realm stronger than Jian Jia.

Tang Zhen also saw Jian Jia, as well as Tang Haiyao.

The moment he saw Tang Haiyao unhurt, Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was originally heading to Orange Frog Lake to investigate and happened upon the fierce battle between Jian Jia and Zhang Nanfeng.

Such an earth-shattering battle naturally alerted Tang Zhen.

Upon seeing such terrifying movement, Tang Zhen knew the matter was significant, promptly rushing over, only to coincidentally find Tang Haiyao also there.

As for Qin Chen and the other two, although he didn't recognize them, seeing Tang Haiyao unthreatened, he deduced they were not from Zen Heart Dragon Palace.

As for why Tang Haiyao was with Jian Jia, Tang Zhen naturally didn't know.

Besides, from Jian Jia's demeanor, it seemed he also didn't know Tang Haiyao was his daughter.

"What shady dealings are you Zen Heart Dragon Palace up to with the Colorful Frog Clan?"

Tang Zhen silently approached Tang Haiyao to prevent Jian Jia from taking her hostage, while coldly speaking to Jian Jia.

Having battled the Demon Clan and various evildoers disrupting Qian State's order for years, Tang Zhen exuded an imposing aura.

"It seems Commander Tang might know something."

Qin Chen thought to himself, if Tang Zhen didn't know anything, he wouldn't speak like he did upon seeing Jian Jia.

"That's none of Commander Tang's business."

Jian Jia glanced at Qin Chen and the others behind Tang Zhen, then looked away.

Although he intended to cultivate Qin Chen and the others, with Tang Zhen's arrival, he naturally wouldn't pursue it further.

"Farewell, Commander Tang."

Jian Jia didn't linger, turning and fleeing. Though Zhang Nanfeng said the Orange Dao Heart was in Tang Zhen's possession, Tang Zhen's strength wasn't something he could handle.

Under such circumstances, he feigned ignorance, superficially stirring suspicions.

"Since we meet, don't leave."

Tang Zhen spoke coldly, emanating a murderous aura.

Jian Jia's hands were stained with blood; even for Tang Zhen, killing Jian Jia wasn't easy.

But now, with Jian Jia alone, at worst, Tang Zhen wouldn't let him leave alive.

Ideally, he would disable Jian Jia and extract Zen Heart Dragon Palace's internal secrets from him.

"Does Commander Tang intend to detain me today?"

Jian Jia's expression turned icy; while not Tang Zhen's match, he wouldn't surrender if Tang Zhen tried to detain him.

"Come back with me to the military base to discuss."

Tang Zhen swiftly acted, shooting out like an arrow toward Jian Jia.

A terrifying aura engulfed the Firmament, instilling dread in all.

"Commander Tang is gracious, no rush to go today."

Jian Jia turned and struck a fierce palm toward Tang Zhen, the wind cutting through the air, shattering the sky.

"Today."

Tang Zhen suddenly erupted with a shocking aura, akin to a dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

This power effortlessly shredded Jian Jia's palm, while Tang Zhen extended his hand to seize Jian Jia.

"Senior Sister Tang, your father is formidable."

Xuu Qian exclaimed in shock.

This mere burst of power easily tore through Jian Jia's attack, demonstrating the gap between them.

Qin Chen remarked, "Commander Tang is a two-star Dao King, while Jian Jia is just a one-star Dao King. Even at the Tribulation Transformation Realm, a realm gap is like a chasm; Jian Jia cannot be the opponent."

As Tang Zhen reached out toward Jian Jia, his overwhelming momentum seemed even to capture the entire Sky Dome.

Jian Jia's expression changed, gathering an immense force in his fist, the void trembling madly: "Hunyuan Heavenly Extreme Fist!"

He unleashed the Daoist Method that had previously severely injured Zhang Nanfeng.

"This punch is stronger than when confronting Zhang Nanfeng."

Qin Chen's expression tensed.

It seems Jian Jia was holding back against Zhang Nanfeng earlier.

Facing Tang Zhen now, Jian Jia dared not hold back even a little.

Xuu Qian worriedly asked, "Can Commander Tang withstand this punch?"

Though Qin Chen mentioned a strength gap, the power of the Daoist Method is not to be underestimated; one could still get hurt, right?

"If Daoist Methods alone could kill my father, he would be a fake Commander." Tang Haiyao stated.

Tang Zhen coldly snorted, his aura rising again like a tempest as he met fist with fist.

"Bang!"

The sky erupted with a tremendous sound.

The Hunyuan Heavenly Extreme Fist was instantly torn apart in mid-air.

No matter the Daoist Method.

Absolute strength conquers all.

Though Tang Zhen's punch was ordinary, his strength surpassed Jian Jia, releasing even greater power than the Hunyuan Heavenly Extreme Fist.

Tang Zhen's fist struck Jian Jia's body.

Jian Jia was hit hard.

Like a kite with a broken string, drifting back.

"So powerful."

Xuu Qian was even more shocked.

When Tang Zhen's punch clashed with Jian Jia's earlier, his heart trembled slightly.

"Someday, you will be this strong too."

Qin Chen smiled, his eyes full of determination. This is just Dao King level; above are even stronger figures; these are his goals.

Tang Zhen swiftly appeared at Jian Jia's side, terrifying power gathering in his palm, seemingly intending to disable Jian Jia's cultivation.

Jian Jia's expression drastically changed.

Honestly, he knew Tang Zhen was strong.

But he didn't expect Tang Zhen to be this formidable.

Even with his best efforts, he was no match!

"Commander Tang, stop, let's discuss!"

Jian Jia hurriedly called out.

If Tang Zhen's palm fell, he'd be finished.

He cultivated up to now, even joining Zen Heart Dragon Palace; if disabled in one stroke, he would surely collapse.

Tang Zhen's hand merely lightly grasped, and the aura that terrified Jian Jia suddenly vanished.

Heaven and earth returned to peace.

If not for the turbulent void, one might think nothing had happened.

Tang Zhen coldly stared at Jian Jia: "If you voluntarily reveal all Zen Heart Dragon Palace's internal secrets you know, there's still room for discussion."

"Otherwise, crippling your cultivation is lenient."
