Chapter 396 The Position of Honorary Elder
"Blood-Guiding Sword!"
With a deafening roar, Zheng Qian swung his longsword violently. Instantly, a massive surge of blood energy erupted from the ground, like an enraged dragon soaring into the sky. This blood energy contained boundless fighting spirit and indomitable will, as if it would dye the entire world crimson.
The blood-red aura traced a dazzling path through the air, mercilessly slicing through the raging inferno of the Fierce Guard Army. The inferno seemed to be torn apart in two by an invisible force, flames scattering and heat waves rolling in. The power of this sword strike stunned everyone present.
Zheng Qian's figure left a trail of illusory afterimages on the ground; his speed surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could perceive. Like a ghost, he traversed the sea of fire and charged directly into the heart of the Fierce Guard Army.
The sword flashed, blood splattered, each strike precisely aimed at the enemy's vitals, and no one could withstand its sharpness.
At this moment, Zheng Qian seemed to have transformed into the Grim Reaper on the battlefield; no one could withstand a single blow from his sword.
"Humans, die." The leopard flew into the sky on flames, its blood-red maw wide open, a ball of purple flame rolling and burning inside, emitting an aura of destruction.
Zheng Qian smashed the head of a Flaming Leopard with a single palm strike, then grabbed the corpse and hurled it at the leopard in mid-air.
"Swallow your fire."
Whoosh... Bang... The corpse of the Flame Leopard slammed into the leopard's mouth, and purple flames exploded instantly, with balls of fire raining down from the sky.
Lie Bao was extremely powerful, a monstrous talent even a level above Lie Ha. In the explosion just now, his tongue was smashed off, and the explosion also left him with very few fangs.
"Roar..." The leopard roared to the sky, but without its tongue and teeth, its voice lost some of its majesty and gained only boundless rage.
"What are you yelling about? It's neither a leopard nor a lion, just a sick cat without teeth," Zheng Qian mocked. He knew that this Fierce Leopard was very powerful, and he had to provoke it to come down and fight.
Zheng Qian wouldn't jump up, much less fly into the sky. Three hundred Yu people drawing their bows and shooting arrows was no joke; one wrong move and he'd be riddled with holes.
"…………" Lie Bao cursed loudly, but unfortunately, having lost his tongue, he couldn't utter a single note.
With another roar, the leopard swooped down, its body engulfed in raging purple flames, like a giant purple fireball falling from the sky, filled with boundless rage, determined to devour Zheng Qian.
"Haha, well done!" Zheng Qian laughed. The leopard's combat strength was extraordinary. As long as he came down, Zheng Qian had many ways to kill him.
Not far away, Liu Jian watched incredulously as Zheng Qian went on a killing spree, the three thousand elite Flame Leopard Clan soldiers seemingly reduced to mere chickens.
Especially the powerful Fierce Leopard, a powerful genius of the Zen Demon Realm, equivalent to the Liquid Aperture Realm of the human race, whose spiritual energy has been transformed into spiritual power, and whose combat power is already qualitatively different from that of those in the Dragon Shaping Realm. Unexpectedly, it was suppressed by Zheng Qian.
"No, I want to go to the battlefield too, and fight alongside Zheng Qian!" Lei Ruichen roared. His right shoulder had been pierced by a bullet, but it had already been bandaged. He was shouting that he wanted to go to the battlefield and continue fighting.
"Let's go, let's charge in together and lend Zheng Qian a hand!" Ma Haoli roared as well. They were all infected by Zheng Qian's fighting spirit, their blood boiling, wanting to fight alongside Zheng Qian.
"You two should just focus on recovering from your injuries. If you charge into the Fierce Guard Army, you won't have a chance to fight back." Zhao Mingxiu was telling the truth. The two of them were already seriously injured, and they could only exert three-tenths of their combat power. Were they just going to their deaths?
Lei Ruichen and Ma Haoli blushed. They had come out of the barrier full of confidence and didn't take Zheng Qian seriously at all, thinking that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly surpass the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian is so monstrous, invincible among those of the same realm. Perhaps it is someone like Zheng Qian.
Lieha is a Zen Demon Realm cultivator, a whole realm higher than the Shaping Dragon Realm. The two of them defeated Lieha and Feng Lie many times, but when they rushed to the front of the Liewei Legion, they were engulfed by the sea of fire and had to retreat.
At the mountaintop, Xiao Zhi saw Zheng Qian split the sea of fire in two with a single sword strike, and he was truly unsettled; his voice even trembled slightly.
"Old Diao, what are your plans for Zheng Qian's future cultivation path?"
Yun Youzi shook his head, his voice calm: "There is no plan. He can cultivate however he wants. I will not interfere with anything he does."
“You can’t do it this way. Jade must be carved to become a gem. Zheng Qian is a rare treasure. If he is properly sculpted, his future achievements will be limitless.” Xiao Zhi was anxious. He hadn’t seen Yun Youzi for three hundred years. The once spirited Yun Youzi had now become detached from worldly affairs, and he was finding it hard to get used to it.
Yun Youzi was not in a hurry at all. He was invincible in his realm and had defeated the demon race so badly that they dared not leave the fortress. This was because he had comprehended the "Spatial Vibration" technique, so he had more cultivation experience than anyone else.
Any invincible cultivation technique will no longer be invincible if practiced by someone else. People are different, and each person must forge their own path of cultivation and create their own unique technique if they wish to be invincible at the same level.
Those prodigies who learn advanced techniques often get stuck at a bottleneck for years, decades, or even centuries because they haven't forged their own path. When a inherited technique conflicts with one's own cultivation path, this conflict must be resolved to make further progress. If the conflict between the inherited technique and one's own cultivation path cannot be resolved, then this bottleneck will persist, and cultivation will be unable to advance.
Yun Youzi understood this principle, but Xiao Zhi did not. Even if Yun Youzi explained it to Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi still wouldn't understand.
Ordinary people don't understand the thoughts of geniuses, geniuses don't understand the thoughts of elite geniuses, elite geniuses don't understand the thoughts of veteran geniuses, veteran geniuses look up to the thoughts of prodigies, and prodigies look up to the thoughts of top prodigies.
A prodigy will not explain to a genius, because in the eyes of a prodigy, a genius is an ignorant fool.
Yun Youzi didn't answer Xiao Zhi, who became anxious and said, "Old Diao, you've left the position of Honorary Elder vacant for three hundred years. Now that you're back, are you going to take up the post?"
Yun Youzi smiled calmly: "Not on duty."
“Alright.” Xiao Zhi said decisively, “It’s okay if you don’t take the duty. You’re my older brother, so I won’t force you. But the sins of the father must be visited upon the son. Zheng Qian isn’t your son, but he is your disciple, no different from your son. If you don’t take the duty, Zheng Qian will take it. I will now appoint Zheng Qian as an honorary elder to inherit your position.”
Yun Youzi withdrew his gaze from Zheng Qian and said calmly, "Three hundred years have passed, when will you change your temper?"
Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat. He was somewhat afraid, but for Zheng Qian's sake, he still stubbornly said, "It can't be changed. Under my hot temper, the Strategic Alliance has produced many geniuses and is thriving in the Wind Rift. Give me another hundred years, and I will be able to catch up with the Radiant Legion."
Yun Youzi shook his head: "You're already this excited because Zheng Qian only fought his way to the Liewei Army. If he keeps fighting, what position will you give him?"
Should we continue fighting?
Xiao Zhi stared at Yun Youzi, asking uncertainly, "You're not saying he went to block the door alone, are you?"
