Godly Stay-Home Dad

Chapter 977 The Arrival of the Sharpest Broadsword

Nan Feng’s league was the major force against the Deep Valley. If they helped Nan Wu now, Nan Feng would certainly not refuse to let them participate in the battle against the Deep Valley. The Wind Snow Hall was never short of resources anyway. That was something that they all knew.

Hearing this, Su Changxiu was dazed. Two seconds later, he sighed and said, “Let’s wait and see.”

“Nan Wu has already been injured. He can’t stop the full-fledged Zhang Mu. If Zhang Mu only had the less than 40 people on his side, they might still be able to draw a tie. But these secular martial artists who support him are quite capable as well,” the long-haired man said analytically. “I’ve previously observed that many of the leaders of the sects in the surroundings are a bit restless now. When a wall is about to collapse, everybody gives it a push. Thus, I see no reason why we shouldn’t make a move now.”

“That’s Lord Nan Shan over there.”

Su Changxiu glanced at him and said, “In the King’s Domain, those with a two-word name are Giants. Basically, they are all at the peak of the Elixir Realm or almost at the same level as those old freaks in the Kunlun Immortal World. They have incredibly powerful means and countless treasures. If we all join the battle, do you think that Lord Nan Shan will just stand there and watch?”

“But he didn’t show a sign that he wanted to intervene before,” the long-haired man said in confusion.

“You’re still too young and inexperienced.”

Su Changxiu smiled but didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to say much about the matter of vision. What if he was wrong?

People’s minds were hard to read. Although he felt that Lord Nan Shan would not remain aloof about this battle, he was not 100 percent sure.

“Rumble...”

The battle seemed to have gone white-hot. Both sides had suffered casualties, especially Nan Wu’s force. Zhang Mu was not only able to hold Nan Wu up but also to kill one or two of his people now and then.

Helplessly, Nan Wu and the others retreated again and again, and the pressure on them doubled.

The wild battle between such two powerful parties held everyone spellbound.

Mengmeng was also in a daze.

It was the first time she had seen such a magnificent battle.

“It turns out that the real fierce battle is like this. It’s really scary. My heart keeps thumping very fast in my chest.”

“Grandma, Grandpa just spat out blood. Call him to come back!” Mengmeng suddenly tightened her grip on Rong Jiali’s hand.

“He is fine. It’s just a minor injury. Don’t worry, they will win,” Rong Jiali reassured her, though her palms were soaked in sweat as well.

In this kind of battle, only one party could survive. Thus, how could she not be nervous?

“Dahei, Little Hei, go and help,” Mengmeng said.

“Oow, oow, oow.”

Dahei shook its head and pointed at Zhang Mu, as if saying, “That old guy is very powerful. He doesn’t need my help.”

Little Hei, on the other hand, showed no concern for the battle at all. In this situation, it knew that it had to stay by Mengmeng’s side and never move a step from her.

“Kaboom!”

Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Nan Wu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew back dozens of meters before he managed to regain his balance. Although he had been injured, his eyes were even colder.

“Zhang Mu, you’ve really impressed me after you came down to the inferior world.”

“It’s said that one’s strength in the inferior world depends on one’s aptitude and comprehension, well...” Zhang Mu trailed off and then shook his head slightly.

He was implying that Nan Wu was a loser. His aptitude and comprehension were not high enough, so his cultivation was quite weak.

The mocking expression on Zhang Mu’s face made Nan Wu’s expression turn grim. He had lost edge even with the help of the Sky-trapping Mirror and the Dark Music Bow, which made him somewhat unwilling to accept the result.

But he could not afford to lose these two treasures. That was also why he had chosen to be sent flying backward just now. In truth, he could have held on for a while longer. But if he did so, he would be worried that Zhang Mu might suddenly make some unexpected moves.

Privately, he had admitted that Zhang Mu was a very powerful opponent.

“Hahaha.” Nan Wu opened his mouth and cackled. The blood on his teeth could be seen. Still, he remarked with confidence, “You can’t have your way for long. The Deep Valley will soon be wiped out. As for you, just wait a moment. When Nan Qi arrives, your lives will come to an end!”

In the Kunlun Immortal World, Nan Wu had played the role of an assassin, while Nan Qi had always been the Third Prince’s sharpest broadsword. Nan Qi’s combat capability was almost on par with the Third Prince’s. He was much stronger than Zhang Mu. And the key thing was that Nan Qi’s aptitude and comprehension were the best among the Third Prince’s 13 fighters.

“Then let’s see if you can hold on until he comes here,” Zhang Mu said lightly and attacked again.

The people he brought with him were also very fierce. They had forced their enemies to lose ground to them in successive defeats.

But at this time, they were, in truth, extremely shocked. And many thoughts were surfacing in their heads.

“F*ck, is that Zhang Mu’s son? How could he be so fierce?”

“That Dong Chen is also Brother Mu’s younger fellow? His Cultivation Method and secret skills are kind of brilliant. Brave!”

“Brother Mu took us to hurry here because he was afraid that something would happen to the Heavenly Knights Sect. But as it turned out, this bunch of people is very strong. They’ve even managed to fight with Nan Wu for such a long time!”

“...”

Zhang Mu was also astounded by this. At the beginning of the fight, he kept looking in their direction with amazement.

Dong Chen was also a half-step to the Elixir Realm. Zhang Mu was not too surprised to see that because, in the Ancient Mine, one could have many great opportunities to make breakthroughs. That was also how he made his breakthrough.

But Zhang Guangyou, his son with little talent, had also been a half-step to the Elixir Realm. He found it rather unbelievable.

But why had Sect Leader Mu, Sect Leader Jiang, Mu Xue, and the others also reached that level?

Zhang Mu was staggered to see there were so many of them. Although Mu Xue, Jiang Yanlan, and Chen Changqing’s cultivation and strength were relatively inferior, they were really just a half-step to the Elixir Realm. They could definitely make it to the Elixir Realm if they ever went to the Kunlun Immortal World.

Zhao Feng, Ah Hu, Xu Yong, and others were at the Heaven Peak Stage. Zhang Mu was not surprised by that. Because he had never seen them before. But if he knew that they had only cultivated for six years and several months, his jaw would probably drop.

“Rumble...”

Another wave of extremely intense energy fluctuations came.

Zhang Mu had given one of his men a look earlier, motioning for him to block the passage. Therefore, knowing that no one could get close to the passage, they began to besiege the other party at this time.

Gradually, Nan Wu gave up the idea of escaping through the passage.

“Whack!”

Wielding the willow branch in his hand, Zhang Mu conjured a streak of light, which flew out and hit Nan Wu.

“Pfft...”

Nan Wu had just cast six beams of defensive energy. Still, he failed to fend off Zhang Mu’s overwhelming attack.

The willow branch whipped Nan Wu, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and flying more than 100 meters backward. After taking the blow, his breathing became much weaker.

“If we don’t take action now, they will die.”

Many of the major sects in the Kunlun Immortal World could not wait to join the fight.

Would they worry that their actions might offend the Deep Valley at this moment?

Of course not!

The Deep Valley was about to be eliminated. Everyone would give a shove to a falling wall. Tempted by the short-term gains, all of them were inclined to save Nan Wu and his men.

Having fought for this long, the leading elder of the Phaseless Sect was in rather bad shape now. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the elders of other sects that he knew had not made a move yet.

Thus, he roared, “Elder Xu, Elder Wu, are you still gonna stand there and watch?”

Thunderous blasts on the battlefield swept through the entire Kunlun Mountain Range.

On the periphery, those who were at Obvious Strength Stage, Inward Strength Stage, Peak Strength Stage, and even Qi Strength Stage, as well as Grand Masters, had all grown numb to the scene.

In this kind of chaotic battle, many of the movements of the fighters could not be seen clearly. Figures were flying here and there in the sky. All kinds of brilliance shot across the sky like endless thunderbolts, lightening it up as though it was daytime.

“Fine, I’m in!”

Elder Xu took more than 30 people to rise into the air.

He and Zhang Mu looked at each other before he unhurriedly said, “Zhang Mu, stop struggling. You can’t turn the tide on your own.”

“What’s the tide then?” Zhang Mu showed a scornful smile.

“It’s the prevailing trend.” Elder Wu led his team to rise into the air from the side and said, “Don’t you understand that the Deep Valley is bound to be destroyed? And it would be destroyed even without a senior figure’s intervention. As an important member of the Deep Valley, your chance to escape from your doom is slim in the first place. But now, you’re even trying to destroy Nan Wu and others. We didn’t want to interfere at first, but your killing desire is too strong. I can allow you to leave now. It’s the only chance for you to stay alive, otherwise, I will intervene in this matter.”

“Screw you!” Instructor Liu could not hold back his fury any longer. He pointed at Elder Wu’s nose and scolded, “Why didn’t you come out to fight when we were about to lose a moment ago? Why did you jump out now? You are just a clown, a moron! If you want to fight, then fight. My boss will be here in a minute. He’ll make you beg for death!”

“Buzz!”

At this moment, Elder Wu’s mind went all blank.

All he could think about were the swear words Instructor Liu just hurled at him.

“Have I just been berated by a humble ant from the inferior world?”

His rage suddenly flared.

Elder Wu’s face turned green and red by turns. Then he growled, “Kill him!”

“Moron, who are you gonna kill?” Instructor Liu shouted, but then he quickly retreated.

It was no joking matter. He was merely at the Heaven Peak Stage. The best he could do was to fight on the outskirts of the battlefield. But when he encountered someone like Elder Wu, he naturally had to beat a retreat.

At this juncture, Dong Chen, Zhang Mu, and others did not say anything.

It did not matter if Instructor Liu cursed that man or not. Those people were going to intervene anyway.

However, some people still used this as an excuse to join the fight. Nearly 100 people ascended into the air one after another.

“You’ve insulted a cultivator. Only death can serve you right.”

“You people of the Heavenly Knights Sect are too overweening. You think you can look down on the Kunlun Immortal World, but actually, you don’t have the strength to do so.”

“Since you have the guts to be so arrogant, let me see how powerful you’re on earth.”

In an instant, the situation changed again. Zhang Mu’s face was composed as if he had already guessed this, and he led the team to retreat.

The other side gradually gathered their forces together. There were already more than 100 cultivators on their side. And more people were tempted to join them. If the number of their people continued to increase, Zhang Mu and the others might not even have a chance to escape.

In the battle just now, his team had killed more than 20 people on the other side, which had exceeded Zhang Mu’s expectations. At this time, he was ready to pull his force back.

“What a pity!”

Bai Ruoqing also stepped forward. Gazing at Mu Xue with a wistful look on her face, she said, “If you had agreed before, you could stay alive. But now, even my Falling Flowers Sect can’t protect you either. Run, run for your life.”

“No one can escape.”

All of a sudden, a low voice spread throughout the place.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

The faces of the three people behind Zhang Mu paled, and their eyes instantly darted toward the passage.

Soon, the others also looked in that direction.

There weren’t many people coming. Behind that area that was covered in white mist, only a figure slowly appeared.

Just one person?

Many people felt adrenalized.

However, to their amazement, the vibe of the person who came out from the passage was even more imposing than that of all the previous forces.

“Nan Qi!”

Su Changxiu’s eyes stopped blinking.

The greatest heavyweight had finally arrived.

Nan Qi was more than two meters tall, but he was not strong. He looked very thin and frail, as though he was too weak to withstand the wind.

But everyone present knew that in the Kunlun Immortal World, Nan Qi was already a very mighty figure. His talent was excellent. Ordinary people could not compare with him.

And everyone knew that the more talented one was, the greater the strength one could display in the inferior world was.

Even though Zhang Mu was quite strong, he still might not be Nan Qi’s match. Zhang Mu’s backer was the Deep Valley, while Nan Qi’s patron was the Wind Snow Temple, which was a force way more powerful than the former. Thus, even in terms of benefactors, Zhang Mu could not compete with Nan Qi.

It seemed that his struggle was a predestined failure.

“Zhang Mu, long time no see.”

Nan Qi was not as cold as everyone had thought. His face was extremely calm, and he even looked at Zhang Mu with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He said lightly, “His Highness has always admired you. Last time, he deliberately let you get away. Otherwise, you would have long been killed. His Highness regards you as an interesting opponent. Do you want to work with us? This will be your last chance to change your mind. You only have two options—say yes to me or die.”

“Nan Qi.”

Zhang Mu frowned and said, “You also know very well about the hatred between me and Nan Feng. Let’s skip the small talk. He is my mortal enemy. His so-called admiration is just illusory flattering. Among Nan Feng’s 13 fighters, you are his sharpest broadsword. This time, in the inferior world, I will give Nan Feng a broken broadsword as a gift.”
