Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1499 - 74 Retreating in Shock
Chapter 1499 -74 Retreating in Shock
“Senior Han, it’s been a long time.”
The young man, upon hearing Han Yanzi’s voice chill to the bone, couldn’t help but smile slightly, his demeanor calm and amiable.
It was as if he had encountered an old friend in a foreign land, with a hint of surprise and joy.
Not showing even the slightest of the intense emotional turbulence Han Yanzi exhibited to the point of losing composure.
“Master!”
Immediately, the voice of Wang Qingyang, filled with indescribable joy, rang out from behind.
She could never have imagined that her master would appear here, like a god of war descended from the heavens, just as she was on the verge of a crisis.
She had also not expected that her master, when confronting this notorious figure from the Demon Sect, would scarcely lose composure in front of him.
Amidst the surprise was also a thick layer of worry, she spoke in a low voice:
“Master, please be very careful!”
A flicker of surprise also passed through Shen Fu’s eyes.
In his mind, it felt almost like a dream:
“After a hundred years, Brother Shi can now exchange blows with Han Yanzi without falling short?”
He had always thought his own progress over the years was remarkable, and even if he couldn’t compare with Brother Shi, he should have closed much of the gap.
However, the brief exchange Brother Shi had just now with Han Yanzi, who made a brief but impactful appearance, instantly woke him up to reality.
In his eyes, Han Yanzi was always inscrutable, unfathomably deep.
Yet Brother Shi could actually stand against him…
“Truly worthy of being Brother Shi!”
He felt genuinely moved inside.
However, he immediately hid that touch of joy from reuniting with an old friend deep within his heart.
Standing in front of Han Yanzi, he dared not make any rash moves.
At a time like this, revealing himself would serve no benefit.
If he had to reveal anything, it must be at a crucial moment to play a pivotal role.
Years of enduring humiliation and struggle in the Demon Sect had sharpened his immense endurance and ample patience.
He didn’t even exchange glances with Wang Ba; apart from surprise, his eyes showed no other emotion.
It was exactly the reaction expected from a member of the Demon Sect witnessing someone capable of confronting Han Yanzi head-on.
Wang Ba caught this in the corner of his eye and understood instantly.
To see Wang Ba so nonchalant, it was as if the two really were just old friends.
Han Yanzi couldn’t help but remember the position of Yin God that he had long cultivated, only to have it taken away by the other.
Immediately, anger flared uncontrollably in his heart.
An enemy blocking his path could not coexist under the same sky!
Yet at the same time, the gravity and shock in Han Yanzi’s heart were far greater than those of Shen Fu and Wang Qingyang.
“How has this boy become so much stronger since the last time we met?”
Although Wang Ba was slightly weaker in that strike, and it was not Han Yanzi’s full strength either,
He was very clear.
The fact that Wang Ba was slightly inferior was only because his mana was less refined and compared to Han Yanzi’s, in terms of realm, it was not as pure.
The disparity arose from the difference in realms, not from any issue with Wang Ba’s response.
In fact, that move just now was truly brilliant, even deserving the highest praise.
Despite being adversaries, he couldn’t help but admire inwardly.
Whether it was the timing or the control of power,
Wang Ba managed to amplify his strength many times over with what he had.
Even if Han Yanzi had done it himself, he couldn’t possibly have done it better than Wang Ba.
“How exactly did this boy manage that?”
“Such exquisite control and use of mana, even I today, compared to him, dare not claim certain victory… but how many years have I cultivated? And how long has he cultivated?”
“I investigated him, since entering the Wanxiang Sect, it’s only been a little over two hundred years. To achieve such feats within two hundred years… Could he be the reincarnation body of some old monster, having awakened innate wisdom?”
Awakening innate wisdom, counting back tens of thousands of years, was not uncommon, but as the world declined, such instances became rarer, almost unseen nowadays.
After all, most cultivators, after reincarnation, cannot see through the mystery of the womb, nor receive the enlightenment of Great Cultivators, and so their True Spirits become muddled and ultimately sink into oblivion.
Though rarer, if one were lucky with fate, stepping back onto the path of cultivation and eventually awakening innate wisdom was not impossible.
Such individuals, with their past life’s foundation, would cultivate at breathtaking speeds once awakened, provided they had sufficient resources, astounding onlookers.
Considering this, and comparing it to Wang Ba’s circumstances,
Han Yanzi’s heart settled on a few possibilities, and he felt slightly better about it.
He’d encountered numerous talented and brilliant prodigies before, but none had stirred in him such an intense urge to eliminate them immediately as the Deputy Sect Master of the Wanxiang Sect.
If it were a Great Cultivator reincarnated, such abilities would make sense.
These thoughts flashed through his mind briefly.
Coming back to his senses, Han Yanzi reigned in his emotions, eyes narrowing slightly as he snorted coldly:
“Indeed, it has been a long time, but not too late. Today we meet, and I can only lament the delay!”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Before his words fell.
A surging yet silent, utterly soundless, blood claw explosively surged up from underneath Wang Ba without leaking the slightest aura!
Han Yanzi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent.
Though justifiable, a reincarnated old monster with endless potential was even more worrisome to him!
Countless geniuses have perished, but old monsters reborn have almost always been unthinkably stable.
The speed of this blood claw was so sudden that Wang Qingyang, standing behind Wang Ba, couldn’t immediately react.
And by the time she did react, the blood claw had already struck Wang Ba!
“Master!”
Wang Qingyang’s face drastically changed!
‘Whoosh!’
The afterimage of Wang Ba and the White Tiger beneath him only then gradually dissipated from their original spot.
