GA: Chapter 267: The weak provoke the strong, ignorant of the gap—truly foolish.
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Damn, is there something wrong with my ears?"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "His tone, if I didn't know better, I'd think he was Zhang Sanfeng."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "What the hell, if we all swarmed him, Zhang Zhenren couldn't possibly kill us all. Is that something he could really say with his strength?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "The key is, this isn't even the most cowardly thing said with the most stubborn tone. He might actually think he's threatening Zhang Sanfeng? [Sarcastic]"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Whether the previous Zhang Sanfeng could kill them all was a question, but now?"
Holy Lord (Shendu): "Seeking death."
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "Looking at their current state, they can't even stand steadily. Besides a few who can still remain standing, many have even knelt down."
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "Can they really all swarm him?"
He answered this question with a negative.
They don't look like they still have any fighting power.
Himouto Umaru-chan: "Is the Dragon Slaying Saber really that tempting?"
Dongfang Bubai: "What tempts them isn't the Dragon Slaying Saber, but the Martial Arts Supreme."
Dongfang Bubai: "Just like an emperor, the Martial Arts Supreme holds immense allure for every martial artist."
Dongfang Bubai: "Of course, the strong don't need such empty titles; only the weak are greedy."
Dongfang Bubai: "They should be grateful they're on Wudang Mountain and not my Sun Moon Holy Cult, or I'd kill them all."
Uchiha Dance King (Uchiha Madara): "That's exactly how it should be."
Uchiha Madara shared this thought. In the Ninja World, the wars during the Warring States period were far more brutal than this.
Children as young as five or six were already regulars on the battlefield.
In that era, anyone who dared to provoke you was an enemy, unless they were from your own clan!
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "That sounds truly cruel."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "@Holy Guard Left Wing, shouldn't you say something at a time like this?"
Holy Guard Left Wing: "Shrugs."
Holy Guard Left Wing: "What's there to say about internal chaos within a civilization?"
Holy Guard Left Wing: "I can only tell you that if any civilization dares to provoke the Angel Civilization like them, their end will be tragic."
Provoking the Angel Civilization—in the known universe, besides Morgana and Death God Karl, even Lieyang wouldn't dare to do that.
Of course, before the Angel Civilization grew strong, there were indeed such civilizations, but their fate was naturally to become the foundation of angelic honor.
At that time, the order of justice hadn't even emerged yet.
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "The weak provoking the strong, ignorant of the gap—truly foolish."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Hahahaha."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "It's fine when others say it, but when Marquis says this, I can't help but laugh. →"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "The Five Great Sects should be more than just a little different from you, right? You're a God Slayer who slays gods with a mortal body!"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Shouldn't you be marveling at their mindset?"
After all, God Slayers are the true fools. Normal people know that a mortal's strength cannot defeat a god, but God Slayers are the opposite; their instinct for danger seems to have been abandoned.
Then they created miracles.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Pfft."
Ordinary Group Owner: "It seems that's actually true."
The Oldest God Slayer (Voban): "..."
What a load of crap.
Can their situations be compared?
Zhang Sanfeng: "..."
Watching the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Sanfeng's mouth twitched slightly.
If he really killed them, Wudang's reputation would probably be ruined.
Although he didn't care much about that, there wasn't a better way.
Killing them directly was definitely not an option, but a warning was acceptable.
His gaze fell upon Kong Wen, a golden light flashing in his eyes.
"Pfft!"
A terrifying pressure surged directly into his mind. Kong Wen couldn't help but spit out fresh blood, the internal energy in his body seemingly vanishing, and his legs weakened, causing him to directly kneel on the ground.
Shame, anger, and immense fear.
Kong Wen could hardly imagine what level Zhang Sanfeng's strength had reached, to make him kneel with just a glance, without even moving a hand.
Many years had passed; the powerful figures who were Zhang Sanfeng's peers had either died or retired. Although Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts were widely circulated in the martial world, becoming legends one after another, no one had actually fought him, so who knew how high Zhang Sanfeng's true strength was?
They had thought that with the major Sects gathered at Wudang, finding Xie Xun would be easy, and they might even suppress the Wudang Sect's prestige. Unexpectedly, without even moving a hand, Zhang Sanfeng's mere pressure rendered them unable to fight.
A martial arts myth? A land immortal?
Zhang Sanfeng's strength far exceeded their imagination.
Zhang Sanfeng calmly looked at him, then overlooked the disciples and Sect leaders of various sizes gathered in front of the True Martial Great Hall—some desperately circulating their internal energy to resist, some with flushed faces barely holding on, some spitting blood and falling to the ground, and some who had succumbed to the pressure and fainted—and spoke faintly:
"Today is this humble Daoist's hundredth birthday, and I do not wish to stir up more trouble."
"Your grievances with Xie Xun are your own affair. You are not qualified to interrogate this humble Daoist's disciple."
As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng's pressure did not abate. His surging internal energy was as vast and endless as a mighty river, and a soft glow appeared around him, yet it did not bring warmth.
They only felt their bodies being bound and compressed by a strange force, making even breathing a difficult task.
People from the smaller Sects were already on the verge of tears.
If not for being restrained by Zhang Sanfeng's pressure and that force, they would truly want to kneel and kowtow in apology, and immediately retreat from Wudang Mountain.
What was there to hesitate about?
Even with the Dragon Slaying Saber, who would dare call themselves the Martial Arts Supreme while this person was still alive?
They couldn't afford to offend him!!!
The luckiest ones were those who had already fainted, and those who were now fainting, as they no longer had to endure such immense pressure.
If given another chance, they would definitely prepare generous gifts, respectfully present them, and then immediately leave, ensuring Zhang Zhenren wouldn't misunderstand that they came for the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Or, they shouldn't have come at all this time, and instead entrusted their disciples to deliver the gifts.
Rather than being in their current predicament.
Unfortunately, there aren't many 'ifs' in the world.
"Precious Saber Dragon Slayer, Martial Arts Supreme, commands the world, none dare disobey; without the Heaven Reliant Sword, who can contend?"
"Are you truly here for Xie Xun, or for the Dragon Slaying Saber in Xie Xun's hand? Do you really think this humble Daoist can't guess? Why speak so grandiosely?"
"Without strength, merely relying on a saber to become the Martial Arts Supreme—how could there be such a good thing?"
Zhang Sanfeng said lightly.
.
GA: Chapter 268: Supreme Martial Artist? If this old Daoist wanted to be, I would have been long ago.
"There are some things this old Daoist doesn't do, not because I can't, but because I don't want to.
"The number one under heaven, the Supreme Martial Artist, if this old Daoist wanted to be, I would have been long ago."
His voice boomed like thunder, and everyone felt their eardrums vibrate, the fear in their hearts no longer suppressible.
Now, they no longer harbored greed for the Dragon Slaying Saber, or rather, they no longer dared to demand that Zhang Sanfeng hand over Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.
Too powerful!
Zhang Sanfeng's strength was too powerful!
In their eyes, Zhang Sanfeng was almost no different from an immortal; he was simply not someone they, as mortals, could afford to provoke.
"Yuanqiao, see them out."
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Yes, Master."
Song Yuanqiao, who had been somewhat dazed, quickly responded respectfully upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, then walked down from Zhenwu Hall and gestured for the people from various Sects to leave.
They also dared not linger, those who could still walk helped up the fainted disciples and descended the mountain.
Before long, Zhenwu Hall was completely empty.
The time that followed was for the Wudang internal centennial birthday celebration. Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Cuishan, and others were eager to ask Zhang Sanfeng what kind of immortal realm his strength had reached.
Especially Zhang Cuishan, who couldn't contain the shock in his heart.
Although in his heart, his master had always been invincible, imagination was limited. No matter what, the light that burst forth from Zhang Sanfeng's body just now, and the mere imposing aura that made it impossible for the various Sects to resist, with some weaker in internal energy even fainting directly, simply didn't resemble martial arts.
How could martial arts achieve such a level?
Martial arts of this caliber, wouldn't they be no different from immortal techniques?
Zhang Sanfeng merely chuckled, not revealing much, but he did pull out a martial art manual from somewhere.
Pure Yang Limitless Skill!
Pure Yang Limitless Skill is the highest internal cultivation method of the Wudang Sect, cultivating both internal and external aspects, combining movement and stillness, internally refining the five viscera and six bowels, externally refining muscles, bones, and skin, reaching the utmost rigidity and yang.
Compared to Nine Yang Divine Skill, everyone had their own opinions on which was stronger or weaker, but undoubtedly, both were top-tier internal martial arts in this world.
As Wudang disciples, although they couldn't cultivate it due to physical and aptitude reasons, Song Yuanqiao and others were not unfamiliar with this technique. They looked at Zhang Sanfeng, who had brought it out, with some confusion.
"This old Daoist has re-optimized the Pure Yang Limitless Skill. Although there are no physical requirements, the demands on aptitude are even higher."
"However, this old Daoist has also gained much insight from it, creating a simplified version of the Pure Yang Limitless Skill. Although it cannot compare to the optimized Pure Yang Limitless Skill, it is far superior to the original Pure Yang Limitless Skill."
"Wudang Nine Yang Skill is good, but it's still quite lacking.
Zhang Sanfeng said with a slight sigh.
Although Wudang Nine Yang Skill was developed by him using one-third of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and could be considered a first-rate internal cultivation method in the world, it was still too far from the top-tier internal cultivation methods.
Later, he created the Pure Yang Limitless Skill, but it had requirements for both body and aptitude. While its upper limit was high, it also had extremely high cultivation thresholds.
This was also the reason why Song Yuanqiao and the others hadn't cultivated it.
After joining the Chat Group, the dazzling array of items from various worlds also left him awestruck. Whether it was the cultivation systems distinct from martial arts, or the heavenly materials and earthly treasures each possessing miraculous effects, all piqued his curiosity.
He had once considered whether he should embark on a new path, but ultimately, he found that martial arts were what suited him best.
It seemed even the Chat Group believed he was more suited for martial arts, as with just one attempt, he saw the message that Pure Yang Limitless Skill had been successfully enhanced.
The enhanced Pure Yang Limitless Skill not only removed the requirement of being a virgin, but its power was also greater than before.
However, although the virginity requirement was removed, the aptitude requirement became even higher.
Therefore, he selected some exquisite content from the successfully enhanced Pure Yang Limitless Skill and, based on his understanding of martial arts, created a simplified version of the once-enhanced Pure Yang Limitless Skill.
While retaining the feature of not requiring virginity, the aptitude requirement was also not as high.
At least Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Cuishan, and others now had the qualifications to cultivate it.
At the same time, the Chat Group also became lively.
Ordinary Group Owner: "True Person Zhang is still too benevolent. If it were me, I would directly reveal the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Reliant Sword."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Aren't you all trying to snatch them? Don't you want to be the Supreme Martial Artist?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Now's your chance. If the Dragon Slaying Saber can't be found, isn't the Heaven Reliant Sword obvious? The Book of Wumu in the Dragon Slaying Saber might not be for you, but there's the Nine Yin Manual and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms! Besides Shaolin, which Sect wouldn't be greatly attracted to two of the martial arts world's top techniques?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Even Shaolin wouldn't be able to refuse."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Although ostensibly constrained by the false reputation of a 'Righteous Sect,' I can't openly snatch it without a proper excuse, but I can do it in secret, right?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "With a black hood, as long as you have no evidence, even if I use martial arts, I can blame it on others, saying that the Sect's secret manual was leaked long ago."
Su Yunqing had no good feelings for these people anyway.
Guo Xiang's purpose in founding the Emei Sect wasn't to make it bigger and stronger. Wouldn't it be better to just be a stable, righteous Sect?
Are the secrets within the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heaven Reliant Sword really that important to Emei?
Guo Jing and Huang Rong forged them not for you to actually become some Martial Alliance Leader.
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "By the way, besides the Dragon Slaying Saber, can't other weapons split the Heaven Reliant Sword?"
Boil Daigo into Soup (Daigo): "There are quite a few divine weapons from the wuxia world in the store, I see."
Ordinary Group Owner: "It's not that it can't be done, but it might destroy the secret manuals inside."
Ordinary Group Owner: "And while there are many divine weapons, they are from other periods. It's quite rare to find weapons comparable to Heaven Reliant and Dragon Slaying from the same era."
After all, they were weapons forged from Dugu Qiubai's Profound Iron Heavy Sword; the material was still very hard.
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "I suddenly thought of a question."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Why doesn't Zhang Sanfeng get his hands on the Heaven Reliant Sword and directly recycle the secret manuals inside?"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Those two martial arts are worth quite a few points, aren't they?"
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "The recycling function isn't limited by whether it's inside or outside the Heaven Reliant Sword."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "Even if he wants to keep it, the recycling function can humanely copy a version for him to recycle."
Richest Man in America (Tony Stark): "After all, it's tens of thousands of points; it's not cheap."
Regarding cultivation systems, the Chat Group offered two options for recycling: the first was to recycle the book along with it, and the price wouldn't be higher just because of a few pieces of paper; the second was for the Chat Group to directly copy the text for recycling, and the price would be the same.
That's what the Chat Group told him when he recycled the blueprints for the Mark armor.
