In the pitch-black rainy night, the young man stood proudly in front of the villa, speaking slowly. His voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of Nissen, Jack, and Ye Feng like thunder from the sky.
Under the cover of night, Nissen and Jack both stared at Jiang Wuming as if they had seen a ghost.
A Nine-star Martial Artist facing a joint hunt by two Two-star War God overlords, instead of being terrified, considered them prey?!
Behind Jiang Wuming, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks, stunned.
Where there is abnormality, there is a demon.
Jiang Wuming was too calm!
Ye Feng decided to see what Jiang Wuming’s trump card was!
"You… who did you say was prey? Are you overacting, damn it? Even now, you're still acting?"
After a moment of shock, Jack's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Wuming with a mixture of shock and anger.
The shock came from his inability to comprehend how much mental fortitude Jiang Wuming possessed to calmly utter such earth-shattering words.
The anger stemmed from Jiang Wuming, a mere Nine-star Martial Artist, treating him and Nissen as prey – this was an insult to them!
"Kid, if the Hall Master of the Zhanlong Hall were truly protecting you from the shadows, he would have revealed himself long ago," Nissen said with a cold smile after his surprise. "Besides, even if he appeared, he would die in our hands just like you!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Wuming also smiled.
After the smile, a terrifying aura erupted from Jiang Wuming like a volcanic eruption!
At this moment, he unleashed his aura without reservation!
Simultaneously, his blood boiled, his true qi circulated wildly, and his momentum seemed endless, constantly climbing!
He no longer concealed his strength!
"Uh…" Nissen, Jack, and even Ye Feng were dumbfounded as they felt the change in Jiang Wuming's aura.
Because the aura Jiang Wuming exuded was that of a One-star War God, and it was more terrifying than any One-star War God they had ever encountered!
This included the invincible existence among One-star War Gods – the Tenth Stage!
Yet, according to the intelligence they possessed, Jiang Wuming was only a Nine-star Martial Artist.
Moreover, Jiang Wuming had only recently broken through to the Nine-star Martial Artist realm!
By normal logic, it was impossible for Jiang Wuming to break through to the War God realm in such a short period, let alone be a Tenth-stage One-star War God!
"This… how is this possible?!" Behind Jiang Wuming, Ye Feng was once again petrified.
At this moment, he had forgotten his precarious situation, no longer thinking about how to escape. Instead, he stared blankly at Jiang Wuming's proud figure, his mind completely consumed by this thought.
All along, he had considered himself one of the most powerful martial arts geniuses in Long Country and even the global martial arts world!
He had never taken Dragon Gate's young master Gu Tianlong, Kunlun's young master Ye Kunlun, or Buddhism Sect's successor Yuan He, nor the legendary martial arts geniuses from abroad, seriously!
This was because he had cultivated to the Tenth Stage of the Nine-star Martial Artist realm!
He was confident that once he broke through to the One-star War God realm, he could sweep across all global martial arts geniuses!
And now, Jiang Wuming, only twenty years old, had unleashed an aura no weaker than a Tenth-stage One-star War God, perhaps even stronger!
The impact this had on his psyche far surpassed that on Nissen and Jack!
At this moment, he felt his pride and arrogance as the strongest among the younger generation in the military being invisibly crushed into dust!
He, this so-called martial arts genius, was simply a joke in front of Jiang Wuming!
Furthermore, Jiang Wuming's martial arts realm skyrocketing like a rocket in such a short time had overturned his understanding of martial arts!
"How could you break through to One-star War God? And your aura is more terrifying than the Tenth-stage One-star War God I've seen?" Jack shrieked as Ye Feng stood dumbfounded.
If he hadn't genuinely felt the change in Jiang Wuming's aura, he would have thought he was hallucinating!
This was simply unbelievable!
"You… you've been hiding your strength!" Nissen also spoke. Amidst his shock, he retained a sliver of rationality – no one could break through from the Nine-star Martial Artist realm to the War God realm, let alone the Tenth Stage of the One-star War God realm, in just a few months!
The only explanation was that Jiang Wuming had been hiding his strength all along!
"Hiding… hiding strength?" Hearing Nissen's words, Jack jolted awake and immediately agreed with the speculation. "Yes, he used a special secret method to conceal his strength! That's why he could successively kill One-star War Gods, and even fight three One-star War God assassins to the death earlier!"
"You… you are the Hall Master of the Zhanlong Hall, aren't you?!" Nissen spoke again, his pupils suddenly widening.
After deducing that Jiang Wuming had hidden his strength, he recalled that the Hall Master of the Zhanlong Hall had come to Long Country for a life-and-death battle with Liu Xin for Jiang Wuming, and had also massacred the headquarters of the Triad. He made a bold guess!
"Ve… very possible!!" Jack screamed again. He also believed that everything the Hall Master of the Zhanlong Hall had done for Jiang Wuming was too strange, and this deduction could perfectly explain it!
"You talk too much nonsense." Jiang Wuming spoke expressionlessly, his aura having reached its peak.
In terms of aura alone, he had surpassed the Tenth Stage, the invincible existence of the One-star War God realm!
"Hall Master of the Zhanlong Hall, the Ghost-faced War God, you are truly good at hiding, deceiving almost the entire world!" Hearing Jiang Wuming's words, Nissen took a deep breath and then sneered.
"If I'm not mistaken, you've hidden your identity and strength so carefully because you're worried about revenge from your father's enemies! A twenty-year-old Tenth-stage One-star War God! This is a myth that has never appeared in history! However, today, this myth will be shattered!!"
"Heh… I didn't expect us to be able to end such an unbelievable myth in the global martial arts world this time!" Hearing Nissen's words, Jack also recovered from his shock, replaced by excitement. He looked at Nissen and asked, "You are a Tenth-stage Two-star War God, and he is a Tenth-stage One-star War God. That's a whole realm difference. Will you attack alone, or will we join forces?"
"His mental power is very strong, and he's not easy to deal with. Let's attack together!" Nissen did not underestimate his opponent and remained cautious. Although he was invincible among Two-star War Gods with his strength, Jiang Wuming was ranked first on the global Two-star War God list and possessed terrifying mental power! He was not fully confident of winning if he fought Jiang Wuming alone. Besides, caution was the sailing ship's creed, and it was his life motto. In the past years, every time he undertook a mission, regardless of the target's strength, he would go all out to ensure foolproof success!
Whoosh!
Immediately, before Nissen and Jack could make a move, Ye Feng's figure flickered and he swept away into the distance.
Although Jiang Wuming's true strength and identity had brought Ye Feng unparalleled shock, and Jiang Wuming had told Ye Feng before that he would not die, when he learned that Nissen was a Tenth-stage Two-star War God and was about to join forces with Jack, he believed that the probability of Jiang Wuming being killed was even greater. Therefore, he chose to flee into the distance again!
Moreover, he believed this was his best opportunity to escape!
Seeing this, neither Nissen nor Jack stopped Ye Feng; instead, they focused all their attention on Jiang Wuming.
"Short-sighted." At the same time, by the window on the second floor of the villa, the girl watched Ye Feng's receding figure and softly uttered four words before turning her gaze to Jiang Wuming, her eyes filled with excitement.
Because tonight, she would uncover a mystery in her heart.
An eleventh-stage One-star War God, possessing mental power comparable to a One-star War God. The youngest and most powerful One-star War God in the history of the global martial arts world, how terrifying would he be if he unleashed his full combat power?!
