In an instant.
At the Ming Long Army base, Yuan Qi surged.
Zhang Yang faced eight opponents alone. Even though these eight were elites among the Hun Yuan realm, masters capable of challenging those above their level.
Yet, Zhang Yang remained unfazed. A wisp of True Dragon Qi was released, directly suppressing the Yuan Qi of the eight Ming Long Army members, granting him absolute dominance!
Subsequently.
Zhang Yang threw a punch, a massive fist shadow sweeping with true energy, like an overwhelming tide, sending the eight Ming Long Army members flying.
Bang!
Bang bang!
The eight Ming Long Army members all crashed to the ground, their faces filled with shock.
"How is this possible! Our combined Yuan Qi couldn't match his!"
"His Yuan Qi seems peculiar. Why do I feel mine is being suppressed!"
"Cough, cough, Lu Gong wasn't wrong to lose earlier! Brothers, don't underestimate him, keep attacking!"
Though the Ming Long Army failed in the initial clash, they weren't afraid. Instead, it ignited their fighting spirit!
The eight exchanged glances and instantly dispersed.
Their prolonged training meant they understood each other's thoughts without needing many words.
At this moment.
The eight formed four cardinal points, surrounding Zhang Yang.
"Attack!"
With a loud shout, all eight charged at Zhang Yang again.
"Overestimating yourselves."
Zhang Yang sneered, standing firm like a mountain, meeting their attacks with stillness.
With a boom, the True Dragon Qi within him continuously spread outwards.
He didn't even need to make a move; his formidable True Dragon Qi alone sent the eight flying back once more.
"Are you all this useless?" Zhang Yang sneered.
"You!"
The eight Ming Long Army members were enraged, their faces turning extremely grim.
This was a complete humiliation.
Their combined efforts were still being completely suppressed by Zhang Yang!
And he was only at the mid-stage of the Hun Yuan realm.
If he were in the late stage, they wouldn't even have a chance to struggle.
"You bastard, you're forcing our hand!"
The eight snorted coldly again, reaching out and grabbing the air.
Clang!
Instantly.
Eight weapons of various kinds – sabers, spears, swords, and halberds – appeared in their hands!
"Bring out your weapon, lest you say we're bullying you!" the eight shouted.
"Weapons, you say?" Zhang Yang smiled.
He also wanted to test the combat power of the stone tablet he obtained from the treasury!
The next moment.
Zhang Yang took out the stone tablet from his pocket. Under the surge of true energy, the stone tablet instantly enlarged.
The strange characters on it seemed to come alive, constantly weaving and writhing!
"Come on!"
Zhang Yang shouted.
This time, he didn't use True Dragon Qi. He gripped the stone tablet with both hands and charged at the eight.
The eight Ming Long Army members looked astonished, not expecting Zhang Yang's weapon to be so peculiar.
"Heh, a broken stone can be a weapon now?"
"Hahaha, watch me shatter this broken stone with my spear!"
"Brothers, our chance to turn the tables has arrived, beat him soundly!"
"..."
The faces of the eight Ming Long Army members were filled with mockery, looking down on the stone tablet in Zhang Yang's hands.
Zhang Yang flashed a wicked smile and said nothing more.
He raised the stone tablet with both hands and smashed it directly towards them!
Boom!
Bang!
Clang!
Bang!
Zhang Yang swung the stone tablet eight times consecutively.
The mysterious stone tablet instantly shattered the weapons of the eight Ming Long Army members!
"That's it?"
Zhang Yang looked at the undamaged stone tablet and retorted mockingly.
"I!"
Seeing their divine weapons broken into two pieces, the Ming Long Army members' faces turned ashen, looking as if they had eaten something foul.
They stared at the stone tablet, their mouths twitching silently.
This outcome was simply unacceptable!
Why!
Why could a mere broken stone shatter the divine weapons they had carefully selected from the treasury on the spot!
"Do you have any other tricks?" Zhang Yang asked.
The eight Ming Long Army members fell silent, not uttering a word.
"None? Then it's my turn!" A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Yang's face.
If others don't offend me, I won't offend them!
Then.
Zhang Yang, holding the stone tablet, began smashing at the eight.
The immense impact force made the eight Ming Long Army members dare not resist head-on, only able to desperately dodge.
But!
In terms of speed, how could they be faster than Zhang Yang.
In no time, they were all defeated by Zhang Yang.
One by one, they lay on the ground, their breaths weak.
Including Lu Gong from earlier, all nine Ming Long Army members were defeated by Zhang Yang alone.
Zhang Yang pulled over a chair, sat in front of them, and smiled.
"May I ask, whose territory is this now?"
"You... don't get cocky. If we hadn't just finished training and weren't at full strength, how could you possibly be our opponent!"
"Exactly, it's not a good thing for those troublemakers in the Ming Long Army to learn a lesson. Moreover, if it weren't for your stone tablet weapon being so powerful, do you think you could have beaten us?"
The Ming Long Army members looked unconvinced, naturally unwilling to admit defeat.
"Heh, your whole body is dead except for your mouth?" Zhang Yang sneered.
"Fine, if you're not convinced, we'll fight again when your injuries heal! But for now, there's something you must do for me first!"
He paused.
Zhang Yang pointed at the mess on the ground and said.
"Clean this place up. If I wake up and still see it this messy, you'll be in for a lot of trouble!"
Having said that.
Zhang Yang turned and went back inside to rest.
The nine Ming Long Army members looked at each other, then let out unwilling roars!
They, these people, had been defeated by someone of a lower realm!
No!
They would definitely seek revenge on Zhang Yang once their injuries healed!
After resting for a while.
The nine Ming Long Army members chose to face reality.
Looking at the mess all over the ground, they could only grit their teeth and clean it up.
After all, their injuries wouldn't heal in a day or two.
What if Zhang Yang saw no one cleaning tomorrow and decided to deal with them again, they would be beaten once more.
...
What happened at the Ming Long Army base quickly reached the ears of Zhu Zhi and others.
They were greatly shocked upon learning that Zhang Yang had single-handedly defeated the Ming Long Army.
"Hahaha, this Zhang Tang has truly opened my eyes. It seems I've found a treasure this time," Zhu Zhi laughed.
"Indeed, it's not a bad thing to teach those unruly members of the Ming Long Army a lesson," Hu Han Tian chimed in with a smile.
"I had high hopes for Zhang Tang from the start. This kid is a true dragon, and he hasn't disappointed me," Hong Tao also praised.
The others also expressed their shock and continuously lauded Zhang Yang.
Only Zhu Tai remained the most composed, saying.
"Everyone knows the strength of the Ming Long Army members, and Zhang Tang's own realm is lower than theirs. How exactly did he win?"
"This kind of fighting against superior numbers and challenging higher realms is simply not something someone whose talent has been altered should be able to do. Don't you find it a bit strange?"
