Chapter 333: Chapter 332: The Madman Returns, Shocking the World
After dropping a threatening remark, Zhang Wenfeng left.
Wang Chengcuo, Luo Yong, and others didn’t dare to linger either, and they followed Zhang Wenfeng as he departed.
If they had mustered the courage to fight with all their might, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang would not have been able to hold out for long before succumbing to exhaustion and defeat, at which point Zhang Wenfeng would have had no rivals.
With Luo Yong, Wang Chengcuo, and the elders and retainers of the Martial Alliance joining forces, the Qin residence was bound to undergo a bloodbath today, and the strength of the Qin Family would have to abandon Imperial City and seek a new path.
However, Zhang Wenfeng, intimidated by the formidable combat power displayed by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang and further hampered by his own injuries and a realm breakthrough that wasn’t stable, feared that Zhang Yunlong had fallen into the hands of the Qin Family, so he hesitated to act recklessly.
Of course, if Zhang Wenfeng still had the invincible presence of before, he naturally would have forcefully suppressed everyone in the compound and then slowly interrogated them about the whereabouts of his grandson, Zhang Yunlong. Unfortunately, he had calculated everything but failed to foresee the surprisingly robust combat effectiveness of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang working together, which even he, having stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, could not suppress.
As Zhang Wenfeng and his party retreated, Qin Huai’an, Zhu Tianshou, Xu Yunshan, Xu Xiao, and Xu Liangyou among others heaved a deep sigh of relief within their hearts.
They never imagined that Zhang Wenfeng had already broken through to the Divine Travel Realm, becoming the top martial artist of the current era; the thought of his previously unbeatable power made them shudder.
Amidst their shock, they turned their gaze toward Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
A look of satisfaction and joy overflowed on Qin Huai’an’s face.
Zhu Tianshou and the three members of the Xu Family were filled with astonishment.
Throughout their entire lives dedicated to cultivation, they had never encountered a case where two individuals joining forces could burst forth with such immense combat power.
Though the martial arts world had always had Combined Attack Techniques that, in combination with clever positioning and steps, could form formations to encircle and restrain the opponent, the type of cooperation displayed by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang today was something they had never seen before.
Both of these young people had individual strengths akin to those in the Innate Realm.
Yet when they joined forces, their combined combat strength far exceeded the power of two martial artists in the Innate Realm.
Previously, Zhu Tianshou and Qin Huai’an had joined forces to deal with Zhang Wenfeng, yet they stood no chance. However, when Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang joined hands in combat, they managed to suppress Zhang Wenfeng.
This was too miraculous.
The Xu siblings looked deeply at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, their hearts filled with shock and, more so, with elation.
With these two wielding such formidable combat power, plus Yang Fei’s miraculous ability to help others advance to higher realms, the Xu Family had truly aligned themselves correctly this time.
"Grandfather, Senior Zhu, are you both alright?" Qin Yanyang was the first to speak up, breaking the silence within the courtyard.
Zhu Tianshou responded with a slow smile, shaking his head, "We didn’t have much of a chance to make a move before that Zhang Wenfeng was scared off by you two, so what could possibly be the matter?"
Qin Huai’an also laughed heartily, greatly comforted, "Yes, haha, I never thought you two youngsters could give us such a huge surprise. Wonderful, truly wonderful! That fat man really didn’t deceive me, hahaha..."
He thought back to when that fat man told him to marry his granddaughter to his disciple, and he laughed proudly.
Indeed, he should be grateful to him.
Such an excellent grandson-in-law was countless times stronger than that Zhang Family boy.
From now on, the position of the Qin Family was secure, and the Divine Continent Martial World would not become as chaotic as he had feared.
"Seniors, please excuse me for a moment," Yang Fei suddenly spoke up, and after addressing the group, he took Qin Yanyang by the hand and entered her boudoir within the compound.
Zhu Tianshou and Qin Huai’an, with their sharp senses, noticed the chaos in Yang Fei’s internal energy and couldn’t help but show concern.
The three Xu brothers, not understanding the situation, said nothing and simply waited there.
In the room, Yang Fei did not offer any explanations; he immediately sat cross-legged and concentrated on running his cultivation technique at full force to suppress the scorching pain in his Martial Meridian acupoints.
Qin Yanyang, holding his hand, seemed to sense his pain and hurriedly circulated her cultivation technique to help him subdue that agony.
With experience, it took less than thirty minutes for Yang Fei to calm and suppress the nearly out-of-control situation within his body.
Another hour passed, and both of their depleted True Yuan had recovered by about fifty to sixty percent.
Outside the room, the five people waiting in the courtyard, except for Qin Huai’an, all wore expressions of shock as they looked towards the room where the two of them were.
Being martial arts experts, they could distinctly sense the power of Heaven and Earth gathering towards the room where Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang had entered.
Zhu Tianshou was secretly astonished, having not expected such tremendous effects during the dual cultivation of these two individuals.
The three Xu brothers were also thinking of the legendary Dual Cultivation Technique, filled with shock and envy.
If they could find suitable partners for Dual Cultivation and achieve such results, stepping into the Innate Realm would probably not be difficult for them.
...
The people of the Divine Continent Martial World were in a state of panic.
The fight on the Life and Death Platform between Yang Fei and Zhang Yunqing was of high interest to various forces across the Martial World, but no one expected that this duel would lead to a series of events that would kick off the rivalry between the Qin Family and the Zhang Family.
As Zhang Yunlong was taken away, tensions rose within the entire Divine Continent Martial World, with various powers closely monitoring the actions of the Zhang Family and the Qin Family.
Latter, when Zhang Yunfeng emerged and used his powerful Divine Thought to search for Zhang Yunlong without success, he led Wang Chengcuo, Luo Yong, and others to assail Qin Huai’an’s place of secluded cultivation. The incident was exposed by an elder accompanying them on the Martial Alliance Forum, immediately causing a huge stir within the martial community.
Everyone in the Martial World was anxiously waiting for the outcome.
Everyone thought that the Qin Family was finished.
Zhang Wenfeng had actually advanced to the Divine Travel Realm, the first super-strong warrior to cross that threshold in the Divine Continent Martial World in a thousand years.
With just Zhang Wenfeng alone, one could sweep across the world, undefeatable by anyone.
An innumerable amount of people were predicting the downfall of the Qin Family, and many who previously did not take sides were now not able to resist. Without waiting for the outcome, they started to speak words flattering the Zhang Family, disparaging the Qin Family, criticizing them for various faults.
However, as the news of Zhang Wenfeng’s defeat at the Qin Family spread, the entire Divine Continent Martial World Forum went silent.
What followed were various questions and shocks.
Questioning whether Zhang Wenfeng had thrown the fight, or if he had truly advanced to the Divine Travel Realm.
Even more questions were directed at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
These two young people under the age of twenty-five, even if they had begun cultivation from their mothers’ wombs, could not possibly be so extraordinary, could they? They had jointly fended off Zhang Wenfeng of the Divine Travel Realm?
How could this be possible?
For a time, the Divine Continent Martial World was abuzz, a wave of commotion rippling through.
But regardless, after today, the name Yang Fei truly shook the world, deeply embedding itself into the soul of every martial artist in the Divine Continent Martial World.
The halo of talent that once belonged to Zhang Yunlong, Qin Yanyang, and Zhang Yunqing had all shifted to Yang Fei.
The name Yang Fei resonated across the entire Divine Continent Martial World on this day, even reaching overseas and the ears of various hidden sects.
When the name Yang Fei became the top trending search on the Divine Continent Martial World Forum, another piece of information suddenly exploded on the Underworld Forum worldwide. It was even picked up by the Divine Continent Martial Artists and posted at the headquarters of the Divine Continent Martial Alliance Forum.
"Divine Continent Martial Artist Zhang Yunlong, secretly colluding with ’Sky Net’, belonging to one of the higher echelons of Sky Net, was one of the masterminds behind the ambush of ’International Madman’ over a year ago. Now, ’International Madman’ has re-emerged in the Martial Arts World, vowing revenge and declaring war against ’Sky Net’, swearing never to rest until death!"
The poster of this message on the global Underworld Forum was in fact the ’International Madman’s’ officially verified ID on the world forum. With this post, the global underworld immediately boiled over.
