Chapter 964 Concealment
In an instant, those who were originally hiding from Chen Yang rushed towards him with a desperate resolve.
Facing so many Grandmasters, Chen Yang showed no fear.
In such a situation, fear would only give these fellows an opportunity to kill him.
Chen Yang possessed extremely rich combat experience; he had emerged from countless life-and-death struggles and had experienced even more perilous situations.
With a flick of his hand, Chen Yang popped several recovery pills into his mouth.
His Star Constellation techniques, fused with the Earth Element techniques from the Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Witch, were called the Forbidden Domain by Chen Yang. For a moment, the space around Chen Yang shifted.
Dark, viscous earth, liquefied, churned.
The martial artists who had just entered this range immediately felt the change.
The internal energy within them stagnated significantly!
But by the time they realized it, it was already too late!
Controlling so many martial artists simultaneously caused Chen Yang's internal energy to dissipate rapidly.
Fortunately, the pills he had just consumed instantly restored a considerable amount of his internal energy!
The Heavenly Movement Secret Arts made Chen Yang as elusive as a ghost. Grandmaster peak martial artists perished at a visible rate.
His rich combat experience made Chen Yang acutely aware of a martial artist's weaknesses.
Even if Grandmaster peak experts could withstand bullets, the heart meridians within their bodies were still vulnerable points.
Chen Yang's attacks were perfectly aimed.
Directly at the heart meridians!
Furthermore, his powerful mental energy simultaneously shattered the opponent's mental energy.
Death!
Grandmaster peak experts, whom others found difficult to kill, were like dust in Chen Yang's hands!
However, once the others realized that the special technique Chen Yang employed had a limited range, they quickly devised countermeasures.
Coupled with their sheer numbers, even though Chen Yang could handle two or four individuals, facing the relentless stream of Grandmaster peak experts, Chen Yang soon began to show signs of fatigue.
Fei Zilin and the others, along with several demonic beasts, wanted to help Chen Yang, but they too were engaged with a considerable number of Grandmaster peak experts.
More importantly, Xuan Qing was not targeting Chen Yang but was blocking Fei Zilin and the others.
The martial artists of Xuan Tian Cave Mansion were all Grandmaster peak experts who had undergone body forging, making them inherently stronger than ordinary Grandmaster peak experts.
Xuan Qing intended to probe Fei Zilin and the others' true capabilities. Moreover, Chen Yang's combat power was overwhelmingly strong, and Xuan Qing was unwilling to incur further losses for Xuan Tian Cave Mansion.
Chen Yang's fatigue provided an opportunity for the Grandmasters of the Zhou family. The Zhou family's consecrated experts had already suffered significant losses in such a short time, and it was time for them to intervene.
But at this very moment, a graceful figure appeared before Chen Yang.
"Leave these people to me."
Chen Shu had not appeared earlier because he was busy eliminating those who had been teleported away by the formation.
Upon seeing Chen Shu, Chen Yang knew that Chen Shu had resolved that matter.
The next second, Wei Zhenru and Liu Yuanzhi, who had been acting with Chen Shu, also appeared in the fray.
The Zhou family patriarch was startled upon seeing these two individuals.
"Wei Zhenru!" The Zhou family patriarch could never have imagined encountering Wei Zhenru here.
He had assumed that Wei Zhenru had already gone into hiding, as the Wei family members were no longer present.
"You dare to show yourself before me again!"
The Zhou family patriarch's anger was beyond ordinary. In his heart, everything that was happening now was entirely due to the Wei family's betrayal.
If it weren't for the Wei family, the Zhou family would not have ended up in such a predicament.
Absolutely not!
Even if Yangyangyang Company had allied with the God of War, so what?
The Zhou family could have simply sacrificed a few individuals, even their own son, the Zhou family patriarch would have been willing!
But the Wei family had severed this path.
A significant portion of the Zhou family's capital was in the hands of the Wei family.
If the current companies were to collapse, the Zhou family would not just be wounded but would have its very bones stripped away.
Otherwise, why would the Zhou family patriarch have come to Qingzhou with such fanfare?
Given the Zhou family's stature, there was no need to risk everything.
It was all because of the Wei family's stab in the back!
The Zhou family patriarch lunged towards Wei Zhenru, his Grandmaster peak power erupting.
Wei Zhenru looked astonished and said, "I knew it. You, the esteemed patriarch of the Zhou family, with so many resources at your disposal and an alchemist assisting you in refining pills, how could you possibly be just a mere Grandmaster?"
"I never expected you to have hidden your true strength for so long!"
The Zhou family patriarch had always presented himself as a Grandmaster to the outside world. Others knew that the Zhou family had a Grandmaster peak expert, but they were unaware that the Zhou family patriarch himself was also a Grandmaster peak expert.
"I've done many troublesome things for your Zhou family over the years, and I've repaid my debts. Today, you and I are enemies!"
Wei Zhenru knew that reconciliation between him and the Zhou family was impossible, but it didn't matter, because after today, the Zhou family would cease to exist!
Just as Liu Yuanzhi was about to make a move, he was intercepted by Luo Yanghong and Zu Chongshen, who attacked in tandem.
"Liu, I never thought you were one of Chen Yangyang's men. No wonder they tried to invite you out time and again, and you repeatedly refused!"
"Someone like this, and you still want him to join our Xuan Tian Cave Mansion?"
"Utterly delusional!" Zu Chongshen, upon seeing Liu Yuanzhi, initially thought he had come to assist them.
He never expected him to be on Chen Yang's side.
Recalling Liu Yuanzhi's previous attempt to have his granddaughter admitted into Xuan Tian Cave Mansion, Zu Chongshen naturally felt compelled to mock him.
Liu Yuanzhi's granddaughter, Hou Qingzhu, possessed decent talent, but she was only just capable of being admitted into Xuan Tian Cave Mansion.
Xuan Tian Cave Mansion could either accept or reject someone like her.
If Zu Chongshen hadn't accepted Liu Yuanzhi's gifts previously, he wouldn't have taken on the matter.
He never expected that before the task was completed, this fellow would have already betrayed them.
However, this was also good. The gifts had already entered his possession, and he wouldn't return them.
What Zu Chongshen didn't expect was that Liu Yuanzhi seemed even more enraged.
"Zu Chongshen? It's you!"
"I'll kill you today!"
Veins bulged on Liu Yuanzhi's forehead, and the fury within even caused his internal energy to fluctuate.
What Zu Chongshen didn't realize was that the items he had previously accepted might not have been much to him.
But Zu Chongshen, having grown up in a sect, had seen many things that were extremely difficult to obtain in the outside world.
Liu Yuanzhi had always cultivated in the outside world. If he hadn't encountered a few fortunate opportunities in his youth, he wouldn't have reached the Grandmaster peak.
In order to have his granddaughter join a major sect, Liu Yuanzhi had gone through immense hardship, exhausting his family's wealth to gather some treasures.
Whether Hou Qingzhu joined Xuan Tian Cave Mansion now was naturally unimportant, especially since she had Chen Yang as her master.
However, the one who accepted so many of his possessions... no, the entire Hou family's accumulated wealth, Liu Yuanzhi certainly couldn't forget.
