116: Chapter 116 Subduing a Half-Saint Powerhouse, Expanding His Power!

Upon hearing the rewards obtained after capturing a Saint this time, even Zhou Yuxuan felt incredibly shocked at this moment.

One must know that the Emperor Sutra of Calamity he currently possessed was obtained by upgrading the quality of a Saint-tier Cultivation Technique.

Seeing that he was about to obtain another Emperor Sutra, Zhou Yuxuan promptly forgot about the two Saints who had just escaped.

Following that, he looked at Zhao Chungang, who had sustained some minor injuries, and took out many rare treasures of heaven and earth from his Storage Pouch, handing them to him.

"Old Zhao, take these and use them. You've worked hard today!"

Seeing that Zhou Yuxuan not only didn't blame him for letting those two Saints escape but even took out so many rare treasures for his healing, he felt incredibly grateful.

Taking the items from Zhou Yuxuan's hands, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks for your understanding, Young Lord!"

At this moment, Pei Nanya also walked over and handed the Divine Light Demon-Suppressing Seal in her hand to Zhou Yuxuan.

"Master, returning this to you!"

Zhou Yuxuan took back the Divine Light Demon-Suppressing Seal and immediately surveyed the situation around Hulong Mountain.

In his perception, there were indeed many experts secretly observing them, and some even came with murderous intent. However, hindered by the presence of two Saints by his side, these people had no intention of making a move.

They could only watch in silence.

"Let's go! These people are quite sensible; they didn't swarm up just because you were injured."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chungang and Pei Nanya smiled knowingly. They had also noticed the people secretly observing them nearby; if their Young Lord had not spoken, they would have certainly taken action to annihilate them.

Immediately after, just as Zhou Yuxuan was about to tear through the Void Realm and prepare to leave, he suddenly sensed a ripple coming from a spot in the Void Realm.

He couldn't help but lightly pat his head and said indifferently, "My memory is truly poor; I actually forgot about these people!"

As Zhou Yuxuan's voice fell, Zhao Chungang gripped the Four Symbols Spirit Sword and slashed with one strike towards the Void Realm where the commotion came from.

'Puchi!!'

As the Void Realm was slashed open, the dozen or so Semi-Saint experts from the Bodhi Academy and Haoran Divine Sect hiding inside all revealed expressions of terror.

"Zhou Family brat! Do you really intend to kill us all?"

"Holy Son of Tianyuan, this seat is an Old Ancestor of the Haoran Divine Sect. If you kill us, are you not afraid that Old Ancestor Haoran will risk his life to destroy your lineage?"

'...'

At this moment, these Old Ancestors seemed to have not witnessed the previous great battle, and one by one, they uttered threatening words, attempting to make Zhou Yuxuan retreat in the face of difficulties.

However, they had assumed these threatening words would scare off Zhou Yuxuan, but they did not expect that the Holy Son of Tianyuan before them would only offer a cold smile.

"Hehe! Your Old Ancestors were just beaten and driven away by the two by my side. Are you sure you still want to threaten this seat?"

Zhou Yuxuan's words caused these Semi-Saint Old Ancestors to frown collectively.

They had been beaten quite badly by Pei Nanya earlier and had almost all passed out. They knew nothing of what had just happened. They only felt waves of powerful combat fluctuations coming from the outside. But before long, these powerful fluctuations had disappeared.

Subsequently, when they woke up and discovered that Pei Nanya was gone, they couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Yet, before they could be happy for long, they were found by these people again.

Now, they were hearing that their ancestors had been beaten and driven away; how could they possibly believe this?

"Hehe! You are scared into this state just by hearing that a few Saint Old Ancestors were driven away. If I were to say that the one beside me just killed an Ancestor Bodhi, wouldn't you all commit suicide?"

As Zhou Yuxuan spoke, he pointed to Zhao Chungang beside him.

Instantly, the several Semi-Saint Old Ancestors from the Bodhi Academy looked towards Zhao Chungang, their eyes filled with disbelief.

How great was Ancestor Bodhi; how could he die at the hands of someone who looked so disheveled?

However, even if everyone refused to believe it, Zhou Yuxuan did not bother with them further.

With a cold gaze, he slowly scanned the surroundings and then asked, "If you want to live, submit to this King. If you do not submit, then die!"

Zhou Yuxuan's chilling voice caused the dozen or so Old Ancestors to become enraged.

However, just as these dozen or so people stirred up feelings of anger, their entire bodies were suppressed to the ground by a powerful pressure.

"Hmph! Daring to be disrespectful to the Young Lord, do you want to die?"

Zhao Chungang said coldly.

The dozen or so Semi-Saint Old Ancestors dared to be angry but dared not speak. They were only Semi-Saints; although there was only a one-character difference from a Saint, the disparity in strength was truly like heaven and earth.

If a Saint expert wanted to kill them, these Semi-Saints, they would certainly be the ones to die if a fight truly broke out. They didn't even have the qualifications to counterattack or injure a Saint.

Looking at the old men suppressed and lying on the ground, Zhou Yuxuan shook his head and spoke.

"Why, are you unwilling to submit to this King?"

"I have the Opportunity in my hands that can allow you to break through to the Saint Realm. Do you not want it?"

As soon as Zhou Yuxuan's words were spoken, several of these dozen or so Semi-Saints immediately looked up, greed flashing in their eyes.

Wasn't the reason they became Old Ancestors of a major sect simply to seek the Opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm?

Yet, these Opportunities to break through and become a Saint were held tightly by those people, who refused to give them to anyone.

Relying on their own efforts, they had managed to touch the Semi-Saint Realm, but that final step had consumed countless years of their time.

However, the Young Master of the Zhou Family before them was actually saying he would hand over this Opportunity to become a Saint. They were half-believing and half-doubting.

"What, you all don't believe it? Do you know who this person beside me is?"

"He is the former Sword God, Zhao Chungang!"

Zhou Yuxuan said, pointing to the middle-aged man beside him.

The dozen or so Old Ancestors were stunned; they had not expected that the swordsman before them was actually the famous Zhao Chungang.

But hadn't he been struck by Liu Xianzhi, losing his arm and having his Foundation destroyed?

Everyone was puzzled. Moreover, they had met Zhao Chungang once before; he had the appearance of a one-armed old man, while the one before them had all four limbs intact and the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Seeing that there were acquaintances among them who didn't recognize him, Zhao Chungang hurriedly released his exclusive Sword Qi.

Immediately, those among the dozen or so Semi-Saints who were acquaintances of Zhao Chungang recognized this aura.

He staggered to his feet, saying with eyes full of disbelief, "Old Zhao, you, did you really break through to the Saint Realm?"

Zhao Chungang nodded: "That's right! Old Wang, you are a smart man; you should know how to choose. The Young Lord treats me very well. Seeing my Foundation was damaged, he didn't even blink before giving me a Saint-tier Medicinal Pill, allowing me to recover from my injuries, and he even passed on to me half of a Saint-tier Sword Dao Cultivation Technique, helping me break through to the Saint Realm!"

Listening to everything Zhao Chungang said—Saint-tier Medicinal Pills, Saint-tier Cultivation Techniques—every single item was extremely alluring, and this Young Master of the Zhou Family had actually given them away so casually.

This made quite a few Semi-Saint experts feel tempted.

"Everyone, how have you considered it?"

Seeing that the timing was about right, Zhou Yuxuan asked.

After a while, a few people staggered to their feet, came before Zhou Yuxuan, and performed the ritual of submission.

Very quickly, most of the dozen or so Semi-Saint Old Ancestors present chose to submit, with only a scant few choosing to resist to the death!

Looking at those who were unwilling to submit, Zhou Yuxuan lost interest in subduing them.

He said to Zhao Chungang beside him, "Old Zhao, go ahead and kill those who are unwilling to submit!"
