Chapter 170 A Rescue from Afar
The rain gradually intensified, and an unusual phenomenon appeared: the sky tilted and collapsed.
The dark clouds pressed down on us like huge rocks, making us feel suffocated.
The Demon Lord still had the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man, but compared to how Zhang Ping had seen him before, he now possessed a strange liveliness, or rather... a spirituality?
Becoming secretly vigilant, Zhang Ping clenched his fist, and a long sword formed from condensed water appeared in his hand.
The heavy rain actually greatly enhanced his performance.
After several encounters, the Demon Lord should have been able to guess his ability to control water, yet he still dared to come looking for him at this time.
"You can manipulate water, or rather, all liquids related to water?" The Demon Lord's voice echoed eerily.
suddenly!
brush! !
A sharp blade appeared behind Zhang Ping!
Zhang Ping's expression suddenly changed, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
When it reappeared, it was already a hundred meters away.
Looking back at where I had just stood, a thin black line was faintly visible in mid-air. If it weren't for the terrifying tearing power emanating from it, it would have been impossible to detect it in such a calm environment!
"Spatial power!"
His expression began to turn serious, as if facing a formidable enemy!
The Demon Lord remained unhurried and spoke with a relaxed expression: "Your abilities are very similar to Shan Ze's. Thinking back to when I found Shan Ze, I was also amazed by his abilities."
Controlling water sources, overturning mountains and seas—they are omnipotent. In the Great Domain of Myriad Spirits, such innate abilities are comparable to the legendary Five Elements Spiritual Body!
At this point, a hint of admiration appeared on his face.
With a hint of surprise, he said:
Your abilities seem to surpass even yours; not only can you control the flow of water in the world, but you can also control the blood in the human body. It seems that you can control all liquids related to water.
This is truly unheard of, and incredibly wondrous!
How strange!
Zhang Ping remained silent, but noticed the Demon Lord's mention of the Myriad Spirits Domain and the Five Elements Spiritual Body, and a slight thought crossed his mind.
However, instead of directly asking the Demon Lord, he said:
"I'm curious, are you Wang Tian, or an ancient demon sealed in the former lands of Wei and Zhao?"
"And you seem to know a lot of things."
The Demon Lord smiled and said, "The world changes, and the heavens and earth turn. You will know this in the future."
Having said that, he no longer concealed the power within him, and a monstrous gray aura surged forth violently, like a sky collapsing, pressing down on Zhang Ping!
Zhang Ping was prepared, and unleashed the power of his Ghost Blade, which he had been holding back!
One strike, and the world is shaken!
Both of them have reached the pinnacle of their power, making them the undisputed strongest in the former lands of Wei and Zhao, sealed by heaven and earth!
The blade energy gradually dissipated upon encountering the gray aura.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ping's expression became extremely solemn.
He slowly gripped the longsword with both hands, and murmured, "Divine power!"
......
One hundred miles outside the capital,
A group of over a hundred people, their qi and blood concealed, moved forward slowly.
Suddenly, Chu Hanwei stopped abruptly and turned to look in the northwest direction.
"What's wrong?" A person shrouded in a black robe asked hoarsely.
Chu Hanwei glanced silently at the long sword in her hand, a hint of doubt appearing on her exquisite face.
"The divine sword is behaving strangely; it seems to be the aura of the Demon Lord?"
"The aura of the Demon Lord?" The man in black robes was slightly taken aback.
At the forefront of the group, Dao Yuanzi, his beard and hair fluttering in the wind, asked:
"Nephew Chu, are you sure?"
"Wait, let me double-check!" Chu Hanwei dared not be careless. He sat cross-legged on the ground and focused his energy and spirit into the Frost Sword.
The hundreds of martial artists around them all exuded powerful auras. Nearly half of them were shrouded in black robes.
Strange tentacles could be vaguely seen extending from beneath the black robe.
Everyone heard Dao Yuanzi and the others' conversation and surrounded them warily.
This expedition of one hundred people represents almost all of the elite forces of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they have quietly set out to hunt down the demon king, Sha Kui.
To prepare for the decisive battle to come.
I didn't expect to sense the Demon Lord's aura so soon after leaving the capital.
Many people felt a chill run down their spines, but were not afraid.
None of those who have survived the great war until now have escaped from dire straits without having done so.
At this moment, Chu Hanwei's beautiful eyes were closed, and a blurry image appeared in her mind.
Heavy rain poured down, and dark clouds shrouded the earth.
In the darkness of the torrential rain, two figures collided like streaks of light!
"That is..." Her crimson lips began to move, as if she wanted to say a word.
However, the reason why the Frost Sword could sense the Demon Lord's aura was because it had once been the Heavenly Profound Sword in the Demon Lord's hands. Now that it had been refined by her, its connection with the Demon Lord was weak.
If it weren't for the Frost Sword's own power, it would be impossible to see the distant scenery from thousands of miles away.
Her brows furrowed as she strained to make out the two figures in the heavy rain and darkness.
"Demonic energy... sword energy... that's the Demon Lord! Someone is fighting the Demon Lord!"
Suddenly, after seeing what one of them looked like, Chu Hanwei was shocked!
He was speechless!
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned, and then their faces were filled with disbelief!
Is someone fighting the Demon Lord?
How is that possible!
Leaving aside the fact that the Demon Lord's strength was unparalleled in the entire former territory of Wei and Zhao, even Dao Yuanzi, who had broken through using a secret technique, could only hold off his opponent and was still at a disadvantage.
Besides, who else in the former territories of Wei and Zhao could fight against the Demon?
Moreover, judging from Chu Hanwei's words just now, it seems that the fight was evenly matched.
Who is this person?
Standing to the side, Xu Rulin, hidden beneath his black robe, was the first to react, saying in a deep voice, "They might be visitors from outside!"
Upon hearing his words, the others all agreed. Now they all knew the truth about the former territory of Wei and Zhao, and had gained some understanding of the vast world outside.
If there were anyone besides Dao Yuanzi who could fight the Demon Lord to a standstill, they couldn't imagine who it could be, except for outsiders.
"Perhaps they are powerful figures invited by those who went to the Myriad Spirits Domain?" Mo Tianhe also said.
This statement makes some sense. After all, more than half a year has passed since the first group left the old territory of Wei and Zhao. If someone has exceptional luck, it is possible that they could bring in a powerful figure to save the day.
"No! It's not someone from outside, it's Zhang Ping!"
Just then, Chu Hanwei suddenly spoke up again.
She got a clear look at the person's face!
It's Zhang Ping!
Zhang Ping?
The surrounding area fell silent. They had heard this name from Dao Yuanzi many times in the past six months.
The phrase they were most familiar with was: "His strength is extraordinary; if he were still alive, he could join forces with the Demon Lord to fight."
Previously, they had no concept of Zhang Ping's strength, only knowing how powerful he was from Dao Yuanzi.
But upon hearing that the other party was actually able to fight the Demon Lord, his status was immediately elevated to a whole new level!
"It was him? He's back?" Xu Rulin asked, his voice slightly changed.
"Never mind that for now, let's hurry over there to help!"
Chu Hanwei stood up and took the lead, soaring out!
Dao Yuanzi moved at a leisurely pace, even faster than Chu Hanwei.
Shuttle! Shuttle! Shuttle!
Streaks of light headed northwest...
