Chapter 90: Struggle for Supremacy

  "Wu Ding is here, how dare I be presumptuous."

  Xu Hua was grateful to Wu Ding Chengfeng for bringing Zhou Ying to his side, but he never trusted Wu Ding Chengfeng and remained vigilant towards him.

  Wu Ding Hao Ran secretly poisoned Xu Hua, and Xu Hua would not let him go. Although Wu Ding Cheng Feng and Wu Ding Hao Ran did not get along, they were both the orthodox descendants of the Wu Ding family, with elder members present, so it was impossible for them to openly quarrel on the surface. When facing external threats, they would inevitably stand together, which is one reason Xu Hua couldn't trust Wu Ding Cheng Feng.

  Secondly, Wu Ding Cheng brought six martial artists from the late Wudang period, which is the strongest force on the scene. Xu Hua did not believe that he would bring this group of people without any purpose, and once a sudden attack problem occurs, it will be the most terrifying force. If Xu Hua confronts him, there will only be one dead end. Xu Hua will not put his life in someone else's hands, which is the second reason why Xu Hua guards against Wu Ding Cheng.

  Wu Ding Chengfeng looked at Xu Hua and Zhou Ying, Luo Cheng, Bai Qiutang walking step by step, his eyes slightly narrowed, saying: "Let's go together to take a look? I'm also entering the ruins for the first time, I want to see it clearly."

  "It seems that there's only some martial emperor's notes and leftover techniques, nothing good." Yuxiu's heart watched the group of people in front who had already started a big battle, furrowing her brow, with the two old men by her side, not taking a step back. For these two old men, ensuring Miss's safety was the most important thing.

  Zhou Ying was excited to see such a scene for the first time. Luo Cheng looked at the distant melee with an expressionless face, then withdrew his gaze. Bai Qiutang's eyes sparkled with interest in joining in, but after glancing at Xu Hua, who remained unmoved, he silently stood by.

  On the vast and open plain, dozens of powerful martial artists rushed out, competing with each other for the books left behind by the master of the ancient ruins, and they couldn't be reconciled.

  "Put down the manual in your hand, or else I'll never let you go!" A mid-term martial artist of the Wu Empire glared at a middle-aged man holding an old yellow book with red eyes.

  Just now he saw this notebook on the bookshelf - My Insights, Martial Arts Mastery is Within Reach!

  Just as he was about to take it, a hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the notebook away. He immediately stared at the person with a fierce gaze, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred, determined not to let go until he got the notebook back.

  Although he was already a strong man in the mid-term of Wu Huang, his age was no longer young. At the age of nearly eighty, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Huang's warriors had a lifespan of almost two hundred years, he would have been an old man with white hair at this moment. The closer a warrior is to the limit of their lifespan, the harder it is to break through, because of the loss of life energy, his body no longer allows him to break through. In this life, he may be able to become a late-stage Wu Huang warrior, but as for Wu Zun, he has not even a glimmer of hope.

  At this time, this book gave him hope. As long as he got the insights about Wu Zun from it, he at least had a chance to touch the realm of Wu Zun. However, someone snatched away the book that held his infinite hopes, how could he not hate!

  The martial emperor who was holding the manual immediately picked it up and took a look, his eyes bursting with excitement to the extreme. He inadvertently exclaimed, "It's actually about the insights of the Martial Honored One! With this, I won't need to explore on my own anymore. Maybe I'll even have a chance to become a powerful Martial Honored One!"

  He had just finished speaking when he felt something was wrong, but it was too late. The three people nearby seemed to have heard and immediately surrounded him.

  "Hand over the manual in your hand!" These three people were exactly the three from Da Cang Ling's Pursuit of Life Tower, who had entered after Xu Hua. As soon as they arrived, they came to this chaotic battlefield. Before they could even stand firm, they suddenly heard good news about the Martial Emperor's epiphany. Although the Pursuit of Life Tower also had strong Martial Emperors, each Martial Emperor's epiphany was slightly different. Having one more Martial Emperor's epiphany would mean having one more chance to step into the realm of the Martial Emperor. They certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

  "It's impossible!" Although there were three strong men from the Wu Huang period in front of him, he couldn't put down what was in his hand. He seemed to have gone a bit crazy, looking for an opportunity to escape, but the three people from the Pursuing Tower and another person would not let him get his way, immediately blocking his path, and a fierce battle broke out.

  The entire scene was completely out of control, with true energy surging and figures intersecting. Wu Ding Chengfeng, Yu Xiu Xin, and Xu Hua led a group of people walking over slowly, but no one came to provoke them. With just the Wu Ding clan alone bringing six powerful warriors from the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm, no one dared to confront them.

  "Although it's a good thing to discover a relic, having too many people discovering it isn't necessarily a good thing! Since there are many monks but little porridge, one can only kill, and only the strong can obtain the final spoils of war." Bai Qiutang watched this scene unfold, and let out a soft sigh as he said.

  Wu Ding Chengfeng remained expressionless, simply watching without intervening, while also starting a conversation with Xu Hua. "Brother Xu Hua, the entire Luocheng has been searched by various forces big and small for months, yet nothing was found. I must say, Brother Xu's skills are truly impressive!"

  "Xu was just hiding and dodging, not daring to appear in front of everyone! It's not an exaggeration to call him a stray dog from a mourning family, what skills does he have?" Xu Hua felt a pang in her heart, with a bad premonition.

  Yu Xiu Xin, Zhou Ying and Bai Yu Tang were all somewhat interested.

  "Haha, after killing the elder of the Luosheng Sect, nothing has happened so far. In all these years, Brother Xu is the first one! This doesn't count as an achievement, what does?" Wu Ding said with a smile.

  "Oh, does Brother Xu have any other stories in Luocheng?" Yuxiu asked with great interest.

  "Yes, Brother Xu in Luocheng is well-known to everyone! It's said that Brother Xu had a treasure trove of complete relics, and countless forces in Luocheng pursued and killed him to get his treasure. In the end, those people were killed by Brother Xu instead. Finally, Brother Xu disappeared, and for several months, all the big and small forces in Luocheng searched for his whereabouts, but none of them found anything." Wu Ding Chengfeng basically summarized the news that everyone knew about in Luocheng.

  Xu Hua's eyes turned cold, but he didn't say anything. However, a faint crimson glow flashed in the eyes of Luo Cheng beside him.

  Next to this group of people, several people immediately looked at Xu Hua. At this time, saying such a message was extremely unfavorable for Xu Hua, and Xu Hua did not explain either. Because even if he explained, it would be useless. This kind of thing has always been better to believe in its existence rather than its non-existence. Perhaps next, Xu Hua will face unnecessary disputes that were originally avoidable.

  "I didn't expect Brother Xu to have such a heroic deed." Yu Xiu's eyes sparkled with an unusual light, although he had also seen many young people in contact, and there were not a few in the family like Wu Ding Chengfeng, but the Xu Hua in front of him gave him a different feeling.

  What kind of person is he! He looks like a refined and elegant young man, but his deeds are so ferocious, not showing at all that his hands have been stained with the lives of so many people.

  "Brother Hua, you've killed people?" Zhou Ying was shocked when she heard the news. She really couldn't believe that Brother Hua, who had always been kind and merciful, would actually kill people, and it seemed like he had killed quite a few of them.

  Xu Hua looked at Xiao Ying, whose face had turned slightly pale, and said with a bitter tone: "Yes, I didn't expect it either, but I don't regret it. Because if I don't kill others, they will kill me, so anyone who wants to kill me, I will kill them one by one."

  "Brother Hua, killing people is not good!" Although Zhou Ying's face didn't look good, she held Xu Hua's hand even tighter. "But I believe Brother Hua only kills bad people, Ying'er supports you."

  Xu Hua was overjoyed, Wu Ding Chengfeng looked at Zhou Ying with a flash of fervor in his eyes, while Yu Xiu's heart was somewhat puzzled. In her eyes, killing people was nothing out of the ordinary, there were no people who shouldn't be killed, only those who could or couldn't be killed!

  "Jing is really kind!" Yuxiu thought that Zhou Jing was too kind.

  At this moment, many people around had stopped fighting and were all gathering towards Xu Hua's group. Wu Ding shouted loudly, "What do you want to do?"

  He gazed gloomily at the people gathering around, and the six ruthless warriors of the late Wu Dynasty immediately surrounded him, their eyes coldly and mercilessly scanning the surrounding crowd, not paying any attention to Yuxiu Xin and others, as if they were unrelated.

  "Wudeng Chengfeng, here we all belong to your strongest force. If we fight separately, none of our forces can match yours! However, since everyone has come from afar, it's naturally for the treasure here, and no one wants to return empty-handed."

  "Your men may be strong, but we have more people; if it really comes down to a fight, the consequences..."

  "We don't want too much either, let's divide things here into two halves, one for you and one for us to share among ourselves. How does that sound?"

  These people were just fighting a moment ago, but they didn't forget about Wu Ding Chengfeng's threat. No one would ignore such a powerful force.

  Under the urging of the thoughtful people, they all gathered together to negotiate with Wu Ding Chengfeng. Of course, relying on this force, they could have destroyed Wu Ding Chengfeng's side, but they had reservations about each other and would not take action lightly.

  "Is this a threat? I, Wu Ding Chengfeng, have never been threatened before!" Wu Ding Chengfeng's face immediately darkened.

  Yu Xiu Xin, Xu Hua, Luo Cheng and Bai Qiutang were also secretly on guard at times, ready to strike at any moment.

  "We just want what we deserve, don't we all come here for nothing?" These people also didn't want to offend Wu Ding Cheng too much.

  "Alright, alright! A mere Wu Huang relic is nothing to me, the Udumbara clan. If you want it, take it! But there's not much to go around, I'd like to see how you'll divide it!" Udumbara Chengfeng said with a somewhat flustered tone.

  "That's all taken care of!" was Wu Dingcheng's reply. Everyone retreated, and no one thought that Wu Dingcheng dared to offend everyone.
