Chapter 129: The Might of the Battle Array, Appearance of the Innate Realm Great Grandmaster_2
For a moment, everyone's bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they involuntarily stopped what they were doing.
There was no helping it; the figure on the roof exuded such a terrifying presence that no one could overlook.
Even Wei Xinghe and the red-faced old man, who were still entangled in a fight, suddenly separated and retreated to either side, looking towards the rooftop with trepidation and uncertainty.
"Master!"
The burly Great Han's pupils shrank.
"Second Elder!"
The martial artists who had come with the burly Great Han also exclaimed in shock.
"Master, Second Elder?"
A thought crossed Wei Xinghe's mind, realizing that the person arriving was the behind-the-scenes mastermind who had brought calamity to the Wei Family.
"A bunch of trash!"
Wang Cangyi looked down at the scene below with a dark expression.
He hadn't expected that so many of his subordinates would not only fail to handle the Wei Family but even show signs of defeat.
This was something the always arrogant him couldn't tolerate.
The burly man's body trembled, and he immediately knelt on one knee.
"Disciple has been inept, please punish me, Master!"
The other disciples of the Cangyun Sect also quickly knelt down.
"Hmph!"
Wang Cangyi snorted coldly but said nothing.
These worthless disciples indeed needed punishment, but that was not for now.
His gaze swept over the kneeling disciples before settling on the Wei Family crowd, eventually focusing on Wei Xinghe.
"Are you the current Family Head of the Wei Family?"
Being under Wang Cangyi's gaze, Wei Xinghe immediately felt a tremendous weight upon him as if a massive mountain had fallen onto his shoulders, making it difficult to breathe.
Fear uncontrollably welled up from the depths of his heart, and he couldn't help but want to kneel and beg for mercy.
"Not good!"
Wei Xinghe realized that this was the influence of the Innate Realm's pressure, causing him to have hallucinations.
He clenched his fists tightly, thrusting his nails into his palms, and under the sharp pain, his mind finally broke free from the fear, and his vision cleared.
"Indeed, I am Wei Xinghe, the current Patriarch of the Wei Family. I have seen the distinguished personage of the Innate Realm."
Wei Xinghe bowed deeply, his posture very humble.
"Good composure, quite the talent. With your temperament, given time, you might indeed cultivate your own Divine Soul Power and step into the Innate Realm."
Seeing that Wei Xinghe had freed himself from the innate pressure, Wang Cangyi's expression did not change, but he actually offered praise.
"I dare not," Wei Xinghe's heart quivered.
The more composed the other party was, the more uneasy he felt.
"Wei Xinghe, I am giving you two options now. One is to hand over that treasure, and I will spare your Wei Family. The other is for me to take action personally, and obliterate your Wei Family completely. Which option would you like to choose?"
As expected, Wang Cangyi's following words shocked Wei Xinghe greatly.
He cried out urgently, "Sir, the Holy Mountain has decreed that those of the Innate Realm should not harm those below the Innate level at will. Does Sir intend to defy the Holy Order..."
"Presumptuous!"
Wang Cangyi's face darkened, and a powerful aura burst forth from him, instantly creating a gale; all the martial artists below felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them.
Those with weaker resolve immediately knelt down, faces filled with fear.
As for Wei Xinghe, who bore the brunt of the pressure, he felt the burden on him multiply as if the heavens were about to collapse upon him, so oppressively that he even shattered the thick Qing stone slabs under his feet.
"Hallucinations, these are all hallucinations!"
Wei Xinghe kept reminding himself internally, refusing to allow himself to kneel.
As the Patriarch of the Wei Family, he had felt the might of the Innate Realm from his ancestors.
He knew that this inborn momentum couldn't directly injure people.
As long as his will was strong enough, he could treat it as if it were a breeze, not affecting him.
With continuous mental reassurance, Wei Xinghe actually withstood the pressure, and despite trembling, he remained standing, without kneeling.
"Hmm?"
Upon witnessing this scene, a hint of surprise appeared in Wang Cangyi's eyes.
If previously Wei Xinghe's resilience could be explained by his strong will, it was another matter that he could persevere under the full force of his aura now.
This indicated that Wei Xinghe's will far surpassed that of an ordinary martial artist at the peak of the Internal Organ Realm.
Will is closely related to one's Heart and Spirit.
If previously, Wang Cangyi's words were seventy percent deception and thirty percent coaxing, giving Wei Xinghe a prospect of reaching the Innate Realm, with the intent to lessen his will to fight and make him surrender the treasure,
Now, he felt that Wei Xinghe might indeed have the potential to step into the Innate Realm.
Especially after his aura had washed over the environment, it wouldn't be long before Wei Xinghe might truly comprehend the Divine Soul Power because of it.
This man must not be left alive!
With that thought, Wang Cangyi's gaze suddenly sharpened.
He raised his hand, and a white Sword Qi materialized from thin air, speeding straight towards Wei Xinghe!
"What?"
Wei Xinghe was shocked.
He couldn't have imagined that a mighty Innate Realm cultivator would actually stoop to such a level of shamelessness.
Not only did he make a move against a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist like himself, but he did so in an almost sneak attack manner.
Wei Xinghe wanted to dodge.
But the Sword Qi arrived too swiftly, and coupled with Wang Cangyi's oppressive aura still bearing down on him, he couldn't bring even thirty to forty percent of his full strength to bear, much less dodge in time.
He could only watch helplessly as the Sword Qi was about to strike him.
"My life is over!"
Wei Xinghe sighed in his heart and closed his eyes.
Yet in his mind, two figures involuntarily surfaced.
"My lady, An Er, I'm afraid I won't be able to come find you myself."
Wei Xinghe closed his eyes, waiting for death.
The other Martial Artists also widened their eyes, watching this unfold.
However, the next moment, an even more shocking scene occurred.
Just as Wang Cangyi's Sword Qi was about to hit Wei Xinghe, a red light suddenly emerged, overtaking and blocking the white Sword Qi.
Boom!
White and red lights collided, and an intense explosion erupted.
Under the tremendous outburst of Qi Force, not only was Wei Xinghe sent tumbling away, but even nearby Martial Artists were destabilized, rolling on the ground like scattered gourds.
"Wang Cangyi, you still haven't changed, using such shameless sneak attacks against a junior in the Postnatal Realm, truly disgraceful for someone of the Innate Realm."
After the blast, an old yet vigorous voice rang out from above the crowd.
"Grand Ancestor!"
Shocked to the point of spitting mouthfuls of blood and suffering from chest pains, Wei Xinghe was too preoccupied with his injuries to care and looked up, his face showing a surge of overjoyed relief.
Indeed, on another rooftop, he saw a familiar figure.
That old man with a fierce character and powerful stature, carrying a War Saber on his back.
Another Innate Realm figure!
Feeling the aura emanating from this newly appeared figure, the Martial Artists below instantly realized that here stood another Innate Realm Grandmaster.
And to hear Wei Xinghe's address, this elder was the famed patriarch of the Wei Family!
"Dammit, another Innate Realm cultivator has appeared!"
Amid the tense atmosphere, one person felt extremely fearful.
The middle-aged man with Phoenix Eyes didn't dare to move an inch under the eaves.
"Sure enough, it's not the right time to enjoy the commotion. Why did I get curious? If I had left earlier, none of this would've happened!"
The middle-aged man with Phoenix Eyes lamented in his mind.
Currently trapped between two Innate Realm powers, he found himself in a dilemma with no way to escape.
He didn't dare dream that the two Innate Realm masters hadn't noticed him.
His only hope was that they would respect his status as County Lord and not make things difficult for him.
"Wei Shanhai, you really aren't dead!"
Wang Cangyi's expression remained calm as he looked at the Wei Family Patriarch and spoke slowly.
"Pah! I, Wei Shanhai, have a long life ahead; you deceitful coward will die before I ever will!"
The Wei Family Patriarch, Wei Shanhai, spat in contempt.
"Hmph, even if you're not dead, your central veins have been hit by my Sword Qi; you probably still haven't fully expelled it, have you? With your Primordial Qi greatly damaged, how much of your full strength can you really wield now?"
Wang Cangyi said with a smile.
"I'm not sure how much strength I can use, but to kill a treacherous person like you who speaks honeyed words but harbors malice, it should be more than enough," Wei Shanhai retorted with disdain.
"Really? Then let's see you try."
Wang Cangyi lifted his arm, and a white Sword Qi began to condense in his palm. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
"Not afraid of you!"
Wei Shanhai's gaze intensified, and a Sword Light also emerged in his hand.
As the aura of the two Innate Realm powers collided, the Martial Artists below suddenly found breathing difficult, their hearts oppressively heavy as if they were about to meet their end at any moment, a profound discomfort spreading among them.
An overwhelming sense of fear arose within everyone.
They could sense that if these two Innate Realms started to battle here, they would likely suffer collateral damage.
"The two of you, are you sure you want to fight here within the city?"
That's when a plain voice sounded.
