C404 One Sword Defeat Martial King Lower(2)

Woo Zhengyang didn't hesitate to summon the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, but he refrained from making the first move, allowing everyone to witness its formidable defensive power. The crowd observed Liao Qinghua's frenzy and Zhengyang's calm demeanor. Little did they know, beneath Zhengyang's composed exterior, his heart was bleeding with every attack Qinghua launched, draining the spiritual energy of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Fortunately, Qinghua struck in time; otherwise, Zhengyang would have had to act directly, diminishing the Hall's intimidating presence.

The phrase "Defeating you with one sword is enough" and "It's a pity I couldn't keep the Hidden Heaven Bag" naturally stemmed from this situation. Zhengyang delivered the first line with unwavering confidence, but he was somewhat distracted when he uttered the second, due to an unexpected turn of events. With that last strike, Zhengyang had mobilized all the spiritual energy from the Hall's energy pool. Even so, he knew he could only hope to defeat Qinghua.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the golden vortex was activated again, spinning faster. With the vortex's enhancement, Zhengyang's control over the forces of nature surged, leaving Qinghua momentarily helpless, suspended in mid-air.

Unfortunately, Liao Qinghua, being an expert at the Martial King level, had a secret treasure for protection. After being struck by the Ice Crystal Fire Sword's blade, he used this treasure, sacrificing it to save his life. Luckily, the treasure was wielded with his left hand, leaving his right, which held the sword, unprotected. The Profound Heaven Fire Power burned his right hand, causing him to drop the Earth Blade. Facing life and death, Liao Qinghua didn't dare retrieve the Earth Blade and fled in panic.

The Ice Crystal Fire Hall could float and move, but its speed was no match for even the Shape Gathering Stage, let alone a Martial King expert. Moreover, the spiritual energy in the pool was nearly exhausted, leaving Woo Zhengyang to watch as Liao Qinghua escaped.

Woo Zhengyang put away the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, picked up the Earth Blade, and walked to the entrance of the Profound Heaven Sect, where everyone was gathered. "Uncle Fu, this sword is quite good. You don't have a suitable weapon, so use this for now!" he said, handing the Earth Blade to Uncle Fu.

"Thank you, young master!" Uncle Fu expressed his gratitude, taking the Earth Blade, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Let's go... let's go... let's head back. We've been preparing for this celebration feast for a long time," Nie Fengyu said with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers were puzzled for quite a while until someone finally caught on. Could it be that Liao Qinghua had been outmaneuvered? Given Woo Zhengyang's formidable strength, it was entirely possible.

If this were true, the ambitions of the Profound Heaven Sect were clear. The name "Profound Heaven Sect" flashed through many minds...

However, those close to Woo Zhengyang knew that Nie Fengyu's remark was intentional. If Woo Zhengyang were truly powerful enough to be unfazed by a Martial King expert, they wouldn't have been so conflicted just days ago.

Back at the Profound Heaven Sect, Woo Zhengyang briefly recounted his journey to the Fallen Sun Country and then brought out the Fallen Sun Tower. After witnessing the might of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, everyone placed great importance on the Fallen Sun Tower, which also had auxiliary functions.

With the skills of Uncle Fu and Nie Fengyu, the tower could be wielded to its fullest potential. The two wasted no time in trying it out. Nie Fengyu's exceptional talent shone through once again, as he mastered the Fallen Sun Tower in the same timeframe as Jing'er and the other three women, surpassing even Woo Zhengyang.

As for the others, they also entered the Fallen Sun Tower. Woo Zhengyang's recent journey had been fruitful; the training resources of the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country were all placed within the tower, with martial arts techniques even more comprehensive than those of the Profound Heaven Sect.

In this critical moment, the Profound Heaven Sect had eliminated the distinction between inner and outer members. Everyone was provided with martial arts techniques and even rare treasures to strengthen the sect as much as possible.

Woo Zhengyang and the four women, including Bing'er, didn't enter the Fallen Sun Tower. Even though the Profound Heaven Sect's mountain-protecting array was activated, its defense was quite weak. It could be breached by someone at the Reality Condensing Stage, so someone needed to keep an eye on it at all times.

Woo Zhengyang also planned to utilize the Fallen Sun Tower's defensive power. The protective shield at the Fallen Sun Sect had given him some trouble before; its strength was far beyond ordinary defensive formations. While it might not be very effective against a Martial King expert, it was still an extra layer of security, better than nothing.

Since it was the most crucial defense, it naturally needed to be placed at the core. Woo Zhengyang and the four women carried the Fallen Sun Tower toward the center of the Profound Heaven Sect...
