I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1685 - 1684: Fierce Battle

"Fei Xu, what do you intend to do? Are you trying to provoke a war between our two great families?" came a cold shout from within the array just as it was broken open.

The smoke dispersed, revealing the scene inside.

There stood the Zhen Tai Family’s forces, led by the Half-step Mahayana Old Monster, coldly positioned at the entrance. Each one clutching magical artifacts, clad in armor, fully armed and ready for battle at any moment.

"Hmph! Zhenming Shangren, do you think the Zhen Tai Family’s reputation is so great that it can scare my Divine Ape Family? If you’re wise, you’d better cower in your den. Perhaps then, my Divine Ape Family will spare your miserable lives! If you dare to intrude onto the territory of my Divine Ape Family and cause havoc, we’ll kill each one of you that comes! To be honest, my Divine Ape Family really looks down on you Zhen Tai Family brats! We’ve long wanted to wipe you out, but you cowardly hide in your family’s forbidden grounds and refuse to come out!" Fei Xu said coldly.

"Silence! Fei Xu, you are too presumptuous! Do you really think I, the elder, have no means to deal with you? If you anger me enough, I don’t mind leaving all of you here!!!" Zhenming Shangren said, his face dark.

"Is that so? If you have the ability, then bring it on!" Fei Xu said dismissively.

Behind her stood more than a hundred elite members of the Divine Ape Family. Truth be told, even though Zhenming Shangren is a Half-step Mahayana, he was not considered a real threat.

"Hmph! In light of us all being descendants of the Titan Giant Ape, I’ll give you one last chance! If you leave now, I’ll let bygones be bygones and spare your lives. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I’ll make sure you stay here!!!" Zhenming Shangren said menacingly.

"Ridiculous! You think you can scare me? Sacrificing your life to keep the members of the Divine Ape Family here? Who do you think you are? Worth your weight in gold?" Fei Xu mocked.

With a cold wave of her hand, she issued an order.

"Everyone, slaughter this group of Zhen Tai Family animals! As for that fool Zhenming Shangren, leave him to me," Fei Xu instructed.

"Yes, Lord Fei Xu!" the members of the Divine Ape Family responded respectfully.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!

In an instant, rays of colored light shot out, unleashing tremendous power as they viciously attacked the forces of the Zhen Tai Family.

As for Fei Xu, she stepped forward in a flash, charging swiftly towards Zhenming Shangren.

As she charged, she swiftly formed a Magic Formula and shouted, "Slash!"

As her voice faded, the cone-shaped magical artifact in the sky wavered and shot out a hundred-zhang large fiery red light, fiercely attacking Zhenming Shangren.

"Damn it! Since you refuse to listen, even if it costs me my life today, I’ll bring you down with me! Attack, all of you, slaughter them all! Killing one is enough, killing two is a gain, even in death, we’ll drag down the Divine Ape Family beasts with us!" Zhenming Shangren ordered, his face grim.

"Yes, Great Elder!" the Zhen Tai Family forces responded respectfully.

Facing the charge of the Divine Ape Family disciples, each one cast Magic Formulas with various fierce means, attacking the opposing Divine Ape Family disciples.

Zhenming Shangren didn’t stay idle either, as terrifying anger erupted from within him.

If it weren’t for these Divine Ape Family forces causing trouble, it wouldn’t have taken long to break the restrictions outside the cave and obtain the Titan Giant Ape’s essence blood. Once they had the Titan Giant Ape’s essence blood, they could use the Bloodline Power within it, alongside the family’s Secret Technique, and perhaps, return to their roots, elevating their bloodline to that of the Titan Giant Ape’s height.

If they awakened their Innate Divine Ability during the bloodline enhancement process, it would mark the beginning of the family’s glorious era.

But now, all of this was destroyed by those Divine Ape Family beasts.

Even though the Zhen Tai Family had declined, and could no longer compare to their glory days, the saying goes: a camel dying of hunger is still larger than a horse; even in death, they’ll drag them down together.

"Five Elements Heaven Wheel—Slash!" Zhenming Shangren shouted lowly.

With a single hand, he summoned a Five Elements Heaven Wheel bearing the colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, released its terrifying power. A hundred-zhang large glow of the Five Elements burst from the Five Elements Heaven Wheel, shooting ferociously at the fiery red cone attacking from the opponent.

Boom!!

The two forces collided, a fierce attack meeting another, producing a violent shockwave, frenziedly overturning towards the surroundings.

Luckily, the forces around managed to evade swiftly, else even in the face of such a terrifying shockwave, they would’ve been severely damaged if not dead.

Numerous steps back, Fei Xu finally stabilized herself in mid-air.

Zhenming Shangren, however, stood unmoved in mid-air. From their initial clash, it was evident that Zhenming Shangren had a slight upper hand; after all, the terrifying strength of a Half-step Mahayana was not easily withstood.

"Zhenming Shangren! I didn’t expect your strength to have increased so terrifyingly in such a short time! To have actually refined the Five Elements Heaven Wheel, but if these are your only means, then your entire Zhen Tai Family will be left here today!" Fei Xu said, her killing intent surging.

"You arrogant widow! Continuously talking about destroying my Zhen Tai Family? Die, you!" Zhenming Shangren erupted in full rage.

With a furious gesture, rampant Spiritual Power poured into the Five Elements Heaven Wheel. The Five Elements Heaven Wheel spun rapidly in mid-air, the colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth cascaded continuously, the power so immense that even space itself trembled and couldn’t withstand it, reverberating with a ghastly shudder.

"Go!" Zhenming Shangren roared.

The Five Elements Heaven Wheel spun, and the five-colored radiance fell from the sky, rushing down towards Fei Xu.

"Hmph! It’s said that the five-colored radiance from the Five Elements Heaven Wheel can shatter all treasures in the world! I want to see if the Five Elements Heaven Wheel in the hands of this beast can unleash such power!" Fei Xu said, her face darkened.

She despised being called a widow the most, and this term had always been a trigger for her. Since Zhenming Shangren dared call her a widow, he had to die! Not even the Heavenly King Father could change that.
