The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 392: Sorry, the Divine Sword Realm Is Just That Arrogant

Ye Qingtian sat in the chair with his eyes closed the entire time, while Shen Huamo smiled faintly and shrugged indifferently.

Elder Wu lavishing praise on the Patriarch Zhou was unexpected to Shen Huamo.

This so-called Patriarch Zhou’s strength was really ordinary, merely a Martial King.

At this moment, even Patriarch Zhou had no interest in looking at Shen Huamo. He picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said, "Does Elder Wu know what a Divine Artifact is?"

"Divine Artifact? I’ve heard of it."

Elder Wu frowned slightly.

Beside him, Wu Bing trembled upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Is Patriarch Zhou talking about a Divine Artifact that can enhance a martial artist’s strength?"

Zhou Batian nodded and said, "Elder Hong comes from the Divine Sword Realm, and that Domain Lord is an Artifact Refiner!"

"The Divine Sword Realm is stronger than a typical Hidden Sect or Yellow Level Sect because they have the aid of Divine Artifacts, greatly enhancing their strength."

"Bingbing, how do you know these things?"

Elder Wu looked at Wu Bing with mild surprise.

Wu Bing wore a bitter smile, "Grandfather, I’m the director at the Heaven-tier Gambling House, which is the richest source of information. I’ve heard people say that martial artists can double their strength with a Divine Artifact!"

"You’re right, having a Divine Artifact certainly boosts a martial artist’s strength significantly compared to those of the same level. Divine Artifacts are truly valuable items! Even in the Huaxia Martial Arts Realm, few possess them."

Zhou Batian spoke with yearning.

Elder Wu was half-skeptical, seemingly hearing tales of celestial wonders: "Patriarch Zhou, might you be exaggerating a bit? Can a single Divine Artifact really double one’s strength?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Batian chuckled, his expression full of arrogance.

Then, he slowly asked, "Elder Wu, isn’t the stone statue in your courtyard made of meteorite, impervious to any weapon?"

He pointed to the statue in the courtyard and asked.

"Yes."

Elder Wu responded.

Zhou Batian then laughed, receiving a long sword handed over by the Zhou Family, and swung it lightly.

Bang!

Once he stored the long sword away, the hall fell into dead silence!

After a long time, the sound of people sucking in cold air could be heard!

In the courtyard, the stone statue lay shattered!

Completely shattered, with pieces scattered across the yard!

"Is this... the power of a Divine Artifact?"

Elder Wu widened his eyes in disbelief!

Wu Bing also wiped his forehead of cold sweat, his mouth shaped like an O.

Just sitting beside him, Ye Qingtian observed quietly and shook his head.

The sword Zhou Batian held couldn’t really be considered a Divine Artifact; it only had a trace of Divine Power.

Then an image floated in Ye Qingtian’s mind of someone wielding a Ninth-Grade Divine Artifact, creating chaos, which was truly earth-shattering.

When wielded, storms rise with clouds surging, wind and sand whirl.

Mountains flattened!

The seas severed!

In comparison, Zhou Batian’s so-called Divine Artifact was far inferior!

But Elder Wu thought Zhou Batian’s weapon was a true Divine Artifact, and he complimented in shock, "Patriarch Zhou possesses heavenly power and now has the aid of a Divine Artifact; even that damned Elder Hong will surely bow and admit defeat!"

After speaking, he handed over a contract.

Elder Wu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Patriarch Zhou, this represents one-third of the Wu Family’s assets, worth a billion. Once the affair is settled, I will also offer the Wu Family’s Treasure Map, which you must have heard about. Even the Young Master Shen from the Divine Sword Realm is eyeing it!"

Upon hearing this, and after glancing at the contract, Zhou Batian nodded, wearing a satisfied smile.

This time, he was assisting not for money, but for the Wu Family’s Treasure Map!

Rumor had it that a shocking Divine Object was hidden in the Wu Family’s Treasure Map, and obtaining it would give him the strength to compete with Yellow-level Hidden Sect.

Such an opportunity, once in a lifetime.

Thus, Zhou Batian recklessly risked offending the Divine Sword Realm.

Shen Huamo sneered and shook his head; it seemed that the opponent wasn’t aware the Wu Family’s Treasure Map was just a fragment, nor knew the other two pieces were with her master.

Zhou Batian naturally became the focus of the venue, with Elder Wu, Wu Bing, and the entire Wu Family treating him akin to a father!

Zhou Batian’s Divine Sword indeed impressed them!

While Ye Qingtian and Shen Huamo were ignored like passersby.

Not long after, a Wu Family member came to report that Elder Hong had reached the Wu Family’s doorsteps, urging Elder Wu to meet him!

"Patriarch Zhou..."

Elder Wu became a bit anxious.

"Don’t panic. One man comes, we defeat one. Two come, we defeat both."

Zhou Batian said proudly.

Then Zhou Batian selected a few Zhou Family members, plus Elder Wu and Wu Bing, totaling eight.

"Patriarch Zhou, how about bringing Miss Shen along too, since she does have some strength."

Upon seeing that Patriarch Zhou didn’t intend for Shen Huamo to go, Elder Wu suggested.

"Elder Wu, with her level of cultivation and no Divine Artifact, she’d just be getting killed! She wouldn’t even withstand a single move from them!"

Zhou Batian frowned.

Elder Wu was a bit troubled, looking at Shen Huamo awkwardly.

Shen Huamo smiled faintly: "You and Bingbing need me, protecting you is my duty. That worthless Elder Hong, in my view, is just garbage!"

"Young lady, given your cultivation, it’s too arrogant to say such things!"

Zhou Batian snorted coldly.

Elder Wu still insisted on Shen Huamo going because he could rely on Elder Hong to get rid of her!

Shen Huamo always coveted the Wu Family’s Treasure Map; if Zhou Batian defeated Elder Hong, she’d persist in entanglement, disgustingly upsetting Zhou Batian.

Moreover, this woman dared make his granddaughter a maid, an insult to the Wu Family!

"Very well, let her see what true experts are." Zhou Batian scoffed disdainfully.

Soon, they headed to the door, a burst of fighting erupted, followed by a dreadful silence!

Everyone was stunned, looking toward the entrance, only hearing the sound of steady footsteps calmly entering through the door.

Elder Wu swallowed hard; all his strategic top members were stationed outside!

Instantly, they fell beneath Elder Hong’s sword!

At this moment, Elder Wu realized he had underestimated Elder Hong’s strength.

Then, a young man leisurely walked into the Wu Family Mansion.

This person appeared to be around thirty, but on the right side of his face was a sword etched, stretching from the cheek to the forehead.

This was the emblem of the Divine Sword Realm!

He looked exceptionally fierce!

Could this young man be the Elder of the Divine Sword Realm?

"Elder Wu, you dare to attack my people from the Divine Sword Realm, you’re quite bold."

Hong Zhong said.

Though Elder Wu was the patriarch, he quickly calmed his inner shock and said coldly, "Hong, are you here seeking death?"

"Seeking death? Old man, I am not here seeking death."

Hong Zhong replied with an eerie tone.

"Then what are you here for?"

Elder Wu asked.

"Nothing, extermination!"

Hong Zhong said with a half-smile, a ruthless glint flashing through his eyes.

"Your Divine Sword Realm is too arrogant!"

Wu Bing shouted angrily.

"Sorry, people from the Divine Sword Realm are just that arrogant!"

"I presume you are Wu Family’s young lady. A servant from my Divine Sword Realm has taken a liking to you; if you agree to be our dog, I might spare you."

Hong Zhong said disdainfully.

Elder Wu kept a stoic face, signaling Wu Bing with his eyes, who glared at Hong Zhong before restraining her anger.

"Elder Hong, must our business be settled through violence?"

Elder Wu tried asking one last time.

"Hand over the Treasure Map, have your entire Wu Family commit mutual suicide for atonement; only then will I let it go."

Hong Zhong sneered.

"Hong, don’t push too far; just because you have a Divine Artifact, what’s there to be arrogant about!"

Elder Wu said in a deep voice.

"You know about Divine Artifacts?"

Hong Zhong looked at Elder Wu with disdain, snorting coldly, "Since you know I possess a Divine Artifact, why aren’t you obediently kneeling down? Let me tell you, the people you’ve brought aren’t even qualified to carry my shoes!"

"Hong, you are too arrogant; this world, you’re not the only one with a Divine Artifact!"

Then Elder Wu laughed heartily and snorted coldly, "Patriarch Zhou, it seems we’ll have to ask you to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!"
