Chapter 142: The Arrogant Wang Baobao
Wang Baobao looked at the people of Wudang and could not help but chuckle softly.
After the Wudang crowd appeared, although he felt some doubts in his heart, he was full of confidence in his own strength and in the Mongol-Yuan Army. He took the initiative to step forward and said to the Wudang group:
“I am Wang Baobao, the heir apparent of the Ruyang Prince’s Manor of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Today, I have come to Wudang with only one purpose—that is to annihilate Wudang!
I, Wang Baobao, do not accept surrender. If you wish to preserve your lives, then struggle with all your might!”
After saying this, he burst into loud laughter, his expression crazed, as if he had not placed Zhang Sanfeng and the others in his eyes at all.
As Wang Baobao’s words fell, Song Yuanqiao and the other Wudang disciples roared in anger:
“Madman! How dare a bandit speak so arrogantly!”
“My Wudang is the orthodox Daoist sect—how could we allow you to run rampant!”
“With Grandmaster here, today we will surely make your Mongol-Yuan Army come and never return!”
The angry shouts of the Wudang disciples rose one after another, instantly suppressing Wang Baobao’s loud laughter.
Hearing these rebukes, Wang Baobao did not care in the slightest. He stared coldly at Zhang Sanfeng’s group and said:
“I will give you one chance now. If you are willing to bind your hands and surrender, I can still grant you a quick death. If you insist on resisting, then do not blame this heir for being ruthless!”
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Wang Baobao’s arrogant appearance, stepped forward, and said coldly, “You want our Wudang to surrender without resistance? Dream on! Wang Baobao, whatever abilities you have, just use them. This old Daoist will take them all!”
Wang Baobao said with a sinister expression, “Good! Since that is the case, Zhang Zhenren, do not blame me for bullying you. This time, I, Wang Baobao, will personally make a move to meet you! If you can defeat me, I may consider sparing your life; if not, today you will be buried here!”
At this moment, Wang Baobao did not let the Mongol-Yuan Army swarm forward.
The recent explosive increase in strength had caused his heart to swell with arrogance, and he was eager to personally test the strength of this world’s number-one martial artist.
Moreover, if he could personally kill Zhang Sanfeng, it would greatly strike the confidence of the Wudang crowd, weaken their resistance, and reduce the casualties of the army under his command.
This time, aside from, he also coveted Shaolin and the Ming Cult, preparing to annihilate Shaolin and the Ming Cult after destroying Wudang.
He intended to absorb the strength of the entire martial world to achieve his own transcendence.
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng was slightly startled.
He had not expected Wang Baobao to dare propose a one-on-one duel, but he also had no reason to refuse.
Immediately, he said coldly, “In that case, let this old Daoist experience the strength of the Ruyang Prince’s heir firsthand~”
Before the words finished, his figure flashed, appearing ahead like a phantom.
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng’s movement, Wang Baobao was shocked inwardly.
From this single move alone, he knew that Zhang Sanfeng’s strength was extraordinary.
He could not help but think to himself: Zhang Sanfeng truly lived up to being the number-one martial artist.
However, at this moment, Wang Baobao was extremely confident in his own strength. He showed no fear at all, and with a flash of his figure, he also leaped into the arena, his speed not inferior to Zhang Sanfeng in the slightest.
Seeing this, Lu Yu at the rear could not help but exclaim, “I told you there was something wrong with this Wang Baobao! How could someone so young have such profound inner power? I suspect he is very likely a transmigrator!”
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. “Indeed! I also think he is a transmigrator. But how did he reach such a level of strength in such a short time? His inner power is so deep that it is not weaker than Zhang Zhenren’s.”
Lu Yu sneered. “What else could it be? It must be the help of a system within his body! I just wonder what kind of system it is, to be able to raise Wang Baobao’s strength to this level in such a short time in this low-martial world.”
Lu Xueqi also focused her gaze intently. She planned to make her move only after Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Baobao finished their great battle.
After all, to quickly resolve so many Mongol-Yuan troops, only her intervention could achieve a swift and decisive victory.
Among everyone present, the strongest was Lu Xueqi. Next was Xiong Ba, while Xiao Yan and the others were slightly weaker. After obtaining the inheritance from Wang Yuyan’s world, Xiaolongnü and Huang Rong had also grown rapidly in strength.
At this moment, Wang Baobao looked at Zhang Sanfeng with extreme confidence, with even a hint of disdain in his eyes.
After all, he was a transmigrator, born inherently superior.
How could these natives compare with him?
Even if this native had once been the number-one under heaven, so what?
In the eyes of a transmigrator like him, they were nothing more than ants.
Then, Wang Baobao no longer hesitated, and his entire inner power erupted violently.
With a thunderous boom, a terrifying surge of inner power burst forth, shaking the ground and sending out a chilling, violent shockwave that tore fine cracks across the earth.
Behind Wang Baobao, the Xuanming Elders and others who had originally prepared to rescue him in a critical moment felt this terrifying pressure and immediately turned pale, rapidly retreating backward.
If they were even slightly closer to Wang Baobao, they felt a heavy oppression in their chests, and breathing became extremely difficult—this was caused by the enormous disparity in strength between the two sides.
At this moment, the Xuanming Elders looked at Wang Baobao in extreme shock, with flashes of horror appearing in their eyes from time to time.
Wang Baobao’s previously revealed cultivation had already been extremely deep, even able to defeat them;
but in merely a short period of time, his strength had undergone a world-shaking change.
They felt that if they were to fight Wang Baobao now, they would probably not even be able to withstand a single move.
Standing before Wang Baobao, Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly after sensing this terrifying momentum.
He discovered that Wang Baobao’s strength far exceeded expectations. His inner power was extremely deep, but it was rather scattered, as if it had not been cultivated by himself, and the opponent did not know how to use it very well.
At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng sensed a force of extreme yang within Wang Baobao’s inner power, giving him a very familiar feeling.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Sanfeng spoke, “I did not expect that you would have such fortune, to actually find the long-lost Nine Yang Divine Art.”
Hearing Zhang Sanfeng’s words, Wang Baobao showed no surprise at all.
After all, the Nine Yang Divine Art had once been cultivated by Zhang Sanfeng’s master, Master Jueyuan, and Zhang Sanfeng himself possessed a portion of it. Thus, it was only natural that Zhang Sanfeng could recognize it.
Wang Baobao said in a low voice, “That’s right—it is the Nine Yang Divine Art. Zhang Zhenren, after sensing my current might, are you willing to submit?”
Zhang Sanfeng calmly shook his head. “Although your strength is great, it is still not enough to make this old Daoist submit.”
Having said that, Zhang Sanfeng no longer hesitated, and his entire momentum erupted instantly.
Terrifying inner power surged and roared, instantly forcing back the pressure Wang Baobao had unleashed, forming a situation of evenly matched opposition in the blink of an eye.
Wang Baobao’s inner power was surging and violent, and quite scattered, but his overall momentum was indeed slightly stronger than Zhang Sanfeng’s.
Indeed, Wang Baobao’s inner power was stronger, but Zhang Sanfeng’s inner power was extremely condensed and smooth. In every movement, there was not the slightest leakage—this was a manifestation of having his inner power under absolute control.
Lu Yu and Xiao Yan looked at the two confronting figures in the arena and could not help asking the others beside them:
“Who do you think has a higher chance of winning this battle?”
Xiong Ba sized up Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Baobao and immediately said, “That old Daoist Zhang has a higher chance of winning. Although this Wang Baobao has extremely powerful inner power and the cultivation method he practices should also be quite good, he relied on external forces to raise his strength, which caused his control over his own inner power to be imperfect.
Moreover, I suspect that the martial arts he practices are also inferior to the old Daoist Zhang’s, so I bet that the old Daoist Zhang has the greater chance of victory.”
Lu Yu beside him also nodded. “I also think that Zhang Sanfeng has a higher chance of winning.However, if Zhang Sanfeng wants to defeat this Wang Baobao, it will probably take some time. Although this Wang Baobao seems to have raised his cultivation through external forces, his inner power is truly terrifying—perhaps even above Zhang Sanfeng’s.”
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng did not hear Xiao Yan and the others’ conversation at all.
After his momentum erupted, he said calmly, “Wang Baobao, make your move.”
But when Wang Baobao saw Zhang Sanfeng release his own momentum, his expression changed drastically.
The confidence he had earlier could not help but turn stiff—he had not expected Zhang Sanfeng to be so powerful to this extent订。
One had to know that his current realm was achieved by gathering the inner power of hundreds or even thousands of martial artists.
Yet Zhang Sanfeng, relying on the strength of a single person, could actually contend with him, and in the overall momentum clash, he was only slightly at a disadvantage. How could this not shock Wang Baobao?
However, after the shock, what Wang Baobao felt even more was excitement.
If he could defeat Zhang Sanfeng and absorb his inner power, to what level would his strength grow? Just thinking about it made Wang Baobao feel exhilarated.
