Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil

"Is this the Flowing Cloud Secret Technique of the Zhou family?"

Someone gasped in surprise.

The Zhou family possesses a secret technique, Flowing Cloud.

When the Half-step War Emperor, Zhou Lingtian, employs it, he mobilizes threads of Heaven and Earth Power between heaven and earth.

Encircling him is a swirling mist, capable of being both firm and soft.

When firm, it acts as a whip of tempered steel, capable of breaking metal.

When soft, it turns into threads, wrapping around everything, with incredible strength.

"Boom!"

Zhou Lingtian's strike plunged Iron Hand into the ground, creating a pit over a meter deep.

Zhou Family Master Zhou Lingtian, with just a single move, swept away the unchallenged Iron Hand.

He demonstrated the terrifying and unmatched strength of a Half-step War Emperor.

"Is this the power of a Half-step War Emperor? Then how terrifying must a real War Emperor Warrior be?"

More than one person trembled inwardly.

Even Zhou Qilin, Lady Lan Xiang, and others widened their eyes.

Half-step War Emperor Martial Artists are exceptionally rare, let alone War Emperor Warriors.

In the Central Sect World of the Ancient Martial World, even counting Half-step War Emperor Martial Artists is a task, and which of them would act lightly?

Masters like Iron Hand, who can slay a High-level King Warrior as easily as killing a chicken, are already extremely rare.

But even that level of strength pales before that of a Half-step War Emperor.

Iron Hand, though powerful, was sent spinning like a top in the hands of a Half-step War Emperor Martial Artist.

"Roar!"

Iron Hand crashed through a wall, charging again like a massive tank.

His skin bore the phantom of divine patterns, transforming into the form of a demon god with a tiger's head and a man's body, roaring to the heavens, the imprint of claws in his hands forming into a fierce and terrifying tiger claw.

If this claw struck true, it could penetrate several inches of steel plate.

"Why bother? You will never understand how terrifying it is to reach the realm of a Half-step War Emperor."

Zhou Lingtian, hands clasped behind his back, issued a reminder once more.

He glanced at Ye Qingfeng and Iron Hand with a trace of disdain.

All around him, the cloud energy surged, filling an area several meters wide, myriad white clouds converging into threads, layering up like a giant egg.

In the end, from the outside, Zhou Lingtian was no longer visible, only a gigantic white gas egg remained.

"Puff!"

The Tiger Demon Claw struck the surface of the white gas egg, penetrating half a foot only to advance no further, Iron Hand forced to rip away strands of white thread in frustration.

But as these threads were torn, they reverted to cloud energy, wrapping around Iron Hand.

In the end, the more threads Iron Hand tore apart, the more cloud energy there was, surrounding him in numerous clouds and mist, as if trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape no matter how he struggled.

"The Zhou Family Secret Method, Flowing Cloud, can be both firm and soft. That previous whip was firmness, and now it is softness..."

Su Yaoshi said hoarsely, thinking that if the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley hadn't entered closed-door cultivation for two years to break through, they would have been dwarfed by the Zhou Family.

Even now, it's uncertain if the Valley Master could surpass Zhou Family Master Zhou Lingtian!

Against a cross-training master like Iron Hand, using softness to overcome strength is the best method.

He had thought he had the game sewn up, could control everything, but nearly got overturned by Ye Qingfeng, and it was only with the Zhou Family Master stepping in personally that Iron Hand was subdued.

But like this, Medicine King Valley might have to bid farewell to the elixir recipe entirely.

"A Half-step War Emperor is indeed too strong; I wonder if my brother can rival him."

Lan Xiang's eyes were full of dread.

The manipulation of Spiritual Power below the Half-step War Emperor realm, and the manipulation of Heaven and Earth Power above, these techniques border on the mythical.

They have already transcended ordinary human imagination.

This is why a Half-step War Emperor can already dominate a region with unmatched supremacy.

"The Valley Master has broken through, and though uncertain to defeat Zhou Lingtian, he is absolutely not to be feared."

Su Yaoshi frowned slightly.

He knew some of the inside story of the Valley Master's rapid breakthrough to become a Half-step War Emperor Martial Artist.

At the level of the Medicine King Valley Master and the Zhou Family Master,

they wouldn't easily make a move, having already reached the peak of the martial world, why risk everything for trivial matters?

At this time, Iron Hand was tightly wrapped in white threads, finally collapsing as if ensnared in cotton.

"Now, do you see the might of a Half-step War Emperor and your own insignificance?"

Zhou Lingtian flicked his sleeve, as though he'd only performed a trivial act, turning to look at Ye Qingfeng.

Not only him, but everyone's gaze was fixated on Ye Qingfeng.

Zhou Qinglong resumed his calm composure, Zhou Qilin revealed schadenfreude, Su Yaoshi shook his head in resignation, and Lady Lan Xiang had a trace of pity in her eyes.

Ye Qingfeng indeed was formidable; under the siege of so many masters, he remained composed, nearly turning the tide single-handedly.

But now, with the Zhou Family Master having made his move, unless an equivalent Half-step War Emperor Martial Artist comes to aid him, who can rescue him?

And in such a vast world, how many Half-step War Emperors can there be?

Calling them rare is no exaggeration.

'It's a pity indeed, the Martial Gathering has just begun, yet you face your demise, how can you escape your fate now with the Zhou Family Master personally against you?' Lan Xiang sighed.

In the eyes of the others, Ye Qingfeng was already a caught turtle; surrender was his only option.

"Yes, the Martial Gathering has just begun, and I haven't even seen her, nor have the Tang family appeared, it's truly boring..."

"However, a Half-step War Emperor is just that!"

But, Ye Qingfeng sighed lightly.

He didn't want to expose his identity so early.

...

"Sister Feng Huang, please step aside." Zhou Xinyu's face was full of anxiety; she could sense something was wrong.

From the morning, Zhou Fenghuang, normally as elusive as a Divine Dragon, suddenly appeared at her quarters, engaging in a heartfelt conversation.

They talked the entire morning, and Zhou Xinyu, being exceptionally intelligent, quickly sensed something was amiss.

"Sister Feng Huang, tell me the truth, are you planning to deal with him? Is this the Master's idea?" Zhou Xinyu's face grew cold.

"Xinyu, this is the decision of the family. We, as members of the Zhou family, must follow the family's orders." The gentle and elegant Zhou Fenghuang sighed softly.

"You just handed me over to Ye Qingfeng, and now you plan to turn against him, what place does that leave me?" Zhou Xinyu let out a bitter smile.

Like a swan unable to escape its fate.

"Don't worry, once we obtain the elixir recipe from Ye Qingfeng, he will be of no use. The family will arrange a good marriage for you then." Zhou Fenghuang caressed the young girl's delicate face, coaxing softly.

"Sister Feng Huang, you haven't seen how formidable Iron Hand is..."

Zhou Xinyu cooled down, speaking gravely as the situation seemed inevitable.

"You may not know, but Su Yaoshi of Medicine King Valley has already arrived, bringing along a great master, and the Tu Family has also come with a Cross Training Master, even Niu Motian, the High-level War King of the Fire Control Niu Family, is here. Will so many masters not be able to handle one Iron Hand?"

Zhou Fenghuang smiled confidently, it seemed there was nothing in Lingnan she believed beyond the Zhou family's control.
