-

Despite having laid in wait for a long time one and a half kilometres from Wazi, Gewu remained calm and collected. While his appearance changed, his character hadnt: he still hated the world, and he was still ever the schemer. Whether it was because he was confident in his ability to remain undetected or because he knew Nieyao well, he was cautious for a reason.

He absorbed all of Baidizis blood, effectively converting himself into a humanoid Six Evils who could command mutated beasts. Absorbing Chichens blood granted him the ability to wield fire and recover at a ridiculously fast rate. In addition, Chichens rapid regeneration ability would render Ming Feizhens power pointless. Recreating a new meridian system was possible, but it would take years to complete the extensive project.

Gewu was in no rush to rebuild a new meridian system for his strength increased several folds each time he absorbed the blood of Pangus sons. In essence, their might replaced the necessity for internal energy. Being equipped with their special abilities came with drawbacks, though.

Unlike the hot energy that Yang Realm internal energy produced, Chichens flames were real flames. Gewu wasnt Pangus son; he didnt have the same robust body that could withstand such a high temperature. As a result, he would burn himself before he could burn his target. Chichen possessed a body of molten. Even Baidizis tough body was meaningless because it wasnt heat resistant, let alone Gewus scaleless body.

Gewu was nowhere near as strong as he formerly was, never mind confronting two Divine Realm adepts. The only way hed have a chance at beating them was stealing Wazis lightning manifestation ability and strength - at least he believed that would be enough to rival Divine Realm adepts might.

Wazis abrupt inactivity could only mean it had fallen in battle. That being the case, those involved in the fight had to be worn out. When else would be a better time for Gewu to make his move Nevertheless, as soon as he stepped out of his hiding spot, he heard from behind, “Done hiding”

Gewu shuddered. He had lived long enough to know nobody sat around waiting for his enemy when he knew where his enemy was hiding unless he was absolutely certain he could defeat his opponent. He looked over his shoulder to see a tall man sitting on a stack of wood. The flute dangling from his sash gave away his identity even if he veiled his face.

“Beussent” Gewu rasped.

Beussent frowned. “This appearance… is your life-long goal”

Had it been anyone else, Gewu wouldve been fretting as hed definitely be facing a tough opponent. Heisina Tribe members had a secret technique that they can use to identify fellow clansmen. Those who were advanced can even identify them with pinpoint accuracy. The latter was reserved for female shamans, but an exception was made for the clan chief. Plus, Beussent had a hobby of researching such unique skills.

Gewu revealed his sharp teeth when he grinned. “You didnt call for help despite detecting my presence. Does that mean youre confident you can beat now that Im not in good shape”

“Am I to understand youre implying that your current state is consideredgood”

Honestly, Gewu didnt quite understand Beussent even though he had been monitoring Beussent since the latter was a child. All signs and anecdotes pointed to him being someone who didnt like to compete, yet he started to retaliate against Baimu. He was supposed to be calm, yet he started a fight he had no chance of winning. He inherited Shaman Monarchs special abilities, yet he never utilised them once. Had he made use of them, Gewu wouldve been ousted long ago. Like a child who never learns, he continued challenging Nieyao. Gewus hideous transformation was worth just a subtle frown. Gewu always felt miffed as Beussent seemed to always be paying attention to something different to him.

“Good enough or not, I dont know. What I do know is that a hunger pang must be satiated.”

Jaws parted, Gewu launched himself forward, aiming to bite into Beussents shoulder. He had enough strength to crush Beussents shoulder bones with his teeth and could potentially take off a chunk of Beussents body if his precision was there. Instead, a painful sensation comparable to biting iron shot up to Gewus head.

Gewus sharp senses told him to punch behind him if he wanted to tag Beussent, yet he missed again. Gewu roared prior to mounting a punching combo, demonstrating exceptional Nanjiang skills thanks to its compatibility with the strength of Pangus sons. Alas, strength had no meaning in combat if the attacker couldnt find their target. Little did Gewu know Wazi faced the same problem a couple of hours ago against none other than Beussents shifu. While Beuseent wasnt as dangerous as his mentor, Gewu wasnt as dangerous as Wazi.

“Youre stronger,” Beussent lifelessly commented as he slipped and weaved. “But you havent changed as a person.” Beussent performed a sharp slip whilst conjuring purple energy to his hand, then stung Gewus left obliques. Having broken several of Gewus ribs, Beussent lunged his rear foot in front, then cracked Gewus shoulder, back, chest and several more spots.

Gewu shouldnt have been hurt so bad given how sturdy his body was, yet he was almost turned into pure blood. Gewu was aware Beussent could utilise Enlightenment, but he disregarded Beussents Quasi-Divine Realm progress because most Sacred Beasts could reach that level, yet none of them could do squat to him. Having to deal with Enlightenment in person for the first time taught Gewu how much he underestimated it.

“I surrender. I surrender, hahaha. I was going to play with you for a while longer, but your progress has exceeded my expectations. Your Majesty, tell me: what is that you want me to do Do you want me to eliminate those stubborn state rulers or help you unify Nanjiang and take your rightful throne This old one is happy to help you.”-
