Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 445 - 438: Compromise

BOOM!!

This terrifying power drew everyone’s gaze. Even resisting with his full strength, Wang Heng Mountain was no match for it. After a brief stalemate, his body was sent flying backward, only stopping after crashing through a tall wall.

A clear Fist Seal was left on his iron-cast chest. He knew his opponent had held back at the last second. Otherwise, that attack would have pierced clean through him.

Even so, the blow had rattled his internal organs, and he couldn’t stop the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

However, for a powerful being of the Saint Awakening Level, such an injury was not truly severe.

’This power... It seems even more terrifying than the tank cannons I’ve faced on the battlefield. What’s even more frightening is his precise control. To be able to hold back at the very end...’

’From Donghua, with such terrifying strength, and a bird-shaped Mind Dharma Form that appears when he strikes...’

’The man before me... Could he be...?’

At that thought, a flicker of shock crossed Wang Heng Mountain’s eyes. He seemed to have guessed Zhou Yuanjue’s identity. Only that person could possess such power.

Even in the Dark World, his threat level was ranked at the very top. He was hailed as the strongest of the world’s younger generation, a living miracle who had set countless records.

The name the Dark World gave him was:

The Immortal Bird!!

’This guy... In a situation like this, he didn’t stay in Donghua. He actually came all the way to the Black Continent...’

’It seems the situation in the Black Continent really is complicated.’

Wang Heng Mountain wiped the blood from his mouth and pushed himself up from the ground, slowly rising to his feet. His monstrously swollen form gradually shrank, returning to its normal state.

He knew that even at his full strength, he was absolutely no match for the man before him. It was better to relax completely.

The saying "a man who can rival a nation" was meant for people like him. Wang Heng Mountain was still far from that realm.

In the Dark World, only the leaders of the three major organizations, or perhaps a few rare lone wolves, could possess such strength.

And they said this man was only in his twenties.

He didn’t know how to describe the feeling in his heart. Half of the disciples practicing their cultivation in the square were probably older than this man.

"Uncle Wang... couldn’t even last a single exchange with him..."

From the pavilion above, Li Haibo stared blankly, taking in the scene in the square.

To see Wang Heng Mountain, who was like a Divine Spirit in his eyes, reduced to such a sorry state was unbelievable.

You couldn’t even call it a fight. It was a completely one-sided beatdown.

"’One man is enough...’"

Zheng Hang muttered the phrase in a daze, now truly understanding its meaning.

An organization couldn’t stand against a person like that. Only a nation could.

Impervious to weapons, possessing immense strength, moving with supernatural speed...

He hadn’t been lying. If he wished it, nothing the Beihai Chinese Association did could stop him.

"Thank you for holding back. I never imagined you would come to the Black Continent in person."

Watching Zhou Yuanjue approach him step by step, Wang Heng Mountain’s attitude shifted completely. He cupped his fist and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Do you understand now? Do you see the kind of enemies you might be facing? Are you still so certain you can protect the Beihai Chinese Association and ensure the safety of the disciples behind you?"

Zhou Yuanjue asked.

Wang Heng Mountain fell silent. The truth was, having reached his level, he had carved out his own territory even in a chaotic place like the Black Continent. He hadn’t fought anyone in years, not since he first achieved Saint Awakening in his youth.

His burgeoning power had made him arrogant, and he’d even started to believe he had joined the world’s top ranks, capable of contending with any foe.

Now, Zhou Yuanjue had given him a harsh wake-up call.

"Is what you’re saying true? Are there really beings even stronger than you about to cause chaos in the Black Continent?"

Wang Heng Mountain asked.

"Of course. The Seven Mo Luo of the Celestial Organization and the leaders of the three major organizations are all likely on par with me. And that’s not to mention the even greater powers that might be hiding behind the Starry Sky Country and the Celestial Organization."

"Even I, as I am now, might not be a match for them."

"Their goal in causing all this chaos is likely to tamper with the Seal on an even stronger being. If they succeed, it won’t just be the Black Continent that descends into war and disaster. The entire world will be shaken to its core."

The starlight surrounding Zhou Yuanjue receded, and he returned to his previous appearance: slender, fair-skinned, and with an ordinary face.

But now, everyone knew what a terrifying monster was hidden beneath that harmless exterior.

"An even stronger being... The entire world will be shaken..."

At that moment, Wang Heng Mountain felt a profound chill. He knew Zhou Yuanjue wasn’t just fearmongering.

A being even stronger than Zhou Yuanjue... that was a level of power in a completely unknown, incomprehensible realm.

"What kind of cooperation did you have in mind?"

Wang Heng Mountain asked after a moment of silence.

"You don’t need to worry. We won’t interfere with any of your business, nor will we take away any of your power. In fact, if it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have even revealed my strength."

"What I need is your network on the Black Continent and your influence. I need your full cooperation in that regard. As for the fighting, you can stay out of it. I’ll take full responsibility. More people would only get in my way."

"Of course, if we are to cooperate, I don’t want you playing any little games or getting any funny ideas. Otherwise... well, you know what will happen."

Zhou Yuanjue said, his expression calm.

Hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s words, Wang Heng Mountain actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously suspected that Zhou Yuanjue had an ulterior motive for coming, which was why he had acted so decisively. But now, it seemed it was just a show of force meant to cut to the chase. Having successfully established his dominance, the demands he was making were likely genuine.

There was no need for him to lie; they were in no position to resist.

At the same time, he was more inclined to believe that what Zhou Yuanjue had said was true. Helping him was, in effect, helping themselves.

"On behalf of the Beihai Chinese Association, I accept your offer to cooperate. We will provide you with our full support in terms of intelligence, funding, and anything else you need. If necessary, I can even join the fight myself."

Wang Heng Mountain said.

"I doubt that will be necessary. You should focus on protecting what you’ve built here. Since we have an agreement, there is one thing I need you to do for me right now."

Zhou Yuanjue said, getting straight to the point.

"Name it."

Wang Heng Mountain’s expression grew attentive.

"As soon as possible, I want to get in touch with the highest leadership of the Hunting Mark Organization. I need to speak with them in person."

Zhou Yuanjue said.
