Chapter 1809 - 71: Battle of the Transcendents
"Why are they targeting me? Could it be because of what happened earlier? This Lan Family Ancestor holds grudges too strongly..."
Thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiaoman’s mind, and he quickly guessed the possible motives behind the other party’s actions.
Just like how Alman led people to eliminate the elite of the Lan Family in the ruins, he himself was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Rothschild family’s elite. Now that the Ancestor of the Rothschild family has appeared, it’s inevitable he’s here to settle scores with him.
His speculation was indeed correct, as a vast intent surged forth, and a cold voice echoed above the platform.
"Dare to strike at my family’s elite, death!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman felt a tremendous spiritual power locking onto him, followed by an irresistible pull, seemingly trying to drag him from the platform towards the other party.
As he prepared to muster his spiritual power to resist, he suddenly sensed another force intervene, blocking the power of the Rothschild family Ancestor, and the two forces began to tussle above the platform.
"This kid is under my protection, if you want to harm him, ask Grandpa Zi first!"
Zi Kuang’s voice rang in his ears.
Zhang Xiaoman looked up at him, Zi Kuang was now surrounded by intense purple spiritual power, floating in mid-air, standing firmly in front of him, bringing a sense of peace.
"Ziwei’s old dad is really reliable, I didn’t expect him to go to battle with another Transcendent level expert for me."
He couldn’t help but feel a bit moved, but he also understood that Zi Kuang wasn’t doing this for him, but for Ziwei. However, regardless, the outcome was beneficial to him, and what the other party did was indeed helping him out, which was undeniable.
Zi Kuang and the Rothschild family Ancestor were both Transcendent level; one was a relic known for tens of thousands of years in the Star Domain, while the other was a new generation expert over the past ten thousand years. One has lived long but is depleted in Qi-Blood, nearing the end of life, and the other, although not young, still has abundant Qi-Blood and robust spiritual power, in their prime.
Both had their advantages, making their confrontation difficult to resolve.
"Humph, junior, he is an enemy of my Rothschild family. If you insist on protecting him, do you intend to become an enemy of my Rothschild family?"
The cold voice came again; it was Harakat, one of the Rothschild family ancestors, the younger brother of the two, now fighting with Zi Kuang.
Facing this person’s threat, Zi Kuang was fearless and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! I’ve fought through the Demon Realm and battled Wild Beasts; what does a mere Rothschild family mean! Today, your Grandpa Zi is determined to protect this kid! Use whatever skills you have, let Grandpa have a little exercise!"
His words left Harakat without any face, infuriating him further as his already pale complexion became more sinister.
"Arrogant junior! I’m the ancestor of the Rothschild family; when I roamed the Star Domain, you were probably not even born yet! You dare defy me? You’re courting death!"
With these words, he exerted more force, and a more tumultuous surge of blood-colored light came forth, twisting the surrounding space.
Zhang Xiaoman knew this was an anomaly caused by spiritual power reaching a certain level and it must be fused with higher-order Divine Domain factors, which was utterly beyond his ability to confront.
If under normal circumstances, he would definitely activate Invincible and flee, but now with Zi Kuang intervening, Zhang Xiaoman chose not to leave.
"Humph! What if you lived longer? You’re just a stubborn old turtle unwilling to die!"
On the platform, Zi Kuang similarly unleashed a massive amount of purple spiritual power, forming an arc-shaped Shield blocking out all the blood-red light. The old man seemed to be using his true strength, his muscles bulging, with purple Runes emerging, enlarging his body size, wrinkles disappearing, transforming from an old man in Purple Robe to a muscular man appearing around forty.
"This should be Ziwei’s old dad’s true form, the previous outer appearance must have been a disguise to reduce the loss of life force. Now, bursting forth true power makes him seem like a different person altogether..."
The battle quickly drew most people’s attention; after all, it was a clash between two Transcendent-level experts, the spiritual power fluctuations of the entire space pouring towards them, making it hard to ignore.
Many families that previously had conflicts even stopped fighting, retreating a distance in tacit understanding to watch the duel between Zi Kuang and Harakat.
Zhang Xiaoman saw the two entangled, wanting to step forward to help. Although he couldn’t confront Harakat directly, in a pure attack, he could be quite threatening, this was the power of a Fake Transcendent Level, although not matching a true Transcendent Level in overall attributes, it could still employ Divine Domain Skills, so even existing Transcendent Levels wouldn’t easily ignore the Fake Transcendent Level’s attack, a slight mishap could easily lead to defeat.
