The Flawless Martial Artist is the pinnacle of martial artists, and the Great Mage is the pinnacle of mages, but the number of Great Mages is far fewer than that of Flawless Martial Artists.
In terms of status,
they are also higher.
"They’ve made a move!"
An exclamation rang out, bringing Fang Zheng back to his senses.
Saber lights and sword shadows flickered in the distance, accompanied by a breeze. One person’s body suddenly froze in place, and in the next instant, his head fell to the ground.
From the beginning of the exchange to its end, it lasted no more than two breaths.
"As expected, the Qian Family won," the stall owner sighed:
"That person overestimated himself, unaware that the Qian Family’s Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique is a unique skill of the Profound Celestial Dao, allowing one to disregard any attack to so extent."
"Brought disgrace upon himself and lost his life in vain."
Fang Zheng remained silent, his face solemn, still watching the body on the platform.
He had seen everything clearly just now.
When the two exchanged blows, Qian Fusong’s body seed like a phantom, ignoring the long saber landing on him, slipping past his opponent’s saber light, and easily beheading with one sword stroke.
Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique?
This skill,
can it really ignore physical attacks?
Then what about my pistol...
Fang Zheng felt a chill in his heart.
The person fighting Qian Fusong wasn’t weak. Although he wasn’t a Great Zhou Celestial Martial Artist, he had substantial True Qi and excellent saber technique, but was still no match for Qian Fusong.
’Indeed!’
’The world is vast and full of talent; staying confined in Gu’an County is like being a frog at the bottom of a well, never seeing the true world.’
’The Mo Family’s chanical Puppet, cultivators refining the Hundred Beauties Painting with human souls, and now Martial Dao with such profound technique as the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique.’
’I thought achieving success with the Elental Thunder Skill would allow so recklessness, but it’s clear I should still not underestimate the world and keep low for a while.’
He sighed lightly and started walking away from the Ghost Market.

The Qian Family has the Qilin Child, Qian Fusong, who has a Martial Arts Grand Circulation cultivation base at a young age. The Chen Family also boasts two prodigies: the Magic Talent Thirteenth Sister and the Martial Dao Genius Chen Jiuniang.
Thirteenth Sister, despite being under twenty, is already a mage with mana.
Jiuniang, formally known as Chen Yuyan, also has a Martial Arts Grand Circulation cultivation base with remarkable swordsmanship. It’s rumored she also inherited a certain skill from the Profound Celestial Dao.
Unfortunately...
These two are too young!
The younger generation has yet to truly mature, while there’s no outstanding person in the older Chen Family, and the elders are almost all dead or injured.
The current Chen Family is in a precarious situation, lacking capable successors.
Once opposing forces make a move, it will surely be an overwhelming assault, and then...
Fang Zheng lightly shook his head and continued reading.
’The Elental Thunder Skill is related to the inheritance of Celestial Thunder Mountain, which in turn is connected to the legendary Ancient Thunder Departnt. This matter must be a secret within the Chen Family.’
’Few people would know about it.’
’Chen Jiuniang, Thirteenth Sister, Second Master Chen Qi of the Chen Family...’
Fang Zheng gently caressed the book, marking off each na, his eyes thoughtful.
The Elental Thunder Skill is a top-tier Dharma Gate of the present age. It would be ideal to obtain it, but he’s not planning to get involved in the feud between the Qian and Chen Families.
However,
if he could take advantage of the chaos between the two families to capture a mber of the Chen Family and have them take him to the Land of Inheritance, it would be feasible.
"Chen Qi!"
Fingertip pausing, Fang Zheng stopped.
Compared to Jiuniang, Thirteenth Sister, and other Chen Family experts, although Second Master Chen Qi holds a high position in the Chen Family, his combat power is very low.
He hasn’t even cultivated True Qi.
But he oversees the business of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for many years and controls the core family business; he must know the location of the Elental Thunder Skill inheritance. If he could be captured...
Shaking his head, Fang Zheng sighed softly, smoothing his brows.
Chen Qi, as a core figure in the Chen Family business, possesses the secret key to the family’s Treasure Pavilion and is likely already being targeted by other forces.
Acquiring him would not be easy.
As for Jiuniang, Thirteenth Sister...
They’re either on the front lines of the battlefield or secretly sent away. Just he and Xiang Xiu attempting to capture them would be pure wishful thinking.
"Forget it!"
"Forget it!"
Fang Zheng shook his head; he was never one with a ticulous mind or adept at scheming. When things get complicated, he turns clueless and unsure how to respond.
If such a situation arises, he’ll likely charge ahead recklessly.
Without any leads on the Elental Thunder Skill for the mont, he decided to pick up the news collection of Zhaonan Prefecture to pass the ti like catching up on current hot topics.
"Lord Governor, representing heaven, has passed through Changtu Prefecture?"
"According to the route, he shouldn’t co to Zhaonan Prefecture, but with the flood affecting the South Dam of Gu’an County, he should make a detour there."
"Perfect."
"The County Magistrate of Gu’an County is his protégé, and Lord Yan will soon be promoted to another post. eting up can be a chance to reminisce."
"But this Lord Governor is really afraid of death; wherever he goes, he sends the Imperial Court army ahead first, probably aware of his poor reputation."
"Chang Wei?"
"I didn’t expect that after we parted, Chang Wei would encounter the injured demoness Qin Keqing, be hunted down by her in a fit of anger, and desperately jump into the river to escape."
"Fainting, he was rescued by a woman, and then brought her back ho as a concubine; isn’t this straight out of popular novels?"
"Surviving near-death situations ti and again, could he be the protagonist?"
Fang Zheng was speechless.
"Square Porcelain pottery has beco popular, with sales surging. Capital City porcelain rchants are already acquiring it. I didn’t expect even the Thousand chanisms Pavilion to have such news."
"Linghu An challenged Master Han of the Soaring Dragon Martial Arts Hall, and it ended in a draw."
"Linghu An..."
......
The next day.
"Brother Wen!"
Linghu An approached with a hearty laugh, exclaiming loudly:
"It’s been a while; how have you been?"
"Not bad." Once again disguised as Thunderbolt Hand Wen Tailai, Fang Zheng went to visit the residence Linghu An had set up in Zhaonan Prefecture.
He cupped his hands and saluted:
"Patriarch Linghu looks in high spirits; it seems things have been going well for you."
"Haha..." Linghu An stroked his beard lightly:
