After everything was settled, Zheng-Fu and his father-in-law quickly left the mansion. In the blink of an eye, they stopped two lis away from the monster demon. Their energy levels startled the entire city, causing suspicion to spread.
No one had expected that there would be two highly skilled martial masters of such a level in Huang-Di City, especially the Demon Tribe spies, who imdiately sent reports back to their tribe, though they did not know who these powerful martial masters were.
At the Flaming Dawn Clan...
"Who are those two highly skilled martial masters? One of them has an aura as powerful as the Monster King. The other… um… looks like that young man," the Flaming Dawn Clan Leader said suspiciously, as the two martial masters who passed by were much stronger than him. He could only sense their aura and energy waves.
"Leader, everyone in the clan has gathered in the bunker, sir!"
"Mhm... Very good. Let the high-level martial masters guard the bunker. And go invite the Great Elder and Second Elder to et here."
"Yes, sir!"
The Flaming Dawn Clan Leader felt that the situation had improved, seeing that two highly skilled martial masters had headed out to face the monster demon. He thought about going to the city gate to get a closer look at the battle and discover the identities of the two martial masters.
At the Frenzy Lion Clan...
"This aura! His Majesty the Monster King!!! And who is the other person?" The Frenzy Lion Clan Leader recognized the Monster King's aura, as he had t him many tis before. However, he had never seen or sensed the other martial master who had co with the King.
"Maybe it's a great skilled martial master from the royal palace, sir," comnted a male monster in his forties.
"Impossible! There are only four individuals of such strength in our Monster Tribe. The first is the forr king, the second is the current king, and the third is the king's left hand, but he's been sent to the border to deal with the Demon Tribe. The fourth is Lord Warden, who oversees the royal prison in the palace. All of them have their responsibilities, so these two cannot be any of them."
The Frenzy Lion Clan Leader elaborated on the current Divine King stage martial masters in the Monster Tribe. If one of these two was the current king, then the others would not be available to co here, as they had duties to fulfill. In particular, Lord Warden, the king's younger brother, was responsible for keeping high-ranking Demon Tribe prisoners in custody.
"And who is the other martial master?"
"You'll see for yourself, Great Elder. Has everyone in the clan gone to the bunker?"
"Yes, Leader!"
"Good! Then let the martial masters and elders watch the area. You co with —we're going to observe the battle and find out who this other martial master is."
"Yes, sir, Leader!"
Not only these two high-ranking clans but other clans had the sa idea. Everyone wanted to know the identity of the other martial master, so they decided to witness the battle firsthand because this battle would help elevate their levels further.
In addition to the major clans, people from the Mo-Qing Chamber of Comrce, the Central Bank of Ten Thousand Monsters, the Enchanted Monster Tavern, and other powerhouses all headed out to watch the battle.
At the Silver Body Clan, inside Zheng-Fu's magical building...
"Master!!!"
Jin-Tian, who was cultivating energy, shouted in shock after sensing that Zheng-Fu had released all his energy. Jin-Tian knew that Zheng-Fu would not release his full energy unless sothing serious was happening. He imdiately got up and flew out of the magical building, heading in the direction of Zheng-Fu's energy.
The two brothers were unaware of this situation because the magical building had sealed their awareness, ensuring no one could disturb their cultivation. However, Jin-Tian, with his special connection to Zheng-Fu, could sense Zheng-Fu's energy.
This battle could bring about a major change, as it was the first joint battle between father-in-law and son-in-law, who had just t. Although people did not yet know who Zheng-Fu was, they would surely praise him as a hero.
Back to Zheng-Fu and his father-in-law...
Roaaar!!!
The monster demon roared ferociously, its surroundings engulfed in the chaotic energy it released. It had previously circled within Zheng-Fu's hidden dinsion, searching for cities or creatures to destroy and demonstrate its strength. But after wandering without finding anyone, it grew frustrated and unleashed its imnse energy, breaking down the dinsion and escaping.
Upon erging, it sensed the many living beings in Huang-Di City and headed there to vent its anger. But as it neared the city, two powerful figures blocked its path. Their energy levels were comparable to its own, and there were two of them, causing the demon to growl in displeasure.
"You said this monster demon was summoned by a Demon Tribe martial master, right, son-in-law?" The King still called Zheng-Fu 'son-in-law' familiarly as he inquired about the monster demon's origin.
"Yes, sir, Your Ma-- ...Uh... Fa… Fa... Father-in-law." As Zheng-Fu was about to say 'Your Majesty,' he corrected himself into saying 'Father-in-law' quickly after receiving a stern look from the King, smiling shyly.
"Hmm... So, do you think we can defeat it, son-in-law? Judging by its energy, it has been at the Divine King stage for quite so ti. Otherwise, its energy wouldn't be this dense," the King continued, emphasizing the word 'son-in-law'.
This behavior showed that the King was pleased with Zheng-Fu and wanted to make him feel more at ease. He repeated 'son-in-law' several tis, not caring if others overheard.
Zheng-Fu, though a bit uncomfortable at first, gradually adjusted, understanding that the Monster King genuinely accepted him.
"We definitely have a chance to win, Father-in-law! Because I have this," Zheng-Fu nodded confidently, holding up three spelled talismans.
"Huh...? Spelled talismans?" The King was both shocked and skeptical about the spelled talismans in Zheng-Fu's hand, but he soon sensed the power radiating from the talismans, nodding and smiling with great satisfaction before he said,
"For this battle, I'll give you full command, and I'll follow your lead," the King said, without questioning the abilities of the talismans in Zheng-Fu's possession, entrusting him with the entire battle strategy.
"Hah!!? Are you sure, Father-in-law?" Zheng-Fu, now used to calling him 'father-in-law,' couldn't help but ask if it was appropriate for him to lead and command in this battle.
"It's the right choice, son-in-law," the King nodded and smiled slyly.
"All right, sir! I'll draw the monster demon's attention first, and when it's unguarded, you can attack. Do you agree, sir?" Zheng-Fu proposed a simple plan to distract the monster demon and give the King an opening.
"Agreed!"
With the plan set, Zheng-Fu imdiately soared toward the approaching monster demon to capture its attention. The five spelled talismans he held would allow him to inflict damage, giving the Monster King fifteen opportunities to strike.
Swish!!!
'I guess I'll need a weapon for this battle,' Zheng-Fu thought.
Having fought previous enemies barehanded, he decided to use a weapon this ti, as the opponent was far stronger than any he had faced before. Zheng-Fu took out the Aquatic Dragon Sword, a Pristine-level weapon, for the battle.
Wooooosh!!!
Grrrr!!!
As soon as Zheng-Fu drew the Aquatic Dragon Sword from his dinsion space, the roar of a dragon, filled with energy and fear, resounded. The energy emanating from the roar sent chills through both the King and the monster demon.
For the Monster and Demon Tribes, dragons were regarded as the highest beings, feared above all. Although the Monster King's tribe included mbers of the Dragon Race, they were of low-class bloodlines, so their energy wasn't as powerful.
But this dragon, whose roar echoed from Zheng-Fu's sword, was different. The mystery and majesty of its presence made the Monster King's bloodline seem inferior. Even the residents of Huang-Di City, dozens of li away, could feel the power of the roar.
"Kid! How dare you disturb my sleep!?" A mysterious and ancient voice echoed from the Aquatic Dragon Sword, belonging to the spirit of the Aquatic Dragon that resided within the blade.
"Huh! When you speak to your master, you must show respect! I am your master now, and I'm not the weak kid I used to be!" Zheng-Fu ignored the Aquatic Dragon's threatening words, as his current energy level completely suppressed the dragon's spirit.
"You!!!"
Wooooosh!!!
Ah!!!
Before the Aquatic Dragon could respond with insults, it felt a stronger energy suppressing its spirit. Moreover, it had already accepted Zheng-Fu as its master, so it had no choice but to submit.
"How is this possible? I must be dreaming. How can this kid possess such power in such a short ti? Not much ti has passed!"
The Aquatic Dragon couldn't believe what was happening, convinced it was dreaming. It refused to accept the reality of Zheng-Fu's strength.
"Huh!!! You're not dreaming, Deity Dragreeper!"
