Chapter 1061: The Appearance of Heavenly Leaf King

"This..."

"Indeed, it's too calm..."

Once Zhang Xuan said this, the others also noticed.

This Jiang Yuan before them, as a thousand-man commander of the War Master Hall, had experienced so much along the way, yet he appeared far too composed. If he hadn't spoken just now, everyone would have almost felt as if he didn't exist.

Jiang Yuan's face turned slightly pale, then he waved his hand: "The War Master Hall has requirements for mental fortitude—one must not change expression even if Mount Tai collapses before them. This place is so dangerous, and I don't know much about formations and traps. Not speaking is nothing unusual, right?"

"There are also many people here who haven't said a word since arriving, for example, Formation Master Liu Mo! Not speaking is actually nothing..." Zhang Xuan said with a light smile.

"Then..." Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

Zhang Xuan's lips curled up: "Don't rush... I just want to ask you, can you name the War Masters who sacrificed themselves just now?"

"I..."

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

In the War Master Hall, besides Jiang Yuan, Feng Xun, and Zhuo Qingfeng, there were twelve other War Masters, meaning a total of fifteen people had come.

The four who died, though not the weakest in strength, had rarely spoken and never given their names. Even Zhang Xuan didn't know what they were called... but as fellow members of the War Master Hall and their direct leader, he should know them clearly!

"What? You don't even know their names?" Zhang Xuan said mockingly.

"War Master Jiang, how could you..." Feng Xun was stunned.

Everyone was from the same War Master Hall, and many of them had been trained by him. Not being able to call out their names... it would be strange if that didn't raise suspicion.

The others also stepped back several paces, looking at him with full confusion.

Everything else could be explained, but not knowing his own subordinates was inexplicable.

After opening his mouth several times without managing to say a name, Jiang Yuan's face lost its previous composure. Instead, he let out a cold laugh and looked over: "You're very clever... Fine, since you've discovered me, then... the game is over!"

Boom!

As the sound ended, a powerful aura surged from Jiang Yuan's body, giving a violent pressure that seemed to make breathing difficult.

"An Out-of-Body realm expert..."

Pupils contracting, Wu Shi quickly stepped in front of the crowd, his muscles tensed and true qi运转 to the limit, ready to strike at any moment.

From the aura alone, he could tell that the opponent was a solid Out-of-Body realm expert, far stronger than himself.

"Do you think you can stop me?"

With a cold laugh, "Jiang Yuan" lightly pointed a finger forward.

Bang!

Before Wu Shi could react, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground with a pale face.

The early stage of Out-of-Body realm and the peak of Primordial Spirit realm, though only two minor levels apart, had a vast difference in strength, not even on the same level.

"Everyone be careful, he is Heavenly Leaf King..."

While still in the air, Wu Shi had already confirmed the identity and shouted loudly.

Although the opponent's attack used the Primordial Spirit, it also carried a dense aura of slaughter. Among the Qingtian lineage, the one who could come here with such strength was probably this legendary Heavenly Leaf King!

"Heavenly Leaf King?"

Everyone's bodies tensed up, and they raised their weapons in unison, looking at the opponent warily.

Though they knew they were no match, there was no escape now; they could only face him head-on.

"A bunch of chickens and dogs!"

Facing the encirclement, "Jiang Yuan" remained expressionless, smiled faintly, spread his five fingers, and pressed down fiercely.

Boom!

Everyone immediately felt as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The immense pressure threatened to knock them over at any moment.

At the Out-of-Body realm, the Primordial Spirit could draw upon nature. Although the crowd was not weak in strength, they were still far inferior in comparison.

"Hmph!"

Pressing down on the crowd, "Jiang Yuan" flicked his fingers sharply.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The weapons in everyone's hands immediately flew out of their grip, their tiger's mouths bleeding and faces pale.

"I'll hold him off, everyone flee..."

Seeing that even together they were no match, Wu Shi's eyes blazed with fury. With a roar, he flew up from the ground, his long sword carrying a long sword aura as he slashed down.

Saint-rank martial technique, Overlapping Waves and Wild Wind Sword!

The sword aura surged like waves, each wave叠加 on the next. Before it even arrived, the surrounding air seemed torn apart, and the ground beneath the sword aura formed a huge gully.

"A bit interesting..."

"Jiang Yuan" chuckled lightly, his five fingers moving like flipping flowers. His little finger first collided with the sword aura, followed by his ring finger, middle finger, and thumb. Each contact diminished part of the sword aura, and after several strikes, the power of the Overlapping Waves and Wild Wind Sword was completely neutralized.

"That's the Saint-rank martial technique, Overlapping Wind Hand... Isn't he Heavenly Leaf King? How does he know a War Master Hall martial technique?"

Feng Xun couldn't believe it.

What the opponent had just used was not a unique skill of the Heterodox Spirit race, but the War Master Hall's martial technique, Overlapping Wind Hand!

"Heavenly Leaf King is controlling Jiang Yuan to fight, meaning Jiang Yuan... isn't dead yet, just temporarily possessed..." Zhang Xuan frowned.

This Overlapping Wind Hand was somewhat similar to his physical body's No Thought No Idea; it should be Heavenly Leaf King using the power of the physical body to execute it, not his own.

"Temporarily possessed? Master Zhang, please save Jiang Yuan..." Feng Xun quickly said.

Jiang Yuan, like him, was a thousand-man commander. They had fought together and faced enemies together. Now that he was possessed by Heavenly Leaf King, they had to save him no matter what!

"Hmm, saving him is certain, but there are two things I can't figure out right now..." Zhang Xuan said, stroking his chin.

The battle was intense, and with his strength, he couldn't intervene. It was better to focus on thinking and clarify the situation first.

"There's no time to think. I'm afraid if this continues, Wu Shi and the others will shatter Jiang Yuan's physical body, and even if we save him, it will be useless..." Feng Xun couldn't help saying, seeing him still pondering at such a moment.

Hearing his urgency, Zhang Xuan looked up.

At this moment, President Han and Mu Shi had also joined the battle circle.

This "Jiang Yuan" was powerful, and Wu Shi alone was no match. But with the three of them united, it was different; they began to retreat step by step.

"I didn't expect the three of them could execute such a exquisite formation..."

After a glance, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Wu Shi, President Han, and Mu Shi had all come from Qingyuan Empire. Each might be vastly inferior to this "Jiang Yuan," but when united, they burst out with combat power exceeding the sum of three.

"But something is still off. Even if Heavenly Leaf King possesses a body, the mismatch would weaken his strength, but not to this extent..."

When an Out-of-Body realm expert possesses someone, their strength decreases. But even so, they shouldn't be something Wu Shi and the others could contend with. Yet now they were retreating step by step, which made him increasingly puzzled.

"You're asking for death..."

After retreating a few steps, "Jiang Yuan" suddenly stopped, his eyes turning bloodshot. With a roar, a Primordial Spirit leaped out from between his eyebrows.

Rumble!

As soon as the Primordial Spirit appeared, the spiritual energy for who knows how many miles around converged, turning it into a giant. Every move carried earth-shattering power and momentum.

Whoosh!

His palm pressed downward, shattering the formation formed by Wu Shi and the other two. Then, with several consecutive strikes, all three vomited blood, suffering serious injuries.

"Stop..."

Seeing the Primordial Spirit about to continue attacking after severely wounding them, Feng Xun could no longer hold back and flew straight over.

"Heh!"

Seeing him fly over, the Primordial Spirit sneered and flicked a finger.

Bang!

With just one strike, Feng Xun was sent flying backward.

Although he was at the peak of Saint Domain Triple, the gap between him and this opponent was too vast to be compared.

"I understand..."

Seeing Feng Xun knocked away, Zhang Xuan suddenly had an idea. His eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, then turned to instruct: "Everyone, continue attacking..."

Hearing his words, everyone nodded simultaneously, and power surged in their palms, overwhelming the Primordial Spirit in the sky.

Though they knew they were no match, since Master Zhang said so, he must have his purpose. They dared not stop.

Unlike their attacks, Zhang Xuan flickered and directly arrived in front of Jiang Yuan, throwing a punch at him.

Bang!

With the Primordial Spirit separated from the body, Jiang Yuan was now just a physical body, unable to withstand the blow, and was sent flying backward.

"Master Zhang..."

Feng Xun, who had gotten up from the ground, saw this and nearly spat blood.

He had just said Jiang Yuan wasn't dead, and now he was beating him like this. Did he think he wasn't dead enough and wanted to finish him off?

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Ignoring his shouts, Master Zhang fiercely pounded Jiang Yuan's back of the head.

"This movement... why does it seem familiar?"

Just as he was about to rush over to stop him, Feng Xun suddenly froze.

Why did the opponent's movements feel familiar, as if he had seen them before? And he vaguely felt a pain in the back of his own head?

But this feeling passed in an instant, and he had no time to think. Then he saw the Heavenly Leaf King's Primordial Spirit in the air involuntarily sway twice, a look of terror in its eyes.

"What are you doing?"

The Primordial Spirit roared again and suddenly grabbed at Zhang Xuan.

But before it could reach him, the latter punched Jiang Yuan's body again.

The Primordial Spirit swayed again, nearly falling from the sky.

"Could it be... attacking Jiang Yuan's physical body affects his Primordial Spirit?"

Seeing this, Feng Xun and Wu Shi exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with joy.

"Master Zhang, let me..."

With a flicker, Feng Xun arrived beside him and, following the spot Zhang Xuan had just struck, punched it.

Crash!

As expected, the Primordial Spirit in the air seemed to receive a heavy blow, involuntarily shaking twice.

"You deal with him first; I have something to ask this Heavenly Leaf King..."

Seeing him rush over, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, left "Jiang Yuan," and came to Wu Shi and the others, looking up at the Primordial Spirit in the sky.

"Master Zhang, what is going on?"

Wu Shi and the others were full of curiosity.

He and President Han were both close to the Out-of-Body realm, but they had never heard that attacking the physical body of an out-of-body Primordial Spirit would affect it, especially a possessed physical body.

"I'll explain later..."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand without answering, smiled lightly: "Heavenly Leaf King... there's something I don't understand. Why would you go to such great lengths to hide inside Jiang Yuan's body?"
