BOOM!
Just as Nangong Shi finished speaking, a gigantic golden fist came crashing down from the sky. The golden fist brought along waves of Spiritual Lights as it emitted "chi chi" sounds wherever it passed. The Spiritual Energy in the air was also set ablaze.
When the golden fist struck at him, Zhao Wuji's pupils immediately shrank. Ever since Nangong Shi destroyed his Infinite Light, he no longer had any haughty attitude in his heart. It was obvious that he treated Nangong Shi as his opponent. Then, Zhao Wuji suddenly formed a seal with his hands. Boundless Spiritual Energy erupted out, forming a barrier of light formed from Spiritual Energy.
Even though the barrier of light looked extremely weak, it had an extremely strong defensive power. From Zhao Wuji's expression, it was easy to see. This barrier of light was most likely filled with all the strength of his body.
However, all of these were extremely weak under Nangong Shi's golden fist. Wherever the fist passed, the barrier of light was completely set ablaze. All the defenses had been reduced to nothingness at this moment.
Astonishment finally appeared on Zhao Wuji's face at this moment. Even his strongest defense was unable to withstand a single blow from Nangong Shi. At this point, Zhao Wuji finally understood why Nangong Shi boasted about eliminating the Zhao Family. It was obvious that Nangong Shi, who had revealed his true strength previously, had the ability to do so.
"This is bad!" "If I die, this Zhao Family might not have any more Flameless Fire Legacy!" Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and immediately retreated. He was obviously trying to escape.
"Isn't it too late to think of leaving now?" Seeing that, Nangong Shi smiled slightly. Then, with a light clench of his left hand, a burst of spatial energy instantly imprisoned Zhao Wuji who was rapidly retreating. Following which, the golden palm rumbled down with a single punch.
"Stop!"
Just as the golden palm was about to strike Zhao Wuji, an ancient voice suddenly sounded out like thunder. The sound echoed throughout the world, and the air vibrated with it. Following the sound, the golden hand stopped as it was enveloped by a Spiritual Energy.
"Has he finally appeared?" Nangong Shi muttered. From the start, Nangong Shi had sensed that the palace god had an extremely dark energy. Although the energy fluctuations were extremely weak, Nangong Shi had still sensed it. Right now, seeing that Zhao Wuji was going to be struck by his attack, that aura was unable to contain itself and it was about to appear.
"This is …"
"Patriarch!" It's the patriarch's voice! "
"What!?" The Patriarch is actually still alive! "
In an instant, the surrounding Zhao Family disciples were all shocked. One must know that for the Zhao family to have such a position outside of the world, this old master had done a great service. However, he had not appeared for more than two thousand years. Everyone thought that the head of the Zhao Family had already left. But who would have thought that they would meet again today. Instantly, all of their faces were filled with excitement.
After a short moment, an old man in a grey and white robe slowly walked up to the sky. He lightly sighed as he looked at Zhao Wuji. Then, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Wuji was released from his imprisonment.
"Father!" Zhao Wuji cried out in joy when he saw the newcomer.
"Go down." The old man looked at Nangong Shi who was standing in the air with a complicated expression on his face, then gave Zhao Wuji a pampering look.
"Father …" Zhao Wuji was confused and shouted again.
"Are you not going to listen to what I have to say?" When the old man saw this, his expression immediately straightened as a sharp aura instantly gushed out.
"Your son understands his wrongs, father, please forgive me." Seeing that, Zhao Wuji immediately responded with a low voice, then looked at Nangong Shi, and landed.
"This old man Zhao Wuheng greets this senior." After the old man saw that Zhao Wuji had landed, he tidied up his clothes and flew up into the sky, stopping right in front of Nangong Shi, then directly bowed to him.
"What's going on!?" Why would the Patriarch give this person the gift of a junior! "
"Am I seeing things? The Patriarch actually gave Nangong Shi such a huge gift! Could it be that this person is stronger than the Patriarch? "
Everyone was discussing amongst themselves, all of their faces blank. Especially Zhao Wuji, his expression was very unsettled. He had thought that he wouldn't be able to defeat this person. At most, it was only slightly stronger than him. However, he didn't expect that his father would address him as senior, and even perform such a courtesy. Then, Nangong Shi's strength, I'm afraid... As he thought about it, Zhao Wuji suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.
"You can bear to come out now?" Nangong Shi looked at Zhao Wuheng and spoke indifferently.
"Senior, don't blame me. This old man's body was too unfit to act rashly, so when he saw senior arriving, he did not come out to greet him. I hope senior will understand a bit. " When Zhao Wuheng heard this, he helplessly bowed again.
"Your body … huh?" Weird, although you are not weak, your body is unable to provide the support that you deserve. No wonder you didn't show up at the beginning. "However, since you can't move, why did you come out now without any regards for your own life?" Nangong Shi asked somewhat curiously. This Zhao Wuheng had some sort of illness hidden within his body, but it wasn't physical. It was as if he had received a serious injury on his foundation. Otherwise, with Zhao Wuheng's strength, he wouldn't have acted this way.
"This is the only son we have. If he died on the spot, the Zhao Family would probably fall into chaos." As a father, if this old man were to watch his child die before his eyes, what meaning would there be in living? Furthermore, it will be endless outside the realm too. It was not my original intention to come here. " Zhao Wuheng sighed.
"Presumably, the illness on your body was left behind when you first moved from the Zhen Wu Continent outside this world." Nangong Shi seemed to understand the reason and asked.
"I didn't expect senior to actually know about what happened that year. That's right, back then we all worked together to move our entire clan away, and now everyone of us has more or less died. had shaken the very foundation of the Spirit Master. Until now, this old one is probably the only one who has survived until now due to luck. " Zhao Wuheng's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence as he spoke softly.
"All those years ago, you all did not advocate war and quietly left. It's not your business. I just didn't expect you to be injured so badly. Whatever, I won't attack your Zhao Family again. "However, that friend of mine, I ask that you all hand him over." Nangong Shi glanced at Zhao Wuheng, and immediately felt that if he were to make a move again, he would feel extremely guilty.
"Also, I have two conditions."
"As senior commands." Zhao Wuheng respectfully replied.
"Firstly, your son Zhao Wuji will personally apologize to my friend in front of the five great families. Second, follow me back to Zhen Wu Continent. Falling leaves back to their roots, even though you all left the Zhen Wu Continent after three thousand years, that place is still your roots no matter what. Even now, the Zhen Wu Continent needs you. " Nangong Shi said.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, senior." When Zhao Wuheng heard that, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, and he turned around and nodded at Zhao Wuji.
Hopefully, Qin Er was not hurt.
