Chapter 732: Soldier of War, One Punch!

"..." Wei Wuyin turned his head towards the voice, his expression reflecting indifference and tranquility. The footsteps stopped after he turned his focus. The approaching figure halted a notable distance away, roughly twenty or so meters. Their breathing had also settled.

Wei Wuyin felt a deeply investigative and probing gaze on his body, unable to make out any other details of this new arrival. The faint scent of blood permeated the air as time elongated between this odd standoff.

"...You don't seem like a newbie." The voice spoke out, and the mocking and playfulness dissipated, replaced by a voice tainted with seriousness. The voice was masculine in nature, not particularly deep nor high.

"You don't seem like one who courts death," Wei Wuyin calmly countered. It was as if he dismissed the entirety of this individual's existence. At the moment, Wei Wuyin was unsure of his situation and there was no exposition giver of the finer details here, so he was unable to understand who this person was or the intent of this Nexus Battlefield.

However, this was a Battlefield, so some things were self-explanatory. For example, fighting and death were centralized concepts explored thoroughly here. The initial words of this individual alluded to at least that much, and the smell of fresh blood lingered in the air.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" The voice slowly grew deeper, carrying aggression and a rising ferocity. The smell of blood thickened with every passing second that remained silent. The tension in the air stifled the world. If this created atmosphere was indicative of anything, it was the prelude of a bloody battle.

"..." Wei Wuyin remained silent. Turning his head elsewhere, he brought his hand before his face and thought for a long moment. This Nexus Battlefield was very different from the Battlefield from earlier. Firstly, the suppression of spiritual strength and astral force was far, far greater than before. He could b?r?ly grasp a single meter of distance around him with all four Astral Souls unsealed.

Secondly, his physique had been pushed to its physical energy limits. If it was an ordinary cultivator, this might be a minor matter, but he was a cultivator that possessed four Astral Souls, a Draconic Void Heart and True Dragon Bloodline, and had taken an astonishing amount of physical energy enhancement products. He had never thought of being able to refine his physique prior to the Star Core Phase, so this was a pleasant yet curious surprise.

Thirdly...

The sound of skidding against hard ground followed the sounds of a body pushed through the air, brought down by the gravity afterwards.

"Gah...ugh! Ho-how?!" The voice shouted out in shock between gurgles of blood and gasps of air.

Wei Wuyin ignored the voice, standing upright and glancing at his fist in wonder. After wiping off the bodily fluids on his cheek with his sleeve, he couldn't help but look at the direction where the voice tried to gather himself, attempting to stand up with a struggle.

"So my ?ssumption was correct. Interesting," Wei Wuyin commented to himself. His physique was elevated to the standards of his physical energies. For other cultivators, this might not be impressive or heaven-defying, but to him who refined his physical energies to an extreme limit of his cultivation realm, had higher physical energy limits thanks to his Void Dragon Bloodline, this gave him an insidiously unfair advantage.

Wei Wuyin didn't know who this person was, but he was an enemy in the Nexus Battlefield for sure. Additionally, he seemed to be aware of the purpose in the Nexus Battlefield or have been here longer. He was a wonderful, well only, source of information.

Unfortunately, he realized all his forces, including Alchemic Eden Force, were hindered just as severely as the rest. The restrictions here were indiscriminate. If not, he would freely and unhesitatingly scan through this cultivator's memories. However, he didn't want the restriction to impact his precision and interfere or outright cause it to fail with catastrophic consequences.

Turning his attention to the voice, Wei Wuyin gave a faint smile, "You up for some questions? If so, I can consider not killing you. Of course, that depends...on how detailed and useful this information is."

Wei Wuyin kept a distance, but the voice's grunts and breathing through gritted teeth revealed his vexation and fear.

"...You're after the Obelisk of War?" The voice asked between pants, almost sounding defeated entirely.

Wei Wuyin's smile deepened and he didn't answer, "You up for it? Or shall I allow you to catch your date with death. After all, you've courted it quite thoroughly before. Would be a little disappointing if you missed it, what do you think?"

"..." The voice didn't respond yet the tension in the air lessened considerably.
