"Now, I announce that I will remove the position of Zhang Hu's Patriarch and let me take over as the Patriarch." Zhang He coldly glanced at Zhang Hu, his tone exceptionally cold, "Do you have any objections?"

"I have an objection!"

Before Zhang Hu could say anything, an elderly voice was heard from outside the door. A raggedly dressed old man angrily entered the hall. "Zhang He, you shameless bastard. For the position of Patriarch, you actually sent someone to assassinate me!"

"Hmm?"

All of the Zhang disciples looked at the old man in unison. With one glance, they were all shocked, "First Elder, how did you become like this?!"

It turned out that the old man who had suddenly appeared was none other than the Great Elder of the Zhang Family!

However, the current Grand Elder no longer had the immortal demeanor he once had. His clothes were in tatters and his hair was in disarray. On top of his tattered clothes, there were faint traces of blood. He seemed to be injured.

"Grand Elder, what's going on?" the Third Elder asked as he walked in quickly.

"What's going on?" The Great Clan Elder was extremely indignant, and his beard and eyes flared up as he said, "Someone did not want me to appear here, and actually requested the assassin of 'Heaven's Kill' to assassinate me." "If I hadn't been prepared, my corpse would be here right now."

The words of the Great Elder were like a bolt out of the blue, causing everyone's heart to tremble.

Who was it that wanted to assassinate the Great Elder? Especially at this critical juncture, other than the enemies, there was also …

For a time, the gazes of many members of the Zhang Clan fell onto Zhang He's body. At this moment, the only one who was hoping for the First Elder to not appear should be Zhang He. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

"Nonsense, it must be that you have too many enemies and want to be assassinated!" One of the voices called out. It was one of the three Elders that supported Zhang He earlier.

"That's right, don't speak nonsense here. How could Zhang He do such a thing?" The other elder also joined in loudly.

"Humph!" The Great Clan Elder raged, "Are you suspecting that I am lying? "How dare you!"

"The one who is presumptuous is you!" Zhang He suddenly shouted in a cold voice, "I am now the Zhang Clan Head, not only did you not bow when you saw me, you even slandered me. Are you trying to rebel?"

With that said, a powerful aura burst out from Zhang He's body, pressing down on the Great Elder!

Under this aura, the First Elder's expression changed rapidly. Finally, his face was filled with shock. "What? You've actually broken through?"

The Great Elder's words were like a bomb exploding in the crowd, causing a huge sensation.

The Great Elder said that Zhang He had broken through? Then, was he a master of the tribulation stage now?

"Congratulations Patriarch for breaking through and entering the ranks of the Heavenly Tribulation Stage Supreme Elders!" All of the disciples kneeled down and said respectfully.

In this world, only strength was respected. Under such a strong power, those Zhang disciples who were still doubtful and dissatisfied all expressed their opinions.

Seeing the admiration in everyone's eyes, a look of satisfaction flashed through Zhang He's eyes. However, when he turned his gaze to the Great Elder, he felt a burst of displeasure.

Although the grand elder was unable to see through his aura, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

"Grand Elder, you still refuse to acknowledge me even now?" Zhang He shouted coldly as he stared coldly at the Great Elder.

"Humph, for the sake of seizing the position of the Patriarch, I will not accept it no matter how strong you are. "If the Zhang Family were to be in the hands of a despicable person like you, one day, they would lose their future." The Great Elder suppressed it and scolded word by word.

Zhang He was infuriated in his heart, "You don't know how to appreciate favors, do you really think that I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

As he spoke, the aura around Zhang He's body became even more intense. A dense killing intent locked onto the body of the Great Elder.

Under Zhang He's increasingly strong aura, the Great Elder's legs bent, as if he was unable to stand up straight. However, his eyes were still determined and unyielding.

"You old thing, you're courting death! You can't blame me for that!" Zhang He was finally angry. He stretched out his right palm and the black jade hand imprinted onto the Grand Elder's chest!

"Whooosh."

A dark palm seemed to have transcended the limits of space, arriving in front of the Great Elder in an instant. No one had any time to react.

"So fast, is this the strength of someone in the Divine Tribulation Realm?" Many Zhang disciples broke out in cold sweat. Their hearts were all in their throats, "Can Grand Elder block it?"

"Great Elder, be careful!" The Third Elder, who was in close proximity to the First Elder, cried out in shock. However, even though he was beside him, he had no time to defend the First Elder.

"My life is over …." The Great Elder smiled wryly in his heart.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but he really couldn't. In the face of a tribulation, he, who was at the late stage of body transformation, was simply too weak!

"Sigh …" Just when everyone thought that the Grand Elder was about to die, a soft sigh could be heard.

Zhang Hu, who was originally standing to the side in a low profile, suddenly moved.

With this move, his silhouette instantly vanished. At the same time, a silhouette appeared before the Grand Elder. If that wasn't Zhang Hu, then who else could it be?

Then, Zhang Hu unhurriedly raised his right hand, and a similar mysterious light shot out. This was the move of the Black Jade Hand.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhang Hu's right hand unexpectedly arrived late, and he slowly moved towards Zhang He's palm.

"Boom —"

Everyone felt a powerful shockwave suddenly come over. The strong airflow caused them to be unable to open their eyes.

When the airflow subsided, everyone hurriedly opened their eyes. But the scene in front of them caused them to be inexplicably shocked.

Zhang Hu was currently standing majestically in front of the Great Elder. The sickly expression on his face was nowhere to be seen. The current him was like a mighty tiger, majestic and fierce.

As for Zhang He, he stood ten meters away from Zhang Hu with an ugly expression. He had his hands behind his back and did not say a single word.

However, some of the more meticulous people were able to notice that Zhang He's right hand was gently shaking behind his back.

"Patriarch... You've recovered? " The First Elder and the Third Elder cried out at the same time. Their eyes were filled with excitement.

Zhang Hu nodded.

"You … You've actually recovered, "Zhang He said heavily," Not only have you recovered, but you've also broken through the body and entered the heavenly tribulation!

"Was it a surprise?" Zhang Hu lightly said, "I originally wanted to give you another chance. If you can change your life and truly help the family, then so what if I, as your master, am your master? "

"Unfortunately, you still attacked. For the sake of becoming the Patriarch, you didn't hesitate to kill the Great Clan Elder. With this nature, if I can give you the Patriarch's seat, then I will be the sinner of the Zhang Family! "

"Cut the crap, I have settled my mind on the head of the family today." As he spoke, Zhang He once again shot out a palm.

"Boom —"

The battle between Zhang He and Zhang Hu, the two tribulation stage cultivators, had finally begun!
