Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 312 - 258: Fleeing in Panic
"Heavenly Father!?"
Wang Sheng had been observing Huangtian’s method of turning five hundred thousand people into Martial Artists. He found the technique somewhat miraculous, even by his standards, and planned to learn more about it afterward.
But he hadn’t expected that just as the battle ended, the "Heavenly Father" would appear, targeting Huangtian with clear intent.
Clearly, there was something about Huangtian that the Heavenly Father greatly feared, which is why he made his move.
However, from what had happened before, it was obvious that the Heavenly Father’s intervention must be limited.
It was unclear what circumstances allowed for this intervention.
The Four Great Dynasties?
Wang Sheng did not know.
There was certainly a connection between the Heavenly Father and the Four Great Dynasties, but the specifics remained a mystery to him.
He had even suspected that the eradication of the Four Great Dynasties might weaken the Heavenly Father.
However, he dared not attempt something so uncertain; should it fail, losing this lead would be truly troublesome.
Of course, now was not the time for such thoughts.
With the appearance of the Heavenly Father, he could not stand idly by.
Huangtian had indeed managed to lure out the Heavenly Father.
Upon hearing Wang Sheng’s words, Zhu Xiao also quickly came to her senses.
Realizing that the sudden apparition was the Heavenly Father she had been "longing" for, she burst forth with a tremendously powerful aura, ready to strike immediately. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy
At the same time, Huangtian was in a dazed state.
What was this godlike figure that had descended from the sky, and why did he feel such a strong malice from it?
The key issue was that its timing was inopportune!
His last strike, of course, hadn’t been with full force; after empowering the army, he couldn’t unleash his strongest power. It was all part of the plan, for as long as the Taiping Sect existed, nothing was a concern.
Now that the plan had been completed, he should have been able to relax.
But the sudden emergence of this being caught him off guard.
Were he to confront it, Huangtian knew he didn’t have much strength left.
And even if—
Even if he could use all his strength, could he truly stand against this figure?
Its godlike presence felt somewhat despairing; it seemed that no matter what he did, he would not be its match.

It was at this moment that a familiar voice reached him.
"Stay calm; don’t be fooled by appearances. This thing isn’t as strong as you think."
The Heavenly Father looked indeed terrifying, and the aura was vast, but Wang Sheng, who had clashed with the Heavenly Father several times, knew better.
All that intimidation was an illusion; the true measure of strength could only be known through battle.
Hearing the familiar voice, Huangtian instantly calmed down.
"Master!"
"Uh-huh," Wang Sheng responded simply, then turned his attention to the Heavenly Father.
"This being may have a daunting presence, but if we’re desperate, it’s not necessarily without weakness. However, you’re not in the state to face it now; leave it to me!"
Approaching, Wang Sheng realized Huangtian’s condition was even worse than he had thought.
"Alright, Master!"
Even though Wang Sheng had only taught him for two months, those months had changed his life, and he still heeded his master’s words.
After Wang Sheng spoke, he fixed his gaze on the figure in the sky.
"A repulsive thing, oozing puss, yet you love to masquerade like this. Now, I will shatter your deceitful facade!"
Wang Sheng did not hesitate, summoning the Black Dragon Spear.
The spear technique had landed two fatal blows on the Heavenly Father before, even inciting fear in him; naturally, Wang Sheng intended to exploit this thoroughly.
The Heavenly Father’s descent was gradual, as it slowly intensified its oppressive aura.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield had paused to watch the scene above.
The Heavenly Father’s oppression of the soldiers grew stronger.
So strong that they felt desperate, as if witnessing a disaster for the entire world, from which no one would be spared.
But those with keen eyes could see a figure standing before the overwhelming presence that left them gasping for air, holding a long spear.
Maybe the Heavenly Father did not perceive him, continuing to reveal its colossal form slowly. Wang Sheng just watched, waiting for the Heavenly Father to fully manifest before acting, in case it decided to retreat halfway through.
Soon, the entire form of the Heavenly Father was revealed.
Wang Sheng did not hesitate for a moment and chose to act, employing his most powerful move.
Shocking Dragon Strike!
This move, apart from practice, he had only used twice, and both times were against the Heavenly Father.
But this time was unlike in the Spirit World, where he had not put forth his full strength.
This time, the power of Qi-Blood, the Blood Qi Divine Ability, and Divine Thought were all utilized in tandem; under the Black Dragon Spear’s unification, a terrifying aura erupted, instantly overpowering the aura of the Heavenly Father’s descent.
With one strike, it seemed to fell stars, unstoppable.
This move was almost certain to succeed!
But, in the end, an unexpected happened, and Wang Sheng’s strike missed its mark!
"Escaped... Escaped?" Huangtian was dumbfounded.
The Heavenly Father, who seemed invincible and godlike just moments before, had fled.
With strong spiritual power and being close by, he could clearly see the last expression of the Heavenly Father.
Terror!
The kind that comes from seeing a horrifying enemy.
He knew that there was only one person on the scene who could cause all this—Wang Sheng!
Wang Sheng watched as the Heavenly Father vanished without a trace, feeling somewhat regretful. The Heavenly Father had fled quickly; he didn’t even have time to react.
Initially, he’d thought to use the Shocking World Dragon Spear to eliminate the Heavenly Father outright, seeing as there was no chance for negotiation.
What he didn’t expect was that even after revealing its entire form, the Heavenly Father could still flee so swiftly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps the Heavenly Father had sensed him from the start, making a stealthy getaway.
"What a pity!"
"You didn’t manage to kill that thing?" Zhu Xiao joined Wang Sheng, her movements not as swift as his.
"No, I was one step behind. But it doesn’t matter. If it could appear once, it will appear again," Wang Sheng said, looking toward Huangtian. The appearance of the Heavenly Father was almost certainly connected to Huangtian.
He pondered and then said, "Do you regret it, Huangtian? This is the price for the lessons I’ve taught you, and there will be more to come. I won’t always arrive just in time."
"Master, when I chose this path, I banished the word ’regret’ from my lexicon. Besides, I have so many followers," replied Huangtian.
Huangtian knew that what had just appeared was extremely terrifying, but he could not retreat.
Wang Sheng regarded him seriously.
Sometimes he found Huangtian rather extreme; not to mention his talent for spiritual power, this kind of conviction felt eerie to him.
But conviction is not something easily articulated.
In any world, there are those who would serenely face death for their beliefs.
He thought for a moment, deciding not to address it, but instead said, "Let’s go. Find a place to ask you a few questions..."
