Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

“This fellow’s actually not weak,” Long Chen muttered, realizing he had misjudged this man.

The ferocious man wielding the wolf fang club was far stronger than expected, and his weapon, though appearing lightweight, was shockingly heavy. Although it was still a Heaven Saint divine weapon, from the divine might that erupted from it, Long Chen estimated that it was probably not much weaker than an average Human Emperor divine weapon.

“Since you refuse to give up, don’t blame me for being ruthless! This is your final chance to hand over the Yin Yang Soul Calming Grass!” shouted that man.

“Senior apprentice-brother Cheng Ye, don’t waste any more time with her. Let’s show her the power of the Wang family’s heavenly geniuses!” said a disciple behind him.

Another disciple, grinning lecherously, added, “Hehe, we’ll capture her and show her senior apprentice-brother Cheng Ye’s other talents.”

His words elicited a chorus of knowing chuckles from the group. The innuendo in their laughter was unmistakable.

Seeing this, the azure-robed woman flushed with anger but kept her composure. She did her best to cool down before saying, “You’re willing to throw away your face just for a single Yin Yang Soul Calming Grass? For this, you wish to be enemies with me?”

“You stole the treasure of the Wang family and still have the nerve to argue? You won’t cry until you see your coffin, it seems! Now speak—who are you? Who sent you? What sect do you belong to?” Cheng Ye demanded as he swung his massive club through the air, the wind from it howling like a beast.

At the very least, Cheng Ye was not completely brainless. He knew to at least learn the other side’s background before going all-out.

The woman coldly raised her sword and replied, “Since you're determined to twist the truth, there’s nothing left to say. Go ahead and attack!”

Sensing that a battle was inevitable, she didn’t want to waste any more words on these scoundrels. The situation was clear: they wanted her treasure, and they would take it by force.

“Fine, then don’t blame me—eh? Who are you?” Cheng Ye shouted, looking behind the woman.

The woman instinctively turned her head to check, but it was a trap. Cheng Ye used this chance to move in front of her, his wolf tooth club swinging through the air. He was quick and vicious. His savage strike aimed straight for her waist, and the fang-shaped spikes gleamed wickedly, making a chilling sound as it tore through space.

“What a brute. Does he need to be so vicious?” muttered Long Chen, his anger bubbling inside him.

Watching from his hidden spot, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel angry at this scoundrel. Though he had only overheard part of the conversation, he could already guess the situation. In the cultivation world, power was what mattered. With it, someone could bully the weak and steal their lucky encounters and opportunities. This was a normal thing to do.

Every cultivator understood a simple truth: if they weren’t strong enough, they couldn’t hold onto their treasures. Yet, even in a world ruled by power, there was a line that shouldn't be crossed. Taking someone's treasure was one thing, but taking their life just to seize it? That was pure despicability.

What separated humans from beasts was their sense of humanity, but some people were far worse than animals.

Cheng Ye was powerful, so Long Chen had thought that he would defeat her openly with this power and snatch the Yin Yang Soul Calming Grass. But instead, this bastard resorted to a dirty trick, unleashing his full power to sneak attack her and take her life.

The woman also hadn’t expected Cheng Ye to be so vicious. Fortunately, her reactions were quick. Her sword sliced through the air to meet the wolf tooth club.

BOOM!

Both the woman and Cheng Ye were blown back, but she spat out a mouthful of blood. After all, one person was attacking with a fully prepared assault, while the other was hastily defending. This disadvantage left her injured.

Cheng Ye didn’t give her any chance to recover. His Heavenly Fate Disk appeared behind him, and the power of his Blood Qi erupted like a volcano.

“This aura... desolate qi?” Long Chen’s eyes narrowed. The desolate qi emanating from Cheng Ye’s body signified an ancient bloodline, and the diagram within his Heavenly Fate Disk resembled a mystical totem, marking him as a god cultivator.

“The diagram in his Heavenly Fate Disk should be a totem. Though he hasn’t awakened his manifestation, it already possesses such powerful Doyen fluctuations. He really is strong,” Long Chen noted.

As expected, the cultivators of the Endless Desolation had a significant natural advantage over others. Growing up in such an unforgiving environment, it was inevitable that they would become much stronger.

Cheng Ye pressed his advantage relentlessly. His wolf tooth club smashed toward the azure-robed woman with such speed and ferocity that she barely had time to react, let alone summon her manifestation. She was forced back repeatedly.

Finally, she managed to call forth her manifestation. When her Heavenly Fate Disk appeared, the entire world trembled, and astral winds erupted violently, blasting Cheng Ye back. With a single stroke of her sword, she sent him flying.

Whirlpools swirled within her Heavenly Fate Disk, and the surrounding wind energy tore through the battlefield. Her aura instantly surged to a new peak.

“Hehe, now things are getting interesting. That sinister fellow probably can’t handle her anymore,” Long Chen chuckled.

From the beginning, Long Chen had sensed that the woman was formidable. Now, with her Heavenly Fate Disk unleashed, the immense wind energy filling the air brought a smug smile to his face.

“You despicable bastard!” the azure-robed woman cursed furiously. Even though she had managed to summon her Heavenly Fate Disk, the earlier relentless attacks had weakened her significantly.

Divine light flared from her sword. With a single swing, the void was torn apart, and Sword Qi slashed through the air toward Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye roared, swinging his club to meet the attack. The Sword Qi shattered upon contact, but the fragmented energy transformed into thousands of blades, all converging on him at once.

Growling in defiance, Cheng Ye swung his club around like a top, trying to fend off the barrage of attacks. The azure-robed woman saw her chance and unleashed a flurry of Sword Qi, each strike backed by her powerful wind energy, making them even sharper and more devastating.

Cheng Ye could barely hold on under the onslaught, unable to counterattack. Sensing the tide turning, a dozen of his lackeys rushed forward and attacked the woman together, their combined assault forcing her to halt her offense.

“Despicable!” the azure-robed woman cursed, glaring at them.

She had no choice but to block the incoming attacks, and it gave Cheng Ye the breathing room he desperately needed.

Cheng Ye had been in dire straits. If she had attacked him for a while longer, he would have been defeated. However, thanks to everyone’s help, Cheng Ye managed to get a breather, though he was covered in blood and seething in rage.

“Slut, face your death!” Cheng Ye bellowed, his manifestation blazing. Power surged into his club as he launched a fierce attack at her.

BOOM!

This time, the woman’s sword shattered under the force of his strike. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her aura plummeting as her strength faded.

“Die!” Cheng Ye roared, lifting his club to deliver the killing blow. But just as he was about to strike, the woman’s voice cut through the air like ice.

“If you dare to kill me, the Wind God Sea Pavilion will annihilate your entire family!” she warned, her tone chillingly calm.

“The Wind God Sea Pavilion?”

The moment he heard that name, Cheng Ye froze in place, his rage quickly giving way to fear.
