Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 869: Chapter 337: Your Sword Embodies the Dao Will!

Not to mention the surprise in Zhang Juhai’s heart, let’s talk about the battle on the dock. Xiang Anxu, struck violently by Yang Zhenshan, did not die, nor was he severely injured. It was just that his right arm was faintly aching, and half of his body felt numb.

The earlier strike seemed to have hit Xiang Anxu hard, but in reality, it did not cause much harm to him.

The physique of Innate Martial Artists is inherently very powerful. This strength is not only reflected in their physique but also in their skin, muscles, bones, meridians, and internal organs.

The skin becomes incredibly tough, muscles are firm and elastic, bones, although not as strong as steel, are as hard as a rock, the meridians are exceptionally resilient, and the internal organs are no longer as fragile as those of ordinary people.

Moreover, Innate Martial Artists can wield their Qi to form armor, and the protective power of Innate True Qi condensed into armor is no less than Iron Armor.

With a strong physique and the protection of Qi armor, the defense of an Innate Martial Artist is indeed formidable.

Xiang Anxu got up from the ground, looking at Yang Zhenshan with a face of indecision.

”Dao Intent!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at the longsword in his hand, which was over three feet long and about an inch wide, with a snowy white blade. It was evidently a good sword, but Yang Zhenshan was not inspecting its quality, but the faint glow on the blade.

Xiang Anxu, seeing him remain silent, suddenly raised his sword and charged at him.

Reaching the Dao is a realm most Innate Martial Artists dream of, but this does not mean that Innate Martial Artists need to fear opponents at the Dao level.

It has been said before that the three levels of Xuanji, Intricacy, and Dao are the same. The status of the Dao level is so high because, first, achieving Dao is very difficult, and second, it relates to realms beyond Innate.

Therefore, all Innate Martial Artists yearn for the Dao.

As for how powerful the Dao level is, it depends on the person.

Xiang Anxu’s sword was incredibly fast, smooth without any pause, wielded with elegance, the sword moving like a fierce wind, extremely sharp.

But Yang Zhenshan’s spear was even faster, the tip lifting upwards, catching Xiang Anxu’s sword, while the iron butt of the spear swung fiercely towards his chest.

If it hit, a large dent would certainly form in Xiang Anxu’s chest.

Xiang Anxu almost instinctively retreated.

However, while he wanted to retreat, Yang Zhenshan did not want to let him go. His body moved with the spear as it turned, and a horizontal sweep forced Xiang Anxu to sidestep to dodge.

Don’t think that after mastering Dao Intent, Yang Zhenshan abandoned his spear skills. Every move he practiced before now serves as his foundation.

Every move and stance has long become second nature to him.

The two crossed paths, their blades grazing the spear shaft, sparks flying.

Suddenly, Xiang Anxu’s sword light became fiercely intense, the sword light aiming straight at Yang Zhenshan’s throat like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Yang Zhenshan’s pupils contracted sharply, almost reacting purely on instinct as he thrust his spear.

Clang!

The spear tip and sword tip collided.

Both retreated several steps simultaneously.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression became somewhat grave. Xiang Anxu’s move unexpectedly had a striking similarity to his Thunderclap Spear.

Both were so fast that they caught the opponent off guard, preventing any defense.

And earlier, it was only by using the Thunderclap Spear that he barely parried it.

This means Xiang Anxu had also grasped Dao Intent, though his Dao Intent was still nascent and far inferior to Yang Zhenshan’s.

However, this already warranted Yang Zhenshan’s serious attention.

The two engaged in combat again without any exchange.

Their figures flew up and down, side to side, wildly releasing Jin Qi and True Qi, piercing the bluestone ground like arrows, leaving holes of varying sizes.

Seeing this, Wen Qing could only repeatedly dodge, but he wasn’t able to escape far before being stopped by Zhang Juhai.

”Haha, Brother Wen Qing, shall we play?”

After waves of shock from Star Moon Island, Zhang Juhai finally remembered his purpose for coming here.

He wanted to create some trouble for the Taro Dynasty. Although the current battle situation did not seem to require his intervention, he still wanted to contribute to Star Moon Island.

Not to seek favor with Star Moon Island, but just to have them owe him a slight favor.

Wen Qing’s face turned extremely sullen. Zhang Juhai was from the same era as Xiang Anxu; they had competed for seventy or eighty years. Although Xiang Anxu could currently overshadow Zhang Juhai, back then, it was Zhang Juhai who could overshadow Xiang Anxu.

In front of Zhang Juhai, he was just a junior.

To be honest, he was quite intimidated by Zhang Juhai.

However, given the current situation, he had no choice but to brace himself.

”Brother Wen Qing, why don’t you come to my Zhang Dynasty?”

”In the Taro Dynasty, you are just an outsider. Come to my Zhang Dynasty, and I’ll grant you the title of Duke!”

”Hey, Brother Wen Qing, why are you silent? If you are willing to join my Zhang Dynasty, how about I give you a Sea Dragon Pill?”

”The Sea Dragon Pill is a treasure; you’ve probably heard of it!”

”With it, you can dive into the sea without any worry!”

...

Zhang Juhai was not in a hurry to subdue Wen Qing; instead, he was trying to rope him in with nonstop chatter, like a chatterbox.

However, he was right about one thing, the Sea Dragon Pill is indeed a rare treasure.

This Sea Dragon Pill is made with Sea Dragon Ginseng as the main ingredient, and Sea Dragon Ginseng is a very rare Treasure Medicine from the sea, calling it a Treasure Medicine is an understatement as its effects are better than many Spirit Fruits.

Eating Sea Dragon Ginseng can enhance lung capacity, allowing an ordinary person to hold their breath underwater for more than half an hour, and if an Innate Martial Artist takes it, they can hold their breath for at least an hour.

And when Sea Dragon Ginseng is refined into a Sea Dragon Pill, the effect is multiplied, allowing one to hold their breath underwater for more than two hours, even sustaining combat in the water for a long time.
