Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 384 Encirclement and Suppression
One of the grandmasters said, "Eleven giant grandmasters are hunting down the Blood of Tyranny, including at least three giant grandmasters."

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected the giant to unleash such power, nor had they expected the tyrannical blood to be so ferocious.

“Don’t forget, he has the blood of tyranny. When he was young, he was humiliated by giants during the trials and was almost beaten to death. After becoming a Grandmaster, he raided that giant’s tribe at night and slaughtered all eight hundred giants in one night, leaving no one alive.”

"He has done this kind of thing many times, otherwise how could he be feared by all ten realms? It is precisely because of this that, unless absolutely necessary, the various realms rarely offend him excessively."

"Many of these giant grandmasters are probably his enemies, so they joined forces to attack. If the giants are involved, the dragons won't be idle either. Dragons are even more vengeful than giants. In order to advance, Tyrannical Blood has killed many dragons to drink their blood and take their flesh."

"Now it's time to beat a tiger that's fallen into the water..."

"Is the blood of tyranny wounded?"

"He's too far away to perceive clearly, but he seems to be injured. After all, the power of the Ancient Heart of Life is too immense, and he needs to find a secluded place to absorb it slowly. However, no one will give him time to absorb it, which means that he has the Ancient Heart of Life but cannot heal his injuries."

Zhao He said, "It seems that the great encirclement and suppression by dragons, giants, siren, demons, dwarves, orcs, treants, giant insects, and magic masters—the grandmasters of the nine races—is about to take shape. What about us human martial artists?"

“There are those who are observing in secret, but none of them have made a move. Those who dared to make a move before have all been terrified of him. Moreover, there are rumors that he has obtained the complete inheritance of the Ancient River Sect, further enhancing his strength. As martial artists, they know best the terror of the Starry Sky Inheritance.”

Zhao He sighed, "Who exactly is the senior disciple of the Guhe Sect? I really want to join the Guhe Sect to learn from him."

"Wait a little longer. After a few rounds of enrollment expansion, we'll all be able to get in."

"I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."

"With so many ancient tree fossils you've acquired this time, your healing techniques will undoubtedly reach their peak. Even if you enter the Great Battlefield, you'll be able to compete with the geniuses of all realms. When you advance to Grandmaster, seize the opportunity to request to join the Ancient River Sect, and they will surely accept you."

“Feiqiong, what do you think? You are the only disciple of the Ancient River Sect among these people,” Zhao He said.

Lou Feiqiong smiled and said, "Although I don't know Senior Brother either, I learned from chatting with my fellow disciples that the Ancient River Sect is still experimenting and will start accepting disciples on a large scale within a year at most. For you, it doesn't make much difference whether it's a year earlier or later."

Suddenly, the giant dragon flying in the sky issued a warning.

The accompanying sorcerer approached and whispered, "We've spotted a large army of demons heading this way. Their ranks are extremely disorganized, and one of them should be the Mad Prince Aiden."

"Damn it..." Zhao He suddenly swore.

Those who knew Zhao He well laughed.

Lou Feiqiong asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“That son of a bitch Aiden always tries to fight me whenever he sees me. I can never beat him. That son of a bitch is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. Last time he met Chen Shouhu, he was all meek and submissive. But when he meets me, he has to fight me.”

"The Mad Prince's reputation is well-deserved," Lou Feiqiong said.

Zhao He cursed, "He's crazy my ass. He knows best who he can mess with and who he can't. I couldn't beat him back then, and since then, he's never been afraid of me again. A few months ago, Li Shenkong froze me in place with just one look, his eyes full of clear wisdom. Go away, stay away from him, or he'll use me as practice again."

Just then, the Mad Prince's signature maniacal laughter rang out.

"Hahahaha... My dear Zhao, we meet again! Let's have some fun!"

Ahead, the earth cracked, dust flew, and trees fell one after another.

Before long, Aiden, with his dry, yellow curly hair, rushed over and attacked Zhao He.

"Madman!" Zhao He cursed, then retreated steadily, only defending and not attacking.

Aiden also practiced the No-Return Battle Technique, and was like a madman. When he made a move, it was the Mad Bear Fist Technique created by the Martial Saint of the Bear Kingdom.

He was like a polar bear, his fists exploding in the air, the sound echoing for kilometers.

Although Zhao He retreated, his defensive skills were truly impressive. Apart from the occasional minor injury, he was almost flawless.

His basic skills are extremely solid, though they may occasionally appear slightly off, but this does not affect the overall performance.

Those around Zhao He knew the two were sparring and did not intervene.

Before long, Aiden's monster alliance arrived.

In Zhao He's team, apart from a few who were on high alert, most people didn't care at all.

Even if the opposing team has a large number of demons and demon worshippers.

Jax, Rao Mingxian, Shen Jun, Gong Futing, Tu Rong and others gathered together, craning their necks to watch the battle between the two Great Innates.

The ultimate innate state is the Great Innate State.

He was just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

Rao Mingxian had met Zhao Tong, but had never met Zhao He.

He stared at the two of them and asked in a low voice, "Why is Zhao He being dominated by Aiden?"

Gong Futing smiled and said, "Aiden is a battle maniac. He has participated in many real battles, and many times he was left with only half a life. The reason he is called the Mad Prince is because he is the only anomaly in the Troupe family. He is not only proficient in the ancestral art of trading, but also dares to fight desperately in real battles. Jax, don't you think so?"

“That’s right. In our family, although many people are afraid of Aiden, they also genuinely admire his strength.”

Rao Mingxian frowned and said, "The Zhao family has a lot of resources, Zhao He shouldn't be so weak."

“I’m also a little confused,” Gong Futing said.

Jax whispered, "Take a closer look. If Zhao He is really as weak as he looks, why hasn't he been seriously injured yet? After fighting for so long, he's only suffered minor injuries. Don't you find that strange?"

Upon closer inspection, the people nearby realized what was going on.

"As expected, he was hiding his true abilities."

"This Zhao He is hiding his true strength."

"No wonder he's a descendant of the Martial Saint; he's much stronger than Zhao Tong."

"I see through it but I won't say it." After fighting for more than ten minutes, Zhao He said in a disheveled state, "Aiden, that's enough. If you keep humiliating me, I'll ask a Grandmaster to take action."

Aiden laughed wildly a few times, then withdrew his fist and said, "Your defense is getting stronger and stronger. How about joining us to hunt down the wild elves?"

Zhao He snorted coldly and said, "Our Dragon Kingdom never associates with demons."

"Never mind then." Aiden chuckled and turned to leave.

Aiden returned to the group and led the rest of the people to continue their journey to Silver Lake.

He suddenly turned around and said, "I forgot to tell you, the next Ancient Heart of Life may appear in Silver Lake Town."

After Aiden finished speaking, he laughed wildly and walked forward.

Jax asked, "Brother, how do we tell him such important news?"

"Of course I want him to join the war, and then I'll find an opportunity to kill him! This bitch, I've known him for so many years, and he's always been hiding his strength. I must find an opportunity to force him to use his full power, and then kill him!"

"I've heard that the Dragon Kingdom's military cliques are very strict in managing their descendants, something our Eagle Alliance can't compare to," said one of the accompanying Xiantian cultivators.

Jax said, "Don't be fooled by the information online. That was indeed the case for the first twenty years after the martial arts era began. But in the last twenty years, they are no different from us. They are also human, and they also want their families to last forever. There are many things you just don't know. If you don't believe me, ask Aiden."

Everyone looked at Aiden.

Aiden sneered, "I don't care about any of that. I just want to kill Zhao He. You little bitch, do you really think I don't know what kind of person he is?"

Some people began to understand what was going on.

If Zhao He were truly a martial arts master, the successor of the Martial Saint Zhao Dongjun, Aiden wouldn't dare to provoke him even if he had ten lives.

Aiden must know something; even if Zhao He is hiding his strength, he is confident he can win.

Rao Mingxian couldn't help but ask, "Lord Aiden, why are you so confident in defeating Zhao He?"

Aiden glanced coldly at Rao Mingxian and said, "The heart of martial arts. When I first met him, Zhao Sheng was still alive. He was young, full of vigor, and possessed a very pure heart of martial arts."

“I admired him a lot back then, and I was very willing to be friends with him. But later, I learned some things, and when we met again, he had lost his passion for martial arts.”

He has tarnished my respect for him!

"I may not have the heart for martial arts, but I will definitely have it!"

He remained silent for a moment, his momentum waning.

"In fact, there is no difference between chaebols and military lords; we are all a bunch of useless people."

"Only a waste would succumb to animal instincts when they have vast resources, unable to see the heart of martial arts or the Great Dao, and like a wild beast, only concerned with the most basic reproduction and feeding."

"When I see the Blood of Tyranny, I behave myself; when I see Chen Shouhu, I remain quiet. Do you think I'm afraid of their identities?"

"I have awe for their martial spirit!"

"One day, I will also obtain the Heart of Martial Arts, and then I will crush them!"

"I will become the first Martial Saint of the Trupp family, and then tell those old bastards that I was right!"

Everyone looked at the mad prince Aiden and felt a pang of emotion.

One of them said, "The future of the Eagle Alliance depends on you."

Aiden sneered, "Where is the Eagle Alliance now? All that's left is the headquarters of the Demonic Cult."

Upon hearing this, the Eagle Alliance warriors felt a chill in their hearts.

Although everyone knows the truth, it's still heartbreaking to hear it from the first in line to the chaebol.

Lord Mingzhu Zhihui of Shattered Candle City said, "I originally thought that your cooperation with us demons was purely for profit. Now I understand that your true purpose is to transform the resources traded into martial arts strength. This is the art of trading."

Aiden smiled slightly but did not reply.

Gradually, some people recalled Aiden's words and discovered some hidden meanings.

What does it mean that "Zhao Sheng is still alive"? Does it mean that the major powers on Earth already know about it, but the Zhao family is keeping his death a secret?
In mid-air, Emerald Wings flew and cursed.

"No wonder I felt something was off when I first met this guy."

"He really is a peak martial artist, he's bound to go crazy in the future."

"No, I need to find a new teammate. Hmm, I'll go with Lady Xiyan."

"Unlike these lunatics who insist on becoming demigods, she doesn't act crazy at all, rarely fights herself, and feels very safe."

"Although she also likes to kill her subordinates, I have the dual identity of the Crimson Queen and the Ice and Snow Cult, so she has to give me face."

"I'll talk to Frosthand later, and I'll definitely not cooperate with these lunatics."

“All of these people combined are no match for Zhou Leng. There was no danger at all, and he just gave me money. He promised to get that Martial Shadow Wall back after a year. He's a man of his word and wouldn't do anything against his conscience.”

Emerald Wings observed her surroundings while pondering how to escape Aiden.

Along the way, I heard about the Blood of Tyranny many times; it was terrifying.

Blood Hunting Grounds, Altar Hall.

Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.
