Chapter 331 Master and Disciple

Old Wang, appearing calm and composed, with a single hand gesture, seems to control the life and death of Kaiser Mo. However, in reality, he is unable to fully close his fingers.

This is not Sogert, ranked in the seventies in the Holy Sanctuary, but the Steel Demon Kaiser Mo!

He has almost used all his strength, yet his spread fingers cannot completely close, lacking just a bit of force, as if he is not holding a fragile heart but a tough and hard stone.

If both were at the Tiger Peak level, such a confrontation would easily become a contest of soul power and endurance. Old Wang does not lack resilience and endurance but is short on soul power.

Old Wang feels his physical strength and soul power rapidly draining, his fingers spread and unable to close completely.

Snap...

Kaiser Mo's little finger slightly bends as he feels the invisible hand gripping his heart gradually losing strength, not squeezing as tightly anymore, finally giving him a bit of breathing space.

Soul power slowly circulates again in his body, his face beneath the iron armor flushed red. How long can Wang Feng hold on? Ten seconds? Five seconds?

But at this moment, a figure flashes past Kaiser Mo.

It's the Red Spider! For such an assassin, three seconds are enough to kill the defenseless Kaiser Mo ten times!

"Seal!"

Fortunately, the power of the curse is weakening rapidly, though Kaiser Mo's body still cannot move. His soul power is circulating, instantly connecting to the War Demon Armor. Red patterns flash on the War Demon Armor, with hot flames gathering in his dark eye sockets, making his eyes glow red! If the Red Spider appears before him, she will taste the power of the War Demon Armor!

But the lightning-fast figure, as if anticipating this, does not attack from the front, Kaiser Mo feels a slight chill under his left armpit.

Even the most invincible armor has gaps, otherwise, one cannot move. In battle, Kaiser Mo can easily protect these narrow gaps, preventing enemies from attacking the weak points. But now, unable to move, how can he defend?

Kaiser Mo's eyes widen in shock. In the corner of his eye, a blood-stained spider silk is in Mapeier's hand, and his entire right arm, still clutching the HexSky Mace, is flying away from his body!

That woman, she actually severed my arm?! Although a severed arm might not be irreparable, in this soul illusion realm, it is almost impossible to reattach it. Just a mere Wang Feng and a Red Spider without any ranking, these two trash, have actually crippled me, making me lose the chance to compete for the great opportunity in this soul illusion realm!

Rage and willpower instantly turn his entire face red and purple with blood, and then...

"Roar..."

"Roar roar roar!" Kaiser Mo's terrifying roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, breaks through the final barrier! Boom!

His mind is filled with overwhelming anger, exploding violently, terrifying soul power surges with his rage, and his consciousness struggles free in an instant.

'Thud thud thud,' Kaiser Mo steps back seven or eight steps, blood gushing like a fountain from his severed arm!

Opposite, Wang Feng stands motionless, calmly watching the furious figure retreating, though inwardly panicking.

Damn, I thought it was settled, but he can still break free? Even with a severed arm, he's still so fierce and tough. Why don't you just use a pump to drain your blood? Bleed to death, you idiot!

Old Wang steps back, and at the same time, several spider silks wrap around Kaiser Mo's helmet from behind, pulling him tightly, but Kaiser Mo does not even turn his head.

His blood-red eyes are fixed on the retreating Wang Feng. It's him! He's the one who sealed my movements, causing the pain of my severed arm. If I don't avenge this, I am not a man!

Boom!

Blood patterns flash again on the War Demon Armor, flames burn, and blood surges. The spider silks binding Kaiser Mo are forcibly burned and broken by the flames!

The dark eye sockets are no longer deep and lightless, replaced by raging flames, instantly filled with killing intent!

A burst of fiery energy erupted beneath his feet, and with a roar, he shot towards Wang Feng.

Old Wang had just used the Insect God's Heart-Devouring Curse. Although he had already consumed a potion beforehand to prevent his body from stiffening like last time, replenishing his soul power was still a gradual process. His body was sluggish at the moment, and he couldn't even move a step, let alone dodge. Meanwhile, Mapeier, who had just had her spider silk severed, was rushing towards him with all her might, but given her speed and position, there was no way she could make it in time.

Is this really the end?

Boom!

A violent shockwave rippled out, sending a powerful air wave in all directions, forcing Old Wang to shut his eyes tightly.

What?

As the air wave passed, the pressure from the fist in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a gentle breeze.

He seemed unscathed?

Old Wang opened his eyes in surprise and saw a swirling vortex of wind encircling him. At the same time.

Boom!

The heavy fist collided with the storm, and their powers seemed evenly matched, quickly canceling each other out... No, the storm had the upper hand. After a brief stalemate, the storm shook violently, forcefully sending Caesar Mo flying back more than ten meters!

Caesar Mo's eyes blazed with fury.

Who could possibly repel him like this?

Although Caesar Mo had been mentally attacked by Wang Feng and suffered the loss of his arm, he still retained at least 70-80% of his peak strength. Yet, he hadn't even seen his opponent's face before being repelled by the storm!

Mapeier's face brightened with relief, while Old Wang felt his tilting body being steadied by a strong hand.

A bald figure stepped out from behind Old Wang, exuding calmness.

At the sight of this person, Caesar Mo's fury instantly subsided.

Xiao Bang, the Dragon's Son, Xiao Bang!

Ranked fourth in the Blade Temple's hierarchy, but based on that storm defense, he appeared even more formidable than the rumors claimed! If Caesar Mo were in perfect condition, he would naturally fight him without hesitation. But now, with his mind repeatedly injured, his energy depleted, and his right arm severed...

Whoosh!

Another figure flashed, and one more person appeared beside Xiao Bang and Wang Feng—Mapeier.

The last glimmer of hesitation vanished from Caesar Mo's eyes. In his current state, he couldn't handle even one Xiao Bang, let alone with Mapeier added to the mix. If he delayed any longer, he might not even be able to escape.

"Hehe... Hahaha!" He let out a maniacal laugh, a flicker of malice in his pitch-black eyes. "I'll remember you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, boom!

He propelled himself off the ground, grabbed the severed arm still clutching the Hex-Sky Mace, and dashed towards the distant cave passage, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Mapeier was powerless to stop him, and Xiao Bang didn't even try. In fact, his attention wasn't on the armored Caesar Mo at all. Instead, he was staring blankly at this "Hei Wukai."

This couldn't be Hei Wukai. Xiao Bang was too familiar with that aura—it was the unique aura of his master, something no one could imitate!

Old Wang was still recovering. Using the Insect God's Heart-Devouring Curse had taken a heavy toll on his body. Although he had adapted once with Sogert and had consumed a soul-replenishing potion beforehand, he still suffered some mental backlash and couldn't recover instantly.

He remained motionless with his eyes closed, while Mapeier and Xiao Bang stood respectfully by his side.

Mapeier knew Xiao Bang—the third prince of the Dragon Moon Empire, the almost certain heir to the throne, and ranked fourth in the Blade Temple's hierarchy. A top-tier expert of unparalleled prestige. Yet, looking at him now, he seemed to be showing immense respect towards Senior Brother Wang Feng? This...

To be honest, Mapeier found it a bit hard to comprehend. No matter how you looked at it—status, strength, or anything else—there was no reason for someone like Xiao Bang to be so reverent towards Senior Brother Wang Feng...

She had seen Wang Feng recover after using the Insect God Heart-Devouring Technique and knew that her senior brother was not seriously harmed. At this moment, she secretly observed Xiao Bang, who, however, seemed unfazed, quietly standing by Old Wang's side like a loyal attendant, patiently waiting for him to finish his meditation and recover.

The cave fell silent once more. After a long while, Old Wang finally let out a long exhale. He stood up, rubbed his face with his hand, and said, "Xiao Bang, you arrived just in time."

The mask of Hei Wukai fell away, revealing Wang Feng's face.

It really was the master! Xiao Bang's heart trembled, and his excitement was evident.

No wonder this person had remained calm and unflinching in the face of Caesar Mo's deadly punch. Such composure was something Xiao Bang had seldom seen in his life. It turned out to be the master. Only the master could possess the poise to treat Caesar Mo's heavy punch as if it were nothing. Even if he hadn't intervened, the master would surely have had a way to handle it!

Since their parting in the Monster Beast Mountains, this was the first time he had been able to speak with the master. He dropped to his knees with a thud and kowtowed (a traditional gesture of deep respect), "Disciple Xiao Bang pays his respects to the master!"

Master... master?

Even though Mapeier had considered various possibilities, hearing this title still made her jaw drop in surprise. She knew that her senior brother was extraordinary, but she had never imagined he could be *this* extraordinary! Senior Brother Wang Feng was actually Xiao Bang's master?! The third prince of the Dragon Moon Empire, who had undergone a great transformation after disappearing for half a year—was it because he had received guidance from Senior Brother Wang Feng and gone into seclusion for training?

There were no outsiders here, so Old Wang didn't refuse Xiao Bang's grand gesture. After Xiao Bang finished kowtowing three times, Old Wang smiled and said, "Alright, alright. With this kind of sincerity, it's not for nothing that we have a master-disciple relationship. Get up!"

Xiao Bang was absolutely thrilled!

The master had said "a master-disciple relationship," which meant he had finally acknowledged his status as a disciple! Back in the Monster Beast Mountains, the master had said that he would only truly accept him as a disciple after he passed the test and became a hero. It seemed that the master had finally been moved by his sincere devotion and had expedited the process.
