Wang Xiang glanced at Wang Sani, then patted his shoulder gently. "We're not acting recklessly, San. His strength has already exceeded our expectations. Even though I'm in the same realm as him, I can't guarantee victory in the duel if we attack now, it will only bring us destruction.""Then, what is the plan, Patriarch?" Wang Sani asked, although his tone was still filled with impatience.Wang Xiang smiled faintly, a smile full of strategy. "We need help from stronger alliesWang clan is no small force, and we have ties with the Purple Heaven Sect, one of the strongest affiliated sects. I will send a message to their Elders for help."The other clan members nodded, although some of them looked doubtful. Wang Xiang continued, his voice firm. "You have to understand. In this battle, we are not only facing Zhi Hao, but also the Zhi Clan which is starting to rise with the Purple Heaven Sect on our side. We can not only destroy Zhi Hao, but also humiliate the Zhi Clan in front of everyone.

Let me fight. I'm strong enough. With this Core, I can fight them all."Zhi Sao shook his head slowly, his tone hardening. “Your strength is indeed great, Hao’er, but our enemies this time

With the Lightning Star Core fused in his body, Zhi Hao had already surpassed his previous limits. His realm leaped up to the Seventh Star, lightning aura coiled like a raging dragon, and Qianlong, his divine weapon, shone with a deadly light."Is this... the power of a god?" Nong Bai muttered softly, feeling himself like an ant before the immense power.Zhi Hao appeared in front of Nong Bai in the blink of an eye, his smile cold. "You called me weak earlier, didn't you? Let's prove it."One swift swing, the sound of lightning ripples echoed in the air.Swoosh! Slash!Nong Bai's body stopped for a moment before being split in half, from head to waist. Blood sprayed onto the ground, while his aura shield shattered as if it was nothing but fragile glass.Nong Bai's corpse fell with a silent thud, watched by the members of the Zhi Clan in the distance. They were all stunned, watching the feared enemy leader die in an instant by Zhi Hao's hands.Zhi Hao stood there, Qianlong returned to t
