Marvel Saiyans - Chapter 76
Broly and Wang Xuan-Zhe clashed in a lightning-fast exchange, trading more than twenty blows in a matter of seconds. Gradually, Broly noticed something peculiar about Wang Xuan-Zhe.
It wasn’t that his reactions were genuinely fast; rather, it seemed he only reacted when Broly’s attacks suddenly came within a certain distance, either dodging or counterattacking.
The most troublesome aspect of the Starflash was its ability to manipulate the flow of time. This made it very easy for an opponent to fall into a disadvantage in close combat. The usual methods to counter this were either a two-person attack to cut off the opponent’s escape routes or using wide-area attacks to leave them no room to evade.
Broly chose the third option.
“Solar Flare!”
A blinding flash of light exploded, almost burning through retinas.
Even from a great distance, Zhuo Bufan and the others covered their eyes. When they recovered, Broly was already carrying Wang Xuan-Zhe’s body back towards the Nuwa Starship.
Wang Xuan-Zhe’s right arm, which held the Starflash, had been forcibly torn off by Broly.
Broly held the Starflash in his hand, with demonic energy constantly pouring from the blade, trying to invade his body. However, the moment it touched his skin, Broly’s inner energy repelled it.
He landed on the Nuwa Starship, tossing both the Starflash and Wang Xuan-Zhe onto the deck.
“Batman, don’t you have even a bit of desire for this demonic weapon?”
Zhuo Bufan couldn’t help but ask.
Since the ten demonic beads descended, transforming into ten demonic weapons, each one that appeared caused strife, turning allies against each other. It was the first time he had seen someone discard a demonic weapon so casually.
“I don’t use swords; what good would it do me?”
Broly replied nonchalantly.
For one, he felt the Starflash wouldn’t be useful in the future, and secondly, he didn’t want to provoke the terrifying Primordial Heavenly Demon before his combat strength was sufficiently powerful.
Energy is the Saiyan’s greatest weapon. As long as the energy is strong enough, no divine weapon or tool can match the destructive power of a pair of fists. He focused solely on internal energy when exchanging martial arts with the Fiery Cloud Evil God, disregarding techniques like the Cloud-Piercing Palm and Frost Fist.
Unless cultivated with internal energy methods like the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic or the Small Formless Skill, these martial arts require specific internal energy to be effective. They not only consume significant energy but also have limits. As internal energy increases, their power reaches a maximum value. Beyond that, no matter how strong the warrior’s energy is, the destructive power of their techniques won’t increase.
Broly’s current base combat strength was around three to four hundred, comparable to Goku during the Raditz saga, but his actual combat effectiveness was far superior.
This was due to his immense advantages in strength, nerve reflex speed, resilience, and energy quality. Techniques like the Kaio-Ken, which can multiply energy several times or even dozens of times in a short period, he could easily withstand the physical burden and use the tenfold Kaio-Ken.
The Starflash’s energy amplification was quite significant for him at this stage. But like the Cloud-Piercing Palm, the Starflash would merely be a sharp blade once his combat strength reached a certain level.
Through the Starflash, Broly could vaguely sense the Primordial Heavenly Demon trapped in the Xuantian Great Net. It was indeed very powerful; even after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, its energy alone was still in the tens of thousands.
In the Marvel universe, many variables affect power levels, and it’s likely the Primordial Heavenly Demon is far more terrifying in other aspects beyond its energy.
Even with Broly’s rapid improvement, it would take years to match it.
…
…
Zhuo Bufan used pre-prepared black ink and talismans to seal the Starflash in a specially prepared sword case. Then he took out a box of silver needles to channel the demonic energy from Wang Xuan-Zhe’s body.
Wang Xuan-Zhe’s flesh had been transformed by the demonic energy, becoming as hard as steel. Using his internal energy to straighten the silver needles, Zhuo Bufan struggled to insert them into the acupuncture points.
Looking at the ghastly wound on Wang Xuan-Zhe’s right arm, Zhuo Bufan couldn’t imagine how someone had torn his arm off in an instant during the fight.
Strands of demonic energy slowly seeped out along the silver needles, and before they could drift far, Nie Zheng slashed them apart with the Snowdrinker Sword. These remnants of demonic energy were extremely dangerous. If not promptly cleared, even skilled martial artists could succumb, and ordinary people would instantly be possessed, their personalities drastically altered.
Zhuo Bufan took a bottle of Qingling Pills, fed them to Wang Xuan-Zhe, and used his energy to help him absorb them.
Wang Xuan-Zhe, transformed by the Starflash into a half-human, half-demon creature, was riddled with wounds. If demonic energy continuously replenished him, he could sustain life. Without it, his lifespan was less than a month.
The elixir entered his body, and he awoke from his coma.
Though controlled by the Starflash, he clearly remembered everything that had happened. Upon questioning, Wang Xuan-Zhe divulged everything he knew.
The location of the Fiery Cloud Evil God’s valley, the hidden traps, and the recent progress of the Fiery Cloud Evil God’s martial arts.
Zhuo Bufan was thrilled after understanding the background.
“The Fiery Cloud Evil God has acted against nature, alienating everyone. Even the Starflash is in our hands; he is destined to lose.”
According to the Sword Saint’s judgment, if Bu Qingyun and Nie Zheng joined forces to use the Maha Infinite Technique, they could match the Fiery Cloud Evil God wielding the Starflash. Now, without the Starflash, the Fiery Cloud Evil God was sure to be defeated.
“Among the Fiery Cloud Evil God’s disciples, who practiced the Nine-Turn True Martial Divine Aura?”
Zhang Ye was more concerned about the Wudang Sect’s supreme technique, the Nine-Turn True Martial Divine Aura.
“That old fool wouldn’t teach us such a top-tier technique. We only learned second-rate martial arts, with hidden traps set by him. He only trusted that blockhead Crocodile God.”
Wang Xuan-Zhe coughed violently, laughing bitterly.
“But you killed that blockhead, Crocodile God. Truly, heaven is dooming the Fiery Cloud Evil God.”
He coughed violently:
“From what I know, the Fiery Cloud Evil God only practiced the Nine-Turn True Martial Divine Aura after obtaining it. He said its power was immense and limitless, but halfway through, he couldn’t continue and switched to the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic. We didn’t have access to his Sutra Pavilion and never saw that martial art.”
Zhang Ye suddenly opened his eyes. He could tell Wang Xuan-Zhe’s hatred for the Fiery Cloud Evil God was genuine, and his information seemed entirely truthful.
If the Fiery Cloud Evil God didn’t pass the Nine-Turn True Martial Divine Aura to anyone, where did Batman learn it? Could there have been other survivors from the Wudang Sect massacre?
