Chapter 184: Chapter 186: The Power of One Punch

The Qi Cannon was thick enough for an adult, and the array patterns on it lit up instantly, radiating an immense oppressive force.

Such warships were usually used in wartime, and there were not many of them in Nanyuan Empire. Those who possessed such warships were either large sects from the Mortal World or Cross-borderers from the Immortal World.

The power of the Qi Cannon mounted on the warships was beyond imagination, and the cost of firing it was painfully high. Only after the Qi Burst was filled with energy could it attack, and the Spirit Stones it consumed could bankrupt a large family.

Mu Can, sizing up the so-called ordinary brother, realized that his strength was only at the Martial Venerate level. Although reaching Martial Venerate at such an age was indeed a small genius, Mu Can did not take him seriously at all, as he himself could even kill a Saint Heir from the Immortal World. He could also injure someone of Martial Saint Level from the Demon Clan, facing such a prodigal son, Mu Can had no emotional fluctuations.

Watching the slowly brightening cannon barrel, Mu Can was about to make a move, but found that the mad old man by his side had already charged forward with a howl.

Mu Can was aware of the mad old man’s strength, which was unquestionably at the Martial Saint Level.

With one punch, he shattered the Qi Cannon, which was in the process of charging.

"My heavens, is this old man even human?"

The mad old man did not stop at one punch. After shattering the Qi Cannon, he turned his head to look at the people on the warship.

He wept and laughed in madness.

"Die, die, you all must die."

Seeing the state of the mad old man scared everyone stiff, the formidable ferocity - if they knew the mad old man had almost slaughtered a Martial Saint of the Demon Clan just moments ago, they would probably be even more frightened.

Ordinary brother and the others were originally descendants of a Hidden Family from the Mortal World, and the ordinary brother was a direct descendant of the family. Originally, they came out on the warship intending to take a stroll in the Mortal World, as their family usually concealed themselves within their own spatial domain and rarely came out, especially now when the Mortal World was undergoing turbulent changes, their family decided to make an appearance. It was a good opportunity.

They naturally looked down upon the cultivators of the Mortal World from the bottom of their hearts, so even if the Mortal World was littered with corpses, it did not evoke a shred of sympathy in them.

In their eyes, the lives of these low-level cultivators living in the Mortal World were not worth mentioning. Even living was just a waste of the Mortal World’s Spiritual Energy.

And now, having rarely encountered a group of people, ordinary brother initially planned to have some fun with these people, but was shocked to find that he had kicked an iron plate - the strength of this old man was simply too perverted.

The Qi Cannon barrel, mixed with various rare metals, was actually smashed to pieces with one punch. He might have accepted it if the barrel had been twisted and deformed, but being smashed to pieces also crushed his spirit of resistance, making ordinary brother curious whether his family’s elder had such strength.

"What the hell did I provoke?" Ordinary brother’s face turned as white as if it had been coated with a thick layer of flour, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and he lacked even the courage to speak.

Just one punch, and the mad old man had shattered all their confidence. In the face of absolute power, all words are pale.

"Don’t hurt them," Mu Can stepped forward to intervene.

Brother Zan and the others looked at Mu Can with faces full of gratitude. "We bullied you like this, yet you still speak for us. You truly are a good person," Brother Fan thought, feeling regret for the first time for bullying others using his power.

But Mu Can’s next words plunged them from Heaven into Hell.

Mu Can continued, "Don’t damage my warship. These people’s lives are insignificant. But with this warship, we can reach the Immortal Ancient Academy more quickly."

The crazy old man, when plunged into madness, would completely lose his reason, acting solely on instinct. Yet, for some reason, as long as Mu Can spoke, he could understand.

Hearing Mu Can’s words, the crazy old man looked over at the people on the ship, who were trembling with fear.

"Weaklings, die, die," he then twisted around, returned to Mu Can’s side, and sat down on the ground, resuming his dazed posture.

Seeing the crazy old man withdraw, Brother Fan and the others felt a sense of relief from escaping death. Brother Fan gasped for air; he had been so tense earlier that he had forgotten to breathe, and only now did he realize he was gasping for breath.

Mu Can, with Muzi Ang, flashed aboard the warship.

"Whose family are you from?" Mu Can asked coldly.

He sensed that there were only dozens of people on the ship. The biggest advantage of this kind of warship was that it did not require many people to operate, only needing Spiritual Sense to control the direction and speed, and as long as there were enough Spirit Stones, the ship could have nearly endless power.

Mu Can knew about this type of warship because he had seen it when he was at the Immortal Ancient Academy. Having been impressed by it, he had always wanted a warship of his own, and now the opportunity had presented itself.

"I am from the Hidden Family, the Zhang Family, please don’t kill me," Brother Fan’s voice trembled, fearing that Mu Can would let the crazy old man kill them all without further discussion.

He was the rightful heir of the Zhang Family; he could not afford to die here. Brother Fan’s heart was filled with pain and regret, wondering why he hadn’t brought more bodyguards. However, considering the current situation, even having bodyguards would have been useless, as the old man seemed to be at the Martial Saint Level, and all the Martial Saints in his family were elder-level figures, who could not possibly come as his bodyguards. Little did Brother Fan know that Mu Can also had an Immortal Venerable Level protector; one could only imagine his expression if he knew.

Although Brother Fan was unlearned and ignorant, his intellect and cultivation were top-ranked within the Zhang Family; otherwise, he would not have been chosen as the future leader. Now, all he could think about was how to survive.

"A Hidden Family? What Hidden Family?"

"You’ve never heard of the Zhang Family?" It seems the Zhang Family has truly been hidden for too long. They were once a family that established a super Empire in the Mortal World, then bravely withdrew into a natural outer space area.

"What Zhang Family, and what are you doing out here?" Mu Can asked coldly.

Brother Fan turned his eyes, looking at the unsophisticated bumpkins in front of him, seeing that they were clueless about the Hidden Families, and apparently not people of significant background.

"The Mortal World is currently in a time of crisis, and we are here to contribute our part," said Brother Fan, though the reason Zhang Family returned to the Mortal World was simple.

Seeing signs of collapse in both the Demon World and the Immortal World, these small spaces connected to the Mortal World would eventually dissolve. It would be better to come to the Mortal World earlier and seize some advantageous locations.

"Lies, die, lies, die," the crazy old man hung in the air, sitting steadily with his legs crossed, watching Brother Fan, and chuckled, saying, "Watching the crazy old man’s smile, Brother Fan felt a chilling terror.
