Supreme Son-in-Law

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Utterly Defenseless

So, he’s already impatiently wanting to show off his power and give everyone a shock.

"What’s up with the boss? He’s so fired-up."

"Is he planning to mess with Brother Zhang? But the boss isn’t a match for Brother Shangguan."

"Indeed! Boss Zhu used to be so badass! Now he’s old; it’s such a pity!"

"If Boss Zhu still had his former power, how great would that be."

With the commotion Elder Zhu made, many people gathered around and started discussing.

Actually, for many people, it’s a significant loss for the nation that Elder Zhu’s power has declined so severely.

"Haha! Elder Zhu, are you looking for me?" Amid the chatter, an elderly man in a robe let out a laugh as he approached.

South Deputy Guardian God - Zhang Wu!

At his peak, Zhang Wu was at the pinnacle of the Martial Saint realm, and even though he had just entered this peak, his power was quite formidable. noveldrama

However, after years of wear and tear, Zhang Wu’s decline is slightly better than Elder Zhu’s, but not by much. He had regressed to an advanced Martial Saint.

In fact, with a slight further decline, he might fall to an intermediate Martial Saint.

Yet, even under these circumstances, Zhang Wu could still boast in front of Elder Zhu, and he couldn’t recall how long he had been gloating in front of him.

"Who else can I be looking for besides you?" Today, Elder Zhu was brimming with confidence and disdainfully retorted.

"Huh?" Witnessing this, Zhang Wu was a bit shocked.

According to the previous narrative, Elder Zhu would definitely not try to show any presence in front of him, and would even avoid him.

But today, something was strange; it made Zhang Wu wrinkle his brow.

"Boss, what do you want from me?" Unable to deduce the situation, Zhang Wu asked with a smile.

"Come on! Let’s have a fight." Elder Zhu beckoned with his finger, signaling his intent.

"What...." Hearing Elder Zhu’s words, Zhang Wu was somewhat bewildered, genuinely not expecting Elder Zhu to have the courage to challenge him proactively.

Not only Zhang Wu but even the bystanders showed expressions of disbelief.

"What’s up with the boss? Isn’t this just asking for humiliation? He intends to disgrace himself!"

"Is the boss feverish? Did he become muddled? How else could he utter such words?"

"Boss! How should we describe you?"

"Seeing the boss’s serious expression, does he have masochistic tendencies? Wants to get beaten?"

....

For a moment, everyone looked at Elder Zhu speechlessly, feeling that he wasn’t himself today, even guessing if he had been provoked and wanted to be beaten.

"Boss! Are you serious? If we really fight, I won’t hold back." Taken aback, Zhang Wu joked.

"Who asked you to hold back? Looking down on someone? I’ve said it today; if you’re brave enough, give me a good beating. But I’m afraid you don’t have the skill, so stop with the useless talk." Elder Zhu suppressed his laughter and provocatively stated with a serious face.

"The boss is really fierce today! I feel like he’s going to be miserable soon."

"It’s over! Get a doctor for the boss, book a bed for a month in advance."

"Oh, why provoke him! This is just setting oneself up to be beaten. I don’t know what’s gotten into the boss."

Hearing Elder Zhu’s arrogant words, everyone held their heads with a speechless face, even starting to prepare to call a doctor for him.

In their view, since Elder Zhu said such words, how could Zhang Wu hold back? He would undoubtedly beat Elder Zhu until he was rolling on the ground.

"Alright! Elder Zhu, you said it. Then today, I won’t be courteous." Indeed, with Elder Zhu’s words, Zhang Wu was ready to step up and teach Elder Zhu a lesson.

Suddenly, Zhang Wu released his aura without reservation.

Advanced Martial Saint!

Even though he had just entered the advanced Martial Saint level, it was significantly stronger than Elder Zhu’s previous intermediate Martial Saint.

"Boss! How’s my power?" After releasing his aura, Zhang Wu provocatively asked with a smile.

"Not impressive!" But, Elder Zhu shook his head, responding dismissively.

"Oh! Then I must see what confidence you have now, Boss." Hearing Elder Zhu’s words, Zhang Wu crossed his arms, eager to see a joke.

"Then watch closely and don’t blink." Elder Zhu mockingly chuckled and released his aura without reservation.

Intermediate Martial Saint!

Advanced Martial Saint!

Martial Saint Peak!

Ultimate Martial Saint Peak!

In an instant, Elder Zhu’s realm rose rapidly, directly reaching the ultimate peak of the Martial Saint realm, just a step away from being a half-step Martial God.

"What...how is this possible?"

"Elder Zhu’s power is restored? Restored to the Martial Saint ultimate peak? Is this for real?"

"My God! How did Elder Zhu achieve this? Not only did he restore his power, but he also appears much younger; this is too exaggerated!"

"Great! The boss’s power is back; no wonder something seemed different today, now that he has confidence, well done."

"Boss mighty! Boss domineering!"

In an instant, witnessing Elder Zhu’s realm, everyone was dumbstruck; each and every one was frozen.

Simultaneously, they burst into tears of joy, loudly shouting in genuine happiness.

"What...what’s happening? How did he regain his power? No point fighting now!" The once arrogant Zhang Wu, upon witnessing this scene, was directly dumbfounded, almost scared to his knees.

"Boss, I just remembered I have something else to do; let’s talk another day." At the same time, as he reacted, Zhang Wu turned to flee.

Indeed, with such a disparity in power, going forward would only result in a severe beating; he wouldn’t be so foolish.

"Come back here!" But Elder Zhu, having a chance to show off, wouldn’t let him escape so easily, and directly grabbed him and pulled him back.

With Elder Zhu’s action, an invisible force in the world restrained Zhang Wu, preventing him from moving.

Zhang Wu wanted to resist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape Elder Zhu’s control.

It was at this moment that Zhang Wu truly believed that the boss had indeed regained his power, and with his ability, he was utterly unable to break free, promptly becoming much more obedient.

"Come over and take your beating!" Seeing this, Elder Zhu laughed gleefully and began pummeling him.

"Ah!"

"Ahh!"

In an instant, Zhang Wu inside the arena suffered terribly, with cries that were indescribably miserable.

"Tsk! Wasn’t Brother Zhang showing off before? He’s dumbfounded now, eh?"

"Strike! Boss, hit him hard! For his arrogance earlier."

"Haha! After Elder Zhu’s power recovery, he’s unbelievably strong; our South will rise."

Witnessing this scene, the onlookers couldn’t be happier with laughter.

They were delighted, Elder Zhu was delighted, but Zhang Wu couldn’t be more miserable, feeling like he wanted to die.

He could never have imagined that he would be utterly powerless against Elder Zhu, truly at the mercy of others...
