World's Strongest Martial Warrior

0Liu Qingyi had requested a low-profile confrontation, so Wu Sheng refrained from using any of his skills or spells. Yet, as a near-Mahayana Realm cultivator, Wu Sheng's innate power was formidable. Without resorting to divine techniques, his strength, speed, and mastery over his life force and magical energies were at staggering levels.    

    

His sword strike was a blur of motion. In an instant, the blade's tip loomed before Peter Parker's chest. But as Wu Sheng delivered what should have been a devastating blow, Peter's expression remained unchanged. With a seemingly languid motion, he extended his palm and caught the sword between two fingers as effortlessly as one might catch a falling leaf.    

    

"The second move," Peter announced, and with a simple flick of his finger, a surge of force sent Wu Sheng stumbling back.    

    

Liu Qingyi couldn't hide her astonishment. Wu Sheng's two formidable attacks hadn't even grazed Peter Parker's clothing. It was no wonder that a prodigy like Li Xiao from the Nine Li Immortal Sect had been outclassed by Peter. Peter's prowess likely surpassed even his own.    

    

"Again!" Wu Sheng roared, frustration fueling his next sword swing at Peter.    

    

But no matter how cunning or ferocious Wu Sheng's assault, Peter neutralized it with ease. Before Wu Sheng realized it, he had launched a series of eight attacks, none of which so much as ruffled a hair on Peter's head.    

    

"Bang!" Another mighty clash saw Wu Sheng pushed back several paces by the force of Peter's palm. Regaining his footing, Wu Sheng quelled the turmoil within his Qi and a chilly smile crept into his eyes. "Kid, we're nine moves into our ten-move agreement."    

    

"Why the rush? There's still one move left," Peter replied, his lips curling into a nonchalant smile. "One move is all I need to defeat you."    

    

Enraged yet grinning, Wu Sheng retorted, "Really? Then show me how you plan to take me down in a single strike!"    

    

He had to concede that Peter Parker was exceptionally strong. If it came to a confrontation, he knew he stood no chance against him. Yet, he was a true cultivator on the cusp of attaining the Great Vehicle stage. Despite the young man's unmatched combat prowess, it seemed inconceivable that he could be defeated in a single blow.    

    

"Then you'd better watch closely," Peter Parker said coolly, vanishing suddenly without a trace.    

    

Wu Sheng's eyes narrowed in shock. Despite his near-Great Vehicle cultivation level, he couldn't detect even a hint of Peter Parker's presence in the room. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.    

    

Wu Sheng's heart raced with alarm. Without a moment's hesitation, he prepared to retreat to a corner for safety. But before he could escape...    

    

An invisible force slammed down, immobilizing him completely. He couldn't move at all.    

    

Then, in the blink of an eye, a long sword, radiating a golden light, materialized at Wu Sheng's throat, and Peter Parker's form emerged beside him.    

    

"You've lost," Peter Parker declared, looking at the astonished Wu Sheng. The Human Emperor Sword he wielded vanished just as quickly as it had appeared.    

    

"Hehe... Peter truly is gifted. Unless I'm mistaken, Peter must already be a quasi-Great Vehicle warrior, right?" Liu Qingyi finally found her voice after witnessing Peter Parker's effortless victory. Her eyes shone with barely concealed amazement.    

    

The technique Peter Parker used to overpower Wu Sheng was beyond the capability of even a Tribulation Passing stage prodigy. It suggested that Peter Parker's cultivation had indeed reached the Quasi-Mahayana Stage!    

    

In the vast Immortal Breaking Universe, a tribulation transcender was a rarity, a one-in-ten-thousand talent, yet not unheard of within the Ten Great Immortal Sects. However, a peerless genius of the Quasi-Mahayana Realm was a different story. Among the ten great sects, only three such individuals were widely recognized.    

    

Liu Qingyi had never imagined that Peter Parker would be among the ranks of the Quasi-Great Ekayāna Realm's unparalleled geniuses!    

    

A genius of the Quasi-Mahayana Realm was nearly unbeatable among those below the Mahayana Realm. She even feared that she might struggle to hold her own against him.    

    

In that moment, Liu Qingyi realized why Peter Parker had been so bold in his assertions. This guy truly had grounds for his confidence.    

    

With a slight smile, Peter Parker inquired, "Chairman Liu, do you think I'm now qualified to partner with Green Yuan Enterprise?"    

    

"Absolutely," Liu Qingyi responded, extending her hand to Peter Parker with a warm smile. "Peter, I'm looking forward to a fruitful collaboration!"    

    

Having Peter Parker, a quasi-supreme talent, on their side, the journey to Daoist Tian Yu's ruins seemed almost a sure success.    

    

"Here's to a successful partnership," Peter Parker replied, nodding in agreement.    

    

"Peter, we still have a few days before we depart for Daoist Tian Yu's ruins. You're welcome to stay at the Qing Yuan Chamber of Commerce in the meantime. I'll let you know when it's time to leave," Liu Qingyi explained, then turned to Xu Fei. "Elder Xu, I'm entrusting Peter to your care for the next few days."    

    

"Don't worry, Chairman. I'll ensure Peter is well looked after," Xu Fei assured her promptly.    

    

Having accomplished what he came for, Peter Parker saw no reason to linger. He respectfully bowed to Liu Qingyi and exited the hall with Xu Fei.    

    

Once they were gone, Wu Sheng, with a grave tone, addressed the president. "This young man's power is immeasurable. I doubt anyone below the Great Cheng Realm could best him. Are we certain about this collaboration?"    

    

Peter Parker and Xu Fei had just left, and Wu Sheng watched their retreating figures with a serious look. "President, this kid's strength is unfathomable. I'm afraid no one below the Great Cheng Realm can subdue him. Are we really going to cooperate with him?"    

    

A Quasi-Great Perfection prodigy with an enigmatic past and inscrutable might, the Azure Essence Merchant Guild simply had no way to control him.    

    

To partner with such an individual was akin to courting danger, akin to asking a tiger for its hide.    

    

"I understand your concerns," Liu Qingyi said calmly, "but we cannot allow the Black Cloud Chamber of Commerce to seize the Immortal Destiny within Daoist Tian Yu's ruins, no matter what."    

    

"I believe he is trustworthy. Collaborating with him offers more advantages than risks. Besides, if I'm bold enough to work with him, rest assured I have my precautions in place."    

    

Liu Qingyi continued, her voice tinged with concern, "What worries me most is actually the Black Cloud Merchant Guild. I have no idea what forces they'll dispatch this time. We need to find a way to investigate the Black Cloud Merchant Guild's capabilities."    

    

"Yes," Wu Sheng replied. In an instant, his figure flashed and he vanished from Liu Qingyi's sight.
