Born Towards the Sun

Mi Chuan headed west.

The two Fuso Martial Saints following behind him couldn't hold back their questions. The one named Sato Juro asked:

"Mr. Mi Chuan, isn't it somewhat impolite for us to leave like this?"

"What if those two Great Xia Martial Saints didn't manage to defeat them?"

"It might be hard to explain when we return to the Western Continent."

The other Fuso Martial Saint, Suzuki Yoken, also spoke up:

"After all, it's fourteen Martial Saints against two."

"Even if the other Great Xia Martial Saint shows up, that's only three people."

"The difference in numbers is huge."

Mi Chuan chuckled with a cold laugh:

"If even one of those fourteen people makes it back alive, I'll take your surname from now on!"

The two Fuso Martial Saints immediately apologized respectfully:

"Mr. Mi Chuan, that's not what we meant."

"We wouldn't dare ask Mr. Mi Chuan to change his surname."

Mi Chuan glanced at these two stray dogs.

He thought to himself:

"Talking with these devils is so boring."

"If it were our fellow Great Xia people, they would have already taken the bet and argued with me by now."

Holy City.

The fourteen remaining Martial Saints stood atop the Wei Corporation skyscraper.

They watched a slender figure in the villa district far to the north, walking step by step towards them.

What they found somewhat difficult to comprehend was that the person wasn't walking on the ground.

They were treading on air.

"How can she walk in the air?"

"It must be some mysterious Qinggong technique from Great Xia."

"Why is she a woman?"

"Didn't the intelligence say the three Martial Saints remaining in Great Xia were all men?"

...

Just as the fourteen Martial Saints were puzzling over this,

a massive, blood-red sword shadow appeared to their south.

The Dugu Sword Demon, his hair and beard flowing wildly, stood atop a skyscraper to the south of the group.

The feeling the fourteen Martial Saints got upon seeing the Dugu Sword Demon was completely different from when they saw Wei Qianqiu.

They instantly felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

"This man has incredibly powerful life force and martial intent. He's probably already at the peak of Martial Sainthood."

"No wonder he didn't flee immediately after sensing our arrival."

"We must absolutely not engage this man alone; we must attack together."

"It seems these two fools are the only ones left. The other one must have slipped away quietly."

"No matter. We'll kill these two Martial Saints first, then destroy the entire Holy City."

The Dugu Sword Demon's aura was simply too overwhelming.

No one present dared to underestimate him.

Wei Qianqiu walked calmly until she was a hundred meters in the air, standing quietly in the empty sky.

Looking at the fourteen Martial Saints, she said with a light laugh:

"You're surrounded!"

Surrounded?

The fourteen Martial Saints all wore expressions of ridicule.

"Are Great Xia's Martial Saints all this arrogant?"

"With just two Martial Saints, they dare say they've surrounded fourteen of us?"

"If we all combine our strength, we could easily kill both of them with at most two attacks."

"Great Xia has been the world's hegemon for too long. Even its Martial Saints are this proud nowadays."

...

While speaking, the fourteen Martial Saints circulated their life force and each unleashed their own Martial Dao Domains.

Various martial phantom images formed around their bodies.

Wei Qianqiu smiled faintly and also unleashed her Heaven-Man Unity Martial Dao Domain.

A golden sunflower bloomed at her feet.

Soon, a second golden sunflower appeared.

Then one after another.

Finally, they spread continuously for a hundred meters.

The phantom image of a field of golden sunflowers materialized out of thin air before the fourteen Martial Saints.

A hundred meters in the air, the golden sunflower field occupied a full hundred-meter radius.

All fourteen Martial Saints wore expressions of shock.

"How can the range of his martial phantom be so vast? It's larger than all fourteen of ours combined."

"Even a peak Martial Saint's life force domain shouldn't be this big."

"His comprehension of the technique must have reached Heaven-Man Unity."

"Wasn't the Wei family's Martial Saint practicing that perverse self-mutilation technique?"

"That technique Zhang Bowen taught... I originally thought it would only change one's personality, I never expected it to be this formidable."

"No matter how large the Martial Dao Domain is, it can't possibly be a match for fourteen Martial Saints."

...

Although everyone was shocked by Wei Qianqiu's Martial Dao Domain,

and didn't understand why its range was so extensive,

they were still confident in their numerical advantage.

At this moment, it wasn't just those fourteen foreign devils who were shocked.

Even Dugu Sword Demon stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"This is the Half-Step Martial God!"

Wei Qianqiu didn't like wasting time on fighting and killing.

She looked at the group and said:

"Then let's get started quickly!"

After speaking, she spread her arms and looked up at the sky, whispering softly.

"Born towards the sun!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear and pleasant.

Like that of a young girl.

Yet this soft voice echoed in everyone's ears.

It spread throughout the entire Holy City.

The crowds being evacuated all looked around in confusion.

"Whose little daughter's voice is that? So lovely."

"Why does it feel like it's right by my ear?"

"I feel like it's coming from the sky."

...

The next moment, following Wei Qianqiu's words "Born towards the sun,"

the gloomy sky above the Holy City suddenly let through a thin beam of sunlight.

Then that thin beam of sunlight gradually widened.

The dark clouds above Wei Qianqiu's head slowly parted,

revealing a patch of clear sky.

Sunlight poured down,

illuminating the entire golden sunflower field like a sea of golden fire.

Golden life force emanated from around Wei Qianqiu's body, like a sun.

Her originally gentle and soft aura began to transform into something supremely yang and rigid.

Her body also began to rapidly expand at this moment.

The originally slender, graceful young girl had now become a brawny man over two meters tall.

Exaggerated muscle lines covered his entire body.

Even the plain dress she wore was forcefully burst open.

The fourteen Martial Saints were gradually becoming uneasy.

"Is that 'Sunflower Manual' Zhang Bowen posted online really that powerful?"

"How did he become a man?"

"I have a feeling he's even stronger than the guy to the south."

"I'm also a peak Martial Saint, I've also achieved Heaven-Man Unity, so why does the gap feel so vast?"

...

The Dugu Sword Demon's greatest dream in life was to fight the old monster of the Wei family before he died.

Now, without even fighting, he understood he was absolutely no match for Wei Qianqiu.

The other's realm had already surpassed his comprehension.

"So this is the gap between a peak Martial Saint and a Half-Step Martial God."

The Dugu Sword Demon had never acknowledged anyone as superior.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to concede.

At this time, the Duan family's Martial Saint, Duan Yuan, also couldn't help but step out of his room.

Looking at the glittering golden sunflower field a kilometer away,

his heart filled with fear.

"Has the old monster of the Wei family made a move?"

He had been brooding over it in his heart.

A great battle between Great Xia and foreign Martial Saints, and he couldn't participate.

Because if he left,

by the time he returned, the Duan family might be gone.

Just then,

commotion broke out at the entrance of the family corporation's headquarters.

The streets were filled with people evacuating.

And the family members were also preparing to evacuate.

After all, if a group of Martial Saints fought, they could easily destroy a city.

At that moment, a Martial Venerable from the family rushed in.

"Ancestor, people from the Devouring Heaven Club are attacking!"

"Our personnel who were preparing to evacuate were ambushed by the Devouring Heaven Club."

"The casualties were heavy, and the clan's disciples were almost completely scattered."

"The leader of the Devouring Heaven Club has also appeared, having slain five of our Martial Venerables."
