Chapter 983 Fist Martial Arts and Military Strategy
Zhou You had always been curious about where the Great Gentleman, as the eldest son of a feudal lord and a top expert of the royal family, came from.

Now I finally have the chance to see it.

It turns out that the Great Gentleman is actually a descendant of the Martial Saint, possessing the Martial Saint's legacy.

After the Ming Xuanwu Saint, the demonic creatures never had the opportunity to appear in public again.

Following the ancient lineage, the Primordial Martial Saint was followed by the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint, who then ushered in the prelude to the chaos and destruction caused by demonic creatures in the human world.

The greatest task for the generations of martial saints after the Myriad Martial Saints has been to defeat the Enchantress.

One of them, Mingxuan Martial Saint, inherited the original Martial Saint's ultimate skills and completely plunged the Demon Clan into darkness.

The great gentleman possessed extraordinary skills inherited from the Mingxuan Martial Saint, known as the "Great Nine Heavens Disarming Saint Method".
This unique skill is the true teaching of the Martial Saint, and its value is rarely seen throughout history.

Although Zhou You also inherited the skills of two martial saints, their value still cannot compare to the unique skills possessed by the Great Gentleman.

To give an example, the Great Nine Heavens Disintegration Holy Method is the "work" of the Ming Xuanwu Saint. Zhou You learned the Thirteen Forms of the Martial Saint from the Primordial Martial Saint, which can at most be considered "random notes". As for the invincible state of mind of the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint, hehe, it can't even be considered as written content, at most it can be considered as "literary style".

With such a powerful inheritance and being a Heavenly Sect level expert, the Great Gentleman is one of the most outstanding masters in the world.

If we had to rank them, he would definitely be in the top ten, alongside Nan Jian and Bei Ge.

No matter how many versions the Ten Demons of the Southeast update, they will always go all out when facing the Great Gentleman, using 80% to 90% of their main force, with the remainder being responsible for the Hundred Factions Alliance.

But this time, the great demons, led by Cun Yao, were noticeably arrogant in front of the Great Gentleman.

"Inch Demon, don't be arrogant. Do you really think we can't kill you beasts without the Hun Tian Axe?"

The reason why the great demons are so arrogant is that the Great Gentleman's weapon, the Hun Tian Axe, is still under repair and cannot be used.

The head of the bodyguards behind the great gentleman shouted.

The next moment, his personal guards shouted in unison, "How dare you launch a sneak attack!"

One after another, the Grandmaster-level guards made their move, shattering the void in front of them. Various elements of water, fire, and wind swirled, rose, and fell, turning the world upside down.

With a thud, a large chunk of flesh tore open on the back of the head of the guards, the wound a horrifying sight.

Through the gaping wound in the flesh, one could see the stark white skeleton, and the pulsating internal organs encased within...

With just one move, he severely injured the leader of the personal guards; this skill undoubtedly belongs to a top-tier demon.

In the camp of the Ten Demons of the Southeast, a flash of blood appeared at the fingertips of the Inch Demon. It was he who had just launched a sneak attack and managed to injure the leader of the Great Gentleman's personal guards who was right next to him.

Faced with a barrage of angry attacks from its numerous guards, it was able to withdraw without a trace, truly leaving no mark behind.

This move was undoubtedly a show of force to the great gentleman.

"you wanna die!"

The great gentleman spread his palm and swept it out. In an instant, his five fingers, like a vast sky, reached out and grabbed at the five great demons.

In an instant, his ferocity was revealed. He captured all five great demons, including the Inch Demon, in his palm without exception.

Whether it was the first-tier Inch Demons or the remaining second-tier demons, they all felt immense pressure and threat, and couldn't help but raise their full strength to fight back.

"The Divine Art of Disintegration is already so formidable when used bare-handed; if combined with a divine weapon, wouldn't it be...?"

Zhou You heard a governor's remark and a thought suddenly struck him.

This unique skill originated from the Martial Saint Mingxuan, who in turn learned from the Primordial Martial Saint, thus bearing some of the latter's influence.

Combining the name of the ultimate technique with the trajectory of the great gentleman's move, a slight flash of inspiration struck him.

The "Soldier Strike" and "Lesson" techniques in the Thirteen Forms of the Martial Saint, when compared with these techniques, reveal even more details.

The highest achievement of the "Soldier's Strike" technique is "Soldier's Disintegration," which sends the enemy to their final rest. Therefore, this ultimate skill truly lives up to its name. Indeed, if a great gentleman wields a divine weapon, he can unleash even greater power.

The many masters around him were all discerning individuals, and some had even fought alongside the Great Gentleman, knowing the importance of the Hun Tian Axe to him.

They were all lamenting the loss of the Great Gentleman. If he had the Hun Tian Axe in his hand, how could he have allowed these great demons to run rampant?

But is the Hun Tian Axe really still being repaired on Huo Guan Mountain?

A smile flickered across Zhou You's lips. Feinting to the east while attacking in the west, feigning weakness while revealing strength—this is military strategy, and also tactics.

Just as the five great demons, including Cun Yao, were using their abilities to break through the Great Gentleman's grasp, they suddenly found that the surrounding temperature had become scorching hot, as if ten thousand giant volcanoes had fallen from the sky.

The air was tinged with orange, twisting and swirling, as if one were inside a furnace.

"Oh no, that's..."

The demon's voice turned sharp and terrified, as if it had seen something terrible.

The next moment, its sound stopped abruptly, as it was vertically split in two by a thin line that fell from the sky.

"receive!"

As Zhou You's voice rang out, the Demon Transformation Cauldron emitted a suction force from afar, drawing the two halves of the demon's corpse into it.

He cherished this hard-won opportunity and frantically activated the Infant Phoenix Devouring Dragon Technique, refining it with the cauldron while simultaneously absorbing dragon energy.

As one of the Ten Demons of the Southeast, Wu Yao struggled even after being cut in half, but after falling into the Demon Transformation Cauldron, it could no longer cause any waves and was refined into billowing smoke that soared into the sky.

It gave its life as a warning: the fatal attack just now came from... the Hun Tian Axe.

"what?"

At the edge of the line of sight of the great demons like Cun Yao, the Great Lord held a 'wheel' with a handle in his hand. Such a strange weapon was none other than the Hun Tian Axe, which made countless demons tremble with fear.

The source of the intense heat just now was this newly forged Hun Tian Axe, which still carried residual heat.

Looking at the damaged parts of the Hun Tian Axe, it is so badly damaged that it can no longer be repaired and there are no traces of the damage.

At its peak, the Great Gentleman wielded the Hun Tian Axe and with a single swing, slain the second-tier Wu Yao.

When was it fixed?

In response to the demon's question, Zhou Nanwang replied, "I filled the cauldron with demon corpses and refined it day and night. Finally, I gathered enough to repair the divine weapon!"

"The Hun Tian Axe was already prepared before you arrived!"

“You beasts, you have brought your own heads to the executioner’s blade, you have no one to blame but yourself.”

Today's situation is a trap, a way to lure wolves into the house, specifically designed to ambush these ten Southeast Demons who are attacking.

The cun demon sneaked in, launching a sneak attack. He thought he had gotten away with it without anyone noticing, but he had already fallen into the enemy's trap.

Opposite him was the Great Gentleman wielding the Hun Tian Axe, at his peak. Some time ago, the Ten Demons of the Southeast were all in formation, led by Cang Yao, to fight against him, but they still suffered a crushing defeat in the end.

Today, Cang Yao is not here, and half of the ten demons from the southeast have come. Wu Yao, who was just killed, how can he be a match for the Great Lord?

"Stay!"

The Great Gentleman's target is the Wu Yao. The second and third tiers of great demons are insignificant. If he can kill the first tier of Cun Yao, he will have won a great victory today.

The previous demons were just an appetizer; the main event is yet to come!
