Finger against finger, appearing before the Blood King, was a man like a mountain.

This person was not merely sturdy, but even through his martial raiment, one could sense a terrifying power circulating within his muscles.

He held his head high, straightened his back, as though nothing could make him submit, nothing could make him yield.

He was like a mountain, standing firm only where he willed to stand.

And now, he stood firm before the Blood King, still majestic and unwavering, unshakeable.

Even among the Sea Clan’s True Kings, the Blood King was a formidable and renowned strong individual, a terrifying presence that made even the White Elephant King, who lorded over his domain, tremble and cautiously seek explanations.

To be able to block the Blood King, one must be at least a contemporary True Person.

Who was this person?

Jiang Wang felt, not a vast Dao Yuan, but a vital blood pounding like a mountain, vast as the sea, within this person’s body.

The same doubt also resided in the Blood King’s heart.

He narrowed his blood-red pupils: “Who are you? You seem different from the other human strong ones this King has seen.”

That person replied: “A mere martial man, Wang Xiao!”

His voice was like an iron fist striking directly, simple, straightforward, unyielding.

This person was actually a martial dao strong individual!

Could it be a strong individual from the Futu Pure Land who came to support the Dingwei Region? But it hadn’t been heard before that the Futu Pure Land possessed such a strong individual. Even in the entire Mirage Realm, there were hardly any martial dao practitioners to speak of!

Jiang Wang was still desperately searching his memory when a petite figure, from who knows where, sprang out and suddenly jumped in front of him.

“Jiang Wang! It’s really you! Long time no see!”

With great joy, she punched him on the chest and laughed heartily: “Hahaha.”

Appearing before him was a delicate and adorable face.

Two long, high ponytails hung down behind her, almost reaching her calves.

She wore a short jacket, skirt-pants, and was barefoot. On each of her snow-white wrists, there was a circle of silver chains, also tied with exquisite small silver hammers, which lightly swayed with her movements.

She was petite like a porcelain doll, yet from within and without, she overflowed with vigorous vitality. It was as if she possessed infinite, enthusiastic life force, welcoming this world at all times.

Who else could it be but Sun Xiaoman?

Life’s joys are nothing compared to a long drought meeting sweet rain, or meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Especially in a place like the Mirage Realm, almost isolated from the present world.

Jiang Wang was both surprised and overjoyed: “Sun girl, how did you end up here?”

He had returned to Zhuang Country earlier, but hadn’t gone to Sanshan City, and was unaware that Sun Xiaoman had already left Zhuang Country, following her master on his travels.

“I came to the Mirage Realm with my master for training! We’ve been wandering around different regions and cultivating for a long time,” Sun Xiaoman said boldly. “Good brother, long time no see, why are you being so distant? We can just call each other by name!”

She still remembered Jiang Wang’s “righteousness and generosity with wealth,” as well as his active righteousness in the later mission to encircle the fierce beasts in Sanshan City. Her words were very intimate.

“Xiao Man,” Jiang Wang naturally then called out. “It’s really good to see you!”

“Hahaha,” Sun Xiaoman laughed heartily again, pointing her thumb towards the strong individual confronting the Blood King. “My master, the world’s first martial man! Martial dao twenty-six heavens!”

She flew up, leaned towards Jiang Wang’s ear, and whispered: “Actually, not necessarily the first.”

Martial dao twenty-six heavens!

Jiang Wang was startled.

What terrifying concept was this?

The path of martial dao, until now, no one had fully traversed. That infinitely profound scenery, up to now, was only imagined.

This was a brand new cultivation path, with three heavens as one realm, ascending to heaven step by step.

Three heavens equivalent to Wandering Pulse, six heavens equivalent to Zhou Heaven…

Walking to twenty-four heavens was comparable to Cave True, equivalent to a contemporary True Person.

Sun Xiaoman’s master, Wang Xiao, had already walked to martial dao twenty-six heavens, wasn’t that already approaching the Yan Dao strong ones?

As long as he crossed one more heaven, he would instantly reach the peak.

No wonder he dared to claim the world’s first martial man! On the path of martial dao, it was not an exaggeration to say he was walking at the forefront!

No wonder this person could so easily block the Blood King.

Two contemporary strong individuals were confronting each other at the peak there, yet Sun Xiaoman was here chatting and laughing with a joyful face.

The Blood King, with his pointed face and no eyebrows, shifted his gaze and looked over, a slight laugh on his lips: “This female child is quite interesting.”

Wang Xiao suddenly stretched out his fist, as if striking the air: “Don’t look around carelessly, or you’ll go blind.”

This fist seemed to hit nothing.

But Jiang Wang couldn’t help but constrict his gaze!

On the streets of Wenxi County city, Wang Changji had once told him that gaze has weight. And just now, in Wang Xiao’s very fist, he truly saw the “substance” of gaze.

Wang Xiao struck out the Blood King’s gaze and directly shattered it!

This was a confrontation Jiang Wang had never witnessed before.

Wang Changji relied on extraordinary talent, perhaps also the blessing of some secret technique, to be able to detect the real weight of gaze. While Wang Xiao, as a strong individual who had walked to martial dao twenty-six heavens, directly struck the illusory gaze into substance, and then shattered it.

He shattered not only the gaze but also the will and belief that the Blood King had placed upon it.

Expressed in the result, the Blood King could have, in the moment of seeing Sun Xiaoman, controlled Sun Xiaoman’s blood with a thought, dictating her life and death. But before his fiercely renowned divine ability could play its role, Wang Xiao, with one raise of his hand, shattered his “seeing Sun Xiaoman” step.

This kind of confrontation even exceeded Jiang Wang’s understanding.

But the only thing he could feel was power.

No need for other modifications, just naked power.

No wonder Sun Xiaoman could boldly, in this crisis-ridden Mirage Realm, not even give the Blood King a vigilant glance. With such a powerful master, she indeed had nothing to worry about.

And the Blood King’s expression also became ugly.

His slow voice suddenly turned ice-cold: “Let this King see how you will make this King blind!”

That pair of blood-red pupils suddenly fixed.

Even from a distance, Jiang Wang felt the blood within his own body, like a calm lake, stirring into waves, somewhat out of control.

He subconsciously stepped in front of Sun Xiaoman, wanting to help her block the wind and waves, but Sun Xiaoman instead flew forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Within that petite body, it was as if a terrifying fierce beast had awakened, her vital blood rushing to the sky like wolf smoke.

And under this pat from Jiang Wang, the blood within his body immediately calmed down.

The chaotic surge in a moment became like a calm lake.

He subconsciously protected Sun Xiaoman, yet he had forgotten that this seemingly small and weak Sun Xiaoman was already stronger than him during the time in Fenglin City. While he had made progress in these two years, Sun Xiaoman had not been idle either. People traveled the world at the same time, but she had a master who could be called the world’s first martial man leading the way.

Now, at least in controlling the physical body’s vital blood, she far surpassed him.

“Hehe,” Compared to Jiang Wang’s solemnity, Sun Xiaoman was much more relaxed: “Good brother, just relax and watch my master beat him to explode!”

In her words, she was full of confidence in her master.

They were still in the distance, yet they could already feel the fluctuation of the blood. One could completely imagine the pressure Wang Xiao, who directly faced the Blood King, was receiving.

But this person’s vital blood was condensed as one, seemingly unaffected in the slightest. Head-on, he delivered a slap, directly covering the Blood King’s pointed face.

In the Mirage Realm, originally there was no heaven and earth.

But this slap seemed to tear the heaven down, directly pressing towards the Blood King’s face.

From then on, there was heaven and earth!
