In the Secret Realm amidst the clouds built by the Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou, Chen Hua and others looked puzzledly at Zhou Zhukong and Bodhi Zen Master sitting opposite them.

"You two against one, how did it end up like this?"

Seeing the two looking feeble and obviously heavily injured, with a bit of disheveled appearance, Fang Zhi was unclear about what they had encountered.

"Even if Xia Kun used some secret techniques to forcefully repel you, it shouldn't have resulted in serious injuries, right?"

Grand Saint of Nine Spirits was also puzzled.

Their initial reason for setting up Zhou Zhukong and Bodhi Zen Master in ambush was because they knew Xia Kun thoroughly and had fought with him countless times, ensuring their safety even if any accident occurred.

Yet unexpectedly, the final result was that both had sustained significant injuries.

"There was an unexpected mishap, that guy had something given by the Abyss."

Zhou Zhukong sat calmly on a stool, with blood from his forehead dying half of his cheek red. His usually tied-up hair now loosened and spread casually behind him.

And on the Da Huang Tianlong Armor hanging next to Zhou Zhukong was a very noticeable fist imprint deeply engraved right on the chest, the result of trading punches with Xia Kun.

Fang Zhi suddenly had a peculiar expression, he looked at Zhou Zhukong, then turned his head to look at Zhou Yuzhi beside him.

"Looking at what?"

Zhou Yuzhi, confused, thought Fang Zhi was being odd again.

After observing carefully twice, Fang Zhi finally said with a sigh of realization,

"So you two really are biological brothers! I always thought Chen Hua was fooling me."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuzhi silently drew out the Mingxin Qian Dēng Sword, feeling that Fang Zhi was itching for a beating again.

Chen Hua also had a face full of disbelief; did he need to lie about this? And why did Fang Zhi speak like he was a habitual offender?

However, prompted by Fang Zhi, both the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits and Wan Wan then realized that, with his hair let down, Zhou Zhukong indeed looked quite similar to Zhou Yuzhi, especially their prominent and spirited eyebrows, almost exactly alike.

Though they had known about their relationship for a long time, perhaps due to their current positions and identities changing, everyone had almost never seen any intimate actions between them, nor had they ever demonstrated brotherly affection, so they subconsciously never took this matter to heart.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhukong let his hair down and wiped the usual supreme authority from his face that everybody suddenly felt how similar Zhou Zhukong and Zhou Yuzhi looked.

"That thing was probably meant to be given to Chen Hua, but now by accident, we forced it out."

Zhou Zhukong was long accustomed to the eager gazes of everyone discovering a new continent, as these people always behaved oddly.

After Zhou Zhukong calmly explained everything that had happened, Chen Hua laughed, patted Zhou Zhukong's shoulder, and said, "Plans are just plans, accidents are normal, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Zhukong lifted his eyelids, glanced at Chen Hua, and slapped his hand off his shoulder, speaking coldly with a clenched fist, "Next time I'll definitely defeat that guy fair and square, turning him into nothingness!"

As the Immortal Emperor of Xuanzhou, Zhou Zhukong always followed the Righteous Path, holding the world with supremacy to suppress everything. He normally wouldn't, nor would he disdain using overwhelming numbers against a foe.

But this time was special, joining hands with Bodhi Zen Master against the enemy had already violated his principles, and being injured in return was a disgrace to Zhou Zhukong!

Zhou Yuzhi and the others remained silent, saying nothing. They understood Zhou Zhukong's feelings well, probably they would have thought the same.

Every person holds their pride as a strong being, and while it's okay to let go sometimes, during important times, they still placed great importance on it.

"Bodhi Master, how are your injuries?"

Chen Hua didn't mind Zhou Zhukong, and turned his head to look at Bodhi Zen Master on the side, who had already taken the Medicine Valley Spirit Pill and was silently healing.

Compared to the bleeding Zhou Zhukong, Bodhi Zen Master appeared much more normal on the outside, but Chen Hua and the others could see that Bodhi Zen Master's injuries were much more severe than Zhou Zhukong's.

Xia Kun's departure forced the two of them back with a punch that was completely a trade of injury for injury.

Zhou Zhukong had the protection of Da Huang Tianlong Armor and barely blocked Xia Kun's punch, but Bodhi Zen Master could only resist with his flesh body.

The residual Fist Intent and Power of Laws from Xia Kun were now wreaking havoc inside Bodhi Zen Master, contending against his strength. If Chen Hua hadn't stepped in to suppress most of Xia Kun's power in time earlier, Bodhi Zen Master's situation would likely not be too optimistic now.

"Thank you for your concern, Benefactor Chen. Thanks to your earlier assistance and the Medicine Valley's Thousand Law Gold Spirit Pill, I only need a bit more time to recover; however, I might not be able to fight for these days."

When Bodhi Zen Master heard Chen Hua's question, he opened his eyes and smiled in response.

The Zen Body Cultivation technique was naturally good at defense and could quickly heal own injuries. Although Xia Kun had suddenly increased his strength by using a mysterious method, he was only eager to break away from the two of them and didn't engage further.

After giving each of them a punch, even though both of them had been injured to varying degrees, Xia Kun had no intention to pause and directly tore through his palm Buddha land to make an escape.
