The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2794 Broken Knife
A thick black fog filled the air, trapping Zheng Tuo within. Despite this situation, Zheng Tuo remained calm and composed.

This wasn't the first time he'd faced this situation. Zhou Xuan's methods were far more formidable than Elder Ding's back then, and now, encountering something similar again, he seemed completely at ease.

Swipe!

Qian Feng and Sun Yi transformed into two streaks of light and charged forward.

Now empowered by the power of immortality, their combat strength was far greater than before. Their renewed attack immediately put some pressure on Zheng Tuo.

Not bad.

I was just worried that you weren't putting enough pressure on me, but I really like the pressure I'm feeling right now.

With a flick of his palm, the battle blade materialized in his hand, and he turned and engaged the two in fierce combat.

The overwhelming power raged on the scene, the blade energy pierced through everything, and swept in all directions. Zheng Tuo learned everything very quickly. Although the Blade Immortal Technique was somewhat difficult for him, he quickly mastered it and then applied it to actual combat.

brush!
With a flash of light, he instantly forced Qian Feng back, and then continued to swing his blade.

Faced with such a powerful Zheng Tuo, Sun Yi was immediately overwhelmed and forced to retreat.

Zheng Tuo was too powerful and domineering. At this moment, the aura he exuded was like a peerless battle sword that had just been born, its sharpness fully revealed.

The Sword Sect emphasizes elegance and restraint, while the Blade Sect emphasizes domineering and forceful tactics. The fighting styles of the two sects are completely different from their basic training methods.

Now that Zheng Tuo is fighting using the Sword Immortal Technique of the Sword Sect, he himself has undergone earth-shattering changes.

At this moment, he is the only one, he is the master of this world.

Such a powerful and domineering fighting style directly suppressed Qian Feng and Sun Yi.

The two, who had been strengthened by the surrounding formation, were now in a very passive position. The possibility of being killed at any moment made them panic.

"What a formidable Dao Shisi!"

Upon seeing this scene, Elder Ding immediately adopted a serious expression.

Without hesitation, he activated his own methods the moment a thought crossed his mind.

In the blink of an eye!
One after another, undead beings appeared all around.

As you can see, these undead creatures are all different in appearance, body shape, and race. The only thing they have in common is that they are all controlled by Elder Ding.

obviously.

This group of people must have been those who were tricked and killed by Elder Ding before. Upon closer inspection, there are no fewer than a hundred powerful individuals.

Hundreds of half-step Breakthrough Realm cultivators were slaughtered here; Elder Ding's methods are truly extraordinary.

Zheng Tuo remained highly vigilant, watching the hundred half-step Breakthrough cultivators charging towards him all at once.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and swung his sword.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Several streams of sword energy erupted from the battle blade, instantly engulfing all the enemies.

Faced with such a powerful attack, the hundred experts immediately used their respective skills to counter the fierce blade energy that was coming at them.

however.

What happened next was absolutely jaw-dropping.

Faced with so many sword energies, the hundred powerful warriors immediately found themselves in a fierce battle.

They each used their own methods to barely block the sword energy that Zheng Tuo unleashed, appearing to be at a complete disadvantage, which immediately caused Elder Ding to show a look of horror.

A hundred half-step Breakthrough Realm experts attacked at the same time, yet they were easily suppressed by this Dao Fourteen. Just where did this guy come from, a powerful figure with such terrifying and astonishing abilities?

In a trance!
Elder Ding seemed to see the shadow of the One-Sword Immortal.

Because they both cultivated the Sword Immortal Technique, and he had seen the One-Sword Immortal make a move, he immediately realized that this Sword Fourteen was a monstrous figure of the same level as the One-Sword Immortal.

"How could I be so unlucky as to encounter such a terrifying person?"

Elder Ding wanted to leave and didn't want to continue fighting, but then he changed his mind.

If I could kill this Dao Fourteen here and then devour it to help my cultivation, the improvement would probably be greater than that brought by a hundred half-step Breakthrough cultivators.

Greed prevented him from leaving this path.

A thought struck him, and he activated the incomplete divine array around him, focusing all his efforts on killing Dao Fourteen today to help him achieve great success in his cultivation.

With Elder Ding's strong support, the strength of the hundred experts increased rapidly.

They were able to easily block Zheng Tuo's sword flashes, and one by one they flew over and immediately engaged Zheng Tuo in battle.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

In the clash of weapons and the duel of supernatural powers, Zheng Tuo fought against a hundred strong opponents of the same level without being at a disadvantage, and even occasionally gained the upper hand, knocking back and piercing through the surrounding strong opponents.

"Dao Shisi, your struggles are pointless. How about this: you join the Undying Mountain, and I'll recommend you for the inner sect. Then, we can cooperate and kill other cultivators together. Believe me, this method of cultivation is several times faster than yours."

Elder Ding activated his supernatural powers, attempting to influence Zheng Tuo's mind in order to kill him.

"Your method of cultivation!"

Zheng Tuo understood just how astonishing the cultivation methods of the Immortal Mountain were.

The fundamental power of the Undying Mountain is the power of immortality, and this power of immortality, though called immortality, actually comes from the bodies of the dead.

This is also why Why Death Mountain chose to locate its ancestral land on the Mythical Battlefield.

According to the historical records of Undying Mountain, the Undying Ancestor obtained the body of a Wall Breaker in the Mythical Battlefield. He used that body to cultivate and broke through to become a Wall Breaker. From then on, he established Undying Mountain and became a hegemon of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Elder Ding's purpose in murdering various powerful figures was clearly to cultivate by utilizing the death energy left behind by those he had murdered.

He naturally disdained such a method of cultivation. For him, there was a better path to take: righteous energy, supreme Dao patterns, and the chaotic body.

Thinking of this, he became extremely wary of Elder Ding.

If they dare to set up a scheme here to kill a strong person of the same level, they must have a backup plan. I must not be deceived by their appearance.

Stay focused, wield your sword, continue battling in all directions, and continue practicing the Sword Immortal Technique, striving to achieve the Great Perfection of the Upper Part of the Sword Immortal Technique as soon as possible.

The blade flashed, and they went all out.

The combined efforts of a hundred powerful individuals around him put considerable pressure on him, and most importantly, these guys were all immortal.

Because of the surrounding immortal mist and the incomplete divine array, even if these guys were cut in half at the waist and their heads were severed, they could still gradually repair themselves and then rejoin the battle.

Elder Ding was able to kill hundreds of experts of the same level, which is precisely because of this kind of shameless attrition tactic.

He was extremely happy about this.

He needs pressure to help him cultivate the Blade Immortal Technique. It seems that nothing in the world can put more pressure on him than an opponent who can never be killed.

Since you want to wear me down with underhanded tactics, then I'll show you what a real war of attrition looks like.

Zheng Tuo may seem isolated and helpless, but the power he possesses is immense. In terms of energy expenditure, he is not afraid of anyone draining his energy, because usually he is the one draining others.

Maintain your focus, continue to use the undead creatures around you as a whetstone, and continue to cultivate your Sword Immortal Technique.

His cultivation of the Sword Immortal Technique quickly progressed, and the sword energy he unleashed became stronger and more powerful with each strike.

Clearly sensing the improvement from the Blade Immortal Technique, Zheng Tuo was full of confidence. He had only been practicing the Sword Sect's 108,000 Swords for a short time, yet he was already able to demonstrate extraordinary combat power, even using it in the battle against the Black Abyss. Now, the Blade Immortal Technique was at a similar level to the 108,000 Swords, so he was making rapid progress in this battle.

The hundred Undying Mountain creatures around him, who could not be killed, became his best whetstone.

"Impossible, impossible! How could your strength have increased so quickly? Impossible!"

As disciples of the Sword Sect who had practiced the Sword Immortal Technique, Qian Feng and Sun Yi clearly felt the difference in their abilities at this moment.

They could clearly sense that Dao Shisi's strength was increasing, with each wave of his sword energy becoming stronger than the last. Although the increase was not obvious and could only be sensed by the disciples of the Dao Sect, it was still terrifying.

They both believed that if the fight continued like this, Dao Shisi's strength would likely be enough to kill Elder Ding and all of them.

Qian Feng immediately informed Elder Ding of the information he knew, urging Elder Ding to quickly eliminate Dao Shisi.

"Well done, Dao Shisi! You're already in dire straits, yet you still dare to use my hundred strong subordinates as whetstones to hone your swordsmanship. You really make me angry."

Elder Ding's killing intent surged.

He had never encountered such a formidable opponent.

Despite the combined efforts of a hundred equally powerful individuals and his own interference from the outside, they were still unable to kill him. In fact, this guy used this as a whetstone to hone his skills and try to become even stronger.

Elder Ding's eyes flickered as he looked at Dao Shisi, who resembled a god of war.

With a flick of his wrist, he produced a dark, broken knife.

The broken sword was as black as ink, and various incomprehensible and complex Dao patterns were carved on it.

He obtained this broken sword by chance, and believed that it must have been a supreme innate treasure when it was intact, because it was not only as hard as fine stone, but also extremely sharp, capable of cutting through supreme acquired treasures.

With a thought, he immediately unleashed the black broken blade, heading towards Zheng Tuo's location.

Zheng Tuo, caught up in the battle, was unaware of the impending danger and continued his aggressive attacks.

suddenly!

His intuition told him that danger was approaching.

He suddenly twisted his head, and in that instant, a dark shadow flew past his neck.

brush!
Pfft!

His neck was instantly slashed, and blood gushed out, staining the ground.

"what!"

Zheng Tuo was horrified!

The attack was swift and fierce, and more importantly, it was completely silent; I didn't even notice it.

Could it be a supreme innate treasure?
He looked up and saw a broken black sword hurtling towards him.

The black broken sword consisted of only part of the hilt and part of the blade, and it could hardly be called a weapon or magic weapon at all. But it was this very thing that had almost severed his head.

The fact that this broken sword could silently evade detection while simultaneously harming its own body demonstrates its extraordinary capabilities.

His eyes flickered as he looked at the broken black sword.

The black broken sword then turned and disappeared into the incomplete divine array.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo instantly activated the Ten Directions World, monitoring the entire space within a certain radius around him.

really!

He had just opened the Ten Directions World when he sensed a fluctuation coming from it.

Without any hesitation, he flipped over to avoid a black light, and when he looked back, it was indeed a sneak attack from the black broken sword.

"You dodged it!"

Elder Ding was greatly alarmed upon seeing this!
He obtained the black broken sword by chance from the mythical battlefield. It was extremely sharp and could be used for stealthy attacks. He had used it many times without any problems, but now his opponent easily dodged it.

This knife truly sent chills down his spine.

The urge to escape resurfaced within me.

The reason he was able to kill a hundred strong people of the same level was because he was cautious enough and would flee at the first sign of danger.

Now, looking at Dao Shisi, who was like a war god suppressing a hundred strong people, he clearly realized that this guy was no ordinary person.

But then he thought about it.

If Dao Shisi leaves, he will surely file a complaint against the Dao Sect.

The Sword Sect is now quite powerful. If they were to target the Undying Mountain again, the Undying Mountain would likely suffer heavy losses.

He was born in the Undying Mountain, which is like home to him, and he would never allow the Undying Mountain to suffer any injustice because of him.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, and he decisively continued to attack, determined to kill Dao Shisi here and eliminate any future troubles.

Elder Ding went all out, and the incomplete divine array and the undying mist greatly enhanced the strength of all one hundred powerful individuals.

Zheng Tuo clearly felt the increasing pressure, realizing Elder Ding's determination to kill him.

Not bad, not bad, the pressure is just right right now.

With something on his mind, he continued to fight, battling the hundred powerful figures around him and dodging the constant sneak attacks from the black broken blade.

After a few rounds, the hundred powerful figures around him were still being beaten so badly that they could hardly lift their heads. If these people hadn't all been immortal, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

Under these circumstances, Zheng Tuo suddenly felt that his cultivation of the Sword Immortal Technique was slowing down, and eventually there was no improvement at all.

Have we reached the end?

he thought.

suddenly!

Danger strikes again.

It was obvious that it was that annoying black broken knife that was trying to ambush him again.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, turned around, and swung his sword with all his might.

brush!
The blade of light collided with the black broken sword instantly, and in a flash, the blade of light he swung out was shattered by the black broken sword. The next moment, the black broken sword continued to attack him without slowing down.

"What a sharp broken blade!"

Zheng Tuo dared not take the attack head-on, and turned to avoid the attack of the black broken blade.

Even though it's a broken magical artifact, it still has such a sharp edge, so it must be of a high grade.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly struck him.

With such a wonderful item placed before me, how could I not be tempted?

Perfect timing! I'm currently lacking a battle blade that matches my temperament, so why not seize this broken black blade and then refine it into a handy weapon using the weapon-forging furnace?

Thinking of this, he stopped fighting the hundred powerful warriors.

brush!
He arrived at a secluded corner and then unleashed a powerful burst of sword energy into the air.

Rumble!
Under such a powerful attack, the entire incomplete divine array was instantly shattered.
