The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2795 Demonic Qi
"what!"

When Elder Ding saw that his incomplete divine array had been broken so easily, he immediately became extremely flustered.

"how did you do it!"

Elder Ding instinctively asked aloud, but Zheng Tuo had no obligation to respond to his question.

Brush brush!
The blade energy, carrying immense power, struck at that moment. Elder Ding had no way to dodge and swung the broken black blade in his hand in a backhand motion.

brush!
The black broken blade was incredibly sharp, instantly shattering all the incoming blade energy.

"What a powerful broken blade!"

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but feel greedy.

He was about to make another move against Elder Ding, but at that moment, a hundred powerful figures rushed in and surrounded him.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo's eyes flashed, and he unleashed a horizontal slash of sword energy.

At this moment, this group of people could no longer help him improve his strength, so he did not hesitate to add his righteous power into the sword energy.

The sword energy at this moment was completely different from before. With a single strike, the surrounding hundred powerful figures were immediately struck with deadly force.

Some of them were cut in half at the waist, some had their arms severed, and some had their heads thrown to the ground.

Such a scene would normally be common, and such scenes often occurred during the battle just now. However, this time it was completely different because Zheng Tuo used the power of righteousness.

The power of righteousness can suppress all evil forces in the world, and the power of immortality is clearly an evil force.

As a result, the undead creatures that were killed could no longer heal their wounds and were killed on the spot.

"You bastard! What have you done?!"

Elder Ding immediately identified the problem.

He became extremely flustered.

To know.

The hundred powerful figures at this moment are the foundation of his cultivation. If any one of them were to perish, it would be an immeasurable loss for him. However, dozens of these powerful figures have been killed and are unable to repair themselves.

His heart was bleeding.

"Hmph!" Zheng Tuo snorted coldly, "Elder Ding, your use of such methods to force powerful figures to help you cultivate is against the will of Heaven. Today, I will kill you to rid the people of this scourge."

Zheng Tuo continued his aggressive moves.

The power of the Blade Immortal Technique, imbued with righteous energy, increased several times over, instantly annihilating a hundred powerful figures without leaving a trace of their armor, leaving them utterly invincible.

"What power is that!"

Elder Ding sensed the immense power within the sword energy.

He did not recognize the power of righteousness, but he understood that this power almost completely suppressed his immortality.

The thought of escaping resurfaced, but then he revealed a fierce expression.

With a thought, the hundred powerful warriors fighting ahead instantly transformed into wisps of mist, which then flew towards him.

In an instant!
All one hundred powerful individuals merged into his body.

From afar, Elder Ding's figure, shrouded in the black mist of immortality, continued to grow larger and larger, eventually reaching a height of over nine meters, appearing before Zheng Tuo like a demonic giant.

"Dao Shisi, prepare to die!"

Elder Ding urged the black broken sword in his hand.

The black broken blade moved with astonishing speed, reaching Zheng Tuo in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Tuo dodged the attack, not wanting to collide with the black broken blade.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Despite the relentless attacks of the black battle blade, Zheng Tuo dodged and weaved, unable to inflict any damage on him no matter how unpredictable or rapid the blade's movements were.

Seeing this, Elder Ding attacked again without saying a word.

He raised his hand and waved it, and countless black poison needles appeared all around him. The needles were as thin as hair, and they were densely packed together, filling the entire sky.

"go with!"

With Elder Ding's stern shout.

In an instant!
Countless poisonous needles rained down from the sky, whistling as they hurtled towards Zheng Tuo's location.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo unleashed several sword energies with his backhand, attempting to shatter all the incoming poison needles.

The blade energy could indeed shatter some of the poison needles, but only a portion. The remaining densely packed poison needles attacked, immediately chasing Zheng Tuo as he fled in all directions.

He could sense the immense threat posed by the poisoned needle, so he avoided a direct confrontation.

Just now.

brush!
The black broken blade came flying, passing right under him at a tricky angle.

Pfft!

Zheng Tuo felt a chill on his feet and looked down to find that both his feet had been severed.

"What a sharp broken blade!"

Zheng Tuo activated his secret technique and immediately repaired his injured feet.

He knew how resilient his physical body was; even as a Dao body, it was not something that ordinary magic weapons could easily cut through.

The black broken blade had appeared silently and severed his legs in an instant without him noticing, a scene that horrified him.

Upon closer examination, it felt as if he were facing an attack from a wall-breaker, leaving him no time to react.

This is merely a broken blade; if the blade were intact, I would likely have been killed here.

With a thought in mind, he turned over and continued running, constantly dodging the attacks of the poisoned needles.

Elder Ding's methods are truly extraordinary. After absorbing the power of a hundred strong individuals, he has reached a level where he can compete with me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel joy.

The hundred powerful figures had just failed to put pressure on him or help him cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique, but now Elder Ding was able to put pressure on him and continue to help him cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique.

well.

He turned around and used Elder Ding as a whetstone to continue cultivating his Sword Immortal Technique, striving to perfect the upper part of the technique as soon as possible.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Brush brush!
The sword energy, carrying immense power, raged across the heavens and earth, transforming into countless sword lights that instantly collided with the pursuing poison needles.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously as the two sides engaged in a frenzied clash of techniques.

"Dao Shisi, you are doomed to die today!"

Elder Ding was determined and used every means at his disposal to kill Dao Shisi; he absolutely could not allow him to leave alive.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo...

He was already used to hearing such words that certain death was inevitable.

obviously.

There is only one possibility for Elder Ding to say such words at this moment: he has reached his limit and is powerless to use any other means. Therefore, he can only use words to put pressure on me.

Is this the only method available?
Zheng Tuo was quite disappointed by this.

He had originally intended to continue cultivating the Sword Immortal Technique with Elder Ding's help, but now that he sensed that Elder Ding had reached his limit, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

I thought Elder Ding had some tricks up his sleeve, but now it seems I completely overestimated him.

Also.

Among the powerful figures he encountered along his journey, some were absolute prodigies of their generation, while others were Dao Breakers, some of whom he had even fought several times. Elder Ding was now merely an ordinary half-step Dao Breaker, perhaps dazzling enough in the eyes of others, even worthy of being called an ancestor and enjoying local praise.

But in my current eyes, it can only serve as a temporary whetstone.

Have I reached that level yet?

At this moment, Zheng Tuo had such a thought in his mind.

But such thoughts quickly disappeared.

Compared to 99% of cultivators, he is indeed a god, but compared to the remaining strong ones, he is still as weak as an ant.

At this moment, we must not be careless, we must not let our resolve waver, and we must not become lazy and fail to make progress.

Thinking of this, he immediately became serious.

He regarded Elder Ding as a very important opponent, so he maintained his composure and caution, and did not allow himself to be in a superior position.

With his mind set on something, he continued to make forceful moves.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Brush brush!
The blade flashed, ravaging the heavens and earth, yet he maintained his cultivation.

His cultivation of the Blade Immortal Technique was progressing smoothly, and he was now reaching a high level, able to unleash seven blades in one go.

The cultivation of the Blade Immortal Technique is very interesting. At the beginning of the cultivation, the focus is on the amount of blade energy that can be unleashed. At most, one can unleash nine blades in one go. Then, one continuously compresses one's blade energy, and each compression is twice as powerful as the previous one, until the last blade unleashed is more powerful than the combined power of nine blades.

After that, continue to swing nine more times, then compress nine more times, repeating this process continuously until it becomes limitless.

The essence of the Sword Immortal Technique is very simple, so simple that anyone can learn it. However, to master it and cultivate it to its ultimate level, the talent and comprehension required are not something that everyone can fully comprehend.

Zheng Tuo has only cultivated to the seventh level of the first stage. According to the levels of the Sword Immortal Technique, nine levels are enough to complete the upper part of the technique, so he is still very far from perfect.

take it easy.

He maintained his mindset and continued his spiritual practice.

In contrast, Elder Ding, who was not far away, appeared unusually irritable.

Despite using every means at his disposal and going completely berserk, he only managed to sever Dao Shisi's legs.

Seeing that Dao Shisi seemed to be acting normally, he frowned slightly, feeling that something was very wrong.

Before this, every time his opponent was injured by his black broken sword, there would be problems, but this Sword Fourteen was unharmed, which puzzled him greatly.

To know.

There was a power on the black broken blade that he didn't know why it existed, a power that could erode a person's heart and drive them into a state of extreme madness.

At this moment, it seems that power is useless against Dao Shisi.

Just as he was filled with confusion.

suddenly!

Dao Shisi, who was unleashing his full power in the distance, suddenly stopped!
Upon seeing this, Elder Ding immediately smiled.

Without saying a word, he launched a forceful attack, attempting to kill Dao Shisi in one fell swoop and eliminate any future troubles.

At the same time, Zheng Tuo felt a strange power surge out of his body.

That power was extremely domineering and forceful, and at this moment it was surging wildly within his body, trying to devour him in one go.

"This is?"

Zheng Tuo carefully sensed it and was greatly shocked, because he found the power somewhat familiar.

Is this demonic energy?
He had once cultivated demonic energy, but because the quality of the demonic energy was not high, he stopped cultivating it later.

Now, here, he could actually sense the presence of demonic energy.

With a sudden thought, he tried to control the demonic energy within his body, following the method he had used to control demonic energy.

All of a sudden!
He began to control the demonic energy within his body, but this control only allowed him to suppress the demonic energy; he could not use it.

The demonic energy within him is now clearly stronger than the demonic energy he once cultivated.

Thinking this through, he had an idea. He immediately enveloped the demonic energy within his body with supreme Dao patterns and began to refine it for his own use.

Because he had previously controlled demonic energy, he was able to refine the demonic energy within his body at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few breaths, the demonic energy within his body was completely refined and transformed into his own power.

outside world.

He continued his attack, battling Elder Ding, while simultaneously becoming extremely curious about the demonic energy within his body.

obviously.

The demonic energy within him came from that broken black sword.

In this light, is it possible for me to control the black broken sword using the demonic energy within my body?

With this in mind, he began to try it, but the results were minimal.

He controlled too little demonic energy, while Elder Ding's control over the black broken sword was far superior.

Thinking about this, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

If the black broken blade continues to strike him, he can absorb more demonic energy and refine it for his own use.

Look back.

Once he controls more demonic energy than Elder Ding, wouldn't the black broken sword be at his disposal?

Such an idea is very bold and risky, but upon closer examination, such a method is absolutely feasible.

Now that things had come to this, he no longer had the desire to continue fighting Elder Ding, because the pressure Elder Ding was putting on him was no longer about making him cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique.

brush!
The black broken blade came flying, and he deliberately failed to dodge, allowing it to strike his arm.

hum!
As expected, a large amount of demonic energy appeared at the wound site, which he absorbed in the blink of an eye.

Coming!

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed at the sight, but then he saw Zheng Tuo like a dam breaking, completely losing control and being constantly slashed by the black broken blade.

"Hahaha!"

Elder Ding laughed heartily upon seeing this, looking delighted, clearly believing he had the situation under control.

There is a power within the black broken sword, a power that is extremely strange and he has never seen before. However, because that power has been weakened, it can be controlled by you.

now.

He once again used the power from the black broken sword to defeat his opponent.

No rush, take it slow. This Dao Shisi is very strong, and he might have some tricks up his sleeve. At this moment, I must be careful and absolutely cannot be careless.

Elder Ding was cautious and quietly observed what was happening not far away.

brush!
The black broken blade struck Zheng Tuo's chest in an instant.

Only part of the blade pierced Zheng Tuo's flesh.

In an instant!
Zheng Tuo stopped all movement and immediately knelt on one knee, as if he had been completely killed.

Actually.

At this very moment, he was frantically absorbing the demonic energy from the black broken sword for his own use.

"Dao Shisi, I told you, today, you will surely die." Elder Ding came to Zheng Tuo, his aged face full of a smug smile.

This Dao Shisi is a prodigy; once refined, he will be able to assist my cultivation far more effectively than the hundred powerful warriors under my command.

Elder Ding was very pleased with himself. He raised his hand and the black broken sword flew out of Zheng Tuo's body and then headed for his sleeve.

Just as the black broken sword was about to enter his sleeve!

brush!
The black broken blade instantly changed direction and plunged viciously into his head.
