The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2813 The Sixth Level of the Sword Immortal Technique

The power of the Vengeful Demon King is evident to all. Faced with such a Vengeful Demon King, Zheng Tuo's thought at this moment is very simple: to fight him and help him cultivate the Blade Immortal Technique.

His Sword Immortal Technique had reached the fifth level, but the fifth level of the Sword Immortal Technique was clearly not enough to satisfy his appetite.

Now that we've encountered a powerful figure like the Demon King of Vengeance, we might as well use him as a whetstone to quickly upgrade the Blade Immortal Technique to the ninth level.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Demon King.

"Thinking about the tortoise shell in my hand is simple: defeat me. If you can defeat me, I will give it to you. If you can't, then don't even think about it," Zheng Tuo shouted to the Demon King.

"Exactly what I want!"

Without saying a word, the Demon King turned and attacked Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately took action.

Amidst the flashing blades, a fierce battle erupts against the Demon King.

This scene left everyone present bewildered.

They couldn't understand why the two sides would fight over this.

They felt that even if it were a battle against the Demon King, it should be the ancient white-robed one fighting the Demon King, so why was this Jiuli Blade fighting the Demon King?

With flashing blades and piercing claws, Zheng Tuo's battle with the Demon King was incredibly intense.

Both sides unleashed their full power in a frenzied battle, seemingly locked in a fight to the death, which only deepened the confusion among the onlookers.

"Good heavens, do these two guys have some deep-seated grudge? They're fighting so recklessly and like their lives depend on it."

"In my opinion, although their fighting was fierce, they had no intention of killing. They were fighting at the moment, nothing more."

Someone saw through the situation and said this.

"Humph!"

Gu Baiyi snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

He was just about to fight the Demon King to improve his own combat power and cultivation.

Unexpectedly, Jiuli Dao actually beat him to the punch and started fighting the Demon King.

He was itching to join the fight, but the thought of getting involved made him extremely anxious.

not far away.

Sonorous!

Zheng Tuo maintained his aggressive stance, the power of the fifth level of the Blade Immortal Technique was terrifying, each swing of the blade light shattered the heavens and earth, causing those around to dare not approach, for fear of being caught in the blast and losing their lives.

On the other hand, the Vengeful Demon King, having absorbed a large number of Vengeful Demons, has also increased its overall combat power to a terrifying level. It was even able to use Zheng Tuo's sword light to inflict damage on him with its bare hands.

There's always someone stronger, and there's always someone better.

The battle between the two sides appears to be evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand, and it is likely to end in a draw.

But Zheng Tuo, during the battle, did not think so.

As he continuously unleashed flashes of sword light, his understanding of the Sword Immortal Technique deepened.

The constant improvement he felt surprised and delighted him, making the light of his blade even more dazzling and powerful.

On the other hand, consider the Demon King of Vengeance.

He had just escaped from the seal, and after a series of battles, his condition was not good.

Now, while battling Zheng Tuo in his divine soul form, he is slowly beginning to find himself at a disadvantage.

He tried to summon the surrounding vengeful demons to devour, but he had already devoured all the vengeful demons on Divine Turtle Mountain, and no matter what he did, he could not see a single vengeful demon appear.

Faced with this situation, the Demon King of Vengeance demonstrated his extraordinary resilience.

He was already a living being with his own independent thoughts. In the midst of this continued battle, he actually began to comprehend his own power and engage in a very rare form of cultivation.

"what?"

Zheng Tuo discovered this during the battle.

He was surprised that the Demon King could actually engage in meditation and cultivation at this moment.

It seems that this guy is extraordinary because he was able to generate spirituality from countless vengeful demons.

He was actually able to create his own Daoist techniques during his battles with himself.

So this is what it feels like to be used as a whetstone!

Zheng Tuo suddenly realized that the Demon King of Vengeance was no longer his match. On the contrary, it was he who put pressure on the Demon King of Vengeance, causing the Demon King of Vengeance to begin to improve.

If that's the case, then let me see just how much this Demon King of Resentment really weighs.

Zheng Tuo did not use any other means, but simply waved the sword energy in his hand to continue suppressing the Demon King.

The Demon King was overwhelmed and retreated repeatedly, appearing to be on the verge of defeat, which surprised everyone around him.

They had witnessed firsthand just how terrifying the Demon King's power was, slaughtering several powerful figures from the Undying Mountain as easily as killing dogs.

At this moment, the powerful Demon King was being overwhelmed by the Nine Li Blade, as easily as an adult beating a child.

"What a joke! We're both half-step Breakthrough cultivators, is the gap between us really that huge?" Some people felt that their Dao Heart might be shattering.

"The realm of half-step breaking through the barrier is the one with the greatest gap in the cultivation world, because this realm is infinitely close to the one who breaks through the barrier, but it seems that it can never get close to the one who breaks through the barrier." An old man said, expressing his insights.

In the primordial immortal realm, there were countless half-step breakthrough cultivators, all of whom were exceptionally talented, but as time went by, they eventually faded into obscurity.

Only those who are favored by heaven and earth and have great fortune can eventually break through and become beings at the level of wall breakers.

Those who cannot break through and become wall breakers, some have just stepped into the half-step wall breaker stage, while others have been cultivating as half-step wall breakers for a very long time.

In comparison, the vast difference between those at the half-step breakthrough level is what they are seeing right now.

The Demon King of Vengeance was already an invincible being in their eyes, but this invincible being was being beaten so badly that he could hardly fight back. He looked like he could be killed at any moment, which made people look at the Nine Li Blade that had made the move.

The blades flashed, splitting the heavens and earth. They were far apart, yet they could feel the chill carried by the blades.

They believed that if the Nine Li Blade attacked them, they would be killed instantly without even being able to withstand a single blow.

"Luckily, we didn't attack the Nine Li Blade back then. If you or I had, we'd probably be on our way to the underworld by now." Someone was thankful that they had remained calm.

"With the arrival of such a monstrous talent, I believe the Mythical Arena will be incredibly exciting."

Everyone was discussing it animatedly, and at that moment, Gu Baiyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at the Nine Li Blade with overwhelming fighting spirit.

The spear in his hand was buzzing, seemingly from the excitement of encountering a powerful opponent.

Gu Baiyi swept away his previous displeasure and immediately shifted his focus from the Demon King to the Nine Li Blade.

The Nine Li Blade's strength is truly terrifying; it is indeed an excellent whetstone for me to hone my skills.

well.

Today, I, Gu Baiyi, will begin with your Nine Li Blade, defeating all my contemporaries and becoming the strongest being.

Gu Baiyi felt his blood boil at the thought.

He could only suppress his fighting spirit and quietly wait for the battle between the Nine Li Blade and the Demon King of Vengeance to end.

Not far away, Zheng Tuo continued to make a powerful move. His own combat strength was unmatched, and his research on the Blade Immortal Technique had now reached an extremely high level.

With a powerful attack, the Demon King was overwhelmed and on the verge of defeat.

Just then, an unusual power suddenly erupted from the Demon King, instantly sending Zheng Tu flying.

"what?"

Zheng Tuo was utterly astonished!

He hadn't expected the Demon King to display such formidable fighting power in such dire circumstances.

not far away.

The Demon King was engulfed in black flames, and his aura reached its peak.

It is evident that, through continuous self-cultivation, he has achieved a breakthrough and gained control of a completely new power.

Seeing the Demon King's resentment, Zheng Tuo stopped his attack.

"Demon King of Vengeance, let me see what you're capable of."

Zheng Tuo watched the other party without making a move.

"Alright!" The Demon King of Vengeance agreed and instantly unleashed a burst of fire.

Flames raged, ravaging the heavens and earth, scorching and deforming the surrounding space.

brush!
The flames instantly reached Zheng Tuo.

Without saying a word, Zheng Tuo slashed out with his sword.

brush!
The blade flashed across the sky, instantly shattering the incoming black flames.

however.

The black flames were not completely extinguished; instead, they split in two and instantly entangled him.

"what!"

Zheng Tuo was horrified!

He raised his hand to fan out the black flames, but the black flames turned and entered his body, heading straight for his spiritual center.

"Soul attack!"

He hadn't expected the Demon King's attack to be a soul attack.

hum!
The black flames were already scorching his soul and body, attempting to completely burn it away.

Simultaneously.

Zheng Tuo felt countless voices suddenly emerge in his mind.

Upon closer examination, he realized that the voices were those of vengeful demons, appearing in his mind at this very moment and causing him harm.

It turned out to be the case.

He immediately understood the Demon King's methods.

Other vengeful demons live within this guy's black flames. If an ordinary powerful person were attacked like this, they would definitely be affected in no time.

Once the opponent is affected, the Demon King will strike again and will definitely be able to kill them.

Unfortunately, the Demon King encountered himself.

hum!
He channeled his righteous energy to protect his soul within, and no matter how the black flames burned him, they could not shake him in the slightest.

outside world.

The Demon King of Vengeance indeed made his move.

His sharp claws attacked, like blades, fiercely grabbing at Zheng Tuo's shoulder.

The Demon King of Vengeance really has the demeanor of a powerful figure. Such a fatal blow could have directly grabbed Zheng Tuo's throat, thus killing him in one strike.

But instead of doing that, he grabbed Zheng Tuo's shoulder, trying to injure Zheng Tuo to prove that he was capable of winning.

however.

Zheng Tuo slightly turned his body, dodging the Demon King's fatal blow.

Simultaneously.

Zheng Tuo made his move, delivering a powerful punch to the Demon King's abdomen.

Bang!
The Demon King was instantly blasted ten thousand meters away.

"Um...sorry, I used a little too much force."

Zheng Tuo looked at the Demon King lying on the ground, seemingly killed by his punch, and felt very apologetic.

Although the Demon King cultivates by devouring demons and is himself a demon who has awakened a true spirit, he doesn't feel evil at all. Instead, he possesses a powerful aura that many people lack.

In this way, he did not make things difficult for the Demon King.

"Demon King of Vengeance, you have been defeated."

far away.

The Demon King felt dizzy and disoriented; what had just happened?

What's with this Jiuli Blade's fist? Why was I almost killed with just one punch?

correct.

He had just sensed the presence of death, a presence that filled him with terror.

It was just an ordinary punch, so why did it almost kill him?

He was completely puzzled. This Jiuli Dao was only a half-step Breakthrough Realm cultivator, so why was his strength so formidable?

Having fought him for so long, he had not been able to gauge the depth of his opponent's abilities at all. It seemed that his opponent had defeated him by using only 20% of his skills.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel frustrated, but at the same time, a stubbornness also arose within him.

"Nine Li Blade, I will return to spar with you, but you'd better stay alive until I come looking for you again." The Demon King turned and left this great world.

No one stopped the Demon King from leaving; even when he was injured, none of the people present could defeat him.

However, his only rival, Gu Baiyi, had now replaced the Demon King of Vengeance.

"Nine Li Blade, you are indeed as strong as I thought."

Gu Baiyi's fighting spirit surged, and he appeared extremely arrogant.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zheng Tuo was very clear about Gu Baiyi's thoughts.

This guy actually wants to use himself as a whetstone to hone his skills.

Good guy.

What's wrong with these guys? They're all like me, searching everywhere for whetstones to hone their skills.

“Nine Li Blade, if you are afraid, I will not lay a hand on you.” Gu Baiyi’s obvious scheme amused Zheng Tuo.

This guy is really interesting, completely different from Gu Yun.

Seeing the eager-to-fight Gu Baiyi, he thought for a moment and decided to have a match with him.

He felt that Gu Baiyi's combat strength was definitely stronger than that of the Demon King, and if he could use Gu Baiyi to cultivate his Sword Immortal Technique to the sixth level, it would be an excellent thing.

Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Baiyi.

"Gu Baiyi, my patience is limited. You'd better use your strongest methods to fight me from the start. Otherwise, if you lose and your Dao heart is damaged, don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Baiyi didn't hesitate, grabbed his white spear, and charged at Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo remained fearless, a blade flashing in his palm, as he turned and fought Gu Baiyi.

The battle, which had just ended, has resumed.

Upon witnessing this scene, the powerful figures from all walks of life all remarked that these guys were truly a bunch of lunatics.

How could a battle be this insane? Wave after wave, they were fighting like madmen, risking their lives.

Simultaneously.

They were also incredibly envious.

The clash between the strong was also their dream.

Everyone has dreamed of competing with all the powerful figures, defeating them all, and becoming the strongest of their era.

But eventually, the years wore down their edges, and they became cautious and timid people, afraid of being killed.

just now.

They saw their past selves reflected in Gu Baiyi and Zheng Tuo; they had become the people they had once imagined themselves to be. How could they not envy them, how could they not be excited?

Sonorous!

Blades flashed, and white spears raged.

Gu Baiyi went all out from the very beginning, and the battle was exhilarating with no mercy.

Zheng Tuo also focused intently on his attack, circulating the Blade Immortal Technique throughout his body, constantly displaying exquisite blade light as he battled Gu Baiyi.

The battle between the two sides was destined to end in defeat from the very beginning.

The one who lost was obviously not Zheng Tuo, because as the battle continued, his cultivation of the Sword Immortal Technique finally broke through and reached the sixth level.
