The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2817 Battle against Zhou Xuan
Zheng Tuo made his move, engaging in a fierce battle with the surrounding undead creatures.

Given his current combat strength, the fact that he has managed to hold out this long against the undead creatures around him and fight them on equal terms is something to be proud of.

The undead creatures around him possessed Undead Dao Marks, and their combat power was extremely terrifying. Unless he used a Primordial Treasure, he probably wouldn't be able to break through the Undead Cage and escape from this place with his current combat strength.

Zheng Tuo was somewhat surprised that Zhou Xuan had forced him to this point at this moment.

However, upon closer reflection, he realized that he was merely a Dao Body among Dao Bodies, while Zhou Xuan was a genuine Breakthrough Dao Body.

It seems reasonable that he cannot fight against it, but before that, he still needs Zhou Xuan as a whetstone to hone himself.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
The blade flashed, ravaging the cage of death. Zheng Tuo never gave up, and this was especially true at this moment.

His Sword Immortal Technique has reached the seventh level, and the next step is to advance to the eighth and ninth levels.

The upper part of the Sword Immortal Technique only has nine levels. Even the Sword Immortal must have only cultivated to the ninth level.

He has now mastered the seventh level of the Blade Immortal Technique, and only needs two more levels to catch up with the Blade Immortal.

But he also understood that completing the next two floors would be extremely difficult.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Blade light flew continuously from his hand, colliding with the surrounding undead creatures, making for a fierce battle.

The undead creatures around him were not only powerful, but also immortal. Even if he managed to kill one of them, it would immediately resurrect and attack him again.

Zheng Tuo found himself in an extremely passive and difficult battle.

He unleashed a flurry of sword flashes with both hands, his figure constantly shifting and flashing. Gone was his former composure and elegance; he was like a stray dog, dodging and weaving, avoiding the attacks of the undead creatures around him.

"Kid, where did your arrogance go?"

Zhou Xuan's voice boomed loudly.

He looked down at Zheng Tuo with an air of superiority, as if he were a god, his words carrying a hint of contempt.

Zheng Tuo was unable to respond to Zhou Xuan's words; he needed to concentrate fully on facing the undead creatures attacking from all around him.

His body shimmered with light, and his sword energy surged, as he honed his sword immortal technique in such battles.

It must be said that in a battle where he could be killed at any moment, his cultivation of the Blade Immortal Technique was incredibly fast.

If he continues to cultivate in this way, it is only a matter of time before he raises his Blade Immortal Technique to the eighth level.

But Zhou Xuan clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

brush!
A burst of killing intent attacked, immediately striking Zheng Tuo in the shoulder and severely injuring him.

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Xuan was very satisfied with his sneak attack.

He enjoys watching his prey struggle in the traps he sets. His occasional interventions won't kill the prey, but they will make it even more miserable.

"Boy, you only need to kneel down and beg for mercy, and willingly become an undead creature under my command, and I can spare your life."

After gaining the upper hand, Zhou Xuan began to have the same ideas again.

He intends to take advantage of this mythical arena to suppress all these prodigies, and then have them unite with the women of the Undying Mountain. He believes that the offspring born will surely be an exceptionally powerful generation.

His idea could be described as quite insane.

To know.

The group of prodigies who have come to the Mythical Arena are all among the strongest, and all have powerful backgrounds.

Anyone who provokes one of these powerful figures will likely face incurment of greetings from other wall-breakers on Undying Mountain.

Zhou Xuan, however, disagreed.

He will forcefully intervene and make it a fait accompli, regardless of what the old guys behind these monsters say.

after all.

He had no intention of killing these monsters; he merely wanted to suppress them and then let them get married and have children.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan immediately looked up at the boy struggling among the undead creatures.

This kid has some talent. Today, I will suppress you and see how it goes.

A thought struck him, and the undead creatures immediately ceased their attack, then formed a formation to surround Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo was immediately stunned. Then, after seeing the undead creatures forming an array, his eyes flashed, and he began to break the array.

With his understanding of formations, he could easily break any formation except for divine ones.

"it's here!"

He found the flaw in the opponent's formation in just a few breaths, and then launched a powerful attack, directly breaking the opponent's formation.

"Good lad, you even know about formations!"

Seeing his formation broken, Zhou Xuan immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Zheng Tuo ignored Zhou Xuan's words and continued to fight the undead creatures around him, honing his Sword Immortal Technique.

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Zhou Xuan lost his patience.

He took the initiative and attacked Zheng Tuo.

Pfft!

The killing light pierced through Zheng Tuo's body.

But Zheng Tuo seemed unaffected, letting the opponent's attacks pierce through his body. He continued to unleash his sword light, battling the undead creatures around him.

He has now abandoned this physical body, so he has shielded himself from the pain of his physical body and uses his soul to control his physical body in battle.

At this moment, his physical body was like an emotionless puppet and tool. Its only purpose was to unleash sword beams to fight against the undead creatures around him.

"Good lad, he actually abandoned his physical body to practice swordsmanship, he really is a little madman."

Zhou Xuan knew that there were many madmen in the Sword Sect, and these madmen were willing to do anything to cultivate their sword techniques.

This kid in front of me is actually willing to sacrifice his physical body to cultivate swordsmanship. You should know that in today's cultivation world, the physical body is just as important.

If one's physical body is destroyed as a result, it will have a huge impact on one's cultivation.

"Alright, since this is your choice!"

Zhou Xuan struck again, launching a sneak attack on Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo was used to Zhou Xuan's sneak attacks, so he didn't try to avoid them because there was no way to avoid them.

Zhou Xuan's angle and timing of attack were perfect, leaving him no way to dodge. So he simply let the opponent attack while I continued to wield my blade and fight the undead creatures around me.

In the midst of this battle, Zheng Tuo's cultivation of the Blade Immortal Technique progressed at an astonishing speed. However, it was also during this battle that Zheng Tuo's physical body began to break down, with holes the thickness of a finger appearing.

obviously.

His movements were slowed by the damage to his physical body, but the sword light he unleashed became exceptionally powerful due to the enhancement of the Sword Immortal Technique.

Not enough, not enough, not enough.

Zheng Tuo knew perfectly well that he could no longer hold on, and that his body might completely collapse in the next second. But that hadn't happened yet, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

He wanted to continue his spiritual practice before his final collapse, because this period was the most precious time for him.

Brush brush!
Brush brush!
Brush brush!
The blade flashed, wreaking havoc on heaven and earth.

Zheng Tuo used his willpower to demonstrate his purest form of spiritual practice.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan sensed the aura of a powerful being.

He himself was a being with the aura of a powerful being, and now he sensed the same aura emanating from the other party. "It seems my judgment was correct. You are indeed excellent material. Once I transform you into an undead being, you will surely be one of the most powerful beings among all my undead beings."

Zhou Xuan began to make his move, intending to suppress Zheng Tuo in one fell swoop.

Faced with this situation, Zheng Tuo finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Bang!
His body collapsed in the most extreme battle, turning into dust and disappearing from the spot.

"Tao Shen!"

Zhou Xuan immediately recognized that Zheng Tuo was in Dao form at that moment.

"Good lad, your Dao body is so powerful. I believe your true body will be even more powerful."

As he spoke, he made a move to suppress Zheng Tuo's soul.

Suddenly, he sensed danger approaching.

Sonorous!

A crisp sound came from outside.

He looked outside and immediately saw the tip of a broken sword attacking his Zhou Tian Seal.

The black blade tip was of unknown origin, but its power was immense, striking Zhou Tianyin with a clanging sound and even causing it to be wounded.

"Who are you, daring to attack me like this!" Zhou Xuan looked at the man not far away.

"Don't you even know who I am?" Zheng Tuo asked in a low voice.

"You are that brat from the Sword Sect in his true form!"

Zhou Xuan was initially surprised, but immediately smiled.

He was troubled by not being able to find the other party's true form when, unexpectedly, the other party's true form delivered itself right to his doorstep.

He intended to suppress the opponent's true form.

suddenly!

Without warning, a flash of black light streaked past, slicing open a hole in his death cage with a whoosh.

brush!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Tuo's soul, which had been hiding in the cage of death, escaped and immediately returned to its original form.

The enhancements from the Sword Immortal Technique carried by the Dao Body were now fully absorbed by the main body, becoming part of it.

"Hey kid, what's your name?" Zhou Xuan asked.

“I’ll call you Grandpa, my dear grandson, hurry up and call me Grandpa.” Zheng Tuo looked at Zhou Xuan with a playful smile.

"You little brat, how dare you act arrogantly towards me here? I'll suppress you and turn you into an immortal being to serve me."

Zhou Xuan made his move, attempting to suppress Zheng Tuo's main body using the same method he had just used.

On the other hand, Zheng Tuo activated the tip of his black broken sword, and with a clang, it collided with Zhou Tianyin.

The Zhou Tian Seal was, after all, a supreme treasure acquired later in life, with immense power, second only to supreme treasures acquired later in life. When it collided with the black blade tip, it was immediately damaged.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan immediately frowned, revealing a troubled expression.

What exactly is that object in the opponent's hand that could injure my Zhou Tian Seal? Could it be a supreme innate treasure?

wrong.

He had used innate treasures before, so he knew that all innate treasures possessed the aura of innate treasures.

The black blade in the opponent's hand did not possess any aura of a supreme innate treasure; it was merely hard enough.

Having reached this conclusion, he activated the Undying Dao Pattern to cover the Zhou Tian Seal and directly attacked Zheng Tuo.

Sonorous!

The black blade tip collided with Zhou Tianyin at this moment, immediately producing a series of metallic clanging sounds. From a distance, it appeared that neither could gain the upper hand.

Zheng Tuo was surprised to see this, but he understood the reason.

The Undying Dao Pattern is ultimately the power of those who break through barriers, and since it was being used by Zhou Xuan at this moment, its power is naturally extremely strong. It is not surprising that he was able to withstand the black blade's attack by using it to enhance the Zhou Tian Seal.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Xuan.

He stared in astonishment at the black blade that could collide with his Zhou Tian Seal!
His own Zhou Tian Seal was one of the best among innate treasures. Even with the blessing of the Undying Dao Pattern, he was still unable to win and could only manage a draw.

What exactly is this kid's black knife, and why is it so powerful?

However, something even more surprising was yet to come.

Zheng Tuo activated the black blade using the Sword Immortal Technique. In an instant, the black blade's combat power increased several times, and he overpowered Zhou Tianyin.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The black blade completely suppressed the Zhou Tian Seal, causing it to tremble violently. The Undying Dao Patterns on the seal flickered unpredictably, and it was even at risk of being shattered.

"Zhou Xuan, you are ultimately unable to unleash the full power of the Undying Dao Pattern," Zheng Tuo said in a low voice upon seeing this.

"Boy, even if I can't unleash the full power of the Undying Dao Pattern, I'm still not someone you can contend with. Prepare to die."

Zhou Xuan did his utmost to encourage Zhou Tianyin.

The powerful Zhou Tian Seal shimmered with dark light, displaying the might of this powerful magic weapon amidst a rumbling sound.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately took out another black knife without saying a word.

The two black blades were used simultaneously, and both were controlled using the Sword Immortal Technique, naturally increasing their power to an even higher level.

Zhou Tianyin, who was just about to unleash his power, was immediately forced to suppress it, and Zhou Xuan was even beaten so badly that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was actually backfired by his own magic weapon.

"Broken sword!"

Zhou Xuan finally saw clearly that the opponent was actually using a two-section broken sword.

"So what if my blade is broken? It's enough to kill you."

Zheng Tuo used the two broken black blades to forcefully suppress Zhou Tianyin, intending to shatter Zhou Tianyin completely and severely injure Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was no pushover either. He activated his secret technique, causing the Zhou Tian Seal to shine brightly, and then he flipped over and clashed with the two broken swords.

The battle between the two sides was of the highest caliber, and the powerful figures watching from the sidelines went from being indifferent at the beginning to watching the battle closely now.

even.

Some of the more talented individuals actually learned a great deal from the battle between the two sides.

"A battle of this caliber is a rare treat. I must say, this kid from the Blade Sect has some truly impressive skills. He's actually able to hold his own against a Dao Body Breaker. Impressive, impressive, truly impressive."

The handsome Zhuge sat upright in a rocking chair, surrounded by a group of women who served him delicious food and fine wine.

His leisurely demeanor aroused envy, jealousy, and resentment among those around him.

Zhuge Liang wasn't here to participate in any mythical arena at all; he was just here to have fun and pick up girls.

Sonorous!

The loud crash drew everyone's attention again.

In the fierce battle between Zheng Tuo and Zhou Xuan, neither side had yet determined a victor, but unsettling loud noises came from the Old Turtle Immortal Great World.

Everyone looked toward the depths of the Great World of the Old Turtle Immortal, as if something terrifying was awakening there.
