The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2822 Another Battle with Zhou Xuan
Zhou Xuan was clearly the most suitable person among this group to serve as a whetstone for him, especially since the two sides already had a grudge against each other.

In this situation, his mind raced, and he pondered how to provoke Zhou Xuan into fighting him.

Zhou Xuan is very patient.

Dugu Jianmo had fought him before, but this guy turned and ran away, refusing to fight Dugu Jianmo no matter what. If he were to make a move, even Zhou Xuan probably wouldn't dare to fight him.

But at this moment, he had to fight Zhou Xuan as soon as possible, because only in this way could he cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique and become stronger.

He needs to cultivate the Blade Immortal Technique to the Great Perfection level as soon as possible, because only in this way can he ensure that when he encounters Blade Immortal Qi, he can refine all of the Blade Immortal Qi for his own use.

Thinking of this, he immediately separated his physical body from his Dao body, and then, as a member of the Sword Sect, he sneered: "The Undying Mountain is nothing special."

"What did you say!"

Zhou Xuan was indeed fooled and immediately glared at him angrily.

"Old man, you clearly heard what I said, yet you're asking a question you already know the answer to. What, are you getting senile?" Zheng Tuo's voice was loud as he directly reprimanded Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan was a man who valued his reputation, and now that he had been reprimanded by the other party, how could he swallow this insult?

"You little brat, how dare you speak to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Zhou Xuan held his ground, not daring to make a direct move.

The people present all seemed young, but who knew if there were powerful figures supporting them from behind the scenes?

His decision to play it safe this time was the right one.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan, who was usually arrogant and domineering, had actually played it safe, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Zhou Xuan really has some self-control; he was able to refrain from attacking me at this moment.

With that in mind, he decided to provoke the other party even more.

"Old man, if you don't dare to make a move, then stay put. What kind of skill is it to talk tough here? If you're so capable, come and fight me, and see if I'll kill you or not."

Zheng Tuo exuded an overwhelming aura, instantly unleashing a sharp, piercing blade aura.

The blade's energy swept across 30,000 miles, and in an instant, those around were terrified and quickly retreated.

"What a rude and arrogant person from the Blade Sect! Today, I'll kill you!" Zhou Xuan finally lost his composure and immediately attacked Zheng Tuo.

Seeing Zhou Xuan charging towards him, Zheng Tuo thought to himself that he had been tricked, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

brush!
He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of sword energy.

The blade energy was powerful and domineering, instantly blocking Zhou Xuan's forward momentum.

Seeing Zhou Xuan stop again, Zheng Tuo continued to shout, "Old man, do you know how powerful I am now? Let your true form come. In your current state, I can kill you in less than ten moves."

Zheng Tuo's arrogance caused Zhou Xuan to completely lose his temper.

He charged at Zheng Tuo like a madman, intending to crush Zheng Tuo's head to demonstrate his powerful abilities in front of everyone.

Seeing Zhou Xuan's furious state, Zheng Tuo attacked without saying a word.

The eighth level of the Blade Immortal Technique was unleashed, the blade flashing, as he battled Zhou Xuan.

The battle between the two sides reached its peak from the very beginning, with each side wanting to kill the other. In such a frenzied fight, it immediately attracted the attention of those around them.

The battle between One-Sword Immortal and Undying Emperor was certainly exciting, but it has entered its final stage. It is believed that One-Sword Immortal will soon be defeated as everyone expects.

In contrast, the battle between the Sword Sect disciple and Zhou Xuan that just occurred was a life-or-death struggle, with both seemingly determined to kill each other, making it far more exciting.

"The eighth level of the Blade Immortal Technique! This young man from the Blade Sect is no ordinary person; he seems to be quite a formidable figure!" An elder recognized the level of Zheng Tuo's Blade Immortal Technique and exclaimed in surprise.

"Within the Sword Sect, those who can cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique are already geniuses among geniuses, and there are very few who can cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique to the eighth level. Who is this kid? What is his name? He actually possesses such talent. If given time, he may become the second Sword Immortal." An old man's words were full of praise.

"No wonder this kid dared to provoke Zhou Xuan. He does have some skills, but I don't think it's realistic for him to think he can kill Zhou Xuan with just the eighth level of the Blade Immortal Technique. Zhou Xuan is a Dao Body Breaker, an extremely terrifying existence. How could he be defeated by this kid?"

"I don't think so. Did you notice that this kid is deliberately provoking Zhou Xuan? At the very moment when the Mythical Arena is about to open, this kid actually provoked Zhou Xuan. What does that mean? It means that this kid was prepared and wanted to use Zhou Xuan to cultivate the Blade Immortal Technique to the ninth level."

Some people saw through Zheng Tuo's thoughts and nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood the true meaning behind his words.

soon.

Zhou Xuan also noticed the problem.

Back in the Great World of the Old Turtle Immortal, there was a young man from the Sword Sect who fought against him, using him as a whetstone to cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique. Now another young man from the Sword Sect has appeared. Has he stirred up trouble for the Sword Sect?

and many more!

Could they be the same person?

He was puzzled but continued fighting, then a thought suddenly struck him.

"Well, it's you, kid!"

Zhou Xuan discovered that the other party was actually the kid who had once used him as a whetstone.

What a small world! This kid is provoking me again today, deliberately targeting me and using me as a whetstone to hone his sword-wielding technique.

Very well, today I will ensure you never return, and I will kill you here to establish the might of the Undying Mountain.

Zhou Xuan did not stop fighting; he was completely in battle mode.

The Zhou Tian Seal surged forth, its Undying Dao Patterns sweeping across heaven and earth. Zhou Xuan's all-out effort drew the attention of those around him.

Everyone was puzzled, wondering what had happened and why Zhou Xuan was so angry that he resorted to such methods and techniques.

Immediately afterwards, someone told everyone what had happened in the Great World of the Old Turtle Immortal.

"This kid is quite interesting. He actually used Zhou Xuan as his whetstone for training a second time. He's really bold!"

"This place is the territory of the Undying Mountain. Zhou Xuan's main body is in the Undying Mountain. If he wanted to come, he could arrive in the blink of an eye. Good lad, you still dare to target Zhou Xuan's Dao body. You are worthy of being a member of the Blade Sect."

"If you ask me, this kid is so fearless because he comes from the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect is currently at its peak, and he is such a powerful and monstrous figure. I believe Zhou Xuan would not dare to really kill him."

“I also think Zhou Xuan wouldn’t dare to really kill it. You know, the Undying Mountain was severely damaged in the incident at the Heavenly River Water Mansion in the Primordial Heavenly River. The Second Ancestor, Undying Old Qiao, was injured, and Zhou Xuan was almost killed. I believe that its main body is currently healing and will definitely not come out easily.”

The elderly men around were analyzing the situation with great insight, and the battle in the distance was nothing short of frenzied.

Although the battle between One-Sword Immortal and Undying Emperor was also crazy, it lacked the cruelty of wanting to kill the other.

The fight between the two sides resembled a friendly sparring match where both sides were fighting with all their might. In contrast, the fight between Zheng Tuo and Zhou Xuan was incredibly intense, with both sides clearly wanting to kill the other immediately. Anyone could see that.

Such a thrilling battle quickly attracted even more attention.

Facing the beams of light from the crowd, Zhou Xuan showed no mercy.

He went all out, acting with incredible ferocity, and completely overwhelmed Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo was being suppressed quite severely, and Zhou Xuan was really looking for his life at that moment, but luckily he had a lot of combat experience.

Faced with this, Zhou Xuan was barely able to withstand it.

He liked this state the most because, under such suppression, he could continuously cultivate the Blade Immortal Technique and advance it to the ninth level.

Sonorous!

Clang! Clang!

The duel between the two sides escalated from this point to a distant location, and then back to a closer one.

From a distance, Zheng Tuo was clearly at a disadvantage.

His Sword Immortal Technique was only at the eighth level. With only eight levels, the Sword Immortal Technique could not possibly kill a Dao Body Breaker like Zhou Xuan.

of course.

As Zheng Tuo continued his cultivation and his Sword Immortal Technique improved, Zhou Xuan began to feel a sense of crisis.

Who is this brat? Why is he so difficult to deal with?

His own strength was clearly superior to his opponent's, but in such a duel, he was unable to kill him immediately.

By using the Absolute Strike skill several times, as long as you can touch the opponent, you can severely injure them, thus gaining the upper hand and finishing them off in one fell swoop.

But this kid was experienced in combat and managed to dodge all of his killing moves, rendering his plan ineffective.

Unconvinced, he continued to attack.

In terms of combat experience, as a Breaker of the Barrier, the opponent's combat experience could not possibly be greater than his.

He refused to believe it and continued his frenzied attack, determined to kill his opponent to vent his anger.

Faced with such a powerful Zhou Xuan, Zheng Tuo remained as serious as ever.

His eyes gleamed, and his figure flickered and elusive.

He had fought Zhou Xuan before, and even earlier, during the Tianhe Water Mansion period, he had fought Zhou Xuan.

After several encounters, he had a thorough understanding of Zhou Xuan's methods. He knew exactly what the other party wanted to do, how to make his move, what kind of moves were feints, and what kind of moves were killing blows.

and so.

Although he appeared to be at a disadvantage in the battle, he was actually in complete control. He continued to use his opponent as a whetstone to hone his skills and strive to complete his transformation as soon as possible and reach the ninth level of the Sword Immortal Technique.

Sonorous!

The blade flashed and collided directly with the Zhou Tian Seal.

His sword light could not stop Zhou Tianyin's arrival, but it could deflect it off course. Combined with his own movement skills, for a time, Zhou Tianyin was unable to harm him.

The two sides fought for a long time, exchanging blows in a frenzied battle.

However, the outcome remained undecided, which made Zhou Xuan somewhat hesitant and unwilling to continue the fight.

In his view, he clearly knew that the other party was using him as a whetstone to cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique.

In such a situation, if we continue to fight with the opponent, wouldn't that be playing into their hands?

He naturally has his own methods but hasn't shown them, nor does he want to show them to everyone here, because it's not worth it.

He needed to save his methods for the most crucial moment. If he used them now and those around him saw him, these clever guys would surely be prepared, and he would be at a huge loss.

Zhou Xuan wanted to stop the fight, but felt he would lose face.

A dignified being who has broken through the barriers of cultivation is actually unable to defeat a junior and even voluntarily withdraws from the battle. No matter how you look at it, this is a disgrace to the Undying Mountain.

Now that the Third Patriarch in his green robes is watching the battle here, he absolutely cannot lose face for the Undying Mountain.

Zhou Xuan was conflicted, and Zheng Tuo, on the other hand, sensed Zhou Xuan's inner turmoil from the battle.

This guy is actually backing down again; how can his will be so weak?

Alright, since your will is not firm, I will make your will firm.

"Zhou Xuan, I thought you were so strong, but it turns out you're just a paper tiger. You're supposed to be a Breaker Dao Body, but you're a disgrace to the Breakers. Get lost, I don't want to fight you again."

Zheng Tuo's verbal provocation was very effective.

Zhou Xuan, who had relaxed his guard, fought back fiercely and once again put pressure on Zheng Tuo with a frenzied attack.

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed to see this; this was exactly the kind of pressure he needed.

however.

The situation changed as soon as this pressure arose.

Zhou Xuan did not stop fighting, but someone shouted at him to stop.

"enough!"

The moment the Third Ancestor, in his green robe, spoke, the mere two words were enough to strike Zheng Tuo as if struck by lightning. He was immediately struck hard by Zhou Xuan, coughing up blood and nearly dying.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone around them completely astonished!
No one expected that the third patriarch of the Undying Mountain, the Undying Green Robe, would intervene at this moment and disrupt the battle between Zhou Xuan and the people of the Sword Sect.

"A dignified being at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm actually dares to attack a junior! Undying Green Robe, do you have any respect for the Undying Mountain Sect?!"

Dugu Jianmo spoke loudly, angrily rebuking the Undying Green Robe.

Undying Green Robe had no intention of intervening, but his strength was too great, and his voice affected the course of the battle.

He offered no explanation, nor did he respond to Dugu Jianmo's call. Instead, he continued to watch the battle between Yidao Xian and the Undying Emperor.

Those around them, though guessing that the Undying Green Robe's actions were unintentional, ultimately helped Zhou Xuan.

"You Undying Mountain people are shameless!" a member of the Sword Sect shouted, unable to stand it any longer.

"It's one thing for a Breaker of the Wall to be no match for someone from my Blade Sect, but the dignified Third Ancestor of the Undying Mountain, the Undying Green Robe, a peerless figure at the second level of Breaker of the Wall, actually attacked a junior like this? Are you bullying my Blade Sect because you have no one to rely on?"

People from the Sword Sect have one characteristic: they are extremely protective of their own.

The battle was originally fair between the two sides, and they said nothing, only secretly cheering for the Sword Sect members.

At this moment, the other party's shamelessness in making such a move immediately prompted them to curse.

"People of the Blade Sect, at least behave yourselves, or we'll kill you here, and the Blade Sect won't dare say a word," a junior from the Undying Mountain shouted, unable to tolerate anyone speaking to the Third Ancestor in such a manner.

however.

The Third Ancestor, still clad in his green robes, remained as steady as a mountain, offering no response whatsoever to the words of the younger generation of the Sword Sect around him.

The strong are the strong, and they will not change because of the clamor of ants.

The Third Patriarch, clad in an immortal blue robe, stood there, exuding a steadfastness as solid as a mountain.

Seeing this, the members of the Sword Sect did not say anything more, and they understood that what had just happened must have been an accident.

Now that they have vented their anger and shown that they are not to be trifled with, that is enough.

But this accident didn't affect them, it affected Zheng Tuo.

The battle was originally under Zheng Tuo's control, but now an unexpected event has occurred, and he has been seriously injured by Zhou Xuan.

If the fighting continues, something terrible might happen.
