The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Such a scene shocked everyone present.

Zhou Xuan's strength was evident to everyone present, yet at this moment, he was actually swallowed up by the blade light.

"asshole!"

Zhou Xuan escaped in a sorry state amidst the flashing blades.

His clothes were charred, and blood was flowing from his limbs; he had clearly suffered severe injuries.

In such a high-stakes match, Zhou Xuan's passive position was something no one around him had expected.

"You little brat, what's your name?!"

Zhou Xuan was surrounded by billowing black aura of death, and he exuded a terrifying aura, like the Grim Reaper.

obviously.

He used his trump card.

Using such a trump card at this moment can only mean one thing: he has exhausted all his options and has no choice but to use it. If he doesn't, he might really be killed here.

"Knife Fourteen!"

Sun Chuan shouted into the crowd, saw Zheng Tuo's swordsmanship and appearance, and after judging, called out Zheng Tuo's name, Dao Shisi.

"This Dao Shisi killed the elders of Undying Mountain and the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, and now he actually shows up here!" Sun Chuan's voice boomed, filled with murderous intent.

"what!"

Zhou Xuan turned his head and looked at Zheng Tuo.

"Dao Shisi, is what Sun Chuan said true? You really killed the elder of Undying Mountain and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Faced with such words, Zheng Tuo knew that whether he admitted it or not, the other party would believe that he was the one who did it.

“The blade in my hand is only meant to kill those who deserve it. Your Elder of the Enforcement Hall actually dared to attack my Blade Sect members, turning them into puppets to help your Elder of the Undying Mountain murder others. If he had only murdered others, that would be one thing, but he murdered my Blade Sect members and then dared to murder me. How can I not kill him?”

Zheng Tuo's voice boomed, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

Even with the presence of the Third Ancestor of Undying Mountain, Undying in Green Robe, he feared no one and directly admitted to the matter.

"Well done, Dao Shisi! Your Dao Sect really has no scruples!" Zhou Xuan only heard one sentence: the other party was bullying their Undying Mountain.

"Zhou Xuan, is this really the kind of person you Undying Mountain are? Is it okay for your Undying Mountain elders to kill others, but not for others to kill them? What kind of bullshit logic is that?"

"Reason!" The black mist around Zhou Xuan's body began to condense. "I tell you, here, I am the reason."

As he spoke, Zhou Xuan raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of figures instantly sprang out from the black mist around him.

Upon closer inspection, these figures were all powerful undead beings, and they were actually attacking Zheng Tuo here.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo didn't hesitate. He transformed his palm into a blade and attacked wildly, fiercely battling the undead creatures around him.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The blade energy that Zheng Tuo conjured in his palm was invincible, but it did no harm to the undead creatures around him.

These undead beings are all protected by armor formed from the Dao patterns of immortality. Each one is incredibly tough, and unless a being who breaks through the barrier intervenes or an innate treasure attacks, it is impossible to break through their defenses.

"Well done!"

Zheng Tuo shouted and continued his frenzied attacks.

He needs these undead beings around him to suppress him and put pressure on him, because only under such circumstances can he continue to cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique and continue to cultivate it to the Great Perfection realm.

The frenzied battle has begun again.

The powerful figures around were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"No wonder this Dao Fourteen is so arrogant, daring to directly challenge a Dao Body cultivator like Zhou Xuan who has broken through the barrier. He does indeed have some skills."

"The Blade Sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the strongest sects in the Primordial Immortal Realm. Not only does it have a figure like the One Blade Immortal, but it also has a ruthless character like Blade Fourteen."

"Speaking of which, Zhou Xuan won't be executed, will he?"

As soon as someone uttered these words, the crowd became bustling with noise.

"Come on, place your bets! Once you've placed your bets, we're not responsible for anything else."

Suddenly, such shouts came from the crowd.

Turning my head, I saw two people weaving through the crowd.

A man dressed in a black robe, with dark circles under his eyes, looked unlucky.

A man dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly grace, yet with a somewhat sleazy appearance.

It's not surprising that Dao Xuemei and Jiushi Sword are here, as they have been present at many important occasions.

Although Jiu Shi Jian and Dao Xue Mei are not the most outstanding super geniuses, they possess extremely rare special abilities.

One is plagued by bad luck, and anyone who opposes him will suffer misfortune; the other has a particularly foul mouth, and anyone he curses will be severely punished.

At first, some people didn't believe it and tried to verify the truth of the matter. In the end, the person who tried to verify it was completely convinced and became their follower.

From then on, no one dared to mess with those two guys.

Later, it was said that one of these two guys joined the Sword Sect and the other joined the Saber Sect.

The Knife Sect and the Sword Sect have always been at odds, but these two oddballs are so close they could share a pair of underwear.

Their presence here, shouting that they had placed their bets, immediately eased the atmosphere considerably.

"Come on, you two little ones, I'll offer 100 million spirit stones, and you'll win the sale of the sword fourteen." Dugu Jianmo was very generous and loved excitement, so he immediately shouted.

"You have excellent judgment, sir. Rest assured, your fourteenth senior brother will surely bring you great success," Dao Xuemei said.

For some reason, Dugu Jianmo felt uneasy all over.

The other person's words were clearly meant to bless me, but why did I feel something was off, as if a breeze was blowing in the back of my head?

"Shut up."

Jiushijian punched Dao Xuemei.

Dao Xuemei immediately realized her mistake and slapped herself.

Seeing this scene, everyone could only smile helplessly at the antics of this odd couple.

The atmosphere became somewhat harmonious.

"I'll bet 10 billion spirit stones on Zhou Xuan to win."

The Immortal Emperor did not kill the One-Sword Immortal.

The Immortal One-Knife thus escaped a calamity and is now recovering from his injuries.

The fact that the Immortal Emperor disobeyed the orders of the Three Ancestors in the Immortal Green Robe caused people to look towards the Immortal Green Robe.

Undying Green Robe made no comment, seemingly used to such things happening.

Under these circumstances, everyone was curious about the identity of this immortal emperor.

"Sir, you have excellent judgment. I believe Zhou Xuan will definitely be able to defeat Dao Shisi and win victory for you." Jiu Shi Jian stepped forward with a smile and took out 10 billion spirit stones.

"Nine Stones Sword, what do you mean by this!" A member of the Blade Sect spoke up in displeasure.

“Brothers of the Knife Sect, I, Nine Stone Sword, am a businessman. I smile at whoever has business to do with me. Why don’t you come and play with 10 billion?”

The appearance of the Nine Stone Sword immediately rendered the opponent speechless.

One hundred billion spirit stones, while not a huge sum for the powerful figures present, was not a small amount either. Ultimately, there were very few powerful individuals who could casually produce one hundred billion spirit stones.

"If you can't produce it, then step aside and don't interfere with my business." Jiu Shijian immediately changed his expression and continued to greet the people around him with a smile.

Such a rapid change of expression immediately drew gasps of astonishment from those around him.

"The rumors about Dao Xuemei and Jiu Shi Jian are indeed true to their reputations. One seems to be unlucky every day, and the other sounds like he has a really sharp tongue."

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear. I've heard those two are extremely vengeful; if they hear us, it'll be a real problem."

Upon hearing this, both of them couldn't help but take two steps back in an attempt to avoid Jiu Shi Jian and Dao Xue Mei.

The atmosphere in the arena became very relaxed because of the relationship between Jiu Shi Jian and Dao Xue Mei, but the battle in the distance was anything but relaxed.

Zheng Tuo used every trick in the book, unleashing the Blade Immortal Technique wildly as he battled the surrounding undead creatures amidst clanging sounds.

The undead beings were all clad in undead armor crafted with undead Dao patterns, each possessing astonishing defensive capabilities.

Even with Zheng Tuo's current abilities, he was unable to break through their defenses. All he could do was keep pushing them back, and with his exquisite movement techniques, he was able to survive among these undead creatures.

To know.

These undead creatures were incredibly powerful, and each one was nearly as strong as Zhou Xuan.

It's clear that this group of undead creatures is Zhou Xuan's powerful trump card.

If these undead creatures were to fight against the powerful figures around them, they would surely be able to kill 99% of the onlookers.

Such ruthless methods kept Zheng Tuo on high alert.

He focused intently on his attack, not daring to be careless in the slightest, and thus unleashed the Blade Immortal Technique.

He was already very familiar with the Blade Immortal Technique. With each swing, the Blade Immortal Technique transformed into countless battle blades that flew out, clashing and battling against the surrounding undead creatures.

In the midst of such a frenzied battle, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation of the Sword Immortal Technique was actually improving significantly.

In other words, he is constantly moving forward, continuously progressing towards the Great Perfection of the Upper Part of the Sword Immortal Technique.

He was filled with joy and continued to focus on the present moment, continuing his battle against Zhou Xuan.

not far away.

Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, hovering in mid-air, controlling more than a dozen undead creatures around him to attack Zheng Tuo.

His eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the scene in the distance and clenched his fist tightly.

He could clearly sense that although the undead creature he controlled had the upper hand, it was unable to kill Dao Shisi in one fell swoop.

If this continues, wouldn't it mean that I've become the other person's whetstone again?

He certainly didn't want that to happen, because if it did, he might really be buried here.

The thought of being buried here in front of so many people filled him with a sense of dread.

He didn't want to die. He had worked so hard to reach his current position and status, and he couldn't possibly die because of it.

Even though he was now in the body of the Dao, he absolutely could not die.

His gaze turned gloomy, and he exuded a terrifying aura that was difficult to detect.

That's a sign that you might be possessed by a demon.

The more powerful a being is, the more likely they are to be controlled by their inner demons, because they are too powerful and too confident, believing that they can deal with their inner demons. Little do they know that their inner demons are just as powerful as they are.

"Dao Shisi, with me here, you will not succeed. Today, I will surely kill you."

Zhou Xuan raised his hand and threw out his Zhou Tian Seal.

hum!
Zhou Tianyin emitted a terrifying pressure, instantly transforming into the size of a star.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Zhou Tianyin hovered above Zheng Tuo's head, descending with countless black mists, attempting to envelop Zheng Tuo within them.

Faced with this situation, Zheng Tuo tried to escape frantically, but he was still controlled by Zhou Tianyin.

Having no other choice, he immediately activated the Ten Directions Immortal Blade World.

hum!
With this skill, he managed to barely withstand Zhou Xuan's methods, but he still seemed inadequate.

The surrounding undead creatures gained a significant boost in combat power under the influence of the black mist, while Zheng Tuo was hampered by Zhou Tianyin. With this disparity in strength, Zheng Tuo suffered a severe blow.

He was no longer as adept as before; he began to get injured—on his shoulders, thighs, abdomen, and even his forehead.

Blood flowed freely, staining the earth.

Such a horrifying sight is nothing short of torture.

But Zheng Tuo, who was attacked, showed a joyful smile.

This scene astonished everyone around!
"To be able to laugh amidst such a level of attack, a madman, a complete madman."

"He's smiling, which means he's unharmed. If you ask me, this Dao Shisi's methods are quite extraordinary!"

"It's more than just extraordinary. This guy is using Zhou Xuan to cultivate himself. Have you noticed? This kid's Sword Immortal Technique has already reached the ninth level, and it's still improving like crazy. It looks like he's about to reach the Great Perfection realm."

Someone saw through the situation and said this.

Those around them were surprised to see this.

"The Great Perfection of the Sword Immortal Technique!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Blade Sect knew what it meant: it meant that Blade Fourteen could break through and become a Breaker.

Within the Blade Sect, any expert who elevates the Blade Immortal Technique to its Great Perfection can break through under the protection of the Blade Sect elders and become a barrier-breaker within the Blade Sect. As for the Primal Dao Patterns, there is no need to worry, because the Blade Sect will prepare the Primal Dao Patterns for such geniuses.

"Could it be that another barrier-breaker is about to emerge within my Sword Sect?"

Some disciples of the Sword Sect couldn't help but smile with delight upon realizing this.

For a sect, a Breakthrough is a visible sign of its strength.

Not to mention far away.

Take the mythical ancient clan, for example. Before the existence of a wall-breaker to oversee them, the entire mythical ancient clan was hunted down. After the wall-breaker took charge, although some members of the mythical ancient clan were killed, no one dared to pursue them anymore.

This is the deterrent power of those who break through barriers.

Today, the Blade Sect is already one of the most powerful sects in the Primordial Immortal Realm. If another Breaker were to emerge, wouldn't it mean that the Blade Sect could very well become the number one sect in the Primordial Immortal Realm?

Having such a title and honor would absolutely drive any disciple of the Sword Sect crazy.

Watching Dao Shisi fiercely battling the undead, all the Dao Sect disciples' eyes burned with fervor, except for one person whose gaze seemed somewhat dim, as if he were quite melancholy.

Yi Dao Xian was seriously injured, but now that his injuries had healed somewhat, he opened his eyes and looked at the battle in the distance.

Based on his understanding of the Sword Immortal Technique, he clearly knew that this Sword Fourteen would definitely be able to cultivate the Sword Immortal Technique to the Great Perfection realm.

The feeling was incredibly strong, as if he could foresee the future.

Actually.

As fellow practitioners of the Sword Immortal Technique, he could clearly sense the information conveyed in the other's sword intent.

This information carried a surprising fluctuation in him—an endless, boundless intent of the sword.

obviously.

The Great Perfection of the Upper Part of the Sword Immortal Technique was not the limit for this fourteenth junior brother, but merely the beginning.

A true genius.

Suddenly!
The two words that welled up in his mind were so unexpected that he could hardly believe it himself. (End of Chapter)
