The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2827 Slaying Zhou Xuan, Fighting the Emperor

The atmosphere was tense, but Zheng Tuo appeared completely at ease as he watched Zhou Xuan charge towards him.

His eyes flickered as he looked at Zhou Xuan, who was charging towards him.

He then clearly sensed that he had cultivated the Blade Immortal Technique to the Great Perfection.

The moment he reached the Great Perfection realm, everything around him was under his control.

Without any attempt to dodge, he wielded the Immortal-Slaying Blade, activated the Blade Immortal Technique, and swung it fiercely.

brush!
An incomparably dazzling blade of light flashed past, and in an instant, it was so bright that everyone was unable to open their eyes.

People felt as if their senses had been pierced by the flash of the blade. In mild cases, they felt dizzy and lightheaded; in severe cases, their minds and bodies became unstable, showing signs of imminent collapse.

This state lasted for a while, and when it ended, everyone looked back and stared in astonishment at the scene in the distance.

Zhou Xuan, who had already entered a state of inner demons, was suddenly split in two. His body was still surrounded by surging black mist and flickering with immortal Dao patterns, but he was unable to repair his injured body. His appearance of difficulty shocked everyone present.

The combined power of the Great Perfection of the Blade Immortal Technique and the Immortal Slaying Blade was terrifying, causing Zhou Xuan to suffer such a severe injury.

"what!"

Zhou Xuan let out a piercing scream, and then he completely became possessed.

He healed his injuries and returned by relying on his demonic possession.

"Dao Shisi, what a Dao Shisi, you've actually driven me to this point. Very well, you're quite good. I'm starting to get interested."

Zhou Xuan, now completely possessed by demonic possession, was extremely confident.

He stood at a distance, his black aura dissipating like a cloak.

Looking at Zhou Xuan, Zheng Tuo remained as calm as a mirror.

He stood alone in the void, holding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, and looked at Zhou Xuan without making any move.

After achieving the Great Perfection of the Blade Immortal Technique, he realized just how powerful this Blade Immortal Technique truly was, especially since it had been used with the Immortal Slaying Blade, making its power even greater.

and so.

His move was merely a probing attack; he didn't go all out.

"Knife Fourteen, prepare to die."

Zhou Xuan instantly charged towards Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo, holding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, suddenly swung it out.

The blade still gleamed, carrying a terrifying aura that suppressed all ages, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Zhou Xuan.

brush!
The blade flashed past Zhou Xuan as if nothing had happened, but Zhou Xuan stopped charging.

Everyone was puzzled; what had happened?

next moment!
They were shocked to see Zhou Xuan's body shattered into countless pieces and explode on the spot.

"what!"

This single strike stunned everyone.

This time, they clearly saw the power of that strike, but they only saw the surface and didn't understand what actually happened.

They couldn't understand why Zhou Xuan had been slashed like this; they didn't know what had happened.

"what!"

Zhou Xuan let out a painful roar, trying to repair his physical body, but Zheng Tuo did not give him the chance, raising his hand to deliver another fatal blow.

The blade flashed and instantly reached Zhou Xuan's shattered body.

Seeing such a slash, Zhou Xuan knew he was doomed.

Just now.

brush!
A figure blocked his way.

Then, the man slowly raised his hand and, right before everyone's eyes, caught Zheng Tuo's sword energy with his bare hands.

what!
Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo's eyes sharpened!
He looked at the Third Ancestor in his green robe who had caught his sword energy, and was surprised that the other party would personally step in to help Zhou Xuan.

Those old bastards from Immortal Mountain are indeed shameless.

Zheng Tuo looked at the immortal green robe, showing no fear of his opponent's identity as a wall-breaker.

His current background is that of a disciple of the Blade Sect, and even more so, a super prodigy within the Blade Sect. If Qing Shan hadn't dared to kill him, it would have surely aroused the Blade Sect's wrath.

With the Second Ancestor of Undying Mountain injured and Zhou Xuan's main body also injured, there is only the Third Ancestor, a Breakthrough Realm cultivator. If they face the wrath of the Blade Sect, the entire Undying Mountain will likely be completely annihilated.

Everyone looked at the Third Ancestor in his immortal blue robe.

The moment the Undying Green Robe made his move, it caused many people to whisper among themselves.

"A being who has broken through the barrier actually interferes in the battle between half-step barrier breakers. The Undying Mountain is indeed as shameless as the rumors say."

"Fortunately, Dao Shisi has the background of the Dao Sect. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been killed by these three ancestors."

"You two keep your voices down, don't let them hear you, otherwise they'll take their anger out on you, and you'll die unjustly."

Faced with the discussions of those around them, the people of Undying Mountain looked grim, but they couldn't say anything, because what the people around them said was true.

The Mythical Arena is usually for those who are halfway to breaking through the barrier; there are no barrier breakers participating.

Now that the Three Ancestors in their green robes are personally involved, it seems to lower their status, which is very much in line with their impression of the Undying Mountain.

The Third Patriarch ignored the words spoken by those around him.

He didn't look at Zheng Tuo, but instead looked at Zhou Xuan, who had completely fallen into demonic possession.

"Third Ancestor, rest assured, I will personally take action to remove this Fourteenth Blade..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Third Ancestor struck, slapping Zhou Xuan to the spot.

"what!"

Everyone who saw this scene gaped in astonishment, their mouths agape in disbelief.

"Everyone, Zhou Xuan has fallen into demonic possession, which means he is no longer a being of Undying Mountain. Therefore, we must kill him to eliminate any future troubles."

The Immortal Emperor spoke up at this moment, informing everyone what had happened.

If a practitioner is controlled by inner demons, there is a high chance that they will completely lose themselves. Not only that, but they will also cause inner demons to be born around them, like a plague that is hard to guard against.

Zhou Xuan is a Dao Body of a Breaker, and the inner demon he has given birth to could very well affect his true form. Therefore, he must be killed to eliminate any future troubles.

Such decisive measures led everyone to gain a new understanding of the Third Patriarch.

No one dared to say another word. If they did, the decisive Third Ancestor would likely take action against them.

With just one slap, they would die, completely ending their cultivation career.

not far away.

Zheng Tuo felt a pang of unease seeing this scene.

Although Zhou Xuan was killed, he was not happy because he had not killed the other party himself.

However, from a long-term perspective, it's a good thing that Zhou Xuan was also killed, which will prevent the Sword Sect and the Undying Mountain from actually fighting each other.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if we were to besiege the Undying Mountain, we would need to break through and become a Wall Breaker before we could take action.

now.

Zhou Xuan is dead; the battle has ceased.

however.

The Undying Emperor stepped forward and looked at Zheng Tuo. "This is the first time I've seen someone reach the Great Perfection of the Blade Immortal Technique. Fellow Daoist Dao Fourteen, would you be willing to spar with me?"

Although the Immortal Emperor was not old, he had the demeanor of a powerful figure.

When he stands here, this place becomes the center of the entire world. Everyone listens attentively to his words; this is the aura of a strong person.

Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor's words, everyone around looked at Zheng Tuo with great interest.

"The Undying Emperor just defeated One-Sword Immortal, a super prodigy of the Sword Sect, and now he's going to attack another super prodigy of the Sword Sect. He's really going after the Sword Sect." Someone whispered.

"If you ask me, the Undying Emperor's purpose is probably to vent the anger of the Undying Mountain. After all, you and I could both see just now that if the Three Ancestors hadn't made a move, Zhou Xuan would have been killed by Dao Shisi. Now, the Undying Emperor has come to get revenge." Someone analyzed the stakes involved.

"Come on, place your bets! Place your bets! Dao Shisi, fight the Undying Emperor! Come on, come on!" Dao Xuemei and Jiu Shijian started their antics again.

People around who had nothing to do went up to play.

Everyone was in high spirits and quickly became friends. This was also the purpose of Jiu Shi Jian and Dao Xue Mei: to make many friends and set up an information network that would cover the entire Primordial Immortal Realm.

All eyes were on Zheng Tuo, waiting for his answer.

Zheng Tuo then looked at the Immortal Emperor.

He has now mastered the upper part of the Blade Immortal Technique to the Great Perfection. As for the lower part, he has not learned it. Therefore, fighting the Undying Emperor at this moment seems meaningless to him, because he cannot use it to cultivate.

Not only that.

The Immortal Emperor's purpose in coming here is clearly to fight against various powerful figures and make himself stronger.

If I were to fight him, wouldn't I just become his whetstone?

He had no intention of becoming a whetstone for the immortal emperor to help him grow.

He didn't want to fight his opponent, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to engage in combat.

Since that was the case, he readily agreed to fight the other party.

"Dao Shisi, you just overexerted yourself. I'll give you time to heal your injuries," the Undying Emperor said righteously.

"No need," Zheng Tuo waved his hand. "There's just one thing I need you to promise me."

"explain."

“I don’t want outsiders to interfere in our fight. What if I’m about to defeat you, and then one of the three patriarchs of the Undying Mountain intervenes? If that happens, I think our fight will be meaningless. Don’t you agree?”

Zheng Tuo looked at the immortal green robe of the Third Ancestor.

With such a barrier-breaker standing right here, he felt extremely uneasy.

"Don't worry, Dao Shisi, even if you kill me, the Three Ancestors won't help you."

"How can I see it?"

"Because I said those words, that is enough to prove it."

Such a boastful tone, as if the Third Patriarch were his servant, immediately drew astonishment from those around him!
The Third Ancestor, the Undying Green Robe, was at least a powerful figure at the second level of the Breakthrough Realm, someone who made them tremble in his presence.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Undying Emperor, the Undying Green Robe seemed to be his servant, obedient and at his mercy.

Zheng Tuo, though skeptical, said nothing more and, wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, charged toward the Undying Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor smiled upon seeing this.

What a fine whetstone! This mythical arena will be my ascension platform, hahaha.

With a flick of his palm, the Undying Heavenly Blade appeared in his hand, and he turned to attack Zheng Tuo.

And so the two sides went to war.

Sonorous!

The Immortal-Slaying Blade and the Undying Heavenly Blade separated after their first clash.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that neither side could gain the upper hand over the other.

The Immortal-Slaying Blade, which would normally crack upon colliding with the Undying Heavenly Blade, now showed no signs of damage, appearing incredibly powerful, immediately making everyone understand.

The use of any magical weapon depends on the user's strength.

Dao Shisi's use of the Immortal-Slaying Blade is clearly more powerful than Yi Dao Xian's use of the Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The clash between these two powerful individuals, a dialogue of equal strength, was clearly several times more intense than the two battles that had just taken place.

Zheng Tuo has already mastered the upper part of the Blade Immortal Technique to perfection. At this moment, he is fully capable of refining a primordial Dao pattern and using it to break through to become a Breaker-level being.

In contrast, the immortal emperor.

This guy's combat strength has always been a mystery. At this moment, wielding the Undying Heavenly Blade, he is actually fighting Zheng Tuo to a standstill.

The Immortal Emperor is absolutely a prodigy among prodigies, a genius among geniuses.

He was the youngest among those present, but the fighting prowess he displayed had already instilled fear in those around him.

Wherever the Undying Heavenly Blade passed, the surrounding space rippled and sank, appearing as if it were about to be shattered; it already possessed the power of a wall-breaker.

“These two guys have reached the limit of a half-step Breaker. If we gave either of them a primordial Dao pattern right now, I believe they could break through on the spot and become Breakers.” An old relic saw through the clues.

"There are more and more powerful beings in the Primordial Immortal Realm, but it is not easy to break through and become a Wall Breaker. Even if these two little guys are very strong, their foundation is not enough. If they were to fight against the Wall Breaker's Heavenly Tribulation, they would probably still be a bit lacking."

"That's right. The Primordial Immortal Realm is not lacking in monstrous talents, and those monstrous talents are not lacking in the primordial Dao patterns needed for breakthroughs. However, very few can actually break through and become barrier breakers. You should know that the tribulation lightning of barrier breakers is no joke."

"Great things come from small beginnings. Only after thousands of years of cultivation can we be sure to overcome tribulations," someone said.

The old-fashioned people around them were actually a little sour in their words.

Because they all knew that both the Undying Mountain and the Sword Sect possessed unclaimed primordial Dao patterns, meaning that both Sword Fourteen and the Undying Emperor had the opportunity to transcend tribulations and become beings at the level of Breakers.

But they didn't have that opportunity, so there was a hint of jealousy in their words.

The younger generation is completely different from the old-fashioned ones.

They are young, so they have plenty of time.

As they watched Zheng Tuo fight the Undying Emperor, they clenched their fists, their eyes burning with fervor, wishing they were the ones fighting.

People are unaware of the passage of time when they are young.

Their sole purpose at this moment is to defeat everyone, become the strongest of their generation, and then continue onward to become the strongest in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, and finally become the first True Immortal in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The Immortal-Slaying Blade and the Undying Heavenly Blade clashed time and again.

Sparks flew everywhere; the battle was fierce.

Zheng Tuo maintained a serious expression and remained highly focused throughout.

He had to admit that the Immortal Emperor was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.

With his perfected Blade Immortal Technique and the Immortal Slaying Blade, he was virtually invincible among his peers, yet he still couldn't gain any advantage over his opponent.

In contrast, the Immortal Emperor appeared completely at ease, as if fighting him was a relaxed experience without any pressure.

It is unknown what the origin of this Immortal Emperor is, or why his combat power is so formidable.

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought, and at the same time, he thought of his plan to kill the Immortal Emperor.

It seems the plan will have to be put on hold for now.
