The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2833 Legendary Figures
The old man possessed extraordinary fighting skills, managing to fight Zheng Tuo to a standstill.

Facing an opponent of such caliber, Zheng Tuo held nothing back. His Immortal-Slaying Blade was incredibly powerful, and he unleashed a furious attack on the old man.

The old man wielded a mixed iron rod, and his fighting prowess was astonishing.

The two fought back and forth for hundreds of rounds without a clear victor.

Zheng Tuo never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent.

Holding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, he began to refine the sword immortal energy within the blade during the battle, using his fight with the old man as a means to do so.

His original purpose in coming here was to obtain the Blade Immortal Qi. Now that he had this opportunity, he decided to use combat to refine the Blade Immortal Qi while cultivating the tenth level of the Blade Immortal Technique.

The refining of the sword immortal energy is clearly not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Like sword immortal energy, sword immortal energy belongs to the level of a barrier breaker and is the legendary source power of the sword ancestor.

Beings like the Sword Ancestor possess extremely extraordinary combat power, therefore, the Sword Immortal Qi itself is stronger than the Dao Body of a normal Breaker.

It is clear that refining the sword immortal energy for one's own use is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

But Zheng Tuo has absolute confidence in this.

He has now been recognized by the Immortal-Slaying Blade and is able to use it in battle.

Furthermore, he has now begun cultivating the tenth level of the Blade Immortal Technique, which is itself a technique possessed by the Blade Ancestor.

In this way, the cultivation of Dao Xian Qi was a natural progression for him.

With this in mind, he fought with all his might, showing no intention of holding back.

Sonorous!

The Immortal-Slaying Blade collided with the iron rod, sparks flying everywhere in an instant.

"Good lad, your methods are quite extraordinary, but do you think you can do anything to me?"

The old man's combat power is extremely astonishing.

Seeing that he was trapped here, he did not hesitate and immediately activated his supernatural powers.

hum!
His body instantly became enormous.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

The old man let out a fierce roar, his head reaching the sky, his feet planted on the ground, and his mouth like a pool of blood.

call!
With the iron rod in hand, the terrifying aura emanating from him immediately intimidated everyone present.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo was filled with fear!

He had also practiced similar techniques to the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, but compared to this small old man who was tens of thousands of feet tall, he was clearly far inferior.

But he was not discouraged, because only a powerful opponent could help him continue his cultivation.

He activated the technique, and his entire body became enormous.

Upon seeing this, the old man was taken aback!
"Where did you cultivate your Dharma of Heaven and Earth from, kid?" the old man asked, full of confusion.

"That was a long, long time ago." Zheng Tuo couldn't remember exactly when he had cultivated such supernatural powers.

He found that this method of Heaven and Earth was truly useless in combat, so he stopped cultivating it.

Seeing the old man use the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique, he remembered that he also knew such a method, so he decided to use it to fight the other party.

Seeing Zheng Tuo like this, the old man didn't hesitate and immediately started fighting with Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo, not to be outdone, also made a move and fought the old man.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Zheng Tuo was overwhelmed and had to stop using his supernatural powers.

"Hahaha...Boy, your Dharma of Heaven and Earth is only a superficial understanding. How can it compare to my Dharma of Heaven and Earth?"

The old man laughed heartily, looking quite happy, which puzzled Zheng Tuo.

The two sides were clearly engaged in a life-or-death struggle, but the old man seemed to be playing around.

"Even if I lose my Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power, you are still no match for me."

Zheng Tuo wielded the Immortal-Slaying Blade and made his move.

The Blade Immortal Technique traverses heaven and earth, displaying terrifying combat power.

Faced with this situation, the old man remained unusually calm.

His figure was over ten thousand feet tall, and he immediately launched an attack, continuing his fierce battle against Zheng Tuo.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, but neither could gain the upper hand.

not far away.

Seeing the battle between the two sides at such a high level, Jiu Li'er couldn't help but worry about her senior brother Zheng Tuo.

She could tell that the old man was very strong. Although Senior Brother Zheng Tuo was also very strong, in the current situation, neither side could gain any advantage.

She had an idea in mind: should she help her senior brother Zheng Tuo?

But after seeing how serious Zheng Tuo was, she knew she shouldn't get involved.

Senior Brother Zheng Tuo has his own plans, and if he can't hold on any longer, he will naturally seek my help.

With that thought in mind, she focused on manipulating the divine array to envelop the two of them, preventing the old man from escaping.

Under her control, the divine array transformed into a small world, where Zheng Tuo and the old man engaged in a fierce battle.

The two fought fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand. Even though the old man used his Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power, he could only manage a draw with Zheng Tuo.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo...

He was shocked to discover that the old man's physical defenses were quite terrifying.

In particular, when he uses the Heavenly Manifestation and Earthly Manifestation supernatural power, his overall defensive power reaches an extremely terrifying level.

His own Immortal-Slaying Blade was incredibly sharp, yet under such circumstances, it couldn't even penetrate his defenses, let alone leave a mark.

abnormal.

This old man is clearly only a Daoist in the form of a Breaker, yet his defensive capabilities are so abnormal. I really don't know how terrifying his true strength is.

Thinking of this, he realized that he absolutely could not let the old man leave, as doing so would inevitably bring him enormous trouble.

Wielding the Immortal-Slaying Blade, he attacked wildly.

He went all out, holding nothing back, and fought the old man fiercely.

The old man had been fighting with the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth for a long time, and his own energy was greatly depleted.

It seems that using the Dao body to perform the Dharma of Heaven and Earth is indeed somewhat of a stretch.

He had to stop and revert to his original size and form.

Seeing the old man stop using the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique, Zheng Tuo knew his opportunity had arrived.

He immediately activated his Ten Directions World Domain to envelop the old man, and then launched a powerful attack to fight the old man.

The old man knew he was no match for his opponent.

after all.

Even his most powerful Dharma of Heaven and Earth couldn't do anything to this kid, so with a bang, he actually transformed into a Kunpeng.

With a flap of its wings, it flew away from the place at lightning speed.

He was too fast; he disappeared from his spot in the blink of an eye and reappeared beside the divine array that imprisoned him.

Without any hesitation, the old man, transformed into a Kunpeng, crashed fiercely into the location of the divine array.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiu Li'er immediately became nervous.

She carefully manipulated the divine array, trying to block the old man.

But then she was shocked to see that the old man had instantly passed through the small world of the divine array she had set up and escaped from this place.

"what!"

Jiuli'er and Zheng Tuo were immediately dumbfounded!

The divine array was a power at the level of a barrier breaker, yet the old man broke through it so easily.

What extraordinary methods did that old man just use?

brush!
Without saying a word, Zheng Tuo immediately gave chase.

He himself had received the Kunpeng inheritance and had also practiced several arts under heaven.

He simply merged all his movement techniques into a single technique called "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch." Whoosh!
He used all his strength to shrink the earth to an inch to catch up with the old man.

But the old man's speed was beyond comprehension.

Upon closer inspection, the old man was flying in the form of a Kunpeng. With each flap of his dark wings, the surrounding space rippled, and then, as if teleported, he escaped a great distance.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo understood that the old man was using spatial power.

The two chased each other, moving swiftly through the mythical arena.

But no matter how hard Zheng Tuo chased, he couldn't catch up with the old man.

The old man was incredibly fast at escaping; his speed was beyond comprehension.

finally.

Zheng Tuo stopped chasing, because in his opinion, he really couldn't catch up with the old man anymore.

Looking at the old man who had successfully escaped from his grasp, Zheng Tuo sensed the seriousness of the situation.

The old man will definitely not let this matter rest.

He knew perfectly well that the old man would inevitably seek him out for a fight again at some point.

At that time, I might face an old man at the level of a wallbreaker.

Thinking about this gave him a headache.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry." Jiu Li'er looked very remorseful.

Despite her best efforts, using a divine array to create a small world to imprison the two, she still couldn't stop the old man from escaping the divine array.

"It's not your fault. That old man's skills are extraordinary. He actually managed to escape the divine array. I didn't expect that either."

Zheng Tuo spoke up to comfort Jiu Li'er.

The old man managed to escape even with the immense power of the divine array, demonstrating his truly extraordinary escape skills.

"Senior brother, what should we do now? That old man will probably come looking for us again."

Jiuli'er understood.

Given the existence of such a peerless elixir, it's believed that those who break through barriers will definitely fight for it. In the future, they might not be facing the old man from before, but rather the old man's true form.

Faced with a being who has broken through the barrier, unless their master comes in person, the two of them would be no match for each other.

Having come to this point, Zheng Tuo, after some thought, decided to leave the area first.

The old man's methods are indeed extraordinary, but finding the two of them is not an easy task.

This is the only option for now; further planning is needed for the long term.

He immediately wanted to leave with Jiuli'er.

suddenly!

A figure appeared not far away; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the old man returning from a distance.

Upon seeing the old man returning from afar, Zheng Tuo felt inexplicably nervous.

How could it be so fast!

brush!
The old man returned, looking no different from before.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Because he could tell that the little old man was not his true form, but rather the little old man who had just fought him.

"Young man, your movement technique is quite good, but unfortunately, you are still no match for me."

Zheng Tuo looked at the old man who had returned like this, unsure of what he was up to.

Why come back when you've already escaped?

He ignored the old man and turned to leave with Jiu Li'er.

But the next moment, the old man actually followed.

"Boy, what you have obtained is not something you should have taken. Hand it over and I will spare your life. If you do not hand it over, when my true form arrives, you will surely die."

The old man's words were full of threats, and he seemed to have a firm grasp on the fact that the old man was afraid of him all day long.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought.

This old man really has some shameless tricks up his sleeve.

It actually took advantage of its speed to follow closely behind.

If this continues, when the old man's true form arrives, wouldn't he be able to instantly pinpoint my location? That would be a real problem.

"go!"

He quickly left the place with Jiuli'er.

But the old man, just as he had expected, followed behind them at a leisurely pace, neither getting close nor fighting, simply following them.

No matter what methods the two used to escape, the old man followed closely and refused to leave.

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo immediately stopped and discussed it with Jiu Li'er before they each went their separate ways.

"Brother!"

Jiuli'er understood Zheng Tuo's deeper meaning.

My senior brother didn't want to drag me down, so he asked me to leave.

"Don't worry, I might be better off dealing with them on my own. You'll have to walk your own path from here on out. Be careful in everything you do, and remember to change your appearance so you don't get targeted."

After admonishing Jiuli'er, Zheng Tuo turned and left.

Jiuli'er watched Zheng Tuo leave, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Traveling with their senior brother was a very enjoyable experience, but the Mythical Arena was ultimately a place of battle, and they had no way to enjoy it.

Moreover, his senior brother had just assigned him some tasks, which forced him to leave quickly.

Swipe!

The two of them transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared from the spot.

The old man glanced at the two of them, then turned and caught up with Zheng Tuo.

"Boy, you can't escape. When my true form arrives, your little wife won't be able to escape either. So, hand over the peerless elixir in your hand immediately, and I can let you go right away. What do you say?"

The old man followed closely behind Zheng Tuo not far away, his relaxed and calm demeanor clearly indicating that he had grasped Zheng Tuo's weakness.

Zheng Tuo paid no attention to this.

He accelerated at full speed, going at the absolute limit.

He let the old man follow him without saying a word, and just ran as fast as he could.

This journey lasted for three full days.

Three days later, Zheng Tuo stopped in a remote place.

He calculated the time and concluded that Jiuli'er should have already found her other Dao bodies and handed over the peerless elixir to them.

And that Daoist body was accompanied by a great dragon. With the strength of the great dragon, it was believed that even if it encountered this old man's true form, it would not be easily defeated.

Thinking of this, he felt at ease, and even if he were to die in battle right now, he could accept it.

and so.

He turned his head and looked at the little old man who had been following him closely for three days.

The old man was short, only about 1.4 meters tall.

He looked extremely thin and old.

Zheng Tuo searched his memory. He had looked at the list and portraits of those who broke through the barrier in the original immortal realm, but he had no memory of the old man.

"This junior disciple of the Sword Sect, Dao Shisi, is unaware of your name, senior," Zheng Tuo asked the old man calmly.

The old man looked at Zheng Tuo and said, "My surname is Wu and my given name is Zhiqi."

"Wuzhiqi!"

Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at the old man. The name Wuzhiqi was very special because, according to the legends he knew, the original form of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was Wuzhiqi.

I never imagined that I would meet such a legendary figure.
