The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

The force of the punches was deafening, resounding loudly.

A fierce clash, a battle, a duel between two unparalleled masters.

The terrifying phantom of the Demon Ancestor terrified Zheng Tuo!

How can someone who has been dead for so long still possess such great power?

He clenched his fists, pushing his fist intent to its limit.

In a trance!
The shadows of countless powerful figures appeared behind him.

These shadows are blurry and indistinct.

Each of them exuded an incomparably powerful aura.

These shadows are all manifestations of the power that Zheng Tuo cultivated.

They embody the essence of Zheng Tuoquan's style.

Their appearance this time exuded an aura of power that was unprecedented in history.

The demon ancestor's phantom was no match for such pressure and was defeated on the spot by Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tu strode forward.

The phantom of the Demon Ancestor still blocked their way.

Unfazed, he continued his aggressive attacks, displaying formidable combat power.

"You can't stop me!"

Zheng Tuo uttered these words in a low voice.

The demonic phantom seemed to have heard what the whole day had been saying.

hum!
All the fighting ended in an instant.

Zheng Tuo looked into the distance.

what is that?
He saw an old man sitting under an ancient tree, seemingly drinking tea.

Seeing this scene, especially after seeing the old man's appearance, Zheng Tuo understood.

This old man is also a phantom of the Demon Ancestor.

He strode forward and stood before the phantom of the Demon Ancestor, looking at it.

"Young friend, your boxing skills are truly extraordinary! I am deeply impressed!"

The demonic phantom actually spoke, and it seemed to possess complete intelligence.

Zheng Tuo saw this.

I was shocked!
The Demon Ancestors are beings who have been dead for an unknown period of time.

It's already incredible that it can leave a phantom image.

It even possesses intelligence and can converse with itself.

"Please have a seat, young friend."

The phantom of the Demon Ancestor invited Zheng Tuo to sit down and have some tea.

Zheng Tuo saw this.

He glanced at the spiritual tea on the table but didn't touch it.

He did not know the Demon Ancestor, nor did he know much about him.

Who knows what's in this cup of tea now?

If I were to drink this tea and it caused me any problems, then it would be a great loss.

He sat down and looked at the phantom of the Demon Ancestor in front of him.

"Young friend, you are not the one I am waiting for."

These words from the demon ancestor's phantom stirred something within Zheng Tuo.

Since he was not the person the demonic phantom was waiting for, it seemed that he would not be able to obtain the demonic ancestor's inheritance.

"However, you are special."

Zheng Tuo was puzzled by the demon's phantom's words.

"Special? Senior, please speak frankly."

"Straightforward?"

The phantom of the Demon Ancestor glanced at Zheng Tuo.

"Young friend, you must walk your own path!"

The illusory figure of the Demon Ancestor spoke in a cryptic manner, uttering words that Zheng Tuo could not understand.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo did not hesitate and directly stated his purpose.

"I wonder if I, a junior, can inherit the mantle of my predecessors."

Zheng Tuo desperately wanted the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor.

If he could obtain the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor and refine the Dao patterns cultivated by the Demon Ancestor, it would definitely be a great help to him.

"My mantle?"

The illusory image of the Demon Ancestor stared at Zheng Tuo for a long time.

"I have no problem giving you my legacy, but I have two requests. If you can agree to them, I will also give you my mantle."

"Senior, please speak."

"My first request is that you find me the most suitable successor to pass on my mantle. Are you willing?"

"No problem, I can agree to this, senior."

“Very good. My second request is that the demon race is currently in disarray. I hope you will assist the successor who will carry on my legacy in reuniting the entire demon race. Are you willing?”

"this?"

Zheng Tuo hesitated!

The demon race is a large race comparable to the human race.

As an outsider, it would be unreasonable for me to get involved in the internal struggles of the demon race.

But he thought about it carefully.

If one can obtain the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, then it would be reasonable for the Demon Ancestor to unify the country.

"No problem, I can agree to that too, senior."

"very good."

"please."

The phantom of the Demon Ancestor picked up a cup of spiritual tea, intending to invite Zheng Tuo to drink it.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo looked at the spiritual tea in front of him, but ultimately did not drink it.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the illusory image of the Demon Ancestor before him.

Instead, he deeply distrusted the illusory image of the Demon Ancestor before him.

Even though he had made an agreement with the other party, he hadn't received anything at the moment.

In this situation.

He naturally wouldn't easily drink the spiritual tea that the other party had prepared in advance.

Seeing that Zheng Tuo did not drink the spiritual tea, the phantom of the demon ancestor nodded, his eyes full of approval.

There are such people who will inherit their legacy.

Believe.

He will certainly be able to keep his promise.

"Young friend, may you have a safe journey."

As the illusory figure of the Demon Ancestor spoke, it raised its hand and waved it. In a flash, Zheng Tuo appeared in the main hall outside.

At this moment.

He had a jade slip in his hand.

Zheng Tuo looked thoughtfully at the jade slip in his hand.

The demon ancestor's phantom so simply handed over its inheritance to me; I always felt there was something fishy going on.

Just as he was wondering if there was really some danger involved...

suddenly!

Danger is approaching.

brush!
He disappeared instantly.

at the same time!

He was just hit by a bone spike at the spot where he was standing.

Turning his head, he saw the Fox Ancestor put away his bone spurs and look at him with a gaze full of desire.

"Boy, you are indeed extraordinary, actually managing to obtain the inheritance of that old demon ancestor. Come, hand over the inheritance to me, and I will let you leave. If you don't, I will make you die here today."

The fox ancestor revealed his fox tail.

original.

The Fox Ancestor's goal from beginning to end was to obtain the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor.

However, he himself could not obtain the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, because he was originally sealed here by the Demon Ancestor.

"Fox Ancestor, you and Demon Ancestor are companions, so why go to such lengths to obtain the Demon Ancestor's inheritance? There's no reason for it!"

Zheng Tuo looked at the Fox Ancestor in front of him and sensed its immense power.

Upon careful analysis, it seems the opponent has likely reached the first level of the Breakthrough Realm.

"Shut up!"

The fox ancestor's voice was filled with anger.

"That bastard Demon Ancestor! He promised me he would pass on the entire Demon Ancestor's throne to me, but he broke his promise. He sealed me here, preventing me from ever leaving. Why? Why..."

The Fox Ancestor's voice boomed, and he erupted completely.

An overwhelming force ravaged the heavens and earth.

The Fox Ancestor revealed its terrifying aura.

Faced with such a terrifying aura, Zheng Tuo's eyes flashed, and he withstood the Fox Ancestor's terrifying pressure with his physical body alone.

"I see!"

Looking at the Fox Ancestor at this moment, Zheng Tuo clearly sensed the other party's ambition.

Simultaneously.

He also sensed the aura of inner demons emanating from the other party.

"You are trapped by your own inner demons. Although you are still the Fox Ancestor, you are also a demon in your heart. It seems that the Demon Ancestor's choice was not wrong. You are not worthy to become the new Demon Ancestor, because if you become the new Demon Ancestor, it will inevitably lead the entire demon race into a great calamity."

Zheng Tuo was unusually familiar with the aura of his inner demons.

Because he controls both the power of light and the Dao patterns of righteousness.

Both the righteous Dao patterns and the power of light possess an extremely sensitive perception of the aura of inner demons.

At this moment.

The demonic aura emanating from the Fox Ancestor was swelling, clearly indicating that it was being controlled by its inner demons.

"Inner demon!"

The fox ancestor's eyes burned with raging flames. "I am controlled by my inner demons, how laughable! I have long since tamed my inner demons and become their ancestor. How could I possibly be controlled by them?"

The Fox Ancestor was quite confident in himself.

Because his cultivation primarily focuses on illusion techniques.

He had done special research on inner demons, and even used them for his own purposes.

Under these circumstances, he was confident that he had completely taken control of his inner demons.

even.

He can use his inner demons to help him cultivate and become stronger.

Seeing the Fox Ancestor like this, Zheng Tuo understood that the Fox Ancestor was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Fox Ancestor, it seems you haven't realized that you are now a demon in your heart, or rather, you are deceiving yourself that you are not a demon in your heart."

Hear this.

The Fox Ancestor immediately flew into a rage.

"You little bastard, who do you think you are to lecture me? Die!"

brush!
The Fox Ancestor has arrived.

The fist techniques surged, and the killing intent ran rampant.

Faced with such a powerful fox ancestor, Zheng Tuo turned around and clashed with him.

The two sides clashed, exchanging blows, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"You slaying immortal brat, hand over the Demon Ancestor's inheritance, or today will be your death day."

As the Fox Ancestor spoke, he immediately transformed into his true form.

Look up.

The Fox Ancestor was now existing in the form of bones.

A white skeletal nine-tailed fox demon appeared before Zheng Tuo.

brush!
The Fox Ancestor has arrived.

Its nine bony tails, like nine sharp swords, attacked Zheng Tuo from different angles.

Sonorous!

Zheng Tuo clashed head-on with his Daoist fist, producing a resounding clang.

The two sides clashed, their resounding voices echoing throughout the land.

As the fighting between the two sides escalated.

The power of a Wallbreaker surged in this world, tearing apart the surrounding space and causing the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world to rumble.

"You Immortal-Slaying Fairy, where do you think you are?!"

As the Fox Ancestor spoke, he directly manipulated the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world to empower himself, causing his aura to surge and directly reach the level of the second level of the Breaker.

Having personally experienced the terrifying combat power of the Fox Ancestor, Zheng Tuo dared not be careless in the slightest.

Countless Dao patterns flickered on his fists, and he had completely entered his peak state.

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

Sonorous!

The clashes between the two sides have never ceased.

The fierce battle affected this world, seemingly causing its complete destruction.

Even though the Fox Ancestor's aura had reached the second level of the Breaker Realm.

But Zheng Tuo was not afraid at all.

Because there are righteous Dao patterns on his fist.

The power of the righteous Dao patterns can suppress all evil things, especially inner demons.

The Fox Ancestor is now controlled by inner demons, and is suppressed when facing someone with the Righteous Dao Pattern.

If they were to fight at the same level, Zheng Tuo was confident he could destroy Fox Ancestor.

pity.

The current Fox Ancestor possesses the combat power of a second-level Breaker, and in this encounter, the two sides can only manage a draw, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

In such an intense and frenzied battle...

Zheng Tuo then realized a very serious problem: at this moment, Yao Ruxian seemed to be controlled by the Fox Ancestor.

Yao Ruxian was, after all, his good friend.

The Fox Ancestor has been controlled by his inner demons and may very well use Yao Ruxian to target him.

Think of this.

He immediately informed his Daoist body in secret, instructing him to check on Yao Ruxian's current condition.

in the hall.

Yao Ruxian sat cross-legged, enveloped by the power of the Fox Ancestor.

It seemed to be receiving the inheritance of the Fox Ancestor, because its expression was gentle and it showed no signs of discomfort.

Seeing her so enchanting and ethereal, Zheng Tuo was unsure whether he should disturb her.

after all.

Yao Ruxian is a member of the fox clan. The fox ancestor would never target his own descendant.

No.

He thought about it.

The Fox Ancestor has been controlled by his inner demons.

Logically, the Fox Ancestor would probably possess a demon's body and become an immortal, thus being reborn and returning to the world.

after all.

The Fox Ancestor has existed for far too long.

Its original form is no longer as powerful as it once was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight his own body to a standstill.

The Fox Ancestor was a contemporary of the Demon Ancestor. A powerhouse of that level would at least be a fifth-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

The fact that it is now fighting back and forth with its own body is enough to show that its own body is overwhelmed.

Think of this.

He couldn't help but move closer to Yao Ruxian.

Carefully, they tried to awaken the demon like a fairy.

In contrast, the demons and immortals remained unmoved, showing no sign of being awakened.

See here.

He had no choice but to take action, extending a powerful Daoist aura in an attempt to make contact with Yao Ruxian.

but.

The moment his righteous Dao patterns touched Yao Ruxian, he was immediately discovered by the Fox Ancestor.

"Slaying immortals? It's useless. Yao Ruxian is already the Yao Ruxian of the past. Give up on that idea."

Hear this.

Zheng Tuo frowned slightly.

He immediately realized that his guess was correct.

The Demon Ancestor was indeed possessing the body of the demon Ruxian.

He was anxious and made another move.

The powerful Dao patterns were extraordinary; even though they could restrain the Fox Ancestor's inner demon power, they could not penetrate further.

No.

Coming.

He continued to take action, hoping for a turnaround.

at the same time.

At this moment, Yao Ruxian was in complete darkness.

where is this place?
Yao Ruxian looked around at everything. At first, he wasn't afraid, but then he saw a familiar scene.

It was a village, and it was brightly lit at that moment.

hum!
The scene shifts, and she appears in the brightly lit center.

"killed!"

"Monster! Kill this monster!"

"Skin her alive!"

The villagers' voices were like demonic chants, yelling for her to be killed.

This is……

This is me when I was a child!
Yao Ruxian suddenly remembered that this moment was exactly like a scene from her childhood.

She was abandoned by the demon race and captured by the human race, where she suffered endless torment.

But she was lucky; she escaped death countless times and survived each time.

now.

Memories from the past surfaced in her mind.

The terrifying faces of those people once surrounded her like a raging flood.

Memories of being persecuted, bullied, and humiliated flooded her mind, causing her to burst into tears on the spot.

outside world!

Zheng Tuo looked at Yao Ruxian, who suddenly burst into tears, and felt anxious.

He didn't know what Yao Ruxian was going through at that moment, but based on his understanding of Yao Ruxian...

She doesn't shed tears easily.

And with such a pained expression and such heartbroken cries.

hum!
The vast Dao patterns surged, attempting to break the seal left by the Fox Ancestor.

No matter what.

The seal left by the Fox Ancestor was too strong; it could not be broken by the Dao Patterns alone.

He dared not use Dao Fist to attack forcefully, because that might harm Yao Ruxian.

Maybe!

There was only one solution he could think of.

Although it's risky, saving Yao Ruxian is the most important thing right now.

That being the case.

Let's begin. (End of Chapter)
