The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 3002 The Old Man's Scheme
Zheng Tuo was somewhat overwhelmed by the combined attack of the four ancient wallbreakers.

Just as Da Feng said, he had only recently broken through to the Breaker realm, and his foundation was not yet stable. He still needed time to solidify his foundation and to hone his skills.

Even so, Zheng Tuo remained assertive.

He also wanted to see just how far his strength had come.

hum!
The Five Elements Divine Lord Immortal Slaying Diagram appeared above his head, and instantly, the power of the Five Elements Immortal Sword increased several times over.

He went all out, engaging in a fierce battle with four ancient figures. The clash between the two sides immediately attracted powerful figures to come.

In this vast world, any battle will attract the attention of powerful figures, who will investigate to see if people are vying for the Fountain of Youth.

When powerful figures arrived and witnessed the battle, they were all filled with astonishment!

They saw no information about the Fountain of Youth, nor any information about magical treasures.

This battle between the two sides is more like a fight between old grudges.

of course.

Zheng Tuo possesses the reserves of the Fountain of Youth, which allows one to live a lifetime, but he will not proactively tell the visitors.

The same applies to the four old-timers.

They wouldn't be foolish enough to tell everyone around them that Zheng Tuo possessed the Fountain of Youth.

The powerful figures around them watched the battle but, having gained no information, all turned and left.

Watching was pointless for them; they might as well continue their search for the Fountain of Youth.

"Hand over the Godslayer. I believe you understand that you are not in a favorable position in this battle against us."

Da Feng shouted out, trying to force Zheng Tuo to comply.

Zheng Tuo remained unmoved by this.

He manipulated the Five Elements Gods' Immortal-Slaying Diagram and activated the Five Elements Immortal Sword, fighting fiercely against four ancient beings like a peerless sword immortal, without being at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"As expected of a peerless powerhouse among the younger generation, he possesses such extraordinary combat strength even when facing four opponents. Impressive!"

The old man in gray held Zheng Tuo in high regard from beginning to end.

Even amidst the life-or-death struggle between the two sides, the gray-robed elder still praised Zheng Tuo highly.

"So what if he's a new generation of unparalleled powerhouse? Today, he who slew a god will surely be slain here!"

Xiao Feng was ruthless and showed no mercy.

A powerful force was generated in his palm, which he continuously unleashed.

The surrounding space trembled like ripples on water, showing how ruthless Xiao Feng was.

Zheng Tuo remained silent, continuing to make forceful moves and display his powerful abilities.

The Five Elements Immortal Sword transformed into five powerful beings.

Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Celestial Whale.

Five powerful beings descended upon the scene, and with the blessing of the Five Elements Gods' Immortal-Slaying Diagram, they attacked the four people present.

among them.

The Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger joined forces to besiege Xiao Feng.

After a brief exchange, Zheng Tuo clearly realized that Xiao Feng was the weakest of the four.

If we want to defeat the four, Xiao Feng is the key.

The Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger were the two most lethal immortal swords. When they attacked Xiao Feng, he was immediately overwhelmed and forced to retreat.

"You bastard god-slayer, do you really think I'm a pushover?!"

Xiao Feng was extremely domineering, with Dao patterns surging around his body, and lightning flashing in an instant.

It resembled a thunder god warrior, with a rumbling sound all around, quite domineering.

Undeterred, Zheng Tuo continued his aggressive attack.

No matter what tricks you, Xiao Feng, use, you will ultimately find it difficult to escape the siege of the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger Immortal Swords.

"what!"

Xiao Feng let out an angry roar.

He attempted to create his own vast world, using its power to fight against Zhentian.

however.

He was shocked to discover.

In this vast world, it is impossible to open up one's own world.

how so!
Startled, Xiao Feng panicked and was immediately struck by the Vermilion Bird Sword and the White Tiger Sword, suffering severe injuries.

"It's no use. The spatial barriers of this world are extremely strong, even far exceeding those of the original Immortal Realm. You cannot open your own great world!"

Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Zheng Tuo knew that this guy wanted to use the power of his Great World to fight.

"Hmph!" Little Feng sneered, "Even without the power of the Great World, I can still kill you!"

Xiao Feng's words were quite domineering, but unfortunately, his methods were no match for Zheng Tuo's.

Zheng Tuo possesses five powerful inheritances, and the Five Elements Immortal Swords in his hands are all innate treasures. At this moment, he is also blessed by the Five Elements God Venerable Immortal Slaying Diagram. Even though Xiao Feng is a barrier-breaker, he is still suppressed by Zheng Tuo.

As a fellow powerhouse at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm, Zheng Tuo was confident he could defeat anyone.

Is this all you're capable of?

Zheng Tuo wields the Vermilion Bird Sword and the White Tiger Sword.

The beings formed from the two immortal swords descended as if in their true forms, and Xiao Feng was severely suppressed, as if he could be killed at any moment, which prompted Da Feng to take action and try to help.

"Stop right there! Did I say you could move?"

The Azure Dragon, formed from the Azure Dragon Sword, blocked Da Feng, preventing him from helping his younger brother Xiao Feng.

"Go away!"

Da Feng was furious.

No matter what.

The Azure Dragon formed from the Azure Dragon Sword was no pushover; it perfectly blocked the attack, and no matter how furiously it roared, it couldn't get close to Xiao Feng, who was at a disadvantage.

Seeing that he could not help his younger brother, Da Feng immediately called out to the old man in gray and the old woman, trying to seek their help.

But now the old man in gray and the old woman are also entangled.

The Xuanwu Sword, transformed into the Xuanwu, and the Celestial Whale Sword, transformed into the Celestial Whale of the Milky Way, are both powerful enough to withstand the help of the other two.

Moreover.

The old man in gray and the old woman wouldn't actually help.

When Zheng Tuo fought against the two, he clearly felt that neither of them were using their full strength.

Both of them were merely putting on an act and had no intention of fighting to the death with him.

An old-fashioned person is indeed an old-fashioned person; extremely intelligent, knowing exactly where they stand.

and so.

When he fought against both of them, he didn't go all out either; he just went through the motions.

In this way...

He then had the energy to target Xiao Feng.

The White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were already powerful, and under Zheng Tuo's control, their combat strength increased several times over.

Xiao Feng was in excruciating pain from the beating.

He was unable to open his own world to fight Zheng Tuo, which meant that many of his trump cards were unusable.

"Damn, this guy is really something!"

Xiao Feng cursed and turned to run away.

hum!
The power of the Five Elements Gods' Immortal-Slaying Diagram descended, instantly sealing off the area and preventing Xiao Feng from escaping for the time being.

"Big brother!"

Having no other option, Xiao Feng could only call out to his elder brother again.

Seeing his younger brother in grave danger, Da Feng had no choice but to sacrifice his life and use his escape technique to instantly appear beside his brother Xiao Feng.

When the two brothers joined forces, their fighting power increased several times over.

"Godslayer, today you shall die!"

Once Xiao Feng caught his breath, his body crackled with lightning in a fit of rage.

however.

Da Feng stopped Xiao Feng, who was in a rage, from making a move. Da Feng realized that the gray-robed elder and the old woman were not going all out, and if the two brothers killed the god-slayer, the two would surely take advantage of the situation.

Both sides temporarily ceased fighting and went their separate ways.

"Big brother!"

Just as Xiao Feng was puzzled, he heard Da Feng's voice transmission.

Although he is called Xiao Feng, he is actually more than nine thousand years old.

He understood the stakes involved.

"Hey you two, why aren't you going all out to kill the Godslayer? The four of us working together, are we afraid of him?"

Xiao Feng called out to the elderly man and woman in gray.

"What are you saying? We have already done our best, but unfortunately, this fellow Daoist who kills gods is truly skilled, and we are ashamed to admit that we are no match for him."

The old man in gray spoke as he did so, still showing great respect to Zheng Tuo.

"What a fine excuse of self-deprecation! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you think trying to befriend this god-slayer will grant you the Fountain of Immortality?"

Xiao Feng's words were full of sarcasm.

That's the Fountain of Youth, the fountain that can prolong life and even help people live a lifetime.

Even though this god-slayer is young and seems to have no need for the Fountain of Youth, he will eventually grow old.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly extend your lives with the Fountain of Youth?

I don't think so!

Zheng Tuo spoke these words slowly, which immediately drew the attention of the four old men.

"What conditions would it take for Fellow Daoist Godslayer to relinquish the Fountain of Youth?" the gray-robed elder asked cautiously.

What do you think?

These three words are puzzling.

Actually.

The four old-timers all understood the meaning behind Zheng Tuo's words.

Naturally, they would have to pay the same price to obtain something as life-extending as the Fountain of Youth.

The only price to pay is to submit to Zheng Tuo and become his servant.

In this way, the time they could extend their lives with the Fountain of Youth was entirely handed over to the other party to use.

"Godslayer, you really think you're so great! Who do you think you are, daring to order us to serve you!"

The Feng brothers harbored an innate hostility towards Zheng Tuo.

"Old bones like yours, yet so hot-tempered. It seems you're in a real hurry to reach the Fountain of Youth to prolong your lives!"

Zheng Tuo looked at the Feng brothers.

He had no liking for the two brothers, and even if they were willing to submit to him, he would not accept them.

"Godslayer, we will meet again."

Da Feng didn't talk to Zheng Tuo anymore and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng glared at Zheng Tuo and left with his older brother.

Zheng Tuo did not stop them.

He was confident that he had the strength to kill both of them, but not now.

If I were to kill the Feng brothers now, it would certainly be very taxing, and I might even get injured.

Wouldn't that benefit the old man in gray and the old woman?

The Feng brothers left, but the old man in gray and the old woman did not.

“Fellow Daoist who kills gods, after careful consideration, I find your proposed conditions to be reasonable. I am willing to follow you for ten thousand years and become your servant. I wonder if you could help me prolong my life?”

In order to continue living, the old man in gray directly expressed his willingness to become Zheng Tuo's ally.

Just as Zheng Tuo had predicted before.

These old fogies are willing to do anything to survive.

The old man in gray had no reason to refuse the mere offer of becoming his servant.

"I've thought about it carefully too. Fellow Daoist Godslayer is a dragon among men. It's no problem for him to reach the fifth level of the Breaker Realm in the future. I'm afraid I'll only stay at the first level of the Breaker Realm in this lifetime. Since that's the case, I'm willing to follow Fellow Daoist Godslayer for ten thousand years and explore this path to immortality."

The old man in gray and the old woman were both willing to follow Zheng Tuo.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo was moved.

Despite their advanced age, these two old men are still incredibly powerful.

Especially since he had just fought with them, he deeply felt how powerful they were.

This ancient artifact has lived for nearly ten thousand years.

Throughout these ten thousand years, they have been cultivating at all times, so one can imagine how powerful they are.

If we can bring them both under our command, they will naturally become two major forces.

but.

If we want to recruit them, we need to help them prolong their lives.

The fountain of youth in his possession was only enough to extend one person's life for one lifetime.

Moreover.

He himself had not even used such a precious fountain of youth; how could he so easily hand it over to others?

"My two fellow Daoists, I must say, I am very interested in the idea of ​​you two becoming my servants. However, I don't have many Fountains of Youth left. How about this: if I can obtain more Fountains of Youth later, and you two are still willing, I don't mind helping you extend your lives. What do you say?"

Zheng Tuo could only say this much.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

The old man in gray laughed and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, I believe your methods will surely yield even more from the Fountain of Youth. When that time comes, you must not forget the promise you made now!"

promise?

Zheng Tuo understood what the other person meant.

"This matter requires careful consideration. I'll take my leave now." Zheng Tuo stood up and left.

The old man in gray and the old woman did not appear to stop Zheng Tuo.

Firstly, they couldn't stop Zheng Tuo; secondly, there was no point in trying to stop him.

After Zheng Tuo left.

"How is it?" the old man in gray asked the old woman.

"This god-slayer is indeed as powerful as the rumors say. Even with the four of us joining forces, we couldn't defeat him. In fact, we were almost severely injured by him. What a hero among the young!"

The old woman took Zheng Tuo's abilities very seriously.

The exchange just now was no joke.

Although she didn't go all out later, she did go all out at the beginning.

"So, old man, why did you suddenly change your mind and choose to compromise and improve relations with them?"

The old woman and the old man in gray were actually husband and wife, a fact unknown to the Feng brothers.

“It’s very simple.” The gray-robed elder’s gaze was deep as he looked in the direction Zheng Tuo had left.

"We've been chasing the Fountain of Youth all the way, but it hasn't stopped for a moment. On the contrary, as soon as this kid appeared, the Fountain of Youth immediately stayed by his side and flowed out in large quantities. It seems that this guy is quite favored by the Fountain of Youth."

"You mean..." The old woman's eyes widened suddenly.

“That’s right. The Fountain of Youth might seek out this Godslayer. If my judgment is correct, based on our conversation with the Godslayer just now, the Godslayer will definitely help us prolong our lives.”

"Why? The Fountain of Youth is such a precious thing. Even if the Godslayer is young, he wouldn't easily extend our lives, would he?" the old woman asked, puzzled.

"He has no choice but to help us after killing a god. Don't forget, this guy has a deep grudge against the Undying Emperor of Undying Mountain. There's a good chance they'll fight. When that happens, we'll definitely need your and my help." The gray-robed old man's plan was quite meticulous.

"That would be best. If we could extend our lives by ten thousand years, we would surely be able to break through our limitations and reach the second level of the Breaker Realm." The old woman was full of confidence in this.

"Walk."

The two got up and left, their destination unknown.

The other side.

Zheng Tuo was not in a hurry to travel.

He found a spot by the lake and sat down peacefully beside it, like a tourist on a leisurely vacation, seemingly unsure of what he was going to do.
