The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 3031 Three-Way Melee

The Four Spirits Formation resounded loudly.

The Four Spirits Formation, crafted from the four celestial spirits, seemed capable of suppressing and killing Zhang Qi and Wang Wu.

But Zheng Tuo did not do that.

He intends to suppress them both, then search their souls to uncover the secrets behind them.

"Zhang Qi, Wang Wu, I know you two are also helpless right now. Tell me who is controlling you, and I can help you escape. Otherwise, you will probably die by my sword."

Zheng Tuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Zhang Qi and Wang Wu, speaking directly to them.

"what!"

Zhang Qi let out a roar like a wild beast.

This scene was exactly the same as Niu Qianhua's appearance just now.

It seems that Zhang Qi really wanted to tell Zheng Tuo what had happened, but he was being controlled and found it difficult to speak.

"Godslayer? Enough with the nonsense. If you're so capable, then kill us first."

Wang Wu refused to accept this and continued to make forceful moves.

Even so, Zheng Tuo could see pain on his face.

Zhang Qi and Wang Wu are both puppets being manipulated by others.

They are now powerless to control their own destiny; everything they are experiencing now is not what they wanted.

Who is it that can control old fogies like Zhang Qi and Wang Wu? Who is behind all this trouble?

Zheng Tuo thought to himself, and then didn't hesitate any longer.

With a thought, the Five Elements Divine Lord Immortal Slaying Diagram descended upon the arena.

With the blessing of the Five Elements Gods' Immortal-Slaying Diagram, the power of the Heavenly Four Spirits Divine Array instantly increased several times.

hum!
A terrifying spiritual pressure descended, forcefully suppressing Zhang Qi and Wang Wu on the spot.

"what!"

Zhang Qi and Wang Wu roared.

But their bodies were being suppressed.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo strolled over to Zhang Qi.

Seeing Zhang Qi in excruciating pain, he slowly raised his finger, attempting to touch Zhang Qi's brow to search his soul.

Just now.

hum!
A billowing black aura emanated from Zhang Qi's body.

Immediately afterwards, billowing black smoke also emerged from Wang Wu's body.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo immediately left the two of them.

He had anticipated this, seeing the billowing black energy emanating from both of them.

after all.

Niu Qianhua was in this state just now.

The billowing black mist was a power never seen before.

But upon closer examination, Zheng Tuo's heart stirred.

The scent of death.

That black aura actually possessed an extremely pure aura of death.

"Who are you!"

Zheng Tuo stared at Zhang Qi in front of him and asked this strange question.

Zhang Qi was enveloped in black energy, and the instant after Zheng Tuo asked his question, blood-red light appeared in his eyes.

"die!"

The word "death" is devoid of any emotion.

Zheng Tuo immediately realized that the person controlling Zhang Qi was definitely not an ordinary being.

of course.

Zhang Qi's actions confirmed to him one thing: there really was someone behind everything.

"Death is simple, but I want to die knowing why. Who are you? Why do you want me to die? I don't seem to know you at all!"

Zheng Tuo spoke calmly.

On the other hand, consider Zhang Qi.

"All practitioners deserve to die!"

Each word was spoken by Zhang Qi.

It gives the impression of a baby just learning to speak.

strange?
Zheng Tuo listened carefully and pondered repeatedly, but he was completely clueless.

The thing controlling Zhang Qi doesn't seem like a sentient being.

Could it be a puppet?

Could there be a guardian puppet within the third-tier White Lotus Divine Array?

The guardian puppet's duty is to kill all living beings that enter this place.

If that's the case, then it could be a bit troublesome.

He was thinking to himself, trying to communicate with the other party.

But Zhang Qi and Wang Wu no longer wanted to talk to him.

The two men, their bodies surging with black energy, immediately attacked him, intending to kill him on the spot.

brush!
The attack, primarily composed of black energy, came, but Zheng Tuo did not confront it head-on.

The black aura carried an aura of death and possessed an extremely strong corrosive effect.

Once it touches its own physical body, even its Five Elements Immortal Body will likely suffer severe damage.

brush!
He unleashed a divine light, instantly shattering the deathly aura.

After being empowered by the death energy, Zhang Qi and Wang Wu's combat power increased several times over in an instant.

now.

The four celestial spirits, transformed from the four immortal swords, were no match for the two.

In the clash between the two sides, the Four Celestial Spirits were overwhelmed and eventually disintegrated, transforming into the Immortal Sword itself.

Such a powerful aura of death!
In Zheng Tuo's perception, the death energy was of high quality and very pure, but its level was not very high.

Thinking about this...

With a thought, he empowered the four immortal swords with the power of the Dao patterns of the Four Heavenly Spirits.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—the Four Symbols of Heaven—instantly became even more substantial, as if four true great gods had descended.

In this confrontation, Zhang Qi and Wang Wu no longer held the upper hand.

The death energy was indeed powerful, but what they were facing was not an ordinary Dao pattern.

Those are the Azure Dragon Dao Pattern, the Vermilion Bird Dao Pattern, the White Tiger Dao Pattern, and the Black Tortoise Dao Pattern.

Zheng Tuo used the power of individual Dao patterns to activate the four immortal swords. The four celestial spirits that they transformed into at this moment were almost indistinguishable from the original forms of the four celestial spirits.

It's entirely conceivable.

The Azure Dragon God, the White Tiger God, the Vermilion Bird God, and the Black Tortoise God, four great gods, descended at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm and besieged Zhang Qi and Wang Wu. The scene was incredibly brutal.

It's fair to say they were completely outmatched.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo was equally amazed by the extraordinary nature of his own methods.

Like Yao Ruxian, he had only recently broken through to the level of a Wall Breaker, and his foundation was unstable and his methods were not yet mature.

This time.

One reason he came to the Ancient Path to Immortality was to cultivate himself and develop his own fighting style.

Only by constantly fighting with others and continuously developing oneself in the process can one make progress.

At this moment.

He hadn't expected that the Four Heavenly Spirits, when used in this way, would possess such formidable combat power.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.

Apart from the physical bodies of the Four Heavenly Spirits.

He could be said to possess everything of the four celestial spirits.

Their legacy, their thoughts, their Daoist principles.

At this moment.

He replaced the physical bodies of the Four Heavenly Spirits with four immortal swords of the same origin, attracting the Dharma forms of the Four Heavenly Spirits to descend to this place and fight against Zhang Qi and Wang Wu. It can be said that the effect was very good.

Even though the death energy on Zhang Qi and Wang Wu was pure and powerful.

No matter what.

They were facing the Four Heavenly Spirits, the four most powerful beings in the primordial immortal realm.

Completely suppressed, Zhang Qi and Wang Wu kept letting out low growls.

They tried to resist, giving it their all, but to no avail.

In secret.

Ding Dafeng and Ding Xiaofeng were drenched in sweat as they watched the scene in the distance.

Both of them harbored immense hostility towards Zheng Tuo. Even...

The two sides nearly came to blows several times.

Recalling the events of that day, Ding Dafeng and Ding Xiaofeng were nearly scared to death.

"Isn't this method of killing a god a bit too exaggerated?" Ding Xiaofeng's words were full of lingering fear.

At that time, it was he who took the initiative to provoke and attempt to fight the god-slayer.

Looking back now, it's fortunate that a fight didn't break out; otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died.

"It's alright. With the combined power of you and me, even a god-slayer would be no match for us."

Although Ding Dafeng said that, he was still unsure.

Neither of them were newbies who had just entered the world of cultivation.

in contrast.

They are both seasoned veterans who have lived for thousands of years.

Seeing Zheng Tuo's methods, he already had a general idea of ​​whether he was on par with Zheng Tuo in strength.

The Four Celestial Spirits are equivalent to four beings at the level of Wall Breakers.

If they were to actually fight the Godslayer, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

"Brother, what do we do now? Godslayer can probably kill Zhang Qi and Wang Wu easily. If they are killed, you and I will probably be the next targets," Ding Xiaofeng analyzed.

"Little brother, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you and I should help Zhang Qi and Wang Wu, preferably make them both severely injured, and then you and I should take them all out."

"Now, if Zhang Qi and Wang Wu were to be killed by the Godslayer, our strength alone would be no match for him."

Ding Xiaofeng remained remarkably calm at the crucial moment.

After a brief analysis, Ding Dafeng nodded.

"Let's do it!"

The Ding brothers acted decisively, taking immediate action and joining the battle to besiege Zheng Tuo.

Swipe!

The sudden appearance of the Ding brothers caught Zheng Tu completely off guard.

He was ready to suppress Zhang Qi and Wang Wu, but now the Ding brothers have encountered a change of events.

"Gentlemen, what do you mean by this?"

Zheng Tuo was puzzled as to why the two would make a move at this moment.

“Godslayer, Zhang Qi and Wang Wu are our best friends. How can we just stand by and watch you kill them both here?”

Ding Dafeng's reasons are quite valid.

Zhang Qi and Wang Wu were familiar with the two of them, and it was they who had invited them to this place.

now.

When Zhang Qi and Wang Wu were in danger, the two of them naturally had to lend a hand.

"Foolish! Can't you two see that Zhang Qi and Wang Wu are no longer your friends? They've been controlled by someone!"

Zheng Tuo scolded the Ding brothers, calling them two scoundrels who couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Enough with the nonsense. If you want to harm either of them, we brothers will absolutely not agree."

Ding Xiaofeng took direct action, blocking the Vermilion Bird God and relieving the pressure on Zhang Qi and Wang Wu.

Seeing this, Ding Dafeng also made a move to block the White Tiger God.

In this way, the four ancient beings blocked the fierce attack of the four celestial spirits. For a time, the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo felt a surge of anger.

The Ding brothers' intervention at this time clearly indicates they had ulterior motives.

He simply couldn't believe that the two were helping each other out of friendship.

He was more inclined to believe that the two men had come to him with the intention of killing him.

Ideally, he and Wang Wu and Zhang Qi should both suffer heavy losses, only then can the two brothers reap the benefits.

"Ding brothers, listen up. I will not attack you, much less kill you. You can leave on your own after the formation here is activated. Now, stop your foolish behavior."

Zheng Tuo's attempt to persuade them to stop only made them feel that they had done the right thing.

"Godslayer, we will not believe your lies! Today, you are doomed!"

The Ding brothers did not stop; instead, they fought with all their might.

"How utterly foolish! You two think that by killing me, you can leave alive? Wrong, terribly wrong! Look closely, Zhang Qi, Wang Wu, and Niu Qianhua are all being controlled. If the person in the shadows can control those three, they can naturally control you two too. Don't you understand this simple truth?"

Zheng Tuo was disappointed in him.

The Ding brothers have wasted thousands of years of their lives.

To do something so foolish at such a crucial moment.

"Godslayer, who do you think you are? You think you can just believe whatever you say? You're too arrogant. You're destined to live a short life."

The Ding brothers completely ignored Zheng Tuo's advice and still forcefully intervened to help Zhang Qi and Wang Wu fight against Zheng Tuo.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo knew that there was no point in saying anything more. Since that was the case, then the two of you should just die first.

brush!
He took out the Immortal Whale Sword.

In an instant!
The Immortal Whale Sword transformed into the Celestial Whale of the Heavenly River, roaring as it charged toward Ding Xiaofeng.

Among those present, Ding Xiaofeng was the weakest, and Zheng Tuo wanted to kill Ding Xiaofeng first.

Faced with the attack of the Heavenly River Immortal Whale, Ding Xiaofeng was immediately attacked from both sides.

"younger brother!"

Ding Dafeng immediately stepped in to help, and the two brothers merged, resulting in a surge in their combat power.

Taking this opportunity, Ding Dafeng fought alone against the Vermilion Bird God, the White Tiger God, and the Heavenly River Immortal Whale.

The battle here was the most intense, because Zheng Tuo was determined to kill the Ding brothers.

He could tell that the Ding brothers were not being controlled by someone in the shadows, so he would kill them both.

Then, he will take action again to suppress Zhang Qi and Wang Wu, thereby finding the person behind them.

Clang!

Clang!

Ding Dafeng's combat power increased several times due to his fusion with his younger brother.

In this battle, they surprisingly held their own.

however.

Zheng Tuo was not in a hurry.

Ding Dafeng's combined attack wouldn't last long, so he simply continued to attack and suppress Ding Dafeng.

As for Zhang Qi and Wang Wu, he only needed to rely on the Azure Dragon God and the Black Tortoise God to hold them back.

"Zhang Qi, Wang Wu, what are you two waiting for? Quickly strike and kill the Godslayer!"

Ding Dafeng muttered curses under his breath, clearly displeased.

His original intention was to lend a hand, allowing Zhang Qi and Wang Wu to fight Godslayer to the death.

now.

While they were being targeted by the opponent, Zhang Qi and Wang Wu seemed to have no room for resistance and were completely suppressed by the Azure Dragon God and Black Tortoise God summoned by the opponent.

Could it be that...?
Ding Dafeng thought of something that left him feeling helpless.

That's the guy who's secretly manipulating Zhang Qi and Wang Wu; he'd rather the two brothers die than die killing a god.

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

What a troublesome bunch!
Ding Dafeng immediately realized that he and his brother seemed to have unwittingly jumped into a huge trap.

now.

The two of them were surrounded and had no way to escape.

No.

Ding Dafeng launched a strong counterattack, attempting to escape the area.

No matter what.

This place contains Zheng Tuo's Five Elements God Venerable Immortal Slaying Diagram. Even if he merges with his younger brother and his strength skyrockets, he won't be able to escape.

"It's too late to leave now."

Zheng Tuo had already decided to kill the Ding brothers here to prevent them from causing trouble again.

"Godslayer, do you think we brothers are easy to kill?"

Ding Dafeng got angry.

He knew that in such a life-or-death moment, he had to do everything in his power.

"what!"

He let out an angry roar, instantly releasing his spiritual pressure.

Countless powerful Dao patterns surged and enveloped it.

His fighting spirit increased several times over in an instant.
