The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed to have obtained this treasure.

He began to carefully practice the teachings left by the nameless Buddha, striving to master them as soon as possible and make them a part of his own power.

outside world.

Zheng Tuo led the group through the mist.

Soon, the sounds of battle could be heard from ahead.

After passing through the thick fog, the battle ahead was immediately visible.

That is?

Not far away, two powerful individuals were being besieged by four ancient figures.

One man wielded a Guan Dao (a type of halberd), and the other a Mo Dao (another type of halberd). These two powerful warriors fought against four ancient figures without being at a disadvantage, and even gained a firm advantage.

That is?

The Ox-Headed God and Horse-Face God of Demon Emperor Mountain.

I unexpectedly encountered these two ruthless characters here.

Both the Minotaur and the Horse-Faced God are extremely powerful, as evidenced by their ability to hold their own against four ancient beings.

seem!

Neither of them needs help?
Zheng Tuo did not make any rash moves in response; he simply watched from the sidelines.

The Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Faced God naturally noticed Zheng Tuo's presence.

"Sword Thirteen!"

The Bull-Headed God immediately recognized Zheng Tuo's identity.

"Fellow Daoists, do you need any assistance?"

Zheng Tuo spoke up, asking the two questions.

"No need. These four guys alone can't do anything to my brother and me."

The Minotaur is incredibly imposing.

He wielded a long-handled broadsword, possessing astonishing combat prowess and the courage to withstand ten thousand men.

At the same time, the horse-faced god, wielding a Guan Dao (a type of halberd), possesses equally formidable combat power.

It is clear that both are among the best in their respective fields.

Seeing that the two didn't need his help, Zheng Tuo didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

however.

He appeared to turn and leave, but in reality, he didn't go far.

He began to survey the area around the distant battle.

The purpose of such methods is very simple: to set up an array here, trap those four ancient beings, and kill them here.

The battle between the four ancient beings and the Minotaur and the Horse-faced God dragged on for a long time without a decisive victory.

In secret.

Seeing this scene, the Undying Emperor's Dao Body cursed the four good-for-nothings.

Not only could they not win a four-on-two fight against opponents of the same level, but they were also suppressed by them.

Every single one of these old fogies is utterly useless; no wonder they've lived for thousands of years and are still only at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm.

If these old fogies had any talent, they wouldn't be stuck at the first level of the Breaker realm.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved it, immediately guiding the power of the third-order divine array to descend and empower the four ancient beings.

hum!
With the power of the third-tier divine array, the four ancient beings' combat strength surged, and they easily suppressed the Minotaur God and the Horse-Faced God.

"With the divine array's blessing, aren't you four old fogies afraid of being backfired by the third-tier divine array?"

Minotaur may seem reckless, but he is actually quite clever.

He could tell at a glance how dangerous the four old fogies' actions were.

Using the power of a third-tier divine array to empower themselves can indeed help them quickly increase their strength, but it also carries enormous risks.

Once they are attacked by the backlash of the third-tier divine array, they will surely die on the spot, given their cultivation level of the first level of the Breaker Realm.

The four old fogies were well aware of the dangers involved; they simply had no other choice.

Now they are controlled by the Undying Emperor's Dao Body, and have no choice but to endure it.

The four ancient beings, their combat power greatly increased, launched a powerful attack, besieging the Minotaur and the Horse-faced God.

Seeing this, the two gods showed no mercy.

Dao patterns surged around them, revealing their formidable combat power, as they engaged in a final battle with the four ancient beings.

Outside the battle.

Zheng Tuo measured the place with his footsteps, looking leisurely and carefree, as if he had no involvement whatsoever.

He secretly set up a divine array in an attempt to capture the four ancient artifacts.

In his view, whether he captured the four ancient beings and removed the cage marks from their souls or killed them, it would weaken the power of the Undying Emperor, which was what he liked to see most.

Maintaining its own pace, step by step, it continues to move around this place.

The battle in the distance was nothing short of devastating.

The two gods fought desperately against the four ancient beings, demonstrating extremely high combat skills.

In the midst of this frenzied battle, the power of a third-tier divine array descended for the second time, empowering the physical bodies of the four ancient beings.

"what!"

The four ancient artifacts let out painful roars almost simultaneously.

As they were subjected to the power of the third-tier divine array for the second time, cracks appeared on their bodies at a visible speed.

In this regard.

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body didn't care at all.

He plans to use four ancient artifacts to suppress the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God, and then turn them into his subordinates.

The Minotaur and the Horse-faced God are quite young and have enormous potential, which is exactly the type of people their Undying Mountain needs.

Now that such a good opportunity has presented itself, it's only natural to seize the chance to bring both of them under our control.

The four ancient beings were strengthened once again, their combat power increased dramatically, and they finally suppressed the Minotaur and the Horse-faced God.

In the duel, the two gods began to be at a disadvantage and were in danger of losing at any moment.

Despite the two gods' all-out attack, the four ancient beings were empowered twice by the third-tier divine array, directly doubling their combat power.

Originally, they were both ancient beings at the same level, but their combat power was directly doubled, which truly put them at a disadvantage.

"go!"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the horse-faced god immediately called on the bull-headed god to flee the place.

brush!
The two were moving extremely fast and tried to escape, but they soon discovered that they were surrounded by mist and could not escape from the place at all.

"Oh no, this place is a maze, we're trapped here!" Horse-faced God became even calmer.

"If that's the case, then kill all four of them."

The Minotaur is incredibly imposing.

His Mo Dao was powerful and domineering, like a general who was invincible, and he tried to kill the two old antiques who were besieging him.

however.

The old antique's combat power was doubled, and in the battle between the two sides, the Minotaur was in great pain.

"A bunch of old fogies who only know how to use external forces. With your mentality, how can you ever reach the highest level?"

The Minotaur God grumbled and cursed, clearly dissatisfied with the current battle situation.

In contrast, consider the horse-faced god.

Holding his Guan Dao (a type of halberd), he continued fighting while pondering how to break the deadlock.

Surrounded by a maze, the two of them are trapped here. Only by breaking the maze or killing the four ancient beings can this predicament be resolved.

Breaking through the maze is out of the question.

They had some understanding of formations, but were not proficient in them. Moreover, this place was a third-order divine formation, a maze that neither of them could possibly break.

If that's the case, then the only option is to kill those four old fogies.

Since it's the only option, there's no need to hesitate.

Horse-faced God told Ox-headed God his thoughts.

"Exactly what I want!"

As the bull-headed god spoke, his figure flickered and transformed into a gigantic form in the blink of an eye.

His head was like a mountain, his mouth like a blood basin, and his body was so huge that it reached the heavens and the earth.

The horse-faced god's body was also filled with surging Dao patterns, transforming into a gigantic divine form.

This method is not a manifestation of celestial phenomena, but rather their innate dharma forms. Upon revealing their innate dharma forms, their combat power instantly increases several times over.

"kill!"

The Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God revealed their true forms, increasing their combat power several times over. At this moment, they made their move and fought against the four ancient beings.

The two sides fought fiercely, exchanging blows back and forth.

Even though the four ancient beings were empowered by a third-tier divine array, they were simply unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the bull-headed god and the horse-faced god.

Seeing that the four ancient beings could be killed at any moment, the Undying Emperor's Dao Body in the shadows cursed aloud.

"Useless, you four are truly useless. I have empowered you with a third-tier divine array, yet you are still no match for the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Faced God. What use are you to me?"

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body cursed and swore, but still made some moves, attempting to use the power of the third-tier divine array to continue to bless the four ancient beings.

Whether the four old fogies live or die is not important; what is important is to suppress the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God.

Especially after seeing the domineering presence of the Minotaur and the Horse-faced God, the Undying Emperor's Dao Body was extremely pleased.

Both the Minotaur and the Horse-Faced God are young, experienced in battle, and powerful. More importantly, they are exceptionally talented.

If we could bring these two under our command, they would be equivalent to eight old relics, or even more.

With that thought in mind, he made his move, determined to suppress the two gods even at the cost of sacrificing four ancient artifacts.

hum!
The power of a third-tier divine array descended once more.

"not good!"

The Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God immediately realized the danger.

Someone is secretly manipulating everything, attempting to further strengthen the four old relics.

The four ancient artifacts have already been strengthened several times, and if they are strengthened again, their combat power will likely increase further.

however.

Just as the two gods were on guard.

suddenly!

The power that was about to descend was abruptly interrupted.

"what?"

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body looked into the mist.

"Got you."

Zheng Tuo emerged from the mist and looked at the Undying Emperor's Dao Body.

"Sword Thirteen!"

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body never expected that Jian Shisan would appear at such a crucial moment and ruin his plans.

"Sword Thirteen, how did you know I was here!"

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body was always on guard against Zheng Tuo, which is why he was so surprised that the other party had actually discovered his location.

Zheng Tuo didn't waste any words with him. With the Haoran Sword in hand, its light flashing, he attacked the Undying Emperor's Dao Body.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Emperor's Dao Body turned and left.

He is currently only a Daoist incarnation and is no match for Jian Shisan.

So he turned and left, not wanting to fight Zheng Tuo.

however.

To his astonishment, he discovered that his position was being constantly locked onto, and Jian Shisan's attacks were able to pinpoint his location with pinpoint accuracy every time.

"Sword Thirteen, how did you do that!"

Using a third-order divine array to dodge, the Undying Emperor's Dao Body questioned Zheng Tuo.

This is simply unbelievable.

Despite using a third-tier divine array to dodge, the opponent managed to find his location time and time again.

Zheng Tuo remained silent, focusing solely on his attacks.

He needed to eliminate the current Undying Emperor's Dao Body as soon as possible.

He even wanted to suppress the Undying Emperor's Dao Body and then obtain more information from it.

brush!
The Undying Emperor's Dao Body used the power of the third-order divine array to move rapidly.

He didn't want to leave this place because he still needed to control four ancient artifacts to fight against the Minotaur and the Horse-faced God.

However, if you try to dodge in this area, you will be constantly caught by Jian Shisan, and then you will be met with righteous energy.

The attacks were so intense that he couldn't concentrate on controlling the four ancient artifacts in battle.

Having thought of this, he had no choice but to leave and flee, trying to distance himself from Zheng Tuo.

really.

After he left the area, Zheng Tuo stopped pursuing him.

Then.

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body returned once more, and Zheng Tuo's sword energy had already attacked the moment he appeared.

The same situation occurred again, and the Immortal Emperor finally understood.

In this vicinity, Jian Shisan must have set up some kind of method that allows it to immediately detect his location and thus attack him.

That's right.

The deduction of the Immortal Emperor's Dao Body is correct.

Zheng Tuo surveyed the area and set up a first-order divine array around it.

Using the power of a first-order divine array, it can move quickly and accurately pinpoint the location of the Undying Emperor's Dao Body, thus enabling it to pursue and kill him.

"Sword Thirteen, you're playing these tricks on me..."

brush!
The mighty sword energy struck, forcing the Undying Emperor's Dao Body to remain speechless.

Zheng Tuo fully controlled the first-order divine array, ready to strike at any moment against the Undying Emperor's Dao Body.

Simultaneously.

Without the blessing of the divine array, the four ancient beings finally faced a huge disadvantage and were even at risk of being killed at any moment.

The Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God realized what had happened.

He was amazed by the extraordinary skills of Jian Shisan Zheng Tuo, who was able to chase after and kill the Undying Emperor Dao Body in the shadows.

Although they didn't know why, they knew that this was the best time to kill the four ancient beings.

Without holding back, they launched a full-scale attack, determined to kill the four ancient relics.

The duel between the two sides was incredibly fierce.

Although the four ancient beings were being manipulated, they also wanted to live and did not want to be killed here.

So we saw the four ancient beings exert all their strength, using every trick and method they had, bringing out all the life-saving magic weapons and tricks they had ever used, to fight against the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God.

In contrast, consider the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God.

One wielded a long-handled broadsword, the other a guan dao, like two peerless gatekeepers, completely overwhelming the four ancient relics.

Although both sides are at the same level, the difference in their strength is very obvious.

The Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God were born to be chosen ones, possessing the talent and ability to break through their own limitations and reach higher realms.

Now, the two sides are locked in a fierce battle, a life-or-death struggle, which further demonstrates their formidable fighting power.

The defeat of the four ancient beings is inevitable, and unless the Undying Emperor's Dao Body intervenes, there is no possibility of changing it.

"Sword Thirteen, you've ruined my plans again."

The Undying Emperor's Dao Body let out an angry roar.

If it weren't for the appearance of Sword Thirteen, the Undying Emperor's Dao Body would probably have already suppressed the Minotaur and the Horse-Faced God.

If the two gods could be recruited to our side, they would undoubtedly become two top-tier combat forces for the Undying Mountain.

In his view, both the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God possess the potential to break through to the second or even third level of the Breaker Realm.

These two powerful figures almost allowed him to succeed.

Everything, all of this, is because of the appearance of this guy, Jian Shisan.

The Sword Sect and the Undying Mountain are indeed mortal enemies.

The Immortal Emperor hated Zheng Tuo with a vengeance.

finally.

Unable to swallow his anger, the Immortal Emperor's Dao Body directly moved the four ancient artifacts away.

Since we cannot obtain the Ox-Headed God and the Horse-Face God, we cannot sacrifice the four ancient relics.

"Sword Thirteen, you just wait! I will make you my prisoner, for all eternity, to be at my beck and call, for all eternity..." (End of Chapter)
