Chapter 3289 Experienced veterans are all good at delaying tactics

After using the power of Emperor Gaozu to cut off Qin Shi Huang's sword, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his entanglement with Qin Shi Huang was over.

But he discovered that the emperor from a hundred years ago seemed to be haunting him, and he could be implicated if he was not careful.

The location of the Qingzhou Cauldron is also in Mount Tai, and the formation used to bury the Qingzhou Cauldron is also the Everlasting Mountain and River Formation, which is no different from the Yin-Yang Secret Land.

Zhang Xuezhou was somewhat slow to realize the situation of the Yin-Yang Secret Land. For the first time, he felt that the Everlasting Mountain and River Formation of this secret land was probably not created by the Yin-Yang School, but more likely constructed by the formation masters of the Great Qin Dynasty. Perhaps it was to place the Qingzhou Cauldron, or perhaps it was used to trap and kill Yin-Yang School cultivators, or perhaps there were other factors involved.

The Tai-level Six Talismans may have been seized by Yin-Yang School cultivators during a conflict, but they were unable to use them and ultimately passed down as heirlooms from generation to generation.

This also explains why the Tai-level Six Symbols require a special technique to activate, and why the Qingzhou Cauldron is placed in another area of ​​Mount Tai.

"If the owner of the Tai-rank Six Talismans was the Qin Emperor, who was invincible in battle during the previous dynasty, how could he... In fact, it's not surprising that the Yin-Yang School's magical abilities allowed them to steal the Tai-rank Six Talismans. Stealing the Qin Emperor's treasures simply requires being more careful and meticulous!"

After thinking things through, Zhang Xuezhou had a general idea of ​​the origins and history of this secret place.

"With one wounded fighting against a cripple, His Majesty Emperor Jing is likely to lose this contest!"

Zhang Xuezhou was happy to see the two sides fight, but he wanted to see a mutually destructive battle, not a contest like the one in the military where both sides were wiped out.

Emperor Jing's defeat had little impact on Zhang Xuezhou, but Qin Shi Huang's victory in the Yun War was definitely not a good thing.

If the opponent uses Emperor Jing to heal the wounds inflicted by Emperor Gaozu, then that sword strike would essentially be wasted.

"Unless His Majesty Emperor Jing is able to use the Crimson Sky Sword in battle!"

The Crimson Sky Sword, which he had brought from Yangling, was now hanging at Zhang Xuezhou's waist.

Zhang Xuezhou drew the soft-boned sword, only to find that the blade had no divine weapon-like qualities and did not stand up straight.

"If you hold this sword, His Majesty Emperor Jing might need it!"

Zhang Xuezhou handed the Crimson Sky Sword to Shi Wudao, who seemed somewhat uneasy, feeling a sense of impending doom churning within him.

"Who is this tyrant fighting with?" Shi Wudao asked.

“I think it might be Qin Shi Huang,” Zhang Xuezhou guessed.

"You're saying that tyrant is still alive? This thing belongs to him?"

Shi Wudao was so shocked that he jumped up and almost ran away.

For an old-boned cultivator like Shi Wudao, Qin Huang was not just a symbol of an era; he had personally experienced the era of Qin Huang and still retained the powerful concept of Qin Huang to this day.

Although Shi Wudao had stormed the imperial palace in Chang'an, if the emperor in the palace were Qin Shi Huang, even if he had three times the courage, he would only be able to find a place to live in seclusion in frustration.

"Can't you be a little more ambitious?" Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"Then you can't scare me!" Shi Wudao shouted.

"You think you're scary when you look like that!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave Shi Wudao a disdainful look, which prompted Shi Wudao to shout "appearance attack," "personal attack," and "racial attack."

Zhang Xuezhou ignored Shi Wudao's mutterings. He glanced at the Crimson Sky Sword and then at the Tai-rank Six Talisman that was shimmering slightly.

After thinking for a few seconds, he finally clenched his right hand as well.

As the technique slowly circulated, Zhang Xuezhou felt darkness appear before his eyes, and a sense of opposition to the void quickly arose.

In the dimly lit space of magic, the golden dragon that Emperor Jing had transformed into had a dull color and looked old and decrepit, but it still possessed considerable power.

On the opposite side of Emperor Jing was the afterimage of a headless black dragon, enveloped in a mass of black light.

"what happens?"

With a slight tremor, a phantom image of a dragonfish appeared.

The phantom swayed, and Zhang Xuezhou also asked a question to Emperor Jing's enormous golden dragon body.

"A mark left behind by a treasure after death!" Emperor Jing lowered his head and gave a brief reply after a simple examination.

"He is far away, and his strength in battle is limited. He wants to defeat me, but he also wants his son's remains. He needs me to return the treasure, right? Ying Zheng?"

Emperor Jing looked up at the black light, his gaze piercing into the distance.

The prolonged stalemate in the contest of skills was not without reason. Emperor Jing was able to sense the risks carried by the black light, and he could also guess the identity of his opponent and even know his thoughts.

"Your era has passed, why do you continue even after death?" The golden dragon that Emperor Jing had transformed into sighed, "No emperor can start over after things have changed. You are now in your seventies, and even if you prolong your life with elixirs, your lifespan is limited. There is no need to keep struggling!"

"Foolishness!"

The black light responded with just two words.

It was clear that this was not the first time the two sides had communicated. Emperor Jing was no longer shocked, and the voice in the black light was equally calm and unmoved by Emperor Jing's attempts to dissuade him.

"I do not wish to make enemies with you, and you should not drag me into this," Emperor Jing said. "I have only come to investigate the secret place of the Yin-Yang School and do not want conflict. Especially since we have both abdicated the throne and our bodies are difficult to heal after being injured, even if the victor is victorious, it is hard to say what we have gained or lost!"

"You know what I'm thinking, but you won't fulfill my wishes, so I can't let you go!"

The voice within the black light gave a refusal.

This kind of rejection is a bit like knowing you're going to reject me, so I reject you in advance.

If Emperor Jing does not change his mind, the other side will use tactics to delay until one side submits.

It has to be said that this was a last resort, and it was a delaying tactic that Zhang Xuezhou had always wanted to use.

This method is shameless, but also very effective.

"I only need to completely obliterate your son's remains, and you will have no choice but to back down," Emperor Jing warned. "My willingness to back down does not mean I must back down!"

"If you destroy Hu Hai's remains, you will be tainted by his curse, and I will surely be able to find your location through my ritual!"

In the shadows, the Qin Emperor's voice was calm and unhurried as he briefly explained the consequences of their choices, leaving Emperor Jing somewhat helpless.

"That's how it ends. Now it's just a matter of who can hold out longer!"

In the renewed negotiations, Emperor Jing had already presented everything again, clearly hoping that Zhang Xuezhou could intervene and help break the deadlock.

"Bring the Crimson Sky Sword and kill him!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and Emperor Jing pursed his lips.

If he could summon the Crimson Sky Sword, Emperor Jing felt he had a 60% chance of success.

However, whether it's because the demands of combat are higher or because of the new environment, he finds it difficult to wield the Crimson Sky Sword, even if he's willing to pay the price.

The Crimson Sky Sword was right beside him, but Emperor Jing couldn't use it at all.

How could he possibly get started, and how could he possibly counter Qin Shi Huang's subsequent retaliation?

Not only was the Qin Emperor frozen here, but Emperor Jing was also frozen here.

"Let me tell you, that guy over there sounds unsteady on his feet, like he's been seriously injured. We're not afraid of him!"

Zhang Xuezhou is very easygoing.

Without a vast and prosperous land, the damage to one's body would indeed be difficult to heal.

The reason Zhang Xuezhou's physical body was still intact was simply because he was the victor, and each opponent was far stronger than him. This not only allowed him to recover from his injuries after the battle, but also guided his evolution.

However, normally, if the two sides are evenly matched or win by a slight advantage, and there is a lack of continuous supply of energy to recover, the injuries from the trauma will remain.

Zhang Xuezhou knew that Qin Shi Huang had been struck by a sword from Emperor Gaozu, and that not much time had passed since then. He estimated that Qin Shi Huang's magical abilities were not in good condition.

At this point, he kept urging Emperor Jing to take the lead.
