The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1021 Zhang Xiang
Although the clone created by the "Mysterious Heart Incarnation Seal" cannot use its own original supernatural powers, it is still a continuation of its own soul in the end, so it can still use the "supernatural powers" level techniques it has mastered.

The few supernatural sword techniques that Zhao Chen knows, when paired with a good flying sword, are not much worse than using them in his own body.

Before sending his clone to Xingqing Prefecture, Zhao Chen gave the clone the two flying swords, Crimson Dragon and Azure Dragon, for self-defense.

Therefore, although the "Yaohua Miejian Liuli" move executed by the "Azure Dragon Sword" is not dazzling, the profound meaning of the "birth and death of Yin and Yang" principle it contains is indeed real.

The so-called "Mr. Zhang" had just sensed the danger when he was stunned by the imagery of "the birth and death of the world" in the sword light. By the time he came to his senses, it was already too late to gather his protective divine power.

Thus, without a sound, Mr. Zhang's soul was completely destroyed by the sword light and turned into dust.

But soon, his soul "reborn" and returned, as if his recent disappearance was just an illusion...

However, the newly "born" soul no longer possessed a true spirit... In other words, this Mr. Zhang became just like the previous Mu Zirong, leaving only an empty shell.

"The demise of Yao Hua" refers to the process of being annihilated and reborn after being struck by the sword light, while the target itself naturally "goes to see Liuli".

Only after "Mr. Zhang's" body collapsed to the ground did Zhao Chen emerge from the "empty book illusion" and reveal his "physical form".

The reason he killed this "Mr. Zhang" without any mercy was because the other party was Zhang Xiang, one of the "Three Evil Blades" and known as "Evil Dog Blade," who was Song Wurui's disciple in the northern desert.

This person, along with his two senior brothers, followed a true disciple of the "Ten Thousand Beasts Sect" and colluded with Feng Qing to attempt to hold the "Star God's Conquest of Heaven" ceremony in Dunhuang, directly or indirectly harming many people, including Feng Wan and her aunt...

Even the little black cat was severely injured while eavesdropping on the "Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's" true teachings and conspiring with Feng Qing!

Adding to the sins committed by Song Wurui, Zhao Chen and the others had long been mortal enemies. So when Zhao Chen used the "Sky-Gazing and Earth-Measuring Divine Mirror" to discover that the "Evil Dog Blade" was behind Feng Xu's scheme, he immediately rushed over and killed the other party.

Zhang Xiang had only recently achieved supernatural powers and his soul was not yet fully perfected. His foundational supernatural powers were only at the fourth rank, so he was naturally no match for Zhao Chen.

To be honest, Zhao Chen didn't need a second sword to kill him before, let alone now.

After scanning his surroundings with his divine sense and confirming that the commotion from the sword strike had not attracted attention, Zhao Chen then transformed his newly revealed "figure" into a blank sheet of paper, truly emerging from the "shadow."

"Although the profound meaning of the 'Yaohua Extinction and Revelation of Glazed Glass' technique is quite advanced, it is extremely restrained. Those who do not directly face it cannot sense it at all. Therefore, it is more suitable for this occasion than the ultimate moves in the 'Falling Star Divine Sword Scripture' that seem to have 'full-screen special effects'..."

"However, this move is still in its infancy and has quite a few problems. For example, the sword light is not fast enough. If the enemy is not initially captivated by the imagery of 'the birth and death of the world,' it is actually very difficult to hit the target."

"In other words, it is currently only a 'first-encounter kill' type of ultimate move, and it is difficult to be effective once the enemy is prepared."

While analyzing the pros and cons of the sword moves in his mind, Zhao Chen had already arrived in front of Zhang Xiang, the "Evil Dog Blade".

Looking at this once-powerful bandit who dominated the desert and even overwhelmed the "Seven Heroes of the Southern Desert," one can't help but feel a pang of regret.

After all, the opponent hadn't yet achieved supernatural powers back then, and was one of the people that he and Fei Meng tried their best to avoid encountering. Yet, just a few months later, he had finished him off with a single sword strike... It's truly unpredictable how things turn out. Despite his感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), Zhao Chen directly placed his palm on Zhang Xiang's head, using the "Great Sun Star Chariot" supernatural power bestowed upon him by his true form to take ownership of him, and stuffed him into the "warehouse" as a "commodity."

Because his true spirit was severed, his destiny and value were completely dissipated, so Zhao Chen didn't have to pay much, using his magic power instead.

After examining the "Starry Sky Jade Book," Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction. Even disregarding Zhang Xiang, the cultivator with supernatural powers, the knowledge and memories stored in his "divine soul" were more than worth the price; this deal was a great profit.

"Although he lost many important memories because his true spirit was gone, he can still learn quite a lot..."

"Zhang Xiang, along with his senior brother 'Evil Dragon Blade' Hong Tianchou and second senior brother 'Evil Tiger Blade' Fang Yunshan, were all disciples taken in by Song Wurui many years ago. They serve as guiding lights for his return to this point in time..."

"Song Wurui made this clear when he took them as his disciples, and the three brothers have always kept this duty. After Song Wurui entered the 'historical fog,' they followed Shen Wanzhong's instructions even more."

"He was sent to Xingqing Prefecture by Shen Wanzhong this time actually to activate the 'parasite' inside Feng Qing, thereby influencing her thoughts and leading her to the southwest to work for Shen Wanzhong..."

"But by chance, Zhang Xiang discovered Feng Xu and guessed that Feng Qing planned to raise 'blood toads' to control 'moths'."

"I don't know if Zhang Xiang was arrogant or greedy, but instead of reporting the matter, he taught Feng Xu the so-called 'Blood Demon Devouring Spirit Technique'."

"But that's not some 'Blood Demon Devouring Spirit Technique,' but an evil method to speed up the hatching of 'Blood Eggs.'"

"Because Zhang Xiang also wants the 'Blood Toad,' even if it's a hastily produced, imperfect 'Blood Toad'!"
"Because his senior uncle, Shen Wanzhong, also planted some kind of demonic insect on the three of them..."

After reading this, Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, then flipped through a few more pages, but found no record of "demon insects".

Either Shen Wanzhong is bluffing, or the demonic insect was just killed by my sword and hasn't recovered with my soul yet.

The latter is more likely... After making his judgment, Zhao Chen flipped back to the previous page and continued reading:

Zhang Xiang was very interested in the ancient secret realm that Feng Xu mentioned, but he knew that his own fate was not enough to suppress the consequences of the harvest. Now that he was in Xingqing Prefecture, forcibly taking it would inevitably bring disaster.

"Therefore, he planned to use Feng Xu to obtain the treasure. After all, that kid is under the care of a real person and has a treasure on him. His destiny is actually very strong. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the 'protagonist' of the county."

"Furthermore, he wasn't afraid of Feng Xu perishing in the secret realm; in fact, he thought it would be better if Feng Xu died..."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Chen frowned at first, but quickly understood: Zhang Xiang made this decision after being influenced by some kind of demonic insect in his body, which conflicted with his desire to obtain the "Blood Toad".

Shen Wanzhong's methods are extremely vicious!

How come the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, as one of the superior sects, always produces such scum?
