From the fake emperor to the concubine

Chapter 439: All show and no substance

After the sword energy dissipated, the scene was silent.

Everyone looked at what was happening in front of them in disbelief.

Xu Wan blinked hard, trying to figure out whether what had just happened was just an illusion.

After all, he is a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He has gone through countless dangers and witnessed countless things that others dare not even think about since his practice.

But no matter what, he still couldn't believe what had just happened.

The guy who was killed was not just an ordinary master in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but also a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, who was only one step away from breaking through to the Enlightenment Stage.

Xu Wan always felt that even if this guy hadn't made a breakthrough, he wouldn't be much worse than a cultivator in the enlightenment stage.

After all, ever since I met this guy, he was already a master at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now more than a thousand years have passed, and I don’t know how deep this guy’s realm is.

But such an extremely terrifying master was actually killed instantly by this guy in front of him who was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage?

The terrifying sword energy just now even made Xu Wan feel as if he might be killed on the spot.

What kind of monster is this human being?

Even though he knew that the other party was able to launch such a powerful attack, it was more because of the power of the magic weapon.

But how could a person at the mere Jindan stage, with his current cultivation level, leap over two realms and launch an attack that only a master at the Enlightenment stage could launch?

Is it possible that this guy has other magical weapons that can kill people instantly?

Although we have a large number of people on our side now, should we fight this battle?

Or, just run away before this guy makes a move.

Although the opponent's magic weapon is powerful, after all, he is only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. If I want to escape, the opponent may not be able to stop me.

Moreover, the leader on his side was killed by the enemy, and he didn't know many details of the plan.

There's absolutely no need to do that. Staying here would just be a waste of life.

Just as Xu Wan's eyes were rolling around, thinking about whether to fight or flee.

A scream sounded.

"what!"

Xu Wan looked in the direction where the scream came from.

Under Lin Junrong's attack, a cultivator from the Nether Spirit Clan turned into starlight and dissipated in the sky and earth.

Judging from his figure before his death, isn't this another expert in the Spirit Transformation Stage on his side?

It was obvious that Lin Junrong took advantage of the moment when they were shocked by the sword energy to launch a sneak attack.

Although the guy who was killed was also in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he had just broken through not long ago and his realm was not completely stabilized.

Even in a head-on fight, he would definitely not be Lin Junrong's opponent.

Not to mention, Lin Junrong shamelessly launched a sneak attack, and the unlucky guy who was killed didn't even have a chance to react before he died.

"Despicable!" Xu Wan couldn't help but curse: "A master of the Spiritualization Stage actually launched a sneak attack. Don't you humans know what shame is?"

"Hehe!" Zheng Yi sneered: "This is strange. You, the Nether Spirit Clan, appeared in the heartland of our human race. Are you here to fight us openly?"

"I..." Xu Wan was choked with anger for a moment.

"Elder Lin, kill!" Zheng Yi's face suddenly changed and he roared murderously.

Lin Junrong held a flaming whip in his hand and charged straight towards Xu Wan.

Only then did Xu Wan realize that he had been fooled again.

He could have avoided saying that nonsense. The two sides were in a hostile relationship and it was a matter of life and death, not means.

Under the circumstances just now, he could either turn around and run, or try his best to kill Zheng Yi, and then find a way to work with others to deal with Lin Junrong.

But he was easily provoked by the person in front of him and made the most unwise choice.

Now that Lin Junrong has arrived, it may not be so easy to escape.

In an instant, Xu Wan had an idea.

He just threw out an inkstone, and after the inkstone appeared, it enlarged dozens of times out of thin air, like a small mountain, blocking Lin Junrong's attack.

At the same time, he roared: "There are only two of them, one in the Spiritualization Stage and one in the Golden Core Stage. We have an absolute advantage in numbers."

"If we kill them, we may have a chance to redeem ourselves. Otherwise, we will all die."

His words successfully boosted the morale of those Jindan-stage Nether Spirit Clan cultivators.

"Master Xu is right. Only if we kill them will we have a chance to survive."

"Yes, kill them!"

The Jindan-stage Mingling cultivators displayed their magical powers and launched a frantic attack on Zheng Yi and Lin Junrong.

"I'll stop this guy, and you go and kill all those Jindan-stage cultivators." Zheng Yi made his choice immediately.

Lin Junrong was a little worried: "Can you really stop him?"

"I don't think we can win, but we can hold out for a while, so there will be no problem. No matter what happens, don't worry about me, just focus on killing the enemy."

Lin Junrong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

She launched a sudden and fierce attack, forcing Xu Wan to defend with all her strength.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Junrong suddenly turned around and killed those Jindan-stage cultivators.

Those who can be led by the Crocodile Spirit Clan to ambush those who may come to support Xingxiu Sea are all very powerful players.

These guys, even among the Jindan stage, are among the top ones.

Even when facing Lin Junrong, a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage, these guys did not retreat and launched an attack on Lin Junrong brazenly.

However, in the face of the absolute gap in strength, their offensive seemed so weak and ridiculous.

Lin Junrong swung the long whip, and the whip burning with flames was like a living poisonous snake. It easily pierced through the protective armor of the Nether Spirit Clan monk and rolled him up.

Just as the monk of the Nether Spirit Clan was about to resist, the flames on the whip exploded and burned him into a fireball.

The terrifying flames not only caused huge damage to their physical bodies, but also burned away their spiritual energy.

Even their spiritual energy became nutrients for the burning flames, making the flames even more fierce.

Then Lin Junrong threw the Mingling cultivator out and smashed him heavily on another person.

The moment the two sides came into contact, flames exploded, turning both of them into ashes.

At the same time, Lin Junrong bumped into a cultivator of the Nether Spirit Clan, and his other hand took out a short sword that was shining with silver light.

The moment the silver light appeared, the cultivator from the Nether Spirit Clan seemed to have his entire soul frozen.

He watched the dagger pierce into his chest without any reaction.

It was not until the dagger pierced him that the Dark Spirit monk took action.

He raised his hands desperately, as if trying to save himself, but just as he raised his hands a little bit, his body slowly dissipated and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

They had just met, and before Lin Junrong had even used any real tactics, those Jindan-stage Nether Spirit cultivators had already suffered heavy losses.

Compared to Lin Junrong's killing spree, Zheng Yi's situation was not so good.

At the beginning, Xu Wan was quite unsure when he saw that Zheng Yi dared to face him alone.

Yu Yu, a cultivator of the Mingling clan, was one of the most powerful cultivators he had ever seen.

Although he had seen masters in the Enlightenment Stage before, he had never really fought them. However, he had fought with the Crocodile Nether Spirit Clan many times.

Xu Wan could clearly feel that the Crocodile Spirit Clan did not use their full strength when sparring with him.

Even in this situation, he never won.

Even if the other party got serious, he might not be able to hold on for three breaths.

But even such a strong man was killed in one move by the guy in front of him.

How could he not be scared?
So when Zheng Yi made his move, Xu Wan didn't think about how to make the move, but tried his best to defend.

As long as he could block one of the opponent's attacks, he would immediately turn around and run.

In a flash, Zheng Yi's palm hit Xu Wan's body protection magic weapon hard.

A shadow like a wine jug blocked Zheng Yi's attack, making a loud roar.

The sound was so loud, like thunder, that it shook Xu Wan's entire body.

"It's over!"

This thought had just come to my mind when I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Zheng Yi's attack looked fierce and seemed to have infinite power.

But let alone breaking his protective magic weapon, he couldn't even make the shadow of the wine jug vibrate.

This is a real attack from a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Although this guy's strength is much stronger than that of an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

But no matter what, he was only at the peak of the Golden Core… No! He was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core.

"Damn it, I was cheated!" Xu Wan felt a boundless rage rising in his chest.

He was a master in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he was actually intimidated by a guy in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He didn't think about how to kill the other person, but only wanted to escape.

What a shame!
After practicing for thousands of years, Xu Wan had never felt as angry as he was now.

This Jindan stage ant scum is so bold.

"I'm going to kill you!" Xu Wan roared, gritting his teeth and enunciating each word.

His cultivation in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm reached its peak. With a flip of his wrist, a brush-shaped magical weapon appeared in his hand.

With a casual stroke, thick ink dyed half of the sky black and enveloped Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi's expression was solemn, but he sneered in his heart: "Want to kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the chance."

What he was afraid of now was that this guy would turn around and run away. Once he escaped, with such a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage lurking around, he might launch a sneak attack at any time, and they would definitely be exhausted trying to deal with him.

Now the other party is blinded by anger and just wants to kill him to relieve his hatred, which is exactly what Zheng Yi wants.

"Fool, you've been fooled!" Zheng Yi snorted coldly: "As if I were here in person!"

In an instant, the emperor's majesty was fully displayed, and the ink splashed by Xu Wan was washed away with holes just by the sound.

Although he looks majestic, Zheng Yi is actually not feeling well.

Although before coming here, he had tried hard to practice dual cultivation with Lin Junrong and obtained a lot of spiritual energy of the Spirit Transformation Stage from Lin Junrong.

Unfortunately, these spiritual energies do not belong to him after all.

In a battle of the same level, this spiritual energy is consumed in huge amounts.

Just one attack consumed almost one third of it.

"How is this possible?" Xu Wan was horrified.

Could it be that I was seeing things? This guy was a master in the Spiritualization Stage, and he was just disguising his realm as the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage?

With this guy's despicable means, it's not surprising that he would do such a thing.

But soon, Xu Wan denied this idea himself.

Although the other party did release the power of the Spirit Transformation Stage at that moment just now, this power definitely did not come from this kid.

Obviously, the other party must have a similar magical weapon that can be used across two realms.

These magical weapons are obviously not as powerful as the one just now, which can instantly kill a master at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

"Young man, I have already seen through your tricks. I want to see what other tricks you have. Prepare to die!"

Xu Wan once again launched a fierce attack on Zheng Yi.

Having confirmed Zheng Yi's true strength, he did not hold back at all this time.

"He's quite clever." Zheng Yi sighed secretly. The cultivator from the Mingling clan in front of him was much smarter than the other guys and was not fooled by him.

The opponent was attacking with all his strength, so Zheng Yi naturally did not dare to be negligent.

He waved his sleeves and said: "When the emperor gets angry, millions of people will die."

A bright light shone from Zheng Yi's body, and the figure of an emperor wearing a dragon robe, whose face could not be seen clearly, appeared behind Zheng Yi.

He swung the sword in his hand with unmatched power.

The attacks from both sides collided and ended up being evenly matched, with neither side being able to do anything to the other.

However, after this fight, Xu Wan was fine, but Zheng Yi's face was as pale as paper, obviously he was exhausted.

Seeing this, Xu Wan became even more certain of his guess.

The kid in front of me definitely can't be a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

"I wonder how many times you can block me. Go to hell!"

The attack came like a tide, but only one-tenth or one-twelfth of Zheng Yi's spiritual energy from the Spiritual Transformation Stage remained.

"When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die!" Zheng Yi gritted his teeth and tried his best to mobilize all the spiritual energy of the Spirit Transformation Stage to meet Xu Wan's attack.

The attacks from both sides were deadlocked for only a moment, and Zheng Yi's spiritual energy from the Spiritual Transformation Stage was already exhausted.

Even though Xu Wan's attack had been consumed by 70% to 80%, the remaining power still took half of his life when it hit Zheng Yi.

puff!
Zheng Yi flew backwards spurting blood. The violent spiritual energy rushed into his body, almost breaking his bones and meridians.

Xu Wan was overjoyed when he saw this: "I knew this guy's strength is definitely not that strong."

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Xu Wan did not give Zheng Yi any chance to breathe, and flew up to kill Zheng Yi.

This guy is becoming famous in the Palace of Pluto.

If he could kill Zheng Yi, he would definitely be highly valued by His Majesty the King Ming.

The entire Pluto Palace said that Zheng Yi was a very intelligent guy and was definitely not a simple character.

No matter how advanced he is, you must be extremely careful when facing him.

At the beginning, Xu Wan also thought so. But as the battle progressed, he found that Zheng Yi was not as terrible as the legend said.

After all, no matter how many evil schemes he has, they are useless in the face of absolute strength.

Now the opponent is already seriously injured. After being hit by my attack, all the meridians and bones in his body are probably broken, making him a disabled person.

What else can he do at this time?
This is what Xu Wan originally thought, but just when he was about to kill Zheng Yi.

But suddenly he discovered that Zheng Yi seemed to be holding an inconspicuous small flying sword in his hand.

"It's a trick!" (End of this chapter)
