Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

On Mount Wu, the winds and clouds shifted, and Zhang Shicheng, with the help of Chiyou, attempted to challenge this terrestrial immortal.

What is a terrestrial immortal? A terrestrial immortal is actually a fifth-stage fusion god, except that a terrestrial immortal has an additional understanding of the universe compared to a fifth-stage fusion god.

This realization is the difference between immortals and mortals.

Back then, during the battle at Mount Wending, Han Shantong reached the fifth level of the Fusion God realm. At that time, he was able to fight against the Living Buddha Phagpa, who was at the level of a terrestrial immortal. The Living Buddha Phagpa also shattered his own cultivation and finally defeated Han Shantong.

Zhang Shicheng is now trying to force a breakthrough by borrowing the power of Chi You, aiming for the realm of a terrestrial immortal. However, the power he borrows is not his own, so he cannot use it to break through his current limit, lacking the profound understanding of the Great Dao that a terrestrial immortal possesses.

Of course, if he really kills Chen Jiu Si and Zhu Chong Ba here today and breaks through his inner demons, he might actually gain that insight about the Human Emperor and become a terrestrial immortal.

But he didn't, so when his aura reached its peak, it suddenly stopped, as if it had been forcibly cut off.

That feeling made Zhang Shicheng blush instantly. At that moment, he stared wide-eyed and felt the ruthlessness of heaven, as if heaven had cut off his path to heaven.

However, he forcibly raised his cultivation level to the fifth level of the Fusion God Realm, and at this moment, his aura soared into the heavens and earth.

Chi You's terrifying power sent chills down everyone's spines; before the demon god, everything else paled in comparison.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng, holding the Tiger Soul Blade, roared to the sky, "Ah!"

The next moment, his aura exploded, and his anger soared to the heavens. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked around, finally fixing on Chen Jie and Zhu Chongba: "Today I will avenge the defeat I suffered in the past!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie felt as if Zhang Shicheng was possessed by something. The grudge over Zhuolu back then—what grudge over Zhuolu? Wasn't that the time when the Yellow Emperor and Shennong joined forces to defeat Chiyou?

But what does this have to do with Chen Jiu Si and Zhu Chong Ba?

Does learning a martial art really give you such a strong sense of destiny?
Chen Jie sensed something was wrong.

However, Zhang Shicheng did seem to have gone mad, with the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand gleaming with the light of lava, as if he was truly preparing to cut himself.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Chongba, saying, "Brother Chongba, if you keep hiding anything now, you'll be dead!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba forced a smile. He could directly sense the terrifying demonic flames emanating from Zhang Shicheng, and he was directly bearing the brunt of these flames. Furthermore, Chen Jie's words were somewhat ambiguous, and he had a feeling that Chen Jie seemed to know something.

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Given Zhang Shicheng's current state, we probably won't last more than a few rounds against him. If you don't reveal your trump card..."

As he spoke, Chen Jie suddenly retreated violently. The next moment, a terrifying blade of light slashed fiercely at the two of them. With Chen Jie's retreat, Zhu Chongba was now facing the blade directly.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongba also tried to retreat, but at this moment Zhang Shicheng slashed down with his sword again, instantly blocking all of Zhu Chongba's escape routes.

Zhu Chongba was shocked to see this and quickly activated the Xuanyuan Technique to counter the attack.

At that moment, he drew upon the power of the earth's veins and suddenly formed a protective shield in front of him, but the next moment, with a loud bang, he was directly cleaved away by Zhang Shicheng's sword.

A fourth-level Molten God is as vulnerable to a fifth-level Molten God as a third-level Molten God is to a fourth-level Molten God.

With a loud bang, Zhu Chongba was sent flying. The powerful recoil caused him internal injuries, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

puff~
Blood spurted out, filling the air with blood flowers, a sight that sent chills down the spine.

Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng gave Zhu Chongba no chance to catch his breath. He stepped forward and charged at Zhu Chongba. Regardless of past or present life, in Zhang Shicheng's mind, killing Zhu Chongba was more necessary than killing Chen Jie.

If we're talking about a past life, it was the battle between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor. In that battle, Chi You was utterly defeated, cut into five pieces, and suppressed in five different directions of heaven and earth, never to be reborn.

In this lifetime, the two have been fighting fiercely in Jiangnan these past few days, each wishing they could tear the other to pieces.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng sought revenge for both old and new grudges, chasing after Zhu Chongba with his Tiger Soul Blade.

Chen Jie, however, quietly disappeared and watched as Zhang Shicheng chased after Zhu Chongba, hacking at him.

Chen Jie wasn't sure if Zhu Chongba had any hidden tricks, namely the Xuanyuan Sword, but Chen Jie wanted to test him.

Chen Jie wanted to see how long Zhu Chongba could endure.

Zhu Chongba was cut down by Zhang Shicheng to the point of having nowhere to go but to escape, and could only flee in a miserable state. His appearance was truly as tragic and desolate as could be.

"Chen Jiu Si, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Zhu Chongba was getting desperate and shouted to Chen Jie. Chen Jie immediately replied, "Brother Chongba, Brother Zhang's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has entered the fifth level of the Fusion God Realm. I am no match for him."

Zhu Chongba retorted angrily, "Just because you're not one, does that mean I am? Can't you lend a hand?"

Chen Jie said, "I dare not. I'm afraid of angering Brother Zhang. If Brother Zhang chases after me and tries to kill me, Brother Chongba won't help me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba's face turned ashen, and he muttered, "Chen Jiu Si, damn it..."

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng shouted loudly: "Chen Jiu Si, you stay put and wait until I kill Zhu Chong Ba. If you surrender obediently, I will make you the King of Chu and share the world with me."

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhang!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately thanked him with a smile.

Zhu Chongba roared in anger upon hearing this, "Chen Jiu Si, are you stupid? If he kills me, you won't live either!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu Si said, "Brother Chong Ba, if you try to outsmart me, I'll have a hard time surviving. So, Brother Chong Ba, you'd better pray for yourself."

As Chen explained, he even opened his storage ring, took out a jar of wine, and slowly drank it.

Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng said, "Hehe, a wise man knows when to yield. Chen Jiu Si, you're smart."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie naturally smiled broadly and replied, "Hehe, yes, yes."

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng, wielding his Tiger Soul Blade, chased after Zhu Chongba, slashing at him. Zhu Chongba was exhausted, dodging and weaving, using all his skills, but in the face of Zhang Shicheng's absolute power, everything seemed so pale and powerless.

Zhu Chongba was able to barely parry at first, but after a few moves, he was completely overwhelmed. Chen Jie clearly had no intention of helping. Seeing Zhang Shicheng's Tiger Soul Blade coming at him, Zhu Chongba knew that if he didn't use all his resources today, it would be impossible to win.

I originally wanted to trick Chen Jie one last time, but I never expected that Chen Jie would push me to this point.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba roared, "Sword, come!"

Buzz!
With a roar, a five-foot-long sword flew over from the nearby woods in the next instant.

Its blade is inscribed on both sides. One side is engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, representing the way of heaven, while the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers, and plants, representing geography and humankind. The sword is made of bronze, forged by the combined efforts of the gods from the first mountain, and it radiates a golden light, which is the light of humanity and morality.

At this moment, with the longsword in hand, a dragon's roar resounded.

Zhu Chongba held his sword in one hand, his eyes filled with imperial dignity, and looked at Zhang Shicheng, saying, "Zhang Shicheng, today is your death day!"

Zhang Shicheng then looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Zhu Chongba's hand, his gaze sharpening as he said, "The Emperor's supreme treasure, the number one sword under heaven, the Xuanyuan Sword!"

"Hahaha, you've been hiding it well. If I hadn't forced you to this point, would you have wanted to keep hiding forever?"

Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhu Chongba and chuckled, then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, if you two had really killed me just now, how would you have dealt with him if he had pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Chen Jie glanced at Zhang Shicheng, then shrugged and said, "Then it's my turn to cry. Brother Chongba, you've really been hiding this well!"

Zhu Chongba snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Yes, no matter how well I hid it, you still found out, didn't you?"

Chen Jie shrugged and said, "It concerns our own lives, so we have to be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiu Si, now that things have come to this, are you still going to stand by and watch?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhu Chongba and then said with a wry smile, "Brother Chongba, you've wronged me. I never intended to stand idly by. It's just that Brother Zhang has a grudge against you, so that's why I did this. Please don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Yes, I didn't mean any harm. Master, if you want to hide away like this, then you can't."

As he spoke, Zhu Chongba suddenly moved, slashing at Zhang Shicheng with his Xuanyuan Sword. Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng dared not underestimate Zhu Chongba and swung his Tiger Soul Blade to meet him.

After thousands of years, the two weapons once again vie for supremacy.

With a loud bang, the entire Wu Mountain trembled precariously as the two men clashed their swords, as if the sky were about to collapse and the earth were about to cave in.

Chen Jie quickly stepped aside, thinking that he shouldn't get caught in the crossfire of the fight between the two tigers.

Zhu Chongba then took up the Xuanyuan Sword and fought Zhang Shicheng again. It was discovered that with the Xuanyuan Sword, Zhu Chongba was no longer as helpless as before, and could now fight Zhang Shicheng on equal terms.

According to Chen Jie's estimation, Zhu Chongba, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, should be able to fight Zhang Shicheng, a fifth-level Fusion God who lacks a divine weapon.

However, when Zhang Shicheng also possessed the divine weapon Tiger Soul Blade, he once again suppressed Zhu Chongba. If Zhu Chongba were allowed to continue like this...

Therefore, Zhu Chongba was destined to die in the end.

However, the function of the divine artifact is already obvious. I wonder if Yuan Sanjia has deduced the location of the Shennong Staff from this great battle. If he doesn't have the Shennong Staff, the gap between him and them will be too great.

Chen Jie was thinking when he looked at the two people who were locked in fierce combat.

Just then, Zhu Chongba suddenly changed his moves and vanished from the spot with a whoosh. He reappeared next to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was startled and looked at Zhu Chongba. Zhu Chongba then reached out and said, "After drinking for so long, shouldn't you let me try this wine?"

Chen Jie glanced at Zhu Chongba as he handed him the wine and said, "Is the trouble being shifted eastward?"

Zhu Chongba said, "Alright, that's enough. Show us your cards already. If we keep going, I'll die, and you won't be able to handle Zhang Shicheng."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhu Chongba and asked, "How did you know I had a trump card?"

Zhu Chongba looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hehe, if you didn't have any trump cards, would you dare to come to Jiangnan? You even guessed that I might have the Xuanyuan Sword, yet you still dared to come. You must have some tricks up your sleeve. Hurry up, let's join forces to take down Zhang Shicheng, otherwise, cough cough... our families will all be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie took a deep breath. Zhu Chongba was right.

Regardless of who wins between him and Zhu Chongba, they will likely take care of each other's families in the end. Ma Xiuying and her own Su Yunjin are practically sworn sisters.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie said, "We've agreed that no matter what happens in the future, our families won't be implicated. Whether we win the world or not, we must treat our beloved well. Can you keep that promise?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba looked at Chen Jie and said, "A word spoken cannot be taken back."

Chen Jie nodded slightly, and at that moment Zhang Shicheng rushed over, his Tiger Soul Blade carrying immense power, and slashed at Chen Jie.

Kill the weak one first, then kill the strong one!

He then swung his sword at Chen Jie.

Seeing this, Chen Jie clenched his fists and roared, "Immortal Blood, activate!"

boom!
The next moment, Chen Jie felt all the cells in his body being activated, and then his whole body boiled, his blood burning, and his divine blood activated.

Back then, Chen Jie discovered three drops of immortal blood in the Immortal Cave in the South China Sea. He used one drop when fighting the dragon, and later used another drop when killing Bolotemur.

This last drop of blood will be used today.

Chen Jie unleashed the Divine Blood. At this point, his own power had reached the fourth level of the Fusion God realm, so he could basically unleash more than 90% of the power of the Divine Blood. In the past, when Chen Jie used the Divine Blood, most of it was wasted, but this time, very little was wasted.

This also gave Chen Jie the power to truly fight these two.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng slashed at Chen Jie with his sword, and Chen Jie's divine blood directly pushed his power to the fifth level of the Melting God realm.

He has now reached the fifth level of the Fusion God realm, and his cultivation technique is the Human Emperor's Three Divine Techniques. However, he does not possess the divine artifact, the Shennong Staff. His strength should be roughly equal to Zhu Chongba's, but slightly inferior to Zhang Shicheng's.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng attacked, but Chen Jie did not immediately activate the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique. Instead, he directly used the Qiankun Great Technique.

The technique created by Han Shantong, the Immovable King, is best suited for using softness to overcome hardness and avoiding direct confrontation.

At that moment, Chen Jie suddenly unleashed a palm strike: [Great Shift of Heaven and Earth]

Caught off guard, Zhang Shicheng's slash was immediately redirected to another position by Chen Jie, who then thrust the blade directly at Zhu Chongba. Zhu Chongba was startled and quickly used his Xuanyuan Sword to block Zhang Shicheng's attack.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie roared angrily and immediately unleashed the Autumn Word Technique, the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Fist!

Chen Jie threw a punch at Zhang Shicheng. Seeing Chen Jie coming at him, Zhu Chongba, who also had a sense of the bigger picture, knew that he could not afford to mess things up at this time. So he shouted angrily, "Since that's the case, then watch me, Xuanyuan Slayer!"

The two men attacked Zhang Shicheng directly, who roared, "Today you will all die!"

Tiger Soul Slash!
With a roar, Zhang Shicheng unleashed his strongest fighting power. In an instant, the entire Wu Mountain gradually collapsed under the combined attack of the three. Everyone present was greatly shocked; was this the ultimate battle between human emperors? (End of Chapter)
