From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 112: Killing King Zuo Wu, the Five Weapons Combined (-word chapter)
In fact, Zhao Lie had already made a lot of preparations for today's palace coup, contacting Wanren Di and calling for the King of Heaven was one of them.

The hidden move of ambushing Lin Lingsu was one of them.

And it is the most deadly and fiercest one among them.

Except for Zhao Lie, almost no one knew that this evil Taoist priest who was accustomed to false words and flattery actually had such superb martial arts.

Lin Lingsu, like Zhao Lie, is a practical person, so he is willing to hide his shortcomings and choose to cooperate with Zhao Lie.

Because Lin Lingsu knew deeply that the foolish and incompetent Emperor Zhao Ji was nothing more than a plaything in the hands of Cai Jing and Zhuge.

As the "Golden Gate Feathered Guest" who relied on pretending to be mysterious in exchange for the emperor's trust, he was caught between these two people. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would never be able to stand out, let alone compete with the Tai Shi Mansion and Zizai Sect.

Therefore, Lin Lingsu simply hid his unique martial arts, and only showed a level that was not much different from that of "Master Black Light", but slightly inferior, so that Zhuge Liang, Cai Jing and others would pay attention to him, but not too much.

This can be said to be a more sophisticated disguise than that of Cai Jing and Zhao Lie, because the more secretive these two people are, the more unfathomable they seem, and thus people will be extremely wary of them.

Lin Lingsu’s “reveal” is just the right amount of “reveal”.

He was so revealing that everyone thought they knew him.

In secret, Lin Lingsu cooperated with the Tang Sect headed by Zhao Lie, and worked hard to cultivate and manage the power of his "Tongzhen Daling Xuanmiao Tianfu" in the martial arts world.

Moreover, he is more profound and more unscrupulous than Zhao Lie.

At least Zhao Lie was willing to choose the light. He wanted to stand under the sun, grasp the power of the world with an upright attitude, and accept the admiration and worship of everyone.

Lin Lingsu is different.

He does not need to be looked up to or worshipped. He just needs others to understand him, or to make others think that they understand him.

Only in this way can Lin Lingsu display his Taoist magic.

Or maybe it's an illusion.

It can also be called a scam.

Previously, Lin Lingsu relied on his "Yellow Springs Escape Method" to transform his physical body into a spiritual body and merge it with the wall. Even his mind, soul, and telekinesis were diffused between heaven and earth, and he truly became a motionless rock.

It was not until Zhao Lie used the power of the "Dragon Head Cane" to circulate the spiritual power of heaven and earth that Lin Lingsu woke up from this state. He then combined true and false Taoist magic, illusion, and deception with his sword skills and launched a fatal attack that was unpredictable and unstoppable.

As soon as the sword came out, the bright day seemed to instantly turn into stormy, rainy, thundering and lightning. Combined with the explosive force exploding from the sword, the illusion became more and more real, making it difficult to recognize.

This combination of the real and the imaginary, a seamless attack, is truly the pinnacle of Lin Lingsu's life.

He was sure that even if Cai Jing was resurrected, Zhuge Zhengwo was in front of him, or even Zhao Lie was in front of him, they would not be able to block this sword.

--absolute.

Being able to use his favorite assassination method to kill Xu Xing, a powerful man at the pinnacle of martial arts, was the ultimate enjoyment Lin Lingsu had never experienced before.

At this moment, his face was distorted by excitement. He no longer looked like a sage. Instead, he looked like a demon from the depths of hell.

In addition to Lin Lingsu's "Seven Killings" sword moves, there is also Zhao Lie's "Tianmen Divine Art" palm power with the help of the "Nine Dragon Regent's Staff", as well as his own "Five Steps to Seize Huashan" with a stick.

With these three killer moves combined, even with Xu Xing's physique, if he was hit head-on, he would definitely be either dead or injured.

But both Zhao Lie and Lin Lingsu missed two points.

First, Xu Xing is sensitive to the environment.

In fact, for the warriors in this world, especially the top warriors, the impact of environmental factors in battle is minimal.

After all, they already have the initial ability to change the geographical environment. Neither mountains, rocks, trees nor palace walls can stop the way of such masters, let alone be called obstacles.

Zhao Lie also analyzed from Xu Xing's few attacks that he was a strong man who was extremely good at frontal attacks and always defeated the enemies with unstoppable spirit and overwhelming strength.

Since this person has such a grand vision, he cannot help but pay attention to the details.

His change of tactics and Lin Lingsu's ambush were all based on this subtle psychological factor.

What's more, before making his move, Zhao Lie felt that he had put enough pressure on Xu Xing, making it difficult for him to be distracted and he could only concentrate on the fierce attack and defense in front of him.

But Zhao Lie didn't know that Xu Xing was a boxer who came from the world of the Ming Dynasty, leaving bloody marks with every step. Using environmental factors to defeat the enemy was an instinct ingrained in him.

Even without using his keen spiritual perception, Xu Xing could sense from Zhao Lie's actions his strategic intention of forcing him towards the palace wall.

What's more, ever since he understood the nature of spiritual power and condensed the "Muni Zhu", Xu Xing's sensitivity to the spiritual power of heaven and earth is beyond the reach of Zhao Lie and others.

Lin Lingsu thought his disguise was perfect, but in Xu Xing's eyes, it was full of loopholes. After all, with Lin Lingsu's martial arts skills, it was wishful thinking to want to completely merge with spiritual power.

Apart from the advance perception, Zhao and Lin also missed one thing, which is Xu Xing's speed of change.

Zhao Lie's five magic weapons can be made of any size and gathered and dispersed at will, first of all because the magic weapons are made of extraordinary materials, and they are also the result of his lifelong martial arts achievements. It can be said that they are cultivated with his life and soul.

He was also confident that no one else in the world could do the same thing.

But Xu Xing's indestructible physique could not be described as "flesh and blood". In this world, after being recast several times, its strength was further improved. Even compared with the texture of a real divine weapon, it was still better.

His "true form" was the same as Zhao Lie's, which he built bit by bit from scratch. In terms of control over his body, he was even better.

At that moment, Xu Xing first judged that although the three attacks seemed to be launched at the same time, there was a sequence. The first attack was the "Tianmen Palm Force" with the longest distance and the greatest power.

Therefore, he cancelled the "Mountain Moving True Form" and curled up his body into a ball, which not only minimized the area affected by the attack, but also avoided Lin Lingsu's sword that was determined to hit him.

Zhao Lie intended to kill Xu Xing with this palm strike, without any reservation.

His internal strength is more than a hundred times stronger than Fu Zongshu's, and with the help of the "Dragon Head Cane" and the blessing of several levels of "Heavenly Gate", his power is so fierce that it is simply unimaginable.

Even with Xu Xing's physique and having only suffered less than half of the palm force, his body still shook, his internal organs were in turmoil, and scarlet blood splattered from the corners of his mouth.

Lin Lingsu didn't expect that the giant in front of her could perform such exquisite changes.

When masters fight, they often defeat the enemy or suffer defeat and death just by changing a move.

Therefore, the strong men in this world often have to polish their own moves to the point of perfection before they can use them in actual combat.

But even so, it doesn't mean they don't have flaws.

It just means that they can circumvent and avoid such flaws, or use various means to make sure that even if the enemy can see the flaws, they won't be able to catch them.

But Lin Lingsu could feel that Xu Xing's transformation this time was truly flawless, just like a seed sprouting and growing, or like a child growing up, it was a natural law.

However, Xu Xing completely reversed this process, but even if it was a reversal, it made people feel a kind of weird rationality.

Although Lin Lingsu knew that this was only because of her limited vision and she could not see the rules, she still couldn't help but have an extremely absurd idea in her mind:
——Could it be that this person can really reverse time?

What surprised Lin Lingsu even more was that after Xu Xing took such a powerful blow, not only did he not die, he didn't even seem to be seriously injured.

——What on earth is this?
Lin Lingsu's sword was launched with all her strength, leaving no room for retreat. Now that Xu Xing had displayed such extraordinary skills and his body had undergone such great changes, the "Pojun Divine Sword" was bound to fail.

--not good!
Just as mentioned just now, life and death, victory or defeat is often decided in a single transition. Lin Lingsu knew that since she couldn't grasp the opportunity just now, she would be in danger next!
No matter how confident he was, he didn't think he could survive a single blow from this powerful man who moved as fast as a god.

Therefore, Lin Lingsu let go of the magic sword on the spot without caring about the recoil of his internal force, flew backwards, and prepared to use the "Yellow Spring Escape Technique" again to escape.

Lin Lingsu's reaction was quick, his on-the-spot judgment was accurate, and his choice was decisive.

However, in front of Xu Xing, such speed and decisiveness were meaningless.

Lin Lingsu could not see any flaws in him, but in Xu Xing's eyes, Lin Lingsu was full of flaws!
He simply ignored the "Pojun Divine Sword" that flew out of his hand, but maintained this "meat ball" state, spinning in the air, and rushing forward, like a flying divine peak, crashing into Lin Lingsu's chest.

This collision was caused not only by Xu Xing's own strength, but also by some of the remaining strength of the "Tianmen Palm Force"!

In fact, Xu Xing could have completely avoided Zhao Lie's palm power just now, but he knew very well that fighting requires choices and exchanges, and it would be difficult to achieve real victory if he only tried to preserve himself.

——What's more, he is facing Zhao Lie, the strongest person in the martial arts world ever seen?
Therefore, Xu Xing had already prepared to pay a price before the battle. He would never miss even the slightest opportunity, even if it meant incurring injuries.

Therefore, Xu Xing chose to use this method to bear part of Zhao Lie's palm power, and use this power to strengthen his subsequent offensive in order to achieve a sure kill result.

Adding the two together, Xu Xing's speed has reached an indescribable level.

Just as Lin Lingsu was thinking of using the escape technique, he knocked her into his arms, breaking all her bones and tendons, and she was dead beyond death.

To unleash the extremely powerful palm strike just now, even Zhao Lie needed some time to recover his breath before he could perform the ultimate spear technique like "Five Steps to Seize Mount Hua".

At this time, Xu Xing rolled again and landed behind Lin Lingsu. As soon as he arrived, Zhao Lie's Panlong stick pierced through the air and arrived at the center of the battlefield.

Xu Xing did not take action himself, but instead shook his body and used pure physical strength to pull Lin Lingsu's body to perform swordsmanship.

This is exactly the "puppetry technique" that Xu Xing had seen Tsukahara Bokuden perform in the world of the Ming Dynasty, also known as "resurrection from the dead."

Tsukahara Bokuden used this method to control Kamiizumi Nobunaga and launch a surprise attack on Xu Xing.

Now, when Xu Xing used this method himself, it became even more mysterious and strange. He not only controlled the changes of Lin Lingsu's limbs, but also used his own spiritual power to mobilize all the remaining internal strength in this corpse.

This led to the scene that Zhao Lie just saw.

This series of changes happened in a flash, and several kinds of internal forces and divine will stimulated each other, making it difficult for Zhao Lie to use his spiritual perception. By the time he realized that he had hit the side car by mistake, it was too late to change his tactics.

Xu Xing seized this opportunity, rushed out from Lin Lingsu's body, expanded his body again, and performed the exquisite "Tianyu Mingwang Claw", cut off his wrist, and took the "Panlong Stick" in his hand.

In the life-and-death confrontation, it was Xu Xing who, with his endless strange tricks and perfect response, took the lead and gained the advantage. He not only killed Lin Lingsu, but also snatched the Panlong Stick from Zhao Lie.

After Zhao Lie retreated about ten feet, he looked at the Panlong stick in Xu Xing's hand with a raised brow. Compared with the physical injuries, the complete failure of the strategy made him depressed and even had a lot of distracting thoughts.

Just now was the first time that Xu Xing was forced into a dangerous and helpless situation since he entered this world, and now was also the first time that Zhao Lie suffered such a major setback since his debut.

Zhao Lie knew that it was not only because of the failure, but also because part of his martial arts achievements were in Xu Xing's hands that made his mood so unstable.

He took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and let out a long shout!
This time, there was no fluctuation in Zhao Lie's eyes, and he drank away all his distracting thoughts.

Only the purest and most persistent persistence remains.

——If you want to emulate Taizu, start from today!

Xu Xing held the struggling Panlong Stick in one hand, while looking at Zhao Lie with an interested expression.

Having just escaped death, Xu Xing's spirit became more focused and condensed than ever before. He also became more acute, and even the invisible fluctuations of spiritual power were so clear and distinct.

He could even feel every subtle change in Zhao Lie's mood.

Just now, Zhao Lie was like a drowning person struggling in a rapids. If he wanted to save his life, he had to give up struggling, sink to the bottom first, and then use the force to float up.

If you want to hold on to something, give it up completely!

Xu Xing had never met a person like Zhao Lie before.

In the world of the Ming Dynasty, he faced several great masters. No matter what means they used, what they sought in the end was nothing more than to become a human immortal. They were all full of the free and open-minded magnanimity of those who transcended and sought the truth.

In order to verify the illusory path to becoming an immortal, they would burn down everything, even the vast territories and imperial ambitions.

When faced with a battle, the Grandmasters will devote themselves to it wholeheartedly and feel pleasure and joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Because in their view, every life-and-death battle with a person of the same level is a rare martial arts resource and an opportunity for a breakthrough.

But Zhao Lie is different.

Xu Xing couldn't even sense the slightest pursuit of martial arts from him. The only thing he could detect was the burning and thriving ambition and desire.

It was difficult for Zhao Lie to feel happy when facing a strong enemy.

The only thing that makes him feel happy is winning.

Such a person would never pursue immortality or create a new world in martial arts.

Because in Zhao Lie's opinion, those were all meaningless.

All Zhao Lie wanted in his life was to achieve great things and leave his name in history. He knew that he would have to die, so he just wanted to die slowly and live a more enjoyable and meaningful life than anyone else.

What he wanted to do most was to be a great leader who could rule the country with great talent and strategy, rather than to be a master who pursued the way of martial arts and would not regret even if he died nine times.

According to the martial arts theory of the Ming Dynasty, a person like Zhao Lie, who has strong five elements and seven emotions, is not pious to martial arts, and lacks self-awareness, will never be able to reach the realm of "utmost sincerity", let alone "utmost emptiness" or higher achievements as a human immortal.

But in this world, Zhao Lie, an ambitious man who purely regards martial arts as a means to fight for power and profit, can integrate his own temperament into martial arts and achieve unparalleled cultivation in a different way.

The art of martial arts is indeed profound and very interesting.

Looking at Zhao Lie, Xu Xing showed emotion in his eyes.

Not only Xu Xing could feel Zhao Lie's mood, Zhao Lie could also capture every fluctuation on Xu Xing's face.

Although I don’t know what Xu Xing is thinking, there is no doubt that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Zhao Lie seized the opportunity and mobilized his internal energy, turning the golden mace and purple gold hammer into two streams of light that crossed the sky and fell towards Xu Xing's head.

He himself was holding a "dragon head crutch" and first blasted out seven "Tianmen Palm Forces" in succession from a distance of ten feet. The power was not yet accumulated to the limit, but was still majestic and extremely sharp. Then he rushed closer and attacked Xu Xing.

After using his strong obsession to drive away all his chaotic emotions, Zhao Lie calmed down and found that although Xu Xing had won a complete victory in the previous confrontation, he did not win by much.

——It even left a loophole that he could exploit.

First of all, this person was hit by his own Tianmen Palm Power and was obviously injured. Moreover, although there was Lin Lingsu's body in between, the shot of "Five Steps to Seize Huashan" also injured him.

On the contrary, although his right arm was broken, given his fighting style, the impact of this injury on his combat power was minimal.

Moreover, in Zhao Lie's view, Xu Xing's attempt to seize the weapon was also a complete failure. How could the magic weapon he personally refined be so easily controlled by the enemy?
Facing the siege of the two divine weapons again, Xu Xing grinned, revealing eight white and round teeth. He laughed very happily, twisted and swung his arms, rolled the stick, and his whole body was covered with brilliant golden light.

Xu Xing followed the stick, and within a radius of five or six feet, the shadow of the stick moved, like a long dragon cast in gold, leaping and tumbling, crisscrossing the world, and the sound of the collision, as thick as a bell, was endless.

Unexpectedly, even though Zhao Lie used these two magical weapons to perfection, they couldn't get close to him at all!
Seven "Tianmen Palm Forces" attacked from the sky, but it was difficult to capture Xu Xing's figure. He avoided four of them and deflected the other three with his long stick.

This Panlong stick, which contained infinite power and was filled with the murderous aura of a military formation, became nothing more than a sturdy and easy-to-use stick in Xu Xing's hands.

However, even so, it was enough to satisfy Xu Xing.

In fact, in the world of the Ming Dynasty, he started out with the art of spear and stick. Before he became a master, he also used spear and stick when slaughtering the Tartars outside the Great Wall.

However, after becoming a grandmaster, Xu Xing found it difficult to find a stick that could fully unleash his strength, so he often fought against the enemies with his bare hands.

After coming to this world and improving his strength and physique, Xu Xing had higher requirements for weapons, and naturally he couldn't find a suitable gun or stick.

Now that he had accidentally seized this extremely tough Panlong stick, Xu Xing was overjoyed.

Although the time span was not long, the last time he used a stick to repel the enemy did not just seem like a lifetime ago, but was truly a lifetime ago. In addition to his joy, there was also a sense of nostalgia.

——Although it's a bit noisy, this is fun! Thinking of this, Xu Xing's smile became a little more sinister, and his five fingers suddenly exerted force to hold the struggling stick tighter.

He twisted his right wrist and the head of the stick spun rapidly, as if it had transformed into a majestic dragon formed by a hurricane. Before the whistling sound of wind and thunder could be heard, it had already collided head-on with the dragon-headed stick in Zhao Lie's hand!
The base of Zhao Lie's right hand was about to split, the blood in his body was churning, and his whole body was shocked into the air, with no defense left at all.

If it were any other master, after this move, Xu Xing would definitely seize the opportunity and gain the upper hand, and he would be defeated and killed in just two or three blows.

But in Zhao Lie's martial arts system, the so-called martial arts stance is simply meaningless. As soon as he was knocked away, the purple gold hammer and the golden mace flew over, attacking Xu Xing from the front and back.

Moreover, even though he repelled Zhao Lie, Xu Xing was not in a much better condition. His right arm suddenly trembled, and a shallow bloody wound appeared at the base of his palm. A little burning red blood could be seen oozing from the socket of his right shoulder.

Although Xu Xing had just used Lin Lingsu's body as a cover, the physical strength of this "Golden Gate Feathered Guest" was too weak, and he himself was hit in the shoulder by the residual force of Zhao Lie's "Five Steps to Seize Huashan" spear, and was injured.

It was this injury that prevented him from fully completing the attack with his stick. Seeing the purple gold hammer and golden mace coming at him, Xu Xing had no energy left to pursue them. He twisted his arms and swung his long stick into an arc, first knocking the purple gold hammer away and then knocking down the golden mace.

But at this moment, a long whip shot out from under Xu Xing's feet and wrapped around his ankles.

Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and stomped his right foot suddenly, without causing any drastic impact on the surrounding ground. With a sharp sound of piercing through the air, an extremely dark circular hole suddenly appeared under his feet, with no bottom in sight.

The body of the King Whip was also stepped into the deep ground and turned into spiritual power. It took a long time before it condensed into shape again.

This time, Zhao Lie finally confirmed that the person in front of him was a powerful enemy who could not be attacked by surprise.

However, up to this point in the battle, Zhao Lie no longer had the anger and murderous intent he had just felt in the Golden Palace. Instead, he was filled with an unprecedented desire to win.

Because no matter how despicable the means were, Zhao Lie still had some heroic spirit in his heart that wanted to compete with Taizu.

——Which of the founding emperors of all dynasties did not overcome endless difficulties and obstacles and fight their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
Since Zhao Lie wanted to rebuild the country, revive the Song Dynasty, leave his name in history, and even make the Song Dynasty last for thousands of years, how could he not have an opponent who was important enough and worthy of him?
In Zhao Lie's view, foreign tribes such as Xixia, Liao, and Jin were nothing but fish on the chopping board, and people like Cai Jing and Zhao Ji were cowardly rats.
Looking across the world, in terms of strength and influence, only Zhuge Zhengwo is worthy of being his opponent.

But when Zhao Lie truly mastered the five magical weapons, he discovered that this Zhuge Xiaohua was not as unfathomable as he had thought.

Faced with this result that he had worked hard for many years to achieve, although Zhao Lie was 99% happy, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

It's just because all this went too smoothly.

But who could have imagined that the one who was truly worthy of being his opponent was actually this unexpected and rising leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, who seemed to have jumped out of the earth or fallen from the sky?
Ever since Zhao Lie discovered the "Dragon Head Cane", he had a vague sense of destiny in his heart. After he collected all five magical weapons, this feeling became even stronger.

That's why he felt extremely angry about Xu Xing's offense and was also shaken by Xu Xing's words.

However, Zhao Lie is now certain that this person is the last disaster sent by God to test him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lie actually began to look at Xu Xing with more favor.

Because in his eyes, this bold madman and traitor has transcended his status as a commoner and has become a symbol and representative of destiny.

As long as I defeat him, no matter what my methods or temperament are, I, Zhao Lie, will be the undisputed true dragon emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhao Lie waved the dragon-headed cane in his hand more eagerly, and his eyes became more excited.

Xu Xing only felt that the resistance coming from the stick was several times stronger than before. Zhao Lie also seized the opportunity, and the offensive of the four divine weapons became more and more fierce, forcing him to retreat.

In fact, this kind of fighting style, which can be used at both long and short distances and can be switched at will, is a great restraint against a strong man like Xu Xing who is accustomed to using physical strength.

Therefore, Xu Xing had taken the risk just now and traded his injuries for victory, because he was unwilling to give Zhao Lie the opportunity to take his time and use his advantage in attack range to consume his physical strength.

However, Zhao Lie was too calm.

Even though Xu Xing achieved substantial results with his extraordinary adaptability, Zhao Lie did not panic. With the help of his four remaining magic weapons, he not only stabilized the situation, but also used an offensive that could be described as a dragnet to regain the upper hand.

——This is also where Xu Xing miscalculated.

He originally thought that these five magic weapons were the essence of Zhao Lie's lifelong martial arts. Once one of them was lost, it would definitely affect the coordination of the other four magic weapons, causing flaws in Zhao Lie's offensive.

But Xu Xing did not expect that Zhao Lie had already made similar plans and had corresponding means to deal with them.

Although he lost one magic weapon, Zhao Lie was able to control the other four magic weapons more fiercely and flexibly. In terms of pure attack frequency, it was only slightly inferior to when he had all five weapons, and there were still no mistakes in the coordination.

As a result, Xu Xing, who needed to suppress the Panlong Stick all the time and had two injuries on his body, found it increasingly difficult to defend himself. The situation was even more dangerous than when the fierce battle began.

The fight between the two men became more and more fierce, their figures intertwined into a ball, their internal strength surged, and air currents soared. By the time the entire palace wall behind them was destroyed, they had fought dozens of feet away and crashed into a royal garden.

Due to the advanced martial arts in this world, this palace appears exceptionally grand and huge.

Even in this single garden, there are rugged rocks and shady green trees. In the middle there is a round pool, or Bi Bo Lake, which was dug out by humans and covers an area of ​​more than 70 or 80 feet.

However, the trees and strange rocks in this quiet garden were shaken by the huge noise coming from afar, as if they were experiencing an earthquake, and ripples continued to appear on the lake.

When the sun shines, the scenery is golden and sparkling, which is truly a beautiful sight.

But soon, this beautiful scene was broken. A figure came from the sky like a meteorite, falling into the lake and causing huge waves.

In the white fog, two streams of light were seen shooting through the air and rushing into the lake, as if they had transformed into two dragons that were turning the rivers and seas upside down and stirring up waves, trying to completely strangle the person who had just fallen into the lake.

At the end of the garden, Zhao Lie walked towards them with a dragon-headed cane in his hand, strode like a dragon and a tiger, exuding immense confidence and domineering aura, truly possessing the bearing of a supreme ruler.

Obviously, he had vented all his frustration and depression in the battle just now.

For Zhao Lie, fighting itself is certainly not a pleasure, it can even be said to be a trouble, but being able to defeat an opponent like Xu Xing is another matter.

He looked down at the bottom of the lake, looked down with a proud look, and laughed proudly:

"Xu Tafa, it seems that you can't stand in my way after all. I am the one who is destined to be mine!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lie frowned suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.

Although he had just spoken, he was also distractedly controlling the purple gold hammer and golden mace, trying not to give Xu Xing any chance to breathe.

Zhao Lie could also feel that in the time it took to say that sentence, the Panlong Stick had already collided with the two magical weapons for a full seventy-three times.

During these seventy-three clashes, the opponent's strength was obviously getting weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that he could no longer sustain it.

But after the seventy-fourth collision, something changed.

——Or rather, it’s broken!

The moment Zhao Lie realized this, a purple figure, accompanied by a huge wave, rose from the bottom of the lake and rushed towards him!

Two wings of bright light appeared behind him, and a black and red vertical pupil appeared between his eyebrows. He suddenly raised the long stick in his hand and struck Zhao Lie on the head with an extremely brutal and domineering aura.

In the battle just now, the Panlong Stick in Xu Xing's hands could be said to be a wild horse that needed to be tamed. Although it could help in the offensive, it was ultimately difficult to control.

No matter how strong Xu Xing is, his stick technique would be difficult to perform smoothly with a stick like this, and there would be a subtle disharmony.

For Zhao Lie, the original owner of the Panlong Stick, this slight discord was a big enough flaw, so he could take this opportunity to suppress Xu Xing.

But Zhao Lie also couldn't figure out one thing.

Why would this person rather endure this discord than give up the Panlong Stick?

Now, the answer finally appeared before him.

——What was broken was not other things, but the close connection between him and the Panlong Stick!

——Xu Xing wanted to use the power of those magical weapons to completely break up the condensed martial arts will in the Panlong Stick during the fight, and then reorganize it with his own mind!

Zhao Lie could never have imagined that he would have the leisure to do such a thing during a life-and-death battle.

——How can there be such a bold and daring person in this world?

But no matter what, Xu Xing won the bet!
This was exactly the strategy Xu Xing re-formulated after he learned that Zhao Lie had already made a plan in case of losing his weapons.

In the battle just now, Xu Xing had roughly calculated that the precision with which Zhao Lie controlled the five magical weapons was inversely proportional to the number of magical weapons he controlled at the same time.

This is why, every time he attacks, he basically controls the two magic weapons to attack. After these two weapons are defeated, he orders the remaining magic weapons to fill the gaps and launch attacks in turns.

Moreover, this kind of manipulation is extremely susceptible to interference from spiritual power and other things.

Otherwise, when Xu Xing just killed Lin Lingsu, with Zhao Lie's cautious nature, he should have controlled the purple gold hammer and golden mace to explore the way first, but he didn't.

So, Xu Xing formulated this strategy.

He first used the Panlong Stick to repeatedly strike against Zhao Lie's other four magical weapons, using the power from the same source to shake the martial arts will within them, then he aimed at the lake and dived into it.

This time, since there was no strong energy wall created by the Tianmen Palm Force, Zhao Lie had to order the magic weapons to open the way first. But even so, under water, the two magic weapons were not as agile as on land.

Although there was only a slight difference, Xu Xing could still recognize it.

Through this, Xu Xing roughly figured out the limit of Zhao Lie's accuracy in manipulating weapons.

He used the Panlong Stick to strike it seventy-three times again. After seventy-three times, the divine will hidden in the Panlong Stick was indeed shaken.

It was at this moment that he opened the "Muni Zhu", and the mental power that had been hidden for a long time surged out, completely defeating this will.

It was at the moment when the Panlong Stick was completely taken away that Zhao Lie felt dazed. Xu Xing also seized the opportunity at this moment, soaring into the sky from the bottom of the lake, and hit him with the wind and thunder stick that he had been accumulating for a long time!
After revealing his "true form of Hun Tian", Xu Xing's figure flashed and he appeared in front of Zhao Lie from mid-air.

Although the size of "Hun Tian Zhen Xing" is not as huge as "Yishan Zhen Xing", it is still incomparable to ordinary people. The blue and black long stick in his hand also grows bigger and becomes as thick as a pillar.

——This is the symbol that Xu Xing has completely mastered the Panlong Stick!
The Panlong stick stirred up a sharp and bloody wind and aroused loud blue thunder, as if the Tianzhu Peak was pushed down by a giant spirit and collapsed.

This stick not only contained the vicious aura of "Hun Tian Zhen Xing", but also the brutal murderous intent of "Muni Zhu".

When the two factors combined, even Zhao Lie felt that this was a natural disaster and that he could not resist it.

But as soon as this fear appeared, he suppressed it with his pure obsession - I am the Son of Heaven, so what if it is a natural disaster? !

Zhao Lie also judged that Xu Xing was determined to achieve his goal in one battle. In other words, as long as he could survive this attack, he would definitely wait for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to counterattack!

With his mind made up, Zhao Lie opened his eyes wide, and the Da Wang Whip broke out of the ground. The whip, which was several meters long, turned and swirled into a "whip shield", blocking the murderous stick.

The end result was futile and they were defeated very cleanly.

However, with the slight resistance of the Da Wang Whip, Zhao Lie once again gathered his true energy and concentrated all his strength into the "dragon head cane" in his hands. He clenched his hands and raised the long cane horizontally in the style of lifting a tripod.

With such a loud bang, Zhao Lie's knees sank into the mud and he spit out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. The exquisite and secluded garden scenery was completely destroyed by the aftermath.

The strange rocks collapsed into powder, the trees shot straight into the sky, and the place where the two men stood collapsed and sank, forming a long ditch that led directly to the round lake.

Instead of the lake water pouring into it, it was forced to retreat by this powerful force, forming a high wall of surging waves, which rushed straight to the center of the lake before collapsing with a loud bang.

But no matter what, Zhao Lie finally caught the stick. Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to launch a final blow to completely get rid of Xu Xing, he felt the long stick shake violently.

Xu Xing's aura and light also changed drastically. The purple-green color that represented the turbulent wind and thunder immediately transformed into a vast and unrestrained deep blue.

——It is the transformation of Kunpeng!
Originally, since Xu Xing learned the "Tianyu Qigong", he was able to practice the "Kunpeng True Form". However, after encountering the incident with Qiao Feng, he did not have much time to perfect this most complex true form method.

It was not until after the battle with Tian Jue that Xu Xing's spiritual power broke through again, and his mastery of "Tianyu Qigong" reached a higher level, and he finally completed the "Kunpeng True Form", transforming from the mysterious North Sea to the chaotic blue sky without any flaws.

Therefore, Zhao Lie's plan to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Xu Xing in one fell swoop was naturally unsustainable.

After revealing this appearance, Xu Xing shouted in a deep voice, and chopped down with the long stick in his hand, immediately breaking the dragon-headed crutch into two pieces. Zhao Lie's body was also chopped on the spot and fell to both sides.

But after achieving this result, Xu Xing suddenly felt something was wrong.

Most of the powerful people with internal strength he had faced were monsters with inhumanly strong vitality, some of which were even stronger than that of a human immortal like him.

Among them, Tianjue is the worst.

Xu Xing even suspected that if his Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation had not had some flaws, he would have been able to use his tremendous internal strength to drag the battle to the point where the outcome would have to be decided by fate.

Therefore, when Xu Xing faced Zhao Lie, he did not use his usual upright and overwhelming style of fighting, but chose the strategy of hiding and lying in wait, and defeating the enemy with one blow.

It is because he deeply understands how tenacious the vitality of these people with strong internal strength is. Even if they suffer serious injuries, as long as they are not dead, their combat effectiveness will not be reduced much.

After all, Zhao Lie is a strong man whose skills are no less than Tian Jue. Because he practices unique martial arts, his combat power should still be better than Tian Jue.

Even though his body was fragile, he shouldn't have died so easily.

Just as he was wondering, he saw the "dragon head crutch" broken into two pieces suddenly float up.

Next to the "dragon head crutch", the shapes of the purple gold hammer, the golden mace, the king-beating whip, and the coiled dragon stick in his hand condensed.

Another long sigh was heard:
"My biggest worry is that I have a body. It turns out that I have to completely abandon my body to achieve success on this path..."

As he spoke, a vague figure floated out from Zhao Lie's broken body.

The five magical weapons flew into his body like a young swallow flying into his arms.

The purple-gold hammer turned into a set of armor that shone with brilliant light and purple lightning, the golden mace became his left hand, the coiled dragon stick became his right hand, the king-beating whip turned into his legs, and the dragon-headed cane turned into a jade crown.

Zhao Lie now really looks like a spiritual official who should be enshrined in a Taoist temple and enjoy the incense of the world.

He looked at Xu Xing, his expression became extremely relieved, and he just sighed:

"Without a physical body, my ambition to dominate the world has become difficult to achieve.

This is the last of my martial arts achievements left. Brother Tafa, can you bear witness for me?"

Xu Xing glanced at him and couldn't help laughing:
"As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good. But you, even though you're dead, still want to plot against me once."

Zhao Lie heard this without changing his expression and said:

"I have spent half my life striving and fighting for glory, all for the sake of restoring the Song Dynasty and becoming a great ruler comparable to Taizu.

Now that you have ruined my good fortune, I will naturally use all means to retaliate. Moreover, with your personality, will you refuse?"

Although Zhao Lie was talking about his own conspiracies and schemes, the expression on his face was much more frank and his words were more straightforward than before.

I am afraid that throughout history, there has never been anyone who schemes like him.

But Zhao Lie was 100% sure that Xu Xing would agree to his request, because he had already felt from the fierce battle just now that the person in front of him was a seeker of truth like his master Tian Jue.

People like them, when they see a new martial arts achievement, will try it no matter what.

Zhao Lie said this just to be on the safe side.

Xu Xing couldn't help but nodded:
"You look more pleasing to the eye now than before."

He waved the Panlong stick in his hand, thrust it into the ground, crossed his arms, looked at others with disdain, and said proudly:

"Your martial arts achievements are truly unique and innovative. Anyway, no matter what, as long as you deliver this blow, you will die. In this case, how about I do what you want?"

Zhao Lie nodded and took a step forward:
"please."
