Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

As for Lu Xueqi and Wan Jianyi, he never took them seriously.

Even if the two were in their prime, let alone now that they are seriously injured, he would not be afraid at all.

Taiqing possesses absolute arrogance when facing experts at the Shangqing realm; otherwise, why would it be called the supreme realm... Taiqing.

Even eleven years ago, when the righteous and the demonic forces invaded.

Cangsong, at the peak of the Shangqing realm, first bit him with the most poisonous seven-tailed centipede in the world, and then gave him a solid knife, leaving him with only half a life.

Even in that state, he could easily knock back the pine tree with a single palm strike.

Moreover, he is now almost fully recovered from his injuries and has the Zhuxian Ancient Sword in his hand.

It can be said that, looking at the whole world, he now doesn't take anyone seriously.

Of course, except for Zhang Xiaofan, who is right in front of us.

No, there's also the Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect.

He had always felt that the Ghost King was calm and composed, and that the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, the sect's most treasured artifact, was somewhat strange.

When he gazed at the image of the Heavenly Fiend King on the Fulong Cauldron back then, he felt a chill run down his spine.

However, now that he possessed the Immortal Execution Sword, he was brimming with confidence. After killing Zhang Xiaofan, he would immediately go to the Ghost King Sect to slay the Ghost King and eliminate any future troubles.

At that time, no one in the entire world will be his match.

Oh, and there's Lu Xueqi right in front of me. Her talent surpasses even mine, rivaling that of Master Qingye back then.

After Zhang Xiaofan is killed, Lu Xueqi must also die!

Dao Xuan Zhenren stood quietly in the heavy rain, waiting for Zhang Xiaofan to heal Tian Buyi and make him expend more of his original magical power.

The more primordial power Zhang Xiaofan expends, the greater his chances of winning in the subsequent battles.

Although Dao Xuan Zhenren's personality has been greatly altered by the corruption of his violent nature, his cautious approach to things remains unchanged.

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes...

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaofan slowly withdrew his hands from behind Tian Buyi's back and then finished his practice.

Then, he reached out his hands to help Tian get up.

To everyone's surprise, Tian Buyi simply waved his hand and said:

"No need, I can get up myself. I feel fine!"

Zhang Xiaofan knew that Tian Buyi was a proud man who was willing to suffer for the sake of saving face, so he withdrew his hands.

Tian Buyi supported himself on the ground with both hands, slowly stood up, then waved his hands, stretched his legs, and felt full of power, even stronger than before.

He knew this was because Zhang Xiaofan had channeled his primordial magical power into him.

After all, Zhang Xiaofan was at the ninth level of the Taiqing realm, while he was only at the half-step Taiqing realm. The original power of the ninth level of the Taiqing realm would have an unimaginable effect on him.

Moreover, Tian Buyi had a feeling that after obtaining some of Lao Qi's original magical power, the supreme realm of Taiqing seemed not so unattainable.

He felt that if given fifty to one hundred years, he could also break through to the Taiqing realm.

Feeling his severe injuries stabilize, and thinking about breaking through to the Taiqing Realm in the future, Tian Buyi felt a surge of joy. He patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said:

"Seventh brother, well done. However, I don't know how to properly thank you."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said:
“Master, you taught me the Dao and gave me a home. I am deeply grateful. Healing your wounds is my duty as your disciple. It is only right.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi remained silent, only looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a face full of relief and excitement.

"Zhang Xiaofan, are you done catching up?"

At this moment, Dao Xuan Zhenren's voice rang out. Zhang Xiaofan looked over and saw Dao Xuan Zhenren staring intently at him, his eyes filled with crimson, holding the Zhuxian Sword in his hand, which was neither stone nor gold.

Judging by its appearance alone, no one would guess that this sword is the world-renowned Zhuxian Ancient Sword.

This sword, as the treasured sword of the Qingyun Sect, has been used by the sect leader to turn the tide on numerous occasions over the past two thousand years.

Demon-Slaying Cult members, and even the terrifyingly injured Beast God.

Dao Xuan Zhenren stared at Zhang Xiaofan with his crimson eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Draw your sword. Let me see how much my once most valued genius has grown."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand, and the Zhuxian Sword stuck in the ground some distance away moved.

A flash of blood appeared and flew into Zhang Xiaofan's hand.

Zhang Xiaofan gripped the Blood Soul Sword tightly, pointing it directly at Dao Xuan Zhenren, and said with a firm and powerful voice:
"You will not be disappointed."

"Good...good...good!" Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who was drawing his sword at him, and praised him three times in a row. His ferocious face was full of excitement as he said:

"Then let me see if you'll kill me today, or if I'll kill you... Hehehe... Hehehe..."

As Dao Xuan spoke, he let out a sinister laugh.

Zhang Xiaofan took a step and walked towards Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Upon seeing this, Tian Buyi, Lu Xueqi, and Wan Jianyi also followed Dao Xuan Zhenren.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the three of them and said:
"You don't need to help me. The two strongest Taiqing cultivators in the world today both wield the Zhuxian Sword and the Demon Sword, which are extremely malevolent."

"If you follow me, it will affect my performance. Let's find a place to sit down and watch how I defeat Dao Xuan Zhenren."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi thought about it and felt that Zhang Xiaofan's words made sense.

After all, the three of them had joined forces to fight Dao Xuan, but they hadn't gained any advantage. Instead, they were all seriously injured. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaofan, the three of them would have already died at Dao Xuan's hands.

If the three of them were to make a move now, it would only affect Zhang Xiaofan's performance. They should be careful not to hurt the three of them.

So, Wan Jianyi looked at Zhang Xiaofan and solemnly instructed him:

"After Dao Xuan fell into demonic possession, he became ruthless and vicious. With the Zhuxian Sword in hand, this guy is now terrifyingly strong."

"You... must be extremely careful."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan nodded solemnly and said:

"Don't worry, you three. Even if I can't win, I can still run away..."

"Haha..." Tian Buyi chuckled and said:
"Seventh Brother is right, if you can't beat them, run away."

"Let's go, the three of us find a stone platform to sit on and watch the battle. After all, a battle at the Taiqing level is not something we see easily."

Although Tian Buyi spoke casually, his furrowed brows revealed the tension and fear he felt at that moment.

He was afraid that Zhang Xiaofan was no match for Dao Xuan, and that Zhang Xiaofan would die at Dao Xuan's hands.

The three stepped back, and Wan Jianyi and Tian Buyi sat down heavily on the stone platform.

Lu Xueqi, on the other hand, stood like a statue waiting for her husband, even though she was very weak. She stood straight in the heavy rain, staring intently at Zhang Xiaofan, who was approaching Dao Xuan Zhenren step by step.

As Dao Xuan saw Zhang Xiaofan walking slowly closer, his hands began to move.

He knew that Zhang Xiaofan's body was extremely tough, comparable to a divine weapon from the heavens, and he definitely couldn't fight Zhang Xiaofan head-on.

As Dao Xuan Zhenren watched Zhang Xiaofan approach, he gripped the Zhuxian Sword tightly in his right hand and held it upright in front of his chest, while his left hand formed a hand seal and he chanted incantations.

The next moment, a massive Tai Chi Xuanqing Diagram materialized behind them. Within the diagram, several sword energies gleamed with cold light, and an extremely dangerous aura enveloped the entire Grass Temple Village…
