From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 212 The Terrifying Zhao Zhen, the Difference Between Immortals and Mortals
It wasn't until Hua Daozang and Yu Mi arrived in front of Ku Yi and Ku Er that Zhao Zhen turned his gaze to Tuo Zhenye.

Ku Yi immediately shielded Yu Mi, while Ku Er glared fiercely at Hua Daozang.

Ignoring their gazes, Hua Daozang turned to the camp below the mountain and said, "I didn't lie to you. Tianxuan Mountain will indeed help Zhao Zhen recover the lost territories. Just watch what happens today. Don't you have any faith in Zhao Zhen?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Yi and Ku Er escorted Yu Mi to the side, distancing themselves from Hua Daozang, and then looked down at the camp.

Surrounded by hundreds of Northern Barbarian warriors, Zhao Zhen showed no fear.

Tuo Zhenye sized him up, and he sized Tuo Zhenye up in return, neither of them in a hurry to speak.

After a long while, Tuo Zhenye finally spoke, "I heard that you are the disciple of Li Qingqiu, the sect leader of Qingxiao Sect."

"That's right, just say it, what's your purpose?" Zhao Zhen said impatiently.

Tuo Zhenye grinned and said, "I've heard that your Qingxiao Sect has swept across the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces, and some people even say that you are cultivating immortality. Hand over your internal energy cultivation method, or your mother will not be able to escape from this Hundred Burial Ridge."

Zhao Zhen looked at him and asked, "That's it?"

Tuo Zhenye sneered, "What? Is your Qingxiao Sect's internal energy not worth mentioning?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "I just thought you had some earth-shattering plan, but I didn't expect it was just for our cultivation technique. However, this alone is enough to sentence you to death. I'm very curious, how did you know she was my mother, and how were you so sure I would come?"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Tuo Zhenye was displeased and said, "Even now, you still don't understand? No one betrayed you, so how could we, a group of people from outside Kyushu, know so clearly?"

"Too."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and then he began to twist his neck and move his hands.

The surrounding Northern Barbarian warriors frowned and drew their weapons.

Tuo Zhenye's lips curled up, and a terrifying internal energy erupted from his body, swirling around him and ruffling his hair. He looked at Zhao Zhen with disdain and said, "You don't actually think I'm weak, do you?"

boom--

A terrifying gust of wind swept away all the surrounding Northern Barbarian warriors, and one tent after another collapsed. Zhao Zhen rushed to Tuo Zhenye's side and punched him through the chest, blood splattering everywhere, while his chin rested on Tuo Zhenye's shoulder.

"Ugh..."

Tuo Zhenye spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, his eyeballs filled with bloodshot veins, and his energy dissipated instantly.

As he lay dying, he couldn't believe what was happening before him. He trembled all over and felt his body growing cold rapidly.

"You don't actually think you're that strong, do you?"

Zhao Zhen whispered in Tuo Zhenye's ear, then withdrew his fist and watched as Tuo Zhenye knelt before him.

The Northern Barbarian warriors from all directions hurriedly got up, and when they saw Tuo Zhenye kneeling down, they all looked like they had seen a ghost.

"How could this be... How could Elder Tuo..."

"Impossible... Elder Tuo is a master who is almost at the Dao level..."

"A demon! He must be a demon!"

"Run! Run away!"

The Northern Barbarian warriors were terrified by what they saw. Not only them, but Yu Mi and Hua Daozang, who were standing on the hillside, also stared wide-eyed when they saw Zhao Zhen kill Tuo Zhenye with a single punch.

Ku Yi and Ku Er remained calm. They dared to gamble that what Hua Daozang said was true because they knew how strong Zhao Zhen was.

In the past, Zhao Zhen's strength would have been enough to force his way into the True Yang Imperial City and kill Zhao Zhi!
It's no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Zhen were ten years ago, he would absolutely be the best in the world!

Zhao Zhen flashed and began to chase after the Northern Barbarian warriors. His movements were as fast as a ghost, and Hua Daozang, who considered himself a master, couldn't keep up with his movements at all.

At this moment, Hua Daozang seemed to see the Yan Dao Sect and Shen Yue locked in a duel.

"How is this possible... How could he be so powerful?"

Hua Daozang felt his scalp tingle. He hadn't understood why the Star Ancestor had gone through so many twists and turns before, but now he suddenly understood.

He simply doesn't understand the power of cultivators!

Upon realizing what was happening, he was immediately terrified and turned to pounce on Yu Mi.

Clang——

Ku Er suddenly drew his sword, the tip of which was pressed directly against Hua Daozang's throat, causing him to stop abruptly.

"Such a fast sword... How can his martial arts be so advanced... Could he also cultivate immortality?"

Hua Daozang stared wide-eyed at Ku Er in fear.

He had never taken Ku Yi and Ku Er seriously, but he never expected that their martial arts skills were so terrifying.

Yu Mi was so angry that she trembled all over when she saw that Hua Daozang still dared to attack her.

Ku Yi coldly stared at Hua Daozang and said, "Elder Hua, you don't actually think we trust you because you are trustworthy, do you?"

The reason they dared to persuade Zhao Zhen to take the risk was because they didn't take Tianxuan Mountain seriously at all; what they wanted was the network of connections that Tianxuan Mountain had accumulated over generations.

Hua Daozang could sense Ku Er's murderous aura. His intuition told him that if he dared to make any rash moves, this man would show no mercy.

Hearing the screams rising and falling behind him, his heart sank into an abyss.

Zhao Zhen's image became incredibly terrifying in his mind, and an unprecedented sense of regret welled up in his heart.

He even came to hate the Star Ancestor. If the Star Ancestor hadn't bewitched him, he would never have had any designs on the Qingxiao Sect and Zhao Zhen.

The screams didn't last long; Hundred Burial Ridge soon fell silent. Hearing footsteps behind him, Hua Daozang, unable to withstand the pressure, hurriedly shouted, "Ancestor! Why haven't you shown yourself yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his head flew high into the air, blood splattering everywhere, his face still bearing the expression of shock and anger.

It wasn't Ku Er who beheaded him, but Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen stood behind Hua Daozang, covered in blood, looking like a fierce demon, which even frightened Yu Mi.

After Zhao Zhen killed Hua Daozang with his palm, he turned around and looked in all directions, wary of the appearance of unknown enemies.

On a distant mountaintop stood a paper figure, which Qiao Dingbei used to spy on everything.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had killed all the Northern Barbarian warriors, and even Hua Daozang, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After the tension subsided, he couldn't help but shiver.

"As expected of the sect leader's disciple, he is so fierce. It seems that the sect leader's deeds are true."

Sitting behind the rock, Qiao Dingbei thought to himself, "It is said that the sect leader is a god of war in the martial arts world, but he appears gentle within the sect. I used to think that those rumors were just slander against the sect leader by people in the martial arts world, but now it seems that they may not be false."

In any case, since Zhao Zhen is so assertive, he doesn't need to take any risks.

More than any achievement, Qiao Dingbei wanted to live.

Staying within the Qingxiao Sect offers limitless prospects, and one might even glimpse the path to immortality. As for merit, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Zhao Zhen was alert to his surroundings but did not see anyone else. Ku Yi and Ku Er were also on high alert.

"Let's get out of here quickly. Take your mother back to Qingxiao Sect first."

Ku Yi said in a deep voice, "The truth has been revealed. They cannot rely on Tianxuan Mountain to restore the Great Li Dynasty. They can only retreat first to avoid any unforeseen changes."

Zhao Zhen nodded, immediately walked to Yu Mi, hoisted her onto his shoulder, then summoned a flying sword from his storage bag and rode away on it.

Ku Yi and Ku Er also rode their swords, and the three of them moved forward on their swords.

On their way here, they deliberately conserved their energy for use during their escape.

As long as they fly on their swords, they are confident they can escape even from a massive army.

"Zhen'er, I never imagined you'd be so amazing..."

Yu Mi's voice came from behind, making Zhao Zhen frown.

He had no memory of this mother, let alone any feelings for her; it was only the bond of blood that made him unable to ignore Yu Mi.

He was thinking about how to respond, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, which startled him so much that he instinctively tried to shake off Yu Mi.

However, Yu Mi held him tightly and refused to let go.

The stinging pain in the back of his neck caused his body to go numb rapidly, and he began to fall downwards.

Ku Yi and Ku Er were both alarmed upon seeing this, and they immediately sped up to get closer to Zhao Zhen and the other man.

Just then, Yu Mi suddenly looked up and spat out two streams of dark green energy, like flying knives, which swept across the sky and pierced directly between the eyebrows of Ku Yi and Ku Er.

The two died suddenly, their expressions of panic remaining until their last breath.

Yu Mi, clinging to Zhao Zhen's back, revealed a greedy and ferocious expression. Zhao Zhen then heard a hoarse voice:
“Young man, you have cultivation but lack experience. You deserve this calamity.”

Zhao Zhen felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this voice.

The voice clearly came from an old man, so how could it be his mother?

Could it be that what he was carrying wasn't his mother, but a villain in disguise?
Just as Zhao Zhen was about to crash onto the rocky hillside, Yu Mi let go, turned around and grabbed Zhao Zhen's robe, slowing down until they landed before letting go.

Zhao Zhen escaped being smashed to pieces, but found himself unable to move and could only collapse to the ground.

He had imagined all sorts of terrible scenarios, but he never thought he would end up like this.

He struggled to lift his head, looked at Yu Mi before him, and asked through gritted teeth, "Who... exactly are you?"

Yu Mi bent down, looked down at him with a loving expression, and said, "Zhen'er, it's your mother who's confused?"

Zhao Zhen felt a chill run down his spine; he had no idea what was going on.

Yu Mi's expression changed, turning ferocious. She reached up and touched the back of Zhao Zhen's neck, picking up a large centipede.

When Zhao Zhen saw the writhing black centipede in front of him, he became even more uneasy.

“Young man, your mother has been poisoned by my curse and has lost her mind. If you do not struggle, I will spare your mother’s life once I take over your body. If you insist on struggling, I will make your mother die a terrible death. You will watch her suffer a fate worse than death, begging you to kill her. Do you want her to go through such torment?”

The hoarse voice belonged to the Star Ancestor, and his chilling tone made Zhao Zhen grit his teeth.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Mi turned Zhao Zhen over, and then she stood there blankly, motionless.

The world suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Zhen couldn't sense anyone else's presence, and the more he couldn't, the more uneasy he became.

suddenly!

A withered hand emerged from the soil in front of Zhao Zhen and grabbed his face. Through the gaps between the fingers, he saw a figure that looked like a vengeful ghost slowly crawling out of the soil.
