From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 213 Swords Soaring in the Wild
When the Star Ancestor crawled out of the soil and was completely revealed to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen actually breathed a sigh of relief.

This person looked like he was about to die, so it seemed that he was only after his physical body, not Qingxiao Sect.

Is this what Master meant by "possession"?
Although Zhao Zhen often sparred with his fellow disciples, he had never faced a method like that of the Star Ancestor.

The opponent's methods made him truly realize how terrifying the battles between cultivators could be. It wasn't just a matter of comparing spells on a martial arts stage and stopping short of a fight; it was about using every possible means.

First, they misled him with people from the Xuanji Sect; second, they used Gu to control his mother's body beforehand and then took the opportunity to poison him. This series of schemes caused him to lose his fighting ability before he could even harm this person.

Dark clouds loomed over the desolate hillside, where the Old Ancestor of the Stars stood before Zhao Zhen like a corpse, and sat down directly in front of him.

He circulated his inner energy while looking down at Zhao Zhen's face.

After their eyes met and they saw each other's true faces, Zhao Zhen was no longer afraid.

"Before you die, can you tell me where you come from?" Zhao Zhen asked in a deep voice.

The Old Ancestor Su Xing sneered, "Want to gather intelligence? I'm not like you, I'm not that easy to fool. But I can tell you, I come from the west, so you don't need to worry about your sect running into trouble. I don't want to provoke your Qingxiao Sect. Once I take your body, I will leave the Nine Provinces."

If he weren't at Tianxuan Mountain, where he could only get information about Zhao Zhen, he wouldn't have set his sights on Zhao Zhen.

He hesitated about whether to possess the bodies of the Qingxiao Sect disciples who came later, but those disciples had low cultivation and average aptitude, and he was reluctant to waste his chance to possess a body.

His body-snatching technique can only be used once; it is his only chance to be reborn.

"To the west..."

Zhao Zhen's eyes flickered as she thought silently.

The Star Ancestor ignored him and began chanting incantations.

Immediately afterwards, the Star Ancestor raised his right hand, extended two fingers, and pointed at Zhao Zhen's forehead.

Just then, Zhao Zhen's eyes sharpened, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted. He stood up abruptly and threw a punch at the Star Ancestor.

The Star Ancestor reacted extremely quickly, leaping away to dodge the punch.

After landing, he looked at Zhao Zhen in astonishment and asked in surprise, "How did you do that? Below the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, no one can withstand the poison of my Netherworld Centipede."

Zhao Zhen gasped for breath, sweat pouring down his face, as his body quickly regained its strength.

Blood kept gushing from his mouth. He swallowed twice and grinned menacingly, "Old man, it seems you haven't had enough experience either."

He was grateful to his master, for it was his master's skill that had brought him the Heavenly Golden Body Technique, which had proven remarkably effective.

After being poisoned, he desperately tried to use the ultimate skills he had mastered, and found that only the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique could activate it. The Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique tempered the acupoints in his body, and he used the Heavenly Gang Qi to forcibly expel the poison by stimulating the acupoints.

However, this came at a price; his internal organs were shaken, and he experienced excruciating pain, but he was just enduring it.

Hearing his words, Ancestor Su Xing did not panic. He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "No wonder you were able to establish such a cultivation sect in this desolate land in just over ten years. Your master is no ordinary person."

He calmly reached for his storage bag at his waist, took out a series of large flags, and tossed them into the air. The flags quickly spread out and encircled Zhao Zhen in mid-air.

Zhao Zhen suddenly strode out, cracking the hillside, and killed his way to the old ancestor Su Xing.

The Star Ancestor did not confront him head-on, but quickly dodged.

The two chased each other, engaging in battle on the slope, while large flags in the sky closely followed Zhao Zhen.

Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere, startling Zhao Zhen into jumping away. The lightning sent many rocks flying.

Before he could think any further, bolts of lightning struck out of nowhere, forcing him to keep dodging.

He was already seriously injured, and his speed had been significantly reduced after several attempts to dodge.

The Star Ancestor moved like a ghost, making it impossible for Zhao Zhen to get close.

Zhao Zhen felt frustrated. He even had the feeling of facing Ji Ya, who liked to avoid him and then keep casting the Mountain Lord's Divine Spell. Li Qingqiu jokingly called this tactic "flying a kite".

There were kites inside Qingxiao Gate, so Zhao Zhen was able to understand his master's meaning.

This tactic is even more unbearable in a life-or-death battle.

The Star Ancestor looked at him coldly, his eyes growing increasingly impatient.

"I underestimated him, but that makes sense. Everyone who becomes a cultivator must have their own methods. Fortunately, he won't last long."

Ancestor Su Xing pondered silently. He wasn't in a hurry to make a move, not because he lacked the strength, but because he wanted to preserve Zhao Zhen's physical body as much as possible.

It wouldn't be good if he possessed a disabled body.

boom--

A deafening roar came from afar, startling the Star Ancestor, who turned his head to look. He saw huge sparks appear in the sky, which quickly spread out and turned into streaks of fire that extended in different directions.

what is that?
A look of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Star Ancestor; his instincts told him that something unexpected had happened.

Zhao Zhen also witnessed this scene and was shocked.

Are there any Qingxiao Sect disciples around here?
The enormous spark in the sky was a specially made cloud-piercing thunderbolt from the Qingxiao Sect. It was conceived by his master and crafted by the Tiangong Hall. Its purpose was to allow disciples in danger to summon nearby disciples.

The range of the Cloud Piercing Thunder is vast, allowing disciples hundreds of miles away to see it.

Zhao Zhen immediately focused his mind and prepared to stall for time.

Seeing his renewed fighting spirit, the Old Ancestor of the Stars guessed what was going on.

"As expected, doing things within the territory of other sects is troublesome!" The killing intent in the eyes of the Old Ancestor Su Xing intensified, and he immediately attacked Zhao Zhen.

Seeing him rushing towards him, Zhao Zhen did not dodge, but instead charged towards him. If he kept dodging this lightning formation, he would only exhaust his strength.

Only if this old bastard is injured will the thunder array dissipate.

The two quickly closed in on each other, and just as they were about to collide, Zhao Zhen's right palm transformed into gold, with a faint golden phantom appearing.

The Star Ancestor suddenly shrank into the soil, causing Zhao Zhen to miss his target.

boom!
Before Zhao Zhen could stop, the Old Ancestor Su Xing burst out of the soil in front of him and kicked him in the jaw, sending him flying.

His mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly recovered and used the momentum to jump away.

He had just landed and looked around, but he couldn't see the figure of the Star Ancestor.

boom!
Zhao Zhen instinctively raised his arm to block, but was still kicked away by the Star Ancestor. He felt his arm break instantly.

This old man looks like he's half-buried in the ground, but I never expected him to be so strong.

He crashed into a huge rock, spitting out a mouthful of blood, before slamming to the ground.

Ancestor Su Xing clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and his face showed heartache.

He intended to kick Zhao Zhen in the shoulder, but Zhao Zhen reacted so quickly that he raised his arm to block.

However, this kick was enough to render Zhao Zhen unable to fight.

The Star Ancestor teleported in front of Zhao Zhen, extended two fingers, and touched his forehead, rendering him unable to move.

"I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Ancestor Suxing said coldly, his face hardening.

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream came from afar. Zhao Zhen glanced over and saw Yu Mi kneeling on the ground, frantically tearing at her head with both hands, large clumps of hair mixed with blood spilling onto the ground.

Zhao Zhen's pupils contracted at the sight, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! I admit defeat!"

Upon hearing this, the Star Ancestor's lips moved slightly, and Yu Mi stopped tearing at her hair and collapsed to the ground.

Without further ado, the Star Ancestor immediately used the Body Seizing Technique.

He feared that other Qingxiao Sect disciples might come and disturb him.

As he cast the spell, Zhao Zhen clearly felt a chilling energy enter his body. Immediately afterward, his vision blurred, and he felt dizzy and disoriented.

call out--

A whooshing sound came from the air, startling the Star Ancestor to his feet. He narrowly dodged a flying sword, but the sword's energy made his face sting.

After dodging the flying sword, he turned his head and saw a figure rushing towards him at high speed, like a sword light slicing across the mountains and fields.

The possession technique was interrupted, and Zhao Zhen's head fell to the ground. He immediately regained consciousness and opened his eyes to see Jiang Zhaoxia rapidly approaching.

Seeing Jiang Zhaoxia arrive, Zhao Zhen felt both pleasantly surprised and ashamed.

He knew that Jiang Zhaoxia had been busy in seclusion all these years trying to surpass Senior Sister Xu Ning. Jiang Zhaoxia's arrival was no coincidence; it must have been arranged by his master.

The Star Ancestor immediately captured Zhao Zhen, intending to use him to blackmail Jiang Zhaoxia.

However, Jiang Zhaoxia showed no sign of stopping. He actually rushed straight to Zhao Zhen and raised his sword to cut off Zhao Zhen's head.

The Star Ancestor standing behind Zhao Zhen was shocked and immediately threw Zhao Zhen away. Once Zhao Zhen was thrown away, he had no choice but to face Jiang Zhaoxia's sword.

He leaped backward, raising his right palm to block Jiang Zhaoxia's sword energy with his vital energy.

The two flew low and traversed the hillside for hundreds of feet before the Star Ancestor finally escaped Jiang Zhaoxia's sword energy.

After landing, Jiang Zhaoxia shook his sword, lowered his arm, and pointed the sword tip towards the ground, with drops of black blood sliding down the blade.

Ancestor Su Xing steadied himself and looked down at his right palm, which was cracked open, with black blood gushing out uncontrollably.

He looked up at Jiang Zhaoxia, his face contorted with rage, his eyes filled with apprehension. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Jiang Zhaoxia slightly raised her chin, looked down at him, and said, "Qingxiao Sect, Jiang Zhaoxia."

"Qingxiao Sect? You have a grudge against them?" Ancestor Suxing asked in surprise, slightly taken aback.

“He is disobedient. As his teacher, killing him would be a way to get rid of more trouble for the Qingxiao Sect.”

Jiang Zhaoxia said coldly, his gaze fixed on Ancestor Suxing, feeling equally curious.

This person was able to dodge his sword; his cultivation level is clearly not low!

"Third Uncle, be careful! This person is skilled in using poison and is proficient in burrowing magic. He has also used Gu magic to control my mother. We must guard against him using my mother to launch a sneak attack!"

Zhao Zhen shouted through gritted teeth from a distance. His voice wasn't loud, but Jiang Zhaoxia could hear it.

The Star Ancestor wasn't angry. Instead, he stared at Jiang Zhaoxia with a strange look and said with a sinister smile, "Why do I feel like you're more suitable for me to possess than him?"

A wisp of sword energy emanated from Jiang Zhaoxia's sword-wielding arm, quickly condensing into a sword spirit with the same posture as his.

"Overestimating yourself, no wonder you ended up like this."

Jiang Zhaoxia said coldly, his sword energy erupting like a mountain torrent, causing the mountain beneath his feet to shatter and dust to rise rapidly in all directions.
