Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

However, Lin Zhao's Starry Sky Rift Sword could not be used because she needed to maintain the sword net.

Both sides have now lost their strongest advantage.

The battle reached its climax.

Meng Wuhen's eyes widened. He had never seen such a fighting style before—using his own fourth-tier magic weapon to trap the opponent's fourth-tier magic weapon, and then neither of them used their fourth-tier magic weapons anymore.

Before he could react, Lin Zhao had already moved.

The Azure Lotus Sword was drawn.

The cyan sword light drew an arc in the air, and Lin Zhao's figure disappeared from the spot, reappearing beside Meng Wuhen the next moment.

The sword sliced ​​horizontally, its light flashing past Meng Wuhen's neck.

A protective jade talisman on Meng Wuhen's body automatically exploded, forcibly pulling him out from under the sword light.

Meng Wuhen broke out in a cold sweat. Several talismans on his body were activated, and he instantly teleported away, flashing more than ten miles away, while simultaneously summoning back to Lei Yu Palace.

He also reached into his storage bag and pulled out a long spear.

The gun body was entirely silver-white, and the tip of the gun shimmered with lightning.

Both sides have two powerful magical palaces above their heads—the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace and the Thunder Universe Palace—each providing defense.

The two began to fight in close combat.

A streak of blue light and a streak of silver lightning chased each other endlessly on the sea.

Sword energy and lightning crackled and exploded repeatedly, their roars shaking the sea surface. The raging spiritual energy that dissipated caused giant waves to surge in the sea below.

But it wasn't long before Meng Wuhen found himself at a disadvantage.

Although he was hundreds of years older than Lin Zhao, he had lived a life of luxury for many years and had very few opportunities for real close combat.

Over the years, Lin Zhao has fought his way from the Inner Sea into the Black Sea, and countless third-tier demonic beasts have died at his hands. His combat awareness is on a completely different level.

Lin Zhao unleashed sword strike after sword strike, the light of the Azure Lotus Sword pressing ever closer, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Meng Wuhen's attack rhythm began to become disordered.

At the same time, the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace above Lin Zhao's head unleashed its power once again.

Countless blood-red bone chains burst forth from the palace, wrapping around Lei Yu Palace from all directions.

The nine jade bells on the Thunder Palace shook wildly, emitting rapid thunderous sounds. Each ring released a circle of lightning in an attempt to shatter the bone chains.

However, the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace is ultimately a top-grade third-tier magic weapon, one tier higher than the Thunder Universe Palace.

A small difference in rank is magnified in this head-on war of attrition.

Bone chains were shattered batch after batch by lightning, but the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace continued to generate new bone chains, eventually forcibly binding the Thunder Universe Palace.

All nine jade bells were tightly bound by bone chains, their sound becoming muffled and hoarse, and the power of lightning was suppressed by the blood-red light.

Ultimately, the Thunder Palace was forcibly dragged away from Meng Wuhen's vicinity by the Blood Origin Bone Fiend Palace.

At this moment, both sides' strongest offensive and defensive magical artifacts have slipped out of their control.

In this life-or-death struggle, there are no more obstacles.

A strong fighting spirit surged in Lin Zhao's eyes, a pure, almost scalding fighting will—a thirst for blood that teetered on the brink of life and death, a shiver of anticipation as the sword's edge brushed past the opponent's attack.

This is the instinct of a sword cultivator, a bloodthirsty instinct amplified by the constant battles fought by the Azure Lotus clone over the years.

Meng Wuhen was frightened.

A chill ran through him; he sensed the danger of death.

Previously, he relied on his background and magical artifacts to suppress his opponents, but now that he has lost the Vast Ocean Stele and the Thunder Universe Palace, he finds that he is no match for Lin Zhao.

Under the threat of death, Meng Wuhen began to sue for peace.

While parrying the attacks, he said in a hurried voice, "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, there is no enmity between us that cannot be resolved. Let's end it here today..."

Lin Zhao ignored him.

The sword light became even faster.

Meng Wuhen turned his head and shouted at the people in Camp Two in the distance, "What are you all standing there for? Come and help me!"

Gu Hongling made a decisive decision and handed the Crimson Talisman Spirit Boat over to Elder Han for control.

She transformed into a streak of crimson light, blocking the path of the people in Camp Two. With her longsword drawn, she forcefully killed several Core Formation cultivators who were at the forefront.

The rune cannons on the Crimson Talisman Spirit Boat also fired at the same time, and the crimson beams struck several Core Formation cultivators. Before they could even scream, they fell from the sky.

The remaining people dared not move—Gu Hongling was a figure on the Fengyun Ranking, and without Meng Wuhen's support, they were no match for her.

Meng Wuhen was completely isolated and helpless.

He could only pull out all sorts of consumable trump cards—talismans, thunder beads, defensive jade talismans—and throw them out one after another, desperately trying to defend against Lin Zhao's attacks.

However, Lin Zhao used the Three Fiends Sword Technique.

The bloodthirsty aura seeped into the defensive barrier, rapidly corroding its surface and creating countless holes.

The power of the Earthly Fiends suppressed the eruption of the Thunder Pearl; the lightning was forcibly extinguished before it could explode.

The power of the Heavenly Fiend annihilated the spiritual energy on the talisman, and the jade talisman turned to ashes in mid-air.

Meng Wuhen's various methods were all defeated by the Three Fiends Sword Qi. No matter how many trump cards he had, he could not withstand such attrition.

Meng Wuhen felt like he was about to collapse.

He's almost run out of cards and his magic power is nearly exhausted.

He was struck by Lin Zhao's sword and was thrown from the air, crashing heavily onto the sea, creating a huge wave.

He knelt on the sea, soaking wet, the ferocity on his face gone, replaced only by fear.

He began to beg for mercy: "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, spare my life, I can..."

Lin Zhao looked down at him, a hint of mockery in her voice.

"The chosen one, high above, who is kneeling below now? Who is looking up now?"

A ferocious expression suddenly appeared on Meng Wuhen's face.

These words struck a nerve—he firmly believed that he was the chosen one, destined to rule the world.

Now, however, he has been beaten so badly that he is kneeling on the sea, looking up at his opponent.

He suddenly stood up, his lips moved slightly, about to utter some harsh words—but then he froze.

He looked down at his abdomen.

There is a ghostly hand there.

Five jet-black fingers pierced from his lower back to his abdomen, with the fingertips protruding from his dantian, and a ball of violently pulsating golden light grasped in the palm of his hand.

That was the golden elixir he had cultivated for hundreds of years.

The third-tier superior magic weapon – the Mysterious Yin Ghost Hand.

Meng Wuhen said, trembling, "You...you...cheated..."

No one expected that,

As a sword cultivator, Lin Zhao's final tactic was to ambush his opponent.

Gu Hongling, who was fighting in the distance, paused for a moment with her sword.

Old Han opened his mouth on the Crimson Talisman Spirit Boat, but no words came out.

Is this still the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, famous for his swordsmanship?

This person is probably not a fake swordsman!

Lin Zhao ignored everyone's gaze.

He is a sword cultivator, but he is not entirely a sword cultivator.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel descended into the consciousness of the Azure Lotus Avatar and has never left.

On the other side, they'll use any means necessary to win.

The Heavenly Heart Falun not only enhances control and ability, but also possesses powerful deductive abilities.

First, he used the Five Elements Returning to Origin Sword Wheel to trap the Vast Ocean Stele, then forced Lei Yu Palace out with close combat, and finally broke through his psychological defenses with the Three Fiends Sword Qi.

Seize the opening when he is momentarily on the verge of a breakdown.

Finally, the Xuan Yin Ghost Hand delivered a fatal blow; every step was planned.
