A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"You dare to be arrogant in front of me with such methods?"

The next second, Wang Teng took a step forward, and an astonishing phenomenon appeared behind him as well!

Above Wang Teng's head, a vast starry sky appeared, with nine golden dragons circling in the starry sky, nine divine phoenixes spreading their wings and soaring, nine white tigers roaring to the sky, and nine black tortoises guarding the four directions.

Such extraordinary phenomena are theoretically only worthy of the Great Emperor.

However, Wang Teng had learned the Emperor's Law since childhood and often danced with dragons and phoenixes. Under the blessing of the Emperor's Scripture, he also obtained such "pseudo-phenomena".

Although these phenomena cannot compare with the true phenomena of a Great Emperor or the superimposed phenomena used by the Azure Emperor at a lower realm, they are still enough to rank in the first tier!

"Boom!~"

The two phenomena clashed, golden blood energy intertwining with dragon energy and divine light, producing a deafening roar! The void trembled, as if it were about to shatter at any moment!

"That's interesting, but not enough!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Teng's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by arrogance.

Because... he never expected himself to be so strong!

He fought to a draw with Lin Xiu, who had activated the Divine Forbidden Domain, using only seven-tenths of his strength!

This is enough to prove that if he goes all out or activates the divine restriction, Lin Xiu will not be a match for him!

So what if you activated the divine restriction before him? You're still no match for him.

Suppress the Holy Body and crush the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness today!

The next second, Wang Teng formed a hand seal, and the strange phenomenon behind him changed again.

Suddenly, the nine illusory dragons behind him merged into one, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon. Its claws tore through the void as it pounced towards Lin Xiu! The illusory phoenix condensed into a flaming divine sword, slashing towards the illusory immortal king! The illusory white tiger transformed into a bolt of white lightning, its killing intent solidifying as it pierced straight at Lin Xiu's brow!

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiu's lips curled up slightly.

He had already sensed Wang Teng's strength. Wang Teng was above the sixth minor step of the Sendai Realm and was in the Eight Forbidden Domain.

While this level of strength is formidable, it still falls short compared to his ability to frequently trigger divine restrictions.

The reason Wang Teng was able to draw with him was entirely because he held back.

Lin Xiu had calculated in advance how much force he would need to block Wang Teng's attack, which is why he was able to achieve a stalemate in his confrontation with Wang Teng.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that he might accidentally smash Wang Teng's head, and then he would have to face another public opinion crisis.

Wang Teng must persevere until he has figured out the perfect solution to this problem!

......

Faced with Wang Teng's intensified offensive, Lin Xiu also increased his efforts accordingly.

In the golden sea of ​​suffering, golden lotuses bloomed continuously, each bursting forth with golden divine light, colliding with Wang Teng's nine dragons.

The illusory image of the Immortal King became increasingly solid. He raised his hand and threw a punch, clashing with the flames of the Divine Phoenix.

The magnificent landscape painting unfolds, encompassing the entire world, as if it intends to include both the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise within its image.

Lin Xiu did not use the strongest Six Paths Reincarnation Phenomenon, nor did he use the Azure Emperor's superimposed phenomenon. He only used the most basic phenomenon and easily neutralized all of Wang Teng's attacks.

"Hi!~"

Wang Teng gasped. Why did he feel like something was off about the fighting? Why were Lin Xiu's attacks sometimes strong and sometimes weak?

Could it be that Lin Xiu deliberately held back his strength just now?

Okay, I can understand deliberately holding back at the first meeting.

But why was Lin Xiu's attack intensity also unstable in the subsequent battles?

Soon, Wang Teng found a perfect explanation: Wasn't Lin Xiu seriously injured? If he was seriously injured, it would be normal for his strength to fluctuate, right?

However, given the extent of his injuries, his condition certainly cannot be maintained for long!

[As long as the attack continues, he will surely be defeated!]

Wang Teng was very excited and continued to exchange blows with Lin Xiu.

"boom!"

The golden dragon and the golden lotus collided, unleashing a blinding light. The flaming divine sword struck the illusory image of the Immortal King, causing it to tremble slightly. The White Tiger's murderous aura was blocked by the Mountain and River Map, while black water columns washed over the golden blood energy, producing a sizzling sound.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the air, each collision shaking the holy city.

The cultivators below were dumbfounded; they had rarely witnessed a battle of this level in their entire lives.

"Incredible! Is this the power of a young supreme being?"

"Wang Teng's extraordinary phenomenon is terrifying. The appearance of nine divine beasts is like the descent of an ancient god-king!"

"Lin Xiu is not weak either. With the three extraordinary phenomena appearing simultaneously, he was actually able to contend with the Northern Emperor Teng!"

"Have you noticed that Lin Xiu's aura seems a bit unstable?"

Some people keenly noticed the anomaly.

However, no one paid much attention to it.

The rumors of Lin Xiu's injury during the Tribulation of the Immortal Platform have spread throughout the Holy City. Even though the Immortal Peach of the Jade Pool has basically healed his injuries, he is not completely healed. Didn't he just vomit blood?

Since there are still some injuries, it's normal for his breathing to be unstable, right?

........

After exchanging more than a dozen blows, Wang Teng suddenly stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at Lin Xiu.

"Great Saint Body Lin Xiu, I, Wang Teng, acknowledge you!"

"Your strength is not bad; you're qualified to be my stepping stone!"

Wang Teng had a smug look on his face, acting all high and mighty, as if he had only warmed up and hadn't used his full strength at all.

"The Great Holy Body?"

Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow and quickly understood why Wang Teng addressed him that way.

Well, the title "Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu" is indeed too pretentious, even more so than Wang Teng's "Northern Emperor" title. It's normal that Wang Teng doesn't want to call him that.

However, is there any need for Wang Teng to suddenly stop?

As soon as this question arose, Wang Teng told Lin Xiu the reason directly.

"Great Saint Body Lin Xiu, let's make this clear first: if you are defeated, I will take your saint blood to refine a saint pill to help my clansman break through!"

That's right, that's why Wang Teng suddenly stopped.

As a top prodigy, it sounds rather despicable to take action when someone is seriously injured.

Only by announcing it in advance and then taking the blood after receiving Lin Xiu's reply can one leave others with nothing to say.

As for whether Lin Xiu will agree?

Wang Teng knew all too well the arrogance of top talents.

Such challenges and bets are something that any ambitious genius would not refuse!

........

of course.

In reality, Lin Xiu was quite different from other prodigies.

"Cousin?"

Lin Xiu remembered that Wang Teng had a spoiled younger brother. In the original story, it was his good younger brother who provoked Ye Fan first, which led to Wang Teng and Ye Fan going head-to-head.

"Is your cousin named Wang Chong?" Lin Xiu asked.

"That's right!"

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Lin Xiu knew his cousin's name.

"You want to use the Holy Blood to refine pills to help the King break through?" Lin Xiu asked again.

"Of course!"

"Okay! No problem! I can hand over the Holy Body Ye Fan to you right now!"

"A minor holy body is still a holy body! Refining pills is no problem for me!" Lin Xiu replied generously.

"what?"

Wang Teng never expected it could be done this way—directly betraying his teammates?!

"You can do that? Isn't Ye Fan your disciple?"

Wang Teng suspected that there might be a problem with his intelligence.

"No, he is not my disciple, and I have never heard him call me master."

"Compared to my master, I am more like his creditor."

"He still owes me a lot of holy blood, so you can go ask him for it without hesitation!"

"Paying back debts is a matter of course!"

Lin Xiu had already figured out how to deal with Ye Fan.

Since he figured Ye Fan's actions were unintentional and not deliberately escalated the situation, he decided to let it go and not pursue the matter of attacking the Sendai from the Waterway Palace.

Let's lower the difficulty a bit and let him try again at level four!

........

"Huh? Ye Fan still owes you holy blood?"

Wang Teng didn't expect Ye Fan to be such a ruthless person, actually selling his blood to cultivate immortality.

“That’s right! He does indeed owe me holy blood.”

"Perfect timing. Ye Fan is planning to break through the Four Extremes Realm recently. After breaking through, his Sacred Body will be considered to have achieved minor success."

"The blood of a minor Saint Body has already begun to possess spirituality, enough for you to refine pills."

"How about this? If you can successfully obtain the Holy Blood, I will let you take enough for your alchemy. How about that?" Lin Xiu thought that asking for it himself would not be as intimidating as asking for it from Wang Teng.

For debt collection, it's best to outsource it.
