"Pu!"
Xie Cheng Dong blocked the sword and took a deep breath, "I await the decree."
Following Xie Cheng Dong's voice, Pei Zi Yun shook his head and sighed, "I await the decree."
Following their conversation, a dragon's roar could be heard. Ordinary people would not be able to see the Imperial Qi clashing against each other. The Emperor's decree should have been of a higher level, but the decree itself was of a lower level.
With the interference of the Imperial Qi, both of them temporarily lost the ability to cast their spells.
"Hu!" The spell disappeared, and Xie Cheng Dong heaved a sigh of relief. Pei Zi Yun's martial arts and sword techniques were too powerful. Before he could even speak, the sword flashed and the killing blow was upon him. Xie Cheng Dong did not even have the chance to react.
"Pei Zi Yun, you!" Xie Cheng Dong raised his sword to block the attack, and felt a sharp pain in his chest. Blood flowed from his nose. This was an internal injury from killing the Earth Immortal's clone.
"You want to kill me? It's not that easy." Xie Cheng Dong roared in anger. He did not know what secret technique he had used, but his human form suddenly appeared. He waved his sword, and sword Qi and killing intent rose.
"Zheng zheng zheng …" A series of metallic sounds rang out, and sparks flew. Pei Zi Yun retreated a few steps, "A technique that stimulates one's potential?"
"It's a pity that this will only make you die faster."
Pei Zi Yun's sword techniques changed. They became more delicate, like a spider's web. Although he did not use much strength, he used the least amount of strength to restrain Pei Zi Yun.
Every strike of Xie Cheng Dong's had the power to destroy everything in its path. Each strike was faster and heavier than the one before. It was as swift as lightning and as sharp as the wind. However, none of his strikes had any effect.
"Impossible, how could Pei Zi Yun have such sword techniques?" Xie Cheng Dong continued to attack, but his heart was filled with panic. At this stage, he understood that the so-called 'soft steel can overcome steel' was but a joke. In order to achieve such an effect, Pei Zi Yun's sword techniques had to be above his own, and the gap was not small.
"Zheng!" The sword flashed, and lightning flashed. Sparks flew everywhere. Pei Zi Yun retreated a few feet and stabilized himself. He smiled, "It's my turn now, right?"
Xie Cheng Dong's face was cold, and his eyes gleamed. He did not speak. Instead, he charged forward once again.
"An arrow at the end of its flight!" Pei Zi Yun laughed as he pounced forward.
Clang clang clang! The figure and the sword flashed. At this point, a ray of cold light shot through the air. Pei Zi Yun seemed to have predicted it, and dodged to the side.
All of a sudden, the cold light turned around and flew to the side. Pei Zi Yun pointed at it, and the cold light stopped moving, revealing a small sword. It looked like a magical weapon.
"Zhng zhng zhng!" Pei Zi Yun tapped his sword three times consecutively. Under the Sword Qi, the little sword's glow dissipated and fell to the ground.
Xie Cheng Dong took advantage of this opportunity and leapt several feet away. He leapt towards Pei Zi Yun's horse, hoping to escape. As soon as he reached the horse's back, he whipped the horse.
Even though a Daoist could run for a short period of time, unless one became an Earth Immortal, one would not be able to catch up. At this moment, Xie Cheng Dong felt something was wrong. A creepy aura appeared. Without thinking, he jumped out.
Boom! The horse exploded. Strictly speaking, it wasn't very powerful, but it exploded at such a close distance. Xie Chengdong felt his body shake, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"What's this?"
"Gunpowder. It doesn't have much power, but it doesn't have any Dao Qi. It's a trick." Pei Zi Yun laughed as he looked at the injured Xie Cheng Dong, "Xie Cheng Dong, you're already injured. You're at the end of the road. Just accept your death!"
As he said this, he laughed out loud. His sword techniques changed, becoming heavy, wild, and ferocious. It was the exact same technique that Xie Cheng Dong had used earlier. His sword was terrifying, and he was forced to defend against it.
Xie Cheng Dong retreated again and again, until he was surrounded by danger. All of a sudden, Pei Zi Yun's figure disappeared, and his sword Qi burst forth. With a loud shout, he launched an attack. The sword flashed, danced, and soared through the air …
"Zhng zhng zhng!" The two of them turned into rays of light, and separated. Pei Zi Yun's abdomen had been pierced by a sword, but it wasn't deep. Blood flowed from the wound.
Xie Cheng Dong stood still, his face was pale and bloodless. There was a huge gash in his abdomen, and blood was oozing out. His intestines were also leaking out. What was even more fatal was the hole in his chest. He sighed, "Good sword techniques, you win."
"Pu!" Blood spurted out as Xie Cheng Dong fell to the ground. He was only half a step into the Earth Immortal realm, and his life force was strong. He didn't die. His eyes glazed over as countless memories flooded his mind.
It was as if he had a sudden epiphany. Xie Cheng Dong pointed to the sky, "So it's you, it's you. You're the one who bewitched King Lu and me."
He then pointed to Pei Zi Yun and said, "Just you wait. If someone comes to kill you, I'll be watching from below."
"It's hard for a Yin spirit to attain sainthood." Pei Zi Yun mumbled softly, "Have a safe journey, I won't send you off."
Without hesitation, he swung his sword, and Xie Cheng Dong's head rolled to the ground.
After killing him, Pei Zi Yun felt his entire body relax. The greatest enemy of his past life had finally been slain by his sword. It was an indescribable feeling, as though his entire body was made out of crystal.
It looked like Pei Zi Yun didn't move at all, as he thought to himself.
"System!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes as it grew bigger and bigger. It then transformed into a translucent information interface, as it floated in front of him.
"Yin Master: Ninth Level (65.3%)"
"Mission: Kill Xie Cheng Dong and obtain the central Dragon Veins (Completed)"
"Beep!" The system beeped, "You've obtained partial authority over the central Dragon Veins. Beginning transfer of authority."
Following which, a surge of spiritual energy entered his body. At that point, the 65.3% turned into 68%, 69%, 70%, and so on. It continued to rise rapidly. He then looked at a spot of darkness, "I've watched for so long, can I come out now?"
"How marvelous. Every spell you cast was executed perfectly. Your sword techniques were even more marvelous. Even if I were your enemy, I would still be impressed."
A man appeared from the darkness. It was the Earth Immortal.
The Earth Immortal walked over and was silent at first. He looked at Pei Zi Yun and then walked over to Xie Cheng Dong's corpse. He picked up Xie Cheng Dong's head, which was already covered in dust. With a wave of his hand, a ball of clear water appeared and he washed the head clean. He looked at it in reminiscence. Not only had he met Xie Cheng Dong in the past, he was also very familiar with him.
The Earth Immortal couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity. He could have inherited my position as the Earth Immortal, but chose to become a thief instead."
Hearing the Earth Immortal sigh, Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but laugh. He then replied coldly, "A pity? If you hadn't cooperated and sacrificed your physical body, how would I have been able to kill him? "
"Dark Altar Sect has been around for two hundred years. How many geniuses have there been? I'm afraid all of them have died just like that. I don't understand why you would do this."
Pei Zi Yun then looked at the Earth Immortal, "You're an Earth Immortal. In the past, you were afraid that someone would steal your position. However, it's been a long time since you became an Earth Immortal. Your physical body doesn't have much longer to live, right?"
"How much longer do you have left? A few decades? A few decades?"
"You have a physical body. The True Sovereigns of Dark Altar Sect couldn't do anything to you. Once you die, based on what you've done, aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"You're too naive. There can't be two suns in the sky, and two rulers in a country. Whatever I do, the True Sovereigns are watching over me. If my actions are too outrageous, they'll talk to me."
"The biggest difference between our Daoist sects and the Imperial Court is that under the influence of the Imperial Qi, Yin and Yang are separated. How can we communicate with each other? Our Daoist sects are much more convenient."
The Earth Immortal's clone's expression was calm as he looked at Pei Zi Yu. His face was gloomy, "However, your words are malicious. I wanted to let you off, but you tried to sow discord. Looks like I can't spare you. I can only send you to see Xie Cheng Dong. That's right, I want to keep the secret of your cultivation speed."
"95%, 96%, 97% …" The numbers on the system started to increase, and was about to reach its peak.
"Haha!" Pei Zi Yun relaxed as he looked at the Earth Immortal's clone, "Why do you think I'm talking to you? Today, your clone is going to die. Let's see how much more of your lifespan you're going to lose. "
At the same time, he reached 100%. Following which, there was a loud "Boom" as spiritual energy surged into the system. The Yin Master within his body started rejoicing as he broke through from the ninth level to the tenth level. He was on the verge of becoming an Earth Immortal.
The biggest barrier to becoming a Yin Master was spiritual energy. The biggest barrier to becoming an Earth Immortal was to have a Paradise (Paradise). Once these conditions were met, the barrier would break.
Looking down, he could see that beneath his Yin Master's feet, a piece of land had formed. This was the Immortal Dao Dragon Veins. A strong feeling surfaced, as though he could easily touch the Immortal Dao Dragon Veins.
'If I could obtain all the Immortal Dao Dragon Veins, I would become a True Immortal right? ' Pei Zi Yun stretched his hands out and felt his entire body filled with energy. He looked up and saw a mountain range behind him.
This mountain range was huge and majestic. On top of the mountain range, there was an endless amount of mist. Just looking at it was extremely intimidating. Following the formation of the mountain range, a huge amount of spiritual energy surged into his body.
"Oh" Pei Zi Yun let out a low groan as his entire body started to transform. The Earth Immortal's clone looked at him and was shocked. He knew what this meant, "How can this be? Impossible, impossible."
The Earth Immortal looked at him, "This is Free Cloud Sect's Paradise? No, your Free Cloud Sect's Paradise can't possibly become a Paradise. It can't possibly support an Earth Immortal. Did you borrow the power of evil? Could it be that this is all a trap? "
"When I became an Earth Immortal, didn't you see it for yourself? How could the power of evil be like that? " When Pei Zi Yun heard the Earth Immortal's words, he paused for a moment before laughing out, "Your men will be here in another 15 minutes. Let me see if your body can hold on for such a short period of time."
As Pei Zi Yun spoke, he could feel the wind and lightning around him.
"No, that's impossible!" The Earth Immortal's clone's face fell as he looked at Pei Zi Yun in shock. He then understood, "No, this isn't Free Cloud Sect's Paradise. This is a brand new Paradise. It's a brand new Immortal Dao Dragon Veins. No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast."
"You have to die today. If not, Dark Altar Sect will not have a place to stand in the future." The Earth Immortal stared at Pei Zi Yun, "You're only at the tenth level, and have yet to become an Earth Immortal."
"For the sake of my Dark Altar Sect, die!"
"Haha!" Hearing these words, Pei Zi Yun laughed out loud. He was extremely elated, "Is that so? Even if I'm not a true Earth Immortal, I've already touched it. "
As he spoke, lightning appeared in his hands. Wind started to swirl around him. With every breath he took, he could feel the affinity between heaven and earth. It was as though he was one with the heavens.
"Now, who's going to die?"
