Fire! Burn! Mountain! River!
Not only did the scorching flames burn the mountains and seas dry, but even the mountains and seas themselves began to burn. Even the divine light around Zhong Zheng began to burn one by one until his entire body was burning.
"Old Zhong!"
Mr. Wine let out a muffled shout, but he knew that it was too late to save him.
The burning divine light was like adding oil to the fire. In an instant, he was about to be completely incinerated.
"What … unexpected swordsmanship!"
However, Zhong Zheng did not panic. He watched as his ultimate move was broken, the divine light dissipated, and his body fell into the sea of fire. However, he did not move at all. He only stretched his arms, as if he did not feel any pain at all, and stretched lazily.
"I am very gratified to be able to die under such beautiful swordsmanship!"
He bowed to Shen Zhenyi from afar. Shen Zhenyi nodded in response.
That all-out attack just now had already earned Shen Zhenyi's respect. His composure when he was defeated and killed was even more moving.
"I didn't know that killing swordsmanship could be so beautiful."
A smile appeared on Zhong Zheng's face. "Little girl, I have wronged you."
After defeating Zhong Zheng's swordsmanship, Ah Gui's divine light stopped burning. Although it had shrunk a lot, she felt that the divine light was purer, more solid, and more refined. She could not help but turn to look at Shen Zhenyi.
Shen Zhenyi sat on the crystal throne and watched as Zhong Zheng turned into ashes. Pieces of light dust floated in the air and scattered in the autumn wind.
"Let's go!"
"Shen Zhenyi's swordsmanship is stronger than expected."
"Even Great Meru Mountain Zhong Zheng's ultimate move could not force him to attack personally!"
Mr. Wine's heart was in a mess. He originally had a trump card, but he did not dare to use it. The moment Zhong Zheng died, he immediately turned around and ordered a retreat.
Those who had set up the Virtual God Array would not be able to escape, but those who rushed into the array should be able to survive.
Great Meru Mountain Zhong Zheng was also killed.
This was a huge loss.
However … it was still bearable.
Mr. Wine thought optimistically. No matter what, he had paid a small price to find out the details of this team. It was enough.
As soon as he retreated, the Virtual God Spell Formation was unable to sustain itself and immediately collapsed. Cynanchum Chinense and the others were not interested in killing those who were fleeing in all directions. They only knocked down those who were not sensible enough and were not afraid of death. They protected Xuan Yan and Miss Yuan and came to Shen Zhenyi's side.
Ah Hu stood at the side in a daze, still looking at Shen Zhenyi calmly, but there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
"What do you want to ask? Ask away."
Shen Zhenyi wiped his hands with a piece of silk. The battle had passed in the time it took to eat grapes.
— — It really wasn't much of a problem. He could tell that Ah Bi had questions to ask.
"What method did you use to control my body?"
Ah Gui could not help but ask.
This feeling was too wonderful. Because of this, her understanding of swordsmanship and her mastery of swordsmanship had increased by a level. Even if she hadn't comprehended the last sword move, "Burning Mountains and Rivers," which Shen Zhenyi had used her body to perform, after this battle, her strength would still increase by a large margin.
"Control?"
Shen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head.
"I didn't control your body. I just used my sword."
"Everything in the world is just my sword. You are no exception."
Obviously, Ah Gui did not understand this sentence. She frowned and thought hard. Her expressionless face was even more confused.
"I am … your sword?"
Regardless of how Ah Gui could not figure it out, Shen Zhenyi did not think that this battle of eating grapes was troublesome, but it caused a stir again.
Because in this battle, a well-known swordsman had died.
Great Mount Meru — Zhong Zheng.
This person was known as a new swordsman in Xuantian City a hundred years ago, and his future was limitless. But unfortunately, after a hundred years of hard work, his strength did not increase. Even so, his reputation was still resounding, and he was an important person that the elder faction could rely on.
He challenged Shen Zhenyi, but the Third Young Master Shen Zhenyi had killed him without making a move?
"Has Third Young Master Shen's swordsmanship improved again?"
Yuan Yuzhen's expression was solemn.
"Mister Jiu, you are too hasty."
Yuan Yuzhen was also worried and afraid about Shen Zhenyi's uncontrollable growth. He had thought of killing Shen Zhenyi at all costs, but … now was not the time.
Zhang Zhong was annoyed. "The Admiral originally wanted to pretend to be polite with Shen Zhenyi and make a move after gaining his trust. But with Mister Jiu's interference, I'm afraid it will not work."
He had seen the Third Young Master Shen with his own eyes, and he knew how terrifying he was.
Yuan Yuzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's just a saying. This person can practice martial arts to such a level, he is not a fool. When he first entered Xuantian City, I tried to recruit him once, but I was wrong."
He had tried his best to overestimate Shen Zhenyi, but when they first met, he knew that this person was not someone he could estimate.
If he had used all the resources of the Elder Faction to recruit Shen Zhenyi, or even made him a core member of the Elder Faction, and immediately gave him a chance to enter the obelisk, there might have been a chance to improve their relationship. But now, it was too late.
The worst thing was that the Elder Faction seemed to be on the opposite side of Shen Zhenyi.
Fortunately, the others were also on the opposite side.
Shen Zhenyi did not seem to be interested in joining any faction, and no faction was willing to pay the price to recruit him.
"Then should we just send him to the obelisk now?"
Zhang Zhong suggested.
This person's swordsmanship was so high that he should not have stayed outside the obelisk. He was very surprised outside the obelisk.
Yuan Yuzhen smiled bitterly. "If it was before, we would have agreed. But now, if we give Shen Zhenyi a spot in the Elder Faction, will the others agree? The spots to enter the obelisk are fought for by everyone's blood and lives. Shen Zhenyi is a blood feud with us. If we give him a spot, do you believe that the Elder Faction will be torn apart today? "
Unlike the other factions, the Elder Faction was a combination of interests. It was not as close as the other factions.
Mr. Wine and Shen Zhenyi were defeated, and so many elites died. These were the assets of the core members of the Elder Faction. How could they sacrifice their own interests just to send Shen Zhenyi away?
This person was too unpredictable, so there were always people who hoped for a fluke.
Yuan Yuzhen knew that there was no way out. He sighed sadly.
Now, Shen Zhenyi could neither be defeated nor persuaded. It seemed that he could only hope that the other factions would be even more stupid and offend him more thoroughly.
Just as he was at his wit's end, someone came to report, "Admiral, a Mr. Shen from outside the city is here to visit. He claims to be the eldest brother of Shen Zhenyi, the Third Young Master Shen of the Abandoned Sword Villa."
What?
Yuan Yuzhen and Zhang Zhong looked at each other. Shen Zhenyi was already very troublesome, and now there was another brother?
