"Tsk tsk … … You can't dodge my attack. After I'm done playing with you, I'll crush your heart." Ximen coldly laughed. After clenching his fist, he attacked Zhou Yang once again.
Zhou Yang's heart was filled with trepidation as he silently mused that this elder generation expert wasn't someone the younger generation could compare to. Although his Astral Souls and treasures were far inferior compared to the genius disciples, his combat prowess was extraordinary.
Especially his combat experience. During the battle, it was as though Ximen could predict every move he made.
As he thought of this, he decisively released his Magma Titan Astral Soul.
"Magma Titan Astral Soul is indeed a good item, but I, Ximen, have no fear."
Ximen coldly laughed as the shadow of a gigantic tiger appeared behind him.
"ROAR!"
With a deafening roar, the gigantic tiger merged with Ximen's body, transforming into a beast.
However, Zhou Yang wasn't surprised. He was very clear that beast-type Astral Souls could undergo beast transformation after they fused with one another. However, this transformation didn't require one to possess a true beast's body, but rather, it was formed by condensing the energy of Heaven and Earth.
"Haha … … Zhou Yang, although my talent is inferior to yours and my Astral Soul is only a high-grade one, my Astral Soul fusion rate has already reached 99%. No matter how strong your Astral Soul is, it's impossible for you to be my opponent."
A hoarse voice rang out from the gigantic tiger's body as it pounced towards Zhou Yang.
BOOM!
The immense force caused Zhou Yang's body to collapse. After transforming into a gigantic tiger, Ximen's strength wasn't any weaker than his.
"GO TO HELL, ZHOU YANG!"
At this moment, Ximen opened his bloody mouth and bit down on Zhou Yang's neck.
Kacha!
With a crisp sound, fresh blood flowed out from the bite, but Zhou Yang's lips curled into a strange smile. Silver scales completely covered his neck.
"The one who should die is you."
With a boom, Ximen, who had transformed into a gigantic tiger, was blasted away by the immense force. When he landed on the ground, blood flowed unceasingly from his mouth. Of the two originally majestic fangs, only one remained, while the other was broken into two.
"Your … … your body … …"
The gigantic tiger retreated several steps. The intense pain from his mouth told him that the blood earlier wasn't Zhou Yang's, but his own.
Such sharp fangs were actually broken by Zhou Yang's flesh. This body … …
"Do you think you're the only one who can shapeshift?"
Laughing coldly, Zhou Yang's body also started to transform. Under the fearful gaze of the huge tiger, a silver-white Qilin suddenly appeared.
"What is this …" Ximen was terrified.
Whoosh …
Blue flames surrounded his body, and in the next moment, Zhou Yang flew out and pounced on the giant tiger. He was so fast that he was like a gust of wind.
In an instant, the Qilin's True Body pounced on the Giant Tiger and bit it in front of the Giant Tiger's terrified eyes.
Kacha …
This time, it wasn't the sound of teeth breaking, but the sound of the tiger's neck being bitten off.
Soon, the giant tiger's figure disappeared, and Ximen's true body appeared. His neck was already broken, and he was only left with one breath.
"You … what exactly are you? How can you transform into a beast even without an Astral Soul?"
"I am an existence that you will never know."
A deep voice came out from Zhou Yang's mouth. Then, he opened his mouth wide.
Boom …
A terrifying blue flame shot out, instantly incinerating Ximen. Not even a strand of his hair was left.
"Too weak …"
After returning to his human form, Zhou Yang shook his head. Although Ximen had a lot of battle experience and was much stronger than the Peak Lord's disciples, he was still unable to put up any resistance against the Qilin True Form. As a result, the fight ended in just one round.
This made him very disappointed.
"It seems like I have to find a stronger opponent to test the combat power of my Qilin's True Body."
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Lan attached itself to his back.
"It's already the seventh day. I have to find the Mizar Sword as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, he rushed towards the Seven Stars Cave.
The Seven Stars Cave was the deepest part of the Sword Catacomb. However, this area was covered by a large amount of fog, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to enter.
Outside the fog, there was a valley. The valley was flat, and there were plants growing on it.
This was the only place in the Sword Catacomb that was green.
Outside the valley, Zhou Yang looked at the scene inside through the natural stone door. Even though he was standing outside the valley, he could already feel the pressing aura of the Mizar Sword that was like the sun.
"This is too much. Why should we go out?"
Just as Zhou Yang was about to enter the valley, he saw a group of three disciples walking out. When they saw Zhou Yang, they stopped chatting.
"You guys …"
"Zhou Yang, although we are disciples of the Morning Sun Peak, we have no grudges with you …" The three of them took a few steps back in fear.
"Senior Brothers, I just want to ask about the situation inside. Who let you out?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Senior Brother … You call us Senior Brother …" The three disciples all had a trace of surprise on their faces.
Zhou Yang didn't say anything. Calling them Senior Brothers was just a courtesy. He couldn't be arrogant when he had questions to ask.
One of them stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, the person who drove us out was Sword Master's disciple, Zhou Aotian."
"Zhou Aotian … Why didn't they let you in?"
"Hmph, too selfish. The Mizar Sword belongs to the Tiangang Sword Sect, not just him. We just wanted to observe from afar, but they didn't let us."
"That's right. Zhou Aotian and Nangong Ying had people bet on the entrance. They didn't allow anyone to enter. Even Gai Yang from your Heavy Sword Peak is arguing with them."
Zhou Yang nodded and thanked them before entering the valley.
"This Zhou Yang doesn't seem as ferocious and arrogant as he looks."
"That's right. He's also a Sword Master, but he's much kinder than Zhou Aotian and the others."
"The other Sword Masters view us like ants. Who would thank us? Zhou Yang looks ruthless, but he's a person who can distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He's a true Sword Master's disciple."
"Why don't we go in and take a look?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They immediately turned around and followed Zhou Yang into the valley.
At the entrance of the valley, Zhou Yang saw dozens of disciples surrounding Gai Yang, Boulder, and the others from a distance.
"Gai Yang, hurry up and leave. If Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Nangong come out later, it'll be difficult for you to leave." The one who spoke was Cao Ming, a former Heavy Sword Peak disciple.
"Cao Ming, I don't want to argue with you. Hurry up and tell Zhou Aotian to come out. I want to know why he won't let me in," Gai Yang said angrily.
"Haha … Gai Yang, who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell Senior Brother Zhou to come out?" Cao Ming laughed disdainfully.
"What about me?"
An indifferent voice came from behind Gai Yang. Cao Ming's laughter suddenly stopped, and fear appeared in his eyes.
It was Zhou Yang.
