Otherwise, how could he have disguised himself as an Otherworldly Demon and forced the Stoneleaf King and Jadeleaf King to kill one another? If he were to explain the matter to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, he would be in even greater trouble!
Therefore, the fastest way to deal with it was to knock it out.
There was no need for explanation, and it was fast. It was simple and effective. As for the bricks, they were everywhere, so it was easy to pick them up.
Lowering his head to take a look, he saw Feng Xun lying on the ground with his thighs twitching uncontrollably. Even before he fainted, he could hardly believe that he, a Thousand Men Commander of the Combat Master Hall, had been knocked out time and time again. Each time, it was easier and more humiliating than the last.
Ignoring him, Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at the two fighting in the sky, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
In the next moment, the Jadeleaf King's Primordial Spirit was drawn out from his body, and his fighting prowess was enhanced significantly. The Stoneleaf King, who had the upper hand a moment ago, was being pummeled beyond recognition. Even his invincible physical body was riddled with wounds. One of his arms had been severed, and the Lightning Elemental Orb had fallen to the ground. Fresh blood flowed freely from the wound, and his face was pale.
It seemed like Zhang Xuan had already realized that the latter was no match for him without the help of the Sea of Lightning Formation. Thus, he formed his Primordial Spirit and severed the Lightning Elemental Orb that was controlling the core of the formation. This way, without the support of the Sea of Lightning Formation, he would only be able to take a beating passively.
"Let's all die together …"
The Stoneleaf King knew that he was no longer a match for Zhang Xuan. With a furious roar, he activated his secret art and summoned his Primordial Spirit.
However, his strength was far beneath that of the Jadeleaf King. As long as the Jadeleaf King's Primordial Spirit was able to find a suitable physical body within a short period of time, he would still be able to survive. On the other hand, the only fate awaiting him was death.
Rumble!
The battle between the two Primordial Spirits became increasingly intense, and their strength also grew stronger. The surrounding space was sealed. Zhang Xuan looked around and shook his head helplessly.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Zhang Xuan to escape. If he were to hide in the Myriad Anthive Nest, the Myriad Anthive Nest would not be able to conceal itself, and it would be discovered. At that time, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar.
"If the Stoneleaf King were to win, things would be much simpler. Since he has drunk my wine, I can just poison him to death. However, if the Jadeleaf King were to win, I would be in deep trouble …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Even if they wanted to interfere in a battle of this level, they would be powerless. If they really stepped in, they would definitely be killed on the spot.
If the Stoneleaf King were to win, he would still have the upper hand in the battle. However, if the Jadeleaf King were to win, the Jadeleaf King would have ended up in such a miserable state. If things were to go wrong, the Jadeleaf King might just kill him …
Raising his head once more, he saw that the Stoneleaf King, who had reverted to his Primordial Spirit form, was forced into a disadvantageous position. From the looks of it, it was only a matter of time before the Stoneleaf King lost.
"I miscalculated …"
The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched.
As expected of the third strongest expert. Even though the Stoneleaf King had mastered the lightning formation, he was still the one who had the last laugh.
"What should I do?"
Seeing that the people above were unable to hold on any longer, Zhang Xuan was at a loss as to what to do. All of a sudden, he caught sight of a figure.
While the Jadeleaf King's Primordial Spirit had left his body, his physical body remained motionless, as if his soul had left his body.
"By the way, doesn't he like to project his primordial spirit out of his body? Hehe, let's do it this way … "
With a light chuckle, he walked up to the Jadeleaf King's body.
It had to be said that the Jadeleaf King's Broken Jade Art was indeed fearsome. His body was as resilient as a piece of jade. Even though there was still a gap between him and the Stoneleaf King, it was still a fearsome feat.
Taking out the Glacier Rain Sword, Zhang Xuan struck the Jadeleaf King's Broken Jade Art with all his might, but he was unable to break the Jadeleaf King's body.
After which, he shook his head.
The Jadeleaf King's body was as tough as a piece of jade. With his current cultivation, he was unable to infuse his zhenqi into the Jadeleaf King's body, so he was unable to form any lethal poison.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and a pile of scorching lava appeared above him.
Previously, when he was passing through the lava, he had not only tempered his soul, he had also secretly stored some of it in his storage ring. He had thought that it would be of great use in smithing in the future, and this was a good opportunity for him to put it to good use.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan tossed the lava toward the Jadeleaf King.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
As soon as the lava came into contact with the Jadeleaf King's body, a deafening corrosive sound immediately echoed in the air. The Jadeleaf King's body, which even the Glacier Rain Sword was unable to slice through, melted like molten metal.
"Not bad …"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
To be honest, even if he had stored the lava in his storage ring, it wouldn't have lasted long before it cooled down. Thus, it was best to use it now.
As powerful as the Jadeleaf King's physical body was, it was still far from being able to withstand the heat of a hundred meters of lava.
"You …"
The Jadeleaf King, who was still in the midst of burning the Jadeleaf King's body, noticed the commotion, and he nearly spurted blood.
As a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert, even though he had inflicted great damage to his body through the use of a secret art, as long as his physical body remained intact, he would still be able to survive even if his cultivation were to plummet. Yet … his physical body was being burned away …
This was as good as having his lair destroyed … Even if he wanted to return, he wouldn't be able to!
"Damn it …"
The Jadeleaf King gritted his teeth so tightly that they were about to shatter. In that moment of distraction, the Stoneleaf King made use of this opportunity to launch a few sneak attacks, nearly causing his Primordial Spirit to dissipate.
"I'll deal with you first before dealing with that fellow …"
Furious, the Jadeleaf King knew that it would be impossible for him to deal with the Violetleaf King if he didn't kill the other party. Thus, he charged forward once more.
Boom boom boom boom!
The world rumbled, and the spiritual energy within a radius of several dozen li was disrupted. Not too long later, the Stoneleaf King's Primordial Spirit dissipated, and his physical body collapsed heavily onto the ground, dead.
While one's Primordial Spirit could survive, one's physical body would perish.
Once one's Primordial Spirit dissipated, it would be equivalent to one's soul dissipating into nothingness.
The reason why the Stoneleaf King was ranked fourth among the Five Upper Kings was due to his powerful physical body and invincible defense. On the other hand, his Primordial Spirit was slightly weaker than the Jadeleaf King's.
However, given the situation back then, he had no choice but to use his Primordial Spirit. His physical body had been severed by the Jadeleaf King's Primordial Spirit, and the injuries he had sustained were simply too severe. If he didn't use a secret art, he would have been killed.
It was just a matter of time.
"It's your turn now …"
After killing the Stoneleaf King, the Jadeleaf King suddenly recalled how his body had been reduced to cinders a moment ago, and rage welled up within him. Roaring furiously, he charged toward Zhang Xuan.
"Since you killed me, I'll kill that Celestial Master Teacher! As long as he's still alive, with the countless rewards from our clan, it won't be too difficult for you to possess a new body and recover your strength … "
Zhang Xuan hurriedly grabbed Feng Xun and used him as a shield.
At this point, he could only hope that the Jadeleaf King would hold back for a moment.
The Jadeleaf King gritted his teeth furiously. If he could, he would have skinned the young man before him alive. However, the other party was right. If the Celestial Master Teacher were to die … all of their efforts would have been in vain.
"Do you think that I will still believe you?"
The Jadeleaf King glared at Zhang Xuan coldly, as if he was looking at a dead man.
If not for this fellow, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state after fighting with the Stoneleaf King. In any case … from now onward, he wouldn't believe a single word that the other party said, not even the punctuation marks!
Grabbing Feng Xun by the neck, Zhang Xuan looked at the Jadeleaf King impassively. "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, but if that fellow dies, you won't be able to obtain anything at all …"
"I won't be able to obtain anything if he dies, but without my physical body, I won't be able to live for long either. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well drag you down with me!"
The Jadeleaf King roared.
If he had reached Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm, he might have been able to survive if his Primordial Spirit were to leave his body on its own. However … if he were to use a secret art to do so, his Primordial Spirit would be severely damaged. If he didn't find a new body to enter, it wouldn't be long before he died.
Just like an unborn child, a baby would be born after ten months of gestation. If one were to forcefully make a Caesarean before the time was ripe, it would be detrimental to both the baby and the adult.
Such was the case with Primordial Spirits.
Half-Leaving Aperture realm cultivators had already opened their Primordial Spirit acupoints, but they were still unable to leave their bodies. It wasn't that they were unable to do so, but that their Primordial Spirits weren't strong enough.
Forcefully making a Caesarean attempt would result in the destruction of one's physical body. if one didn't find a new body to nourish one's Primordial Spirit, one's Primordial Spirit would gradually be worn down until one died.
It was just that the duration of a soul oracle was much shorter.
"Don't worry, who says that you can't survive without your physical body? Don't you have the body of the Stoneleaf King? You can enter his body! "
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"You …"
The Jadeleaf King's eyes were as cold as ice. "The Stoneleaf King's cultivation technique is different from mine. If I forcefully enter his body, even if I manage to survive, I will be tortured every single day …"
"This …"
Zhang Xuan stroked his lower jaw in astonishment. "That will be a little difficult …"
Even though he didn't know much about Primordial Spirits, he had inherited the heritage of the soul oracles, so he knew that the Jadeleaf King was right.
Entering the Stoneleaf King's body would indeed allow him to survive for the time being, but due to the difference in his constitution and cultivation technique, his fighting prowess would be severely affected as well.
"Right!"
Not too long later, Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead, as if recalling something. "I remember now! This is a puppet forged by me, so its cultivation technique won't clash with yours. Why don't you enter it to recuperate for the time being? Once you bring the Celestial Master Teacher back to the tribe and receive the reward, you will be able to strengthen your Primordial Spirit … It doesn't matter whether you have a physical body or not!"
"A puppet?" The Jadeleaf King frowned.
"That's right …" Zhang Xuan nodded. With a flick of his wrist, a towering Otherworldly Demon puppet appeared before his eyes.
It was one of the puppets he had brought out from the underground chamber. After some adjustments to its structure, it possessed the strength of a Saint 3-dan cultivator.
"This puppet is forged from the physical body of an ordinary tribesman, so it doesn't possess any elemental attribute.
The Jadeleaf King took a look at it and hesitated for a moment.
The puppet before him was forged from the physical body of an ordinary tribesman, and it was driven by absorbing spiritual energy. Even though its cultivation was low, it was much more compatible with the puppet than the Stoneleaf King.
This would allow him to exert greater fighting prowess.
"To be honest, it's useless for you to hate me. The one who wants you dead is the Stoneleaf King, not me. Given my current strength, I won't be able to make a move on you even if I wanted to!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I have spent a great deal of effort to forge this puppet, and I intend to use it as my clone in the future. I will give it to you for now. You should make do with it for the time being, and things will be much easier once we reach the tribe … "
As he spoke, he patted the puppet's body, seemingly reluctant to part with it, as if he was dusting off the dust on it.
