In truth, Zhang Xuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
He had never thought that the Skyleaf King would appear at this moment.
His arm was currently trapped in the seal, and he was unable to escape even if he wanted to … This was an indescribable awkwardness to him.
"Hi?" Hearing the other party's greeting, the Skyleaf King was taken aback.
Upon seeing him, not only did the other party not flee in fear, the other party even spoke in a bizarre language, leaving the Skyleaf King a little bewildered. However, in the blink of an eye, he came to a realization. "You are trapped in the seal? Hahaha, the heavens are really on my side … "
That fellow had caused him so much trouble, causing him, the number one King of the Qingtian Lineage, to be utterly humiliated. All along, he had been thinking of exacting vengeance on the other party. He had thought that the other party would hole up in his little nest and refuse to come out, but who could have known that the other party would come out on his own accord?
There was a path to the heavens, but you chose to barge into the gates of hell!
He had studied these seals for two whole years, and he knew that as long as one touched them, it would be impossible to pull one's arm out without obtaining the artifact. Judging from the other party's current state, it was clear that he was trying to retrieve the artifact, but he was trapped in the seal, unable to escape.
"Hahaha, since you are here, why don't you stay here?"
With glowing eyes, the Skyleaf King raised his hand, intending to grab the fellow before him.
"Wait a moment …"
Before the Skyleaf King could gather his zhenqi, the young man's voice sounded.
"Why? Are you begging for mercy? It's too late for that! "
Knowing that the fellow before him was a cunning fellow, the Skyleaf King formed a massive palm with his zhenqi, ready to strike at any moment.
As a Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm primary stage expert, the Skyleaf King wielded incredible strength. Putting aside Zhang Xuan, even if President Han and Wu Shi were to join forces, they would still be reduced to meat paste.
"Begging for mercy? You must be joking! Do you think that I will beg for mercy from a lowly fellow like you? Do you know who I am? "
Without the slightest hint of fear on his face, Zhang Xuan looked at Zhang Xuan with an imposing aura.
"Who are you? You are the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy! You are the only master teacher acknowledged by the entire Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy! As long as I devour you, I will surely be able to achieve a breakthrough and escape from this darned place! "
The Skyleaf King bellowed furiously.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had the ability to devour master teachers to raise their cultivation. Back then, Vicious' finger had borrowed the strength of the Emperor of the Cloudmist Mountain to kill master teachers, thus allowing him to regrow his flesh and blood.
The higher the rank of a master teacher and the greater the aptitude of a master teacher, the greater the effect it would have on one's cultivation. The Skyleaf King had long wanted to kill Zhang Xuan, so how could he possibly let Zhang Xuan off?
"Impudent!"
With a darkened face, Zhang Xuan drove the Heaven's Path zhenqi in his body and converted it into Zhenqi of Slaughter. In the blink of an eye, a majestic aura burst forth from his body. "I am …"
Crackle!
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, he suddenly felt a surge of electricity coming from the seal on his palm.
In the blink of an eye, his entire body was electrocuted black. His body stiffened, and his hair stood on end.
If not for the fact that his physical body had already reached the level of a Sage artifact, he would have died from that attack.
Zhang Xuan nearly burst into tears on the spot.
Was there a need to commit such a grave sin just to fool the Skyleaf King? To even be struck by lightning …
While Zhang Xuan was stifled, he also understood what was going on.
He had guessed that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe wouldn't be able to take away the artifacts, and from the looks of it, his guess was indeed correct!
When he converted his Heaven's Path zhenqi into Zhenqi of Slaughter, the formation thought that he had encountered an Otherworldly Demon and struck him with lightning … It was fortunate that he had realized that something was amiss and quickly converted his zhenqi back. Otherwise, no matter how powerful his physical body was, he would have surely lost his life there.
To survive the Skyleaf King's attack, he ended up being struck to death by the formation instead … If that were to happen, he would have truly embarrassed himself.
"You …"
The Skyleaf King was just about to make a move when he saw the charred face of Zhang Xuan, and he froze.
Even though the killing intent that the other party had emanated was weak, it was far purer than his. On top of that, he had been struck by the formation's lightning … could the person before him not be a master teacher but one of their own?
"Cough cough, you should know who I am now, right?"
Exhaling a mouthful of white smoke, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the Skyleaf King.
"You are an Otherworldly Demon as well?" The Skyleaf King frowned. A moment later, a glint flashed across his eyes. "No, that can't be. You are a master teacher, and you have received the acknowledgement of so many master teachers. How could you possibly be an Otherworldly Demon? I get it now. You must have killed the Scarletleaf King and the others and used a unique method to retain the Zhenqi of Slaughter in their bodies to fool me! Dream on! "
Hong long!
As the Skyleaf King spoke, the zhenqi in the air began flowing erratically once more. The powerful might of the Skyleaf King seemed to be on the verge of crushing the Skyleaf King.
As a Leaving Aperture realm expert, the Skyleaf King was clearly not as gullible as the other Kings.
While the Zhenqi of Slaughter was unique to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, the Skyleaf King could have easily killed the other Kings and used a unique method to gather the Zhenqi of Slaughter in his body to disguise himself as one of their own.
Back then, there was a master teacher who had done the same, and they had suffered greatly.
"Killed the Scarletleaf King? That was just a ploy to fool them. Take a look at who this is … "
Zhang Xuan raised his other hand, and a figure appeared before him.
The figure was tall and muscular. Upon seeing the Skyleaf King, he immediately smiled and said, "It's me …"
It was the Scarletleaf King!
"You are still alive?"
Seeing that the Scarletleaf King, who had been killed in the formation, was actually still alive, the Skyleaf King was a little taken aback.
What was going on?
Back then, when his fragmented soul was severely injured, he hadn't ventured too far away. He had seen the Scarletleaf King being trapped in the formation and killed on the spot … How could the Scarletleaf King still be alive?
"No, the Zhenqi of Slaughter in your body doesn't belong to the Scarletleaf King, and your cultivation … doesn't seem right either …"
After a moment of bewilderment, the Skyleaf King suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Even though the Scarletleaf King possessed the Zhenqi of Slaughter in his body, it felt ancient and distant, completely different from the cultivation technique that the Skyleaf King cultivated. More importantly … there seemed to be a gap in their cultivation as well. The Scarletleaf King was only at Nascent Saint pinnacle, a step away from reaching Saint realm.
The Scarletleaf King was a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert!
"In order to fool those master teachers, I ended up getting injured, so it goes without saying that my cultivation has been weakened. If you think that there is something wrong with me, I believe you should know him as well, right?"
The Scarletleaf King harrumphed coldly. Following which, the Skyleaf King's vision blurred, and a figure appeared before him. It was the missing Violetleaf King.
"Paying respects to the Skyleaf King!"
Upon seeing the Skyleaf King, the Violetleaf King hurriedly clasped his fist.
The Skyleaf King frowned.
There was nothing wrong with the Violetleaf King. Be it his zhenqi cultivation or soul aura, they were identical to the one he had seen before.
To release the Scarletleaf King and the Violetleaf King at the same time, could it be that … Zhang Xuan was really one of their tribesmen and not a master teacher?
He had killed the Kings on the surface, but in truth, he had saved them instead?
"Wait a moment … If you are really an Otherworldly Demon, why would you reveal my identity …" The Skyleaf King frowned.
He had hidden a sliver of his will within Jiang Yuan's body, and logically speaking, no one should have been able to notice it. Yet, this fellow had forcefully dragged him out, and on top of that, he had done so much damage to him!
If the other party was truly an Otherworldly Demon, how could he possibly have done such a thing?
One must know that he had hidden himself so deeply that even Feng Xun, who had been with him day and night, had failed to notice him.
"That is to gain the trust of the humans so that I can obtain the map!" Zhang Xuan shook his head with an earnest look on his face.
However, at the moment, he was charred black by the lightning. Even though he had a serious expression on his face, there was still a bizarre air about him.
"Obtain the map? You managed to obtain the map? "
The Skyleaf King was taken aback.
"Indeed, it is in my hands," Zhang Xuan replied with a nod. With a flick of his wrist, the map appeared in his palm, and it slowly floated in the air.
"It is indeed …"
Sensing the unique aura emanating from the ancient goatskin scroll that resonated with the Qiu Wu Palace, the Skyleaf King's eyes lit up.
He had obtained the introduction to the ancient domain, so he knew the appearance and aura of the real map. There was no doubt that the one before him was the real deal.
"Can I take a look at it?"
The Skyleaf King stretched out his hand in agitation.
Hu!
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan stowed the scroll into his storage ring. Shaking his head, he asked, "Do you know who I am now?"
"This …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had kept the map, the Skyleaf King was taken aback for a moment before frowning. "Who in the world are you?"
Judging from the other party's actions and aura, there was indeed a good chance that the other party was an Otherworldly Demon, but … why was he unable to recall anyone else in the Qingtian Lineage who possessed such pure Zhenqi of Slaughter?
"I can't tell you who I am at the moment, but you should know that I am a subordinate of the Qingtian Emperor."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually.
"A subordinate of the Qingtian Emperor?" the Skyleaf King asked as he assessed the fellow before him.
The zhenqi the other party exuded was pure, and he emanated the faint aura of a master teacher. No matter how he looked at it, the other party was completely unrelated to the Otherworldly Demon Tribe.
"Indeed. Alright, I will be taking this artifact away now. I will explain everything to you after I am done with it."
Seeing that the Skyleaf King was starting to believe him, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. With his other hand, he continued moving forward.
"You want to take the artifact away?"
The Skyleaf King was taken aback for a moment before a cold glint flashed across his eyes. "Trying to deceive me? Who in the world are you? "
"Deceive you? Why would the Skyleaf King say such a thing? "Not expecting the Skyleaf King to still not believe him, Zhang Xuan felt a headache coming on.
If it had been any other Kings, they would have surely been fooled by the Skyleaf King. Yet, the Skyleaf King refused to believe him at all.
"Even if I am unable to discern who you are, the formation left behind by Kong Shi will be able to. If our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe could deceive Kong Shi, we wouldn't be in such a disadvantageous position right now … "the Skyleaf King sneered coldly as he raised his palm once more. The zhenqi in his body surged furiously, ready to burst forth at any moment.
The fact that the Skyleaf King had only been electrocuted once after coming into contact with the seal meant that he was definitely not an Otherworldly Demonic Tribe cultivator.
"You …"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed anxiously.
"How is it? I have seen through your disguise, haven't I? Since that's the case, why don't you stay here?"
The Skyleaf King sneered coldly. Just as he was about to strike down, he suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his head, and 'peng!', his head exploded.
His body was sent flying, crashing into the wall not too far away as if a pile of mud.
The Scarletleaf King clapped his hands, and his body began squirming. In an instant, he morphed into the same form as Zhang Xuan.
"I told you that you should have just killed him with a single punch. Why did you have to spout so much nonsense?
