It would already be difficult for Zhang Xuan to defeat a single Qingtian Emperor, let alone two of them. Thus, Zhang Xuan decided to proceed with caution. First, he hid his clone in his storage ring and placed it at a certain location before retreating backward. He wanted to feign weakness so as to lure the Qingtian Emperor to the location he had calculated beforehand.
In the end, he pretended to self-detonate in order to distract the two of them. Only then did his clone succeed in its sneak attack.
It sounded simple, but in truth, it involved a lot of things. What move should he use, how far should he run, where should he stop … from which angle should his clone launch a sneak attack so that it would not be discovered …
Due to his meticulous calculations, as well as the fact that his clone had been cultivating for a period of time, his pure physical prowess was even greater than that of the main body. Thus, he was able to succeed in his plan.
Otherwise, with just him and Jin Yuan Ding, it was impossible for them to win.
"Damn it …"
Following which, Zhang Xuan heard a furious roar, and two souls flew out from the corpses. Following which, two souls flew out from the corpses and fell to the ground.
The Primordial Spirit of the Qingtian Emperor!
This guy's physical body was split, and his primordial spirit was actually split into two as well.
Rumble!
As soon as the primordial spirit appeared, the surrounding space became even more solidified, as if it had fallen into a reverse current. Not to mention moving forward, it was extremely difficult to even maintain one's original position.
Without the shackles of his physical body, his Primordial Spirit became even more powerful. It seemed like he could unleash even greater combat prowess.
Whoosh!
Being attracted, the two Primordial Spirits slowly fused together in the air, forming a new one.
It seemed like even though Zhang Xuan was able to split himself into two with his Primordial Spirit, it would still be difficult for him to maintain his original form should his physical body be destroyed.
"I want you dead …"
With a livid face, the Qingtian Emperor roared furiously as he charged forward to grab Zhang Xuan once more. "Hahaha!
He was an Emperor of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and yet, not only did he fail to kill the other party, he even ended up destroying his physical body. He felt so stifled that he could explode on the spot.
Previously, it was only because his plan had been foiled and his subordinate had died that he wanted to kill the other party to preserve his dignity. However, at this very moment, it was impossible for him to live under the same sky as the other party.
"You said you wanted me dead just now … I'm still alive and well. Stop shouting, catch me first …"
In the face of the other party's threat, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly. Not only did he not dodge, but he also rushed toward the other party's palm.
Sizzle!
As soon as the massive palm of the Qingtian Emperor's Primordial Spirit came into contact with Zhang Xuan's body, a sizzling sound echoed in the air, as if metal coming into contact with sulfuric acid. In the blink of an eye, a massive hole had appeared in the palm.
"Ah …"
With a cry of agony, the Qingtian Emperor hurriedly retracted his hand as he stared at Zhang Xuan in disbelief. "Y-you …"
Previously, when he still had his physical body, he had pummeled the other party to the point where he could only flee. Now that he was only left with his Primordial Spirit, the other party should have been even more fearful of him. How could it have ended up like this? Instead, it was his own Primordial Spirit that had corroded away.
"I might not be able to deal with other Leaving Aperture realm experts, but I have plenty of ways to deal with you …"
Paying no heed to the other party's shock, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as his zhenqi gushed out, filling the entire hall.
Against other Primordial Spirits, with his current strength, he would only be able to passively take a beating. However, the other party was a soul oracle, a Primordial Spirit formed through the power of a soul oracle... The Heaven's Path zhenqi just so happened to be the bane of the other party!
As long as he released the Heaven's Path zhenqi, no matter how powerful the other party was, he would not be able to withstand it!
It was just like smashing sulfuric acid with a metal hammer. No matter how powerful the Heaven's Path zhenqi was, as long as it came in contact with just a little sulfuric acid, it would eventually corrode his Primordial Spirit completely.
"Damn it!"
The Qingtian Emperor exclaimed in rage.
At this moment, he finally realized that under the other party's meticulous scheming, he, who had the upper hand all this while, had been forced into a passive position.
The Qingtian Emperor's face paled as he stared at the zhenqi in the surroundings.
As a Leaving Aperture realm advanced stage expert, he could clearly sense that the zhenqi in the surroundings was the bane of his existence. If he were to charge right into it, he would only grow weaker and weaker.
"If you want to kill me, I'll drag you down with me!"
The Qingtian Emperor roared furiously as he raised his hand to grab Zhang Xuan.
Since the other party's zhenqi was able to corrode his Primordial Spirit, even if it meant that his Primordial Spirit would be completely corroded, he would have to kill the other party first!
At most, he would just have to die together with him!
Hong long!
Exerting his full strength, the Qingtian Emperor's might was no weaker than when he was in his physical form. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan felt as if he had fallen into a swamp once more.
"A centipede won't fall over even after death … As expected of the Qingtian Emperor, you're indeed formidable!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head as he opened up all of his acupoints. Driving his zhenqi furiously, he tore open the sealed space around him once more. Without using any battle technique, he simply raised his palm and sent a palm strike toward the Qingtian Emperor.
No matter what, the Qingtian Emperor was a Leaving Aperture realm advanced stage expert who had undergone three lightning tribulations. With his current strength, he would not be able to kill him that easily.
Geji! Geji!
Zhang Xuan gathered his zhenqi to form a palm print in the air, and as soon as it came into contact with the Qingtian Emperor's Primordial Spirit, a sizzling sound echoed in the air.
"Ahhh!"
With a cry of agony, the Qingtian Emperor's Primordial Spirit shrank significantly.
"Damn it!"
The Qingtian Emperor roared furiously. Knowing that it was impossible for him to kill the other party with his spatial seal, he swiftly retreated several dozen meters away before pointing his finger at the other party.
With his powerful control over his Primordial Spirit, even if the Qingtian Emperor's zhenqi were to land on him, it would be futile at such a distance.
Weng!
The Qingtian Emperor gathered the zhenqi from his finger together and shot toward the Qingtian Emperor at lightning speed.
Peng!
As expected, Zhang Xuan was struck squarely in the chest and was sent flying.
Using the same method, Zhang Xuan sent his clone flying as well.
Without his Heaven's Path zhenqi, it would not be easy for him to kill a Leaving Aperture realm advanced stage expert like the Qingtian Emperor.
As expected of an old monster who has lived for countless years … You sure are experienced in battle. To be able to see through my problem with just a glance, Zhang Xuan thought.
Seeing how Zhang Xuan was able to discern the problem with him so quickly and find a solution to it, Zhang Xuan swiftly drove his zhenqi to heal his injuries.
He had thought that with the Heaven's Path zhenqi, he would be able to kill the other party easily, but from the looks of it, that would not be the case.
The Heaven's Path zhenqi was the nemesis of soul oracles, but as long as the Qingtian Emperor was able to widen the distance between them, the concentration of his zhenqi would weaken. Even if he could defeat the Qingtian Emperor, it would take a huge toll on his zhenqi, and he might even run out of zhenqi.
If he were to run out of zhenqi before even meeting Vicious, it would not be worth it.
"What should we do?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little troubled. However, there wasn't enough time for him to think about it. The Qingtian Emperor roared once more as he tapped another finger in Zhang Xuan's direction.
Wu wu wu!
A tremendous force tore through the air, as if it was going to pierce through it.
Just as he was about to counterattack, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Smiling faintly, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist.
An altar fell to the ground.
He gently stroked it with his palm.
Hula!
The formation inscriptions on it immediately came to life, and a powerful suction force gushed toward the Qingtian Emperor.
"Hmm? This is the altar that I set up in Qingyuan City … "
Attracted by the energy, the Qingtian Emperor's Primordial Spirit took a closer look, and he immediately recognized what it was.
It was none other than the altar that his clone had set up in Qingyuan City to slay master teachers and capture their souls … Who could have thought that the other party would actually carry it around with him and activate it to deal with him?
The formation required the killing intent of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe to activate, and the formation was extremely complicated as well. Even he would have to pay a heavy price and expend a huge amount of energy just to activate it … How in the world did that fellow manage to do it?
"He's using his own zhenqi …"
Taking a closer look, the Qingtian Emperor's eyebrows shot up.
To think that the other party would actually use his own zhenqi to fuel the altar … How much zhenqi did he have to possess to be so extravagant?
Just as the Qingtian Emperor thought that the other party would not be able to hold on for long, he suddenly felt the suction force growing stronger and stronger. His Primordial Spirit staggered, and eventually, he lost control of his body and was pulled toward the altar.
The altar harnessed the secret art of Vicious, and it exerted a powerful suction force on one's soul. If he still had his physical body, he might still have been able to withstand the suction force. However, with only his Primordial Spirit left, there was no way he could withstand the suction force anymore.
Just as he was trying to figure out a way to break free from the suction force, the two Zhang Xuan suddenly charged at him simultaneously and began pummeling him.
Palm strikes, fist strikes, kicks … In the blink of an eye, all of the moves that the Qingtian Emperor could execute had landed on his body.
"Damn it!"
The Qingtian Emperor bellowed furiously as he drove his zhenqi to its limits. It took him a great deal of effort to break free from the suction force of the altar and reach for the other party.
However, before his attack could even reach the other party, the two Zhang Xuan simultaneously dashed to a location a hundred meters away.
The Qingtian Emperor lowered his head, intending to destroy the altar, only to realize that the other party had already placed it into his storage ring.
With a livid face, the Qingtian Emperor charged forward to kill the other party, but the altar suddenly appeared in the distance once more, exerting a powerful suction force on him.
Huala!
Once more, he was pulled toward the altar, but he was still unable to move. The two Zhang Xuan charged forward once more and pummeled him once more.
"I swear that I'll kill you!"
Furious, the Qingtian Emperor struggled to break free from the altar once more, only to find that the two fellows had already fled even further away to activate the altar once more.
Padah!
Once more, he was pulled toward the altar and pummeled once more.
This repeated several times, and the Qingtian Emperor's Primordial Spirit gradually grew smaller and weaker.
"How can you be so shameless?"
Knowing that he would collapse at any moment, the Qingtian Emperor burst into tears.
He had seen many formidable master teachers, but he had never seen such a shameless master teacher before …
