As soon as Zhang Xuan's Dominion appeared, it formed a sturdy armor around him. Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the other party's sword qi finally entered the range of Zhang Xuan's Dominion.
Tzzzzzzzzz!
As if a soldering iron falling into a block of ice, even though the sword qi's speed was hindered by Zhang Xuan's Dominion, it was still able to advance slowly.
"It seems like my Dominion isn't truly invincible. Even if my opponent's strength exceeds what I can withstand, it'll still be difficult for me to withstand it …"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
He had tried to subdue Jin Yuan Ding with his Dominion when he had just formed his Dominion, but the latter was only a Leaving Aperture realm advanced stage cultivator. Furthermore, he didn't specialize in offense, so he was able to subdue him easily. Now that Ji Lingfeng had consumed a Demonic Frenzy Breakthrough Pill and wielded a Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle sword, he was unable to withstand the might of Zhang Xuan's Dominion.
However, with the obstruction of Zhang Xuan's Dominion, your sword qi won't be able to harm me anymore!
Even though Ji Lingfeng was unable to withstand the attack, with the Dominion, it was impossible for the sword qi to harm him.
With a light harrumph, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Huala!
The sword qi that was slowly advancing dissipated in an instant.
While the block of ice was unable to withstand the heat of the soldering iron, it was still able to extinguish the heat of the sword qi, rendering it unable to advance any further.
No matter how powerful the other party's sword qi was, with the obstruction of Zhang Xuan's Dominion, its might had already dissipated. As if a soldering iron that had been frozen, it was no longer a threat.
"Since you're done with your attack, it's time for you to take a blow from me!"
After neutralizing the other party's sword qi, Zhang Xuan's body flickered.
Hu la!
With a leap of over a hundred meters, Zhang Xuan appeared behind Ji Lingfeng and launched a punch.
The river of stars reversed, and the river flowed in reverse. A ferocious might crushed down on Ji Lingfeng's back.
With Zhang Xuan's current strength, even without using the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel 2-dan, he was already on par with a Half-Grand Dominion realm expert. Even Yue Yiyi was no match for him, let alone Ji Lingfeng.
"Damn it!"
Not expecting the other party to be able to withstand his attack even after consuming a pill and exerting his full strength, Ji Lingfeng's face twisted as he turned his sword around to stab Zhang Xuan's back.
"What incredible reaction of the other party!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes widened in astonishment.
Zhang Xuan's thought, Zhang Xuan's Luo, as well as Zhang Xuan's Dominion.... but who could have known, of course, of course, of the battle?
As expected of someone who had fought in the black market. Even if he was in a passive position, he could still find an opportunity to turn the tables around.
Just like now, if his fist continued to move forward, he might be pierced by the sword before he could even hurt the other party.
"I'm also a veteran. Let's see who's more skilled!"
The blood in Zhang Xuan's heart was immediately aroused.
All this while, he had always been able to defeat his opponents in a single move. He could see through their flaws and crush them easily. He had never experienced a true battle of life and death.
Now that the other party had reacted so quickly, and his strength was similar to his, his desire to win was immediately aroused.
He turned his fist into a palm and lightly tapped forward.
Initially, Zhang Xuan was certain that he would be able to stab Zhang Xuan with his sword. However, after changing his stance, Zhang Xuan immediately placed his palm on the sword and continued forward.
Bang!
Ji Lingfeng's fingertip pierced into Ji Lingfeng's back, and he felt his entire body shudder violently. Many of his meridians were shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Borrowing the momentum, he charged forward, neutralizing most of the force. He hurriedly turned around and was just about to counterattack when he felt a chill run down his spine. He was fast, but Zhang Xuan was even faster.
As if a plaster, the other party stuck to his back. No matter how he turned around, he couldn't shake the other party off!
"What a bizarre movement technique …"
Ji Lingfeng kept thrusting his longsword backward, forming a protective circle. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
Just as Zhang Xuan had guessed, he had once participated in many Life-and-Death Duels in the black market while concealing his identity, and he had even won the title of Hundred Crowns. His fighting prowess was truly frightening!
In the same cultivation realm, even combat masters might not necessarily be a match for him.
The other party before him was so much weaker than him, and more importantly, he had even consumed the Insane Demon Breakthrough Pill. Yet, he was still being pummeled to the point of spurting blood …
Wasn't the other party a little too powerful?
"It won't be easy for me to kill you, but it won't be that easy for you to kill me either …"
Ji Lingfeng's eyes glinted as he drove his sword forward. At the same time, he formed a series of hand seals with his left hand and tapped lightly.
Sou sou sou sou!
Hundreds of cold needles shot forth from behind him, reminiscent of a storm.
Torrential Pear Blossom Needles!
In order to remain undefeated in the Life-and-Death Duel, one had to possess incredible fighting prowess and ferocity. More importantly, one had to possess all kinds of killing means.
The Torrential Pear Blossom Needles was his trump card. Every single needle was forged using unique materials. Not only were they able to pierce through the skin of a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert, they also harnessed lethal poison that could instantly kill a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert!
Who knew how many experts had fallen to this move?
Huala!
After releasing the hidden weapons, Ji Lingfeng dashed forward and finally shook off the other party's pursuit. Turning around, he glanced at the young man before him, and his eyes narrowed in astonishment.
The light around the other party's body flickered once more, and countless needles fell into the other party's palm. The other party was toying with them one by one out of curiosity.
"You are courting death!"
Seeing the other party's actions, Ji Lingfeng clenched his fists tightly in agitation.
The lethal poison on the needles was something that he had forged using the help of a Seven Star pinnacle poison master. There was no need for the needles to pierce through one's body. As long as one's skin came into contact with the needles, one would be poisoned to death!
Yet, the other party was toying with the needles … He must be tired of living!
Just as he thought that the other party would surely be poisoned and fall to the ground at any moment, the young man glanced at him and shook his head in disappointment.
"The level of refinement of this poison is too low. You've probably been fooled. It's fine for scaring people, but there's no way it can poison people to death!"
After saying this, he deliberately pinched the tip of the needle.
"You knew that there was poison on this?" Ji Lingfeng's pupils constricted.
The lethal poison concocted by a Seven Star Poison Master is colorless and odorless, making it impossible for an ordinary person to notice it. Yet, the other party was able to see through it with just a single needle … How in the world did he see through it?
"If I still can't identify such an obvious poison, there's no need for me to live anymore …"
With a sigh, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the needles that he had grasped earlier pierced forward like a torrential storm.
Even though he had never specialized in the art of assassination, he had learned many battle techniques in the Combat Master Hall, so it wasn't too difficult for him to wield a few needles.
Wu wu wu!
With the support of his power, the thin needle moved as fast as lightning, arriving in front of Ji Lingfeng in the blink of an eye.
Knowing that it was poisoned, Zhang Xuan dared not take the attack head-on. He flicked his sword and drew an arc in front of him.
Ding ding dang dang!
As expected of the boss of Qianchong Empire's black market, his mastery of swordsmanship was truly astounding. At the very least, he had reached Upper Sword Heart. With a burst of sword qi, the countless thin needles were deflected and fell to the ground.
"You want to hurt me with my assassination weapons? Dream on!"
Ji Lingfeng harrumphed coldly. But before he could finish his words, his vision blurred, and Zhang Xuan had already appeared right before him, sending a palm right toward him.
At the same time that the other party had launched his assassination weapons, the other party had actually closed the distance between them once more.
"You …" Ji Lingfeng's face turned livid. He wanted to retaliate, but it was already too late.
Pah!
A searing pain burst from his face, and he was immediately sent flying. A sweet sensation filled his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
The other party had used all of his strength in that slap. If not for the pills that he had consumed and raised his cultivation, his head would have already exploded.
Even so, he still felt a bout of dizziness in his head, threatening to faint at any moment.
"Damn it!"
Ji Lingfeng's body trembled in frenzy.
He had lived for several centuries, but to think that he would be humiliated twice in a row, both times at the hands of a single person. The immense humiliation left him on the verge of exploding.
"I'll kill you!"
Roaring furiously, Ji Lingfeng's zhenqi surged furiously, and he prepared to charge forward at any moment. However, before he could make a move, he suddenly saw a playful smile on the young man's face.
"I advise you not to move or drive your zhenqi for the time being. Otherwise, you might just die even faster."
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing the other party's fearless attitude, Ji Lingfeng narrowed his eyes.
"Nothing much. While I was slapping you earlier, I accidentally inserted two needles into your face."
Zhang Xuan replied nonchalantly.
"Needles?" Ji Lingfeng's body stiffened. Only then did he realize that there were two needles in his face. Due to the vicious slap, he hadn't noticed them at all.
"The antidote …"
Pulling out the needles, Ji Lingfeng hurriedly flicked his wrist and took out a pill before swallowing it.
He had personally witnessed the prowess of the poison within the needles. A Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle cultivator wouldn't even last three breaths before dying. Even though he had consumed the pill and raised his cultivation significantly, he still wouldn't be able to last more than ten seconds before the poison.
"Consuming the antidote now might save you from death, but if I'm not mistaken, the poison will paralyze your body for a short period of time. You weren't a match for me even when you were at your peak, so how can you possibly withstand my poison now?"
With a light chuckle, Zhang Xuan slowly walked over, raised his palm, and pressed down lightly.
Kacha!
A powerful might fell on Ji Lingfeng, and he felt all of his bones shattering in an instant. His entire body collapsed to the ground.
The other party was right. He wasn't a match for the other party even when he was at his peak, and now that he was poisoned, how could he possibly withstand the other party's might?
"What other trump cards do you have? Bring them out now! If that's all you have, don't you think that it's a little laughable that you want to kill me? "
Pinned to the ground, Ji Lingfeng couldn't move at all. Zhang Xuan looked at Ji Lingfeng leisurely.
The two of them had already crossed blows back at the black market, and the other party knew that he had over a hundred puppets and sabers. Yet, the other party still dared to launch a sneak attack on him, declaring that he would kill him. If the other party was only relying on a single pill and a single sword, that would be a little too much.
"As expected of a master teacher, you are indeed a smart one … But smart people tend to die young!"
Spurting another mouthful of blood, Ji Lingfeng's face regained its savageness. With a flick of his wrist, the sword immediately flew into the river not too far away.
"Since I've already given you the sword, it's time for you to make a move!"
Following which, Zhang Xuan saw the surface of the river suddenly bubbling.
A powerful surge of energy gushed into the river, reminiscent of the birth of a sharp sword. Following which, an old man slowly rose from the churning water.
Step by step, the old man walked into the air, reminiscent of a deity.
"It's no wonder why Ji Lingfeng wants to kill you.
You're really something else. "The old man chuckled coldly." However, since you've met me, you can die now. "
Huala!
Right after saying those words, the old man used his finger as a sword, and a sharp glint of sword qi pierced through the air.
