The power that appeared in the hall showed no mercy at all. If he did not dodge, he would be killed on the spot.
Knowing that he couldn't afford to waste any time, Zhang Jiuxiao took a deep breath and swiftly retreated.
Peng!
His back crashed into the door, and only then did he realize that the door he had just opened had already closed. Furthermore, there was a seal on it. Even with his full might as a Dimension Sundering realm primary stage cultivator, the door wasn't damaged at all.
"This is bad …"
Zhang Jiuxiao's face turned livid. Knowing that it was already too late for him to dodge, he flicked his wrist and sent a palm strike forward.
Hong long!
Zhang Jiuxiao's palm strike collided head-on with the palm strike.
Kacha!
Zhang Jiuxiao tasted something sweet in his throat, and he felt a stifling sensation in his chest. The injuries that he had sustained from the lightning tribulation earlier were torn apart, and a searing pain burst through his body.
"Dimension Sundering realm primary stage?"
However, in this exchange, Zhang Jiuxiao was able to gauge the strength of the other party. The other party was at Dimension Sundering realm primary stage as well.
"Humph!"
Since the other party was at the same cultivation realm, there was nothing for Zhang Jiuxiao to fear. He curled his body into a ball and leaped into the air. At the same time, he launched a flurry of palm strikes.
Hula!
The air was filled with palm winds, and the vigorous power descended like a storm. The compressed air gave off a series of explosive sounds.
Even though Zhang Jiuxiao had just reached Dimension Sundering realm, his Primordial Spirit had experienced the Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle back in the Blood Reservoir, so he wasn't unfamiliar with it. Zhang Jiuxiao swiftly executed the might of the Dimension Sundering realm.
Boom boom boom!
Zhang Jiuxiao's reaction was swift, but the other party was even faster. The other party managed to fend off all of Zhang Jiuxiao's attacks, leaving him unharmed.
However, while Zhang Jiuxiao was still in midair, he was finally able to see the appearance of the other party.
The other party was dressed in a loose robe, making it impossible to discern his physique. At the same time, there was a unique mask on his face that prevented him from seeing through his Spiritual Perception.
"Who are you? Why would you be in the First Elder's residence? "
Zhang Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes.
Hu!
Instead of replying to his question, the other party sent another palm strike toward Zhang Jiuxiao.
The other party's palm strike didn't seem to carry much strength, but Zhang Jiuxiao still felt a strong sense of danger.
Knowing that this was the first expert he had encountered after his breakthrough, Zhang Jiuxiao couldn't be bothered to ask any further questions. Thus, he stepped forward to welcome the other party.
Even though his talent in Zhang Xuan's eyes was lacking, he was still the number one prodigy back in Qingyuan Empire. Regardless of whether it was in terms of fighting, supporting occupations, or teaching, he was a top-notch expert.
Now that he had received a one-on-one lesson from Zhang Xuan, his understanding of battle and adaptability had reached an extremely high level.
In the blink of an eye, he had exchanged seven or eight moves with the masked man. Although each move was dangerous, he was always able to dodge at the critical moment.
While he was in danger, the masked man wasn't having a good time either. Even though the masked man had just made a breakthrough and was still injured, he had received personal guidance from Zhang Xuan. His understanding and grasp of battle had reached the pinnacle of the current era. After a few moves, he was gradually losing.
"Hey!"
The masked man knew that he would be defeated within a few moves, so he suddenly shrieked as a powerful aura burst forth from his body. In the blink of an eye, he appeared right before Zhang Xuan like a specter and struck down with his palm.
Peng!
Caught off guard, Zhang Jiuxiao was sent flying. His back crashed into the wall, and his face paled.
"Bloodline ability? You are from the Zhang clan?"
Even though Zhang Jiuxiao was injured, he still recognized the other party's identity.
The bloodline ability that the masked man had just used was the bloodline ability of the Zhang clan!
"Hu!"
The masked man didn't reply. Instead, he leaped forward once more, and the surrounding time seemed to slow down along with his movements. Zhang Jiuxiao felt his silhouette flickering once more, and he was struck once more. Unable to hold it in any longer, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
The bloodline ability of the Zhang clan allowed one to break free from the shackles of time, allowing one to move faster. Under such circumstances, it would seem as if one's movements had slowed down, unable to keep up with the other party's rhythm.
This won't do. At this rate, I'll surely be beaten to death …
After receiving a few more palm strikes, Zhang Jiuxiao felt his body boiling, and he felt as if he would collapse at any moment. His eyes reddened in agitation.
He had come here to meet the First Elder, but instead of meeting the First Elder, he met with a masked man whose every move was vicious. If he allowed the other party to continue, he would surely die within a few moves!
"I don't care …"
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be hiding his strength, Zhang Jiuxiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Driving his bloodline ability, the surrounding scenery appeared before him in an instant, as if it had slowed down.
The bloodline ability of the Zhang clan!
He had been unable to use it previously, but after his bloodline had become purer, it became much easier for him to use it.
As the surroundings slowed down, the masked man's silhouette finally appeared before him. The traces that he had been unable to see previously suddenly became clearer.
"Humph!"
Zhang Jiuxiao's eyebrows shot up as he leaped forward. In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared before the masked man and sent a kick right at him.
Peng peng peng peng!
Leg, palm, fist, finger … All kinds of attacks rained down on the masked man like a storm. The masked man clearly hadn't expected the other party to be even faster than him. Before he could even react, he had already been struck.
Blood spurted from the masked man's mouth as his body was sent flying backward. Eventually, his back crashed into the wall, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Die!"
Knowing that there was a time limit to activating his bloodline, Zhang Jiuxiao didn't show any mercy. He charged forward once more and launched all kinds of attacks at the masked man.
Since the other party wanted him dead … he wouldn't go easy on him either!
Peng peng peng peng!
Cracks appeared on the wall as all kinds of attacks landed on the masked man, leaving his body on the verge of exploding. Just as Zhang Jiuxiao was about to kill the other party with a single blow, the masked man's body suddenly began to surge furiously, and his strength surged into the clouds.
In the next instant, Zhang Jiuxiao felt his body being sealed by a powerful force, rendering him unable to move at all.
"What kind of strength is this?"
Zhang Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
He had already reached Dimension Sundering realm primary stage, but he was still unable to retaliate in the slightest. This meant that the other party was at Saint 9-dan at the very least, or even higher!
Such a person was already the pinnacle of the Zhang clan, so why would he want to kill him with a mask on?
"You should stop!"
While Zhang Jiuxiao was still perplexed by the situation, the masked man's voice suddenly sounded. Following which, his strength surged swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached a level that he dared not even imagine.
"This voice …"
Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly raised his head to take a look, only to see the mask before him shattering, revealing a familiar face.
"First Elder, you …"
Zhang Jiuxiao was stunned.
Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that the person who was trying to kill him would actually be the First Elder!
"Your bloodline is even purer than mine … Zhang Jiuxiao, how did you do it?"
The First Elder asked.
"Were you … testing me earlier?" Zhang Jiuxiao's body stiffened as cold sweat trickled down his back.
He didn't think that the masked man's intention was to force him to use his bloodline ability. His teacher had instructed him to keep a low profile and conceal his identity, but who could have thought that it would only take a short period of time?
He had been discovered!
For no one to know that his teacher was a Celestial Master Teacher for such a long time … In terms of keeping a low profile, the First Elder was indeed the most professional.
