"Let's go!"
After dealing with the five warriors of the Hall of Gods, the crowd continued on their way.
The duo who had charged past them had already vanished from sight. The Azure Bridge stretched across the night sky, its end nowhere in sight.
Walking along the bridge, they soon arrived at a protrusion.
It was a round platform that appeared on one side of the bridge. It looked like a small observation deck.
The genius from the Blackmirror Citadel was seated on it.
A unique energy was rippling on the circular platform, and the pores of the genius' body opened up to absorb it swiftly. His cultivation rose steadily, and it felt as if he would make a breakthrough at any moment.
"He's trying to push for a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm!"
Elder Hong Wu said.
Based on the experiences of the predecessors, there would be places on the Azure Bridge where one could make a breakthrough after passing through the five warriors of the Hall of Gods. As long as a Heavenly High Immortal could enter those places, there was a good chance that they would succeed.
Most likely, this was one of those places, and the genius was currently attempting to push for a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm!
"Let's go. He's already occupied this area. Let's take a look around and see if there are any other circular platforms ahead!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Even though the two of them were not on friendly terms, it was still a fortuitous encounter for them to make a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm, so there was no need for them to stand in their way.
Since the previous heads of the Six Sects were able to make breakthroughs here, there should be quite a number of such places around.
Otherwise, that person from the Evanescent Immortal Sect would definitely be here too, and would not have disappeared without a trace.
The crowd nodded before following closely behind Zhang Xuan. However, just as they were about to advance forward, an aura suddenly burst forth. The genius from the Blackmirror Citadel on the circular platform exclaimed deeply, and the zhenqi in his body burst forth.
Hong long!
A powerful aura burst forth, reminiscent of a bolt of lightning.
"He made a breakthrough?"
Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly looked over, only to see the middle-aged man sitting in his original position. It was as if the very essence of his life had changed. Streams of immortal energy flowed around his body like a flood dragon, quietly floating above the circular platform. It was as if gravity had no effect on him.
Hu!
As the zhenqi in his body flowed into his acupoints, the middle-aged man abruptly opened his eyes.
A brilliant ray of light burst forth from his eyes, illuminating the surroundings.
"Looks like you've defeated the warriors of the Shrine of Light since you've made it this far. However … your luck ends here. Don't go any further …"
Feeling the surge of energy in his body, the middle-aged man was filled with excitement. When he saw that Zhang Xuan and the others were not killed by the Temple of Deities' warriors, he revealed a trace of shock. He harrumphed coldly and stood up.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, he stood in front of everyone.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"The fact that you are able to clear the trial of the warriors of the Hall of Gods means that you have a chance to become a Semi-Divinity realm expert. If you succeed, what advantage does our Blackmirror Citadel and Evanescent Immortal Sect have?"
The middle-aged man sneered.
The reason why they had gone to the extent of collaborating with the Ethereal Hall was so that they could produce more Semi-Divinity realm experts. If the other party were to succeed as well, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
"You want to silence me?"
Zhang Xuan.
He already knew that these two sects were up to no good, but he didn't think that they would do something like this.
"If you die, others will think that you died at the hands of the warriors of the Hall of Gods. It has nothing to do with our Blackmirror Citadel!"
Every time they challenged the Azure Bridge, there would be quite a number of deaths. Even if the few of them were to die, no one would suspect anything.
After all, there was only a single person who managed to clear the Azure Bridge every year.
"Are you that certain that you can kill us?"
Seeing that the other party was already dead, Zhang Xuan shook his head and looked at Luo Ruoxin sympathetically.
"I know that you have tamed the Blackback Tortoise, a Semi-Divinity realm beast, but … why don't you give it a try and see if you can summon it from the Azure Bridge?"
The middle-aged man's lips crept up. "If the gods didn't take this into consideration when they constructed the Azure Bridge, wouldn't the warriors of the Hall of Gods be no match for it?"
Zhang Xuan frowned. He tried communicating with his tamed beast sack, and as expected, it seemed to have been sealed by some kind of power, preventing him from summoning Semi-Divinity realm tamed beasts.
However, he was still able to summon beasts that hadn't reached the Semi-Divinity realm.
However, the Azure Bridge wasn't wide, and every single immortal beast was massive in size. If he summoned them, not only would they not be able to help him, they might even hinder him.
From the looks of it, it seemed like the middle-aged man was right. The gods who constructed the Azure Bridge had already predicted this. Even the Myriad Beasts Hall wouldn't be able to take advantage of this.
"Since I was able to tame the Blackback Tortoise, it goes without saying that I have the means to defeat it. You are just a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, and you think that you can kill me?
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Even though he couldn't summon his four Semi-Divinity realm beasts, given his current strength, he was still no match for a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator who had just reached the Semi-Divinity realm.
"What if I join you?"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, another voice sounded. The genius from the Evanescent Immortal Sect also appeared before them.
Just like the genius from the Blackmirror Citadel, he had also reached the Semi-Divinity realm.
Two Semi-Divinity realm cultivators released their auras simultaneously to block their path. In an instant, the faces of Elder Hong Wu and the others turned incredibly awful.
They were confident that their sect leader would be able to defeat one Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, but two …
That would be hard to say!
Not to mention, those two could be considered as geniuses of the Forsaken Continent. Even though they had just achieved a breakthrough, their fighting prowess was not to be underestimated.
"As fellow members of the Six Sects, aren't you afraid of causing chaos on the Forsaken Continent by making a move against us?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Don't worry. After you die, our Blackmirror Citadel and Evanescent Immortal Sect will take charge of your sects. Starchaser Palace, Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Myriad Beasts Hall, and Seven Star Pavilion will cease to exist!"
The middle-aged man from the Blackmirror Citadel said with a wave of his hand. "Make your move!"
After saying those words, the middle-aged man took a step forward, and he appeared right before Zhang Xuan. Opening his palm, he launched a powerful palm strike.
The middle-aged man wielded the strength of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. Elder Hong Wu and the others wanted to help, but they felt as if their bodies had been sealed, rendering them unable to move at all.
"This is the strength of a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator?"
Elder Hong Wu's heart sank.
They had come into contact with Semi-Divinity realm cultivators before, but they had never crossed blows with them before. As such, they had no idea how powerful they were. However, after seeing the middle-aged man's strength, they realized that the gap between them was simply too huge.
If the middle-aged man really wanted to kill them, even if the three of them were to work together, they would not be able to last more than three moves!
"Sect Leader Zhang …"
They quickly turned to look at their sect leader, hoping to see how they could save him. What they saw was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Not too far away, their sect leader, who had been struck by the middle-aged man's palm strike, took out a sword, and with a slight flick of his wrist, he pierced through the middle-aged man's palm.
Puhe! Puhe!
After two consecutive blows, the middle-aged man who had just achieved a breakthrough to Semi-Divinity realm was decapitated. Even in his final moments, he could not believe that this was real.
"What's wrong with living? Why did you have to court death? "
Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed.
Even though his cultivation was only at Heavenly High Immortal realm, his fighting prowess far exceeded that of ordinary Semi-Divinity realm cultivators.
He might have had to put in some effort to deal with the Semi-Divinity realm cultivators of the Hall of Gods, but a brat who had just achieved a breakthrough to Semi-Divinity realm actually wanted to kill him?
"You …"
Seeing how his companion had been decapitated in a single move, the middle-aged man from the Evanescent Immortal Sect leaped in fright. He immediately turned around and fled.
His strength was not much stronger than the middle-aged man from the Evanescent Immortal Sect. Since the other party was able to kill the middle-aged man in a single move, there was no doubt that the other party would be able to kill him as well.
He had received orders that if Zhang Xuan was able to clear the Warriors of the Hall of Gods, he was to kill him. He had thought that it would be a simple mission, but who could have known that the young man would actually be so powerful?
To be able to kill a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator at the High Immortal realm without any hesitation …
In fact, he was even stronger than their sect leader!
If he did not flee now, when would he?
"The reason why I asked so many questions earlier is to ascertain whether you really intend to kill me or not. Since that's the case, it won't be too late for me to flee now!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head and flicked his wrist.
Weng!
His sword pierced through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was already right behind the middle-aged man.
Puhe!
The sword pierced right through the middle-aged man's heart. In an instant, the middle-aged man who had just achieved a breakthrough breathed his last, and his corpse fell heavily onto the bridge.
From the moment they achieved a breakthrough to the moment of death, they did not even last three minutes.
They were probably the shortest Semi-Divinity realm cultivators on the Master Teacher Continent.
