"That's not up to you!"
The middle-aged man's face darkened. With a slight flick of his sword, the roar of a dragon echoed in the air.
In the next instant, the middle-aged man was already right before Zhang Xuan. His sword pierced through the air, reaching Zhang Xuan in the blink of an eye.
As a God King, he stood at the very pinnacle of the Firmament, far stronger than even the Ancient Sages of the Master Teacher Continent. With a single move, he seemed to be able to manipulate the world around him. He would not let even the slightest bit of energy go to waste.
"Humph!"
Seeing how the middle-aged man did not even bother to persuade Zhang Xuan to surrender, Zhang Xuan knew that the middle-aged man would have other means to learn the formula for the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill. Since the Master Teacher Continent had the means to search one's soul, it was unlikely that the Firmament would lack such means as well.
Knowing that the killing intent had already been triggered, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and executed the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps to swiftly retreat.
The Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps did allow him to fly, but compared to the speed of a God King, he was simply too slow.
However, barely after retreating a dozen meters, the middle-aged man's sword had already appeared right before him.
Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist.
Pushing his physical body and zhenqi to their limits, the six spears that he had just obtained let out a whimpering sound as they whistled through the air and charged forward.
One after another, one after another, they formed a special formation.
Every single spear harnessed his powerful Spear Quintessence, and it felt as if space itself had been sealed.
"You do have some means!"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised that a fellow who had not even reached the God King realm would possess such a deep comprehension of the spear. He harrumphed coldly as he turned his attention away from Zhang Xuan. Instead, he flicked his sword lightly.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The six spears were severed by the middle-aged man's sword, and the formation and Weapon Quintessence were undone.
With the difference in their strength, the middle-aged man was able to resolve the crisis with a single move.
"You aren't weak at all, but compared to a God King, you are still far too weak …" The middle-aged man chuckled softly as he stepped forward once more. At this moment, he had already passed the spot where Zhang Xuan had been standing earlier. His movements weren't too fast, but he still exuded an aura of invincibility.
The difference between a God-King and a Heavenly Deity was simply too great. Even Zhang Xuan, who had cultivated a cultivation technique that surpassed the Heavenly Dao, found it difficult to make up for it.
If it were not for this, the Divine King would not have such a great reputation, with countless people scrambling for him.
"It doesn't matter if you're far from it. I bet that if this continues … you'll definitely die, but I won't!" Zhang Xuan smiled faintly.
Even though he was no match for Zhang Xuan, he was just a God King. At the very most, he would just have to use the golden page in his head to deal with him!
Putting aside God Kings, even Conferred God Kings might not be able to withstand the might of the Heaven's Path Divine Artifact, let alone God Kings.
How could it be so easy for the other party to kill him?
"Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is a bad thing …" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as he charged forward once more.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with sword qi, reminiscent of a rainbow.
This time, Zhang Xuan did not bother dodging. Instead, he charged forward.
In midair, Zhang Xuan used his fingers as a sword, and the sword qi at his fingertips was reminiscent of a candlelight in the night sky or a cocoon spitting out silk. It abruptly appeared from a singularity in the void, and while it appeared to be infinitely small, it felt as if it was impossible to dodge.
It was an extremely bizarre feeling. Even as a God King, the middle-aged man still felt as if he was being surrounded by a cocoon, making it impossible for him to dodge.
Huala!
The sword qi in the sky was devoured by the singularity, and the aura of Zhang Xuan's Sword Intent tore through the firmament.
"What kind of swordsmanship is that?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
If the other party's swordsmanship was already so powerful when executed with just his fingertips, wouldn't it be even more formidable when paired with a sword?
Just what kind of swordsmanship was that? Why had he never heard of it before?
Even a God King would not be able to execute such a swordsmanship so easily!
Just as the middle-aged man was about to drive his sword to defend against Zhang Xuan's attack, the voice of the young man before him suddenly sounded, "The silkworm will not run out of silk until it dies; the candle will not dry until it is reduced to ashes!"
The third level of the Pathos of Heaven, the swordsmanship of the teacher-student relationship, had finally been created!
He had already come up with the idea before he was ambushed, and given the urgent situation that he was in, he decided to channel the emotions in his body and use his fingertips to execute the swordsmanship.
A teacher for a day, a father for life!
A teacher was as strict as a parent when it came to educating students, perhaps even more so.
He was both a teacher and a friend. Through communication, he was able to understand the situation of his students and teach them according to their aptitude.
He was able to take care of his students, but at the same time, he was able to act like a nanny and consider every little detail.
The relationship between a teacher and a student was complicated. Silently contributing, the silkworm will not run out of silk until it dies; the candle will not dry until it is reduced to ashes!
This swordsmanship harnessed the most complicated emotions in his heart, and as soon as it appeared, it felt as if a black hole had swallowed the middle-aged man whole.
Even as a God King, the middle-aged man was still unable to withstand the swordsmanship. In an instant, he was struck squarely in the chest.
A deep wound could be seen on the middle-aged man's chest.
"You …"
To be wounded by a high-tier Celestial God in a battle, the middle-aged man lost his composure. He was just about to charge forward and kill the other party when he suddenly felt a chill running down his back.
He quickly retracted his body and focused all of his strength on his back.
Padah!
With a resounding explosion, a powerful force struck him from his back, and he staggered backward. He could feel a searing pain on his back.
He quickly turned around, only to see a figure identical to the young man before him.
"Is that … a clone?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
A clone with the same cultivation realm as the main body …
Where in the world did that fellow get such a clone from?
"Make your move!"
Paying no heed to the middle-aged man's shock, Zhang Xuan charged forward once more, and a sharp glint flashed across his fingertips. At the same time, his clone also charged forward with a cold glint in his eyes.
Even though his clone hadn't undergone the tempering of the Lucid Lunar Lake, he had consumed sufficient God Essence Pills, and his physical body had improved swiftly. As long as he didn't execute a swordsmanship that surpassed the heavens, even the current Zhang Xuan wouldn't be a match for him.
In other words, even the previous Ao Hua wouldn't be a match for him.
Even though the middle-aged man was a God King, he still found it difficult to withstand Zhang Xuan's attacks.
A God King would have been able to subdue a high-tier Celestial God with a single finger, and yet, he was actually finding it strenuous to deal with him. This made the middle-aged man so furious that he could explode on the spot.
This was the first time he had felt so stifled fighting against someone who wasn't a God King!
"It seems like I have underestimated you. However, if I want to kill you, you won't be able to escape today!"
The middle-aged man channeled all of his strength, and the space around him seemed to have been sealed. Zhang Xuan and his clone found it difficult to withstand Zhang Xuan's attacks.
As formidable as Zhang Xuan's swordsmanship was, he didn't have a suitable weapon to wield it with. On top of that, his clone's cultivation was simply too weak. He was still far from matching up to a God King.
Peng peng peng!
Both Zhang Xuan and his clone were struck simultaneously, and both of them were sent flying.
Hu!
The clone wriggled its body, and its injuries swiftly healed up. At the same time, Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi, and as expected, the wounds on his body swiftly healed up.
"You …"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
How in the world did the other party and his clone recover from such severe injuries in the blink of an eye? Just what in the world did the other party possess?
The middle-aged man lowered his head to take a look at his chest. The wound that the other party had inflicted on him earlier was still bleeding profusely, and he couldn't help but feel a little unwell.
With his God King Constitution, he should have been able to recover from such severe injuries within half a day. However, he couldn't afford to be distracted while fighting the other party, so his injuries were getting more and more severe. At the same time, more and more blood was flowing out of his body.
He had thought that as long as he could injure the other party, he would be able to find a way to deal more damage to the other party. Who could have thought that while the other party was injured, he would be able to recover in less than a breath!
No matter how much he was injured …
Furthermore, his aura had become even more violent and powerful …
Are you a cockroach or something?
Do you have to be so exaggerated?
Even if he wasn't a God King yet, he would still be in a disadvantageous position if he were to fight for too long!
"Melee attack!"
Just as the middle-aged man was feeling deeply stifled, the young man bellowed furiously as he charged forward together with his clone.
Fighting in melee was the best way to deal with a life for a life.
Peng peng peng!
Three minutes later, the middle-aged man's face was ghastly pale. Even though the young man and his clone were in a rather unkempt state, they were completely unharmed.
"How am I supposed to fight like this?"
The middle-aged man was on the verge of going insane.
He had thought that killing a high-tier Celestial God would be a piece of cake, but who would have thought that he would be the one to die at this rate?
"Let's go!"
Knowing that he couldn't take advantage of the situation, the middle-aged man turned around and fled.
Even though they were surrounded by a formation, they were still close to Drifting Specter Royal City, so they were still within the range of the Conferred God Kings. If they couldn't kill the other party in a short period of time, they would have no choice but to retreat.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Seeing the middle-aged man leaving so decisively, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before his complexion turned awful.
If the other party were to chase him down so easily, he would surely be ambushed in the future!
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Xuan recalled his clone and activated the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps to chase after the other party.
However, his flying speed was simply too slow. Compared to a God King, he was nothing at all.
"I might not be able to kill you, but you should be able to stop me if I want to leave!"
The middle-aged man harrumphed coldly. "The next time I find you, it'll be the day of your death!"
After saying those words, without waiting for Zhang Xuan's reply, the middle-aged man turned around and flew into the sky. However, before he could get far, he suddenly came to a halt.
"Ah? What is this?"
Before he could finish his words, a massive beak suddenly appeared before him and pecked him lightly.
Hu!
The middle-aged man vanished from the spot, and following which, a little chick appeared before Zhang Xuan.
"Burp!"
The little chick burped loudly, and its bald tail shook a little.
"Little Chick, you … are awake?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in agitation.
Little Chick, who had fallen into a deep slumber after his death in the Lucid Lunar Lake, had awoken at this very moment. Furthermore, its aura was surging furiously. It had actually reached God King realm!
All along, Zhang Xuan had thought that he would be able to reach God King realm very soon. Who could have thought that his cultivation of the Anima of Yearning would be so slow that his soul would hold him back? While he was still some time away from making a breakthrough, that little chick had actually succeeded before him!
A God King realm chick!
Just the thought of it left him agitated …
