Within the Eighth Heaven of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, there was an incomparably majestic hall. Numerous gigantic figures that were a hundred meters tall stood in four directions. Every single one of them exuded a boundless aura that was incomparably majestic, deep, and boundless.
There were more than a dozen of these figures, almost twenty of them. They were all experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
To be able to stay in the Eighth Layer of Heaven was already an incredible existence. Cultivators like Lin Ming and Ao Wu were not qualified to stay in the Eighth Layer of Heaven.
The twenty figures came from various races. Among them, there were humans as well, but most of them were from the Origin Race.
"What's up with that human?" One of the Origin Race experts stared at one of the many images and said in surprise, "He can actually fight such an intense battle with that little guy from the Origin Race."
"It's a little unbelievable."
"Mm, let me ask … That little guy from the Origin Race is called Xi Zhang. He's one of the more outstanding prodigies of the Origin Race in this year's cohort. It's said that he can make it into the top ten this year." Another Origin Race expert said slowly, "As for that human, he should be an incredible human because he's from the Third Sequence Void. Ten years ago, he fought with Xi Zhang. Although he lost in the end, he still displayed extraordinary abilities."
"Oh, a human from the Third Sequence Void actually has such abilities." The other experts were all surprised.
They were all high-level experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Naturally, they would not pay too much attention to the disciples unless it was extremely special. So special that it piqued their curiosity and drew their attention.
After all, they had other important matters to attend to besides cultivation. How would they have the time to pay special attention to a group of disciples?
"A human from the Third Sequence Void is indeed not bad."
"Zheng Yuan, it looks like there's another good junior among the humans this time."
"It seems so." The one who was called Zheng Yuan was a human. He was also the only human expert here. He had another identity — the leader of the Dao Alliance. After a few breaths, he spoke again. "This little guy is from the Dao Alliance. I didn't expect there to be another outstanding junior in the Dao Alliance."
Just now, he had contacted the other members of the Dao Alliance and learned about this.
While the high-level experts were talking, the battle between Chen Zong and Xi Zhang was getting more and more intense.
Chen Zong was intoxicated by the feeling of unleashing his swordsmanship to his heart's content.
With the sword in his hand, he had complete control and control over it. He could use it as he pleased, and the changes in weight and speed were as he wished.
In terms of absolute strength and attack power, Xi Zhang was better than Chen Zong. However, Xi Zhang soon discovered that Chen Zong's swordsmanship was too superb.
Xi Zhang knew from the battle ten years ago that Chen Zong's swordsmanship was superb, and he had rich combat experience. Ten years later, his swordsmanship had improved a lot, and Xi Zhang found it difficult to deal with him.
After a fierce battle, Xi Zhang realized that it was very difficult for him to compete with his opponent's swordsmanship with his staff skills. Although his staff skills had improved a lot in the past ten years, his opponent's swordsmanship had improved even more. He was truly a genius in swordsmanship.
Since that was the case, Xi Zhang decided to use his strength to suppress his opponent.
Xi Zhang unleashed his secret technique again, and the power of his staff skills suddenly increased by seventy percent. It was even more terrifying. Every strike of his staff carried the power of an embryonic Tao Domain. It suppressed the surroundings and increased the pressure on Chen Zong. It made it harder for Chen Zong to move.
However, Chen Zong's superb swordsmanship still allowed him to contend with Xi Zhang. He was not at a disadvantage for a while, but at the same time, it was difficult for him to close in on Xi Zhang. He could only move around and look for an opportunity.
Superb techniques could allow the weak to defeat the strong, but powerful strength could also defeat ten people.
There was no such thing as absolute strength. Everything depended on how the person used it. If they used it well, they would be strong. If they did not use it well, they would be weak.
Seizing the moment of opportunity, Chen Zong closed in and attacked with his sword. The speed of his sword was so fast that Xi Zhang could not react in time. Moreover, the sharpness of his swordsmanship was astonishing. When it reached him, Xi Zhang was shocked. He felt as if he would be torn apart by the sword.
However, when Chen Zong's sword hit Xi Zhang's body, he realized that there was a layer of resistance that blocked the sword.
That resistance was extremely tough and difficult to break through. In just an instant, the long rod of the West Staff slammed through the air. Its power was incomparably tyrannical. It was as if a mountain was pressing down, wanting to shatter Chen Zong.
Retreat!
In an instant, Chen Zong immediately retreated. At the same time, he saw that there seemed to be a halo flashing on Xi Zhang's body. The halo was as thin as a piece of paper, but it was surprisingly tough.
Chen Zong recognized it at a glance.
"The Nine Mystic Protection Technique!" Chen Zong said to himself.
That was one of the three supreme secret skills of the Secret Pavilion, the Nine Mystic Protection Technique. It was a defensive secret skill. After mastering it, it would naturally form a thin layer of defense on the surface of one's skin. Once it was attacked, it would be automatically activated to defend against the attack.
As one of the three supreme mystic techniques of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, and the only defensive mystic technique among the three supreme mystic techniques, it was naturally very shocking. It was normal that his sword couldn't slice it open.
The powerful staff technique and the amazing defense of the Nine Mystic Protection Technique put Xi Zhang in an invincible position.
Although Xi Zhang had only mastered the first layer of the Nine Mystic Protection Technique and condensed a protective force, it was enough to block Chen Zong's swordsmanship attack.
"Human, do you have any more powerful moves? If not, you will definitely lose this time," Xi Zhang said with a smile.
Chen Zong stared at Xi Zhang. Sure enough, after ten years, both he and Xi Zhang had improved a lot.
Fortunately, he had passed through the third level of the Three Great Trial Grounds and had chosen a supreme secret technique. In the past ten years, he had also cultivated it to some extent.
Nine Layers of Mixed Killing!
Among the three supreme secret skills, this was a secret skill that focused on attacking power.
He drew his sword!
Chen Zong moved again. He became one with his sword and once again swung his superb swordsmanship.
Xi Zhang's staff came down, but Chen Zong dodged it. Then, he rushed forward and swung his sword again.
It seemed like a brief exchange, but in fact, Chen Zong had used more than ten different swordsmanship skills to get rid of the influence of Xi Zhang's staff technique and directly closed in on him.
The Heart Sutra allowed Chen Zong to discover his shortcomings in battle and improve himself at the fastest speed.
In other words, Chen Zong was a person who could constantly improve himself in battle. That was terrifying.
He swung his sword again. This time, Xi Zhang still could not dodge it. He could only resist it with his own defense.
When the sword hit Xi Zhang again, it cut through his armor and hit the protective power of the Nine Mysteries Body Protection Technique. Chen Zong felt that amazing toughness again.
"Nine-Fold Mixed Kill!" He muttered to himself. It seemed that a sword shadow appeared in an instant and merged with the sword to launch a second attack.
It was extremely fast!
The first slash was the slash of Chen Zong's sword. The second slash was the slash of the sword shadow that had been condensed in an instant.
The interval between the first attack and the second attack was very short, almost at the same time. Moreover, the power of the second attack was exactly the same as that of the first attack.
This was the secret of the supreme secret skill, Nine-Fold Mixed Kill.
The Nine-Fold Mixed Kill could launch up to nine more attacks. Using the sword as an example, it meant that there were nine more sword shadows in a row. Each sword shadow's power was the same as the first one.
If the Nine-Fold Mixed Kill was cultivated to the advanced level, one attack would be accompanied by nine sword shadows. It was equivalent to launching ten attacks of the same power in an instant. It was very terrifying.
But now, Chen Zong could only launch the first attack, which was to condense a sword shadow to accompany his sword. It was equivalent to launching two attacks at the same point.
Any defense had an upper limit. The interval between the sword shadows of the Nine-Fold Mixed Kill was very short. Although it was not the same as doubling the attack, it was very close.
The first attack was blocked by the protective power of the Nine Mysteries Body Protection Technique. However, after blocking Chen Zong's ten attacks, the protective power was also in a state of extreme. As the sword shadows chased after him, the protective power was immediately broken and directly attacked Xi Zhang. His body was split open and blood splattered.
"Nine-Fold Mixed Kill!" Xi Zhang was not killed directly because the moment his protective power was broken, Xi Zhang reacted quickly and immediately retreated. Therefore, he was not seriously injured.
He had mastered the Nine Mysteries Body Protection Technique, while his opponent had mastered the Nine-Fold Mixed Kill. In other words, his Nine Mysteries Body Protection Technique could not block the power of his swordsmanship.
He felt that this battle seemed to be more difficult than the one ten years ago.
However, Xi Zhang was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed a smile.
In an instant, an earthen-yellow vein pattern appeared behind him. Compared to ten years ago, that vein pattern seemed to be even more solid. The might it emitted also seemed to be a bit stronger.
Dao pattern!
The Dao pattern of the Earth Dao.
In an instant, the Dao pattern integrated into the long staff. The long staff suddenly trembled and its power surged. Its aura was extremely shocking.
Boom!
When the staff arrived, its power increased by a lot, becoming extremely terrifying. It was as if everything would be shattered under this force.
Terrifying!
Extremely terrifying!
Chen Zong's expression was extremely solemn.
Too powerful.
Compared to ten years ago, it was much more powerful. Moreover, the embryonic form of the Doctrine Domain was much more powerful. Its influence on the surroundings was obviously more intense.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong activated the Sword World.
Although his swordsmanship was excellent and far surpassed Xi Zhang's staff skills, the difference in power was too great. It was as if it had exceeded the limit.
The Sword World activated and covered all directions. Rays of sword light condensed in an instant and ten swords merged into one.
In an instant, two hundred rays of sword light appeared. Compared to ten years ago, there were one hundred more rays. Each ray of sword light was extremely powerful.
Kill!
Twenty rays of sword light formed a wave and immediately bombarded Xi Zhang.
"Come on." Xi Zhang's face was filled with excitement. The feeling of unleashing his full power was too wonderful. Every attack was extremely powerful, as if it could shatter a mountain.
Attack!
Attack to your heart's content!
Attack with all your might!
Fight, fight, fight!
Chen Zong clenched his right hand. In an instant, the bracelet turned into the Nine Heavens Soldier Sword. His body flew out.
