Daoist Fang's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that Xuanting would really make a move on him this time. After all, it wasn't the first time he'd refused to be recruited.
He couldn't possibly fight against Tianxia alone. Perhaps Xuanting had made ample preparations. But there was one thing that was different. He looked up and said with his sleeves behind his back, "If you capture me like this, you won't be able to win over the hearts of the people."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said calmly, "The hearts of the people? Do you mean the hearts of the people who are cultivating in seclusion? Do you really think that your fellow Daoists will listen to you?
They're just pushing you out to test Xuanting's attitude and bear the pressure of Xuanting. You're using them, but aren't they using you as well?
There's only interest between the two of you, not righteousness. So don't expect them to continue on the path of fighting against Xuanting after you're captured. They'll only see the consequences of fighting against Xuanting and give up on their original ideas. As for you, they might say a few words of pity and mention you once in a while when they're chatting after tea. That's all. "
Daoist Fang's expression changed several times, and a faint trace of anger rose in his heart. Because he had always thought of benefits as the most important thing, Zhang Yu's words, in his opinion, were very likely to be what would happen in the future. Even if there were people who admired him, it would be very few.
But he suddenly laughed coldly and said, "If I'm not wrong. Zhang Tingzhi, you came here alone today to discuss the Dao with me, right? As long as you can defeat me in terms of the Dao, then my position in the hearts of the people will naturally be overthrown. Not bad, that's a good idea. But do you have the ability to do that? "
When he said the last sentence, he almost shouted it out in a stern voice.
At the same time, an intense flash of light and airflow erupted from his body. It was as if a sun had suddenly exploded above the sea of clouds. The flying island beneath their feet also trembled faintly, and in an instant, it became illusory.
Zhang Yu stood in the middle of this violent gust of light. His body was covered with millions of specks of starlight and misty jade mist, blocking this gust of light. He stood motionless in midair.
This movement also shook the entire sea of clouds. Torrential airflow spread out in all directions. This was what Daoist Fang wanted to see. He hoped that this move would stir up some people, but to his disappointment, no one came over despite the great commotion.
Perhaps Xuanting had blocked their senses, but it was more likely that these people didn't want to come. They were just watching to see who would win and who would lose, and who would be in the right.
Daoist Fang snorted coldly. He knew that he shouldn't have placed any hope in these people. At this moment, he also thought that perhaps what restrained these people was the righteousness that Zhang Yu spoke of. With Tianxia's righteousness, these people could only rely on his power behind his back. They never dared to jump out and face Tianxia on their own.
After all these thoughts flashed through his mind, he looked at Zhang Yu. He didn't use any Dao technique or divine ability, but instead directly used his own Dao.
He had only heard of Zhang Yu, but even so, he didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest. This was because this was the person who had clearly defeated Guan Chaosheng in a direct confrontation in the outer sect war. Even the entire Huanyang school had been defeated by him. And as the Shouzheng of the Shouzheng Palace, Xuanting's Vice Administrator, he wouldn't be able to sit still without a certain level of strength.
Thus, there was no need for those little probing tricks between them. He immediately used his most basic method.
His Dao was called "Power Palace Destiny."
The heavens were the heavens, the earth was the earth, and the earth followed the heavens, not the heavens attached to the earth. Heaven and earth couldn't be reversed, and the sun and moon couldn't be reversed. All things were born from one. There had always been a first and a second, a top and a bottom, and a master and a follower. His Dao was to take supremacy, to take control of the sun.
Once this Dao was used, as long as it wasn't defeated at the beginning, it meant that one had acknowledged the existence of his Dao. And the key to all Dao was to delay. The longer it was delayed, the more stable the master's position would be, and the harder it would be to defeat him.
Because he had cultivated for a long time and had outstanding talent, he had almost no shortcomings. Even if he only relied on his own mana, divine abilities, and Dao techniques, he could tangle with cultivators of the same generation. Thus, it was impossible to defeat him at the beginning of his Dao. Thus, he was in an almost undefeatable position.
And if the opponent couldn't defeat him for a long time, then as the Dao changed, they would tacitly acknowledge that his Dao had the upper hand. And if he didn't lose, then he would win. As the saying goes, "Power before life, using life to replace power". Once the Dao was established, no matter what Dao technique was used, it could only be under his power. Not only would it not be able to threaten him, but it would also be easily controlled.
There was another powerful point. As long as he could successfully use his Dao in front of his opponent once, then unless his opponent could ascend to the next level, he would be suppressed forever. There would be no possibility of defeating him.
Zhang Yu didn't know the magical effects of his Dao, but he had the Seal of the Great Way. After the Seal of Hearing and Seal of Sight combined, even if he couldn't see through the changes in the Qi, he could vaguely observe the general situation. He could judge that if the situation dragged on, then this person would have the upper hand. His chance was only in the first half of the battle.
Thus, he didn't hold back. His body flashed with light, and the Life Seal split out from his body. All of his mana condensed at the tip of his finger, and he pointed forward. In an instant, billions of starlight gathered at one point, and suddenly burst out!
This ball of dazzling light appeared, and immediately suppressed the brilliance that Daoist Fang released. At this moment, all the cultivators who tried to perceive this place felt a piercing pain in their senses, and only a vast expanse of whiteness was left. They had no choice but to withdraw their minds and hurriedly adjust their Qi.
Everyone's Dao had its advantages and disadvantages, and only then would it conform to the Dao of Transformation. The flaw in Daoist Fang's Dao was that at the beginning, he couldn't launch an attack. This was also equivalent to giving the initiative to Zhang Yu, so at this moment, he had nowhere to hide. However, he knew where the weakness of his Dao was, so he had already prepared a way to deal with it.
Facing the endless brilliance in front of him, he urged with his mind, and a virtual shadow that was similar to himself appeared on his body. After it appeared, he waved his sleeve, and mana gushed out, colliding with the starlight that was attacking him.
In this move, not only did it contain the technique of reversing supernatural powers, it also contained the Dao of substituting oneself. Although the virtual shadow dissipated under the impact, it still blocked the attack.
However, at this moment, his expression changed slightly. A ray of sword light flew out from the light, and by the time he sensed it, it was already in front of him. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped for a moment, and the sword light suddenly pierced through his body. However, at the same time, a talisman floated down from his body, and it could be seen that it was cut into two from the middle, taking the hit for him.
This was also his intention. He used the talisman to take the hit for himself, which meant that the attack just now didn't have any effect of restraining him, and this gap was enough for him to counterattack. Counterattacking Zhang Yu wasn't his goal, but to buy more time.
However, when he thought like this just now, the brilliant light on his body actually flickered uncontrollably. At the same time, a tear suddenly tore open on his sleeve, and it took the initiative to help him block a strand of peerlessly sharp sword qi that shot straight towards his heart. His expression couldn't help but change.
The sword light that Zhang Yu used wasn't at the level of "Cutting All Things", which cut Qi and cut people, but just now he used the mystery of "Heaven", which raised its power to a higher level. Therefore, although Daoist Fang used the talisman to avoid it, the power of the sword still affected him.
Even though Daoist Fang had many magical items on him and was well prepared, the sword attack didn't injure him. However, this miscalculation caused Daoist Fang's original plan to counterattack to fail. Not only that, but at the same time that the Sword Qi dissipated, another beam of sword light slashed toward him!
Daoist Fang had suffered a loss once, but this time he didn't dare to use the talisman to block it. He could only deal with it calmly. As long as he didn't lose, he would be the winner.
However, once the sword light launched an attack, it was not so easy to block. Every sword light was extremely fast, and the power contained in it was also extremely strong. Moreover, after one sword light, another sword light came, and the beginning and end of the sword light were connected, and there was no break.
He realized that something was wrong. According to his experience, if he didn't counterattack Zhang Yu, he wouldn't be able to do anything for a few breaths. Although this was only a short moment, since it was Zhang Yu who fought for it, he must take advantage of this time to do something. Therefore, he couldn't really be forced here.
With a thought, a ray of immortal light escaped from his Primordial Spirit. However, on the opposite side, a brilliant and beautiful Xuanhun Cicada flew out and blocked his Primordial Spirit.
At this moment, the Life Seal doppelganger took advantage of the time when he separated his Primordial Spirit, and a ray of light flashed on his body. A ray of light directly slashed into his mind. However, at this moment, his body became transparent like glass in an instant, and this magic was reflected back!
This was a counterattack he made using the magic tool that protected his mind and his own Divine Ability. In fact, because he was well prepared and had many tricks up his sleeves, he was able to push back most of the attacks except for sharp weapons like the flying swords.
And the counterattack of the opponent's magic undoubtedly created a rare opportunity. He was about to take back the initiative, but at this moment, a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. Thus, he used his Sensing Artifact to scan the area. He vaguely sensed that a sword light seemed to be lurking nearby, as if waiting for him to take action.
He couldn't help but snort. Obviously, the opponent was prepared for the failure of the magic when he attacked. Like a brilliant chess player, every chess piece had a cover for each other. If one was bitten off, the other could follow up and attack. In the end, it wasn't certain who would be at a disadvantage.
He knew that there was a trap in front of him, so he naturally wouldn't jump into it. However, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Since he couldn't attack instead of defend, he could only strengthen his body. Therefore, when he blocked the sword light, he added a few more barriers to himself. He was prepared to use all his strength to block Zhang Yu's attack!
