After Zhang Yu gave the order, he did not move immediately. Instead, he took out the Cicada Sword and carefully wiped it. Then, he went to the inner room and sat cross-legged.
After a night of breathing, he shook his sleeves and stood up. Holding his sword, he walked out of the platform.
He looked up. The sun was hanging high in the sky, its light illuminating the world. It was the middle of the day.
His body slowly floated up. When he reached the sky, he looked at the distant sky. Then, he turned into a jade mist and green rainbow and headed into the depths of the Wilderness.
After traveling more than ten thousand miles in the northwest direction, he saw a raised mound. It was the highest place in a radius of dozens of miles. Then, he descended.
After stopping here, he stabbed the blade of his sword and sat down cross-legged.
Half a day later, the sun was setting on the horizon in the west.
In his long breath, the cold night passed quickly. Soon, the blazing sun rose behind him again, casting its warm light onto the boundless wasteland.
However, after this day passed, his opponent still did not appear.
But he did not show any impatience. His entire person was calm and natural. His breath became deeper and deeper, as if he had merged with the world.
On the third day, gusts of wind came without warning. Dust and gravel flew up. The sky became dark and gloomy.
Zhang Yu sat there without moving. He was like a reef in the sea. The sand and dust that came to him were all blocked by the light on his body and passed by him.
After a long time, he seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and saw a young man with red eyes and white skin appear silently in the wind and sand.
He was like an illusory silhouette. In such a fierce wind, even the corners of his robe did not sway. The embroidered Taoist robe with peony patterns on it was bright and eye-catching. The exceptionally bright colors seemed out of place in this gray and dark world.
Zhang Yu stood up, sword in hand. Looking at the person, he said, "Ancestor Yuan Tong?"
Ancestor Yuan Tong said, "It is me, but I am not him."
Zhang Yu nodded and did not say anything more. He pulled out his sword and pointed it to one side. His sleeves fluttered with his heart. He held his sword in his other hand and saluted, saying, "Please enlighten me."
Patriarch Yuan Tong stared at Zhang Yu.
The reason he wanted to deal with Zhang Yu was not as simple as Bai Xiu's body. If it was only for this reason, there was absolutely no need for him to be so serious. He wanted to find a suitable body to carry him when he was outside.
In his opinion, Zhang Yu was undoubtedly the most talented person in Xuanfu in the past few decades. If he succeeded in refining it, he might be able to rely on it to cultivate back to his original realm.
At that time, he could even restore his original body and escape from the Catacombs.
At this moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Please."
Zhang Yu stood there without moving. The Cicada Sword in his hand flashed slightly. It suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew directly to where Ancestor Yuan Tong was. It easily drew a thin and long mark in the surging sandstorm.
Ancestor Yuan Tong stood there and did not dodge at all. He allowed the sword light to pass through his body. Then, his entire body burst like a popped bubble.
Zhang Yu stood there for a moment. When he turned around, Ancestor Yuan Tong appeared there again. His body was intact, and his expression did not change at all.
His eyes moved slightly. There was a record in the scroll. Ancestor Yuan Tong had a remarkable ability called "Lifeless Heart Dust". This ability could imprint his own image into one's heart.
As long as one had seen him and remembered his appearance, then if one used ordinary means to attack, what one touched would always be the illusion that one saw in one's heart, and not the real person.
If one could not find the real person, then one would never be able to kill him.
It was also this method that made Ancestor Yuan Tong extremely difficult to deal with. Even those who were on par with him would find it difficult to do anything to him in a head-on battle.
From the notes at the back of the scroll, the upper cultivator who captured and killed this person had spent a lot of effort. He specially cultivated a "Heart Cutting Shadow" technique to break this remarkable ability. Only then did he finally get rid of him.
After Captain Ming was defeated, he said that he could not hurt the enemy at all. It was very likely that he was confused by this remarkable ability.
This kind of remarkable ability could not be broken just by closing one's eyes or not looking at the opponent. As long as the cultivator's mana came into contact with his mana, then his image would naturally be imprinted.
However, the record did not state how to cultivate the "Heart Cutting Shadow" technique. It only mentioned it briefly. Even if it was written, he would not cultivate it.
He did not have such a remarkable ability, but he had the simplest way. That was to use the Cicada Sword to cut off the image in his heart at the same time as he killed the opponent!
The requirements here were very high. It required one's heart to be connected with the sword. Therefore, when he came out, he communicated with the sword again in order to achieve the state where the heart and sword were one, without any gaps.
At this moment, he brushed the blade of his sword and raised it up as if he was offering a sword. The flowing light left his hand and flew out again. At the same time, another brilliant sword light appeared above the spiritual platform and slashed down on his mind!
Just as the sword light landed on Ancestor Yuan Tong's body again, the image in his heart suddenly shattered.
At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and looked in a direction. This person was not near him, but in a place extremely far away, a thousand miles away!
He stared in that direction. Behind him, bright starlight swayed, and a huge shadow flashed and disappeared.
At this moment, Ancestor Yuan Tong's illusory figure appeared in the sky again. However, the Cicada Sword that flew in the sky only flashed, and in an instant, it killed him again.
After that, every time he seemed to appear, he was slashed by the sword light.
This method was equivalent to exchanging a sword for a divine ability.
However, the flying sword was not his only means. If the other party's divine ability was not broken, there would be no possibility of killing him. Therefore, he thought this exchange was very worthwhile.
At this moment, a thousand miles away in the southeast direction, Ancestor Yuan Tong's body was standing there. His red eyes revealed a little surprise at this moment.
In the past, as long as the opponent could not see through the changes of his Lifeless Heart Dust, then they could not do anything to him, and he could play with his opponent at will.
For example, when Captain Ming fought with him, even if he exhausted all his strength, he could not touch him at all.
However, now it was Zhang Yu who broke it with a sword. It seemed that this divine ability could no longer confuse him.
However, when he thought about how the flying sword in Zhang Yu's hand was delayed because of this, he could accept it. After all, among the opponents he had fought in the past, sword cultivators were the most difficult to deal with.
According to his past experience, when a cultivator who usually relied on a sword to fight with others suddenly lost this handy artifact, his fighting ability would definitely be weakened because of this.
He was confident that with the magic power and divine ability he had mastered, even if he did not use the Lifeless Heart Dust technique, it was still enough to take down this junior.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a bright light appear above his head. The light was incomparably bright and unstoppable. It actually shone through the violent wind and sand and directly shone down.
In the light, there was a huge object. In the middle of it was a ball of erratic dark energy, and on both sides of the dark energy was a pair of bright and brilliant wings.
"Visualization diagram?"
In the past, his main opponent was a True Cultivator, and he had not fought with Xuanxiu before. However, he had heard of visualization diagrams and knew that this object could escape a thousand miles away to attack the enemy.
At this moment, the huge object suddenly spread out its sky-covering wings, and in an instant, it expanded a hundred miles. At this moment, it was as if two brilliant rivers of stars crossed the void and stretched towards the end of the sky. Then, the countless tiny stars in it began to flicker one by one.
In just a blink of an eye, thousands of starlight poured down towards the ground!
Patriarch Yuan Tong raised his head and stared at the light. Murderous aura surged around him, and in an instant, it spread out to a hundred miles. The whole area seemed to have turned into a surging ocean of murderous aura. When the starlight fell, it stirred up ripples in the ocean. While the murderous aura was dissipated, it was also melted away by the seemingly endless murderous aura.
However, the thousands of whistling sounds could not be dispersed. Even with his ability, he felt a wave of irritation and could not help but frown.
The bombardment of countless starlight streams lasted for half a moment before it slowly stopped. The tide of evil Qi below also slowly subsided. The wind and sand in the wilderness should have covered everything, but because of the collision of the divine abilities of the two sides, a huge hole was left behind.
Although the hole was slowly disappearing under the filling of the wind and sand, it undoubtedly showed the divine ability of a cultivator to fight against the mighty force of nature with his own strength.
At this moment, Ancestor Yuan Tong's eyes flashed and he turned around. A hundred miles away, a young Daoist stood there with his sleeves behind his back. The jade-colored Daoist robe on his body was emitting clouds of misty jade mist, blocking the billowing evil Qi.
Zhang Yu looked forward. As his robe fluttered, he walked forward step by step. The surging evil Qi in front of him parted to the sides, and wherever he walked, the wind and sand would slowly close.
Ancestor Yuan Tong slowly rose to a high place. The bright peonies on his Daoist robe suddenly bloomed, and then a bright light flashed there.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He could recognize that this was another divine ability of Ancestor Yuan Tong, called 'Lightless'. It could instantly melt the opponent into nothingness.
Moreover, the power of this divine ability was that as long as it was still within the range of its owner's knowledge and perception, it was impossible to completely avoid it.
Therefore, he did not dodge. At this moment, he also raised his hand and flicked a finger at Ancestor Yuan Tong.
Overlapping Light of Sun and Moon!
At this moment, two bright lights that were difficult to look at directly appeared where the two of them stood. The world that was originally covered by the wind and sand completely lost its sense of existence.
However, the results produced by these two lights were different. Yuan Tong disappeared in the light in an instant.
A shadow that looked like him appeared on Zhang Yu's body. Then, the shadow instantly turned into ashes and flew away, while he continued to walk forward.
In the next moment, as a dot of light flickered in the distant sky, Ancestor Yuan Tong's figure appeared from it. He was still floating in midair and staring at him.
Zhang Yu also looked up and met his gaze. Just now, he had used the 'Mysterious Shedding Technique' to avoid the calamity, but his opponent had also used a divine ability called 'Wheel Reflection' to block his killing move.
This time, they had exchanged two divine abilities in an instant.
From the beginning of the battle, he had been trying to get closer to his opponent. Now, he was only a few miles away from his opponent. The opportunity to decide the victory was within this short distance.
