Zhao Sheng wiped the blood from his nose and sneered, "Heh, there's a lot you didn't expect!"
At this moment, Zhao Sheng's soul was injured, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices. Because his pupils were stained with blood, everything in his field of vision was covered with a thick layer of blood.
"Damn it, you traitor!"
The thought of his family, which had stood for a thousand years, being destroyed overnight because of this person filled Zhou Yingze with rage, and he instantly lost his mind.
"Give me your life!"
Before he finished speaking, a blazing white spiritual flame suddenly flew out from his lower dantian, its size increasing a hundredfold as it flew into the air, before twisting and transforming into a flaming broadsword over two zhang long.
In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of more than twenty feet and was about to strike Zhao Sheng on the head.
Before the blade even arrived, the scorching heat had already distorted the air, causing it to collide violently with the Xuan Yuan water wall, producing a hissing sound.
Zhao Sheng had a sudden thought and was about to summon the Spirit Fire Gourd when he was suddenly struck by a sharp pain in his head. The True Fire of Annihilation on the Sea of Souls in his Purple Mansion suddenly surged higher and burned even more intensely.
Just a moment too late, the flaming greatsword slammed into the Xuan Yuan water wall and then exploded.
In an instant, flames shot out, water vapor rose, high temperature, explosion, and immense gravity all came at once!
Snap,
The water wall couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded with a roar.
At the same time, a flaming blade, about an inch long and solidified with fire, appeared without warning on Zhao Sheng's forehead and plunged in.
A crisis is imminent... How could this be!
At the critical moment!
The world seemed to have been frozen in time by someone, slowing down countless times in an instant.
Zhao Sheng could clearly see the small knife formed from the spirit fire slowly cutting through the air as it approached him, the tip almost piercing his forehead.
However, that point is now as far away as the heavens.
In this strange state, Zhao Sheng's reaction speed was countless times faster. He simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged this deadly move.
The next second, Zhao Sheng felt a sense of relief, and the world returned to normal.
Whoosh!
The knife missed its mark and embedded itself in the soil and rocks behind Zhao Sheng. The soil and rocks exploded instantly, creating a large crater more than two zhang in diameter and nearly one zhang deep. Wisps of blazing white flames continued to burn on the soil and rocks inside and outside the crater.
Seeing that his sure-kill attack had missed, Zhou Yingze frowned, then patted the treasure chest beside him.
Suddenly, a crystal-red pearl the size of a longan leaped into the air, and in the next instant, a ball of crimson flame burst forth on the surface of the pearl.
The crimson flames expanded rapidly, growing in the blink of an eye into a giant fireball the size of a house. The appearance of the fireball caused the already scorching hot cave to heat up by more than ten degrees, making the heat even more unbearable.
"go!"
A giant fireball shot out with a bang, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
On the other side, facing the massive fireball surging towards them, Zhao Sheng's eyes blazed with even more bloodlust. He didn't dodge or evade, as if he were terrified.
However, at the very moment the fireball struck, his body vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared the next moment, Zhao Sheng was already three zhang away, and for some reason, he was bleeding from all seven orifices again.
But Zhao Sheng didn't care. After dodging the fireball, he leaped directly at Zhou Yingze, seemingly ready for close combat.
Seeing this, Zhou Yingze smiled sarcastically. With a thought, the Flame Pearl suddenly turned and whistled as it smashed towards the back of Zhao Sheng's head.
But Zhao Sheng seemed to have an eye in the back of his head; his body vanished in a flash, as fast as teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, he not only easily dodged the pearl's attack, but also crossed a distance of three zhang.
Seeing that the two were less than five zhang apart, Zhou Yingze became anxious. He hadn't expected someone to react so quickly, leaving him no time to activate his talisman.
The next moment, Zhou Yingze swiftly reached for his storage bag at his waist, and a handful of talismans appeared in his hand.
Then, without thinking twice, he poured in his spiritual power, activating all the talismans.
In an instant, half of the grotto burst into flames, hundreds of fire-sword-like creatures and firebirds flew in formation, vast clouds of fire and rain of fire filled the air, and thick, powerful fire dragons pounced and circled.
With such a massive offensive, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't even be able to block it, let alone dodge it.
But in Zhao Sheng's eyes, it was full of flaws.
By creating a barrier of profound water, Zhao Sheng easily escaped through a gap in the spell as the world slowed down.
Amidst a series of deafening explosions, the two were now less than two zhang apart.
This distance... is enough!
Zhao Sheng's eyes blazed with blood-red light, and the essence blood preserved in his heart suddenly shattered, transforming into streaks of blood-red light that rushed into the purple mansion between his eyebrows.
The blood-red light, like spring dew after rain, dripped into the sea of souls, instantly weakening the flames of the God-Slaying True Fire, leaving only a thin layer clinging to the surface. His divine sense and spirit instantly returned to their peak, at the cost of the hundred drops of essence blood he had accumulated over half a year vanishing.
Bullet time begins, and the crystal-invisible sword is drawn!
At this moment, Zhao Sheng's consciousness was extremely focused, his mind was clear and flawless, and the world was quieter than ever before. The dust in the air, the firelight, and the panicked expressions on the faces of his enemies all appeared in the depths of his soul, exceptionally clear.
In this strange state, Zhao Sheng felt extremely conflicted. One feeling was that the Crystal Invisible Sword was very slow, so slow that even the blade itself could be easily detected.
But his true consciousness told him that the crystal-invisible sword was extremely fast, at least three times faster than normal.
The contrast between the two feelings was so stark that even though Zhao Sheng had possessed this talent for over a hundred years, he still hadn't fully adapted and always felt a twisted sense of his mind being torn apart.
Fortunately... the mental distortion did not affect the attack's effectiveness at all!
In bullet time, Zhao Sheng had ample time, enough to fully appreciate the growing panic on Zhou Yingze's face, and enough to see the crystal-invisible sword easily pierce through a layer of invisible light barrier.
Then, with one burst of energy, the sword pierced through the enemy's head, the blade flying out from behind the head, bringing with it a large amount of pink and white brain matter.
As his brain matter splattered out, Zhao Sheng felt a sense of relief, and the flow of time suddenly returned to normal.
puff!
Seeing Zhou Yingze collapse to the ground, he finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Blood seeped from his mouth and nose, his eyes, ears, and even the pores in his hair.
Although the scene was horrific, Zhao Sheng was surprisingly in good spirits.
Five hundred years passed, and he reincarnated twice. In the end, he avenged the destruction of his family and the dispersal of his children in his previous life.
Finally... it's over!
It's over!
At this moment, Zhao Sheng let out a long breath, feeling incredibly relaxed, and even the burning pain in his soul was greatly relieved.
After calming down for a while, Zhao Sheng composed himself, stepped forward, and put the corpses of Zhou Yingze and the Molten Gold Frog into his storage bag.
Then, without even looking at it, he closed the treasure chest lid and put it away.
He's almost dead, he's not in the mood to watch this.
After finally retrieving the Flame Pearl, Zhao Sheng looked inward into his Purple Mansion and sensed that the Soul-Destroying True Fire on his Sea of Souls had begun to burn fiercely again.
Gradually, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.
He cannot die now; he must at least wait until he completes his final move.
Although the Soul-Destroying True Fire is considered unsolvable, fortunately he can temporarily replenish his depleted spirit by continuously transforming his essence and blood.
Although it was like drinking poison to quench thirst, and although it wouldn't last long, it was enough for Zhao Sheng!
