Infinite Fighting

Chapter 174: There are too many people in charge of the Ascetic Society
Inside the Soul Locking Tower.

On the ninth floor, Ling Xuzi walked alone to the closed alloy sphere.

He had been here before and communicated with the people inside.

He didn't get the answer he wanted during that communication.

"So it's you, no wonder." Xiang Zhe said.

He said that ordinary people had no ability to break the restrictions of the Soul Locking Tower.

Only Ling Xuzi has this ability and knows how to do it.

"Senior, what do you think of the Tiandao Alliance?" Ling Xuzi asked.

"Bullshit, they call themselves the Way of Heaven, but what they do is no different from what we did in the beginning." Xiang Zhe said, "The Way of Heaven is ruthless, and it doesn't care about the level of cultivation or the strength of talent. The real Way of Heaven is fair to everyone."

Ling Xuzi did not comment, nor did he plan to discuss this with Xiang Zhe. He had done this before, and he knew at that time that the man in front of him was even more arrogant and more in line with the law of the jungle.

He asked this just to see Xiang Zhe's attitude towards the Tiandao League.

He was very satisfied with the attitude before him.

"I can let you out, senior." Ling Xuzi said.

“As long as you let me out, I can swear an oath to the devil in my heart and do something for you.” Xiang Zhe interrupted Ling Xuzi without waiting for him to finish.

"Senior, you are joking. With your ability, the inner demon is just nourishment. The inner demon oath has no binding force at all." Ling Xuzi said: "I don't ask anything from you, but it's not easy for you to regain your freedom. Although there are only four people in the God Transformation Stage in the Tiandao League, their strength is far superior to that of the ancient cultivators."

"You want to use my hand to help you eliminate the enemy? That's a good plan. Let me out quickly. I haven't exercised for a long time." Xiang Zhe said.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi did not hesitate. Sword lights flashed continuously, and the restrictions on the alloy sphere were quickly broken. At the same time, the Soul Locking Tower was broken open, and the warning information that all the fugitives had escaped was also passed on to various law enforcement organizations of the Tiandao League.

One after another, the law enforcement shuttles and unmanned spirit puppets have set off.

When the restriction on the alloy sphere was halfway cracked, Xiang Zhe inside also exerted his strength.

"Bang~!"

With one punch, the sphere was forcibly broken.

Xiang Zhe had been absorbing spiritual energy for a long time while in confinement. Although his strength had not been fully restored, it had reached 60% of its original state.

Sixty percent is not low.

In a one-on-one situation, he is confident that he can overwhelm all the cultivators in the world today.

Just like tearing paper, Xiang Zhe used his ten fingers to tear the entire alloy ball apart from the hole, and his figure appeared.

A thin, old body appeared.

His body has lacked spiritual power for more than three thousand years, and he is already quite powerful to be able to maintain his current state.

Ling Xuzi looked at him, and with just one glance, an invisible battle of spiritual thoughts began between the two of them.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka~!”

Cracks appeared on the tower body made of alloy.

Unable to bear the aftermath of the powerful collision of divine thoughts.

"You are better than Yu Xuan. He has taught a good apprentice." Xiang Zhe looked away and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the praise, senior." Ling Xuzi said calmly.

He was actually quite frightened.

I thought that since Xiang Zhe had been imprisoned for so long, and his lifespan was approaching old age, his qi and blood had declined, so his strength would have declined a lot. He was still an ancient cultivator with backward methods, so he would not be very strong.

But at this moment, Ling Xuzi realized that he had misjudged.

The Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart cultivated by [Heart-Eating Demonic Art] is probably no worse than any calculation array available today.

This predecessor has long been at the forefront of the times.

"They're coming."

Xiang Zhe looked into the void, and he could sense four powerful auras.

The moment he broke the seal, he alarmed the four elders of the Tiandao League.

"Let me see if you have made any progress after all these years!"

Xiang Zhe grinned grimly, and his skinny body burst out with terrifying power, and in an instant, he rushed upwards.

"Boom~!"

The space was in turmoil. Xiang Zhe directly destroyed the top of the Soul Locking Tower and rushed out.

While in the air, his majestic divine consciousness spread out and directly covered the entire Taixu sky.

In the distance, above Jiuyou Deep Technology, Mo Ye looked a little bit incredulous.

"He's still alive?"

Because too much time has passed and he has not made any movement.

Many people had forgotten Xiang Zhe's existence, thinking that he had been suppressed and killed.

Mo Ye knew that there was such an ancestor of his family in the Soul Locking Tower. He had even seen him before when he was at the Nascent Soul stage, but this was the first time he actually saw him.

Thinking of the old ancestor's past battle achievements, he suddenly realized that things were getting serious.

Dugu Yunfeng and the other two who had just arrived at Taixutian were also a little surprised.

Originally, they suddenly received a message and saw Ling Xuzi appear near the Soul Locking Tower, and were still wondering why.

Now I understand it all at once.

“We must not let the Heart-Eating Demon and Ling Xuzi join forces. We must suppress him again before he breaks the seal and recovers all his spiritual power!” Nangong Zhiqing said in a voice transmission.

"I don't think Ling Xuzi is here for the Heart-Eating Demon Lord." Zhuge Mingyuan said with some confusion in his eyes.

Although his direct disciple died, he was not actually too sad, nor did he have too much hatred towards Ling Xuzi and Kuxiuhui.

He had transformed himself too deeply, and for the sake of more efficient computing power, he had removed too many unnecessary emotional systems.

Apart from his thirst for knowledge, he didn't have much other emotion left.

"No matter what, he has to give an explanation here today!!" Dugu Yunfeng said in a deep voice.

There was a traitor in Tianjian Group and he caused so many troubles. As a senior brother, he has no choice but to take responsibility.

Xiang Zhe opened his mouth in the air and a violent suction force came out. Hundreds of figures on the ground flew up and were swallowed into his mouth and refined in an instant.

Those were the fugitives who had just escaped from the Soul Locking Tower. Before they could even leave Taixutian, they were eaten by the old demon.

"Hahaha, what delicious blood food!" Xiang Zhe laughed.

"Devil, stop being so arrogant!!"

With a loud shout, a huge bronze tripod was smashed down first.

Xiang Zhe had anticipated this and raised one arm high to push against the Shennong Ding.

"Dang~!"

A buzzing sound was heard, and Xiang Zhe's body swayed slightly in the air, but he still held it up. He opened his mouth and said, "You are not so good. You are far inferior to your father Nangong Yu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted force with his right arm and pushed the Shennong Ding back at a faster speed.

Nangong Zhiqing clasped her hands together and her spiritual power surged out like crazy, controlling the Shennong Ding. Finally, she manipulated it to stop its forward momentum when it landed in front of her.

Mo Ye had also arrived. He said, "It is a cause for celebration that Grandmaster Uncle was able to escape from his body today."

"What's there to be happy about? What's there to celebrate?" Xiang Zhe looked at Mo Ye and said, "You kid, you didn't learn anything else, but you learned the skill of being two-faced. In the beginning, the Xuanming Sect united all the forces to suppress me in order to join the Tiandao League. I thought this was to cultivate a great man, but I never thought that in the end, it would be a useless person like you who would take the lead."

"I am indeed a useless person. Now that my great-grandmaster uncle has returned today, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility again and take charge of Xuanming." Mo Ye bowed respectfully.

Xiang Zhe was about to speak when he heard this, but suddenly realized something. He turned around abruptly, clasped his hands together, and pushed out hard.

In front, Zhuge Mingyuan, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, blasted out a thumb-thick dark blue spiritual power beam. Around the beam, the space was distorted and some black edges appeared. That was the cut space.

Xiang Zhe's spiritual power condensed between his hands, forming a crystal shield, which prevented the light beam from penetrating his body and directed it to the side.

The beam of light flew out and easily broke through the Xuan Ji Wan Hua Formation, creating a hole in it and disappearing without a trace.

“What a powerful divine consciousness that can actually break free from the “Illusionary Heart Technique”.” Mo Ye said.

“He also constructed that spiritual technique temporarily. There is no corresponding spiritual technique in the ancient spiritual technique collection. His Nine Apertures Linglong mental arithmetic ability is very strong, not worse than my [Xuanyuan Quantum Array]. He did not practice the original [Heart-Devouring Demonic Art]. It must have been improved later to have such an effect.” Zhuge Mingyuan said.

"That's right!"

Xiang Zhe had crossed the space and appeared behind Zhuge Mingyuan without knowing when, and then he punched him hard.

"Boom~!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang~!"

In an instant, thousands of layers of protective spiritual arts were broken, and the aftermath was extremely terrifying, like a hurricane passing through, destroying all the buildings below.

In the end, the punch was blocked by a tripod. It was Nangong Zhiqing who made the move. Below, Ling Xuzi and Dugu Yunfeng stared at each other quietly.

"Today, I will correct this mistake."

Dugu Yunfeng's sword intent soared into the sky, and he was ready to take action.

"Dang~!"

However, before he made a move, the buzzing sound from the Shennong Ding being hit attracted his attention first.

"Senior brother, it's time for you to go and help." Ling Xuzi said.

Between the two choices of fighting with Ling Xuzi and helping Nangong Zhiqing and others suppress Xiang Zhe, Dugu Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and pointed to Ling Xuzi.

“Shush, shush, shush~!”

In an instant, the sword box opened, and the 500 million spiritual swords inside turned into a sea of swords and flew out.

However, they were not flying towards Ling Xuzi, but Xiang Zhe.

Ling Xuzi smiled.

He knew his senior brother’s choice.

"Hey~!"

Ling Xuzi drew his sword, and a golden sword light pierced through the sky and earth, but he did not participate in the battle, neither to help Xiang Zhe nor to help Dugu Yunfeng and the others.

"The bloody head's signal is here, move!"

Yan Jiulin received the information and made a decision.

Zhang Ji and others also rushed towards the place where the [Fantasy Realm] was located.

In addition to Jiuyou's deep technology, there is a large formation guarding it.

Everyone flew in easily.

That is the pass of Hehuan Technology. I don’t know how Ling Xuzi got it.

Hehuan Technology and Jiuyou Deep Technology have close cooperation. The two sects are as close as a family and basically share what they have with each other. Even the Taixu Illusionary Realm has given each other enough authority.

Of course, this is just a superficial relationship.

Actually there are subordinate ones.

Hehuan Technology has long been a dog of Jiuyou Deep Technology.

But they obviously don't just want to be dogs, they also want to stand up and be masters.

So we have this scene now.

Soon, Zhang Ji and others flew to the vicinity of the Fantasy Realm. The spirit puppets and drones from Jiuyou Deep Technology reacted first and came to stop them, but they were easily smashed by them.

Zhang Ji raised his hand and shot out a more than six-meter-long soul-suppressing needle, which directly hit the center of the formation outside the Huanzhen Realm, instantly isolating it from part of the connection with the Xuan Ji Wanhua Formation.

On the other side, Yan Jiulin and his companions did the same thing. Soul-suppressing needles were shot out one after another. At this moment, many cultivators who were still enjoying themselves in the illusory world of Taixu were disconnected one after another.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji felt something flying towards him quickly. He turned slightly and a pitch-black flying sword passed by him.

A young man wearing black clothes with gold edges was suspended in the air, looking at Zhang Ji.

He looks very capable in fighting, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His expression is quite arrogant, giving him a kind of cold and arrogant feeling that looks down on everyone.

He is also a character in the main storyline, his name is You Wuya, and he is also Linghu Yao's bootlicker. Later in the Tiandao League, he almost unconditionally protected Linghu Yao and voted for him.

"Nine Nether Depth Technology just used the "Anle Fantasy Array" to execute seven undercover agents of the Ascetic Society last week." You Wuya looked at Zhang Ji and said, "But someone like you who dares to destroy the Fantasy Realm deserves a different way of death."

In response to You Wuya, Zhang Ji's body turned into lightning, flashing in the void, and he suddenly punched you.

[Instant Lightning Without Delay Method], the Shape-Change Divine Ability shrinks, the earth element greatly compresses the罡气 in the body, [Earth-Suppressing Divine Gang] condenses the primordial qi and transforms it into tangible 罡气, and then suddenly punches out.

Zhang Ji originally planned to strike with a palm strike, but the technique takes time to perform and it couldn't be done so quickly.

But it was enough, absolutely enough.

"Om~!"

A mirror shines brightly.

The fifth-rank spiritual weapon [Illusion Mirror].

A high-level spiritual weapon that can be used for both offense and defense. It can be used for defense, and can also create physical projections for combat.

It is considered to be Jiuyou Deep Technology's top technological masterpiece in illusion.

In terms of defense alone, it is no worse than Zhuge Xuanji's [Zhou Tian Calculation Array].

However, at this moment, it had almost no protective effect and was smashed directly by Zhang Ji's punch filled with strong Qi. The power of the fist fell on You Wuya, and he didn't even have time to show a look of horror.

"Boom~~!"

You Wuya was blasted into pieces, and the violent force carried him along with him, leaving traces of horrific destruction in the area of dozens of miles behind him.

"It was defeated in one move. What else is there to say?"

Compared to the previous situation where he had to put some effort into defeating Zhuge Xuanji, now Zhang Ji can kill You Wuya, who is almost as powerful as Zhuge Xuanji, in seconds.

With the blessing of the two major fighting crystal attributes, [True Blue Water] and [Earth-Suppressing Divine Force], he has more methods and his strength is even stronger. Although he is not at the true S-level realm, his combat power can no longer be regarded as an ordinary S-level.

Killing such a great genius, a top-level figure, is like killing a dog.

Even if he was truly a deity, he would still be no match for him without his special skills.

At least someone like Nangong Zhiqing, whose cultivation level was achieved by taking drugs, and whose combat power basically depends entirely on spiritual weapons and external objects, and whose manipulation techniques are nothing special, Zhang Ji feels that he can kill her within a hundred rounds.

He continued to inject the soul-soothing needle into the center of the formation, and soon his task was completed.

Yan Jiulin still had some unfinished work to do, so Zhang Ji flew to help, and killed several law enforcement monks who had arrived on the way.

Finally, the entire Fantasy Realm was removed from the Xuan Ji Wan Hua Formation. Yan Jiulin took out the folding cave that he had prepared long ago and put it away in one go.

The huge fantasy world disappeared directly in the Taixu Sky.

Now, Mo Ye and the others finally knew what Ling Xuzi’s real purpose was.

But there was nothing they could do. Xiang Zhe was very powerful, and Ling Xuzi was also nearby, so they couldn't get away.

Between two evils, we have to choose the lesser one and keep Xiang Zhe.

Let this devil go and recover his full strength. He alone can cause disturbances to the Tiandao Alliance.

The most important thing is that Xiang Zhe has no bottom line. He is an absolute devil, and his actions are even more filthy than those of the Ascetic Order.

After taking away the Fantasy Realm, Zhang Ji and others prepared to retreat.

Zhang Ji and Yan Jiulin flew in front, preparing to meet up with Ling Xuzi and leave Taixutian together.

But halfway through, Zhang Ji suddenly had a premonition, and raised his palm to clash with Yan Jiulin.

"Boom~!"

The two figures separated.

[True Lord of Iron] Huo Chuan and [Lord of Punishment of Bones] Cui Wei vaguely surrounded Zhang Ji, and together with Yan Jiulin, they formed a triangle to block Zhang Ji in the middle.

Cui Wei has been controlled by his inner demons, and Huo Chuan, a confidant trained by Yan Jiulin, let him die without hesitation.

Zhang Ji looked at Yan Jiulin and asked, "Brother Yan, what do you mean?"

"Brother, why didn't you tell me that you are a demon from outside the domain?" Yan Jiulin said with a straight face.

"It's too distant to say 'celestial demon'." Zhang Ji smiled and said, "We are close neighbors. It takes less than a day's journey, which is closer than going overseas. If you want, I can take you home to visit."

"There's no need to visit, but brother, you know, what the Ascetic Society has to do is our own business. It's not appropriate for an outsider like you to get involved." Yan Jiulin said, "So, brother Zhang, I can only ask you to leave."

Zhang Ji's smile faded, and after a two-second pause, he said, "Do you think there are too many people in charge of the Ascetic Society?"

The next moment, beside Zhang Ji, half of [Xing Gu Gong]'s body was shattered, and Zhang Ji took his life with a palm, freeing him from a life controlled by others.

“It’s still a bit much!”

"Boom~!"

Huo Chuan also went offline very quickly.

Yan Jiulin tried to stop it, but failed.

Zhang Ji just flashed, slapped out his palm, and the man was killed.

A cultivator like Huo Chuan, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, had the ability to kill instantly when Zhang Ji first arrived in this world, let alone now.

Finally, Zhang Ji's eyes fell on Yan Jiulin and said, "One deputy blood leader is enough, how can there be two? The management structure of the Ascetic Society is too unreasonable."

Yan Jiulin felt a fatal threat, a feeling that was stronger than any battle he had ever experienced. Even though he had broken through to the God Transformation realm during his previous retreat, his higher level of cultivation did not give him much sense of security.

He suddenly realized something, that he might have made a wrong judgment.
