A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Amid Bond's silent shouts, Yuan Zhengze turned and fixed his gaze on Tongxin Daoren.

When the latter saw the other looking at him, he immediately felt a spiritual pressure, as if it were a tangible force, descend from the sky. Powerful divine sense and spiritual power assaulted his mind and body like a storm.

But the pressure came quickly and went quickly. Just as he was about to unleash his full spiritual power to resist it, it receded like a tide in an instant.

The copper-hearted Taoist's body trembled and swayed a few times, and cold sweat instantly covered his entire body.

"Using power to intimidate others? So what?"

Yuan Zhengze stared coldly at Tongxin Daoren, his tone becoming increasingly aggressive.

Tongxin Daoist's face turned bright red, his eyes were fixed on the other person, and his lips trembled slightly.

"This brat killed the only successor of my Tongyang Temple. As his teacher, is it inappropriate for me to avenge him?!"

"Even if you are a Foundation Establishment senior of the Azure Lotus Profound Sect, you can't be unreasonable!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ping's expression changed. Fearing that this guide from the Azure Lotus Sect might be deceived by his words, he stepped forward, ready to confront him.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhengze turned his head and glanced at him, his cold gaze directly stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

"This kid is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while you two are at the seventh and sixth levels respectively. You want to reason with me now? If this kid tried to reason with you, would you listen?"

"If I, Yuan, had not been here today, then what you say is the truth, and what you say is revenge."

"Since I've run into you, it means you're abusing your power and bullying my Qinglian disciples. My reasoning is the only reasoning, and I can do whatever I want with you!"

"You've lived to be this old, do I need to elaborate on what the cultivation world is like?"

Although Yuan Zhengze's tone was low, his words were extremely domineering, showing absolutely no intention of negotiation.

Zhou Ping, who was originally filled with trepidation, showed a strange expression after hearing the words of the Azure Lotus Guide.

This Foundation Establishment senior from the Azure Lotus Profound Sect seemed very protective of his own. Although he was not yet a disciple of the Azure Lotus Profound Sect, he had only used a unique spell of the sect, and once the senior noticed, he immediately defended him without any regard for the consequences.

Yuan Zhengze's words undoubtedly made Zhou Ping yearn for the Qinglian Xuanzong even more.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tongxin Daoist uttered three "good"s in a row. Overwhelmed with anger, he suddenly attacked Zhou Ping, having already prepared a Wind Blade Technique and a Flame Talisman obtained from Wuxin Sanren.

The flame power contained in the Blazing Flame Talisman is several times greater than that of the Fireball Technique cast by a Qi Refining stage cultivator, making it an incredibly powerful and precious offensive talisman.

The situation is now completely out of his control; the appearance of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Azure Lotus Profound Sect has driven him into a desperate situation.

But Tongxin Daoist was not willing to sit idly by and wait for death. Even if he died and his Dao disappeared, he would drag Zhou Ping, the culprit, down with him!

Previously, if Tongxin Daoren treated Zhou Ping like a cat playing with a mouse, thinking of capturing him and torturing him in front of his family as revenge.

At that moment, he was determined to kill, and he immediately used his strongest methods; otherwise, he might never have had another chance.

Two attacks, one from above and one from below, were unleashed by the Wind Blade Technique and the Flame Talisman.

The moment Tongxin Daoren launched his attack, Zhou Ping, who was always on edge, reacted immediately. He reversed the position of the Luosheng Lotus Shield in front of him, firmly blocking the gap between him and Tongxin Daoren.

Xia Qianchuan and Gong Yunting noticed Tongxin Daoren's subtle actions immediately. After glancing at the expressionless Yuan Zhengze and seeing the mocking look on his lips, they both chose to stand by and watch.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist Master Tongxin was not pleased; instead, he became even more astonished and uncertain.

After unleashing his two signature attacks, he took out the tortoise-shell spirit shield, which was covered in tiny cracks, once again, ready to defend at any time.

At this moment, the most nervous person in the arena was undoubtedly Zhou Ping. Under the perception of his divine sense and naked eyes, the invisible wind blades and scorching flames, like two deadly devils, instantly invaded his front at a very short distance.

At the critical moment, due to his long-term practice of the Floating Shadow Step, his body instinctively rolled backward, and the azure lotus shield completely covered him.

whoosh-

The invisible wind blade technique was barely dodged by Zhou Ping's rolling body, but the surging flames, like a wall of fire, directly engulfed the lotus shield and Zhou Ping's figure.

The defensive range of the Luo Sheng Lian Shield is ultimately limited. When faced with a wide-range attack talisman like the Flame Talisman, it is bound to be unable to defend against all attacks.

Scorching flames surged from the edge of the lotus shield, burning wildly towards Zhou Ping behind it.

Gong Yiyi, who was eating snacks not far away, was attracted by the commotion. When she saw Zhou Ping about to be engulfed by flames, her eyes widened.

Although Zhou Ping had an ordinary appearance, he was at least close to her age. Compared to the old age of Tongxin Daoren and the sleazy ugliness of Bond, Zhou Ping was undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, upon seeing Zhou Ping in such a perilous situation, with the possibility of losing his life on the spot, Gong Yiyi couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.

She naturally realized that the attack of this Flaming Talisman was equivalent to the full-force strike of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage. Judging from Zhou Ping's cultivation level and the defensive methods he used, it was full of loopholes and he was doomed to die.

Zhou Ping, who was in the center of the flames, naturally understood the danger he was in better than anyone else. His Luo Sheng Lian Shield, which was his greatest defensive measure, had lost its effectiveness in the face of the raging flames.

The Copper Heart Daoist, at the late stage of Qi Refining, coupled with the blazing flame spell he unleashed, was simply beyond his ability to withstand.

This attack, which happened in an instant, plunged Zhou Ping into despair. He had neither the time nor the strength to escape and could only watch as he was engulfed by the flames.

Ultimately, this was still a case of a high-level cultivator overwhelming a low-level cultivator. Tongxin Daoist was three minor realms higher than Zhou Ping, and the difference was obvious to the naked eye.

After making defensive preparations, Tongxin Daoren saw that the guide from Qinglian Xuanzong did not react at all. As Zhou Ping was engulfed by a large area of ​​flames, he was both pleasantly surprised and somewhat suspicious.

The guide from the Azure Lotus Profound Sect said so much, just to put on a show?

"Hmph! A mere trick."

Just as Tongxin Daoren was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a cold voice entered his ears.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yuan Zhengze unleashed a sudden gust of wind that instantly swept away the vast expanse of flames that had already engulfed Zhou Ping, sending them flying towards the one who had unleashed them, Tongxin Daoren.

After the flames were blown away, a green flower bud appeared where Zhou Ping had been standing.
