Chapter 356: Chapter 299: Death of the Knife Demon_2

This moment of confrontation between the two of them was like the collision of two turbulent rivers, stirring up monstrous waves and thousands of sprays.

This further destroyed the protective array near the Ancestral Master Hall. After a series of confrontations, Li Xuan retreated a few dozen feet, settled in the courtyard, and then, with the help of an elixir, was forcefully repairing the shattered muscles, bones, and meridians within his body.

Li Zhetian also retreated to about thirty feet away, inserting a three-inch-long silver needle into his body to stabilize the injuries that were gradually being triggered inside him.

He looked at Li Xuan with a smile on his face: "If this is the extent of your ability, then I advise you to give up, for I will be the inescapable nemesis in your dreams."

Li Zhetian also noticed that several pieces of flesh and blood had appeared around them. Behind him stood several people, all of whom were injured with weakened vitality.

——This was caused by their attempt to sneak into the Ancestral Master Hall during their duel.

A large part of these people were injured by the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix.

This bird, whose cultivation was only at the sixth house level, although it had the bloodline of a Divine Beast, its strength by itself was not feared by the cultivators of The Third Door, especially those of The Fourth Gate.

However, in combat, this protector beast acted like Li Xuan’s extended tentacles, capable of embracing and guiding Li Xuan’s Shi of the sword, utilizing it to attack the enemy.

Those attempting to break into the Ancestral Master Hall, needed only to be delayed by it for a moment before they were severely injured or even killed by the aftermath of the duel.

What made them all the more apprehensive at this moment was the growing strength— even terrifying so— of Li Xuan’s Shi and Yi of the sword in his constant confrontation with him——

Not only was it matching his, but it was also overpowering the entire field.

"What are you tangled up with him for!"

With a tone full of anger, Zhang Guanlan’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "I want you to kill Xue Yunrou, not to give you a chance to avenge your past humiliation! You can leave this Li Xuan to others."

With a scornful hum, Li Zhetian sensed two powerful auras approaching.

The two figures rushing here, although their auras were chaotic, their intensity surpassed that of The Fourth Gateway, almost reaching the heavenly level.

"You should have had them come earlier——"

With a look of regret, Li Zhetian glanced at Li Xuan, then with a flash, he turned into a shadow of black light, heading straight for the shrine.

Li Xuan instinctively wanted to intercept, but immediately saw two burly figures dressed in black armor and masked faces charging at him at a speed no less than that of Li Zhetian’s.

At first, Li Xuan was not concerned, they were only at the ’False Heavenly Position.’ Judging from their chaotic aura, they seemed to have certain defects.

But when Li Xuan’s ’Sweeping away the clouds and dust that covered the glorious mountains, and the birds flying back to their nests’ with an imposing manner, cut into one person’s chest and abdomen, his sword could not cut through.

The man’s muscles and bones were even more robust and stronger than his outer armor. The flesh and blood inside even had life, gnawing and intertwining with his ’Bixue Leique Sword’.

It was not until Li Xuan combined HaoYi’s and Thunderbolt’s Shi of the sword to explode within him that he was able to blast him away.

However, at the moment when Li Xuan was obstructed, Li Zhetian’s figure had already entered the Ancestral Master Hall.

This Knife Demon was searching for Zhang Shenye’s figure the moment he entered, and without a pause, he rushed towards Xue Yunrou, who was sitting in the hall in front of the portrait of ancestral teacher Zhang Daoling, refining the ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’.

At this time, Heavenly Master Zhang Shenye still had the strength to fight him. Even in terms of overall strength, he was still slightly better, or else he would not have been able to force Zhang Guanlan to retreat in yesterday’s battle.

But at this moment, all Li Zhetian had to do was to kill a momentarily defenseless person, not to defeat the enemy, which was much easier.

Zhang Shenye’s identity as a Spellcaster doomed him to be strong in offense but weak in defense. How could he protect Xue Yunrou in a close combat with a Wu cultivator of his level?

What Li Zhetian had to be wary of was the Spellcaster’s versatile tactics, to keep himself from falling into the enemy’s trap.

The next moment, he saw Zhang Shenye’s figure standing on the side of the ancestral statue and in front of the portrait of the twelfth vice tianshi, gazing at him with a cold stare.

"Li Zhetian, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

Within Zhang Shenye’s pupils, a red light shone, and he forcibly gripped Li Zhetian’s Primordial Spirit at this moment.

"What are you—"

Li Zhetian’s heart tightened, realizing it was a method of life extraction, intended to forcefully control his three souls and seven spirits, and prevent him from commanding his own flesh.

However, at the same time, Zhang Shenye was also immobile.

But what could the opponent’s ultimate goal be? Surely it can’t just be delaying for these few breaths of moments, just to wait for Xue Yunrou to refine the immortal treasure, right?

And the next instant, all around in this Ancestral Master Hall, strings of countless bow machines sounded. Numerous crossbow arrows as thick as a finger poured down on him like a heavy rain.

Li Zhetian’s Shenpo was being controlled and he was powerless to resist. But the sword in his hand flew out and circled around his body, weaving a waterproof sword screen, blocking off those crossbow arrows one by one.

At the same time, around Li Zhetian’s body, an illusion of snake-scale-like heavy armor appeared making it so that none of the arrows, each with the strength of tens of thousands of jin, could approach his body.

And as Li Zhetian sneered, locking gazes with Zhang Shenye’s hateful and icy eyes, he heard a woman’s angry shout coming from inside this Ancestral Master Hall.

"Cut!"

It was Xue Yunrou. With her hand forming sword arts, the black and white ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’ immediately rose into the air.

Then, in the next instant, this pair of male and female Immortal Swords suddenly turned into two dazzling black and white sword lights, almost perfectly evaded the revolving sword around Li Zhetian’s body, and cut through the heavy-armored illusion on his body instantly.

—This pair of Immortal Swords which should ordinarily take at least one to two hours to refine were being wielded by Xue Yunrou, separating Li Zhetian’s body into three parts.

"How is this possible?"

The sea of Li Zhetian’s consciousness felt cold as if it were incomprehensible. The extreme sense of crisis made his entire body stand on end.

He had already sensed that Xue Yunrou’s Zhengyi Fumo Sword had once again locked onto his head and Primordial Spirit.

"Find it hard to believe?" Zhang Shenye looked at him with a sneer: "Nobody knows that my niece has a latent postnatal ’Five Elements Thunder Body’, inherited from our ancestor. Compare to my two good-for-nothing children, she is actually more suitable to inherit the Heavenly Sutra of Tianyi and the Zhengyi Fumo Sword."

Even now, Zhang Shenye continued to forcibly pull at Li Zhetian’s Primordial Spirit using his secret technique, making the latter only able to use the sword that bears part of his Divine Consciousness to resist Xue Yunrou’s Zhengyi Fumo Sword.

A gloomy flame burned in Zhang Shenye’s eyes: "Of course, it is still not enough for her to refine the Zhengyi Fumo Sword quickly just like this. So for this, I have consumed an additional thirty years of my lifespan, just so I could make you, Li Zhetian, never recover!"

"Cut!"

Xue Yunrou issued a second command, and the white and black sword light containing Five Directions Thunder had already broken through Li Zhetian’s sword Shi.

At this critical moment, Li Zhetian caused the two parts of his cut-off body to explode abruptly. The flesh and blood containing heavenly level energy splattered in all directions, causing violent explosions.

His head took this opportunity to break free from Zhang Shenye’s control and fled to the outside.

Zhang Shenye frowned. On instinct, he wanted to do anything he could to stop Li Zhetian from escaping. But then he noticed the many portraits and tablets inside the Ancestral Master Hall.

He sighed softly in resignation, ultimately expanding his Mana with all his strength, doing his utmost to preserve the various items inside the Ancestral Master Hall, preventing them from being damaged by Li Zhetian’s flesh and blood.

Only Xue Yunrou chased him with her wielded sword and targeted Li Zhetian’s Primordial Spirit.

And while these two pursued and fled one another, a remarkably powerful and sharp sword Shi suddenly shot up from the ground.

It was Li Xuan’s ’Bixue Leique Sword’, a fatal and silvery sword light that neatly cleaved Li Zhetian’s head into two halves.

But just as Li Xuan’s ice-thunder blade was about to completely destroy Li Zhetian’s head, Zhang Guanlan suddenly flashed over and grabbed Li Zhetian’s broken head.

But Zhang Guanlan’s expression changed immediately. He sensed that Li Zhetian’s Shenpo had been blasted and crushed by Li Xuan’s sword Shi to the point of fragmentation and disintegration.

He looked once again with great reluctance and anger at those present, especially Li Xuan below and Xue Yunrou, who had a Zhengyi Talisman on her forehead and was wielding the Zhengyi Fumo Sword. Then he disappeared from the sky over Longhu Mountain in a flash.
