Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Battling Ying Zhuge

Zhou Xuanji gazed at Ying Zhuge in the distance, but he didn’t look surprised.

After all, he had already learned of Ying Zhuge’s involvement in this mission way before coming here.

And there wasn’t even any need to guess Ying Zhuge’s mission: It was to suppress him.

“What do you want?” Nangong Jiayin asked in a deep voice. She recognized Ying Zhuge at first glance. After all, he was the strongest competitor in the Superstar Competition.

Even if she and Zhou Xuanji teamed up, their strength couldn’t compare to Ying Zhuge’s at all.

The gap between them was simply too big.

Without anyone else’s help, they were definitely not Ying Zhuge’s opponent.

“You can leave, I’m just here for him,” Ying Zhuge replied in a very calm manner. From the beginning to the end, his gaze was locked on Zhou Xuanji.

At the end of the Superstar Competition, he told Zhou Xuanji that he was hoping for Zhou Xuanji to grow up quickly.

Zhou Xuanji flew straight at him, without a trace of fear.

“Take him to the side and hide,” Zhou Xuanji said without even turning his head.

Nangong Jiayin wanted to stop him but just as the words reached her lips, she stopped herself.

Ying Zhuge was blocking them. They had no way to escape.

Zhou Xuanji directly cast the Sword Fusion Technique and the Nine Soul Fusion Technique as he took out the Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos in his right hand.

This sword needed the cultivation base of intermediate-level Dao-Treading Saint, and Zhou Xuanji had already crossed the threshold.

The Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos was as large as a python, and it was pitch black and had a metallic sheen. The tip of the sword was forked like the tongue of a snake.

Ying Zhuge glanced at his sword before quickly withdrawing his gaze.

This was the first time Zhou Xuanji was using a Mysterious Dao-grade sword.

Ancient Gazing, Disaster Releasing, Universe Essence, Overturning Heaven, Connecting Heaven, Nine Extreme, Primordial Chaos, Mysterious Dao, Supreme Lord, Vast Sky, Universal Fusion, Court Toppling!

The Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos could swallow the Great Daos. Only God knew whether it could swallow the dao energy of a Nine Vast Heavens cultivator.

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji’s aura had already surpassed the level of a Dao-Treading Saint. Nangong Jiayin’s bulged wide in shock. She was greatly taken aback.

This Kid…

Is it possible to have this kind of pressure in the Dao-Treading Saint Realm?

Nangong Jiayin felt that Zhou Xuanji was not weaker than herself.

“No wonder you were judged as an eighteen-star genius. Fight with me once. I will lower my cultivation to yours and fight,” Ying Zhuge said, staring at Zhou Xuanji.

In the next moment, he started walking in the air, heading toward Zhou Xuanji.

BOOM!

His aura suddenly erupted extremely powerfully.

Zhou Xuanji took the initiative to make a move and started fighting with Ying Zhuge. A blue screen of light immediately appeared around Ying Zhuge, blocking the Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos like armor.

Instantly, the Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos started absorbing Ying Zhuge’s dao energy.

Ying Zhuge raised his brow and didn’t panic. Suddenly, the silver armor exploded, sending Zhou Xuanji flying.

Zhou Xuanji promptly cast the Primordial Chaos Sword Shadows as billions of sword shadows flew toward Ying Zhuge from every possible direction, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Suddenly, the cosmic space started fluctuating, setting off the winds of space and time.

The next moment, eighty-one sword souls appeared around Zhou Xuanji with him as the center. The sword tips were facing outwards, like Sword Sect Immortal Ghost Weep.

This was the Sword Shield Art, which he was using with sword souls.

His black hair danced in the air as his purple pupils flickered with a cold gleam. He was displaying the Sword Emperor’s spirit incisively and vividly.

Ying Zhuge stepped forward as the Primordial Chaos Sword Shadows couldn’t touch him at all. All of them were neutralized by his Dao energy like nothing.

“Excellent! Zhou Xuanji, you really didn’t disappoint me!” Ying Zhuge praised, smiling proudly. He had never said something like this when facing Chu Mochen.

He was very excited.

Although there was still an insurmountable gap between Zhou Xuanji and him, Zhou Xuanji’s aptitude was already acknowledged by him.

If this Kid was the same level as me, what kind of strength would he show?

Zhou Xuanji didn’t answer as he kept charging at him. The Thunderclap Sword suddenly appeared in his left hand.

With the two swords like winds, he fiercely attacked Ying Zhuge.

However, Ying Zhuge easily blocked all his attacks without even raising his hand.

He just relied on his Dao Energy to block his dual swords!

Ying Zhuge might not have been using the power of Nine Vast Heavens but the intensity of his dao energy and physical strength was still there. If he wanted to hurt Ying Zhuge, it was easier said than done.

Even so, he gave it his all.

If he lost, Ying Zhuge would probably catch him and take him back to the Emperor Divine Range.

After that, he was definitely not getting a friendly welcome.

Zhou Xuanji used all kinds of sword dao divine abilities, changing at the drop of a hat whereas Ying Zhuge just waved his palm. This palm carried endless good fortune.

Facing this palm, Zhou Xuanji saw a colorful image of a world before him. And in the next moment, he was sent flying, coughing blood.

He grit his teeth and held on. He felt like his body was about to blow.

“Damn it…”

Zhou Xuanji was incomparably furious. His face grew colder.

The more furious he was, the calmer he was.

He promptly calmed his mind down with everything he got. In this state, his aura grew stronger.

His divine abilities were simply boundless. Every attack made the universe collapse, creating rifts in space, one after another.

Ying Zhuge began to exert more of his strength. He waved his one hand as if he was painting with an invisible pen, guiding the mountains and rivers and squandering his dao energy.

One after another, images of heaven and earth appeared behind him. It was the phenomena caused by the Nine Vast Heavens.

He kept staring at Zhou Xuanji with a scorching hot gaze as if he was looking at prey.

As the two got closer and closer, Zhou Xuanji’s aura was gradually suppressed.

Even if the Almighty Divine Snake Sword of Controlling Daos was constantly eating away Ying Zhuge’s dao energy, it was of no avail.

The difference between the two was simply too big. It was like an ant trying to drink the ocean. Only God knew when it could drink it all!?

Nangong Jiayin grew worried at the sight of this. But she had no idea what she should do.

Xie Houli frowned. He hadn’t expected Zhou Xuanji to be so strong.

His cultivation had already reached Dao Ancestor Realm, but later he offended the Emperor Divine Range, which sealed his cultivation. Even if he didn’t have the dao energy, his experience was still there.

“He is really worthy of eighteen-star aptitude,” Xie Houli said with a sigh. He looked lonely and despondent.

He could have enjoyed the same treatment at Zhou Xuanji. But his aptitude was awakened too late. After he had caused the catastrophe, the Emperor Divine Range could no longer allow him to grow. They would only use him as the weapon.

The more he thought about it, the more saddened he became.

Fate was really unkind to him.

BOOM!

Zhou Xuanji was sent flying again. Just as he stabilized his footing, Ying Zhuge suddenly raised his hand and said, “Enough, let’s stop!”

Zhou Xuanji was stunned. He asked, frowning, “If you want to fight with your full strength, you are welcome to try!”

He believed that Ying Zhuge was tired of playing.

“I don’t want to kill you or arrest you. I only wanted to test your true strength. By the way, I advise you to not go any further,” Ying Zhuge raised the corner of his lips and stated calmly.

After he was finished, he turned around and started leaving.

Zhou Xuanji’s frown still didn’t relax; rather, his frown became deeper.

“By the way, when you pick up a mission in the future, pick it up personally. Don’t trust the Void Boundary Palace too much and don’t trust the Evil Sky Divine Range either. The Beast Sovereign is indeed powerful but he hasn’t reached the point where he has a say in everything.”

After having dropped this sentence, Ying Zhuge quickly disappeared.

The universe was still collapsing.

Nangong Jiayin flew to Zhou Xuanji with Xie Houli and asked, concerned, “Are you okay?”

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, “I’m alright! He told us to not go any further. Could it be that there is already an ambush at the border of the Kunlun Origin Court?”
