The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 182 You can say that the Celestial Master is strong, but you can't say that Xuanzhen is weak.
From the perspective of the cherry blossoms,

Zhang Tianlu is too strong; I can't beat him. Challenging him is just courting death.

The Demon Slayer is also incredibly powerful, and challenging him carries a huge risk.

After some analysis, they decided that Xuanzhen was the best person to challenge.

Xuanzhen's attempts to fight have all ended in crushing defeats.

Even when Nakano Kotomi provoked them at the gates of Longhu Mountain last time, Xuanzhen didn't make a move.

Judging from his numerous achievements and performance, Xuanzhen is currently a person of high status on Longhu Mountain, but whose strength is only average.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xuanzhen had so many negative battle records.

So they directly chose Xuanzhen and challenged him to a duel.

And they have full confidence.

This time we will definitely be able to avenge our previous defeat.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master agreed to the duel, and the two sides set a time to meet at noon two days later on the Cherry Blossom Sea.

The rules for the duel are simple, except that magical artifacts and treasures are prohibited, and outside help is required.

play hard.

No matter what method you use, as long as you beat the opponent, you win.

One round determines the outcome.

The challenge two days later caused a huge stir in both Japan and China.

Many people are paying attention to this battle, and many high-ranking Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain have also gathered at the Celestial Master's Mansion.

They heard that Master Xuanzhen had accepted the challenge from the cherry blossom side.

A meeting began at the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Many high-ranking Taoist priests were worried about the safety of Xuanzhen Celestial Master.

“Master, isn’t this agreement a bit too aggressive? After all, the Cherry Blossom Sea is quite close to their territory. If they want to do something underhanded or lay an ambush there, we’ll be in a very passive position.”

"Yes, since the other party dared to issue a challenge this time, it means they must have come prepared. I think we should plan this carefully, otherwise it would be too risky for you to go alone."

"If you don't win, the reputation of Longhu Mountain will inevitably be damaged."

"I can't lose to anyone but Sakura-chan."

Inside the Celestial Master's Mansion, they listened to the words of this group of high-ranking Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain.

Xuanzhen's expression turned even uglier.

He coughed and said, "Alright, that's enough. You've all been led astray, haven't you? Just listen to what's being said outside. Don't you even understand your own people?"
Am I as weak as people say? You've all been blinded by the brilliance of the Celestial Master. It's true that I was losing a lot of time recently, but I couldn't beat the Celestial Master.

Since when can those cherry blossom brats jump on my head? Lose? How can I lose?

Xuanzhen slammed his hand on the table.

The next second, terrifying five thunderbolts instantly surged out from his five fingers, intertwining and converging in his palm to form a terrifying bolt of lightning.

He slammed his hand on the table, smashing it to dust.

Turn into thunder slag.

At the same time, a huge rumble of thunder came from the clear sky above them.

A clap of thunder on a clear day on Longhu Mountain.

Clearly, the emotions of this Xuanzhen Celestial Master had triggered changes in the celestial phenomena.

This is a clear manifestation of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method reaching an extremely high level of cultivation.

He saw that Master Xuanzhen was angry and heard a thunderous roar in his ears.

Only then did all the high-ranking Taoist priests present realize what was happening.

They do seem to have fallen into a misconception.

The reason they were so nervous this time was because they were misled by some comments on the internet.

At the same time, their eyes were blinded by the light of the Celestial Master.

They completely forgot the power of their own Xuanzhen Celestial Master.

As Master Xuanzhen said, the reason he lost the first two times was because his opponent was Master Zu, not because he was bad.

On the contrary, this Xuanzhen Celestial Master possessed extraordinary talent.

His talent and strength are even enough to rank him among the top ten of all the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain in history.

This Xuanzhen Celestial Master was a genius from a young age. He could recognize a thousand characters at the age of 2, studied Taoist scriptures at the age of 3, mastered Taoist scriptures at the age of 7, and achieved great spiritual enlightenment at the age of 10.

He began learning magic at the age of 11, and in just two years, he simultaneously cultivated the Dao of Talismans, the Dao of Magic, and the Dao of Flying Swords of Longhu Mountain.

At the age of 15, he mastered the art of flying swordsmanship and followed the previous generation of the Celestial Master down the mountain to slay demons.

At the age of 15, he single-handedly killed two demon kings with his flying sword.

At the age of 16, he officially gained the recognition of the previous generation of Celestial Masters and was taught the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

Three years later, he completed the Five Thunder Orthodox Method. Before the age of 20, he directly cultivated the nine levels of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to the sixth level.

Now in his forties, he has basically completed the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

It can be said that his magical abilities are unparalleled.

What he lacks is skill and understanding.

In terms of talent, this Xuanzhen Celestial Master is actually not lacking at all.

Even the Celestial Master Zhang Tianlu never raised any questions about Xuanzhen's talent from beginning to end. He always emphasized that he should work hard to cultivate and enhance his own power and realm.

This shows just how terrifying the talent of this Xuanzhen Celestial Master was.

If it weren't for the current apocalypse that binds him to cultivation, Master Xuanzhen might even have had the opportunity to ascend directly to the upper realm.

That sudden clap of thunder in clear weather just demonstrated just how terrifying his strength truly is.

Xuanzhen: I'm no match for the Celestial Master, but can't I beat Sakura brat?

I don't know what you're worried about?
Have you all forgotten who was holding up Longhu Mountain before the Celestial Master came back to life?
The group of high-ranking Taoist priests instantly recalled the terrifying power of this Xuanzhen Celestial Master.

Instantly, they stopped worrying.

This wave of anxiety can be attributed to those netizens.

Upon recalling the cultivation level of this Xuanzhen Celestial Master, they immediately felt relieved.

With that kind of strength, anyone who comes would die.

……

Two days passed quickly.

Two days later, over at the cherry blossom area.

The core figures of the Cherry Blossom and Chrysanthemum faction also held a press conference.

This challenge was meticulously planned by them. These guys were brimming with confidence, believing they were certain to win, so naturally they wanted to build momentum for themselves.

These reporters were invited by the group themselves. They were required to film the entire battle with Xuanzhen of Longhu Mountain and then report on it extensively upon their return.

If Xuanzhen loses, they want the entire Sakura and Dragon Kingdom to know that Sakura's Onmyoji strength far surpasses that of Longhu Mountain.

Your proud purple-robed Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is nothing more than a defeated opponent of Sakura.

To this end, the core members of the Cherry Blossom and Chrysanthemum faction specially arranged several cruise ships to entertain these reporters.

They even started live streaming from the moment they set sail, recording the entire process.

While the cherry blossom area was making a grand spectacle of its development, there was little activity on Longhu Mountain's side.

Many tourists from China come here specifically to visit Longhu Mountain and wait in advance at its foot.

They watched as the Taoist priests and celestial masters from Longhu Mountain descended the mountain, taking their time.

We boarded an ordinary-looking bus and headed straight for the beach.

It left many Chinese tourists dumbfounded.

Are they going to a duel to meet?

Looking at the grand promotion and overwhelming publicity surrounding the cherry blossoms.

Looking at the buses on the Longhushan side, they even have the words "capacity 25 people" printed on them.

They were clearly hired from the roadside.

These two groups are completely different.

Tourist: "Wow, it feels like the Taoist priest isn't going to keep an appointment, but rather on a vacation."

"This is way too relaxed."

"6! It feels about the same as taking the company shuttle bus to work, hahaha!"
