Start from Wusheng

Chapter 1209

Through conversation, Zhou You learned that the powerful warrior opposite him was named Hei Jie, and his experiences were quite moving.

Lord Shen guarded the southern border, which was the most peaceful period of his life. Later, the empire collapsed, and rebels and evil forces rose up everywhere. In order to survive, he had no choice but to fight desperately.

Then, under Lord Shen, he was slaughtered by a calamity, leaving only Lai Hantian and Ao Donglai. He then joined Ao Donglai's sect. In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed, and he has grown from a mountain boy into the powerful warrior he is today.

Zhou You sighed with emotion upon hearing this, "Brother Hei, you've really had a tough time!"

This is the truth, spoken from the bottom of my heart.

Unexpectedly, Hei Jie looked at him with sympathy, saying, "Isn't it even more difficult for your Zhou Clan's Western Branch? Over the years, you've been sending waves of elite disciples to the North for training, while also dealing with battles against the Qi family."

"Brother Zhou, have you ever been to the North? What are the witches like there...?"

Before Zhou You could even formulate an answer, he was met with a shocking piece of news.

"Ever since the sorcerer proclaimed himself the Holy King, left the northern border, and killed Zhenbei Ge, all six northern states have fallen."

"The former Bei Xuan Zhu has become a resistance organization, relentlessly fighting against the Holy King of the Witch Clan. The Zhou Clan's Western Branch has continuously sent elite troops to participate in this effort, which can be described as both heroic and moving."

What? The bull is dead?

Zhou You was shocked. How could someone from the Wu tribe kill Niu Gong? How could the mighty Zhenbei Ge have perished just like that?

But he couldn't show any surprise, otherwise his identity would definitely be exposed.

He slowly exhaled, "What kind of holy king is this? These barbarians are just trying to make themselves look good. They're neither saint nor king, just some incongruous chieftain!"

Hei Jie laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, you're so generous! Isn't that Witch Saint King just a tribal chief?"

His expression immediately darkened. "But we can't be careless. He was able to defeat Zhen Beige in a head-on fight, so his strength is among the top in the Heavenly Ladder."

"The Wu Clan has been passed down from ancient times. They may have some secret methods to take shortcuts. Although they may not be able to compare with a true martial saint, they are definitely no match for a half-saint."

"My mentor mentioned that he was quite wary of that Holy King."

Hmm, even Ao Donglai admits he's inferior to the other party, so who is the Holy King?
Then Hei Jie said, "Fortunately, a group of mixed-blood witches bravely stepped forward to fight and directly resisted the expansion of the witches. The chaos in Bei Xuan Zhu was stopped in the six northern states."

"Well, those mixed-blood witches have a clear stance and haven't become accomplices of the witches."

Zhou You recalled Mu Sigui, Wu Luoye, Lu Xiangxing, and others, who all stood on the side of humanity when faced with matters of great importance. He made a decision: after leaving the southern border, he would first go to the vicinity of Li Huo Prefecture to investigate the situation regarding the conflict between Zhou and Qi. Then he would go to the northern lands to uncover the truth.

As the two talked, Ao Donglai and Mu Muleizheng's fight gradually got better. The collision between Shengxian and Daqian Blade caused dark cracks to rise and fall. If you were not careful, black light would fall on the mountaintop and swallow the entire mountain.

The sky was filled with lightning, as if being torn apart and devoured by a giant ferocious beast, with terrifyingly large gaps appearing frequently.

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, two figures clashed back and forth, slashing with swords and sweeping with staffs, their movements soaring through the air, the sound of air being torn apart resounding like the thunder of drums. These were top-tier Heavenly Sect masters and half-saints ascending to heaven; their every move stirred the power of heaven and earth, already showing signs of being inhuman.

Niu Gong was born in Bei Xuan Zhu. The reason he was given the title "Niu" (牛) was not only to describe his awesomeness, but also because he was "non-human". The two strokes of his surname "Zhu" were removed, leaving the character "Niu".

Thinking of this, Zhou You felt a pang of sadness. The fall of Niu Gong and the fall of the North had brought too much to his life during his time in Tianzhu. Time flowed on, leaving no room for delay; many things in the world awaited his intervention to set things right.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Congratulations, Brother Hei, your master is about to win!"

Hei Jie exclaimed, in his view, the two sides were evenly matched, and it would probably take another ten days and ten nights to see the outcome. How could he be so sure that a victor would be decided soon?
next moment……

Ao Donglai laughed and said, "Mu Leizheng, let me let you know that it's not you who lost to me, but the Human Race Sect that lost to Zhou Daqian."

"This move, the Great Thousand Blade, is Zhou Daqian's sword technique. Even though he has been gone for many years, you will still be shrouded in his shadow. With just a trace of his legacy, you will all be defeated!"

As he spoke, the broken sword slashed through the void, its trajectory enveloping Mu Leizheng's body, which was fused with the sacred artifact Dawn.

Mu Leizheng made a move to counter, expecting it to be the same as their countless previous encounters, but the opponent's strength was beyond his expectations.

The blade cleaved down, as if opening the door to another world, making one feel ethereal and free from the constraints of flesh and blood, allowing them to soar infinitely and ascend into a more advanced realm.

Ascending to the mortal realm is an irresistible temptation for every living being in the real world.

If you just talk the talk, you can't fool anyone. But the Great Thousand Blades can show those who are affected an infinitely beautiful world. Compared to the various flaws and disappointments of reality, it makes people yearn to get rid of it.

Mu Leizheng was momentarily dazed, his mind wavering, and then he used his fighting instincts to activate the Holy Artifact Dawn to fight back.

The impact of ascending to the Great Thousand Worlds on the mind is secondary; the attacks that land on the body are particularly deadly. A flash of light, and a layer of skin is sliced ​​off out of thin air, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Clearly, it means that one has ascended to some unknown world.

"This is the true Great Thousand Blade. No matter how you explain it, the key lies in this one strike."

Mu Leizheng suddenly realized that this strike was named after Zhou Daqian and had a clear lineage. It was learned by Ao Donglai from Zhou Daqian. According to the theory that a replica is not as good as the original, if a high-quality replica is already this powerful, then if Zhou Daqian were still alive, how terrifying would his strike be if he were still standing?

He heard Ao Donglai's voice in his ear, "If you should be defeated but don't, what if you perish?"

The power of the Great Thousand Blades was overwhelming, forcing her out of her fused holy artifact state.

The battle was decided in a single move. Mu Leizheng and the two black dots of the sacred artifact fell from the sky, facing Ao Donglai, who was holding a sword and maintaining his stance.

Ao Donglai took a step forward, intending to press his advantage, when he heard the threat from Lingyun Palace.

"If you dare to kill him, the Southern Frontier will surely pay with the deaths of millions in the future as retaliation!"

Lingyun Palace was not present, but he sealed the sentence with his fist intent. The trigger condition was Mu Leizheng's defeat.

The intention was very clear: to threaten Ao Donglai not to finish him off.

Ao Donglai suppressed his anger. Given the current situation in southern Xinjiang, it was difficult to withstand the threat of a large-scale invasion by the Human Race Cult.

Moreover, given the ruthlessness of Lingyun Palace, the massacre of ten million people is not necessarily an exaggeration.

With his current strength, he is not yet able to contend with the top experts in the Heavenly Ladder, the Lingyun Palace.

"You go!"

When Ao Donglai said this, the crowd watching the battle was in an uproar. They could not hear the threat from Lingyun Palace and did not understand why Ao Donglai had shown mercy.

Faced with Hei Jie's confusion, Zhou You smiled without saying a word. It seems that Lingyun Palace is getting stronger with age and doing better and better. Even now, it is one of the few top experts in the world.

This is terrifying. Although the person is old, they are not outdated and keep up with the times to occupy a high position.
