I can gather experience beads

As everyone retreated, the originally noisy void gradually quieted down, and in the end, only Cao Rui and Ji Zhan were left standing opposite each other.

The atmosphere between them was extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen. A thrilling battle was about to begin...

In a corner of the vast void in the distant viewing area, Sun Daoyi, Lu Xudong, An Tong, as well as the core member of the Deep Blue Organization, Zhan Chen and other top cultivators, as if they had telepathic connection, gathered together naturally.

Each of them exudes a powerful aura that cannot be underestimated.

At this moment, Sun Daoyi could not hide his excitement and was the first to speak: "Everyone, look at this fierce battle between Cao Rui and Ji Zhan. In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, it will probably become the most pinnacle battle of refining emptiness in our Red Cloud Vortex in thousands of years!"

His voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to the battle ahead.

An Tong on the side nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Sun Daoyi's opinion, and then added: "That's right, if Cloak Patriarch Cao Rui can really defeat Ji Zhan this time..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then looked at everyone with a determined gaze and continued, "Then this is enough to prove that our Red Cloud Whirlpool's Four Directions Heaven Realm is definitely considered a top-notch area for cultivating immortals even in the entire spiritual world!"

It turned out that An Tong had carefully read the detailed information about the Blue Robe Pirates before. While marveling at the unfathomable and powerful background behind this mysterious organization, he was also well aware of Ji Zhan's terrifying strength.

As far as he knew, Ji Zhan had never been defeated in his many years of roaming the starry sky, especially when facing those cultivators from the heavenly realm, he showed overwhelming advantage.

At this time, Lu Xudong, who had been squinting his eyes to observe the battle situation, slowly said: "But everyone, don't forget that Ji Zhan is an extremely powerful swordsman. Given Cao Rui's current condition, it will be extremely difficult for him to defeat such a powerful enemy."

His words were like a bucket of cold water, calming down the excited crowd.

"But this time we are raising 3 million Tianji and asking Cao Rui to help."

"No matter whether Cao Rui wins or loses, we have shown our attitude to the Blue Robe Pirates. Maintaining the status quo is the bottom line. If we continue to cross the line, we will have to consider the anger of the monks in our central area."

Zhan Chen curled his lips when he heard this: "Chief Lu, my leader hasn't even started the fight yet, and you're already trying to boost others' morale? That's not appropriate."

Although Zhan Chen's combat power is several hundred levels lower than Lu Xudong's, he is not afraid of Lu Xudong at all.

Lu Xudong glanced at Zhan Chen, and for Cao Rui's sake, he didn't argue with him, "I naturally hope Cao Rui can win."

As soon as the words fell, something changed on the scene.

In the void, the people who came to watch the fierce battle had not yet completely evacuated thousands of feet away.

At this moment, Ji Zhan's mouth corners suddenly curled up slightly, revealing a cunning and fierce smile.

Then, without any warning, he suddenly drew out the heavy sword on his back, rushed out like lightning, and slashed towards Cao Rui fiercely.

"That damn bastard Ji Zhan actually launched a sneak attack!" Zhan Chen, who was watching the fight from the side, was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

His roar instantly attracted the attention of a group of blue-robed pirates on a speedship docked in the distance. They all had their eyes wide open and stared at Zhan Chen fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Zhan Chen glared back unwillingly. There were nearly a thousand monks gathered in the Red Cloud Vortex now. They were really unruly and got carried away with their passion, so it was no surprise that they started fighting!

Cao Rui, who was in the center of the battlefield, was also slightly stunned by Ji Zhan's sudden action.

He really didn't expect that Ji Zhan would attack without even saying hello. He was so shameless.

However, on second thought, after all, this man was a notorious space pirate, so it didn't seem surprising that he would do such a despicable and vulgar thing.

After all, this insidious and cunning method is quite consistent with his identity as a space pirate.

Faced with such a close sneak attack, it was too late to use the Xuanwu True Shadow magical power.

At the critical moment, Cao Rui acted decisively, opened his mouth and suddenly spewed out a treasure - the top-grade spiritual treasure Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella.

He quickly mobilized the powerful magic power in his body and injected it into it, causing the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella to instantly burst into a dazzling light and steadily lay across in front of him, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and an extremely terrifying, overwhelming force gushed out from the heavy sword, like a ferocious and violent beast, and slammed heavily into the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella.

In an instant, the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time due to the huge impact force.

Fortunately, Cao Rui reacted quickly. He quickly stretched out a hand and tightly grasped the umbrella handle, trying his best to stabilize the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella.

If it had been a minute later, this extremely precious magic weapon would have been overturned, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

"How is this possible?" Everyone present was dumbfounded, looking at the shocking scene in disbelief.

Ji Zhan was seen holding a heavy sword, which exuded a terrifying pressure, as if it could split the sky and the earth in half.

"This level of force... is simply beyond imagination!" someone murmured to himself.

People speculated about the source of this powerful force, whether it was the power contained in this magical sword, or the unfathomable physical strength of Ji Zhan himself...

Or is it that the two complement each other and together create such a shocking scene?

At this moment, the mark of the underworld between Cao Rui's eyebrows suddenly flashed with dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, his ghostly eyes opened instantly, and his deep and mysterious gaze went straight to the heavy sword in Ji Zhan's hand.

At the same time, Lu Xudong, who was watching the battle from a distance, could not help but shout to Sun Daoyi beside him: "Sun Daoyi, what kind of magical power is this? Why is it so powerful?"

However, facing Lu Xudong's questioning, Sun Daoyi seemed a little embarrassed. He slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the reason.

Seeing this, Lu Xudong showed a trace of doubt on his face and questioned: "You don't know? Didn't you fight with Ji Zhan before? Didn't he use such a powerful magical power at that time?"

After hearing this, Sun Daoyi coughed twice and explained, "Ahem, to be honest, when I fought against Ji Zhan before, he did not use this heavy sword."

As soon as these words came out, the field fell into silence. Was it because Sun Daoyi was not qualified? No, it could also be that Ji Zhan was fighting according to his aptitude...

"Is that all you have? Hahahahaha..." Ji Zhan laughed wildly like a madman. That laughter seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, resound through the sky, and echo throughout the entire space, making people's ears buzz and almost deaf.

He was seen holding an extremely heavy sword, his arm muscles tensed, veins bulging, and he swung it violently again. Along with his movements, a sharp sword energy whistled out, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "Heavy swords have no tricks!"

Just as he finished speaking, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. The heavy sword, which was already huge and as big as a mountain, seemed to be injected with endless power. The sword body began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a blink of an eye, it extended to a length of a hundred feet!

This huge sword, a hundred feet long, stretched between heaven and earth, emitting a terrifying aura that made people shudder. The power contained in it was like a surging torrent, constantly overflowing from the sword body. Wherever it passed, the void was slightly distorted because it could not bear this powerful force.

If an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Void Refining Realm were to be here at this moment, facing such a terrifying sword, he would probably lose all courage to resist. If he was not careful, even if he was only slightly affected by this force, he would immediately die and his soul would be shattered.

However, at this critical moment, Cao Rui quietly completed his defense preparations without knowing when. His whole body was covered with mysterious and ancient Xuanwu runes, which flashed a weak but tenacious light, tightly wrapping him. Then, a lifelike Xuanwu real image slowly emerged and completely covered his body.

Seeing the devastating sword light coming towards him, Cao Rui was not afraid. He took a deep breath, then raised the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella high in both hands and faced the sword light.

With the infusion of a large amount of magic power, the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella actually swelled in the wind and instantly turned into a giant umbrella that was ten feet in size.

The various gems and spiritual beads inlaid on the umbrella shined brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the giant sword that was a hundred feet long.

He thought secretly in his heart, wanting to test Ji Zhan's true strength.

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard, and a huge force even more terrifying than before suddenly attacked.

Fortunately, at this moment Cao Rui has successfully activated the Xuanwu rune. Mysterious Xuanwu runes are flashing around his body. These runes continuously enhance his physical strength to the extreme level.

Therefore, facing this surging powerful force, Cao Rui was still able to block it steadily with the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella and his own physical strength.

At first glance, the two sides seem to be evenly matched. However, the actual situation is not so.

You know, the heavy sword used by Ji Zhan was originally famous for its attack power. At this moment, he swung out one sword after another, slashing down at Cao Rui like a storm.

Under such a fierce attack, the Eight Treasures Linglong Umbrella in Cao Rui's hand and his own magic power were under great pressure, and the degree of damage was much more serious than Ji Zhan's.

However, after an arduous resistance, Cao Rui finally seized a fleeting opportunity.

"Spiritual eyes break delusion!"

Immediately afterwards, a beam of energy containing the power of the underworld suddenly shot out from his eyes, and taking advantage of the gap in Ji Zhan's attack, it rushed straight towards the opponent's soul like lightning.

However, just when everyone thought that Ji Zhan's soul would suffer a serious blow, an unexpected scene happened.

I saw the netherworld energy rushing towards me like a ghost, and it was about to hit Ji Zhan's soul hard, but at this critical moment, Ji Zhan's body suddenly flashed with an extremely dazzling snow-white light.

This ray of light was like a meteor across the night sky, short-lived and brilliant. It lasted only for a moment before disappearing as quickly as a flash in the pan.

But in this split second, the Netherworld energy that was originally so powerful and unstoppable seemed to be under a spell. Along with the disappearance of the snow-white light, it also strangely dissipated into nothingness, without even a trace left.

This sudden change made Cao Rui so shocked that he opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

My heart was full of doubts.

Because he clearly felt that the Netherworld energy he had just released had not been lost at all, but at this moment, no matter how he used his powerful spiritual sense to explore it, he could no longer sense its existence.

Previously, someone blocked Cao Rui's spiritual eye from breaking delusion and this spiritual consciousness fusion power, but it also allowed Cao Rui to sense that his own spiritual power had encountered the corresponding energy dissolution process.

I can sense that the other party is also consuming a lot.

It was not surprising that Ji Zhan was able to block him. What surprised him was that the way Ji Zhan blocked this magical power made it impossible to see the limit of consumption.

It felt as if the netherworld energy had suddenly evaporated from this world completely, leaving no trace. It was really too weird and strange.

One can't help but wonder, could it be that this Netherworld energy has already escaped from the constraints of this space and gone to an unknown realm?

Faced with such an incredible situation, even with Cao Rui's high level of cultivation, he was a little lost for a moment.

At this moment, Ji Zhan snorted coldly: "Humph, the so-called divine consciousness and magical powers are nothing more than this."

Before he finished speaking, he raised the heavy sword in his hand high up again, and with unparalleled power, he slashed down towards Cao Rui fiercely.

Seeing that the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella was getting dimmer, Cao Rui had to put away the Eight Treasures Exquisite Umbrella and use the Black Tortoise True Shadow, which consumed more mana, to take over.

The true image of Xuanwu easily withstood the powerful blow from the heavy sword, but Cao Rui's mana was also consumed more.

This is obviously not going to work.

Cao Rui waved his hand, and five magical flying swords gathered together.

Cao Rui was multitasking.

The five magical flying swords instantly merged into one and slashed towards Ji Zhan's real body from the side!

"Haha, so you also practice swordsmanship."

Ji Zhan stretched out his hand and pulled out another sword from behind.

This sword also exudes the aura of a top-grade spiritual treasure. The sword body is transparent and the sword shape is slender!
