It's not that he is timid, but that he is self-aware and knows that there is no way that he can be the opponent of a powerful man like Emperor Meng Tian.
As for escaping, Xiao Zhi was still very confident.
He now controls tens of thousands of miles of space around him, and can teleport to any point within tens of thousands of miles with just a thought.
The figure behind him was more than 9,000 miles away from him.
At this distance, even if the opponent is the strongest, he still has enough time to escape.
Just as Xiao Zhi was thinking about this, the figure that looked like Emperor Mengtian approached him from behind!
This made Xiao Zhi's heart lift again.
8,000 miles... 7,000 miles... 6,000 miles...
As the distance got closer, Xiao Zhi's perception of this figure became clearer through the surrounding space.
'Emperor Mengtian! This is indeed Emperor Mengtian!'
‘What does Emperor Meng Tian want to do? Does he really want to come over and kill me!?’
As Emperor Meng Tian got closer and closer to him, Xiao Zhi's heart was already in his throat.
And he still pretended to know nothing about it.
‘1,000 miles! My endurance limit is 1,000 miles. If he dares to come closer than 1,000 miles away from me, then I will have no choice but to run away.’ Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth in his heart.
Time is passing by second by second.
Finally, the figure of Emperor Mengtian stopped about 1,200 miles away from Xiao Zhi.
The figure of Emperor Mengtian was floating near and far away. After more than a minute passed, the figure of Emperor Mengtian began to retreat faster and faster until it completely disappeared from Xiao Zhi's induction.
It was only then that Xiao Zhi's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
He suddenly felt a little tired.
He seemed to have done nothing just now, but the energy he spent during this period of time was much more than performing a joint guard mission.
‘Brother Li, did you see anything just now?’ Xiao Zhi asked Li Kuo with his spiritual mind.
Xiao Zhi was sitting at the bow of the floating flying boat, while Li Kuo was sitting at the stern. When Emperor Meng Tian approached just now, Emperor Meng Tian and Li Kuo were facing each other.
Xiao Zhi therefore asked this question.
Li Kuo was practicing and comprehending his laws of ice and snow. After receiving Xiao Zhi's spiritual message, his expression was slightly startled, and he replied with his spiritual message: "No, I didn't see anything.
"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just asked casually." Xiao Zhi replied using his spiritual voice.
Li Kuo nodded when he heard this and said no more.
He knew that what Xiao Zhi just asked couldn't be a casual question, but since Xiao Zhi didn't want to say it, he wouldn't pursue it.
Xiao Zhi sat silently on the floating boat.
'What is the purpose of Emperor Meng Tian's appearance this time? Is he here to test me? Or does he want to observe my strength up close?' Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Xiao Zhi has always been wary of Emperor Mengtian.
He always felt that Emperor Meng Tian was not a good person.
'Don't talk about me. Emperor Kong Tian should also be on guard against Emperor Meng Tian. This is because when he gave me [Tianji Holy Body] before, he asked me not to tell Meng about practicing [Tianji Holy Body].
The Emperor of Heaven can see it...'
Xiao Zhi suddenly shook his head gently.
'It's useless to think about all this nonsense now. I'd better continue to practice. If practicing [Tianji Holy Body] can really make me become the supreme god in this heaven, then even if I can't defeat the Mengtian Emperor, I don't need to be afraid.
This is a blessing to the Emperor of Heaven.'
Xiao Zhi quickly adjusted his mentality, calmed down, and continued to practice his [Tianji Holy Body].
Several months passed in a flash.
In the following months, Emperor Meng Tian did not appear again, but Xiao Zhi did meet an 'old friend' again.
He met Emperor Si Yu in this heaven.
Emperor Si Yu is also practicing the Holy Body.
However, what Emperor Si Yu only cultivated was [Tianyuan Holy Body], which was completely incomparable with the [Tianji Holy Body] he was practicing now.
After sensing the presence of Emperor Si Yu through his control of the surrounding space, the first thought that emerged in Xiao Zhi's heart was: 'Should I take this opportunity to kill this Emperor Si Yu?'
He and Emperor Siyu had some grudges and grudges.
And with his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Emperor Si Yu.
If he uses sneak attacks or other methods to kill Emperor Siyu, his success rate will be even higher.
But in the end, Xiao Zhi did not take action against Emperor Si Yu.
It's not that his mind has become broader than before, and he is no longer willing to argue with Emperor Si Yu about the things that happened in the past.
It's that the great realm he belongs to now needs the god-level combat power of Emperor Si Yu.
The existence of Emperor Si Yu was more or less useful to the great realm where he was located. It would be a pity to kill him like this.
Therefore, Xiao Zhi temporarily let go of Emperor Si Yu and asked his clone responsible for piloting the floating airship to change its course and stay away from the area where Emperor Si Yu was.
The practice was still going on. On this day, while Xiao Zhi was practicing, he suddenly felt something in his heart and sensed that someone was trying to contact him through his Kunyu token.
The person who is contacting him is Yang Xi.
The words belonging to Yang Xi soon appeared in Xiao Zhi's mind: "Brother, the second brother's spirit has been perfected."
'Has Yang Xu's soul reached perfection?'
‘Calculating the time, it’s indeed time to reach consummation.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
He typed and responded with his spiritual mind: 'Yes, I understand. Is Yang Xu planning to kill the soul now?'
Yang Xi: ‘I’ll go ask.’
A few seconds later, the words belonging to Yang Xi appeared in Xiao Zhi's mind again: 'Well, I have already asked the second brother. The second brother wants to kill the soul now.'
Xiao Zhi: 'Okay, you guys wait in my Dachang Palace in the imperial city. I'll be back soon.'
Yang Xi: 'Well, okay, I will take my second brother to Dachang Hall.'
After finishing the call with Yang Xi, Xiao Zhi sat on the floating boat for a while, and used his spiritual mind to send a message to Li Kuo: "Brother Li, let's go back to the world of living beings."
"Okay, Master." Li Kuo responded.
Soon, spatial ripples visible to the naked eye appeared on both Xiao Zhi and Li Kuo's bodies.
The next moment, the entire floating airship in the air turned into bubbles and dissipated in the air.
In the world of living beings, Dachang Imperial City, in the hall belonging to Xiao Zhi, the space fluctuated like water, and Xiao Zhi's figure appeared here out of thin air.
"Emperor!"
"Great Emperor!" The staff stationed in the palace stood up one after another and shouted.
"Brother." Yang Xi also stood up from the futon and shouted.
Yang Xu, who was sitting next to him, also stood up.
Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded at the staff stationed in the hall, and then walked towards the brother and sister Yang Xuyangxi.
"Let's go." Xiao Zhi said, and then walked out of the hall.
"Yes." Yang Xu and Yang Xi both nodded, followed Xiao Zhi, and walked out of the hall.
Not long after, a black cloud was floating over a mountain forest hundreds of miles away from Dachang Imperial City.
Above the black clouds, Xiao Zhi and Yang Xi stood side by side, while Yang Xu sat on the black clouds, looking like he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Yang Xu is adjusting his mentality, stabilizing his emotions, and making final preparations for Soul Killing.
Xiao Zhi said calmly: "Xiao Xu, don't be nervous, just stay calm."
Yang Xi also said: "Second brother, it's just to kill the soul, it's nothing. The eldest brother will take you to kill the soul in the chaotic space. The success rate is very high, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Hearing this, Yang Xu said in a muffled voice: "I'm not worried, I just feel a little uneasy."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Hun Zhan pays great attention to the mentality. Xiaoxu, there is something wrong with your current mentality. It is not suitable for Soul Zhan. You should rest first. Soul Zhan is not in a hurry.
At this time, after your mentality is completely stable, how about we kill the soul again?"
Yang Xi also looked at her brother Yang Xu with some worry.
Yang Xu shook his head slightly and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay. There should be nothing wrong with my mentality. I'll adjust it and I'll be fine soon."
Yang Xi looked at Xiao Zhi, waiting for Xiao Zhi to make up his mind.
Xiao Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "You should all know that Hu Yang is good at divination, and his divination is very effective. Let's do this. I'll ask Hu Yang to come over and give Xiaoxu a divination. If it's a good omen, we'll kill him now.
"Hun, if it's a bad omen, then take it slow, Xiaoxu, what do you think?"
Before Yang Xu could speak, Yang Xi spoke first and said, "Second brother, I think this suggestion from the eldest brother is very good. You can ask Hu Yang to come over and give you a divination."
Yang Xu glanced at Yang Xi, then at Xiao Zhi, and finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Zhidang contacted Hu Yang through his Kunyu token.
The place where Hu Yang practiced was not far away from here. Just a few minutes later, Hu Yang turned into a stream of light and flew over.
"Brother Zhi." Hu Yang called to Xiao Zhi from a long distance away.
After that, he said hello to Yang Xu and Yang Xi.
Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "Come here quickly and give Yang Xu a test to see if his luck is good today and whether he is suitable for soul-killing."
"No problem, I will give him a divination now. However, it is best to do this divination on the ground. It is grounded. This way the divination can be more accurate." Hu Yang said.
"Is there still such a thing? Well, let's go to the ground." Xiao Zhi said, and then unfolded his Water God Realm.
Then he saw a flash of black light like water, and he had already appeared in the open space next to a small river with Yang Xuyangxi.
The divination soon began.
Not long after, Hu Yang had condensed the golden tortoise shell used for divination, then pointed one finger at the tortoise shell and the other at Yang Xu, and began to mutter something.
At this moment, everyone, including Yang Xu, the person involved, was holding their breath and looking at the golden tortoise shell on the ground.
Time passed by second by second.
Under the gaze of everyone, a faint golden light began to emit from the tortoise shell.
This light is a little dim, but it is shining after all.
Hu Yang exhaled and said: "This is a small good omen, it's okay."
Yang Xu looked at Xiao Zhi and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, look, it's a good sign."
Xiao Zhi stared at the shimmering tortoise shell on the ground, nodded, and said: "Okay, since you are going to kill the soul today, you can take a rest and start later."
"Well, okay." Yang Xu nodded after hearing this.
Yang Xu sat down cross-legged again and began to close his eyes and rest.
After Hu Yang finished divination for Yang Xu, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on a big rock not far away and sent a message to Yang Xi: "Yang Xi, your brother is about to behead his soul. Why?"
Don’t you see Venerable Kui coming?”
Master Kui is Master Yangxu.
In the world of living beings, the atmosphere of respecting teachers and teachings is very strong. Once a teacher, he is always a father. For Yang Xu, Venerable Kui's status is almost the same as that of his biological father.
Yangxi sent a message and replied: "Venerable Kui is on his way here now."
"That's it." Hu Yang nodded and said no more.
Xiao Zhi sent a message to Hu Yang: "Hu Yang, why don't you go back to practice?"
Hu Yang sent a message and replied: "I have been practicing continuously for a long time. I am exhausted. It is rare that I come out for a breath of air this time. Brother Zhi, please don't rush me."
"Okay." Xiao Zhi nodded and stopped urging.
Cultivation is indeed very hard, and he fully understands this.
Next, Yang Xu closed his eyes and rested, while Xiao Zhi, Yang Xi, and Hu Yang gathered together, creating a small area of restriction and chatting freely within the restriction.
After a while, Yang Xu, who was sitting cross-legged and with eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and then slowly stood up.
At this moment, with a quick glance, the eyes of Xiao Zhi and the other three people all fell on Yang Xu.
Xiao Zhi walked out of the restraint and said, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah." Yang Xu nodded.
"Now that you're ready, let's go." Xiao Zhi said.
"Okay." Yang Xu nodded again.
Xiao Zhi immediately released his divine power, pulling Yang Xu together and flying into the sky.
"Brother, why don't I go with you and protect the second brother?" Yang Xi shouted at this time.
Before Xiao Zhi could speak, Hu Yang took the lead and said: "It's best not to do things like beheading souls. The fewer people who go, the better. You and Yang Xu are close relatives. If you go, you won't be able to help him.
It will also affect his soul-killing."
"Okay." Yang Xi could only give up after hearing this.
Soon, Xiao Zhi reached out and tore out a dark crack in the air, and then took Yang Xu with him through the dark crack and entered the chaotic space.
About half an hour later, a cloud of dark wind howled from the distant sky.
This dark wind soon condensed into a figure in mid-air, it was none other than Venerable Kui.
"I have met True Lord Chongyang."
"I have seen True Monarch Fuxi." Venerable Kui brought a gust of wind and landed on the ground. He first bowed respectfully to Hu Yang, and then bowed respectfully to Yang Xi.
