Deep in the pagoda, in front of a palace filled with brilliance.
Zhong Zihao looked at the translucent figure that suddenly appeared with a cautious look on his face. The other party said that he could only enter after defeating him. Could it be another test?
In fact, this is not the first time he has encountered this situation. After entering the Netherworld in the Heavenly Vault Holy Realm, didn't he face many tests? He even fought against his own illusions.
Moreover, he still remembered that it was precisely because of that test that he gained a lot, and his combat power increased countless times, far exceeding that of warriors of the same level, and he was able to easily defeat the demon Xiao Tian of the God Clan later.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Zihao slowly pulled out the God-Slaying Sword and prepared to fight with this figure. After all, he had gone through a lot of hard work to get here, and he would not be willing to go in and see what was going on.
"Senior, please!"
Although he knew that the other party was created by some means and was equivalent to a puppet, he still performed the due etiquette.
The translucent man didn't answer, and he didn't even make any actions that he should do before fighting, such as raising his hands, moving, showing off his momentum, etc.
However, he just stood there, as if in a natural defensive state, with no flaws in his body.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Zhong Zihao was not polite and moved his sword first.
"laugh!"
A bright sword light erupted from the God-Slaying Sword, arriving instantly as if traveling through space, and slashed straight down in front of the figure.
But at this moment, the translucent figure slowly stretched out two fingers, covered with golden light, and clamped the sword light extremely lightly.
Immediately, he shook slightly and the sword light disappeared.
Zhong Zihao was horrified. Even if the figure was made of special materials or wore artifact-level gloves, he could accept it. However, the opponent didn't seem to make too many moves and easily pinched the sword light.
destroy.
Even if this move was just for testing and Zhong Zihao was just a casual blow, it would be difficult to accept it.
Because the cultivation level shown by the other party just now was only at the late stage of the Shinto realm, which was equivalent to him in terms of realm.
After returning from the Heavenly Vault Holy Realm, Zhong Zihao thought to himself that no one of the same level of warriors could defeat him, not even the demons, gods, and monsters who were born to fight.
In fact, this is also true. In the Seven Domains, not to mention warriors of the same level, even those with a slightly higher cultivation level than him can still defeat them. This has never happened before.
However, in this short moment, he keenly noticed the difference between the other party and himself. To be precise, it was the translucent figure's application of Tao that was different from his.
What the opponent showed when he extinguished the sword light just now was the Tao of Gold. Of course Zhong Zihao is familiar with it. He has also practiced this Tao in the past.
However, for some reason, he always felt that the other party's Taoism was much stronger than his own.
That feeling should be... grand, perfect, even complete.
Yes, the perfect way!
This is fundamentally different from the incomplete Taoism he practiced.
When he thought of this, Zhong Zihao's heart was beating uncontrollably. It was not fear, but excitement, because he discovered that the translucent figure's technique was countless times better than Xiao Yuan's.
"Keng!"
The long sword moved again, and the sword light like a long dragon rose into the sky. The aura that intimidated the world swept the entire place, and once again attacked the translucent figure.
This time, apart from not using his ultimate move, Zhong Zihao had no reservations. He was interested in seeing how the opponent would respond.
"Wow!"
The figure rubbed his hands together, and a drop of water appeared in his palm. He immediately sent it forward, and the water dropped in response to the storm, turning into a vast river between them, annihilating the mighty sword light.
"Huh?" Zhong Zihao was moved again.
This is the way of water, the same as the way of water that Murong Wan has understood, but the opponent in front of him obviously understands it more thoroughly, and his power is incredible.
With a simple move, he fully demonstrated the properties of water, including its ability to contain everything and its softness to overcome hardness.
"Come again!"
Zhong Zihao raised his brows, which aroused endless fighting spirit. The true energy in his body exploded without reservation, and he immediately fought with the opponent.
However, no matter how you describe it, this battle feels weird.
That is, there is only one person attacking, using all his strength to perform various sword moves, while the other shadow seems to be just doing it casually, forcing the former to be at a disadvantage.
The tea time passed, and the translucent figure seemed a little impatient and launched its first attack.
"call out!"
A ray of green light flew out from his palm, and instantly turned into a thick vine, extending out endless branches, like a huge net covering the sky.
"The Way of Wood?"
Zhong Zihao's eyes widened. Except for the first time he met Old Man Wuwei, who took action once, he had never seen any warrior who could display the Way of Wood to such an extent.
At this moment, he felt a strong breath of life, as if he was not in a deserted canyon at all, but was bathed in the water of life.
"Sword Art of Life and Death!"
In desperation, the killing move of the God-Slaying Sword bloomed.
Two rays of light of different colors converged, causing the void within a radius of dozens of feet to twist violently, and cracks in the space flashed from time to time.
The Tai Chi yin and yang pattern erupted with a shocking force, blasting a large hole into the giant network of vines. He took the opportunity to escape from the attack and escaped the blow.
After fighting for a few more moves, Zhong Zihao was already injured all over his body. He stopped to catch his breath and adjusted his breathing. The translucent figure did not take the initiative to attack, as if he was waiting.
After a while, Zhong Zihao fought again.
Needless to say, it definitely ended in defeat.
Day after day, for the past twenty days, he was defeated by the translucent figure every time.
Of course, he was not completely without gains. From the very beginning, he failed in several moves, but now he has been able to withstand more than ten moves. The whole process was also a kind of experience for him, and his combat power increased rapidly.
A month later, Zhong Zihao found helplessly that his combat power had reached a bottleneck. If he could not comprehend the complete Tao, it would be impossible for him to defeat the translucent figure.
So this time, he adjusted his breath and didn't get up for two days, but he was actually thinking about a way to solve it.
If he could not defeat the figure in front of him, he would not be able to enter this mysterious palace. This was something he was unwilling to accept no matter what.
Suddenly, Zhong Zihao opened his eyes, threw out two seals with both hands, and a strange formation formed by condensing black and white colors stretched out.
At the same time, a giant pillar tore through the space and fell from the sky. A force that destroyed the world suddenly descended and hit the translucent figure standing over there on the head.
The figure's reaction was not slow, and he had already started to take action the moment the Hidden Dragon Monument appeared. His two arms kept pointing out, and the overwhelming earth elements gathered together to form a huge defensive wall with a terrifying aura in front of him.
At this time, Zhong Zihao's sword disappeared from his hand, and a long black sword exuding endless demonic energy jumped into his hands and slashed slightly at the translucent figure.
"Crack!"
The space suddenly split into two halves, and just as the figure stopped the Qianlong Monument, a silent sword light appeared in front of him.
He immediately stopped his hand and retreated, but he was still a step too slow, and one of his fingers was cut off by the "God-Zlaying" sword move.
Immediately, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, the aura on his body bloomed again, and the finger grew again.
Zhong Zihao felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and was about to continue the deadly battle with the two pinnacle artifacts, when he saw a figure clasping fists at him slightly, and then disappeared without a trace.
"call!"
Only at this moment did Zhong Zihao let out a long breath.
With the many killing moves, the Hidden Dragon Monument and the Black Flame Demon Sword, he could only win half of them with a sneak attack. If the translucent figure continued to pester him, his only choice was to give up.
After making some adjustments and putting away the two artifacts, Zhong Zihao arrived in front of the palace as he wished.
However, when he just stepped into the palace gate and saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly became dull!
