Chapter 165: Immortal Artifact

The Huai Wang looked at the battle halberd chopping down, his expression changing slightly, and he hurriedly held the saber handle with both hands, raising the saber to block.

The next second, accompanied by a sound similar to hitting a balloon, his figure was smashed down fiercely.

But immediately after, he broke through the space, borrowed the force to rise back up, and the saber blade slashed toward Qin Jiang.

The two figures disappeared, and countless sounds of metal clashing rang out in the air, coming from all directions.

In just a single breath, the two had already exchanged hundreds of blows! Bang! A muffled sound, and the Huai Wang's figure appeared, falling rapidly toward the bottom.

During the descent, he raised his saber and stabbed horizontally. The saber blade penetrated the space, plowing out a pitch-black crack, and messy scratches also appeared on the blade.

He raised his head to look at Qin Jiang above, and the spatial crack plowed out by the saber blade slowly repaired itself.

He took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh. "Worthy of being two Ninth-Layer Divine Martial arts, the strength is indeed extraordinary."

Both being peak True Gods, Qin Jiang's dealing with him could almost be said to have overwhelming strength.

The previous clash, although it seemed very intense, in reality, he was being suppressed the whole time.

He gently rubbed the cyan jade thumb ring on his hand.

He shook his head slightly. "It was prepared for that person; I didn't expect to have to use it on you first."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang's eyes changed slightly, and an indescribable sense of threat arose in his heart.

Opposite him, as the words fell, a cyan light flew out from the jade thumb ring and entered the Huai Wang's forehead.

The massive might was like the deep sea rolling backward, roaring toward the sky, destroying all obstacles! Beneath him, white clouds surged and then suddenly scattered, completely torn to shreds in an instant, and not a single cloud could be seen within a radius of ten thousand meters.

"Top-tier Immortal Artifact? No wonder he could sneak into Great Xia," Qin Jiang's eyes were slightly cold.

Such a top-tier Immortal Artifact, even the entire Great Xia had only one, left behind by the founding Xia Emperor of the past. However, due to the lack of nourishment from the founding Xia Emperor's immortal power, it was already close to falling out of the top-tier Immortal Artifact level.

As for that Immortal Artifact covering Great Xia, it was the life-bound object of the current Immortal Ancestor, but the Immortal Ancestor's strength had not reached the level of the founding Xia Emperor, so this Immortal Artifact had also never been able to reach the top-tier Immortal Artifact level.

He had never expected that the Huai Wang would actually bring a top-tier Immortal Artifact into Great Xia.

It seemed that in order to investigate the reality of Great Xia's Immortal Ancestor, that person in the Huai Kingdom had also paid a heavy price.

It was estimated that that person himself only had this one top-tier Immortal Artifact.

"Come, try the power of this Immortal Artifact," the Huai Wang laughed lightly, stepped forward, and slashed down with his saber.

Qin Jiang waved his halberd, and at the moment of collision, the halberd body trembled slightly.

Feeling the slight numbness coming from his palm, he couldn't help but be somewhat astonished.

This Immortal Artifact not only greatly increased the Huai Wang's force, but also carried some kind of strange power, seemingly suppressing his own strength!

"Oh? Have you already felt it? Worthy of being you!"

The Huai Wang laughed lightly and slashed again. The saber blade passed through the space, leaving only a tiny spatial crack the thickness of a hair.

With the blessing of the Immortal Artifact, he was already able to stop destroying space, but instead slashed along the spatial gaps, which could minimize resistance to the greatest extent while also greatly increasing the sharpness of the saber blade.

This was called 'Vacuum Cut' in the practice of saber technique, an ultimate realm that usually only True Immortals could master.

And he had already been able to master it at the True God realm, which was the reason why the Immortal Ancestor was willing to entrust this Immortal Artifact to him for use.

Having used the cyan jade ring, in the entire Great Xia, except for that Immortal Ancestor, no one was his opponent!

Even if Xia Huang and Ye Yuanling joined forces to control the Immortal Artifact, it was the same! "What power is this?"

Qin Jiang waved his battle halberd to block this saber, but a notch was still slashed into the blade of the halberd by this saber.

"Immortal Dao Law, above the mortal world, suppressing all things mundane."

The Huai Wang spoke, his battle saber dancing in his hand, forming a saber-blade domain that could not be avoided. Qin Jiang waved his halberd to resist, his whole body's golden light surging. The blade lights slashed on the halberd, leaving traces, but when they slashed on his body, they could only leave white marks.

But even so, Qin Jiang gradually fell into a disadvantage.

A moment later, the Huai Wang was slightly out of breath, with a hint of a bitter smile. "You are truly hard to kill. How about it? Are you really not planning to join the Huai Kingdom? In the future, you will be under one person, how about being on equal footing with me?"

If he could, he would of course choose to kill Qin Jiang.

After all, he didn't like things he couldn't control, whether it was people or things.

But now, it was clearly impossible to kill the other party.

Moreover, it was foreseeable that Qin Jiang would definitely achieve the True Immortal position in a short time! Perhaps thirty years, perhaps fifty years, at most no more than a hundred years.

But he was different. Although he had been immersed in the peak of True God for many years and had even touched the barrier of True Immortal.

But as for the real breakthrough, even though he already had 90% certainty, he still couldn't determine the specific time.

But one thing was certain: it would definitely be over a hundred years. Even the Immortal Ancestor thought so.

Otherwise, after he achieved True Immortal, he could easily take down Great Xia; there was no need to invade Great Xia at this time.

It was just fear that if Great Xia's Immortal Ancestor died during this period, it would attract the covetousness of the Immortal Ancestors of several surrounding countries.

"No need. Besides the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Qi King Hun Tian Halberd, I also have the Eastern Wood Longevity Body, enough to wear you to death here," Qin Jiang laughed.

Although he hadn't expected that the Huai Wang would actually master a top-tier Immortal Artifact, this would not affect the final result.

The Huai Wang raised an eyebrow, just about to say something, when his gaze suddenly looked into the distance. Qin Jiang also looked there.

He saw a golden light spot appear, which was a white-haired old man holding a black short staff, surging with the aura of Immortal Dao Law.

The Huai Wang couldn't help but smile, looking at Qin Jiang. "It seems we cannot delay any longer. Come, try this saber strike, comparable to a full-strength blow from an ordinary True Immortal. Perhaps it won't kill you, but it will be enough to keep you lying down for three to five years."

As long as Qin Jiang couldn't act within the next year, Great Xia would definitely fall!

Cyan light erupted from his whole body, his arms raised high, and a cyan saber shadow emerged.

Feeling that power like heavenly might, Qin Jiang's eyes were excited, like a scorching sun erupting with golden light.

Gripping the Hun Tian Halberd tightly, the power in his body surged madly, dyeing the Hun Tian Halberd gold.

The cyan jade saber blade slashed down, the Hun Tian Halberd resisted ruthlessly, and the golden light and cyan light that erupted intertwined, like the light of creation.

The next moment, the Golden Scale Bracelet in Qin Jiang's arms seemed to be stimulated, appearing autonomously, erupting with golden light and black light, wrapping Qin Jiang's body within.

Instantly, an uncontrollable power erupted from his flesh and blood, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Jiang transformed into the appearance of a dragon-headed human body.

His physical strength soared. He opened his mouth, power gathered in his mouth, and a golden-black beam of light erupted accordingly.

Boom—!!! The addition of the beam of light instantly broke the balance between the two forces, erupting with a massive amount of light and heat, like a sun descending.

A moment later, the surrounding light gradually dimmed. Looking around, there were no clouds for a thousand miles.

The scales on Qin Jiang's body gradually dissipated. Looking around, the Huai Wang's figure had already disappeared.

"Qin Jiang, you are truly a surprising guy. Next time, next time you will die."

The Huai Wang's voice entered his ears. He didn't look for the source; this was a voice branded in the void by the Huai Wang before he left.

Looking toward the direction of the Huai Kingdom, his eyes were cold. If it weren't for that Huai Kingdom Immortal Ancestor, he would really want to kill his way over now and raze the Huai Wang Mansion to the ground! "Fellow Daoist! I have come to help you!"
