Chapter 264: Team Up to Kill Tiancan?

Jiang Feng and the Tiancan Daoist's figures darted rapidly across the center of the plaza.

True Qi surged, and each collision erupted in a deafening, thunderous blast.

The two exchanged blows, fighting in a tangled, inseparable melee.

"Bang!"

Another hard clash forced both to step back five paces each.

Jiang Feng's complexion turned slightly pallid, his internal true Qi rippled faintly; the Tiancan Daoist's strength was indeed formidable, and after a prolonged fight, he too was feeling the strain.

The Tiancan Daoist was no better; a strand of blood clung to the corner of his mouth, clearly bruised by Jiang Feng's palm strike.

He stared at Jiang Feng, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Jiang Feng's power to have refined to this level; even when he gave his all, he still couldn't subdue him?

If they kept fighting like this, even if they managed to win in the end, both would be badly wounded, and others would simply reap the advantage.

The Tiancan Daoist's eyes flicked, and he suddenly halted his strike, creating distance from Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, Old brother has a proposal—how about we do it this way?"

The Tiancan Daoist looked at Jiang Feng, a trace of temptation in his gaze.

"With the combined strength of the two of us, we first slay all the remaining people here; when only the two of us remain, we settle the victory and claim the Wu Zun Inheritance."

As soon as those words were spoken, the combatants in the plaza froze, turning their heads toward the two, their faces filled with shock.

No one present was foolish; the power displayed by Jiang Feng and the Tiancan Daoist was undeniably the strongest in the arena.

If the two teamed up, even the combined strength of everyone present could only be slaughtered unilaterally!

"It's over—if they really join forces, we'll all die!"

"The lure of the Wu Zun Inheritance is too great; Jiang Feng probably won't refuse, right?"

Despair filled everyone's faces.

They all believed Jiang Feng would never reject such a proposal, for in the chance to achieve the Heavenly Human Realm, any grudges seemed insignificant.

The Tiancan Daoist watched the terrified expressions, a smug smile appearing on his face.

He was certain Jiang Feng would agree; after all, no one could resist the lure of the Wu Zun Inheritance.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng also showed a hint of contemplation, smiling faintly.

"That sounds like a decent proposal," he said.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank instantly to the Valley Bottom.

The Tiancan Daoist's delighted expression deepened.

"He who knows the times is a hero! Jiang Feng, you are a clever person."

In his view, there are no eternal opponents, only eternal interests.

Just as the Tiancan Daoist was about to seize Jiang Feng for a strike, Jiang Feng suddenly burst into a loud laugh, looking at the Tiancan Daoist with a mocking grin.

"But compared with the others here, you old thing disgust me more. So I still prefer to kill you first!"

Before the words finished, Jiang Feng's internal true Qi surged again, a fierce aura sweeping outward.

His figure flickered, like an arrow released from a bow, charging at the Tiancan Daoist; his palm wind carried world‑shattering force, aiming straight at the Taoist's chest.

"How dare you play me!"

The Tiancan Daoist instantly erupted in fury, his face turning monstrously fierce.

"Shameless! Since you're courting death, let Old brother transcend you!"

He roared, his internal true Qi bursting forth without reservation.

But at that moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly slashed in from a diagonal thrust, aiming straight at the Tiancan Daoist's rear heart.

"Not good!"

The Tiancan Daoist's complexion changed dramatically, sensing the deadly threat from behind,

he couldn't spare a moment to block Jiang Feng's attack and hurriedly sidestepped.

"Swoosh!"

The sword light grazed his shoulder, tearing a long slit in his Daoist Robe.

The Tiancan Daoist retreated in a disheveled scramble, his spirit still rattled as he looked toward the source of the sword light.

"Who dares to ambush Old brother!"

Liu Tianzhou appeared, brandishing a long sword, his face playfully mocking the Tiancan Daoist.

"Old dog, didn't see that coming, huh?"

Liu Tianzhou weighed his long sword, a wicked grin on his lips as he spoke.

"Your shell's still pretty hard; it didn't even hurt you. Junior Brother, this old thing's strength isn't weak—shall we both go for it?"

Jiang Feng gave a faint smile.

"Alright, Senior Brother Liu, we'll kill this old dog together."

"Fine, then catch the sword!"

Liu Tianzhou suddenly hurled his long sword, embedding it precisely into the ground before Jiang Feng.

"Let Senior Brother see whether your swordsmanship has regressed over the years!"

Jiang Feng bent down and pulled the long sword out.

Jiang Feng gripped the long sword tightly, infusing it with true Qi; the blade instantly burst into dazzling light.

Immediately after, Jiang Feng and Liu Tianzhou exchanged a glance, both moving at once, like twin bolts of lightning, charging at the Tiancan Daoist.

The Tiancan Daoist watched the two attackers coming from front and back, left and right, his face turning exceedingly grim.

He had originally thought he was only dealing with Jiang Feng, but suddenly a Liu Tianzhou emerged; judging by their demeanor, they were clearly old acquaintances, now joining forces against him.

He had also heard of Liu Tianzhou's prowess—he was a Core Disciple of the Lingnan Sword Sect, his strength reaching Grandmaster Ninth Rank, his swordsmanship exquisitely supreme.

With Jiang Feng, this Grand Master of the ninth grade, joining forces, even if he is in the Half-step Celestial Realm, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.

"Do you think that the two of you working together can deal with Old brother? That's sheer wishful thinking!"

The Tian Can Daoist let out a roar, his internal true Qi surged again, the pressure of the Half-step Celestial Realm spread outward, attempting to intimidate the two.

But Jiang Feng and Liu Tianzhou were completely unaffected; Jiang Feng wielded a long sword, his sword technique was fierce and powerful, each strike aimed at the Tian Can Daoist's vital points, blending the essence of Kunlun Sword Technique with his own palm art, balancing hardness and softness.

Liu Tianzhou's sword technique was graceful and agile, like an antelope's antlers leaving no trace, his sword Qi crisscrossed, making the Tian Can Daoist unable to defend.

The two alternated attack and defense, one restraining while the other pressed the main attack, cooperating with unparalleled tacit understanding.

The palm wind and sword Qi intertwined into a dense net, enveloping the Tian Can Daoist tightly.

The Tian Can Daoist's expression grew extremely grim, his hands kept swinging, the palm wind whistled, he exerted all his strength to fend off the two's attacks.

Although his palm force was mighty and domineering, faced with two completely different yet equally exquisite sword arts, he gradually became unable to cope, and several wounds of varying depth were quickly carved onto his body by the sword Qi.

"Bang bang bang!"

The tremendous clamor of swords and palms colliding kept echoing, the Tian Can Daoist retreated repeatedly, looking increasingly disheveled.

When had they ever endured such humiliation?

As a master of the Half-step Celestial Realm, to be suppressed by two juniors of Grand Master level working together, and even beaten back repeatedly!

An unprecedented surge of shameful anger rose in their heart.

The Tian Can Daoist suddenly lifted his head, staring at the charging Jiang Feng and Liu Tianzhou, a flash of frantic malice flickered in his eyes, and the pent‑up anger in his chest erupted instantly.

"You brat, how dare you deceive me! Fine, since it is so, Old brother will see how you kill me!"

As the words finished, the Tian Can Daoist's entire body suddenly expanded violently.

Then, he grabbed Qin Kuo Nan, who was watching the spectacle nearby, and directly crushed the other's neck.

A surge of pure true Qi poured directly into his body.

"I originally intended to wait until the final breakthrough of the Heavenly Human Realm to use this move, but since you force me, don't blame me!"

"Burning Heaven Extinguish Earth! Rise!"
