Chapter 98: I Will Just Help Them Deliver the Finishing Blow

"Gong Gong Zhonghou, don't use the Spirit Blade Gate to scare me! Do you think I don't know the rules of immortal cultivation sects entering the world? Ding Chushan has no background in the immortal cultivation sect, and he is just a low-grade immortal cultivator who doesn't even have a magic treasure.

Since he entered the world and participated in secular contention, it is naturally a matter of life and death! I killed him; apart from you, who else would care?

As for you, I only regret not killing you a day earlier, so that you killed my grandson! Now you are actually daydreaming about maintaining the original situation! It is truly a huge joke!" Xu Xu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, his face ferocious.

"You said Xu Xu Shixiong? We didn't kill him at all!" Ding Ding Bangcheng's expression was ugly.

"It is already this time, and you are still quibbling! Originally, I was thinking that with Xu Shixiong's strength, even if four or five of you ambushed him, he might not have had no hope of escaping!

Now I know that your Ding Clan actually produced an immortal cultivator, so it is no wonder Xu Shixiong couldn't escape!" Xu Xu Zhiyuan said, while continuing to charge and kill, his eyes looking fiercely at Ding Chushan behind the two.

Ding Chushan originally saw Gong Gong Zhonghou bring out the reputation of the Spirit Blade Gate to scare Xu Xu Zhiyuan, and also had the intention of negotiating with him, thinking that there might be room for maneuver.

As a result, he didn't expect that Xu Xu Zhiyuan knew some rules of the immortal cultivation world and was not threatened at all, and even put a big hat on him for killing his grandson. Looking at him with such fierce eyes, it was clearly a desire to kill him quickly!

In an instant, as a dignified immortal cultivator, Ding Chushan was so scared that his heart trembled, and he actually turned and ran wildly toward the city gate.

"Where are you fleeing!" Seeing this, Xu Xu Zhiyuan roared, his sharp sword dancing wildly, and in an instant, the sky was covered with sword light, forcing Ding Ding Bangcheng and Gong Gong Zhonghou to retreat repeatedly.

"Grandmaster is truly amazing!" In the distance, Master Yuchi Xiao, hiding in a restaurant, looked at Xu Xu Zhiyuan sweeping through an elite cavalry troop alone and killing several eighth-rank Great Martial Masters, and now still being so fierce, couldn't help but reveal a look of awe and yearning.

Besides the Hidden Dragon Martial Hall people, there were also Ji Clan elites in the restaurant.

"Grandmaster truly has some substance!" Xia Daoming touched the two short spears on his back, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fighting spirit.

Between a Grandmaster and an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, there is a relatively large leap.

Just looking at the strength, speed, and the means of killing people from the air that Xu Xu Zhiyuan showed just now, when he had just been promoted to an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, Xia Daoming couldn't say who would win and who would lose in a battle with him. 【98

But now, his meridians had been strengthened to the eighth level; his speed and force were not something Xu Xu Zhiyuan could compare to, and he had the Profound Dragon Spear and the Black Cloud Shield in his hands.

As long as he could block and dodge Xu Xu Zhiyuan's long-range killing techniques, once he got close, Xia Daoming was confident that even if Xu Xu Zhiyuan had his internal force transformed into armor for protection, he could beat him to a pulp!

"But we greatly overestimated the immortal cultivator; that Ding Chushan was simply unable to withstand a single blow. I originally thought that with Ding Chushan in the Three-Family Alliance, even if they couldn't kill the Xu Xu Zhiyuan who had returned to his peak, they would at least both be severely injured or half-dead.

As it turns out, it seems Xu Xu Zhiyuan didn't suffer much injury; he only expended a huge amount of energy, and a large part of that was caused by that cavalry unit," Zhuo Zhuo Xingji said.

"It's not that we overestimated the immortal cultivator, nor is it that Ding Chushan was unable to withstand a single blow. It's that Ding Chushan's current realm is low, and he doesn't even have a single magic treasure on hand, while his opponent is a Martial Arts Grandmaster who has returned to his peak, which is why Ding Chushan appeared so weak.

But if you look at it from another angle, if the vines he suddenly unleashed just now had trapped someone other than Xu Xu Zhiyuan—say, someone below the Grandmaster level—let alone sixth or seventh-rank Great Martial Masters, even I, this old man, would likely have been unable to escape death.

And how old is Ding Chushan? At his age, what kind of combat power did we have?" Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen, who was standing to the side, said with a grave expression.

Reminded by Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen, Zhuo Zhuo Xingji and the others all gasped.

That's right, at Ding Chushan's age, what kind of strength did they have?

"The old master is right; it's not that Ding Chushan was weak, but that his opponent was too strong. It's not that we overestimated immortal cultivators, but that Ding Chushan is likely just a bottom-tier immortal cultivator in the world of cultivation.

If the one who attacked today wasn't Ding Chushan, but an immortal cultivator with a slightly higher realm and a magic treasure in hand, Xu Xu Zhiyuan would likely have been unable to escape! Yet, among us martial artists, Xu Xu Zhiyuan is already a Grandmaster-level existence.

Therefore, there is a distinction between immortals and mortals; immortal cultivators are definitely on a higher level than us. However, judging from the exchange between Ding Chushan and Xu Xu Zhiyuan, low-tier immortal cultivators are not that terrifying, and we don't need to be overly fearful or lose our nerve.

As long as we are vigilant against his methods in advance, or strike first, or have someone hold him back while another person gets close to launch a surprise attack, I estimate that immortal cultivators like Ding Chushan would have no way out but death," Xia Daoming calmly added in his analysis.

"Daoming is absolutely right, but Xu Xu Zhiyuan's strength is even more formidable than imagined, and the Three-Family Alliance and Ding Chushan's performance fell short of expectations, failing to truly severely injure Xu Xu Zhiyuan.

It seems it will be very difficult for us to take this opportunity to pull them up by the roots and replace them; we can only reap some small profits," Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen said with some disappointment.

"Since the Three-Family Alliance and Ding Chushan failed to truly severely injure Xu Xu Zhiyuan, I will just provide the finishing blow for them!" Xia Daoming said dismissively.

Previously, he was quite wary of immortal cultivators and Grandmasters because his eighth-rank meridians had only just begun to strengthen, and he had never seen the methods of immortal cultivators and Grandmasters.

Now, it was different.

During this period, by eating Phoenix Cry Pills and Golden Scale Blood-Eyed Snake meat every day, not to mention spirit rice, Xia Daoming's meridians had been strengthened to the eighth level; he was no longer the person he used to be.

Having witnessed the methods of immortal cultivators and Grandmasters with his own eyes today, he felt even more confident.

"Xu Xu Zhiyuan is too powerful; wouldn't that be too risky?" Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, old master. Isn't he just a ninth-rank Martial Arts Grandmaster? Never mind that Xu Xu Zhiyuan has already expended a huge amount of energy and suffered some injuries; even if he were completely unscathed, Daoming could still kill him!" Liang Liang Jingtang said calmly and flatly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

Xia Daoming, Master Yuchi Xiao, and the other two all cast very subtle glances at Liang Liang Jingtang.

"What? Daoming can kill a Xu Xu Zhiyuan who has returned to his peak?" Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen's beard trembled upon hearing this.

"That's right. A few days ago, that brat Xu Xu Shixiong came with a sword to assassinate Daoming, and he ended up being killed by Daoming with a single punch. No matter how formidable Xu Xu Zhiyuan is, he doesn't have the ability to kill an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi with one punch!" Liang Liang Jingtang continued to speak with a light and breezy expression.

Xia Daoming and the other three glanced at Liang Liang Jingtang again.

Master has changed; he didn't use to put on airs, but now he's doing it too.

Or perhaps this is his true nature, and he just didn't have the conditions before!

"He's actually become this powerful! This powerful! Good, good!" Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen was so excited that the wrinkles on his face bloomed like an old chrysanthemum.

"Hey, that brat is an immortal cultivator after all, yet he abandoned his family and turned to run away! And he's even coming toward our side!" Just at this moment, Master Yuchi Xiao pointed at Ding Chushan, who was sprinting toward them outside the window, looking surprised and disdainful.

"Isn't that perfect? I was just wanting to catch someone alive to properly understand the situation in the world of cultivation!" Xia Daoming laughed.

"Hehe, why would you need to go out yourself for such a thing, Junior Brother? We'll just take action and catch that brat for you!" Jiao Jiao Yongbao immediately leaned in, smiling from ear to ear.
