Chapter 505

The Shaman tribe retreated, not because they were at a disadvantage on the battlefield, but because their army's morale had appeared to be severely shaken, causing the sacrificial power that suppressed morale to be exhausted ahead of schedule.

Wei Yuan's Sun Bomb was ultimately not used, but it had already made it clear to Hongye and the group of Ghost Shamans on the opposite side.

On the main peak, Su Xuejing stood with his hands behind his back. He was already in a state of unity with heaven and earth and could strike with a sword at any time, but he never had this opportunity.

He looked up at Wei Yuan, who was bathed in the morning sun, and praised, "Such a hero can be mentioned in the same breath as me."

Zhang Sheng stood beside him and said coldly, "After a night of great battle, you didn't strike a single sword. What can you be mentioned in the same breath with me for? Can you be mentioned in the same breath for being able to endure?"

Su Xuejing maintained his indifference of being one with heaven and earth and said, "What do you know? I nurture my sword between heaven and earth. If I strike, what I kill must be a strong enemy standing at the peak of Kunlun. At that time, one sword strike will be earth-shattering and shine upon the universe. The sword and the heart are one; it's not a pig-slaughtering knife, how can it cut any filth?"

Zhang Sheng sneered, "You haven't struck a single sword; what's the difference between having this sword and not having it? No matter how well you nurture it, isn't it just you bragging? If my four swords were still here, I would have let you know what a killing sword is, and would I allow you to point fingers here? No matter how much you say, I'm afraid you still don't dare to strike. If you can't beat them, that would be terrible."

Su Xuejing was furious and said, "You say I haven't struck a single sword, where are your four swords?!"

Beside them, Shangguan Qianmo coughed. Su Xuejing suddenly realized that saying this was equivalent to exposing someone's scars, which was very shameful. But ever since discussing the Dao with Zhang Sheng, Su Xuejing had often been unable to suppress the evil fire in his heart.

This Zhang Sheng clearly understood the sword Dao and was a genius who appeared once in a generation, but she was particularly good at quibbling and nitpicking. When Su Xuejing discussed the Dao with her, if he said one extra word, she would seize it, and they would often argue for nearly half an hour.

Hearing Zhang Sheng speak a little too much, Su Xuejing always had the urge to draw his sword.

Sure enough, nothing in heaven and earth was perfect. Zhang Sheng, such a strange woman, with top-notch talent, intelligence, insight, and appearance in the world, just happened to have an extra mouth.

Su Xuejing looked at Wei Yuan again and felt that Wei Yuan was born well, had strong strength, was full of talent, and most importantly, he spoke exceptionally well. How could there be such a big gap between these fellow disciples?

Wei Yuan was still standing in the air, bathed in the morning light, like a true immortal descending to the world.

Now that the Shaman army had retreated, the human race's morale was high, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering, slaughtering them all the way. Wei Yuan really wanted to rush to the front line to pursue and kill them himself, but in doing so, he would become a barbarian, and the glorious image and invincible posture that he had worked so hard to establish would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Wei Yuan couldn't take action, but he secretly sent out the Dragon Guards and all the warriors with awakened wisdom, leading the crowd to pursue and kill, while firing more than a hundred missiles in one breath.

When the Shaman tribe fled, there were no Great Shamans with the leisure to intercept, so many missiles landed solidly, taking away tens of thousands of lives.

This pursuit only went ten miles outside the realm. The Shaman tribe also had brilliant Shamans who directly used blood curses to cover their retreat. Since the blood curses didn't land on the Azure Void, Wei Yuan had no cause and effect and could not counterattack, so he had to give up.

Seeing the human race win again, Su Xuejing was also very happy and said casually to Shangguan Qianmo, "You played a few games of chess with Wei Yuan just now; who won?"

Shangguan Qianmo's face turned dark, but Su Xuejing didn't notice.

She said indifferently, "There was no time, just tried a few games of chess, and none of the games exceeded a hundred moves."

"Oh, how is his chess skill and style?"

"Always original and quite creative."

Su Xuejing immediately became interested and said, "I recently obtained a chess manual called 'Ten Games of Graffiti,' but unfortunately I only have the fourth and fifth games. I have gained a lot of insights after studying them, and it just so happens I can try my hand with Wei Yuan. If I can teach him, I might have an opponent in the future."

Shangguan Qianmo's eyes were deep: "Uncle-Master, are you abandoning me?"

Su Xuejing felt guilty and said, "Your chess skill can't keep up with mine, and playing with you is no longer helpful. Now is the critical period for my advancement, and every bit of enlightenment is precious; I really can't be distracted."

Shangguan Qianmo sighed faintly: "Understood, I am no longer helpful to Uncle-Master's Dao heart, so I naturally cannot waste Uncle-Master's time anymore."

Su Xuejing had a splitting headache, not understanding why this niece suddenly became so sarcastic today.

At this time, Wei Yuan finally extinguished the light on his body, landed, and began to deal with the aftermath.

This battle was fought from midnight until dawn. Although the time was not long, it was fought extremely tragically, and the Dharma Form cultivators on the Azure Void side were almost all injured.

The left wing, which Li Zhi was responsible for, also encountered an unexpected fierce attack. As a result, the Azure Void's mortals had no problems, but Li Zhi's Zhenshan Army fell into chaos. After 20% casualties, the Zhenshan Army's morale was scattered, and people kept fleeing from the rear army.

Li Zhi made a decisive decision, swung his sword to kill several officers who took the lead in fleeing, and then personally went into battle. The Yanhuang Sword light shone on the whole field, which stabilized the battle line and barely held on until the Shaman tribe retreated.

But Li Zhi's armor was also shattered, he had 17 wounds, and was hit by 9 curses; the blood flowing from his wounds was green.

As soon as the Shaman army retreated, Li Zhi fell backward. The two Dharma Form cultivators were also covered in wounds. In great shock, they hurriedly treated him. It was just that when they came, there were three Dharma Form cultivators, but during the battle, one companion was ambushed by a Great Shaman from a hundred zhang away, who flicked his tongue and stuck to him, and then he was dragged into the Shaman army and disappeared.

Fortunately, although the two Dharma Form cultivators and Li Zhi were seriously injured, they also had a continuous supply of heaven and earth gifts to replenish their vitality, so there was no immediate threat to their lives.

In the medicine garden, Old Daoist Chuhe was pale, his hands trembling, as he was treating the flying mink. One of the flying mink's front paws was almost cut off, with only a little skin and flesh connected.

The old Daoist nagged while treating the wound: "I'm sorry, Sun Yu only knows how to treat people, and he is still unconscious, so I can only do it myself. Which bastard is this, actually striking so heavily."

The cat was also covered in wounds, only slightly better than the flying mink. A section of the snake's tail was gone, and the cat was licking its wounds.

This battle was dangerous. Although True Person Chuhe's heart to fight was very firm, Wei Yuan firmly pressed him in the medicine garden and did not allow him to take a single step out of the medicine garden.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan had foresight; otherwise, given the danger of tonight's battle, the old Daoist might have died in some corner without knowing it.

Zhang Sheng returned to her residence, closed the door, and lay on the bed. After the great battle, all kinds of affairs were extremely complicated, and it was a time when the Human World Renjian Yanhuo needed manpower. Zhang Sheng could not fight now, so she had to help Wei Yuan with worldly affairs.

But this time, entering the Human World Renjian Yanhuo did not appear in the research institute's main hall, but was placed in the center of a huge black and white array disk, and the position she stood in was the eye of the array. In the eye of the array, there was also a huge Ghost Shaman phantom, which was painfully and silently howling, with starlight scattering from its body.

Zhang Sheng suddenly felt a move in her heart. Looking up at the sky, she found a bit of tribulation cloud emerging from beyond the firmament, and it reached Zhang Sheng's head in an instant!

Zhang Sheng felt a move in her heart. She had watched two tragic great battles, had new insights into the general trend of heaven and earth and the life and death of the human world, and then discussed the Dao with Su Xuejing, having long since completed the last link of her Dao heart. But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, she would attract a heavenly tribulation!

It was just forging a Dao Foundation, why was there a heavenly tribulation?

The tribulation cloud in the sky was real, and the target it locked onto was Zhang Sheng. This was the heavenly tribulation for forging a Dao Foundation. Whether Zhang Sheng was willing or not, it had come anyway.

In the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, none of Zhang Sheng's magic treasures were at hand, so she could only rely on her own Primordial Xu Shiqi to resist. In fact, even if she could use magic treasures, there would be no difference; the few magic treasures in Zhang Sheng's hands were as good as nothing.

【Looking one by one】

Zhang Sheng had never seen the Yin-Yang Array, but feeling that she was standing in the eye of the array, she had already been connected with the array and the Shaman tribesman from an unknown origin beside her.

The tribulation cloud formed, and a thick heavenly thunder struck down. Zhang Sheng's eyes suddenly shrank; the power of this heavenly tribulation actually chased the heavenly tribulation for advancing to the Dharma Form stage!

The moment she saw the heavenly tribulation, Zhang Sheng knew that the Dao Foundation she was about to condense had problems, and she was afraid that she had already violated the taboos of heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, she should have returned to the Primordial Palace mountain gate, asked Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi to set up an array, asked Ancestor Xuan Yue to protect her, and resisted the heavenly tribulation by relying on the Primordial Palace mountain gate, the secret place of the Tianqing Hall, and a temporary array.

But now, there was only a Yin-Yang Array with unknown purposes here.

However, Zhang Sheng had experienced great storms and waves after all, so she quickly calmed down and concentrated all her efforts to protect her Primordial Xu Shiqi.

Although the heavenly thunder was thick, it had no other peculiarities. After it fell, the entire Yin-Yang Array was activated, weakening the power of the thunder tribulation by 30%. Zhang Sheng immediately looked at the array with new eyes.

The heavenly tribulation was the direct embodiment of the will of the Heavenly Dao, and other arrays could at most be called "near the Dao," but the heavenly thunder was the Great Dao itself. Therefore, no matter how powerful an array was, it could not weaken the power of the heavenly tribulation by about 20%. Was this array in the Human World Renjian Yanhuo actually stronger than the array set up by Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi?

Wei Yuan's figure suddenly appeared beside the Yin-Yang Array. Seeing the heavenly tribulation fall, his face changed instantly. He knew very well that Zhang Sheng's physical body could not withstand such a heavenly tribulation now; it would be about the same if it were him.

But he arrived too late, and the heavenly thunder had already fallen.

However, at this time, besides Zhang Sheng, there was a Ghost Shaman remnant soul in the eye of the array. Although it was a remnant soul, it was still much stronger than Zhang Sheng, and the soul body was at least thousands of times that of Zhang Sheng. When the tribulation thunder fell, it inevitably split into a branch and struck the Ghost Shaman remnant soul!

This Ghost Shaman remnant soul had been tortured by the array day and night, and at this moment, it was struck by a heavenly thunder again, immediately wailing and scattering hundreds of starlight sparks.

Zhang Sheng was trembling all over, covered in thunder and fire. This was the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, not the outside world. The Primordial Xu Shiqi had no physical body protection and could only resist hard.

A moment later, the aftershock of the first thunder passed. Zhang Sheng stretched her hands forward, and an immortal sword gradually took shape from nothing.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that this hurdle had passed.

In the blink of an eye, the immortal sword in Zhang Sheng's hand took shape, blooming with light, illuminating the surrounding hundred zhang! This immortal sword had a beautiful shape, radiated light, and there were faint shapes of dragons and beasts on the blade.

But no matter how Wei Yuan looked at this sword, he felt it was familiar. In the past year or so, he had seen at least seven or eight hundred of them. This was exactly the representative work of the Azure Void Dao Foundation: the Great Brightness Demon-Subduing Sword!

Although the sword in Zhang Sheng's hand could be called perfect in all aspects, and the shapes of dragons and beasts were constantly swimming, which should be somewhat divine, it was still the Great Brightness Demon-Subduing Sword.

Wei Yuan could hardly believe his eyes. Was the teacher going to prove the invincible heart with the Great Brightness Demon-Subduing Sword?

At this time, Wei Yuan suddenly discovered that the heavenly tribulation was not over yet. Zhang Sheng was holding the newly acquired Great Brightness Demon-Subduing Sword, waiting for the second heavenly thunder to fall.
