Although Lu Sheng discovered that Zhao Haiâs spiritual qi density was similar to his, he also knew that Zhao Hai was only at the Soul Fusion Stage. Because of this, he still has the confidence to deal with Zhao Hai. He also believed that Zhao Hai couldnât fly and couldnât do instantaneous movements. Therefore, Lu Sheng was betting on his artifacts to win.
But at the same time, Lu Sheng has to recognize that Zhao Haiâs blade technique was formidable. He still needed to look for opportunities to kill him. Otherwise, once Zhao Hai uses his blade to stop his attack, then the battle would continue.
What Lu Sheng needed to do right now was to leave Zhao Haiâs blade qi encirclement. Only once he breaks through Zhao Haiâs siege could he position himself where he could attack without being attacked.
Although Lu Shen knows that Zhao Hai possesses a flying beast, he wasnât afraid. The reason Zhao Hai was able to play around him last time was because he just broke through to the Teleportation Stage. He still hasnât adapted to flight. If Zhao Hai released his flying beasts this time, Lu Sheng would be able to easily deal with them.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng used his sword to disperse that blade qi around him. Then he used his mastery of space to teleport out. His figure flashed and left Zhao Haiâs encirclement. Then he flew in mid-air.
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Shengâs movement and couldnât help but stare. Seeing Zhao Haiâs stunned look, Lu Sheng laughed, âZhao Hai, did you forget that Iâm at the Teleportation Stage? I can fly while you can only watch below. Go release your flying beasts, letâs see how I kill them.â
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Sheng and sneered, âFrog at the bottom of the well.â After he said that, Zhao Haiâs figure moved and also flew in the air. The two were now flying in the air, separated by a distance of 100 meters.
Lu Sheng saw Zhao Hai flying and couldnât help but be stunned. He exclaimed, âHow is this possible! How can you fly? This is impossible.â
Zhao Hai sneered, âAlthough I havenât arrived at the Teleportation Stage, my spiritual qi isnât worse than yours. Why can you fly while I canât?â
Lu Sheng was stunned for a while and stopped talking. He felt that what Zhao Hai said was reasonable. Flight has nothing to do with cultivation but instead with the concentration of spiritual qi. It just so happened that the spiritual qi of Teleportation Stage cultivators were enough for them to fly. Although Zhao Hai hasnât reached the teleportation stage, his spiritual qi was similar to a Teleportation Stage cultivator. With this, he could fly.
Lu Shengâs complexion changed. Then his voice turned cold, âEven if you can fly, it will be the same. I would still kill you.â After saying that, Lu Sheng waved his sword and attacked Zhao Hai. At the same time, Zhao Hi lifted his blade and welcomed the attack.
The two fought for more than ten rounds. Lu Shengâs complexion was already ugly. He didnât think Zhao Hai would be so strong.
What Lu Sheng didnât know was that ascenders held an advantage in mid-air battles compared to people in the True Spirit Realm. Ascenders have long accustomed to being able to fly while the people of the True Spirit Realm had a different experience. This advantage was especially visible on a genius like Zhao Hai. Ten Lu Shengs wouldnât be enough to fight Zhao Hai.
Lu Shengâs defensive domain has been pressed to a very small area. Several of Zhao Haiâs blade qi were almost cutting through. This made Lu Sheng sweat. But he didnât stop resisting. His eyes were still bright as though he was planning something.
The two fought for more than ten rounds before Zhao Haiâs blade broke through Lu Shengâs defensive circle. A blade cut Lu Shengâs shoulder. Seeing that his attack came through, Zhao Hai couldnât help but show a smile.
At this time, Lu Shengâs eyes flashed. His body disappeared with a flash and reappeared behind Zhao Hai. He didnât pause and slashed at Zhao Haiâs neck.
However, Lu Sheng couldnât show a happy expression. He could feel that his sword didnât touch anything. This meant that his attack didnât connect with Zhao Hai. He only slashed Zhao Haiâs afterimage.
At this moment, Zhao Hai appeared in front of Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng was startled. He quickly retreated and felt his heart turn cold. He looked down and found a blade stuck to his heart. Then blood gushed out from his chest like a fountain.
Lu Sheng stared at this development. It took him a while to understand what happened. He looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, then he muttered, âHow is this possible? This is teleportation. How did you do it?â
Zhao Hai sneered, âYouâre wondering if I reached the Teleportation Realm? Well let me tell you that I havenât. However, you forgot that there are divergent abilities in this world. My divergent ability is spatial control. I can teleport on my own. You didnât know anything about me, but you dared to attack. Lu Sheng, itâs a miracle that you still lived until now.â
Hearing Zhao Hai, Lu Sheng couldnât help but vomit blood. He pointed at Zhao Hai and said, âYou, youâŠ.â Then his body began to fall down.
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Shengâs corpse and sneered, âYou think you can kill me? This Zhao Haiâs life isnât cheap.â Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and sent Lu Shengâs corpse to the Space. At the same time, he descended from the sky.
Just as Zhao Hai stepped foot on the ground, he heard several people flying from a distance. He immediately guessed that they were reinforcements from the Tyrant Blade Sect. After all, this was still inside the territory of the sect. Learning that someone provoked Zhao Hai, the local branch of the sect needed to send experts. Since the local town doesnât have any experts, it took quite some time before skilled disciples arrived.
Zhao Hai doesnât blame them for being late. His battle with Lu Sheng didnât take a long time. In fact, these people were early to arrive.
Zhao Hai immediately let Laura and the others out. As soon as Laura and the others were taken out, a few black-clothed cultivators appeared on Whitehead Mountain. Before long, the group found Zhao Hai. They quickly descended to the ground. There were six people present, all of them were at the Teleportation Stage.
When the group stepped on the ground, Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, âZhao Hai has seen the Senior Brothers. I will definitely remember your help today.â
The leader of the group was a 30-year-old looking man. He has a thin copper-colored face and a serious expression. He returned Zhao Haiâs greeting, âJunior Brother, I heard a report that someone has kidnapped your wives.â
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, âJust a rowdy clown. Iâve already dealt with them.â
The leader knit his brows and said, âJunior Brother, this isnât a joking matter. I heard that the assailant is a Teleportation Stage expert. What condition did you reach, given that your wives have been returned?â
Zhao Hai stared, he didnât expect the other party to reach this conclusion. He smiled faintly as he shook his head, âSenior Brother, youâre thinking too much. I actually know that person. Maybe you have also heard their name. Itâs Lu Sheng. He came here to take revenge for our previous fight. Even if he proposes some conditions, I would never accept it.â
The leader stared, his expression changed as he asked, âYouâre saying that you killed Lu Sheng?â
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he waved his hand and Lu Sheng appeared right beside him. Zhao Hai smiled and said, âSenior Brother, take a look. This is Lu Sheng. Now heâs my Undead.â
The leader immediately felt the death qi on Lu Sheng. He also heard before that Zhao Hai could turn people into Undead. Seeing Lu Sheng, the leader couldnât help but breathe in cold air. This was Lu Sheng, a Teleportation Stage cultivator. In the end, he was turned into Undead by Zhao Hai. If he didnât see it with his eyes, he wouldnât have believed that it happened.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and received the Undead Lu Sheng. Then he smiled and said, âDoes Senior Brother believe me now? I didnât lie to you.â
The leader looked at Zhao Hai and muttered, âHow is this possible? How did you do it?â
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, âYou forgot about our sectâs blade tokens. This time, to keep my safety, my Masters gave me a blade token. My wives have also been given similar tokens. Lu Sheng was lucky that he managed to capture them.â
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, the leader of the reinforcements showed an enlightened expression. Then he laughed and said, âI see. I didnât expect Lu Sheng to fall under the blade token. I think he forgot that disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect often carry blade tokens with them. Junior Brother, your blade token is given by the Yin Yang Elders. Lu Sheng deserves his bad luck.â
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. He doesnât want them to know about his true strength, so he used the blade token as a reason. In fact, when Laura and the others were captured by Lu Sheng, although Zhao Hai was a bit anxious and a little angry, he didnât worry very much. He knew that Laura and the others carried blade tokens with them. If it werenât for the fact that they were inside a town, they would have shredded Lu Shengâs body with their blade tokens.
Zhao Hai looked at the leader and said, âMay I know Senior Brotherâs name? Senior Brothers have worked hard today. Iâd like to invite you to the town to share a few drinks.â
The leader smiled faintly and said, âThis one is Tie Gong from Ji Townâs branch hall. These are my junior brothers. I have long heard about Junior Brother Zhaoâs wines. Iâll make sure to drink as much as I can.â
Zhao Hai laughed and nodded, âThen Iâll make sure to satisfy Senior Brother.â Tie Gong and the others cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai. After that, Tie Gong led his group back to the previous town.
It was only then that Zhao Hai turned his head to Laura and the others, as well as Qiu Tie who was also taken along with the women. Caiâer just pulled all of them to the Space to escape. Naturally, they wouldnât want Qiu Tie to know about the Space, so when they were pulled in, Caiâer made Qiu Tie faint. He hasnât woken up yet.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and released his demon horse. Then he said, âWake Qiu Tie up. Then weâll return.â Laura complied and took out spatial water and gently sprayed it on Qiu Tieâs face. Before long, Qiu Tie opened his eyes.
After Qiu Tie woke up, the first thing he did was to pull his blade out and look at his surroundings. When he saw Zhao Hai, his eyes showed a surprised expression. He quickly received his blade and said, âYoung Master, youâre back. Iâve failed you. I cannot protect the Mistresses.â
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, âLittle Tie, you did well. Your response is also quick. Alright, stop thinking about it. Letâs go back.â After saying that, he patted Qiu Tieâs shoulder before hoisting him up on a demon horse. Laura and the others also got on their mounts before the group travelled towards the town.
Before long, the group arrived at the town and returned to the courtyard. Tie Gong and the others were already waiting for Zhao Haiâs group. Tie Gong and the others were curiously inspecting Zhao Haiâs carriage. Their mouths couldnât help but open in marvel.
Seeing Zhao Hai return, Tie Gong couldnât help but sigh and said, âJunior Brother, your carriage is really fantastic. It seems to be a mobile home. But traveling like this is a bit inconvenient.â
Zhao Hai replied, âItâs a bit inconvenient, but if I use it, I can enjoy the comfort of home while outside. Also, Iâm used to traveling like this in the lower realms. After arriving in the sect, I modified my carriage and it turned out like this. I made Senior Brother laugh.â
Tie Gong shook his head and said, âI didnât laugh. Junior Brother, can you get me a carriage like this? Iâll provide all the materials.â
Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldnât help but smile, âThatâs easy. But it would have to wait after I return to the sect. Moreover, Senior Brother doesnât need to have the exact same carriage as me. You can design it as you like. When the time comes, I can help you refine it.â
Tie Gong showed a happy expression, âGood, then Iâll thank Junior Brother in advance. My Masterâs birthday is coming. I donât know what gift to give him. If Junior Brother can refine the carriage before that, I would use it as a gift. But I donât know when it can be refined. Can you do it within five years?â
Zhao Hai stared, he quickly replied, âIâll refine it immediately after I return to the sect. It shouldnât take a long time. Senior Brother can rest assured.â
