Despite the fact that this ambush wasnât affected, there was still a hint of heaviness in Zu Wenqiuâs eyes:
"I did somewhat underestimate this person, but... itâs not a big deal."
Indeed, itâs not a big problem. Although this Double Pupil Cultivator before him possesses formidable strength, he is merely at the mid-stage of Unification. At this stage, few can rival him.
However, the gap between mid-stage and late-stage Unification is quite profound!
Even within the late-stage Unification, the differences in strength are as vast as the heavens and the earth.
The gap might even be more exaggerated than that between Nascent Soul and Refining Void Cultivators.
Just like now, although heâs already a late-stage Unification cultivator, he can never fully fathom his master, Master Changying. In front of Master Changying, he feels as if heâs stripped bare, without a trace of secrecy.
Thinking of Master Changying, his heart slightly sank.
Countless thoughts receded like the tide at that moment.
Leaving only clarity and silence.
The changes in the surrounding Dao Domain were clearly reflected in his mind.
At the same time, under his command, countless sword-light transformed one into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand... In the blink of an eye, 108,000 sword-lights, like a dense comb, enveloped the entire Dao Domain!
"Letâs see where you can hide now!"
A fierce gleam flashed in Zu Wenqiuâs eyes.
The range covered by the Dao Domain was enormous, but to those at their level, it was trivial.
These countless sword-lights swept through, about to reach the position of the great bird, when suddenly, a discordant note emerged among the uniform sword-lights.
"Found you!"
Zu Wenqiu sneered, clenched his single hand!
In an instant, countless sword-lights closed in, sealing the void.
The sword-light within rotated rapidly, stabbing toward the discordant spot.
Clang clang clang!
Amid the crisp sounds, a golden-red figure suddenly flew out from the blood mist.
Raising his hand like a blade, he cleaved through all the attacking sword-lights with a single palm.
His tattered robe flapped loudly in the strong wind.
Revealing countless wounds pierced through him, yet they soon coalesced and healed.
His thick black hair danced wildly, his face expressionless, only a sharp gleam in his pair of golden double pupils!
"What formidable physique!"
Zu Wenqiu couldnât help but exclaim in admiration.
But it was just admiration. Although the opponentâs physique exceeded his expectations and couldnât be shattered in one blow, it was no more than a matter of wearing him down.
He had plenty of means!
Then, with a cold smile, he folded his fingers into a sword, instantly condensing a heavy and solid sword-light in the sky, which plunged straight down!
Chong Hua slightly tilted his head, gazing at this sword-light.
It was unavoidable, and he could not avoid it!
Once dodged, the initiative would be lost, and heâd fall behind at every step!
So he moved!
Rather than retreating, he advanced!
Transforming into a blood light, like a golden-red dragon, roaring and rushing upstream!
Colliding head-on with that condensed sword-light!
Swoosh!
The sword-light pierced directly into the body of the golden-red dragon.
"Roar!"
With a roar!
Zu Wenqiuâs smile had not yet blossomed before it froze on his face.
He saw that golden-red dragon allowing the sword-light to penetrate its body, neither dodging nor evading, flying straight toward him!
From within the golden-red dragon, came Chong Huaâs voice, full of arrogance:
"Zu Wenqiu, dare to fight me up close?"
"What audacity!"
Even though he was greedy for the secrets behind Chong Huaâs pair of double pupils, at this moment, sensing the opponentâs intent and determination, Zu Wenqiu couldnât help but sincerely exclaim!
Then he laughed loudly:
"Why not!"
Sword energy in hand, the Dao Domain enhanced him, like a beam of sword light, he darted rapidly towards the golden-red dragon!
For cultivators at their level, close combat or long-range battle didnât matter, it was merely a matter of habit and the compatibility of their spells.
With the Dao Domain protecting him, his defense was not the least inferior to the same level of Body Cultivation.
Even compared to Body Cultivation, he had some more eerie methods.
The next instant, a sword and a dragon clashed together!
Their battle was completely indecipherable, even the sound vanished into invisibility.
As if great sounds were silenced, great forms became invisible.
Only occasionally could a bit of residual force be seen leaking from every corner of the void...
Time quickly passed.
Initially, Zu Wenqiuâs heart remained calm because although he couldnât quickly crush the opponent, suppressing him was not difficult, even gravely wounding him was not a problem.
But the longer they fought, the more he felt something was amiss, until Chong Hua, covered with wounds, once again charged as if unscathed, and he was suddenly startled!
"No, thereâs something wrong!"
"How does this person seem never to tire?"
"The healing of his wounds is practically instantaneous... Even the Blood Wheel Scripture of the Holy Desecration Realm shouldnât have such effects..."
"He didnât even seem to use any treasures..."
He vaguely realized he might have overlooked something.
The constant smile and calmness on his face couldnât be maintained.
With a slight movement of his heart, he forcefully repelled the opponent!
Swiftly retreating.
Then quickly took out an elixir from his sleeve and swallowed it.
While Chong Hua, with a sword jammed in his chest, healed instantly, even forcing the sword out. In his golden double pupils, reflecting Zu Wenqiuâs figure, there was a trace of demonic and fierce determination to fight to madness, roaring like a demon god:
"Still not enough!"
"Come again!"
Zu Wenqiuâs complexion changed slightly, and at this moment, he finally confirmed that there was indeed something amiss with the opponent!
"No, at this rate, not only might I not wear him down, I might be dragged down by him instead!"
"I can only do this!"
With a move of his heart, after a slight hesitation, a fierce decision flashed in his eyes!
