After that, my master was depressed for a long time, and I don't know how he got out of it.
Although Azu is powerful now, she may not be as powerful as her master back then. If she were to fight the emperor, she would definitely face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Therefore, she wanted to use words to provoke the emperor and make him give up.
"What a sharp-tongued vixen," Zhao Hao chuckled. "You've been reading too many romance novels. Those who achieve great things naturally nip danger in the bud. It's so satisfying to be invincible and defeat everyone. Why do you have to find someone of the same level? Are you a masochist?"
Back then, they were rivals with the Demon Emperor for so many years, and neither of them could defeat the other, so they couldn't wipe out the demon race in one fell swoop.
The whole process was far from pleasant; he fantasized countless times about the Demon Emperor's sudden death.
Unfortunately, although he finally got this result, he was also close to the five signs of decay. Compared to dealing with the demon race, immortality was more important.
Qiu Honglei was speechless for a moment, never expecting the emperor to be so lacking in the demeanor of a master.
At this moment, Jing Teng's voice rang out: "Your mindset is wrong. Without the motivation and competition of an opponent, it is absolutely impossible to become an immortal on your own. If you have this kind of thinking, you are destined to never make any progress in this life."
Zhao Hao's face darkened: "With your ant-like cultivation level, do you dare to lecture me?"
Sensing that the other party was truly angry, Zu'an subtly stood in front of Jing Teng, fearing that he might suddenly make a move.
Seeing the other party's actions, Jing Teng felt a warmth in his heart and raised his head without fear: "My cultivation is indeed as insignificant as an ant, but those words were not spoken by me, but by Immortal Lord Baopu back then. Although your cultivation is high, it is still far inferior to that of Immortal Lord back then."
Zhao Hao's expression shifted: "Are there really immortals in this world?"
“Of course there are,” Jing Teng replied. “The Immortal Lord is one example.”
"Hahaha, it seems that heaven has taken pity on me and has finally allowed me to find traces of immortality." Zhao Hao's eyes were full of fervor. For so many years, he had been pursuing immortality, but it was all just a vague and unattainable thing. Only now did he truly feel that it was within reach.
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing, who were standing nearby, also became excited. As the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," so perhaps they could too...
Pshaw, I'm not a chicken or a dog.
"Now we can't let you leave even more. We'll kill that brat Zu'an first." Zhao Hao grinned maliciously and suddenly pointed at Zu'an. A golden finger appeared on his forehead, so fast that no one could react in time. There was a faint sense of space collapsing at the tip of the finger. Obviously, if you were hit, you would definitely not survive.
"If you kill him, I will not say a word to you!" Jing Teng screamed.
Zhao Hao's eyes narrowed, and he moved his finger down, instead aiming for Zu An's chest.
Zuan had already activated a strong wind, instantly teleporting dozens of feet away.
Zhao Hao calmly said, "Space means nothing to me."
He didn't make any move, yet the golden finger remained as always by his side.
Zuan shouted, drew his longsword, and a dazzling sword light poured out.
However, his strike missed its mark, and the golden finger was already pressed against his chest.
puff!
Zuan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground like a broken sandbag.
"Azu!"
"Young Master Zu!"
Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng were both shocked and rushed over to check.
Zhao Hao said coldly, "I was just caught off guard just now. Now that I've seen that sword strike, how could I be hit a second time?"
"If I gave you a few more years, with your sword intent, you might have a chance to fight me, but unfortunately you are still far from it."
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing exchanged a glance, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes. Fortunately, they had already surrendered to him and no longer needed to think about anything else.
Seeing that Zu An was seriously injured but not in mortal danger, Jing Teng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw Zhao Hao walking towards him, he hurriedly spread his arms to block him: "Let him go, and I'll go with you!"
Zhao Hao hesitated. He could arrest both of them, but if he really angered this woman and she decided to fight to the death, it would be difficult to handle. After all, only she knew about the matter of the Immortal Lord Baopu.
Just then, Zu An put a hand on Jing Teng's shoulder: "Thank you, Miss Jing, but I'm not the kind of person who needs to sacrifice a woman to survive."
Jing Teng got impatient: "What time is it and you're still acting tough?"
Qiu Honglei gave her a strange look. She was willing to risk her life to save him, and she still said there was nothing between them?
However, with disaster looming, she had no time for jealousy.
Zuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with him."
Zhao Hao chuckled: "What methods do you have to deal with me?"
