"Why did Grandmaster Uncle choose Zuo Jiandong?" Yuan Ran showed undisguised surprise when he saw Zuo Jiandong.

Gao Han, who was standing next to him, heard this and asked, "Is there any problem with Zuo Jiandong?"

"Almost none of the disciples of the Phantom Demon Sect are good people. Zuo Jiandong is one of the worst. The disciple of the Phantom Demon Sect, Master Qingyun, is the elder leading the Phantom Demon Sect this time. The middle-aged man with a black beard and wearing a green Taoist robe is Master Qingyun. He is a demon cultivator who looks very righteous. Who knows how many bad things he has done behind the scenes? If we hadn't been able to find any evidence against him, we would have let him go long ago."

Gao Han followed Yuan Ran's line of sight and saw that he was indeed a hypocritical demon cultivator, which could be determined from his nickname.

Yu Zilang had been eavesdropping on his conversation, and couldn't stand it after hearing this. "Junior Brother Yuan, you've said so much, but you haven't gotten to the point. The most powerful thing about Master Qingyun is that all of his conspiracies and shady methods, which are exposed in the open, are related to demons."

Yuan Ran just explained the brief outline of the situation and planned to tell the story later, but he was not angry when someone beat him to it.

"Demons are creatures that all cultivators on Lingtian Continent must kill upon seeing. Anything they do to demons will not violate the moral bottom line of the human race. This is the brilliance of Master Qingyun. Zuo Jiandong, who inherited his legacy, is naturally better than him. His greatest hobby is to torture demons for fun. The scenes are often very bloody and cruel."

When Yu Zilang said this, he suddenly sneered and looked at Zuo Jiandong.

"Although I love beauty, I am not like him. He cannot live without a beauty. If Zuo Jiandong does not torture the demons, he will go crazy."

Gao Han was a little curious, "Have you seen it?"

"Of course, we often go to the demon battlefield for training or to complete missions. We have been there before when the secret realm appeared. I have seen him slaughter demons more than once."

Yu Zilang's eyes were cold. It was the first time that Gao Han saw him so serious. He always thought he was sloppy along the way.

"Although he has not attacked any human cultivators, with his temperament, would he hold back if a conflict really occurred? I'm afraid there are quite a few human cultivators who have died at his hands in secret."

"Since they are so bloodthirsty, why haven't they caught any evidence against their master and disciple?" Gao Han asked again.

Pei Zhenghai, who heard their conversation, came over and said, "How cunning! We have always suspected that they treat human cultivators and demons differently."

"Why are you interrupting me?" Yu Zilang glared at him.

Pei Zhenghai rolled his eyes at him.

"What's the difference?"

"This is the cleverness of the Phantom Demon Sect. If they slaughter demons for pleasure and to relieve stress, then when they kill human monks, it is rational. Their methods are completely opposite and clean and efficient. That's why we haven't been able to catch them for so many years."

"They seem to be cruel and vicious, and cannot control their brutality when facing demons, but they have extraordinary willpower."

"This isn't a good thing for them in the long run, right?" Gao Han couldn't imagine how such contradictory people could come to this point.

"So killing demons is a good way for them to relieve stress. Many ideas that cannot be implemented on human cultivators can be implemented on demons. If anyone dares to stop them, they will be slandered as demons in turn." Pei Zhenghai shrugged.

Gao Han looked at Zhongli Tingzhou who was in the center of the battle circle, "Is that why we can't choose Zuo Jiandong?"

Yu Zilang said: "That's not the case, but it's best not to choose Zuo Jiandong, because this guy is different from Chen Binyu. He fights with his life at stake and is full of tricks. It's not easy to defeat him."

"So, if we want to deal with Zuo Jiandong, it's best to end it quickly?" Gao Han narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right. Zuo Jiandong also knows this. Many monks who fight against him will do the same. He will drag the battle out until his opponents are exhausted. If he can kill them, he will kill them on the spot. If he cannot kill them, he will also inflict unforgettable scars on them."

"Uncle Master Zhongli's cultivation is lower than his, and his spiritual power is not as deep as his. The best way is to fight quickly and decisively."

As they were talking, Zuo Jiandong, who was in the center of the battle circle, spoke again.

"You chose me, probably because you have heard of my name. Your fellow disciples should have told you that the only way to deal with me is to fight quickly and decisively." Zuo Jiandong curled his scarlet lips.

Zhongli Tingzhou's face was solemn. "My fellow disciples? I don't have that many fellow disciples. Only one came today. He didn't know that I would choose you, and he wouldn't say anything even if he knew."

The unexpected answer made Zuo Jiandong stunned for a moment. What was this guy talking about?

Everyone in Zixiao Sect looked puzzled. Could the fellow disciples that Uncle-Master Zhongli was referring to be the Sixth Elder?

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sixth Elder, only to see that he was smiling without showing a trace of displeasure.

In terms of seniority, Great-Uncle Zhongli is indeed of the same generation as the Sixth Elder. There is nothing logically wrong with them being brothers.

Zuo Jiandong stopped talking to him about fellow disciples and brothers. "I'll give you a chance to choose. Hand over a purple gold medal and I'll let you go. If you don't, I'm not as measured as Chen Binyu."

"To tell you the truth, I haven't done much today. Now I'm itching to fight, and I really want to find someone to fight with. This challenge doesn't say you can't kill the opponent. If your elders don't fight in time, you'll die in vain."

"That may not be the case. It is also possible that you are the one who will die." Zhongli Tingzhou clenched his hand that was not holding the sword slightly, and then quickly loosened it. He did not notice that Zuo Jiandong's mouth corners suddenly curled up.

He always enjoys the process of slaughtering his enemies, so he pays special attention to the enemy's reaction. No matter how small his movements are, they can never be hidden from his eyes.

"It seems that you can't make a decision yet, so why don't I help you."

Zuo Jiandong suddenly stopped being in a hurry to end the challenge. It seemed like it was a very enjoyable process to bully the younger generations in front of the elders of Zixiao Sect.

After saying this, he glanced at the elders of the Youmo Sect. Since the latter did not make any response, he knew that this could be done.

"Red Star Imperial Sword!" Zuo Jiandong roared, and his body rushed in front of Zhongli Tingzhou like a bolt of thunder, and chopped down with force with the sword in his hand.

Zhongli Tingzhou used his speed, but facing Zuo Jiandong who was trying his best, he could only hastily block with his sword.

There was a loud bang and he was knocked back by the blow, with the sword in his hand almost falling out of his hand.

Zuo Jiandong took advantage of the victory and pursued the opponent. Every time he swung his sword, it was like the sound of a huge bell when it hit Zhongli Tingzhou's sword. The strength that he had been proud of before seemed to be suppressed after he was approached.

"I found your weakness." Zuo Jiandong slashed with his knife and rushed towards Zhongli Tingzhou with an evil smile.

After being stabbed more than a dozen times, Zhongli Tingzhou's face had turned a little pale.

"Really? The outcome isn't decided yet." He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on stubbornly.

Zuo Jiandong laughed loudly, "Yeah, the outcome is not decided yet, don't worry, this is just the beginning, there are more exciting things to come!"

After discovering that the opponent's close combat strength did not seem to be strong, Zuo Jiandong no longer gave him the opportunity to distance themselves from each other. He also liked close combat because in this way, he could be unscrupulous and it was easier for him to leave scars on the opponent.

"By the way, what do you think of the move your companion used to deal with Ge Haoming? You can try it now. It's a pity that you are not wearing white clothes." Zuo Jiandong said with a laugh while swinging his knife vigorously.

He likes the other person to wear white clothes, so that when the blood spreads, the picture will be more beautiful and make him feel more.

"How can you not wear white clothes? How about we pause for a moment and you change into white clothes?" Zuo Jiandong turned into a chatterbox, chattering non-stop and making a serious suggestion.

"Okay, then you step back." Zhongli Tingzhou replied seriously.

左建东愣了一下，他当然不是真心要给对方机会，只是故意耍他的，没想到这人还当真了，呵呵地冷笑，“居然这么天真，好啊，我退后。”

说完，他不仅没有退后，还欺身上去。

“你在学他一样，近战用刀砍我，让我没办法施展出真正的实力是吗？”钟离庭洲突然说道，声音很低。

“没错，”左建东毫不犹豫地承认了，得意地大笑，“怎么样，被自己同门师兄弟的招式打败的滋味，一定很不错吧。”

他一边说一边往前走，而钟离庭洲却是接连后退，被砍得几乎没有还手的余地。

钟离庭洲突然发出一声低吼，他不再执着于挥剑，用剑抵挡了下，腿下闪光，迅疾地后退，与他拉开距离。

左建东立刻追上去，但还是被他拉开了一小段。

钟离庭洲长剑匆促一挥，立刻飞出十几道剑光。

左建东冷笑一声，就这些弱了吧唧的剑光，也想对付他，他连抵挡的欲望都没有，竟直接以肉身冲了过去。

十几道剑光悉数落在他身上，竟没能伤他多少，只是在他身上留下几道轻浅的血口。

原本想借机拉开距离的钟离庭洲，计划顿时失败了，又被近身了。

“看来刚刚还不够教训，接下来我要动真格了。”左建东说话的同时，没有握刀的手突然出现一只泛着银光的利爪，利爪往前一抓不，嘶啦一声。

钟离庭洲的衣服被抓开了，还露出一道六指爪痕，这些痕迹上渗出丝丝鲜红的血液，下一秒，这些血液居然变成了黑色。

“你中毒了。”左建东轻声说道，脸上的笑容似血盆大口。

这一次，左建东没有再欺身近战，甚至主动退后了一小段距离，悠哉悠哉地看着他。

“糟了，师叔祖中了左建东的毒，这下麻烦了！”紫霄宗众人见状，脸色变了变。

“他的毒很特别？”什么也不清楚的高寒淡定地问道。

元然见他一点也不着急，以为他不知道才这么冷静，“当然了，左建东的毒叫血手毒鳞，会侵蚀修士的经脉，吞噬灵力，是一种比较阴损的招式，一旦中此毒，必须趁早吃下解药，否则会对经脉造成不可逆转的伤害，时间越长，越容易留下后遗症。”

“高寒，你快让钟离师叔祖认输吧，他身上的毒不能拖，只要催动灵力，就会加速血手毒鳞的挥发速度，不消片刻，就可能走遍全身的经脉。”

元然说完，钟离庭洲正好吐出一口黑血，这口黑血几乎快要凝结成块，吐出后直直地落入地面，那里正好有一块石头，噗嗤一声，血手毒鳞的毒液瞬间将石头灼穿了。

高寒表情瞬间凝重起来，没有被阴阳珠吸收，难道血手毒鳞真的那么厉害，连阴阳珠都拿他没办法？

“你给我下的什么毒，我的灵力怎么了？”钟离庭洲面色铁青地吼道。

高寒立马就放心了，还好，戏精还能演戏，说明血手毒鳞对他的作用有限，刚刚那口黑血，应该是他故意跟阴阳珠抢夺，逼出来的，阴阳珠要是有自己的意识，怕要郁闷死了吧。

左建东仰头大笑，“难道你的同门师兄弟没告诉过你，我左建东的拿手好戏血手毒鳞吗？”

“我的同门师兄弟，连你叫什么名字都不知道，又怎么会知道你的拿手好戏，你又是哪根葱。”钟离庭洲嚣张地解释道。

左建东笑容僵住了，冷下脸：“你一而再，再而三地挑衅我，看来是不想要解药了。”

“我说了你会给吗，不会就闭嘴。”钟离庭洲说完又吐了一口黑血，“既然你逼我，我也不再隐藏实力了，今天就是拼着被废，我也要杀了你！”

左建东被他气笑了，“杀我？我倒要看看你还有没有那个能耐。”

钟离庭洲手中的剑突然收了起来。

左建东愣了一下，旋即得意地笑了，“说好要拼命的呢，难不成你反悔了，要向我跪地求饶了不成？”

“做梦去吧你。”钟离庭洲手上重新出现一柄剑，“今天就让你尝尝仙器的厉害。”

左建东大吃一惊，这柄剑是仙器？不对，应该是伪仙器。

不过就算是伪仙器又如何，想要催动仙器，还是得用灵力，他身上被自己下了血手毒鳞，想释放足够催动仙器的灵力，需要的量很大，到时还没施展出来，怕就先把自己搞死了吧。

“我好怕啊，那就来啊。”左建东眯着眼睛，可惜如果能把这件伪仙器抢过来就好了。

元然看钟离师叔祖就要动真格，连忙对高寒说，“你快劝他，师叔祖一旦动用灵力催动伪仙器，血手毒鳞会迅速地扩散至他全身的。”

“是啊，听元然的，还是别逞能了，伤了根基可不好。”裴诤海也劝道。

“明天万仙道再次开启，接下来才是重头戏，没有必要执着于此，只是一次失败而已。”雷芯月也加入劝说地行列。

他们都以为，钟离庭洲是为了面子才这样做的。
