Chapter 628 Zhao Duan: Heavenly Man? That thing, I am also
In just a blink of an eye, the entire Dongxuan Lake turned into a battlefield.
At this moment, as the two sides completely tore their faces apart, the masters of both camps took action one after another and fought each other.
For a moment, vigorous magic power and abundant energy were intertwined everywhere, especially above everyone's heads, the battle between the Empress and Wu Xiankui in the sky stirred up the heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles, and the clouds in the sky also shook into strange shapes.
In contrast, Zhao Duan and Prince Jing seemed to be standing in the "eye" of the storm.
No matter how fierce the fighting around them was, the two of them remained motionless, as if they were the center of this world.
"Is this all you have? If this is all you have, I really don't understand why you said 'give it a try'." Zhao Duan said with a strange expression.
He seemed very relaxed, and even had the heart to gossip in such a situation.
But in reality, his mind and body have been stretched to the limit, and he is alert to the powerful enemies that may be lurking around him.
Prince Jing seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled and said:
"No need to look for it, all the helpers I brought with me this time are already here."
Zhao Duan's vigilance increased instead of decreasing:
"Really? Then I really don't understand where your confidence comes from."
I am a person of high level in the world, and I am only one step away from the great perfection. How can Prince Jing compete with me?
"confidence?"
Prince Jing laughed at this time. His laugh was conceited, proud, and contemptuous.
He almost looked down at Zhao Duan and said, "You..."
However, at this moment, an accident happened!
Suddenly, a blooming lotus appeared in Zhao Duan's eye sockets, and a transparent dragon girl opened her eyes.
God [Dragon Girl]!
At this moment, Zhao Duan released the Dragon Girl without any warning, trying to kill Prince Jing as soon as possible.
After all, he had watched countless TV dramas in his previous life and knew very well when it was okay to talk nonsense and when it was not.
The last time the Dragon Girl ate the Guhuo Zhenren, she felt like she had been nourished. Although there was no essential change, she recovered to the peak of her strength.
At this moment, in order to be on the safe side, Zhao Duan cast all the power of the Dragon Girl on Prince Jing without reservation.
The pupil technique of wild gods can instantly cause worldly cultivators who lack the means to deal with it to fall into depravity.
But how could Prince Jing be completely helpless?
An ordinary-looking jade hanging around his waist suddenly lit up.
An invisible and intangible, yet real spiritual power enveloped his entire body. The Dragon Girl's full-strength attack was just like a bullet hitting an illusory shield, causing ripples in the air.
At the same time, the dragon girl closed her eyes and curled up back into the lotus.
Zhao Duan's eyes also returned to normal.
"Oh, the Dragon Girl in the hands of the monks of Shenlong Temple has indeed fallen into your hands," Prince Jing was not very surprised, and said calmly:
"So, you used this thing to kill Guhuo Zhenren at Huting."
It was precisely because he knew that Guhuo Zhenren had been killed that he deliberately carried an ancient talisman to protect the soul.
No, you guessed wrong... Zhao Duan was not very disappointed either. If Prince Jing could be killed with just the Dragon Girl, it would be an underestimation of the weight of the leader of the Eight Kings.
He was not surprised to learn about the battle between Jingchuan and Huting. He just said calmly:
"When did you know Xu Jianwen was still alive? Were you involved in the Xuanmen coup? Were you Xu Jianwen's backer? So after the Xuanmen coup failed, you've been secretly supporting the Kuangfu Society?"
Prince Jing shook his head, looking disdainful:
"That scoundrel Xu Jianwen is worthy of my loyalty? If I had known he was still alive, I would have used him as the Second Prince long ago."
At this point, he no longer needed to hide anything.
Even Prince Jing didn't mind wasting more time talking. On the one hand, he also wanted to find out Zhao Duan's cards to avoid a setback. On the other hand...
Wouldn't it be unsatisfying to just kill this hateful guy who has repeatedly caused countless troubles to me?
"So, Xu Jianwen found you not long ago." Zhao Duan nodded and said:
"Very good, thank you for clearing up a doubt of mine, but my sword will not be merciless from now on. The jade pendant on your waist can withstand attacks at the spiritual level, but can it withstand swords?"
Prince Jing was not afraid at all, and continued where he had left off:
"Zhao Duan, didn't you ask me what gave me the confidence to become your enemy? I'll tell you now."
As he spoke, Prince Jing slowly stepped forward.
It was at this step that the gorgeous python robe on his body suddenly shattered.
Amid the sound of cloth tearing, the gorgeous clothes exploded, revealing the soft armor underneath. But this was not the key point. The key point was the rays of orange light that suddenly shot out from his body.
That was the pure energy gushing out from his pores. Prince Jing's muscles bulged under his clothes, and his face, which originally looked a little old, was instantly filled with energy and blood. His gray temples turned black, and the wrinkles on his skin were smoothed out. He seemed to have become ten years younger!
A powerful aura spread out!
His aura continued to rise, from the first level in the world, all the way to the middle level, high level, and perfection...
Finally, with the almost inaudible sound of "chains" breaking, the aura of Prince Jing Xuwen was almost comparable to that of a half-step celestial being!
Zhao Duan's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he showed surprise for the first time.
Prince Jing smiled and said:
"Didn't you ask me where my confidence comes from? Zhao Duan, do you think you are a martial arts genius? But am I also a mediocre person? Do you think you can suppress me with your cultivation? Haha..."
He smiled proudly, his eyes looking down upon me:
"Now, tell me who will win and who will lose today?"
Half-step to heaven? !
Prince Jing himself is actually a warrior at the half-step heavenly realm?
Zhao Duan's face was solemn. He thought about the many trump cards Xu Wen might have, and also thought that since even Xu Jingtang could temporarily advance to the realm of heaven, Prince Jing must have some means to save his life.
But he never expected that Prince Jing's own cultivation was so high.
If Prince Jing was so powerful, why did he have to use other people to assassinate him twice? Why didn't he do it himself?
Hide your shortcomings?
These two words popped up in Zhao Duan's mind.
It should be noted that according to the archives of the imperial shadow guards, although Prince Jing had been practicing since childhood, his talent for practice was quite average. He was just a mortal warrior who was not good at fighting and was basically in the stage of strengthening his body.
Therefore, no matter how much he calculated, he did not take into account Prince Jing's own cultivation level.
"Are you wondering why I, with such great cultivation, have never revealed it before?"
Prince Jing seemed to have won the battle and said proudly:
"That's right, there is naturally a layer of concealing one's shortcomings. As a descendant of the royal family, I have seen those royal stone tablets when I was young. I am not like you worshippers who can only see the next level after reaching a certain level.
However, I knew back then that being too outstanding as a prince would only bring disaster, so I always suppressed my talent and never practiced. It was not until I was named Prince Jing and moved away from the capital that I finally stopped suppressing myself. Unfortunately...
It was precisely because of wasting the best time that his cultivation progress was damaged. At this age, he has only entered the worldly perfection...
The previous few times, I didn't show it to you because I was afraid of provoking my good niece to kill me in advance. I just endured it again and again. But after you started the rebellion, your thoughts became clear, and you quietly ascended to another level. Now you can be considered a half-step celestial being...
Zhao Duan, are you still calm and composed now?"
Zhao Duan looked solemn as he stared at Prince Jing who was pressing forward with overwhelming momentum. His cultivation was also stimulated in response to the pressure, but when the two were competing against each other, he was ultimately one level weaker than the other.
However, despite the huge gap in their cultivation, Prince Jing still did not attack immediately. Instead, he took two steps, then stopped and said calmly:
"In this state, can you still maintain your composure? As expected, being half a step above heavenly being isn't enough. You've resorted to such a drastic measure, and I don't know what method you used, even bringing out my beloved niece.
I think you also calculated that Wu Xiankui might take action. Since you calculated Wu Xiankui, you must have hidden other means to secure victory.
The Dragon Girl's technique just now was sufficient to deal with ordinary cultivators, but not enough to deal with more powerful ones. So... is it one of those secret techniques that can temporarily achieve the status of a Celestial Being cultivator? I heard that back in Linfeng Dao, you briefly advanced to Celestial Being status, controlling the clouds and rain, and thwarting the Yunfu soldiers' plan to burn the city. I imagine you used some method.
Did you use it to kill Xu Jingtang later? Oh, no need to answer, I don't care. I only know that with Master Xuanyin in the West, Zhang Yanyi will definitely not be able to show up today.
And if I want to completely suppress you, it seems I can only use the power of a celestial being."
As he spoke, a strange golden "pill" appeared in Prince Jing's hand like magic.
Before Zhao Duan could react, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
"What is that?" Zhao Duan frowned, feeling uneasy.
Prince Jing smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the Buddha's relics?"
Zhao Duan was stunned:
"It's rumored that this is a precious Buddhist treasure, a relic made from the bones of past generations of celestial-level monks who passed away."
Prince Jing nodded and said:
“This relic is extremely precious, and I spent a lot of effort to get one.
Swallowing the relic is particularly demanding; one must possess Buddha nature. This king has been fasting and chanting for nearly twenty years in order to absorb this relic. As for its efficacy, you'll soon learn."
Indeed, Zhao Duan found out very quickly.
After Prince Jing swallowed the relic, after just a few breaths, a golden "sun" appeared on his chest and slowly sank into the sea of qi.
boom--
With a non-existent roar, all the meridians in Prince Jing's body began to burn. All the meridians in his body were bright and compelling. Faintly, one could see a burning Buddha bone in his body, gradually merging with him.
Prince Jing took another step forward.
“Crack!”
At this moment, a breath different from the previous one suddenly rose up, like a floating column of air, rushing straight into the sky.
Even the Empress and Wu Xiankui who were fighting in the sky felt something and stopped fighting almost at the same time. They looked down and their expressions changed.
The realm of heaven and man!
At this moment, Prince Jing ascended to heaven with the Buddhist relics.
"He is not a real celestial being, but a fake celestial being that can only last for a period of time." Xu Zhenguan made a quick judgment.
Its nature is somewhat similar to the evil spirit possession used by Xu Jingtang.
However, even a fake celestial being is enough to completely change the entire situation of the battle.
As long as Prince Jing wipes out a series of masters including Zhao Duan and Yuxiu, and then attacks and joins forces with Wu Xiankui, even she will have to retreat!
The empress's face changed, and she subconsciously changed the angle of the Taia sword in her hand, and was about to chop towards Prince Jing below.
But Wu Xiankui blocked the sword, and the madman said calmly:
"Your Majesty, the battle between you and me is not over yet."
The empress was furious and swung her sword towards Wu Xiankui. In the sky, sword light was like a waterfall, and the sound was terrifying.
…
"The realm of heaven and man!"
On Yutou Mountain, Zuo Tang and others were just watching in horror.
"What celestial being? How could Prince Jing become a celestial being?" Aunt Gu murmured.
The skinny man looked sharp and said:
"Prince Jing must have swallowed some kind of elixir that temporarily boosted his cultivation, but this is enough. Damn, three celestial beings attacking together, when have I ever seen such a grand scene in my life? It's really worth the price of admission."
The man carrying the two shoulders was also a little excited and commented calmly:
"Zhao Duan is finished now, unless he has similar methods."
…
The other side.
"Aren't you going to take action yet?" Tang Ping couldn't help but say. He stared at the battlefield in the distance, and the telescope in his hand was almost broken.
The elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp surrounded the huge Tianyuan cannon with concern.
"Should we fire? This cannon can lock onto a person and shoot without adjusting the angle."
Chen Gui stood at the firing position of the Tianyuan Cannon, his hand tightly gripping the trigger, and shook his head.
"Wait! You must not move until the master gives the signal!"
Tang Ping was extremely anxious, gritting his teeth and staring into the distance:
"But why haven't you fired yet? What are you waiting for, sir?"
…
Does Zhao Duan have any other tricks up his sleeve?
It wasn't just Prince Jing who was waiting. Everyone on the battlefield was startled when they sensed the divine aura emanating from Prince Jing. Although the fighting didn't stop, they all paid some attention to that side, waiting for Zhao Duan's response.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Wang were the first to bear the brunt and felt the suffocating pressure.
Countless guests looked at Prince Jing who was approaching Zhao Duan step by step.
He also looked at Zhao Duan, who was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Does this guy named Zhao have any other cards up his sleeve?
Under everyone's gaze.
Zhao Duan silently held the sword at his waist.
He seemed to have forgotten that there were countless people fighting around him at the moment, and his eyes seemed to only focus on Prince Jing who was getting closer.
He smiled and said, "Tianren, you are indeed remarkable. You have many tricks up your sleeve, no wonder you dare to come to see me, but..."
As he spoke slowly, he suddenly pulled the sword out of the scabbard, then swung his hand and stabbed the sword into the ground!
He dropped the knife!
Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, confusion flashed across his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on.
Did he give up and surrender because he knew he was no match for his opponent?
This thought arose in the minds of countless spectators.
However, the next second, Zhao Duan untied his belt and slowly stroked his slightly bulging belly. A mysterious power began to condense, burst out, and rise in his body.
He lowered his eyebrows, feeling the sea of qi about to explode, and said calmly:
"But Tianren...me too."
