Chapter 156: Mutation in the Void

Looking at Ye Zhichen, Xiong Ao's heart was in turmoil.

The reputation of Baijie Dao Ren was well-known before he was born. He was a well-known top master among the living cultivators in the human world. The reason why Dayan Dynasty did not dare to send troops to Taixu Palace for the fourth time in all these years was largely because there were three ancestors in Taixu Palace, including Baijie Dao Ren.

The three were led by Baijie Dao Ren, and their cultivation had far exceeded the realm that a cultivator in the ascending period should have. It is rumored that the three have already stepped into that unknown realm and are at the absolute peak of combat power in the human world. They have proved themselves in the human world without ascending to the immortal world. They can be said to be living gods in the human world.

Dayan also has similar figures. Not only these two parties, but also in the many forces of the human world, demons and ghosts, there are several top-notch existences in any super power that can be called the overlord level. It is they who have preserved the status and safety of their own sects and deterred others from making rash moves.

Although these people are powerful, they are already above the cultivators. Unless they encounter a life-and-death crisis of the sect's destruction and the cessation of inheritance, they will not easily come out.

They are too involved. If they move casually, even if they just go out for a walk, it is likely to cause a great turmoil, making people wonder whether the forces they belong to are preparing to make a big move.

And if they are targeted by some hostile forces and designed to be killed, then once they die, the sect they belong to will not be far from extinction.

Therefore, the most common thing these people do is to retreat. On the one hand, they constantly increase their cultivation and prolong their lifespan, and patiently wait for the day when the immortal gate opens to ascend to the immortal world; on the other hand, they ensure their own safety while deterring all parties, and constantly cultivate their own inheritance disciples, so that their descendants will take over their positions after they ascend in the future and protect the safety of the sect.

At this time, hearing that Baijie Taoist would come, Xiong Ao couldn't help but sweat.

Ye Zhichen is not afraid, even if the peak master of any peak of Taixu Palace comes, he is not afraid. When the reinforcements of Dayan arrive, he is confident that he will lead them to fight against the reinforcements of Taixu Palace.

But people like Baijie Taoist are not within the normal calculation range.

Unless a person of the level of the Great Yan Protector of the Nation comes in person, no matter how many people come, it will be a dead end. Some things can no longer be solved by the number of people.

Thinking secretly in his heart, Xiong Ao suddenly had an idea and looked at Ye Zhichen without blinking.

"Senior Baijie is the ancestor of your Taixu Palace. It is impossible for him to move easily for such a junior. If what you said is true, it means that the young master must have something worthy of his attention. There are not many people in this world who can alarm Senior Baijie. It is said that Senior had a close relationship with Tianyi Daozun when he was young. So, the young master's master is really Tianyi Daozun?"

"Haha, what do you guess?" Ye Zhichen did not comment.

Xiong Ao looked at his face. Although the other party did not say it clearly, Xiong Ao had confirmed his guess in his heart.

Li Chuyi's master is probably the legendary Tianyi Daozun.

Thinking of his guess, Xiong Ao couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

Tianyi Daozun is the person Dayan has been looking for, and Li Chuyi has a significant relationship with Dayan.

After the incident, Li Chuyi disappeared. Dayan has been tracking for so many years without any results. They all thought that the child might have died long ago. Who knew that he not only survived, but also became the disciple of Tianyi Daozun. All this made Xiong Ao more and more frightened, and his heart was filled with hair.

It was as if an invisible big hand had kneaded all of this together, making many impossible things possible.

Knowing that it would be disadvantageous to drag it on, Xiong swung the axe and made a starting posture.

"I have studied hard for many years, and recently I have some new insights into breaking the law with force. Today, I would like to ask Brother Ye for advice!"

Ye Zhichen knew that he wanted to decide the outcome with one move, so he smiled lightly and swung the long sword lightly.

"Please!"

Xiong Ao's face became serious, and he urged all his magic power. When his momentum reached its peak, he raised the axe high.

"Break the mountains and rivers with force!"

He took a step forward, as if he had traveled through space. He came to Ye Zhichen in one step and swung the axe up high.

Ye Zhichen's face also froze, and he exuded an extremely cold meaning, as if all emotions did not exist in him. The expressionless face made people feel cold at a glance.

"《Silent Love》-Wu Xin!"

The long sword moved, drawing a mysterious trajectory, and it seemed to be slow but actually fast to meet the side of the axe.

Ding~~~

The two intersected, just like ordinary warriors fighting among mortals, only a gentle golden sound was emitted, and no violent fluctuations were transmitted.

But in Li Chuyi's Yin-Yang Dao eyes, countless dark cracks suddenly appeared at the intersection of the two weapons. Although it was fleeting, he still saw the true face of those cracks. They were space cracks, any trace of which could kill him.

After one move, both of them were shaken. Xiong Ao's axe was unloaded to one side, and Ye Zhichen's sword hand trembled slightly, obviously not feeling well.

"Force through the long rainbow!"

Without stopping, Xiong put away the axe and chopped it diagonally again. The axe was more powerful than before, but Ye Zhichen's face became more solemn.

Instead of meeting with a sword like before, Ye Zhichen's long sword shook continuously, and in an instant, he hit the two sides of the axe countless times. The "ding ding" sound was continuous, and even through the void where the sound was difficult to transmit, Li Chuyi, who was far away, still heard it clearly, and felt that his heart was twisted into a ball.

After these countless hits, the mighty momentum of the axe became weaker and weaker. In the end, Xiong Ao only felt his hand soften, and the axe was finally blocked aside again.

This time, Ye Zhichen did not wait for the opponent to attack again, but turned his sword and attacked Xiong Ao directly.

"Heart dead and soul hurt!"

Xiong Ao's face changed, and he dragged the axe back to defend, blocking in front of him like a door panel.

The long sword was blocked, and the tip of the sword touched the axe with a crisp "ding" sound and then retreated. Seeing this, Xiong Ao was about to withdraw the axe and attack again, but suddenly felt that his hair stood up, and a sword energy full of death passed through the axe and stabbed him directly.

"Hah!"

With a roar, Xiong Jiang's free big hand suddenly slapped the sword energy, and the sword energy was dispersed by a palm, but Xiong Jiang's injury had a wound. A trace of blood flowed out, and someone was injured for the first time since the two started fighting.

Ye Zhichen succeeded in one sword strike and was about to attack again, but he saw Xiong clench his palm and push it towards him violently, and the blood that escaped immediately shot towards him with a strong pressure.

Ye Zhichen hurriedly moved aside, but the distance was too close and a few drops of blood hit his shoulder, and several blood holes were immediately knocked out of his shoulder.

With a muffled sound, the two of them retreated at the same time, and after a slight distance, they just paused slightly, and immediately adjusted their offensive and attacked again.

Watching the two people fighting one move after another, Li Chuyi was stunned, and felt that this rigid fight at this time was more dangerous than the previous battle that could not be seen clearly. It took only a few moves to see blood, and as time went on, the wounds on their bodies became more and more.

"I don't understand!" Li Chuyi scratched his head.

He really didn't understand.

The two of them seemed to be moving many times slower now, and even he could see it clearly, but when the moves changed, many of them were so simple that he felt he could dodge them, but somehow they hit the other party, which made him confused.

And the feeling of their moves being as easy as an antelope hanging a horn when they switched moves made Li Chuyi look confused.

For example, Xiong Ao, who was obviously a tough way to break the law with force, somehow brought out a hint of femininity from time to time, and the mixed feeling of hardness and softness made Li Chuyi feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood.

And Ye Zhichen was the same. The seemingly complicated sword moves were just a combination of various basic sword techniques, just as he had said when he taught Li Chuyi before. The nine most basic tips of sword techniques were displayed in his hands, but there was a sense of ethereal weirdness everywhere, making it impossible to measure the source of the next sword.

Thinking of the pride he had when he first developed his sword technique, Li Chuyi couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It's no wonder that Ye Zhichen has always been dissatisfied with him. He really only learned a little bit. Even if he was lucky enough to comprehend the realm of sword power, he was just a beginner who didn't comprehend the essence.

Through the Yin-Yang Dao Eye, Li Chuyi carefully experienced the battle between the two, and tried his best to absorb some things he could understand from it, and secretly catered to himself. He felt that his understanding of fighting skills was slowly improving.

After a few more moves, Xiong Ao's front clothes were torn, and his chest was covered with sword wounds. Although Ye Zhichen had fewer external injuries, it seemed that the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth also caused him to suffer a serious hidden injury under the heavy axe of the bear general.

Li Chuyi couldn't help but worry a little, wondering if he should offer a Taoist talisman to help Ye Zhichen like Huoyunkeng. Even if his attack was not as good as a mosquito bite to Xiong Ao, as long as it could affect him a little, then Ye Zhichen would most likely win with this blow.

When masters compete with each other, when their strength is equal, the competition is about who makes a mistake first. As long as there is a flaw, then what awaits him is likely to be destruction.

As for the dignity of a cultivator, whether this is despicable, and whether it will affect Ye Zhichen's self-esteem, it is not a problem for Li Chuyi, who has been influenced by Taoist priests since childhood.

If you have lost your life, what dignity is there?

Can this thing be eaten?

Just as he was about to take out the Taoist talisman to help, the void behind him suddenly fluctuated slightly in silence, and a giant hand composed of rolling black air stretched out from it and grabbed him.

"Who is it!"

"You dare!"

Ye Zhichen and Xiong Ao shouted angrily. Li Chuyi didn't notice it, but they discovered its existence the moment the big hand popped out.

Without hesitation, the two turned around and flew over here, and an axe and a sword hit the black giant hand at the same time.

Li Chuyi, who reacted, felt the strong pressure coming from behind him, and didn't dare to look back. He controlled the gourd without hesitation and rushed forward.

Just when the black hand was about to catch him, the giant axe and the long sword arrived and hit him from the left and right.

The black hand was hit and the black air surged, but it did not dissipate. It just delayed slightly and grabbed Li Chuyi again.

Ye Zhichen and Xiong Ao, who arrived, changed their faces and looked at the black hand in shock. The two of them could not break it with one blow. The high level of cultivation of the owner of the black hand made them feel frightened.

Pulling Li Chuyi and throwing him behind him, Ye Zhichen took back the long sword.

"Go all out!"

Xiong Ao nodded, and after taking back the giant axe, he roared and attacked again with Ye Zhichen.
