Zhou Shu nodded and continued to ask, "So, you can't tell his true identity?
"I heard him say that he's a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom."
Zhan Jingtao said, "The Eastern Celestial Thearch is the Green Emperor of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. I've heard a little about the generals under the Green Emperor, but Mu Zhixing isn't one of them.
"I think there's a high chance that he's bluffing and thinks he can scare our Golden Dragon Guards."
Zhan Jingtao sneered. "Not to mention that he's not, so what if he's really a general of Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom? No one can behave atrociously in my Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!"
Zhou Shu was deep in thought. Mu Zhixing is indeed full of nonsense. Nine out of ten things he says are lies.
I knew it. Who would keep bragging about being a vanguard general of the Eastern Celestial Thearch?
If he's really a vanguard general, how can he be a general without an army?
Zhan Jingtao pondered and said, "Although there's a high chance that he's not a general of Gou Mang Heaven, it's hard to say.
"But that's not important. He has already been forced to this extent by the Golden Dragon Guards, and no one has come to his rescue. Either his accomplice has given up on him, or he really doesn't have an accomplice.
"We can close the net now."
Zhou Shu asked, "Commander, you are going to do it yourself?"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I come personally?" Zhan Jingtao said. "Mu Zhixing is a little strange. If we really let our men fight to the death, a few of our brothers might die at his hands. Every one of our brothers in the Golden Dragon Guards is extremely precious. We can't lose any of them.
"Previously, because of that remnant of the Heavenly Court, I lost some brothers. It must not happen again!"
"After dealing with Mu Zhixing, I will dig out that remnant of the Heavenly Court and offer him as a sacrifice to the spirits of my brothers in heaven!"
As Zhan Jingtao spoke, boundless killing intent erupted from his body.
Then he took out a saber that was almost as tall as a person. The ancient saber had a blood-red edge.
As soon as the saber appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped by a few degrees.
"Wonderful saber!" Zhou Shu couldn't help saying.
He was a little puzzled. This saber wasn't a dharma treasure of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom but a genuine connate divine weapon!
Dharma treasures and connate divine weapons were almost identical in appearance. To most people, they were just weapons.
But Zhou Shu's forging skills had already reached the pinnacle. In addition, he had obtained Wu Suchen's refining insights, so he was very familiar with the refining methods of dharma treasures.
Whether a weapon was a dharma treasure or a connate divine weapon, it was impossible to hide from him.
This was very strange. Zhan Jingtao was the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. The weapons of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were all dharma treasures.
But he actually used a connate divine weapon. Where did this connate divine weapon come from?
"Good taste!" Zhan Jingtao turned to look at Zhou Shu. "This Nine Heavens Thunder Saber is a peerless divine weapon bestowed to me by the Black Emperor. Its power is invincible!"
Nine Heavens Thunder Saber?
Then Zhou Shu heard Zhan Jingtao say, "The Nine Heavens Thunder Saber was the intrinsic weapon of the Lightning God of the Heavenly Court back then. Ever since I obtained it, no one has been able to withstand my nine saber moves. I want to see how many saber moves this Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom person can withstand!"
As Zhan Jingtao spoke, he took a step forward.
As he took a step forward, he slashed with the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber.
Swish!
Wherever the blade passed, the heavy water automatically parted, as if dodging the blade.
But with this step, Zhan Jingtao overcame the distance of space and appeared in front of Mu Zhixing, who was a hundred kilometers away.
Zhou Shu was surprised. Is he a true Nomological realm expert?n)(OvelBIn
Through the light screen left behind by Zhou Jingtao, Zhou Shu could see the scene a hundred kilometers away. Just this move alone made Zhou Shu know that he couldn't do it.
Zhan Jingtao was indeed at the true Nomological realm. His cultivation was a level higher than the Grotto-Heaven Master realm!
Just as the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber descended, a mirror suddenly appeared above Mu Zhixing's head.
The mirror emitted a dazzling light and barely blocked the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber.
Crack!
Lightning flashed, and Nine Heavens Thunder Saber shattered the mirror. Mu Zhixing instantly retreated hundreds of meters away.
He looked at the broken mirror with heartache and glared at Zhan Jingtao. "Our grudges are deep. Even if the Golden Dragon Guards go bankrupt, you can't afford to compensate me for my loss!"
Mu Zhixing gritted his teeth. "Just you wait. I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Zhan Jingtao said coldly, "Wait? You better use whatever ability you have. Otherwise, you won't get a chance to."
He raised the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber and slashed down again.
Under the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, waves of heavy water surged. Coupled with the violent lightning-like saber beam, it was as if the world was about to be destroyed.
Mu Zhixing's expression changed, and his eyes flashed with heartache.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and a green flag appeared in his hand.
The flag swelled with the wind and instantly became several meters tall, enveloping Mu Zhixing.
Boom!
The Nine Heavens Thunder Saber landed on the flag. The flag suddenly caved in and then bounced back up.
The attack of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber actually failed to break the flag.
The huge force sent Mu Zhixing and the flag flying hundreds of meters away.
Zhan Jingtao's expression turned a little ugly.
This was his second strike. Mu Zhixing, who didn't seem to have much strength, was actually able to withstand two strikes from him.
"I want to see how many dharma treasures you have to block my saber!" Zhan Jingtao shouted and struck out with the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber again.
"F*ck your ancestors!" Mu Zhixing roared. With a whoosh, the flag unfolded into a wall and blocked in front of him.
A hundred kilometers away, Zhou Shu, who saw all of this through the light screen, thought, Mu Zhixing, you have guts.
Facing a peerless expert, he could actually curse. He was really not an ordinary person.
Zhou Shu snorted. Hmph, you clearly have such strength, but you lost to me when we first met. You even sold yourself as a slave. Mu Zhixing, for the sake of the Freedom Transformation Technique, you're really unscrupulous.
He had long known that Mu Zhixing was hiding his strength, but he was still a little surprised to see him struggling under Zhan Jingtao.
Zhan Jingtao was the strongest person Zhou Shu had ever seen. Even Cao Chenyang, whom a wisp of the Black Emperor's soul had possessed, was no match for Zhan Jingtao.
To be honest, even Zhou Shu was not Zhan Jingtao's match.
But Mu Zhixing had already withstood seven of Zhan Jingtao's saber strikes!
Although he had also paid the price of several divine weapons, this achievement had already surprised Zhan Jingtao.
Zhan Jingtao was not bragging. Ever since he obtained the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, no one had been able to withstand nine strikes from him.
Now, an unknown Mu Zhixing had already withstood seven strikes from him. Moreover, it seemed that it wouldn't be a problem for him to take two more strikes.
This made Zhan Jingtao's expression turn even uglier. "So what if you have many dharma treasures? I, Zhan Jingtao, can destroy them with one strike."
He shouted, "Take another strike from me!"
The Nine Heavens Thunder Saber suddenly seemed to disappear. In front of Mu Zhixing, he saw a bolt of lightning that seemed to have been born from the birth of heaven and earth. The lightning passed through space and time and was about to land on Mu Zhixing.
Zhou Shu's eyes flickered as he began to deduce. If he were Mu Zhixing, how would he deal with Zhan Jingtao?
He shook his head. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have any good solutions. He could only risk getting injured and take a move head-on.
At this moment, a green leaf flew out from Mu Zhixing's body!
