The Formidable Zhuge Xiang (Part Two) Ah!!! At the Sight of the Immense Sword Qi, Like a Pillar Holding Up Heaven, True Person Scarlet Blood's Hair

P. S.: While I was writing this last night, a friend brought his computer over and asked me to fix it for him, which is why this chapter is half an hour late. Sorry!

Ah!!!

Looking at the enormous sword Sword Qi, which seemed like a pillar of heaven, True Person Scarlet Blood felt his hair stand on end. An unprecedented sense of crisis made him clearly smell the breath of death.

For Cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm to make him feel the threat of death was something that would have been absolutely unbelievable to True Person Scarlet Blood in the past. Yet, Zhuge Xiang had managed to do it. This enormous pillar of Vast Sword Qi contained a terrifying aura of destruction.

"You want to kill me!? How could I let you have your way!?" Although the enormous pillar of Vast Sword Qi made True Person Scarlet Blood feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, surrendering and waiting for death was not in True Person Scarlet Blood's nature.

Enraged, he gripped his Dharma Sword tightly, and the inner Qi Energy of the True Person Scarlet Blood surged and poured into the sword. At the same time, an incomparably powerful Sword Qi erupted from the True Person Scarlet Blood. Facing Zhuge Xiang's attack, he was clearly going to use his ultimate move to defend against it.

After all, he was Seventh Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm. Although his Vast Sword Qi was stronger than ever before, Zhuge Xiang still did not dare to hope that he could kill his opponent with just one sword. Seeing this, the aura on Zhuge Xiang suddenly changed, becoming holy and bright. Waves of Buddhist Power emanated from his body, and he exhaled and made sounds, and Zen Sound came out from Zhuge Xiang's mouth.

First came the immense, Vast Sword Qi attack, while simultaneously suppressing the opponent's strength with Sword Intent. Finally, the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound was used to counter the opponent's demonic Qi Energy. In order to deal with this True Person Scarlet Blood at the Seventh Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, Zhuge Xiang had already used all his means.

The Heavenly Demon Zen Sound caused True Person Scarlet Blood to scream in agony. Each Zen Sound, imbued with incredibly dense Sacred Buddhist Power, rapidly dissolved the Qi Energy within his body, while his cultivation level plummeted...

The Heavenly Demon Zen Sound's restraint caused the energy that True Man Crimson Blood had just gathered to dissipate in an instant. At the same time, the enormous pillar of sword energy from Zhuge Xiang's Haoran Sword Qi pressed down heavily on him.

A bloodcurdling scream erupted from True Person Scarlet Blood's mouth as an immense sword Sword Qi engulfed him. The terrifying explosion shook the earth, sending dust billowing into the sky. No one could see the final outcome...

His gaze sharpened slightly, but he hadn't heard the system notification that he had gained experience. Zhuge Xiang unleashed his Explosive Steps, activating his Qi Energy Bodyguard. He transformed into a streak of Sword Light and charged directly into the very center of the billowing dust...

Su Huayu clenched her hands tightly, her eyes filled with tension. The strength that Zhuge Xiang displayed completely shocked Su Huayu. This guy was simply a Return to Simplicity Realm expert wearing the outer robe of the Void Splitting Realm.

Young Master Yin's handsome face also showed astonishment. The power of the Vast Sword Qi was indeed Human Heart, but Zhuge Xiang's Heavenly Demon Zen Sound just now was even more unbelievable. How could a disciple of a Demonic Sect utter pure and bright Zen Sound? How could he unleash Sacred Buddhist Art?

The Old Man Dragonwood looked extremely grim. The strength Zhuge Xiang had displayed made him uncertain whether he could snatch the Heavenly Heart Begonia. However, the Heavenly Heart Begonia was right here. He had been trapped in the Return to Simplicity Realm for ten years without any sign of breaking through. If he waited any longer, he wouldn't have much time left. No matter what, he had to get his hands on this Heavenly Heart Begonia.

Having made up his mind, and without even looking at the outcome of the battle between Zhuge Xiang and the True Person Scarlet Blood, the Old Man Dragonwood turned his eyes and stared directly at one of the Twin Heroes of Lingnan, whose eyes were also darting around as if trying to escape.

With a swift movement, the Old Man Dragonwood appeared silently before the Twin Heroes of Lingnan, his wrinkled hand outstretched, grabbing at them as he shouted, "Hand over the Heavenly Heart Begonia! Otherwise, I'll tear you apart alive!"

"You old scoundrel, how dare you!" Seeing that the Old Man Dragonwood was forcibly Seize the Heavenly Heart Begonia at this opportunity, Young Master Yin's pretty face was filled with murderous intent. She flicked her folding fan, which spun like Flying Dagger and slashed towards the Old Man Dragonwood's palm. At the same time, the two old servants beside Young Master Yin also attacked from both sides.

"Great Vajra Palm!" With a fierce shout, the Old Man Dragonwood was slashing at Young Master Yin.

Suddenly, the Old Man Dragonwood's palm turned a golden color, like metal. Although the Yin Young Master Yin's folding fan had Qi Energy, it actually produced a Metal clang when it struck the Old Man Dragonwood's golden palm. The Great Vajra Palm had left the Old Man Dragonwood's palm completely unharmed.

"You old bastard, I'll take you down with me!" The Twin Heroes of Lingnan clearly understood that their time was up, and with their second brother killed by the Old Man Dragonwood's Blowgun, they were filled with malice and dared not dodge or evade the Great Vajra Palm that the Old Man Dragonwood was about to strike.

The Twin Heroes of Lingnan, looking like madmen, shouted fiercely. As they spoke, the Qi Energy within their bodies fluctuated irregularly, carrying bursts of violent aura.

"Damn it! Self-Detonation!" Sensing the irregular Qi Energy fluctuations emanating from the Twin Heroes of Lingnan, Young Master Yin's expression changed drastically. He caught the folding fan that was spinning back and retreated rapidly. The two old servants beside him each unleashed a palm strike and a fist strike, retreating with Young Master Yin.

The Old Man Dragonwood's expression also changed drastically. Although the cultivation of the Twin Heroes of Lingnan was only at the Third Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm, if they Self-Detonation, even if he were to take the attack head-on, he would still have a slim chance of survival.

Although he was willing to Seize the Heavenly Heart Begonia, he realized that if the opponent Self-Detonation- destructed, he would still have a chance. There was no need to risk his life now. The Old Man Dragonwood's mind raced, and he shouted sharply, "Indestructible Vajra Body!"

The Advanced Martial Art of the Great Vajra Palm, Indestructible Vajra Body, was suddenly revealed. The golden light emanating from Old Man Dragonwood's hands rose, instantly covering his entire body. Unable to directly withstand the Self-Detonation of Cultivator at the Return to Simplicity Realm, Old Man Dragonwood also retreated. However, determined to perish with him, the Twin Heroes of Lingnan pounced on him...

At the critical moment when the entire army was about to attack, a figure flashed by like lightning—it was Zhuge Xiang!

Amidst the dust of the explosion, Zhuge Xiang slew the exhausted True Person Scarlet Blood. Seeing the Twin Heroes of Lingnan Self-Detonation and take several Explosive Steps, Zhuge Xiang not only did not retreat but instead went to meet them.

"This guy! Is he looking for death?!" As they watched Zhuge Xiang's shadow rush past, Old Man Dragonwood and Young Master Yin widened their eyes. Although he was fast, his Self-Detonation happened in the blink of an eye. Even if he obtained the Heavenly Heart Begonia, he wouldn't have time to escape.

"No!" Su Huayu cried out, her face pale as she watched Zhuge Xiang rush towards him without hesitation.

With a flash of the Slaughter Blade, Zhuge Xiang directly severed the hands of the Twin Heroes of Lingnan were holding the Storage Ring containing the Heavenly Heart Begonia, and grabbed them in his own hand.

However, before Zhuge Xiang could use his Explosive Steps to leave, the Twin Heroes of Lingnan, who were right next to him, had already swelled to their maximum size and suddenly exploded, making a tremendous explosion.

The Self-Detonation of the Cultivator at the Return to Simplicity Realm unleashed a powerful shockwave, its destructive force rivaling that of Spell. The earth trembled violently, and within a radius of Hundred Zhang, all houses were razed to the ground. A mushroom cloud rose into the darkness of Rakshasa City...

The Self-Detonation of this Cultivator at the Return to Simplicity Realm alarmed most of Rakshasa City. In the City Lord's Main Hall, the Rakshasa City Lord leaped to the top of the Great Hall, looked in the direction of the explosion, and then lightly tapped his Lotus Steps, firing in that direction. Behind the Rakshasa City Lord were several Innate Realm Asura Sect Inner Sect Squad Leader of the Asura Sect at the seventh or eighth level of the Innate Realm.

The terrifying shockwave altered the terrain within Hundred Zhang radius, as if it had been plowed over. When Su Huayu looked up, she was horrified to see a crater about forty or fifty meters in diameter and ten meters deep at the center of the explosion. The Self-Detonation of Cultivator at the Third Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm was terrifyingly powerful.

"Zhuge Xiang!!!" Su Huayu shouted sharply, staring at the crater left by the explosion. With such terrifying power, who could survive?

"Cough cough cough..." Although the Old Man Dragonwood had Indestructible Vajra Body, the Self-Detonation at close range still seriously injured him. He coughed a few times and even coughed up blood. However, the Old Man Dragonwood's eyes searched carefully. Zhuge Xiang was naturally killed by the explosion, but the Storage Ring was so small that it should not be so easily destroyed.

"Alas, a brilliant talent, all for a mere Heavenly Heart Begonia, it's truly not worth it," Young Master Yin Young Master Yin, his face pale, clearly seriously injured. He looked at the crater left by the Self-Detonation and shook his head with some regret.

Su Huayu, staggering and unsteady, ran to the edge of the sinkhole. Looking at the shattered bones and flesh within, indistinguishable from those of the Twin Heroes of Lingnan or Zhuge Xiang, she cried out, "Zhuge Xiang!!!"

After searching for a while, the Old Man Dragonwood found no Storage Ring. He then jumped into the sinkhole, coldly snorting, "Foolish fools! They dare to rush up after Cultivator in the Return to Simplicity Realm Self-Detonation."

Even with his Indestructible Vajra Body, Old Man Dragonwood was severely injured by the Self-Detonation of Cultivator at the Return to Simplicity Realm. How could Zhuge Xiang possibly survive?

Indeed! Zhuge Xiang is only at the Third Layer of Void Splitting Realm. Even with his Qi Energy Bodyguard and a set of magical Magic Artifact, he absolutely could not survive the Self-Detonation of Cultivator at the Return to Simplicity Realm. However, Zhuge Xiang is not the kind of person who would seek his own death.

After acquiring the Storage Ring containing the Heavenly Heart Begonia, Zhuge Xiang decisively tore open a scroll! The Clone Phantom Scroll!

At the critical moment, Zhuge Xiang's real body and shadow switched places instantly. With the Self-Detonation, Zhuge Xiang's shadow was torn to shreds, while his real body remained unharmed, hiding in the shadows.

"Ding! Quest 'Seize the Heavenly Heart Begonia' completed. Reward: Level *1, Ten-Star Magic Artifact Thorn Armor".

"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained, current cultivation level is the Fourth Layer of the Void Splitting Realm."

Hidden in the shadows, two consecutive system notifications rang in Zhuge Xiang's mind. (To be continued...)
