Zhuge Xiang's Sword Dao (Part 3)

A sharp Sword Qi shot out. With Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level, the Night Emblem, and a luxurious set of equipment, especially the Six-Star Treasure Artifact Formless Ring on his finger, Zhuge Xiang's attack power was still a notch stronger than the Great Elder of the Azure Sword Sect Third Layer of Spell Control Stage.

The Sword of Judgment, a weapon-type Treasure Artifact, only increases attack power by 2200, but the Formless Ring, a Six-Star Treasure Artifact, increases attack power by a full 3700, greatly boosting Zhuge Xiang's strength.

Bang!

Even at Sword Qi peak, the Great Elder of the Azure Sword Sect might not have been a match for Zhuge Xiang, but now, Weakened State by the soul-shaking King's Aura, how could he possibly be a match for Zhuge Xiang? Zhuge Xiang's fierce Sword Qi undoubtedly sent the Great Elder flying.

"So powerful..." Seeing Zhuge Xiang's fierce Sword Qi, Liu Rufang, who herself came from Sword Dao- cultivation sect, could naturally feel the power contained in the Sword Qi. She stared at Zhuge Xiang in shock. With such Sword Dao cultivation, he must be a genius in Sword Dao cultivation. How could he be a member of the Beast Taming Sect? There was absolutely no one in the Sect Beast Taming Sect who could release such fierce Sword Qi.

"Now, this is a matter of life and death for our Azure Sword Sect. We must unite as one to overcome this calamity. Quickly take control of the Warships and blast this fiend to pieces..." The power of a single sword strike had already horrified the Azure Sword Sect's Great Elder. Knowing he was no match for Zhuge Xiang, he raised his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy transformed into a giant palm, grabbing several highly skilled disciples from the Azure Sword Sect and throwing them into the Warships.

"Yes, Great Elder!" The disciple, who had rolled over like a gourd, quickly got up and shouted respectfully.

Although Liu Rufang was the Sect Master of the Azure Sword Sect, she was still relatively inexperienced. The Great Elder, on the other hand, had cultivated for over a hundred years within the Azure Sword Sect, and in terms of prestige, he was superior to Liu Rufang. Furthermore, before Liu Rufang and her group arrived, the Great Elder had already either murdered or shut down all of Liu Rufang's confidants. Therefore, upon his command, the Azure Sword Sect disciples acted without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmph, old man, you think you have helpers?" Seeing that the three Warships were now combat-ready again, Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly.

The King's Aura is difficult for Zhuge Xiang to sustain. He can only use it once or twice a day at most. Although he can no longer use the soul-shaking King's Aura to stun those Cultivators, Zhuge Xiang's methods are not limited to that.

"Xiao Yue, it's up to you now..." Opening the Pet Interface, Xiao Yue was summoned and roared to the sky. After these days of fighting, Xiao Yue's cultivation level was about to break through to the Middle Grade One-Star Fairy.

"Really? Can we eat those Warships?" Xiao Yue asked, her eyes shining as she stared at the three Warships.

"It's up to you," Zhuge Xiang said calmly, his attention focused on the Great Elder.

"Haha, good..." Upon receiving Zhuge Xiang's reply, Xiao Yue was overjoyed. With gusts of demonic wind, she rushed towards the Warships. The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger had also recovered its strength One-Star Mid-Grade Fairy.

"..." Looking at the battle before her, Liu Rufang felt conflicted. She couldn't bear to lay a hand on the disciples of the Azure Sword Sect. In Liu Rufang's view, the Great Elder's actions were out of consideration for the Azure Sword Sect and were not inherently wrong.

Boom boom boom...

The three Warships unleashed beams of light comparable to Spell attacks. Although Phoenix Winged Black Tiger and Xiao Yue were powerful, they were still at a disadvantage in a two-on-three battle.

"Sect Master Liu, why aren't you making a move? What are you waiting for?" Seeing that Xiao Yue and Phoenix Winged Black Tiger were being suppressed by the three Asura Warships, Zhuge Xiang called out to Liu Rufang.

Whose business is this Azure Sword Sect rebellion? She, as one of the parties involved, actually stood by and did nothing, while he himself went out of his way to help. No wonder Zhuge Xiang was unhappy.

"Young Master Zhuge, the Great Elder is the most respected person in our Azure Sword Sect. His starting point is also for the benefit of our Azure Sword Sect. We can sit down and talk things through," Liu Rufang said, knowing that Zhuge Xiang would be unhappy. Even though she was naturally cold, Liu Rufang found it difficult to remain calm about this issue.

"You..." Hearing Liu Rufang's words, Zhuge Xiang was truly at a loss for words. He didn't know whether to laugh at Liu Rufang's naivety or to marvel at the Great Elder's acting skills. Even now, after successfully seizing power and even preparing to kill them, Liu Rufang still trusted him.

"Well, it seems that if I don't show her something real, she will still be fooled by this old guy." Shaking his head, Zhuge Xiang felt helpless. Then, after a sharp Sword Qi forced the Great Elder back, he raised his hand high to the sky.

The Thunderclap, seemingly drawn by an inexplicable force, converged in Zhuge Xiang's palm.

Palm Thunder! The ultimate Palm Thunder, unleashed by Zhuge Xiang with his current power comparable to the Spell Control Stage, how powerful is it? The destructive force of the rolling Thunderclap Human Heart. Liu Rufang stared in horror at the Lightning in Zhuge Xiang's hand. This power is even three points stronger than the Vast Sword Qi just now.

"No! Young Master Zhuge..." A single Vast Sword Qi had already severely injured the Great Elder. Now, with this terrifying Palm Thunder, the Great Elder was in dire straits. Knowing that the Great Elder's cultivation was far from sufficient to withstand this Palm Thunder strike, Liu Rufang cried out in alarm.

"You old bastard, die!" Ignoring Liu Rufang's shouts, he slammed the Palm Thunder in his hand down fiercely towards the Great Elder. The terrifying and violent Lightning was filled with a destructive aura. This terrifying Lightning made all 36,000 hairs on the Great Elder's head stand on end. He felt an intense sense of crisis; it was a threat to his life...

The saying goes that the older one gets, the more afraid of death one becomes. Sensing that Zhuge Xiang's move was entirely aimed at killing him, the Great Elder was horrified, and a blood-red aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Scarlet power enveloped the area, and within the Qi Energy, one could almost see pairs of sinister eyes, appearing and disappearing. Being stared at by those sinister eyes actually made one feel dizzy.

"Blood Eye Secret Technique Demon!?" Seeing the strange change in the Great Elder, Liu Rufang's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Rufang was naturally familiar with the Blood Eye Secret Technique, a closely guarded secret of the Azure Sword Sect. Once mastered, it not only unleashed unimaginable power, but the Blood Eye Secret Technique also possessed the ability to bewitch opponents. By taking advantage of the opponent's Blood Eye Secret Technique state, one could unleash the Azure Sword Sect's powerful attacks, the devastating force of which was self-evident.

However, Liu Rufang was not qualified to cultivate the Blood Eye Secret Technique, not because of her status, but because of her cultivation level. It was rumored that the Blood Eye Secret Technique required at least the Third Layer of Spell Control Stage and a thorough understanding of the Spell in the Heaven and Earth to even begin to learn it. But seeing that the Great Elder had already learned it, could it be that his cultivation level had already reached the Third Layer of Spell Control Stage?

Now, Liu Rufang's heart sank. Although she had fought with Zhuge Xiang and felt that the Great Elder was stronger than usual, Liu Rufang hadn't thought about it too much. But now that she knew that the Great Elder's cultivation had already reached the Third Layer of Spell Control Stage, Liu Rufang naturally understood a lot more.

Indeed, the Azure Sword Sect only has two Nascent Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator, but the strongest Great Strength Tiger King of the Beast Taming Sect is only at the first level of the Spell Control Stage Realm.

On the day he was kidnapped by the Great Strength Tiger King and others from the Beast Taming Sect, if the Great Elder had unleashed his cultivation at the Third Layer of Spell Control Stage, along with his Blood Eye Secret Technique, he might have been able to turn the tide. However, he didn't even make a move; he merely used his Spell Control Stage cultivation to restrain two Cultivators at the Divine Ability Stage...

"Did you see that? This guy has been hiding his strength all along. Do you still think everything he did was for the sake of the Azure Sword Sect? What could be more disgraceful for the sect than having your Sect Master kidnapped?" Seeing the Great Elder unleash his powerful strength and even block his Palm Thunder, Zhuge Xiang spoke to Liu Rufang.

"Great Elder, what explanation do you have?" With heartache in her eyes, Liu Rufang stared intently at the Great Elder and questioned him sharply.

"Boy, stop spreading these heretical rumors! Die!" The Great Elder, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water, stared coldly at Zhuge Xiang and shouted sternly.

A crimson Qi Energy, as sharp as blood, suddenly opened a blood-red eye the size of a fist. The pupil stared intently at Zhuge Xiang, causing him to stiffen as if bound by invisible ropes, unable to move.

"All disciples, stop right now!" At this point, how could Liu Rufang not understand? Holding a golden Short Sword in her hand, she unleashed her Seventh Layer of Divine Ability Stage cultivation and pounced towards one of the Warships.

With Liu Rufang joining the fight, the pressure on Xiao Yue and Phoenix Winged Black Tiger was greatly reduced. In a three-on-three situation, there was naturally nothing to worry about. Seeing that the crisis for Xiao Yue and Phoenix Winged Black Tiger was over, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer needed to worry about that side and focused all his attention on the Great Elder in front of him...

Zhuge Xiang has always had the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels. Today, Zhuge Xiang is only half a step away from entering the Spell Control Stage. How could he possibly lose to the Great Elder who is at the Third Layer of Spell Control Stage? Although the Great Elder's cultivation is not low, according to the information fed back by the Data Eye, he is just an ordinary monster with a white name, not even Elite target.

"Alright, now it's general against general, soldier against soldier, a duel between the two of us, no one will disturb us..." The effect of the Blood Drinking True King Chain activated, removing the binding effect of the blood-red eyes on him. Zhuge Xiang's aura surged forth, his full Sword Intent pressing down.

"I'll kill you! Let's see how you continue to spread your heresies!" the Great Elder said righteously, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Still acting? I must say, your acting skills are truly ingrained. However, I must remind you that in the face of absolute power, your little tricks are utterly futile..." Zhuge Xiang sneered at the Great Elder's words. (To be continued...)
