Weakness

"It was him?"

When Zhang Xuezhou was astonished, he not only assessed the distance between Qinmeng, a half-step ascendant, and himself, but he even guessed the other party's identity.

"Could he be Yu?"

Zhang Xuezhou had never seen Yu, but he had seen those white wings.

This is the last image left in the soul fire of the sorcerer Emma when her soul was scattered, and Huang Zhenyu believed that he had dueled with this sorcerer Emma.

"Emma's mental disorder is a symptom of mental confusion, but the one I fought is skilled in wind and ice. Ara also mentioned that Yu is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and Ara's fighting techniques were taught to him by Yu..."

Guessing identities is not very meaningful; regardless of whether the other person is Yu or someone else, it's unlikely to change either side's stance.

Especially now that the other side has begun its purge, the likelihood of them becoming adversaries is extremely high, and even if Huang and Yu are related, it won't make a difference.

However, this kind of speculation allows Zhang Xuezhou to understand the other party's capabilities, thus avoiding being at a loss when they encounter each other.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but frown, feeling that Qinmeng, this half-step ascendant, possessed complex strength, and the chances of winning in a direct confrontation were extremely slim.

"If he were Yu, and had an extremely good relationship with Huang, then he should have known that Huang was alive, and wouldn't have allowed Huang's soul to be imprisoned in the Soul Jade for so long!"

Zhang Xuezhou kept analyzing the colorful light that kept flying around in the Fortune Bead, and occasionally he would look at it to make judgments.

"He stopped at the Qinmeng and Aomeijia Alliance Strait. What made him stop?"

The image in the luck bead wasn't large, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to see every detail clearly, but he had no problem roughly discerning the terrain.

This Qinmeng half-step ascendant stopped his aerial pursuit across the strait and instead landed and ran.

The trees and jungle flashed by rapidly within the Qi Luck Bead, Zhang Xuezhou could no longer make out the other party's whereabouts.

This is like the Xuanming bestowing the fortune of the Golden Turtle to guide the manifestation of the Yellow Path Immortal; however, adding any other objects into it will make it difficult to distinguish.

Zhang Xuezhou stared at it for a while, but found it difficult to discern anything or determine the other party's whereabouts.

However, focusing on the other party presents a serious problem: if the Qi Luck Bead only captures the other party's recent records, that would be one thing, but if it coincides with the other party's timeline, it means that the time Zhang Xuezhou experiences in the Fortune Technique Space will be synchronized with real time.

Comparing the speed of flight and the distance of hundreds of miles from the Spider God Cave to the strait, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he might have been watching Qinmeng, this half-step ascendant, for two hours.

His weakness is probably his speed!

Whether it's running speed or leaping speed, this Qinmeng half-step ascendant is quite good, but this ability needs to be compared to the object of comparison.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the speed his opponent was currently displaying was not even as fast as his own when he used the Cloud Soaring Technique. This meant that Zhang Xuezhou, Huang Daoxian, Hu Yu, Hu Hao, and Qi Zhu all possessed speeds exceeding their opponents'. Even Nagesi and Zhou Rihui could engage in a speed battle with their opponents.

"Unfortunately, there's no way to start!"

Zhang Xuezhou was able to identify weaknesses, and he was also very clear about his opponent's strengths.

The opponent's domain is truly vast and possesses extremely powerful abilities. If one cannot withstand the dissolving domain, being suppressed by both the wind and the ice will be extremely fatal.

The fact that the opponent was able to escape safely from the explosion and collapse of the Spider God Cave means that they have extremely strong resilience and survivability.

Zhang Xuezhou really didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of opponent, after all, he wasn't good at striking.

"I wonder how Luo Tianming's research is going?"

If Zhang Xuezhou still had any expectations, Daojun's Innate Qi Technique would undoubtedly be his hope.

As the strongest Incantation Technique in the Three Realms, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Technique has undergone continuous improvement, and Zhang Xuezhou believes its potential is extremely high.

Moreover, this technique is suitable for using the weak against the strong, making it especially suitable for surprise attacks to achieve victory.

Zhang Xuezhou can't fight head-on, but he doesn't mind fighting from the side, and he doesn't care if the methods are underhanded. In this competition, winning and surviving are the only important things.

He stared at himself within the Luck Bead, then at the fleeting light and shadows created by the constant movement within another Luck Bead, as everything he sensed gradually faded away.

"Laozi not sick, Laozi don't want to see Gao Tingsheng!"

"Laozi waited this long, a little longer won't hurt. This little bit of blood won't kill anyone!"

Zhao Tianhua's mumbling came through, tinged with weakness.

Li Yingbo, who inherited the fortune of the Luofu Dynasty, was full of luck. Zhao Tianhua, who rashly intervened, obviously did not fare so well and wasted several hours of his time.

As the setting sun shone on him, Zhang Xuezhou immediately realized that everything in the Luck Bead was synchronized with reality and had guided him through the same amount of time.

The entire ritual lasted nearly four hours from beginning to end.

Zhang Xuezhou moved his hands and feet, and Luo Burang let out a soft sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

"How was it?" Luo Burang asked.

"Very good," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I think it's very good; there have been some unexpected gains!"

"The wonders of the world are truly captivating," Luo Burang sighed. "Only by leaping out of the well can we see the world clearly. I truly hope that we can continue to understand the myriad things of this world!"

You think the same way I do!

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

As Zhang Xuezhou grew up, his views also changed.

His wish was no different from Luo Burang's: to see the differences in many worlds and then seek to transform and give back to them.

This is not something Zhang Xuezhou can accomplish alone; Ren Anran has joined in.

If given the opportunity, Zhang Xuezhou very much hopes that more people will participate.

"Brother, I beg for Tuer God, I do not wish to see Gao Tingsheng!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tianhua's desperate plea for help, Zhang Xuezhou quickly lowered the Five Elements Fortune Flag in his hand.

Li Yingbo, who was in the center of the sacrificial ceremony, was pale and unsteady on his feet. After stumbling a few steps, he chose to sit down without any regard for his image.

"It's been going on for a while. Is Uncle Li about to give up?"

Those who can make a sound are generally fine; it's people like Li Yingbo, who have difficulty even speaking, who are likely to have bigger problems.

Zhang Xuezhou's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to take Li Yingbo's pulse directly from his wrist.

"I... I'm fine, I just had a prolonged hallucination," Li Yingbo gasped. "This hallucination felt like it was choking me, making it hard to breathe. I need to rest for a few minutes to recover!"

What kind of hallucination did you see?

After Zhang Xuezhou finished taking Li Yingbo's pulse, he released the Highest Clarity technique towards Li Yingbo, at which point Luo Burang asked in a slow voice.

"People, people keep dying," Li Yingbo said gravely. "Just like everything withers in winter, when the time comes, people die, and then I, too, slowly wait to die amidst my wails!"

"What kind of hallucination is this?" Luo Burang asked, frowning.

"I had experienced the rise and fall of dynasties, and I was able to overcome the emotions brought on by that illusion. I was even willing to draw my sword to seek justice and strive for self- Struggle," Li Yingbo said. "But later, I kept going around in circles in this illusion, unable to escape it no matter what I did, and powerless to break free from it, just like being hit by Old Ren's Dragon Elephant Combat Technique!"

Li Yingbo was quite stressed.

This is the feeling Zhang Xuezhou has had when facing difficulties many times before, and his current situation is no different; Zhang Xuezhou is finding it difficult to break out of this predicament.

When the person performing the ritual is depressed, the object of the ritual will experience even greater despair, potentially amplifying the effect many times over.

This might be the normal procedure for a sacrificial ceremony, since Zhang Xuezhou held numerous sacrificial ceremonies, and the circumstances did not conform to the records in the Fortune Technique.

In a normal Fortune Technique, a single sacrifice that disrupts an emperor's fortune is enough to make the victim wish they were dead, then lose their soul and everything. But in their case, both sides can benefit from the sacrifice.
