Lu Zhou’s sword pierced Teng She’s body, enraging it. Although it was a Saint slayer, it had lost one of its hearts to the sword. At this time, its body began to glow with a red light. Subsequently, the wind began to stir and the clouds began to roil.

The mountains of the earth could not withstand the pressure, and their peaks collapsed. Countless towering trees fell.

The fierce beasts were like ants in front of Teng She. Some of them could not flee in time and were killed by Teng She, dying a horrible death.

Lu Zhou put his sword away and used his grand technique to dodge the attacks.

Shang Zhang took advantage of the situation and flew to the top of Teng She. He said in a low voice, “Vile creature, I’m going to take your life!”

Boom!

A towering avatar descended from the sky. Its lotus smashed heavily on Teng She’s body. It was heavily injured and was sent flying back, unable to enter the Thousand Serenities Tower.

“Be careful. Now that it’s cornered, it’s going to fight to the death.” Shang Zhang said.

Lu Zhou controlled Unnamed after it shot out of his hand.

‘Dao gives birth to one; one gives birth to two; two give birth to three; three give birth to all things. All things have Yin and Yang, giving birth to harmonious qi’.

A sky full of energy swords appeared and swept toward Teng She like a tidal wave.

Currently, Lu Zhou’s divine power was almost inexhaustible. With this, his energy swords had naturally grown even more powerful. Each energy sword flashed with blue electric arcs.

Shang Zhang was not blind. He was shocked when he saw the faint blue electric arcs. “The power of the earth?”

Shang Zhang was even more convinced that Lu Zhou had a fortuitous encounter while he was in the abyss. He thought this was the reason he could not sense Lu Zhou’s depths. Apart from the power of the earth, he could sense a hint of murderous energy as well. Although he could sense that it was dangerous, he could not sense what it was exactly. It was like the laws from the power of the Dao, but it was also like the power of the earth.

Shang Zhang said, filled with praise, “I didn’t expect old sir’s method to be so shocking!”

Lu Zhou continued to control Unnamed.

Buzz!

“Hm? Divine Dao power?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. He had sensed changes in the divine power again.

The energy swords grew even stronger. Under Lu Zhou’s precise control, they stabbed Teng She’s wounds.

As the battle continued, Shang Zhang watched from the side. When he saw the scene before him, he found it slightly familiar, but he could not figure out why. After a moment, he said, “Teng She’s regenerative ability is very powerful. Usually, it can heal its wounds in an instant. However, the power of the earth is very effective against it.”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as it looked as though the energy swords were about to deal the killing blow on Teng She, Teng She suddenly shot up into the air.

Boom!

It snaked higher and higher up into the sky before it suddenly bared its fangs and spewed out a rain of blood.

Blood, bright red like flames, rained down.

Shang Zhang cried out, “Dodge.”

Swoosh!

Shang Zhang disappeared and reappeared about 10,000 yards away. With his eyesight, he could still easily see what was going on up ahead. He discovered that Lu Zhou did not leave. Instead, Lu Zhou was looking up at the sky. He frowned slightly and said through voice transmission, “Old sir, Teng She’s blood essence is poisonous. It’s best to avoid it.”

“Don’t worry.”

When the blood rain fell and was about to touch Lu Zhou, it suddenly fell to the sides, avoiding him before evaporating.

“Hm?” Shang Zhang furrowed his eyebrows. He raised his hand and imbued his eyes with Primal Qi to have a better look.

At this moment, Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and did not use any Primal Qi to block the rain of blood.

Shang Zhang was surprised and puzzled. “How did he do it?”

Even Shang Zhang had to use powerful protective energy to block Teng She’s blood essence. It was very corrosive, and its power was not much weaker than the power of the Great Dao. This was one of Teng She’s trump cards. The best way to deal with it was to temporarily avoid it. He did not understand what Lu Zhou was doing. He took a closer look again and saw Lu Zhou’s robe fluttering in the air.

“His robe?” Shang Zhang wanted to have a better look at it, but he was too far to properly examine it. Moreover, the rain of blood also obscured his vision slightly. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. Nonetheless, he still saw the robe flash with light.

At this moment, the people from Shang Zhang Hall rushed over. When they saw Shang Zhang, who now had the appearance of a young attendant, one of them said, “Little friend, please stay away.”

“It’s very dangerous here.”

“…”

Shang Zhang stood with his hands on his back and turned to glare at the cultivators from Shang Zhang Hall.

The leader of the cultivators thought the person’s arrogant posture was rather interesting. He said with a smile, “That’s a Saint slayer. Do you want to die?”

“Impudent!”

“Oh, you have such a bad temper!”

“Little friend, do you know us? We’re here under the orders of Emperor Shang Zhang to help Xuanyi Palace kill the Saint slayer. Please don’t obstruct our duty.”

“???”

Shang Zhang said solemnly, “You are all blind.”

These four words stung the nerves of the cultivators of Shang Zhang Hall. They were just about to act when Xuanyi led his people over.

Xuanyi flew over and looked at Teng She that was flying back and forth in the sky, spewing a torrential rain of blood.

The leader stepped forward at this time and said, “Emperor Xuanyi, we’re here under His Majesty’s order to help Xuanyi Palace.”

Xuanyi nodded. “Thank you for your help.”

The leader glanced at Shang Zhang before he said, “As expected of Emperor Xuanyi. Your grace and vision aren’t something ordinary people can compare to.”
