"You are mistaken if you think he needs my protection." Xie Zuzhou frowned in response to Sheng Ming. "Even without , he is capable of protecting himself from you, especially since he is the only heir to Long Hun. Besides, I am here not because I want to protect him, but I am here because I am one of his won."
Sheng Ming's confession caused Xie Zuzhou, Qi Wuhei, Zu Tian'er, and Shang Wuqing to fall dumbstruck.
Ling Yun appeared in front of Sheng Ming and the others. He was already in his colorful half-dragon form, with the chaos dragon broadsword in his grasp.
"Hmm?" Xie Zuzhou narrowed his eyes at Ling Yun. 'What happened? This brat possessed the sa devil aura as I do, and I have never encountered a creature like him before.'
"Heh." Ling Yun snorted slightly, pointed his broadsword at the ancient devil, and spoke to him. "Xie Zuzhou, right? I heard about your exploits in the upper realms, and I've been waiting a long ti to et you. Since you're here now, I want to test your power directly."
Xie Zuzhou's face darkened after hearing that, and he stretched his palm forward, creating a sizeable black ball. "Do you think you can act cocky in front of just because you are the sole heir of the primordial chaos dragon?"
"Just shut up and throw your weak ball to ." Ling Yun spoke in a challenging tone.
'This little bastard! Even Zhizun Buxiu dares not look down on !' Xie Zuzhou shot the black ball at him.
*Swoosh*
However, Xie Zuzhou and everyone in the air were shocked by Ling Yun's next move, especially since his aura, intent, and even existence disappeared completely, even though he was standing before their eyes.
"I have never used this technique before, and I will try it to break your technique." Ling Yun channeled his chaos dragon aura and void elent into his broadsword, and he spun it in slow motion. His actions left behind several sword shadows that appeared realistic. "Go and break it!"
Those sword shadows shot towards the black ball, which caused Xie Zuzhou to be shocked. They split the black ball into several pieces, which imdiately disappeared into nothingness. However, those sword shadows didn't stop there, and they shot towards the ancient devil, who imdiately tried to block them with several dark barriers.
Unfortunately, Xie Zuzhou's dark barriers shattered and disappeared as soon as Ling Yun's sword shadows touched them, forcing him to avoid them with an expression of shock.
Ling Yun's sword shadows suddenly changed trajectory and turned towards Xie Zuzhou, forcing the ancient devil to fly away as he shot several dark spears at them.
Just like before, Xie Zuzhou's attacks disappeared as soon as they collided with Ling Yun's sword shadows. 'What the fuck? How did he create these swords? Even though I'm only using my avatar, my strength should be enough to crush an ant like him, yet his attacks have in a bind.'
Qi Wuhei and Zu Tian'er, who were trapped inside Xu Yeshou's void prison, were also shocked to see Xie Zuzhou forced to escape Ling Yun's sword shadows.
Like them, Shang Wuqing's expression paled upon witnessing Xie Zuzhou's forced escape from Ling Yun's sword shadows, prompting him to frantically search for a way out. 'Shit! At this rate, I will die in their hands.'
Ling Yun smirked slightly as he watched Xie Zuzhou keep trying to destroy his sword shadows to no avail. He stretched his hand forward and wrote sothing in the air using his dark elent. "Chaos Sealing Rune."
In that instant, a black block appeared above Xie Zuzhou, and it pulled the ancient devil into it directly, sealing him inside.
Ling Yun then wrote sothing else. "Chaos Destruction Rune."
*Boom*
The black block exploded as soon as Ling Yun said that, but the result was different compared to when he fought the guardian in the ancient treasure pagoda, especially since Xie Zuzhou did not disappear. Despite this, the ancient devil's avatar looked like a ss, with so parts of his body disappearing.
"Gahh!" Xie Zuzhou scread in pain as soon as Ling Yun's sword shadows pierced through his avatar.
However, Ling Yun didn't stop there, and he already assud an attacking stance, with both hands gripping the hilt of his broadsword. He quickly swung it toward Xie Zuzhou with full strength. "Chaos Dragon Rend!"
*Swoosh*
A huge, colorful Qi quickly flew toward Xie Zuzhou at high speed, which caused many cracks to appear in the straight direction it passed. Unlike when he fought Jian Xian a few months ago, Ling Yun used his full strength to execute his technique, especially since the ancient devil was much more powerful.
*Crack... Crack...*
Xie Zuzhou panicked upon seeing the situation, realizing that using the technique would result in even more serious injuries for him. However, he could not let Qi Wuhei and Zu Tian'er fall into the hands of Ling Yun and the others, and he used his full strength to free them. "Devil Calamity Sword!"
Ling Yun frowned at the appearance of the giant dark sword from the sky, and it plunged towards Xu Yeshou's void prison. Sheng Ming moved to stop it, but his attack was several steps faster than hers, and it instantly destroyed the void prison.
*Splurt*
Xu Yeshou spurted quite a lot of blood from her mouth, and she never expected that Xie Zuzhou could destroy her void elent so easily. As the void spirit, Zhou Yu was also shocked to see that the ancient devil could do that, even though she couldn't feel the void elent from him.
Without wasting any ti, Qi Wuhei, Zu Tian'er, and Shang Wuqing utilized their escape techniques, sacrificing so of their essence in the process. The three of them instantly turned into blood and disappeared from the scene.
"Gahh!" On the other hand, Ling Yun's attack split Xie Zuzhou's avatar into two, and he slowly disappeared. "I will always rember today's shaful incident, and I will destroy you in the future!"
Ling Yun put on a gloomy look once Xie Zuzhou's avatar disappeared, especially since he failed to get Qi Wuhei and Zu Tian'er. "Damn it!"
"Ling Yun."
"No need." Ling Yun shook his head at Sheng Ming before giving so healing pills to Xu Yeshou. "None of us thought that Xie Zuzhou could destroy her void prison, even though he didn't have the void elent."
Sheng Ming nodded slightly. "Honestly, I was shocked to see that, and Xie Zuzhou has improved a lot compared to the past. No wonder Zhizun Buxiu didn't dare to directly move to confront him, especially since their fight would destroy this supre realm."
"How did you create those sword shadows before? How were they able to destroy Xie Zuzhou's attacks? How were you able to eliminate your aura, intent, and even existence?" Zhou Yu questioned Ling Yun.
"Do you rember the no-na book that Jian Xian got at the tower?" Zhou Yu nodded to Ling Yun. "As I said back then, the techniques in the book were related to the nothingness, and I've mastered them all now. I eliminated my aura, intent, and even existence using that principle. Regarding my sword shadows, I combined the void elent and chaos within them, resulting in what you just witnessed."
"Combining the void elent with chaos?"
Ling Yun nodded at them. "I can't explain it in words, especially since chaos is difficult to explain. The void can swallow everything, and the chaos can erase everything into nothingness, making the two a deadly combination. However, the technique is still imperfect, and all my clones are working on perfecting it."
"Your clones and the dream space are the two best of all your cheats."
"Haha." Ling Yun softly laughed at that. "The previous one was just Xie Zuzhou's avatar, and he wasn't at his full strength, so I could still fight him. The story would be different if he ca here with his real body and full strength, and I would die if I forced myself to fight him."
Sheng Ming nodded in agreent with that. "Xie Zuzhou may not be as immortal as I am, but we should not underestimate his true strength. Even I would not necessarily win if I had to face his real body and full strength, so we must be more careful in the future."
"Yeah." Ling Yun looked toward the mountain peak. "After Ling Ling rges with the Yin Dragon, we will enter seclusion imdiately, and we will not co out for several years."
"I think that's the best choice for now." Sheng Ming then turned to Di Yuantian and the others, who were flying towards them. "Do you want to et them?"
Ling Yun montarily raised an eyebrow before nodding. "Let's et them first."
In a few minutes, those cultivators had already arrived in front of them, but they were caught off guard by Sheng Ming's presence.
Tian Jianshen imdiately cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Sheng Ming. "Are you the senior I t when I was young?"
"I am." Sheng Ming replied with a nod. "Back then, you were so young, but you were already a formidable cultivator; even your cultivation had reached my level."
"Senior, I wouldn't have been able to reach this level if it weren't for the pointers you gave in the past, so I am truly grateful to you." Tian Jianshen froze when a small hand touched his shoulder.
"Do you recognize , Little Jianshen?"
