Liezhizi was supposed to be no so miserable, although he didn't practice the Eight-Nine Mystic Power like Yang Xie did, he had a very high level of refining his body himself, which was typical of the double cultivation of law and body in Xuanmen. There were many Xuanmen immortals in the same range, such as Deng Chan Yu and Yu Dingzhen.
Liezhizi was slain in less than ten moves. Other than insufficient preparation and being overconfident, the main reason for his defeat was the power of Tuo Wushuang Sword.
This sword is almost invincible in its ability to inflict damage on various body refining and defense techniques. The higher the defensive force, the stronger the killing effect of Tuo Wushuang Sword. Even if Liezhizi is just supplementary body refining, even if Yang Xie is brought back from Meishan in a surprise attack, he would still be slain by Zhu Wang.
When the Eight-Nine Mystic Power is cultivated to its peak, it is only on par with the level of the great shamans of ancient times. The original purpose of crafting Tuo Wushuang Sword was to slay the ancestors of all shaman. The great shamans are nothing here.
Zong Wang is not Di Jun, and he cannot fully unleash the power of this sword. However, with the addition of his own top-tier martial arts and the part of his fortune that comes with being king, he was still able to successfully kill the number two expert among Zhou's army, Liezhizi.
The heart of Taiyi Zhenren in Bixiu Palace stirred, his fingers calculated twice, and he sighed inwardly.
He has escaped from the peril, but at the cost of Liezhizi being listed.
According to common sense, their teacher and disciples should be able to pass smoothly. But why would someone have to die here in the final battle? Fate is something that humans cannot control. But you, Liezhizi, are an Xian! In the original timeline, Deng Changyu and Huang Fei Hu were killed in Yanmen Pool. That was truly unlucky. But Yanmen Pool is still far from the capital city of Zhaogong, where the final battle will take place.
Liezhizi's death in Luoyi has caused Taiyi Zhenren to be deeply affected. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such an event to occur. The reason behind this is that the qi and fate of Qingwei school on his body have been consumed by Taishijun in Chaos. Explanation is explained by Xuanjiao. They gain fragments of creation jade tablet, while he loses his disciple, one sip one taste, all are the will of heaven.
Taiyi Zhenren hasn't reached the point of crying in despair for his disciple, but he is not unaffected by it either.
Taiyi Zhenren has no more interest in listening to the instructions. Without making a sound, he quietly stands up, doesn't disturb any of his disciples, and walks out of Bixiu Palace.
His actions are not out of the ordinary. For most of the immortals in the Grand Celestial, Taiyi Zhenren's teachings are akin to celestial scriptures that they are nine-tenths unable to comprehend. Hearing too much only creates mental barriers and does no good. For many immortals, leaving is their only choice.
He rides on the clouds to leave Jintao Island, preparing to go to the battlefield to collect Liezhizi's body. If the body cannot be found, find some weapons and clothes, and build a tomb with his clothes and hat, which would still count as a teacher-student relationship.
Zong Wang killed Liezhizi and then caused a wave of blood and thunder within Zhou's camp.
The horse hooves trampled the ground, and countless Zhou troops lay dead in the blood. Those killed directly by Tuo Wushuang Sword turned into blood and were absorbed by the sword, turning into nourishment before going on to slaughter more humans.
Ji Chang's fifth son, Guan Shu Xian and Cai Shu Du, the younger brother of Ji Dan, were in such a state of panic that they did not know which way to turn. They happened upon the ferocious Zhou Wang, and had no time to react before being decapitated by a single sword. Their true spirits flew towards the Fortunate God Platform.
More than a dozen generals of Zhou's army shouted together and came to fight Zhou Wang with various weapons, but were instantly defeated.
"A monster is this Shang King? See that I capture him!" A Xian from Jie school with white beard and hair, holding a pair of swords, descended from the sky. He looked young and energetic with a rosy complexion and an aura of immortality. Unfortunately, he was killed by Tuo Wushuang Sword after only two moves.
"Wang brother?! It's painful for me as well. You daring mortal, how dare you show such cruelty! Watch as I avenge my brother!"
Jie school immortals who went up, one died, and one died; two who went up, two died.
Under normal circumstances, the immortals from Xuanjiao would surely flee, just like the immortals from the Palace of Nuwa. Wouldn't it be foolish to fight with such a powerful foe? Xian from Jie school are very loyal, sending wave after wave to fight, and not even a incense's worth of time had passed when thirty-plus Jie school immortals had been killed in battle.
A female immortal raised her hand and sent out a heart-piercing nail. The magical treasure penetrated Zhou Wang's armor and created a blood hole the size of a finger at the heart. Unfortunately, this injury did not affect Zhou Wang's crazy killing. The white jade neck of the female immortal was cut off by a sword, leaving only fear on her delicate face. In the end, like those fallen mortal soldiers, her skeleton and flesh were all consumed by Tuo Wushuang Sword.
"Yin Lang? Where is Yin Lang? Sister Hanzhi, have you seen my Yin Lang?" The colorful cloud immortal searched for her lover amidst the chaos of Zhou's camp. She shouted out to Hanzhi Immortal. This good sister of hers, as usual, did not even turn her head, but flew away in a hurry on the clouds.
The Cloud Immortal wanted to continue searching for Yin Xiao, but she encountered a terrifying Zhou Wang face-to-face.
Before, Zhou Wang's eyebrows and mustache were slightly stained with blood. Now, after more than an hour of fierce battle and countless kills, not only his eyebrows and mustache but his entire body appeared to have been taken out of the bloody water.
Amidst the ranks of soldiers in full armor, the flower-like beauty of the Cloud Immortal was too dazzling. Zhou Wang, with his legs squeezed together, was pierced by more than a dozen spears and struck by seven or eight arrows. His flesh was chopped off by half, resembling the neighing mount of a skeleton warrior. With a loud neigh, the horse's hooves flew up as it charged towards the Cloud Immortal.
"Who are you? Do you want to die?" The Cloud Immortal was already very agitated. At this time, Zhou Wang approached, and she was very angry.
She is not afraid of Taishijun, the supreme deity of Taoism, and she dared to make a surprise attack. Shang Wang? What is that? She doesn't even fear the three sages and five emperors standing together.
"Get out of my way! Don't obstruct the immortal!" She struck out with her treasure, the Shuimu Zhen, a pearl that shone brilliantly, its rays forming into thousands of deadly blades.
Shuimu Zhen, named after its effect on eyes, is a treasure designed to target eyes. The Cloud Immortal believes that her jade can blind Taishijun's eyes, which is clearly wishful thinking. However, the destructive power of this treasure in daily life is undeniable.
She brought out the jade pearl and waited for the enemy to fall off their horse. In the next breath, she was shocked beyond measure.
The light of the Shuimu Zhen can be compared to swords, while the bloodlight emanating from Tuo Wushuang Sword is akin to a sun.
When a small witch faces a great witch, the light of the Shuimu Zhen was swallowed by the bloodlight in the sky. The jade pearl shattered into powder in mid-air. The Cloud Immortal and the pearl were connected by heart and soul, and she felt as if something had been torn out of her heart. Before she could respond, Zhou Wang had already charged to her face on horseback.
The Cloud Immortal was terrified. Even though she had been broken off an arm last time, she had never felt this fear before. At this moment, she was surrounded by boundless killing intent, trembling and standing still.
"Humph!" Seeing the dignified female immortal display this expression, Zhou Wang was very satisfied.
But as he raised the Tuo Wushuang Sword, the ruler of Great Shang hesitated for a moment, as if he did not want to kill this immortal. The feeling came out of nowhere and was extremely strong. In the midst of the battle, he didn't have time to ponder it; following his instincts, he turned his horse's head and rode around the Cloud Immortal.
