Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 827: Chapter 114: Zhou Xun: Middle-Stage Nascent Soul? Mere Rabble!_2

With a wave of his hand, Daoist Honggu spoke,

a flash of red light appeared in the air,

followed by a copper cauldron over a hundred feet tall manifesting in the arena,

”Be careful, fellow Daoist!” Daoist Honggu warned and then pointed at Zhou Xun.

The copper cauldron descended like Mount Tai, pressing down on Zhou Xun’s head with an oppressive force that locked onto him.

”What a powerful magical treasure!” Zhou Xun exclaimed in admiration.

With one hand forming a spell, he pointed at the copper cauldron above,

”Zila!”

Along with the sound of thunder,

dozens of purple sword qi suddenly appeared, forming a massive sword shield that effortlessly blocked the giant cauldron.

Then Zhou Xun waved his hand,

the Profound Thunder Sword materialized out of thin air,

transforming into a length of three feet, suspended in front of him, surrounded by flickering blue-purple thunder arcs, crackling explosively!

”Sword Shadow Unification”

Then, with both hands forming a spell, a light shout ensued,

mana surged at his fingertips, casting a spirit light onto the Profound Thunder Sword!

Suddenly, numerous sword lights appeared out of nowhere, swirling around Zhou Xun, dancing up and down, totaling precisely three hundred and sixty!

With a change in the spell,

these sword lights integrated into the Profound Thunder Sword one by one, like birds returning to their forest!

With each sword light merging, the thunder sword grew brighter,

when all the sword lights had fused, the entire sword became extremely bright, as if glowing white, dazzlingly radiant,

the sword began to slightly tremble, appearing excited for the upcoming strike.

”This, is the method of a sword cultivator!”

Bai Yu widened his eyes; even from such a distance, he could sense the oppressive aura emanating from that sword.

”Where did this Zhou Xun emerge from? Why is there no record or intelligence on him!”

Bai Yu couldn’t help but angrily rebuke.

Using the intelligence from White Bone Mountain, he investigated Zhou Xun’s origins. Strangely, this person seemed to have appeared out of thin air,

without any previous information.

This meant that he could not employ the same tactics used against Feng Yang to handle Zhou Xun.

The only option was relying on sheer strength!

But the current scene indicated this individual wasn’t an ordinary Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

A Thunder Cultivator combined with a Sword Cultivator!

Probably even a Peak of Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator might not confidently claim victory over him!

”Uncle, if you were to face this person, could you guarantee victory?” Bai Yu looked towards Wu Feng, who was nearby.

The elderly man in the black robe appeared grave, and upon hearing Bai Yu’s inquiry,

he pondered for a moment before uttering four words:

”Fifty-fifty chance!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu’s mood sank; merely unveiling this single sword technique had pushed his esteemed uncle to only claim a fifty percent chance of victory,

who knows if he possesses other techniques,

After contemplating for a moment, he made a decision:

”Uncle, what if I let you use the ’Profound Bone King’?”

”What, my brother actually assigned that to you!” Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

The Profound Bone King, known as the ’Profound Bone Flying Corpse’ of White Bone Mountain, is one of the three main bone zombies of Master Hundred Bones, its strength nearly comparable to a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator,

it is precisely because of these three bone zombies that Master Hundred Bones gained significant renown, making White Bone Mountain the top sect in Jingzhou.

”My father worried for my safety, thus arranged the ’Profound Bone King’ with me!” Bai Yu responded.

”With its assistance, defeating Zhou Xun would certainly be no issue!” Wu Feng affirmed confidently.

With him and the Profound Bone Flying Corpse, he could directly confront a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

”Good, then I’ll rely on you, Uncle!”

”However, this person is a Thunder Cultivator, which has a restraining effect on the ’Profound Bone King,’ Uncle needs to be cautious!”

On the other side, Daoist Honggu sensed the sword’s might, his face full of shock.

”Is this truly the strength of an Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator?”

”Where did this monster appear from!”

Yet, to just give up this way felt unsatisfactory to him,

He touched his waist, a crimson shield appeared in his hand, its surface engraved with fiery patterns that seemed ignited,

Then, both hands formed a spell and pointed at the shield,

A flash of red light,

the shield expanded against the wind, becoming a giant shield over three hundred feet tall, its surface blazing with flames,

Clearly possessing extraordinary defense,

At this moment, Zhou Xun’s Sword Shadow Unification was already completed,

He merely looked indifferently at Daoist Honggu in the distance, and pointed lightly!

”Go!”

The thunder sword, like a bolt of lightning, instantly pierced through the void, shooting towards Daoist Honggu.

Where it passed, arcs of thunder power shot out, producing crackling sounds.

Daoist Honggu instantly perceived the approaching strong thunder power, a hint of caution in his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt unsure about the shield.

With a wave of his hand, two defense talismans flew out, transforming into two golden, semi-transparent shields, blocking in the front.

With three layers of defense, he now felt a sense of safety.

At this moment, the Profound Thunder Sword, carrying overwhelming thunderous power, violently struck against the three layers of defense.

In an instant, golden rays, firelight, and thunder arcs intertwined, erupting into a deafening roar, as if the world itself trembled.

The first two layers of golden shields shattered instantly, leaving only the fiery giant shield under the impact of the thunder sword, shaking intensely,

the crimson light flickering intermittently, struggling to hold on, as if about to shatter at any moment.

Daoist Honggu’s face was grave, his hands continuously changing spells, attempting to stabilize the defense.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead,

Suddenly, he shouted loudly, his inner mana surged like a tide, pouring into the shaky defense.

The flames on the fire giant shield surged instantly, burning fiercely, attempting to incinerate the power of the thunder sword entirely.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun snorted coldly, his finger tapping again, the thunder arcs on the Profound Thunder Sword became more violent, the sword body trembled intensely, preparing for another attack,

Exploding with powerful impact, heavily striking the fiery giant shield,

Actually knocking it flying directly,

Transforming into a half-foot-sized red shield as it fell to the ground,

While the Profound Thunder Sword continued forward, hovering in front of Daoist Honggu, its tip pointing at him.

Seeing this scene, Daoist Honggu showed a bitter smile, knowing in his heart he was going to lose, but didn’t expect it so quickly.

So he sighed and said:

”I concede!”

Next, the referee cultivator Ji Yuan took a deep look at Zhou Xun, then announced:

”Zhou Xun, wins!”

Hearing this result, Bai Yu’s expression turned gloomy, as he spoke to Wu Feng next to him:

”Next, it’s up to you, Uncle!”

”Don’t worry!”

Soon, a day passed, the second round of the battle ended,

Then came the third round and the fourth round.

In these two rounds, Zhou Xun defeated his opponents forcefully, among them a member of White Bone Mountain,

which was hard for Bai Yu to accept.

But fortunately, it’s soon the final battle for Jiangling Prefecture Pavilion Master’s title.

Outside the West City Gate,

Ji Yuan slowly flew to the third arena’s sky, scanning the crowd:

”Next, it’s the decisive battle for Jiangling Prefecture Pavilion Master,”

”Let me reiterate the rules: absolutely no harm to anyone’s life; otherwise, joint pursuit by Great Jin and Prajna Temple will follow!”

”Zhou Xun, Wu Feng, you may begin!”

The moment the words finished,

Zhou Xun swiftly flew up onto the high platform.

Opposite him stood an elderly man in a black robe, it was Wu Feng, whom he had seen before.

”Zhou Xun, if you concede now, our White Bone Mountain could let bygones be bygones; otherwise, after the tournament ends, you will face our wrath!”

This moment, Wu Feng’s voice transmitted into Zhou Xun’s ears.

”Out of Jingzhou’s twenty-six prefectures, Jiangling Prefecture ranks mid-tier. Why is White Bone Mountain so interested, surely there are hidden motives!”

Zhou Xun did not respond directly, instead expressing his own speculation for the day.

”You court death!”

Hearing this, Wu Feng’s expression drastically changed, then returned to normal,

”Today, I’ll let you witness White Bone Mountain’s heritage; know that sect cultivators cannot be underestimated!”

Saying this, he gestured,

a seven-foot-tall white skeleton appeared in front of him, with emerald green fire in its eyes,

It was the ”Profound Bone Flying Corpse!”
