I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Duster Holy Display Skill, Tan Zongzhao’s Strength (2/4)

Shen Jie and Blackie’s previous opponents had all been different.

Whether facing those at the same realm or those a major realm or one or two minor realms lower, Blackie had always been fully capable of handling them, sometimes even with ease.

However, Shen Jie was only one minor realm higher than him.

Every attack Shen Jie released made Blackie feel a sense of death encroaching.

If it hadn’t been for his bloodline ability, Blackie would have likely had some difficulty overcoming Shen Jie.

On the other hand, Shen Jie might also have had reserves he never got a chance to unleash.

But their clash was originally full of uncertainties. The timing of unleashing one’s hidden cards could affect the outcome—being even a breath or a blink late could directly sway the tide of battle.

One had to rely on their bloodline cultivation techniques or even external aids to bridge the gap in realms.

Since one could rely on their own power to unleash these, it was, of course, thanks to their own strength.

So, if you lost, you lost, and if you won, you won.

There were no other excuses.

Shen Jie understood this as well, his gaze fixed on Blackie, filled with reluctance and astonishment.

“How did you do it? That last strike was definitely not something an early-stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivator could release,” Shen Jie asked after a moment, his voice heavy.

Just looking at Blackie’s thrust, the power it unleashed shocked everyone!

Even Tan Zongzhao and Ke Dalai’s group of five, down below, temporarily stopped their clash, their faces grave as they watched the scene unfold.

Blackie replied indifferently, “I simply condensed my power into a single point and erupted it.”

Shen Jie nodded, “You really do have guts.”

At their level, it was not difficult to condense power into a single strike.

But after unleashing such a blow, one’s body would inevitably enter a weakened state.

If one left an opening or failed to defeat the opponent with that strike, then they would no longer be a match for their adversary and would become completely defenseless, at the mercy of the other party!

“So, you must be in a weakened state right now. If I were to strike at this moment, who do you think would win?” Shen Jie asked in return.

Blackie moved the Nine Heaven Demon Halberd in his hand forward, the halberd’s tip lightly pressing against Shen Jie’s brow. The skin at the brow broke, blood began to gush forth, streaming down Shen Jie’s cheeks and giving him a fearsome appearance.

“You can try and see whether you can strike faster or if my halberd piercing your brow is quicker.”

Shen Jie nodded, “Someone like you will eventually come to the Chaos Realm, and then you’ll understand the status of the Seven Treasures Saint Sect there.”

A threat.

A very crude way of threatening, but it worked 99% of the time.

But Blackie belonged to that 1%…

“If you won’t concede, then I’ll have no choice but to kill you,” Blackie said, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jie’s eyes filled with killing intent.

If previously it was contempt, now it was tangible killing intent!

“If that’s the case, I’ll be waiting for you in the Chaos Realm…” Shen Jie’s gaze was resolute, his tone serious, he took a deep breath and said, “I concede…”

As soon as these three words were spoken, Shen Jie deflated like a punctured ball…

At that moment, a formidable force that no one present could resist swept over them, and Shen Jie’s figure vanished from the space.

Clearly, he had been sent back.

Witnessing this scene, the crowd exchanged looks, even Ke Dalai and the others showing some disbelief in their eyes.

They had not expected Shen Jie to be defeated by Blackie.

Tan Zongzhao, on the other hand, smiled secretly after a brief moment of astonishment.

It seemed he hadn’t bet on the wrong person.

However, after Shen Jie disappeared, Blackie immediately sat down cross-legged, and the blood vessels that surfaced on his body gradually receded back internally.

Having pushed his Bloodline Boiling to the extreme just now, it was only natural for him to now face a period of weakness.

Tan Zongzhao stood in front of Blackie, smiling, “How long do you need?”

Sensing the rapid self-healing within his body, Blackie replied with closed eyes, “An incense stick to burn.”

Tan Zongzhao nodded, “Leave this incense stick to burn to me; no one will be able to hurt you.”

“Thank you.”

At this moment, Ke Dalai and his four companions also walked up to Tan Zongzhao.

“An incense stick to burn? You seem to be a bit too arrogant.”

Having said that, a terrifying aura erupted from each of the five individuals!

Their aura was in no way inferior to Shen Jie’s!

Those who could come here and be chosen by the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace naturally would not be weak.

Every one of them was a top-notch prodigy!

Tan Zongzhao chuckled lightly, and a horsetail whisk appeared in his hand, lightly swung.

Three thousand white threads wildly danced around Tan Zongzhao!

A dense and impenetrable white light enveloped Tan Zongzhao and Blackie!

“Go ahead and try.”

Ke Dalai snorted coldly, clasping a broadsword in his hand and stomping the ground fiercely; a flash of sword light burst forth! The Dao Law of the sword swept across the loess!

The ground cracked and opened, creating giant fissures all around Ke Dalai!

Immediately, he swung his sword down towards Tan Zongzhao!

The immense sword light turned into a slashing attack, tearing through the space, cutting through the ground, and slashing towards Tan Zongzhao!

The other four did not hold back either, launching full-strength attacks directly at Tan Zongzhao!

Once Blackie recovers,

it will become troublesome.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is only one of them right now, a quick resolution is the only hope!

Seeing this, Tan Zongzhao’s smile faded, his expression became serious, and he swung the horsetail whisk in his hand, softly saying, “Demons Breaking True Monarch, manifest.”

At this moment, the three thousand horsetail whisk threads wildly entwined and condensed into a figure!

The figure, holding a nine-story pagoda, pressed down on the attacks of the five assailants!

The white light flashed, and the pagoda swelled in response to the wind!

The five attacks instantly bombarded the pagoda!

Instantly, lines of cracks appeared on the pagoda! The emerging gaps turned into three thousand horsetail whisk threads, which immediately filled in the cracks on the pagoda, repairing the breaches!

This repeated over and over.

The attacks of the five were exhausted amidst the entanglement of the white threads!

Ke Dalai, hefting his broadsword, said gravely, “The Duster Holy Display Skill of the Demon-breaking Elder from the Mixed Spirit Academy is indeed as famous as it is reputed to be.”

The Demon-breaking Elder is the First Elder of the Mixed Spirit Academy.

“No wonder that Demon-breaking Elder, who never accepts disciples, made an exception to take you as his last disciple; truly as reputed.”

Tan Zongzhao chuckled, “It’s just luck.”

“However… let’s see how long your Duster Holy Display Skill can last.”

A dazzling sword glow began to condense in Ke Dalai’s broadsword, and within him, an endless surge of sword Dao Law erupted!

The surrounding space was torn apart!

“Gentlemen, let’s go all out,” Ke Dalai laughed loudly. “If even this strike is ineffective, then we might as well concede defeat.”

If this strike couldn’t breach Tan Zongzhao’s defense, and Blackie recuperates, it would indeed be inevitable.

Once Blackie is back and can join forces with Tan Zongzhao, then Tan Zongzhao will have no hesitation in attacking full strength, and they won’t be a match.

Even if they could defeat Blackie and become the second person standing here,

they would definitely not be a match for Tan Zongzhao in the one-on-one challenge of the fifth barrier.

Rather than that, it would be better to put all their energy into this one strike; if Tan Zongzhao were defeated, they would still have hope of passing the test!
