Chapter 578: Chapter 526: Suppress by Turning Over the Hand

Once he had made up his mind, Zuo Qiuhanyan didn’t give Pang Hong a chance to speak. He stepped forward, surrounded by rolling demonic energy, and launched a punch aimed to kill Pang Hong on the spot.

Boom!

A hint of surprise flashed through Zuo Qiuhanyan’s eyes, his punch had been blocked.

The one who blocked it was not Pang Hong, but something at Pang Hong’s chest.

Hums…

A jade talisman flew out from Pang Hong’s chest, emitting a warm and colourful light. After blocking Zuo Qiuhanyan’s punch, the light began to spread, gradually transforming into the figure of a young Taoist in a dark brown robe.

“Pei Xuanjing!”

Although he had never met Pei Xuanjing, when Zuo Qiuhanyan saw the figure of this Taoist, he instantly recognized his identity.

“A cultivator of the Demonic Way at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm, no wonder it activated this contingency I left behind,” Pei Xuanjing said self-absorbedly, not responding directly.

His gaze swept over Zuo Qiuhanyan, instantly assessing his strength.

With the Shenxiao sword in hand, Pang Hong might have a chance of winning even against cultivators at the Fourth Level of the Spirit Realm, but facing a cultivator at the Sixth Level, even if they were injured, was more than Pang Hong could handle.

“Master, I’m useless,” Pang Hong saw Pei Xuanjing’s figure appear and promptly bowed in apology.

Pei Xuanjing waved his hand nonchalantly, “You’ve done well enough. The opponent is indeed beyond your level. Losing this time is nothing. You just need to focus on training in the future.”

A cultivator of the Demonic Way at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm has undoubtedly cultivated for hundreds of years. The opponent’s battle experience and cultivated skills are not something Pang Hong can match.

“Yes, Master, I understand. I will train hard in the future,” Pang Hong said solemnly.

After all, he was less than sixty years old. Losing to this opponent was expected. If he had won, it would have been a real surprise.

Therefore, although he had lost to this powerful practitioner of the Demonic Way this time, it didn’t affect Pang Hong’s state of mind too much.

After advising his disciple, Pei Xuanjing finally turned his gaze upon Zuo Qiuhanyan, “Do you have anything to say?”

“Do you think you can suppress me by just projecting an avatar?” There was a hint of anger in Zuo Qiuhanyan’s eyes.

Admittedly, he was genuinely fearful when Pei Xuanjing’s avatar first appeared, and the thought of retreating did cross his mind. But hearing Pei Xuanjing’s grandiose claims, he felt belittled.

A cultivator at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm, although not among the top in Sky Wasteland, was still a formidable presence. Faced with such a cultivator who is just a step away from the sixth rank, even major powers would hesitate to provoke. After all, if they failed to suppress or kill the opponent, a breakthrough to the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm would inevitably bring great troubles.

Now that Pei Xuanjing was taking him lightly, how could Zuo Qiuhanyan not feel a surge of anger?

If the opponent had come in person, he would have fled without a second thought. But this mere avatar projected by the opponent, dismissing him so lightly, was utterly infuriating.

“Hehe, it seems that you are an independent practitioner, not from a major power,” Pei Xuanjing said placidly, not at all bothered by Zuo Qiuhanyan’s words.

Zuo Qiuhanyan felt a dig of anxiety when Pei Xuanjing revealed his background so nonchalantly. He asked tersely, “What do you mean?”

“Hehe,” Pei Xuanjing just chuckled, not intending to explain.

It’s quite simple, really. As the restoration of Heaven and Earth lengthened, more and more individuals from the Sky Wasteland arrived in the Daming World, and the Sky Mechanism Pavilion had long planted their hidden hands in the Daming World.

While the people of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion had not yet made a move, they still had a clear understanding of all the details about powerful figures like Pei Xuanjing, without any inaccuracies.

Nowadays, although Pei Xuanjing had not yet had too much interaction with the various forces of Sky Wasteland, there was no doubt that information about his background was already known to these forces.

If the person in front of him came from one of these forces, he would naturally be aware of Pei Xuanjing’s external incarnation divine abilities displayed when he killed the Howling Moon Gray Wolf from the Demon Race outside the border, and would also know that even though Pei Xuanjing was just an avatar, he still possessed extraordinary strength.

But the fact that the person did not know, meant without a doubt that he lacked backing.

“…” Zuo Qiuhanyan fell silent, becoming even more bewildered by what the other was implying.

He wasn’t sure how the other party was able to tell that he was alone, but he did understand that under these circumstances, the other party wouldn’t have any reservations in dealing with him.

However, before Zuo Qiuhanyan could think any further, he could see Pei Xuanjing had already made a move.

Boom!

Infinite Heaven and Earth Essence Qi exploded, with Pei Xuanjing’s avatar as the center, it seemed like a vortex absorbing boundless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. As the Essence Qi converged, Pei Xuanjing’s avatar gradually became more solid.

Pei Xuanjing stood proudly in mid-air, his aura growing stronger and stronger, causing the skies within dozens of miles around him to change color. The sea of clouds churned, air currents rolled, and muffled thunder rumbled in the distance.

His overwhelming aura was as vast as the boundless sky, becoming the only existence between Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing’s dominance was fully displayed. The previously evident Taoist demeanor had faded, replaced by the aura of a sovereign, full of majesty. Heaven and Earth Essence Qi swirled around him like huge waves, circling his body and causing air currents to roll wherever he moved.

The next moment, Pei Xuanjing slowly lifted his hands, turning his fingers into palms. Countless strands of electricity gathered in the center of his palms, emitting a terrifying aura. The lightning in his palms transformed into two purple-green thunder dragons, their roaring echoing throughout the skies, accompanied by wind and thunder, their momentum was majestic.

Roar!

In an instant, he slapped out with both his palms, and countless strands of lightning turned into two purple-green thunder dragons, charging forward. Their roaring echoed through the heavens, accompanied by wind and thunder, displaying a grandeur that could not be ignored.

As these purple-green thunder dragons roared across the sky, causing continuous bursts of thunder. They struck upwards, towards the clouds, and wherever they passed, a wave of energy swept across, carrying an annihilating aura that seemed to want to destroy everything.

Wherever the two purple-green thunder dragons passed, space quaked, and countless explosive sounds echoed continuously, leaving only countless afterimages and distorted space.

This was the Shenxiao Thunder Palm. Pei Xuanjing had once again analyzed and improved this technique, now it could be called the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Palm.

“This!”

Zuo Qiuhanyan felt a chill down to his marrow the moment Pei Xuanjing made his move.

As a powerful practitioner who had been immersed in the Demonic Way for hundreds of years, he had survived through countless life and death situations and possesses an instinctual reaction when facing a massive threat.

At this moment, facing Pei Xuanjing’s palm strike, he felt the threat of death.

Zuo Qiuhanyan couldn’t afford to hold back any longer, nor think about his injuries that had not yet fully healed. He violently stimulated all his strength, not daring to hold anything back.

Because he was clear, if he couldn’t withstand this strike, he might not have a future anymore.
