Su Xing saw this and furrowed his brows.
Damned Zong indeed had a strange ability to sense danger, even to the point of feeling his location!
And with Su Xing's strength, it was nearly impossible to defeat Damned Zong head-on.
"At this moment, the only plan is to stall Damned Zong. Only by holding on until Luo Shuying arrives for support will there be a chance to kill him!"
Su Xing felt somewhat excited for a moment.
From the first time he saw Damned Zong, he was treated like an ant, almost turned into a Human Pill.
Now Su Xing finally had the chance to face Damned Zong head-on!
Although the odds of winning were slim... Su Xing still wanted to give it a try.
"If it's a fight, then let's fight! Let me see just how terrifying a cultivator at the peak of Divinity Transformation is!"
Su Xing made up his mind and looked at the simulation panel.
[You realized that Damned Zong was coming straight for you, but this time you had no intention of running away. You adjusted your own breath, bringing your body state to its best, then took out two Spirit Stones extravagantly to restore your own Spiritual Power.]
[You sat cross-legged, closed your eyes to rest, but kept a constant watch on Damned Zong's position. In your perception, the light representing Damned Zong was rapidly approaching you!]
[At a certain moment, you opened your eyes, drew the Ink Ice Sword at your waist, and wiped it carefully.]
[You knew that facing such a formidable enemy like Damned Zong, you absolutely couldn't hold back; you had to go all out from the start! And your biggest trump card at the moment was the Human Sword from the "Three Talents Sword Technique!"]
[The Human Sword was a sword that could defeat ten thousand men! This sentence from the Sword Cultivator's General Principles echoed in your mind, filling you with boiling blood, yet not much fear, for the upcoming battle.]
[The Spirit Sword Mo Bing in your hand let out soft hums, as if it felt your thoughts.]
[A black dot appeared in the distance, rapidly enlarging within your line of sight, finally stopping a hundred meters in front of you.]
[The newcomer was Damned Zong. The moment he saw you, his eyes showed some astonishment, but also some relief.]
[Damned Zong let out a cold laugh, without saying much, only drew a bone sword, turning into a black light heading straight for you.]
[Seeing this, you also wielded the Ink Ice Sword in your hand, charging towards Damned Zong!]
Su Xing saw this and immediately slapped his thigh in frustration, complaining:
"Damn it, novels are all lies! Didn't they say the villains would always engage in some trash talk before the fight, eventually losing to it?"
"Why does this Damned Zong start fighting without saying anything! Is this what real villains do? Acting ruthlessly, without any delay..."
Su Xing knew clearly in his heart that an old and cunning cultivator like Damned Zong would never do anything that was unnecessary, which made Su Xing even more troubled.
He continued to look at the simulation panel.
[Damned Zong's strength was formidable, his swordsmanship even more ruthless and unparalleled. Each strike was lethal, the bone sword constantly emitting mournful wails, as if containing the grievances of countless wronged souls, continuously impacting your spirit.]
[Luckily, your Divine Soul was powerful. Though only at the Nascent Soul Stage, your Divine Sense had already reached nearly nine hundred meters. Otherwise, under the assault of the bone sword's grievances, you would surely be reduced to a fool.]
[But even so, when battling Damned Zong, you were greatly affected by the bone sword, feeling as if your Divine Sense was being bitten by insects.]
[You gritted your teeth against the discomfort in your Divine Soul, wielding the Ink Ice Sword to fend off Damned Zong.]
[After merely a dozen rounds, you felt something was off. Damned Zong's methods were not only ruthless and unfathomable, but his strength was not inferior to yours.]
[You instantly understood in your heart; Damned Zong was probably also practicing dual cultivation, not only at the Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation Stage but likely an old Divine Strength Realm expert in Body Refinement as well.]
[However, you knew you had no retreat. Once you showed a flaw, you would only face death and the vanishing of your Dao.]
[You swung your sword with force, forcing Damned Zong back, then extended your left hand, conjuring a terrifying flame in your palm.]
[This was the divine skill Li Fire Technique!]
[You gently tossed the Li Fire towards Damned Zong. At first, Damned Zong sneered, but upon sensing the terrifying aura from the Li Fire, his expression changed slightly.]
[He seemed to recognize the origin of this flame, and there was even a hint of fear in his gaze towards you.]
[But Damned Zong was no pushover. As a thousand-year-old Divinity Transformation Stage expert, he naturally had some trump cards. He extended his left hand, hidden in his wide sleeve, and a surge of black gas came forth!]
[You were shocked at the sight of Damned Zong's left hand, for it seemed charred like coal, emaciated down to the bones, black all over, wrapped in an unsettling black gas.]
[The black gas from Damned Zong's palm instantly enveloped your Li Fire. The Li Fire flickered continuously, shrinking as if it was about to be extinguished.]
[Seeing this, you quickly channeled Spiritual Power, constantly infusing Spiritual Energy into Li Fire. With the infusion of Spiritual Energy, the Li Fire gradually seemed to break free from the encroachment of the black gas, starting to counter-attack.]
[Damned Zong frowned slightly upon seeing this, then increased the input of his Spiritual Power, tipping the balance back in favor of the black gas.]
[Unwilling to show weakness, you continued to desperately infuse Spiritual Energy, while also taking out Spirit Stones from your Storage Bag, replenishing the consumed Spiritual Power as you fought.]
Su Xing sighed slightly at this point.
"Is this the fabled duel between cultivators? That black gas, who knows where it came from, can actually fight Li Fire to a draw?"
But then Su Xing shook his head and said:
