[It's the damned Zong's aura!]
Noticing this, Su Xing's heart stirred as he muttered,
"So that's how it is... No wonder I couldn't sense the damned Zong's aura before. It turned out this guy had been hiding within the Changchun Sect all along!"
"The Immortal Martial Era Instance is too far from the Blue Star, not even in the same world... No wonder the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique couldn't sense it!"
Su Xing pondered in his heart, suspecting that the damned Zong had likely been hiding in this instance to evade the Descending Sect's pursuit.
"Very well, I can use the damned Zong to test my current strength!"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel with some anticipation.
[After encountering the damned Zong, you didn't act rashly. To avoid being discovered prematurely, you chose to restrain your divine sense and enter Changchun City.]
[Changchun City was built in a lush green valley, quite expansive. The whole city gave you the impression that its foundation was significantly deeper than the other two sects.]
[And in the reality of your Ten Thousand Li Tracking Technique, it seemed that the damned Zong was indeed lurking within the Changchun Sect!]
[After disguising yourself and masking your aura, you pretended to be someone coming to learn martial arts. Using the power of money, you bribed an outer sect elder responsible for recruitment and smoothly joined the outer sect of the Changchun Sect.]
[In the following days, you repeatedly investigated and eventually locked onto an outer sect disciple practicing the Changchun Technique as your target.]
[This outer sect disciple was precisely the damned Zong in disguise!]
Seeing this, Su Xing drew a cold breath and said,
"Hiss~ This damned Zong is truly sly! A peak Divinity Transformation cultivator disguised as an outer sect disciple to infiltrate a sect?"
"But... this time, you'll be the one who's taken down!"
[After confirming the damned Zong's identity, you didn't hesitate and directly made a move!]
[Enveloping Origin Force covered both your fists. At that moment, the power of the Divine Strength Realm erupted completely, and you swung a punch at the damned Zong's head, intending to kill him in one blow!]
[But the damned Zong, worthy of being a thousand-year-old sly fox, sensed the danger in advance and narrowly dodged your punch.]
[Boom! Your punch landed squarely on the ground, and in an instant, the sound was like a mountain exploding. The entire sect square shook as if an earthquake had struck.]
[The ground shattered, and countless disciples hurriedly fled.]
[After you launched your attack, the damned Zong clearly sensed the familiar aura on you.]
[Immediately, a sinister smile appeared on his face.]
[You wanted to kill the damned Zong and seize his treasures, but the damned Zong had the same thought about you!]
[Thus, a great battle was imminent!]
[The damned Zong first summoned a bone sword. His sword moves were fierce and venomous, wrapped in resentment as they clashed with your spiritual power.]
[But your strength had long since improved. At the same time, you wielded the Ink Ice Sword, unleashing your sword intent!]
[With the sword intent upon you, a surge of unstoppable momentum rose in your heart, and your fighting spirit soared!]
[Everywhere the sword light passed, mountains crumbled and trees toppled, forcing the damned Zong to temporarily avoid your sharp edge.]
[You fought over a hundred rounds, continuously pressing the damned Zong.]
[Knowing his swordsmanship couldn't match yours, the damned Zong began using his divine arts and techniques!]
[He swung a palm, and black energy lunged at you like a venomous snake.]
[You quickly activated the Li Fire Technique, hurling it at the black energy.]
[Although your Qi Refining Cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage, less formidable than the damned Zong, the Li Fire Technique restrained the black energy. For a time, they were evenly matched.]
[As the black energy swept through, the entire Changchun Sect's mountain gate was shrouded in despair. Thousands of disciples turned into skeletons in an instant.]
[But with spiritual power protecting you and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level reaching the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm, the black energy did not significantly affect your combat strength in the short term.]
[Seeing his divine skills restrained, the damned Zong gritted his teeth and summoned seven Nascent Soul Stage puppets. These seven puppets, working harmoniously together, formed a formation that temporarily rivaled a Divinity Transformation cultivator.]
[The seven puppets, cooperating tacitly with the damned Zong, fought you to a standstill for a time!]
Seeing this, Su Xing raised an eyebrow and muttered,
"As expected, the damned Zong has quite a few trump cards!"
"To think he even has Nascent Soul puppets... And beyond that, they can form a battle formation, making seven Nascent Souls combined rival a Divinity Transformation cultivator?"
Su Xing was somewhat amazed by the damned Zong's methods.
But then the corner of Su Xing's mouth curved slightly upward as he said,
"Too bad. Now I'm not who I used to be! Even if you had more puppets, even if another Divinity Transformation appeared, it couldn't save your damn life today!"
He glanced at the simulation panel.
[The puppets and the damned Zong soon entangled you in battle.]
[After dozens of rounds, relying on your rich combat experience, you found a flaw and shattered one of the Nascent Soul Stage puppets with a punch!]
[With one Nascent Soul puppet destroyed, the formation's power instantly diminished, and you didn't need much effort to crush all the puppets.]
[Then, you fought the damned Zong alone, battling him for dozens of rounds, causing him to spit blood from his mouth.]
[Seeing his puppets shattered, the damned Zong's face showed a pained expression. But in a life-and-death situation, he could only pull out his trump card.]
[A black flag appeared in the damned Zong's hand, the Soul Summoning Banner!]
[The damned Zong then distanced himself from you, rapidly chanting a spell...]
[Instantly, in the perception of your divine sense, the souls of the disciples who had died tragically within the Changchun Sect were being drawn into the Soul Summoning Banner!]
[As more and more souls surged into it, the aura of the damned Zong grew increasingly eerie.]
[Finally, black energy surged into the damned Zong's arm.]
[In an instant, the damned Zong's aura skyrocketed, and even his pupils turned black, as he charged at you!]
