Seeking Immortality

With Zhang Xusheng's inexplicable sigh, the atmosphere among the crowd became solemn in a short moment, and there was a suffocating feeling in the space.

Under the gaze of the Jiuhua elders and high-level demons in the sky, Zhang Xusheng smiled slightly, looked at Li Xuhan with soft eyes, and said leisurely: "Brother, thank you for your care over the years. Now, you rest in peace."

As Zhang Xusheng's voice fell, the situation on the field suddenly changed! !

The high-level demons who had been standing silently behind Zhang Xusheng suddenly attacked the Jiuhua elders fiercely, with a bit of momentum of attacking without defending and fighting for their lives, as if they didn't care about their own lives as long as they could kill these Jiuhua elders. As a result, the Jiuhua elders were caught off guard and were in a panic, and even several elders were injured.

The Jiuhua sky, which had originally returned to peace under Zhang Xusheng's proposal, now returned to the chaotic fighting as before. Even Zhang Hualing, Xiao Huazhe, and Elder Yuchi had to get involved in the melee under attack.

In this chaos, the area around Zhang Xusheng, Li Xuhan, and Deaf, Mute, and Blind was still calm. No demon or Jiuhua elder dared to attack these three masters.

Seeing the changes on the field and hearing Zhang Xusheng's arrogant words, Li Xuhan was not angry, but a trace of deep vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, I know you set up this bet with bad intentions. What is your intention in doing this?"

As he spoke, Li Xuhan's body once again turned into nine, re-forming the "Nine Palace Formation", surrounding Zhang Xusheng in the middle, and looking at him vigilantly. It seems that he is ready to take action at any time.

"Blood coagulation" is a kind of extraordinary skill created by Li Xuhan based on the experimental experience left by Zhang Xusheng in Jiuhua and the various Taoist methods of Jiuhua. It uses a special method to catalyze the blood of immortals, so that the blood can be transformed into a physical form and become the external incarnation of the user. And these "blood clones" have a cultivation level that is no less than that provided by the blood, which can be called incomparable.

Not only that, the "blood clones" often communicate with the user's mind after they are transformed. The power generated by the joint efforts is not just several times the original. If a formation like the "Nine Palace Formation" is formed, the power will be greatly increased.

After Li Xuhan failed to seize the body, he knew that his current body was definitely not Zhang Xusheng's opponent, so he devoted himself to practice over the years and finally created this set of skills that Zhang Xusheng had thought was impossible to achieve. It was his biggest reliance when facing Zhang Xusheng this time.

Compared with Bai Qingfu in front of Hualing Palace. Although the characteristics are similar to those of the incarnation, one relies on the application and understanding of Taoism, while the other relies purely on instinct. There is no need to say more about the difference.

After seeing Li Xuhan's actions, the deaf, dumb and blind lord seemed to sigh slightly, and silently raised the "Sky Patrol Sword" again and aimed at Zhang Xusheng.

The deaf, dumb and blind lord knew that Li Xuhan only wanted to kill Zhang Xusheng. He would do anything for this. The biggest reason why he agreed to the bet proposed by Zhang Xusheng just now was to take his own ideas into consideration. So at this time, the deaf, dumb and blind lord absolutely did not allow the situation to change, otherwise the Kuxiu Valley would owe Jiuhua Mountain a big favor. Although he really wanted to know who in the Kuxiu Valley had defected to Zhang Xusheng, he had to take action at this time.

Thinking of this, the deaf, dumb and blind lord secretly used his profound skills. Under the guidance of spiritual energy, the sky of Jiuhua Mountain was suddenly covered with dark clouds and lightning flashed continuously. Countless lightning struck from the sky and hit the "Sky Patrol Sword" in his hand. The spiritual energy fluctuation of the "Sky Patrol Sword" that absorbed the power of thunder and lightning in the sky increased greatly. In this way, the deaf, dumb and blind lord relied on only a "Sky Patrol Sword" to generate a power no less than Li Xuhan and his eight blood clones who formed the "Nine Palace Formation".

As before, Zhang Xusheng turned a blind eye to the threats around him, but only looked at the "Sky Patrol Sword" in the hand of the deaf, dumb and blind lord with interest, and ignored Li Xuhan's questioning. He smiled and asked the deaf, dumb and blind lord: "Zun. If you and I fight one-on-one, who will win and who will lose?"

The deaf, dumb and blind lord was silent for a while. Then the old voice sounded again from heaven and earth: "You are gifted and intelligent, and you have combined the skills of good and evil. You have also achieved great success in the evil arts you have studied over the years, which is far better than people like me who only know how to work hard. If I meet you alone, I am afraid that I will be at a disadvantage. But if I join forces with Mr. Li, you will have no chance of winning."

Zhang Xusheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Xuhan and said leisurely: "You and your apprentice will delay time to wait for strong reinforcements, won't I?"

As he said that, Zhang Xusheng's expression suddenly became serious, and he said softly: "Brother, I will give you a last piece of advice. If it is not yours, you must not use it carelessly. You must remember it in your next life."

As he said that, a strong and strange spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly burst out from Zhang Xusheng's body. The momentum was so strong that it seemed to have reached the edge of the vast land of Shenzhou in just a moment. And around Zhang Xusheng, under the strong spiritual energy fluctuation, the scene was slightly distorted. The Jiuhua elders who had never seen Zhang Xusheng in action could not help but change their expressions. Even the deaf, dumb and blind elder frowned slightly. Although he had long known that Zhang Xusheng's strength was unmatched in the world of immortal cultivation, he did not expect him to be so strong.

In all parts of the vast land of China, almost all the Mahayana masters were slightly shocked. Even those who were in retreat were awakened. They all looked towards Jiuhua Mountain. Many of them hesitated for a moment and flew towards Jiuhua Mountain.

In a quiet valley, a mysterious man wrapped in a purple robe with the word "Ming" written on it and a ring with the word "Xuan" engraved on his right hand. After sensing the fluctuation of Zhang Xusheng's spiritual energy, he was also slightly stunned. After a long time, he sighed slightly and suddenly disappeared.

In the air, only a vicissitudes of life voice was left.

"Huang, this guy, is too messy. What if he is discovered by those old monsters in the world of cultivation? Now is not the time to go to war with them."

In Jiuhua Mountain, Zhang Xusheng's momentum surged, and blood flashed in his eyes. The gaze of his eyes turned into two solid blood pillars, which were cast on Li Xuhan. At the same time, a deep voice slowly sounded: "Everything has its limits, and it started from chaos. Return!!"

The moment Zhang Xusheng's voice fell, Li Xuhan, who was originally preparing to use the "Nine Palace Formation" to attack Zhang Xusheng, was shocked, and the solemn expression on his face changed drastically, as if he had discovered something extremely terrifying. Then his eyebrows became more tangled, as if a sharp pain from the soul spread throughout his body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

A clear heartbeat suddenly sounded from Zhang Xusheng's body, and combined with the changes in Zhang Xusheng and Li Xuhan, the situation became even more weird.

"You shouldn't admit that my heart is in your body, and you shouldn't use blood coagulation at this time. Senior Brother Li, you are the most talented and intelligent person in Jiuhua Sect for thousands of years, except for me. It's a pity to die like this." Zhang Xusheng looked at Li Xuhan, whose expression began to twist slightly under pain, and said softly.

Then, Zhang Xusheng smiled slightly and said, "However, I have regretted it once three hundred years ago, so what's the harm in regretting it again this time?"

It turned out that Zhang Xusheng knew that it would be extremely difficult to take back his heart after he knew that his heart was put in Li Xuhan's new body. Because even if he could defeat the joint efforts of Li Xuhan and the deaf, dumb and blind lord, he might hurt his heart because he couldn't stop, which would be a loss. And if he was cautious in order not to hurt his heart, he would be killed by Li Xuhan and the deaf, dumb and blind lord, and his efforts would fail.

But Zhang Xusheng is worthy of being one of the few brilliant people in the successive generations of Jiuhua Mountain. He thought of a countermeasure in an instant. The heart is closely related to the soul of a person, and Zhang Xusheng's heart has been tampered with countless times before. Although it is difficult to recall the consciousness, it is not impossible. But it will take a lot of time. So Zhang Xusheng proposed the bet to delay time so that he can reconnect with his heart.

Li Xuhan was also careless, and his research on the human body and soul was far less profound than Zhang Xusheng. Although he understood the importance and uniqueness of the heart to a person. But he did not pay enough attention to it. If the heart can really be replaced at will, why would Zhang Xusheng have to go through so much trouble to return to his original heart after eight hundred years?

In addition, after Li Xuhan performed "Blood Coagulation*", his mind was divided into nine to control eight clones, and his defense against his own body was greatly weakened. He was actually being controlled by Zhang Xusheng gradually without knowing it. In the end, Zhang Xusheng suddenly attacked him, and his blood vessels reversed, his heart was agitated, and he had no power to resist.

However, Li Xuhan was also a man of extraordinary intelligence and skills. The moment he found the abnormal heart in his body, he immediately figured out the cause and effect, and in just a moment, he mobilized all his spiritual energy and consciousness to suppress the abnormal body. Although he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Zhang Xusheng, he did not let his heart break out of his body immediately, and gained a precious breathing opportunity. But under the reversed blood vessels and strong agitation of the heart, he was in pain and could not hold himself.

"Master!!" Zhang Hualing screamed after seeing the abnormality of Li Xuhan.

Knowing that all this was done by Zhang Xusheng, he did not care about the demon in front of him who kept attacking him, and attacked Zhang Xusheng with all his remaining strength. But Zhang Xusheng seemed to have an invisible barrier around him at this time, which blocked Zhang Hualing's attack three feet away. From beginning to end, Zhang Xusheng did not turn his head to look at him.

"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"

As the heartbeats continued to sound and fall, the eight "blood clones" transformed by Li Xuhan also exploded one after another, turning into a blood mist and dissipating between heaven and earth. The "Nine Palace Formation" that originally surrounded Zhang Xusheng collapsed without attack. Li Xuhan's skin was even more obviously bloody, and there was even blood oozing out of his skin.

Under the severe pain, Li Xuhan could not even keep his body in the sky and almost fell from the sky. Fortunately, the deaf, dumb and blind master helped him in time.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?"

The deaf, dumb and blind master was shocked when he saw these changes and asked hurriedly. At the same time, in order to prevent Zhang Xusheng's sneak attack. He waved the "Sky Patrol Sword" in his hand, and countless lightning bolts fell from the sky, rushing towards Zhang Xusheng. But although these lightning bolts seemed powerful, they disappeared without a trace in just a wave of Zhang Xusheng's hand.

"Ah!

Finally, Li Xuhan could no longer bear the severe pain in his body, and opened his mouth to scream loudly, and the entire Jiuhua Mountain. Whether it was the low-level disciples and low-level demons in Jiuhua Mountain, or the elders and high-level demons of Jiuhua, their bodies were shaken by this scream, and even a mouthful of blood spurted out of their mouths, which showed the power contained in this sound.

And Li Xuhan, who couldn't help but scream, was enduring severe pain at this time.

Seeing Li Xuhan like this. Deaf, Mute and Blind Venerable was very anxious, and hurriedly injected a stream of spiritual energy into Li Xuhan's body. The situation he found shocked Deaf, Mute and Blind Venerable, but it turned out that Li Xuhan's blood was reversed at this time, and the heart with a strange breath was fluctuating faster and more powerfully, as if eager to break out of the body.

Deaf, Mute and Blind Venerable didn't care to consider the reason for a while, and mobilized a large amount of spiritual energy in his body to be injected into Li Xuhan's body. Try to help Li Xuhan calm the restlessness of his blood and heart.

Finally. After Li Xuhan got the help of the deaf, dumb and blind, he gradually had the strength to compete with Zhang Xusheng. His originally restless heart slowly calmed down again under the joint efforts of the two.

Realizing that the situation was beginning to be unfavorable to him, Zhang Xusheng frowned slightly, but did not show any worry. He just changed his ten fingers, and the pressure on his body increased again. At the same time, he began to chant a mysterious and ancient strange song, like an ancient sacrifice. Constantly fluctuating between heaven and earth.

In Zhang Xusheng's singing, Li Xuhan's heart, which had gradually become calm, began to become restless again. Even if Li Xuhan and the deaf, dumb and blind worked together, they could not control it.

And those high-level demons who were fighting with the elders of Jiuhua were all shocked after hearing the song. Without hesitation, they threw away their opponents at this time. They rushed towards the deaf, dumb and blind and Li Xuhan, and their bodies quickly swelled up. They were actually performing the "Spirit Explosion Technique"!!

Seeing these high-level demons performing the "Spirit Explosion Technique", the Jiuhua elders who were originally thinking of pursuing them not only stopped, but also fled to the distance at a faster speed, not daring to get close at all.

Finally, these high-level demons flew to the side of Deaf, Mute, and Blind Venerable and Li Xuhan, and began to self-destruct. Although the affected area was not large, the small-scale explosion had a more powerful power. Under the self-destruction of more than ten high-level demons whose cultivation was no less than that of Jindan stage cultivators, even though Deaf, Mute, and Blind Venerable and Li Xuhan were both masters of the Mahayana stage, they were all shocked at this time, and even for a moment, both of them could not control their consciousness and spiritual energy.

In this short moment, Zhang Xusheng's eyes opened wide, and two blood-red lights burst out from his eyes, and he shouted: "Return!!"

With Zhang Xusheng's shout, Li Xuhan's body shook violently, his chest burst suddenly, and thick blood mist spread from his chest.

At the same time, a red light appeared from Li Xuhan's chest and shot towards Zhang Xusheng at lightning speed. Looking carefully, it was a strange-looking heart, which was still beating during the flight.

This was the heart that Li Xuhan took from Zhang Xusheng eight hundred years ago! !

Seeing the heart shooting towards him, Zhang Xusheng's face flashed with ecstasy, and he suddenly tore open his shirt, but saw a shocking wound on his left chest, which was about one foot long and three inches wide. Zhang Xusheng's body was obviously very thin, but this wound gave people a feeling of being as deep and unfathomable as a black hole, and thick blood mist kept swirling in this wound.

As soon as this wound appeared, the heart flew towards Zhang Xusheng at an increased speed, just like a young swallow finally found its nest.

But no one on the field noticed that although Li Xuhan had lost his heart, there was a hint of smile on his lips, as if his plan had succeeded.

Seeing this scene, thinking of the previous conversation between Zhang Xusheng and Li Xuhan, the deaf, dumb and blind master finally knew the cause and effect of this change, and he couldn't help but be anxious, knowing that once Zhang Xusheng got his heart back, the evil arts he had practiced and studied over the years would be perfected, and by then, no one in the entire cultivation world would be able to control him.

Thinking of this, Deaf, Mute, and Blind no longer cared about taking care of Li Xuhan, who had lost his heart and was bleeding heavily. He threw Li Xuhan to Zhang Hualing, who was flying fast. Then he no longer concealed his strength, and his aura rose sharply. He was not weaker than Zhang Xusheng at all. He controlled the "Sky Patrol Sword" and attacked Zhang Xusheng quickly.

At this time, the heart was very close to Zhang Xusheng, and Deaf, Mute, and Blind had almost no chance to take it back immediately, so he simply increased his speed to the extreme and attacked Zhang Xusheng directly. In this way, Zhang Xusheng had only two options. One was to stop in place to take back the heart, and then because he could not dodge, he had to take the full force of Deaf, Mute, and Blind. The second was to temporarily avoid the edge of Deaf, Mute, and Blind, and then fight with Deaf, Mute, and Blind and look for an opportunity to take back the heart.

In Deaf, Mute, and Blind's opinion, a person as far-sighted as Zhang Xusheng would definitely choose the second way, so although the offensive was strong, he secretly prepared to hide the heart in his heart.

But immediately, Deaf, Mute, and Blind was stunned.

Although Zhang Xusheng saw the powerful attack of the Deaf, Mute and Blind Lord, he did not move at all. Instead, he reached out to grab his heart. Obviously, he chose the first path. He would rather endure the full-strength attack of the Deaf, Mute and Blind Lord than lose his heart.

"In that case, I will let you taste the power of my Sky-Surveying Sword. No matter how strong you are, you will only be seriously injured by my Sky-Surveying Sword. It won't be too late to take back Li Daoyou's heart then."

The Deaf, Mute, and Blind Lord thought secretly.

At this moment, Zhang Xusheng's mouth was covered with that familiar sarcastic smile.
