Stronger from Earth

Chapter 220 219: What's the Use of Passion?

Having reached this level, Wang Xuan already has the confidence to contend with Zhao Hao, at least able to stand in an undefeated position.

Even though he is only at the late stage of the Earth Immortal First Realm, while Zhao Hao is already at the Peak of Dharma Body in the Third Realm of Earth Immortal, the true Peak of Earth Immortal.

Bathed in the celestial tribulation, he clearly felt his connection with space, and using this connection his speed greatly increased, at least several times compared to before.

"Zhao Ritian? Heh, after a petty official gains power he dares to speak to me like this. A year ago I could easily crush you, and a year later it's the same."

Zhao Hao is very satisfied with his name, Hao means sky, he should dominate the world, that's the domineering side of the word Hao.

But, in Wang Xuan's mouth, it turns into Zhao Ritian, such a silly and vulgar name, it's simply an insult.

"Is that so?" Wang Xuan chuckled, he is no longer the boy he was, his strength has changed dramatically.

He still remembers the conflict a year ago with Zhao Hao, at that time he could only endure, keeping the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.

But now, it's no longer necessary.

He said Zhao Hao still has his flair, but this was actually sarcasm, ridiculing the opponent for not having improved at all in the past year. Whereas he has caught up.

The celestial tribulation overhead gradually subsided, Wang Xuan moved his mind, and with a clang, Zhao Hao's sword was instantly controlled and drawn out by him.

The sharp blade slashed diagonally from bottom to top with an unexpectedly rapid speed, directly slicing open Zhao Hao's clothing, cutting his abdomen open.

Such an action was really just a blink of an eye, nobody expected that Zhao Hao's sword would fly out, injuring its owner.

Exactly because it wasn't anticipated, coupled with the fact that the sword was indeed incredibly sharp, although Zhao Hao's protective clothing was a magical treasure, it was still cut open.

A foot-long gash was cut open on Zhao Hao's abdomen, blood spurted out like a crimson waterfall, such a scene truly was delightful to behold.

Wang Xuan looked at this scene, the corner of his mouth turned up in a smile, the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo proved successful, mastering the sword he never imagined would be this powerful.

With a thought, Zhao Hao's sword resonated and was instantly controlled by him, becoming his weapon for a short time. Perhaps at that instant, the sword considered him to be Zhao Hao, hence was extremely obedient.

"Zhao Ritian, why did you cut open your own belly? Are you planning to show us whether your heart is red or black?"

Wang Xuan's smile was so loathed by Zhao Hao. Everyone knows it was Wang Xuan's doing nine times out of ten, but there's no evidence.

Zhao Hao equally couldn't believe his sword was instantly controlled by Wang Xuan; knowing that kind of thing seldom happens, and doing it is exceedingly difficult unless Wang Xuan's realm is much higher!

"How exactly did you do it?!" Zhao Hao yelled.

Wang Xuan's skill is a huge threat to Sword Cultivators, if during a duel the Sword Cultivator's sword suddenly rebels along with Wang Xuan's attack, it's practically a life-or-death situation.

Wang Xuan was surprised: "Didn't you do it yourself? What has it to do with me? Where would I get such great ability to control your sword?"

Zhao Hao, aren't you dumb enough, using such a self-harming trick to frame me, truly hurting a thousand enemies while you harm eight hundred."

He shook his head, his words drew laughter from Chen Qingniu, Lin Xi, and others who were in shock, instantly making the atmosphere joyous.

"Seems like you have some tricks." Zhao Hao pressed his abdomen, as the flesh wriggled, the wound quickly healed, adhering together in a few breaths, and would completely recover within a quarter hour.

His physique indeed counts as mighty.

The treasure sword, which was manipulated by Wang Xuan and instantly attacked then flew away for hundreds of miles, was already in his hand.

It emitted successive dragon roars, quivering as Sword Qi erupted, as if it would reveal its edge in the next moment, slaying Wang Xuan.

As the Peak of Earth Immortal, slaying an Earth Immortal First Realm is simple and easy, Zhao Hao is full of confidence.

"You've successfully aroused my anger." Zhao Hao sneered coldly.

He took step after step, while the Primordial Spirit Sword in Wang Xuan's Sea of Consciousness was ready to fly out at any time, once Zhao Hao moved, it would immediately attack, using his strengths to kill Zhao Hao.

Wang Xuan believes that if his current Primordial Spirit were to battle Zhao Hao's soul, the final victor would undoubtedly be him.

This battle divides only life and death, not victory or defeat.

The atmosphere between the two froze again, like a powder keg, not knowing when it would ignite.

Behind Zhao Hao and Wang Xuan were True Disciples from Celestial Sword Mountain and Immortal Martial Mountain, at this moment the power of the Mountain Gate was being demonstrated.

Suddenly, a gaze was cast over, it was from Zhou Chengwu, the number one of the third-generation disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain, this esteemed True Immortal.

Although people are unclear of which level Zhou Chengwu is at among the Star Lords, a Star Lord is a Star Lord, on par with second-generation disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain, effortlessly suppressing Celestial Immortals.

Zhao Hao's killing intent dwindled, Wang Xuan slightly sighed in his heart, knowing this battle won't happen because Zhao Hao wouldn't risk it.

"Zhao Ritian, you better live well, your life belongs to me and Senior Brother Chen. Sooner or later, we'll take your head."

Wang Xuan's gaze was fierce, a face full of killing intent, never before had he wanted to kill someone so badly, such malice had accumulated for a year.

Having reached this level, he already understood why a year ago Zhao Hao acted so recklessly, because with his status and strength, an ordinary person was killed just like that.

But this does not mean Wang Xuan agrees, especially when such a thing falls on himself. The moment Zhao Hao wanted to kill him and took action, a death grudge was already formed.

"You? Ridiculously laughable." Zhao Hao sneered disdainfully, even though Wang Xuan managed to injure him by sheer luck and cunning. But he is a Sword Cultivator, a strong figure in the Same Realm, with cultivation two Great Realms above Wang Xuan.

Such a gap cannot be bridged by little tricks.

Wang Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Zhao Hao, you're still the same, unruly and arrogant. Though talented, your pride is too overwhelming."

A person can have pride, which is an inner confidence that can form an invincible aura. But one cannot be arrogant, for arrogance makes one look down on everyone, becoming too self-righteous.

Hearing these words, Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes and laughed mockingly. His nominal master, a man named Fang Shan, had also said these things to him.

He once advised him to not be unruly and wild in dealing with people, to be mindful of his own virtues, as being wanton would spoil his fortune and invite enemies.

These words, he was too lazy to listen to, for there were few peers worthy of his acknowledgment. On the path to the summit, a strong person only has enemies, no need for friends!

Without a heart like a Taotie, how does one devour mountains and rivers!

Zhao Hao stretched out his palm, activating a part of his Dharma Body, instantly pointing down a finger dozens of meters long, charging straight at Wang Xuan.

Without a sword drawn, there was no intention to kill, and Zhou Chengwu had no reason to act.

"Good coming!"

Wang Xuan shouted, the Primordial Spirit Sword had a special connection with heaven and earth, causing his speed to suddenly soar to thirty times the speed of sound, comparable to some newly-entered Celestial Immortal experts.

The giant finger was left behind, while he charged at Zhao Hao with a knife in hand.

His speed was so fast, surpassing even what Zhao Hao could achieve, and as the knife came down, Zhao Hao could only block with his sword.

The mutated Primordial Golden Core, Wang Xuan, had already become powerful to a certain extent in the Same Realm, his physique comparable to the Peak of Divinity Transformation, coupled with the mighty Golden Core Power and unmatched speed, making ordinary Dharma Body Cultivators only able to dodge.

A massive force poured out, creating a big hole under Zhao Hao's feet in an instant, yet Wang Xuan's knife was taken head-on by him.

"A boy who achieved success overnight!"

Zhao Hao roared, waving his sword in a thousand strikes, enshrouding Wang Xuan with a seamless net, but Wang Xuan had already dodged with astonishing speed.

He was shocked, or rather, in awe.

Wang Xuan's cultivation speed was already fast, but the combat power displayed in the Sky Realm was truly astonishing, unattainable by ordinary Dharma Body Cultivators.

With strength, speed, and Golden Core Power surpassing cultivators of the Same Realm, Wang Xuan could rival those a Great Realm higher, even stronger.

Such performance is no longer a prodigy, but an indescribable demon!

Wang Xuan, retreating, flew out one Cyan Lotus after another from his Dantian, circling and enveloping Zhao Hao, then condensing into lotus seeds that exploded instantly.

These Cyan Lotuses were all his reserves, and just this strike consumed half of his Golden Core Power.

Like thousands of missiles exploding, Zhao Hao was momentarily occupied with defense, while his senses were disrupted in the chaos.

In the instant of chaos, Wang Xuan poured massive Golden Core Power, the Thunder Dragon within the Ten Thousand Jins Thunder Dragon flew out, charging straight at Zhao Hao.

The Thunder Dragon roared, directly blasting open the consumed Magical Power shield.

"Blade Cleaves Hua Mountain!"

Wang Xuan struck with all his might, drawing all of Zhao Hao's attention.

"You're courting death!" Zhao Hao shouted furiously.

A sword light flashed, and with a clanging sound, Wang Xuan's knife split in two, cut directly by the sword.

Zhao Hao, thinking he was advantageous, charged forward. At such close range, he was sure he could entangle and severely wound Wang Xuan, even kill him!

But in that instant, a mighty Divine Thought Sword materialized from the void, already pressing against Zhao Hao's neck.

Such a Divine Thought Sword, condensed with all of Wang Xuan's Spiritual Power, was for this one sword!

How fast is a person's thought? A single thought can reach instantly, faster than light, and certainly ten times faster than Wang Xuan's blade!

And the two were less than two meters apart.

At such speed, it was unavoidable! The power of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo revealed completely at this moment!

The Divine Thought Sword passed straight through Zhao Hao's neck, slicing through and cutting off Zhao Hao's neck in one stroke,

Poof!

Zhao Hao stared in disbelief as his head fell, a gush of hot blood rushing up, soaring a hundred meters high.
