The Mortal's Path to Immortality

As an outstanding existence among the peak cultivators of the Refining Void Realm, Ji Zhan has learned a lot on the road of cultivation.

He is not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also has some experience in physical skills.

However, compared with Cao Rui, who has practiced physical skills to the extreme with experience beads, Ji Zhan's attainments in physical skills are obviously slightly inferior.

When the two of them fought in close combat, Cao Rui, who was at full power, showed amazing strength and suppressed Ji Zhan.

Cao Rui's figure was as erratic as a ghost, and each blow contained tremendous power when his fists and palms crossed.

Although Ji Zhan resisted with all his strength, he still couldn't resist Cao Rui's violent attack.

It was another thrilling and fierce collision with sparks flying everywhere!

Cao Rui's eyes were like torches, staring at Ji Zhan's every move, not letting go of any slight flaws.

At the moment when Ji Zhan hesitated a little, Cao Rui made a swift move like a cheetah, accurately grasping the tiny loopholes in the opponent's reaction.

In a flash, Cao Rui flashed and displayed his ultimate martial arts boxing skills. The muscles of his right arm suddenly bulged, the black tortoise rune flashed, and with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, he punched straight at Ji Zhan's face.

The fist wind whistled past, carrying the force of thunder and lightning, as if to tear everything in front of him apart.

There was only a dull "bang" sound, deafening and terrifying.

Ji Zhan's head was like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. It was severely deformed in an instant, his facial features twisted together, and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. The scene looked extremely horrifying and unbearable to watch.

However, this degree of injury is nothing to a cultivator at the peak of the refining void and a cultivator who has practiced physical skills.

Ji Zhan, who suffered such a severe injury, did not change his expression at all.

He did not have the slightest intention of retreating. His eyes were steady, as if he had blocked the pain, and he quickly made a counterattack.

He clenched his left hand and held the hilt of the extremely heavy giant sword behind him.

The giant sword was pitch black, and the blade flashed with cold light. It was obvious that its sharpness was not comparable to ordinary weapons.

Ji Zhan held the giant sword with both hands, shouted, and slashed at Cao Rui with all his strength.

The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, cutting through the sky, bringing a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, as if it was going to split the enemy in front of him in half.

Facing Ji Zhan's extremely sharp sword, Cao Rui was not in a hurry, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

He gently waved the ethereal cloak on his body, and his whole body floated back like a light feather.

The agile and elegant figure seemed to be integrated with the surrounding air, and easily avoided Ji Zhan's fatal blow.

You know, the heavy sword in Ji Zhan's hand is indeed amazingly powerful, but because the sword is too heavy, even if it is reduced in size by special means, it still cannot change its huge weight.

Therefore, in this close-range battle, every time Ji Zhan swings the heavy sword to launch a slash, the speed will be greatly affected.

Previously, when he turned the heavy sword into a giant of a hundred feet, this defect was not easy to expose due to its wide attack range and huge size.

But now facing Cao Rui, who is agile and erratic, once Ji Zhan is forced to reduce the heavy sword to an ordinary size to deal with close combat, then this shortcoming will be infinitely magnified and become his fatal weakness.

After several moves, Ji Zhan quickly captured this obvious flaw.

He endured Cao Rui's violent punches, but finally found an opportunity.

Ji Zhan immediately put away the extremely heavy and mysterious spiritual treasure heavy sword in his hand.

The transparent flying sword in his other hand was like a meteor across the sky, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In the next moment, this transparent flying sword appeared behind Cao Rui without anyone noticing, and rushed towards Cao Rui's head with the force of thunder!

Facing such a sudden attack, Cao Rui reacted extremely quickly.

He turned around abruptly, and at the same time, he slapped backhand without hesitation.

There was a loud "bang", and a powerful physical force like a tidal wave surged out, directly hitting the rapidly attacking transparent flying sword.

Although this transparent flying sword has the magical ability to freely shuttle through the void, and its flight trajectory is even more bizarre and unpredictable, in front of Cao Rui's extremely terrifying physical strength, it was like a fragile fallen leaf blown away by the wind, and was instantly slapped away.

It must be said that although this transparent flying sword has the amazing characteristic of shuttling through the void, its power is relatively small.

It is fine to use it to destroy the magical power itself.

But it is obviously completely unable to break the defense when used to directly kill a powerful physical cultivator like Cao Rui.

In fact, it is more often used as an auxiliary means or to break the enemy's defense.

At this moment, while Cao Rui was busy dealing with the transparent flying sword, Ji Zhan seized the fleeting opportunity.

He moved smoothly and drew out the third sword from his back in one go - it was a spiritual treasure flying sword that shone with dazzling golden light!

Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel the powerful aura emitted by this flying sword.

There is no doubt that this is another top-grade spiritual treasure!

Buzz! With a sharp and piercing buzzing sound, Ji Zhan tightly grasped the flying sword that shone with brilliant golden light with both hands and swung it out suddenly.

Instantly, a sharp sword light whizzed down like lightning, slashing straight at Cao Rui with a frightening might.

Cao Rui was slightly startled when he saw this, and quickly turned his head to the side, staring at the rapidly approaching sword light.

The speed of this sword was beyond imagination, and it was many times faster than the heavy sword attack he had seen before! Even with Cao Rui's agile body, he found it difficult to dodge at this moment.

Seeing that there was no escape, Cao Rui made a quick decision, and his whole body instantly flashed a layer of dazzling basalt rune light.

As his mind moved, these runes quickly gathered together, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into a huge basalt phantom, which was horizontal in front of him.

However, the sword light came fiercely and hit the basalt phantom fiercely.

Bang! There was only a loud noise, and a strong energy fluctuation suddenly broke out where the two collided.

The power of Ji Zhan's attack was so strong that the black tortoise phantom condensed by Cao Rui trembled violently, as if it would collapse and dissipate at any time.

Cao Rui even felt a terrifying force transmitted to him through the black tortoise phantom, which made him groan and step back a few steps before he could barely stabilize his body.

"What a strong attack power!" Cao Rui was amazed in his heart.

Just this sword made him feel unprecedented pressure.

However, he did not retreat because of this. Instead, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, ready to meet Ji Zhan's next more fierce attack.

At the same time, the golden flying sword in Ji Zhan's hand still exuded a breathtaking cold light.

He raised his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Try my most powerful 'Shun Guang Likong Sword'!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved the flying sword in his hand again, and for a moment, the sword shadows were heavy, interweaving into an impenetrable sword net, covering Cao Rui all over the sky.

The reason why Ji Zhan chose to attack with the flying sword was not only because the flying sword itself was sharp and powerful.

More importantly, he also mastered a unique sword cultivation technique.

Through this unique technique, he can perfectly combine his physical strength with the power of the sword control technique, so that the flying sword can exert a terrifying power far beyond the ordinary!

"Spiritual Eyes Break Delusion!"

As soon as the cooling time was over, Cao Rui used his Spirit Eyes to hit Ji Zhan regardless of whether it had any effect.

Another flash of white light, and the netherworld energy of the Spirit Eyes Break Delusion disappeared instantly without a trace.

Whoosh! There was a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp sword light slashed towards Cao Rui like lightning.

Cao Rui's heart tightened, and his body flashed suddenly, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

However, despite his quick reaction, the terrifying sword light still brushed past his body, bringing a string of blood.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a layer of mysterious basalt rune light flashed on Cao Rui's body, barely resisting the power of this attack, so that he was not seriously injured on the spot.

But even so, the extremely solid basalt rune also flashed light and dark, as if it could break at any time.

"Damn it!" Cao Rui cursed inwardly, groaning in his heart.

He originally thought that with his profound cultivation and powerful physical strength, he could fight the enemy in close combat.

But he didn't expect that the opponent was holding a magic weapon, and the attack power was so amazing that he could hardly resist it with his bare hands.

This golden top-grade spiritual flying sword is extremely sharp. Combined with Ji Zhan's terrifying sword control technique, its power is even more amazing. Ordinary cultivators of the refining realm might be killed by him with just a single blow.

Seeing Ji Zhan swinging his sword again, Cao Rui dared not be careless anymore.

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and his right hand suddenly stretched out, tightly grasping the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword beside him.

In an instant, a vast and majestic sword energy gushed out from the sword body, like a roaring blue dragon, shocking people.

You have a top-grade spiritual flying sword! I have one too!

The moment he held the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, Cao Rui suddenly thought of a mundane sword technique that he had learned before.

Although this set of sword techniques was ordinary, it became his life-saving straw at this moment.

Without time to think about it, Cao Rui immediately performed this set of sword techniques and circulated the spiritual power in his body at the same time.

Under the influence of this ordinary martial arts, Cao Rui was able to skillfully combine the Five Elements Sword Controlling Technique with his own physical strength.

You have to know that Ji Zhan had studied for many years to achieve this.

As a result, when it came to Cao Rui, he copied it in a few minutes.

Perhaps it was because Cao Rui had a powerful spiritual consciousness far beyond that of ordinary people, or because his physical coordination was extremely good. When the two were perfectly combined, unexpected effects were produced.

His figure was seen floating like a ghost, and his speed was so fast that it was shocking.

At first, facing Ji Zhan's violent offensive, Cao Rui could only fight back and was completely at a disadvantage.

But as time went on, he gradually adapted to this battle rhythm and began to counterattack.

People came and went, neither gave in, and the fight was difficult to resolve for a while.

In the fierce confrontation, Cao Rui used the magical power of "Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion" from time to time to try to break Ji Zhan's soul defense, but of course the result was always in vain!

Cao Rui really didn't believe this evil. Energy couldn't disappear for no reason. Cao Rui wanted to see how long Ji Zhan could eliminate it!

The Lianxu cultivators did not control the flying swords to attack remotely, but held the swords to fight. This special sword fighting method made the onlookers dumbfounded.

But thinking carefully, it was reasonable.

With the level of the two, only holding the swords could they exert the sword control and physical strength at the same time.

In this way, a cup of tea passed.

After the spiritual eyes broke through the delusion again, Cao Rui finally caught a trace of anxiety on Ji Zhan's face.

"It should be almost time!"

Cao Rui's physical strength burst out, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword frame continuously forced Ji Zhan to fight.

Not giving Ji Zhan the slightest chance to make other plans.

When fighting with swords, Ji Zhan's flying sword is obviously more powerful, because his sword control is several levels higher than Cao Rui.

But Cao Rui has the blessing of martial arts swordsmanship from the mortal world, and when fighting, he is only slightly at a disadvantage.

"I lost."

After another fight, Cao Rui's Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion was about to pass the cooling time. Ji Zhan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he spoke lightly.

"But you won't win either..."

A white thing suddenly appeared in Ji Zhan's hand.

The thing flashed and appeared again, already in front of Cao Rui.

Cao Rui wanted to withdraw, but found that his body was imprisoned.

Cao Rui gritted his teeth and simply hit Ji Zhan with a Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion.

Sure enough, Ji Zhan lost the ability to eliminate the Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion.

This Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion easily penetrated Ji Zhan's mind.

Ji Zhan's soul was not that powerful.

After Cao Rui was promoted to the peak of the Refining Void, his consciousness increased by one third, and the Spiritual Eyes Breaking Delusion was also significantly strengthened!

Ji Zhan fell into a clear stagnation, and Cao Rui was about to swing his sword to behead him.

The white light suddenly came with a suction force, and the next moment, Cao Rui disappeared on the spot.

"Hmm? Where did the Cloak Ancestor go?"

"What is that? A teleporting magic treasure?"

"Hey! Ji Zhan, what are you doing!" The Red Cloud Vortex monks who were watching found that there was no trace of Cao Rui within the range of their spiritual sense observation.

Ji Zhan, on the other hand, paused for three seconds before coming to his senses with a pale face.

"What a terrible spiritual sense ability. Just one strike has severely damaged my soul. It will take at least several years to recover."

If Cao Rui had not been teleported away just now, three seconds would have been enough for Cao Rui to kill Ji Zhan.

He lost.

Ji Zhan glanced at the excited Red Cloud Vortex monks around him and knew that his performance of being dizzy for three seconds was indeed too poor and could not convince the crowd.

He did not want to explain anything.

Finally, he waved his hand and left with the members of the Blue Robe Star Pirates.

This battle ended with Cao Rui's disappearance and the retreat of the Blue Robe Star Pirates.
