Chapter 110: Battling Zhang Kui

Zhang Kui had a breakthrough in the secret zone with the help of the essence power tide and the Essence Power Pearl.

As an Advanced Foundation Plane cultivator, he had stabilized his plane before the battle forum. Perhaps that was what made him feel so good. He seemed less dull and more open.

“I wouldn’t dare to guide you!”

“The Path of Puppets is deeply profound. My comprehension doesn’t count. But if you want to beat me, you have to show me your capability,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile.

He had never fought with Zhang Kui, but they had discussed the Great Path at Tianyahai Pavilion.

They were familiar with each other.

Chen Jingzhai’s innate ability did not reveal Zhang Kui’s flaws, so he was not very confident. They both cultivated the sky scripture, so the spiritual power in their bodies was rich and pure. The difference in levels was very difficult to make up for, especially as their difference was the Beginning and Advanced stages. It was as far apart as day and night.

Chen Jingzhai could defeat Qiao Haisheng because he knew Qiao Haisheng’s flaws. However, when he faced Zhang Kui, he had to brace himself.

“Master-Uncle, you’re too polite! I am sincerely asking for guidance!” Zhang Kui said seriously as he stopped smiling.

At this moment, the jade token landed in the black and white fish eyes, and the Restriction disappeared.

Instantly, Zhang Kui summoned his puppet. It was a Golden Armor Puppet. It was slightly taller than Zhang Kui and looked like a general in golden armor. The puppet was completely golden with black patterns and had a red cloak on its back. The puppet held a black-striped spear in its hand. The tip of the spear was higher than its forehead.

“Kill!” Zhang Kui roared angrily. He picked up the Heavenly Hammer and smashed it at Chen Jingzhai.

This hammer had an extraordinary aura. A pressure swept over, shocking one’s mind!

Two swords appeared in Chen Jingzhai’s hands. They were the Golden Flame Sword and the White Jade Sword. With a casual wave of his hand, fiery sword vapor soared into the sky. It was obvious that the smaller the fiery sword vapor became, the higher the temperature.

Tian Feng, who served as Chen Jingzhai’s sparring partner, had helped him improve significantly.

The fiery sword vapor broke through the Heavenly Hammer and arrived in front of Zhang Kui. At that moment, the Golden Armor Puppet appeared in front of Zhang Kui in the blink of an eye and swept its spear across. The fiery sword vapor dispersed instantly, but the flames exploded at that moment. The ultra-high flames enveloped the puppet and Zhang Kui.

“Ha!”

Zhang Kui smashed his hammer on the Eight Trigrams Platform, and ripples of energy spread out. Then, with a splash, a wave appeared out of thin air under his feet. The waves washed away the flames. Zhang Kui stepped on the waves and rushed toward Chen Jingzhai.

“Interesting!” Chen Jingzhai’s eyes lit up.

He did not expect Zhang Kui to be able to use the Heavenly Hammer to cast spells. What was more, his attainments and power were not weak. Chen Jingzhai grabbed the White Jade Sword and stabbed Zhang Kui.

Cold air spread out. In a breath, the waves began to freeze.

Zhang Kui seemed to have expected this. He jumped up high and swung the Heavenly Hammer at Chen Jingzhai’s head. Chen Jingzhai was about to dodge when a cold light arrived behind his head.

It was the Golden Armor Puppet!

When did it get there?

Chen Jingzhai frowned slightly. With a thought, he disappeared on the spot.

[Bang!]

The spear missed, and the Heavenly Hammer only hit the Eight Trigrams Platform. However, the power of the ripple directly seeped into the Eight Trigrams Platform and interrupted Chen Jingzhai’s earth escape spell.

Chen Jingzhai was forced to reveal himself. He appeared near the center on the left side of the Eight Trigrams Platform. The Golden Armor Puppet instantly threw out the black-striped spear. The spear spun in the air, turning into a black poison dragon that bit at Chen Jingzhai.

Chen Jingzhai casually sent out a fiery sword vapor, but it was unable to harm the black poison dragon at all. He raised his eyebrows and suddenly threw the White Jade Sword. The White Jade Sword transformed into an ice-blue jade toad in the air and bit the black poison dragon. The cold air spread across half of the Eight Trigrams Platform and directly froze the black poison dragon.

When Chen Jingzhai looked back again, Zhang Kui had already walked into the golden puppet’s body. He was dressed in the Golden Armor Puppet’s suit of armor and held his Heavenly Hammer. He looked mighty and extraordinary.

“The warm-up is over, Little Master-Uncle! Now try my hammer!”

Zhang Kui laughed loudly and rushed toward Chen Jingzhai with the Heavenly Hammer in his hand. Then, like a meteor, Zhang Kui attacked.

Chen Jingzhai’s expression was strange as he disappeared instantly. On the ground, two vines wrapped around Zhang Kui’s legs.

Zhang Kui did not mind. With a move of his spiritual power, blades appeared on the legs of the Golden Armor Puppet. The blade turned and cut through the vines. Then, the blade flew out and charged toward Chen Jingzhai.

Chen Jingzhai disappeared in a flash, and the blade missed its target. The next moment, Chen Jingzhai appeared behind Zhang Kui. The Golden Flame Sword in his hand stabbed Zhang Kui.

The Heavenly Hammer in Zhang Kui’s hand smashed backward. The Heavenly Hammer was covered in dazzling golden light. This blow did not even touch Chen Jingzhai and his Golden Flame Sword. However, Chen Jingzhai was sent flying.

“What a powerful force. Your Golden Armor Puppet increases not only your speed but also your strength. It is extraordinary indeed. It’s just that we cultivators are not ordinary generals. There’s an extra layer of golden armor and an additional layer of restraint!”

Chen Jingzhai made his observation as he appeared in midair. With that, his figure flashed, and with a tap of his foot, the Golden Flame Sword left his hand.

The Golden Flame Sword transformed into a fire raven in the air and swooped down on Zhang Kui. Zhang Kui stood still, brandishing the Heavenly Hammer. With each blow, a golden hammer phantom collided with the fire raven.

At this moment, Chen Jingzhai’s hands were turning quickly, and the earth essence power was quickly mobilized. Then, an earth spike shot straight at Zhang Kui’s abdomen.

However, Zhang Kui did not care. He casually smashed the earth spike with his Heavenly Hammer. The exploded earth spike raised a cloud of dust.

After Zhang Kui blew out a breath and blew away the dust, he could not take another step. This was because there was a mud pit at his feet. Zhang Kui was sinking with the puppet.

“How is it?” Chen Jingzhai asked with a smile.

“It’s not over yet!” Zhang Kui shouted. “Explode!”

With a bang, the black poison dragon that was frozen in ice exploded in midair. The cold aura dissipated, and the White Jade Sword was sent flying with a buzz. The black poison dragon split into two, turning into two black and gold Krakens.

One on each side, they sped across the Eight Trigrams Platform and finally landed on Zhang Kui’s back, turning into a pair of golden wings. A golden light appeared on Zhang Kui’s golden armor. Brilliant light covered the golden wings, and even streams of light fell. It looked extremely dazzling.

Not only that but the cracks in the golden armor were being filled up. Even the eye area was repairing itself. Zhang Kui was completely covered in golden armor, looking like a golden-armored war god.

[Buzz! Buzz!]

The golden wings vibrated, and Zhang Kui easily broke free from Chen Jingzhai’s mud spell. He floated in midair and smashed the fire raven out of its prototype with the Heavenly Hammer.

The Golden Flame Sword hummed and flew into Chen Jingzhai’s hand. It had been hit hard. The power of the Heavenly Hammer was too focused. Chen Jingzhai hurriedly injected his spiritual power. Then, he grabbed the two swords and floated up.

The two of them had an extremely tacit understanding. They instantly activated their battle mode and started fighting in midair.

One was the most famous disciple of the Puppet Hall. He was covered in golden armor and had become one with the puppet. His Heavenly Hammer was mighty and made him resemble a god descending to the mortal world.

The other was the Little Master-Uncle of Daoxuan Peak. With two swords in hand, ice and fire became one. The sword vapor spun and swept through the world like a Sword Celestial.

The two abandoned the competition of spells and fought in the air. They did their best every time.

Many people were excited and secretly clicked their tongues. Unexpectedly, the dull, expressionless, and honest-looking Zhang Kui had a ferocious and violent side.

There was also Little Master-Uncle. He was very gentle, but now, he was abnormally fierce. They had thought that his spells were outstanding, but they did not expect his sword cultivation to be this good.

Even the disciples of the sword branches cheered secretly when they saw this.
