Jiang Ming's voice was calm and abrupt. Even when facing such a peerless prodigy, who had broken through to the Void Core Realm, he still did not panic.
His sudden interruption also shocked many geniuses.
Was he crazy? How could he be so arrogant in the face of someone who had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm? What was the difference between this and courting death?
To top geniuses like them, the gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Void Core Realm was even greater than the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm. Not to mention that the person who had established himself in the Void Core Realm was the number one genius of the Feather Kingdom, Mo Feng!
When he heard this, he turned to look at Jiang Ming. His expression was lofty as if he were a god overlooking mortals.
"That's right, it's time to end the fight for the Saint Cultivation Platform! Zhang Shan, you are not bad. I will give you one last chance. If you bow down now and become my follower, the crimes you have committed before will be borne by the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven. We can let bygones be bygones."
The moment he said that, the expressions of some of the geniuses from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven, the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, and even the Green Feather Cultivation Academy changed. What did he mean? For some reason, he actually wanted to let Zhang Shan off! Moreover, he wanted to recruit him as well!
Then wouldn't the top geniuses of their respective sects have died in vain?
However, no matter how shocked and resentful they were, no one dared make a sound now. Previously, Mo Feng was already invincible among the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Now that he had broken through to the Void Core realm, he could be said to be the best of his generation. No one dared provoke him.
"It seems like Zhang Shan's mysteriousness has intrigued him."
Huai Mei, Fang Yue, and the rest looked calculative. The strength that Zhang Shan had displayed was almost monstrous, and it was simply beyond their understanding. Even they were inexplicably tempted. If they could obtain all kinds of secret techniques from Zhang Shan, their strength would probably advance further.
"No thank you. I don't think I can bear that sort of burden." Jiang Ming shook his head and chuckled. "The road to hell is far. You'd better go down quickly and catch up with your friends."
Jiang Ming raised his hand. Between his fingers, streaks of red blood Qi flickered like flames. He shot a punch.
The blood Qi roared like a surging river, illuminating half of the sky. It turned into a huge square seal in the air and pressed down on him for no reason.
His gaze was strangely calm. He raised the spiritual energy sword in his hand and gently placed it in front of him. His slender fingers gently flicked the sword, and a rain of sword aura suddenly erupted. It was like a rainstorm of pear blossoms. With a clang, it directly pierced the square seal formed by the blood Qi and dissipated.
"You're courting death! Only the immortal path can lead to longevity. The part of martial arts is ultimately a wrong path!"
His eyes were cold and merciless. With a wave of his sleeve, the spiritual sword in front of him broke and scattered like dust. The golden light turned into countless bright petals as thin as insect wings and fell toward Jiang Ming.
For a moment, everyone was in a daze. It was as if what they saw was not a bloody battle but a magnificent fireworks display.
"What an exquisite spell, and an inexplicable attainment in immortal cultivation. He's no weaker than some expert Golden Core Realm cultivators!" Some of the more knowledgeable geniuses were shocked and somewhat dazzled.
Those flower petals were not just objects of beauty. Each of them contained an incomparably terrifying killing intent and was extremely sharp. Even if a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm touched them, they would probably be directly pierced through.
Such terrifying power would shatter even a high-grade magical tool. It would be impossible to withstand it!
"No matter how high one's martial arts attainments are, when facing a monstrous immortal cultivator, one will ultimately only be defeated." Many people shook their heads. Although Zhang Shan's martial arts talent was terrifying beyond compare, the power of martial arts still had flaws. How could the power of the physical body compare to all kinds of exquisite spells?
However, Jiang Ming did not retreat in the face of the terrifying attack. He lifted his foot and stepped forward.
"What does he want to do? Isn't he going to use defensive spells?"
All the geniuses were shocked as if they were looking at a madman. Half of his body would probably be destroyed by such an attack.
The gorgeous rain of petals finally approached and was reflected in Jiang Ming's pupils.
"I practice the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body, and I am immortal!" Jiang Ming whispered. Starlight flickered on his skin, and a wisp of the great cultivation spread out. His entire body seemed to be glowing, and it was as clear as jade. Standing in the rain of thousands of petals, he was like an indestructible god.
The attack swept over. The moment it landed lightly on Jiang Ming's body, it turned into the most terrifying storm of sword Qi and cut Jiang Ming's body crazily. However, there was a violent sound of metal clashing, as if it had cut the toughest metal in the world.
The petals withered in the collision, turning into specks of light and disappearing into the air.
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, was bathed in the rain of sword aura and petals. His body was glowing. He walked forward slowly as if he was not affected at all.
This was the first time the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body was used in a battle. Even the sword intent of a Void Core Realm cultivator could not break through Jiang Ming's physical defense.
He spread out his hand, and streaks of blood Qi shot out like crimson thunderbolts. They danced in the air and shattered the rain of petals.
