My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1709: Battle Against the Patriarch

But Xiao Zheng ultimately did not strike down with that sword, and Tian Yin did not show any fear of death.

Because a hand that was almost withered grasped Xiao Zheng’s wrist. It was a hand so thin it resembled a dried branch, seemingly so weak that an ordinary mortal could easily snap it, yet the power contained within forced Xiao Zheng to wear a grave expression.

"Before I die, Tian Yin cannot die."

This was the first thing he said, like a drop of dew dripping into the water, causing ripples to splash out. Then, the buzzing sound rose higher and higher, striking Xiao Zheng’s eardrums!

Xiao Zheng’s expression changed slightly, feeling as if the sound transformed into thousands of tiny needles, forming waves that charged towards his consciousness sea through his eardrums!

Spiritual Power!

He instantly raised his sword, slashing at the air to force the shriveled old man’s hand away, and leapt ten feet away. Meanwhile, the spiritual power in his mind exploded instantly, shredding the invading needle waves into pieces!

The hunched old monk slowly raised his dim eyes, and at the moment he saw Xiao Zheng, a bright light seemed to flash in them.

"This Needle Forest technique of mine has not been witnessed in fifty years, and none have withstood it for the last century. Today, you receive it; regardless of the outcome, you can smile in the afterlife."

Feeling a throbbing pain in his mind, Xiao Zheng’s expression was fully replaced by grave sternness. This opponent was no longer like Tian Yin or Xuan Yin, mere disciples, but the strongest person among Huaxia Martial Arts’ one sect, reigning for nearly a hundred years!

Any slight negligence would result in the most tragic outcome!

Xiao Zheng knew clearly that if he lost again to this person, both Sky Net and himself would face catastrophic disaster, plummeting ever since!

Therefore, in this battle, he must not lose!

Xiao Zheng looked directly at the hunched old monk, his body slowly standing upright, spoke slowly: "Ever since my training began, I have been injured, killed people, seen dead bodies, and experienced death firsthand. My cultivation depends on myself, not through anyone’s charity, nor relying on any extraordinary talent or gifts. Life and death are but trifles, today’s battle should be the pinnacle battle of my life, also the battle proving my path!"

Xiao Zheng’s hands clenched fiercely, and the Gang Qi within poured out without reservation, the bones throughout his body crackling under the surge!

The vast Gang Qi enveloped the hot fierce wind, sweeping through the entire Jingxin Hall, instantly reversing the chill temperature after the old man’s appearance, while a cold shout filled with killing intent erupted from his mouth!

The experiences of hovering between life and death over the years have given Xiao Zheng an extremely resilient heart, as well as supreme confidence, never shrinking back when facing anything!

Boom!

Only hearing the cold shout drop, Xiao Zheng’s right fist quickly gathered Gang Qi, his arm quivered outward, an exceedingly potent force surged up, as his foot stomped fiercely downward, and charged violently towards the hunched old monk!

Xiao Zheng’s right fist slammed directly at the old man, but just as he was about to land the punch, the old man finally moved. That withered left hand, like skin and bone, slowly emerged from within the Kasaya robe, carrying icy Gang Qi that even Xiao Zheng must gravely face, suddenly connected with Xiao Zheng’s right fist like lightning!

The moment they touched, a gust of force about to sweep the entire hall like ripples surged out, cracks splintering under their feet spreading apart!

Tian Yin, collapsed under Buddha Master, had long left this place, standing on a distant platform, gazing at this pinnacle battle that will decide Huaxia’s future direction!

Meanwhile, Long Qie and his companions retired to a safe distance when Xiao Zheng made his move, not planning to intervene in this fight. They understood that the battle between these two in the field was not one ordinary people could partake in!

Boom!

With a deafening boom, after the two exchanged fists for a moment, they finally separated. Xiao Zheng groaned lightly, his toes tapping the ground briefly, swiftly retreating, feeling a dull ache in his chest, having suffered a minor setback in the first clash!

Clearly, Buddha Master, long at the Martial God Peak, has built an incredibly solid foundation for himself and has much richer experience in battles at the Martial God Peak level. Xiao Zheng, new to this level, though equally cultivated, lacks slightly in experience and cannot confront Buddha Master directly!

"Great Freedom... Fate."

Amidst the dust, the hunched silhouette struck a seal, a fierce golden swastika palm print roaring towards Xiao Zheng!

Facing Buddha Master’s sudden fierce attack, Xiao Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, his mind stirred, golden Gang Qi flickered between his steps, rapidly retreating to dodge!

Seeing the attack fail, Buddha Master’s cloudy eyes flashed coldly, his hands transformed the spell again, instantly casting numerous swastika palm prints, surging fiercely towards Xiao Zheng!

Xiao Zheng’s expression hardened, his steps halted instantly, the golden palm print carried a scent of death he hadn’t felt for a long time!

He coldly snorted, Mystical Sky Battle Sword in his hand erupted with supreme brilliance, dense sword shadows emerged one after another, in an instant, countless sword lights enveloped him within ten feet!

Boom boom boom!

The golden palm prints collided with the silver sword shadows within Xiao Zheng’s surroundings, creating chained explosions, surging energy frenzy akin to a roaring flash flood, sweeping across the venue, shaking the entire hall!

Long Qie and others watched this fierce pinnacle battle dumbfounded, excitement gradually appeared in their eyes, watching the Martical God Peak battle of these two closely would greatly benefit their cultivation!

Tian Yin on the high platform now wore a conflicted expression, his mind held such thoughts, but he was more concerned about the battle’s outcome. Though Buddha Master now had the upper hand and seemed to be suppressing Xiao Zheng, but he knew Xiao Zheng’s character very well!

He will not sit idle and wait for death!

Boom!

With another roar, when the final palm print exploded with the Mystic Sky Sword Shadow, Xiao Zheng’s silhouette suddenly trembled amidst the dust, disappeared from where he stood!

Buddha Master’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a warning arose in his heart. At that moment, his hand transformed the spell, eight beams of golden Gang Qi shot violently from beneath his feet, sweeping horizontally across the surrounding space like lightning!

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly emerged from the hidden space; Xiao Zheng’s figure suddenly appeared behind Buddha Master. Facing the immense Gang Qi pillar, a trace of sneer appeared on Xiao Zheng’s lips, his palm gripped fiercely, Platinum Gang Qi erupted across his entire body, blanketing his hand instantly!
