In the darkness, it felt as if a pair of eyes were staring intently.
Zhang Tian took a deep breath.
He looked at Hu Xue behind him.
"I hope we can attack together, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get out,"
Zhang Tian said.
Hu Xue had watched the show for a long time, and Zhang Tian didn't mind.
But if she wanted to get out, she had to ensure her own safety.
Hu Xue smiled.
"I haven't even reacted, and you've dealt with all these things."
"Next time for sure."
Hu Xue said, implying that she didn't even need to act against those petty scoundrels this time.
Zhang Tian said no more, his gaze shifting behind him.
Zhang Tian sensed that something was approaching him from behind.
In the darkness.
Gradually, a terrifying pressure descended.
"It's here."
Suddenly, the normally calm Hu Xue's expression turned serious.
Even her aura underwent a change.
This was likely a battle stance.
Zhang Tian also held his whisk, knowing in his heart that whatever was sealed here had arrived.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
A gust of wind swept through the surroundings.
In Zhang Tian's sight, wisps of sand began to appear around him.
In the dark world, it felt like being in a desert.
Zhang Tian brushed the sand blown into his nose.
He frowned slightly.
"I finally know what brought me here. It turns out to be you, this thing."
Zhang Tian said, his gaze fixed on the situation in the darkness.
If he wasn't mistaken, the tornado outside before must have come from this entity.
"I didn't expect you to return, it's truly fate."
A voice echoed from within.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
It was a black-haired, one-eyed man.
His appearance was extremely peculiar.
He had only one eye on his face.
No nose, just a single eye and a mouth.
Small snakes seemed to be writhing in his black hair.
The man's face showed a strange expression.
He looked utterly bizarre.
Seeing the man before him, Zhang Tian's heart trembled.
This creature looked truly unique.
A one-eyed being, Zhang Tian had never seen anything like it.
"Could it be that lone-eyed serpents, when they transform, all look this strange?"
"If Xiao Bie also transformed, wouldn't it be..."
Suddenly, Zhang Tian thought of Xiao Bie.
That guy had a peculiar appearance. If Xiao Bie transformed, wouldn't he have a bell attached to his backside?
And his face would also be like this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tian quickly shook his head.
It was better not to let him transform.
"Lone-eyed serpent."
Hu Xue whispered from the side.
"What returned?"
Zhang Tian was completely bewildered.
He had never been here before, so how could he have returned?
Feeling a bit strange, he saw the one-eyed man standing directly in front of him, not far away.
"Hand over the illusory space, hand over that traitor, and I will give you a quick end."
The one-eyed man looked at Zhang Tian, his large eye constantly moving on his face.
Zhang Tian scoffed.
This guy was truly spouting nonsense, like eating mud.
Not only did he want his life, but he also wanted the illusory space. He was dreaming quite grandly.
"It seems there's no room for negotiation."
Zhang Tian said calmly. He had initially thought about whether they could talk, but now it seemed he had to fight.
"Hmph."
The man before him snorted, his figure flashed, and he transformed into a black shadow, lunging at Zhang Tian.
His speed was so fast that Zhang Tian almost didn't react.
Fortunately, Zhang Tian's strength was not weak. Almost instantly, his body began to dodge, and simultaneously, Zhang Tian's whisk transformed into a long sword, which he fiercely wielded.
Zhang Tian's swordplay was already at the second level. Countless illusory sword lights flickered around him.
Sword qi also leaped continuously.
The intense sword attacks produced a whistling sound as they cut through the air, but when Zhang Tian's attacks landed on the figure of the one-eyed man, they all turned into nothingness.
"Yu Lei Qian Xi, Lord Lei, aid me!"
Seeing his swordplay was ineffective, Zhang Tian's figure flashed again.
In the sky, dark clouds began to gather.
"Hmm? A Taoist priest!"
Upon seeing Zhang Tian's move, the one-eyed man's tone held a hint of surprise.
"He's at the Neidan stage. His cultivation isn't very high, but why can he control that Lei Gen Wood Sword?"
Seeing Zhang Tian, Hu Xue also pondered in her heart.
Logically, ordinary people couldn't wield the power of such a wooden sword.
Let alone Zhang Tian handling it so easily, it was very unusual.
"Could he have exceptional talent?"
Hu Xue thought, but suddenly, when she saw the one-eyed man's attack, her heart sank.
"Wait, this is the Ten Thousand Sandstorm. Why did he unleash this move so directly?"
Hu Xue frowned slightly, already brewing her own power.
She was well aware of the power of this move.
As Zhang Tian dodged, he suddenly froze when he saw the state of the one-eyed man before him.
He noticed that inexplicable yellow sand had begun to gather around the one-eyed man without him realizing it.
The yellow sand seemed to be everywhere, constantly converging around him.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian also felt a sense of doubt. Where was this yellow sand coming from?
But upon sensing the terrifying aura around him, Zhang Tian understood. This was a killing move!
"Holy crap, is this necessary? Shouldn't you test the opponent's strength first before unleashing a killing blow?"
"Why is he going straight for the kill?"
Seeing the vast expanse of yellow sand stretching across the land, Zhang Tian knew that this move would be difficult to dodge, and he would most likely have to withstand it.
Because Zhang Tian realized that this was a large-area attack, and he was already locked on. Unless his strength was far superior, he wouldn't be able to escape.
And Zhang Tian's strength was clearly inferior to this one-eyed man, so escaping was almost impossible.
Zhang Tian was unsure of the one-eyed man's strength, but judging by his attack, he was likely stronger than him.
"This is his killing move, the Ten Thousand Sandstorm. He once used this move to almost obliterate a city."
Hu Xue said from the side.
Zhang Tian... I thank you.
Hearing Hu Xue's words, Zhang Tian became even more serious.
"Taoist priest, all of you shall die."
He let out a furious roar, gathering boundless sand and dust in his hand. The sand transformed into a fist, directly aimed at Zhang Tian's vital point.
Countless grains of sand condensed in the air.
Each grain of yellow sand felt like a knife slashing at Zhang Tian.
"Earth Wall."
"Golden Light Wall."
"Lightning Strike!"
Zhang Tian frantically waved his hands.
He continuously formed hand seals.
The dark clouds that had long been gathering overhead instantly descended.
In the next moment, lightning arcs, an earth wall, and even a wall formed of golden light appeared before him.
"A mere trick."
Seeing Zhang Tian's method of defense, the one-eyed man sneered contemptuously.
The yellow sand enveloped his body, following closely behind.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the lightning arcs struck first.
The dark clouds overhead slowly dissipated. The lightning arcs, thicker than a wrist, struck the one-eyed man but seemed to have no effect.
Then, as the one-eyed man's fist landed on the earth wall, the sky full of yellow sand surged forward.
Zhang Tian sustained several wounds.
At the same time, the earth wall, like a thin sheet of paper, shattered instantly.
