Chapter 746 The Great Battle Against the One-Eyed Man

As the earth wall shattered, a formidable power surged towards Zhang Tian's face.

Following closely, the golden light was broken through, and the protective layer around Zhang Tian began to emit cracking sounds.

"Is this punch this powerful?"

"This is the power sealed for thousands of years."

Zhang Tian was greatly shocked.

How much stronger would it be if it hadn't been sealed?

Without daring to speculate further, the sand fist had already landed in front of his forehead.

Hu Xue gathered a surge of power in her hand, ready to strike.

But before Hu Xue's power could surge, the next moment, a bolt of lightning struck down again.

Following this, it was as if countless dust motes were flying in the darkness.

"A blue lightning arc?"

Hu Xue frowned as she looked at the lightning arc before her.

At this moment, Zhang Tian's figure rapidly retreated.

Using the blue lightning, Zhang Tian managed to block this strike.

However, Zhang Tian's stamina had been considerably depleted.

Zhang Tian had now replaced his horsetail whisk with a peach wood sword.

Zhang Tian knew that if he were to cast a spell with the horsetail whisk, its power might be greater.

But the one-eyed man before him clearly wouldn't give Zhang Tian the chance to cast spells.

Therefore, Zhang Tian planned to engage him in close-quarters combat.

At the same time, as the smoke dissipated, Zhang Tian silently left a white crystal under his feet.

The one-eyed man's strength was immense, at least a realm higher than Zhang Tian's.

If Zhang Tian wanted to win, he had to resort to underhanded tactics.

"Kid, your Daoist arts are indeed powerful, capable of blocking one of my strikes."

"However, you won't have another chance."

As the one-eyed man spoke, he waved his hand, and a spear made of sand appeared in his grip.

The yellow spear seemed more solid than iron, and with each swing, sand seemed to fly.

"Sandstorm!"

The next moment, the one-eyed man swung his spear, and a massive desert tornado erupted.

The tornado formed almost instantly, and then it hurtled towards Zhang Tian.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian drew a talisman in front of him with his peach wood sword.

"Wind, cloud, and fire arise, Fire God aid me."

Zhang Tian drew a fire talisman.

The talisman paper was even mixed with some blue lightning arcs.

"This fire talisman seems different from others."

"Its power is several times greater than before. Did he add that lightning arc?"

Hu Xue mused as she watched the fire talisman Zhang Tian drew.

She realized that Zhang Tian's technique was formidable.

This was likely still the most basic level; if Zhang Tian advanced further, he might become even stronger.

Thinking this, Hu Xue couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Zhang Tian was still so young, and in a few more years, he might indeed become much stronger.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the firestorm mixed with blue lightning approaching, the one-eyed man looked at Zhang Tian with a hint of surprise.

"Your blue lightning can be mixed into your attacks. It seems you've been hiding something, kid."

As he spoke, the sandstorm reached Zhang Tian's firestorm.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, neither yielding an inch.

As the two powers met, Zhang Tian, holding his peach wood sword, charged forward.

"The blue lightning is strong, but I can't sustain it for long. I must finish this quickly."

Zhang Tian thought to himself as he closed the distance to the one-eyed man.

The peach wood sword emitted blue lightning arcs, and he thrust it directly towards the one-eyed man's vital point.

"His footwork-based techniques are likely not his strongest, otherwise, with his current strength, he should have been able to move through the air already."

Hu Xue remarked with admiration, observing Zhang Tian's speed.

"Clang clang!"

"Hmph!"

The one-eyed man grunted, his spear and Zhang Tian's wooden sword colliding repeatedly.

Waves of killing intent washed over them.

"To be honest, you have potential, but that's all. If my strength hadn't halved, you wouldn't have been able to get this close."

As he spoke, he swung his spear.

Although his strength had diminished, the one-eyed man's spear skills had not.

This was likely ingrained in his very being.

"Bang bang bang."

Zhang Tian's wooden sword met the attacks incessantly, even making his hand ache from the impact.

Zhang Tian was inwardly shocked by the man's immense strength, while he continued to defend.

Meanwhile, within the illusory space.

Queen Jingjue watched Zhang Tian battle the Serpent God. Her face remained impassive, but her hands had quietly clenched into fists.

"It seems his strength has indeed declined significantly over the past millennium."

"However, this is likely not his full power."

Queen Jingjue mused, a hint of seriousness in her gaze.

If Zhang Tian were to be utterly defeated, Queen Jingjue would not stand by and watch him fail.

After all, the illusory space was currently in Zhang Tian's possession; if the Serpent God were to seize it, she too would suffer greatly.

"But how did his strength increase so rapidly?"

Queen Jingjue wondered, observing Zhang Tian, who was fighting the one-eyed man without showing any signs of inferiority.

She knew that when Zhang Tian had previously visited the Jingjue Ancient City, his strength was very low, but now, he wasn't even afraid of the Serpent God.

While pondering, her gaze remained fixed on the unfolding scene.

Zhang Tian's continuous battle with the Serpent God caused his internal true qi to be consumed rapidly.

Seeing Zhang Tian gradually losing his strength, a smile began to creep onto the one-eyed man's face.

"As expected, your strength has increased too quickly, but your dantian hasn't been fully developed yet."

"Your true qi is simply insufficient to support you in unleashing your full power."

The one-eyed man stated calmly.

Simultaneously, with a wave of his hand, his sand spear instantly transformed into a cloud of sand mist.

As the mist spread, it then enveloped his fist.

It was clear he was preparing to unleash his most powerful strike.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian quickly retreated.

"I am very grateful that you could tell me this."

"Your reminder is very useful to me."

Zhang Tian expressed his gratitude.

If not for the one-eyed man's reminder, Zhang Tian might have remained in the dark.

From this point onward, Zhang Tian had a clearer direction to move forward.

Therefore, the one-eyed man was somewhat useful.

"What's the use of saying all this? Once I occupy your body, I might be able to leave this demon tower."

The one-eyed man's lips curved into a smile.

The malevolent spirits here were mostly in a state of death.

As long as he occupied Zhang Tian's body,

Then, Zhang Tian's memories, everything about Zhang Tian, would become his.

And Zhang Tian's blue lightning.

He was certain that he would achieve more than Zhang Tian ever could!

"Occupy my body? Soul possession?"

"Sorry, you won't have that chance."

Zhang Tian said, waving his hand. His peach wood sword began to gradually accumulate blue lightning.

The one-eyed man let out a hearty laugh.

"With your current strength, do you think you can kill me?"

"Even the person in your space wouldn't be of any help."

He said, pointing at the jade pendant on Zhang Tian's neck.

Zhang Tian, however, calmly shook his head.

"I think you might have misunderstood."

Zhang Tian stated calmly.

He waved his hand again, and the next moment, faint white lights began to appear in the surrounding dark space.

"This is... a formation!"

Suddenly, Hu Xue exclaimed.

Her eyes widened considerably.

Even the one-eyed man was stunned. When had Zhang Tian set up a formation?!
