Chu Yang couldn't stand watching any longer. If he kept fighting like this, it would take ages to get through.
Fortunately, among the ten immortal methods he obtained from the 70% completion reward package last time, there was one suitable for Liang Zifan.
Liang Zifan extended his hand, trembling slightly, and said with shame, "Isn't this not very good?"
"What's not good about it? We're close, so why are you being shy?"
Chu Yang held the golden scripture page and slapped it directly onto Liang Zifan's forehead.
The audience watched this scene, all of them green with envy.
"Liang Zifan, you deserve to die! You deliberately lost so Immortal Brother could give you immortal methods?"
"Reporting this! There's foul play!"
"Damn it, Immortal Brother, I also want to challenge the eighth floor, why don't you give me some support?"
"Shut up, you haven't even passed the first floor!"
"..."
A new memory appeared in Liang Zifan's mind.
"Lightning Light Thousand Transformations..."
Before he could even say thank you, Chu Yang had already vanished.
Chu Yang no longer hid the fact that he was openly granting these people shortcuts, because everyone understood that the members of the Ice Sword Mercenary Group needed to reach the Immortal Emperor level within the limited remaining months to support the peak combat power of Blue Star.
Liang Zifan burst out laughing, "Haha! This time, I will definitely clear it!"
With a flash, he re-entered the Immortal Ascension Tower.
The figure of the Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor reappeared, just as before, carrying countless bolts of lightning and charging madly towards Liang Zifan.
The boundless killing intent clearly told Liang Zifan, "If you have the guts, come and face me!"
"I will!"
At that, the same lightning flashed, and Liang Zifan's figure flickered, then he completely dispersed, transforming into numerous thunderbirds.
"Lightning Light Thousand Transformations!"
The Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor swept across, shattering almost all the thunderbirds.
However, during the use of this skill, as long as they weren't all destroyed at once, each thunderbird could be his true form.
And so, from the side of the Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor, the thunderbird Liang Zifan had transformed into once again took on human form.
His face contorted, revealing a triumphant expression, and he raised his long saber.
"Raging Thunder Vajra!"
"Roar!"
The Raging Thunder Vajra, composed of golden lightning, reappeared. It then held a demon-subduing pestle and smashed towards the Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor.
The golden lightning struck directly down. The Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor was caught off guard and was hit directly by the blow.
Liang Zifan's eyes widened in surprise, "Haha! I hit you!"
"I'll finish you off... What the hell!"
Before he could celebrate, the injured Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor seemed to trigger another switch, and all the lightning around him converged towards Liang Zifan.
Liang Zifan tried to control the Raging Thunder Vajra to strike again, but the converging lightning erupted with a fierce roar.
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by an explosion, Liang Zifan was once again eliminated, filled with despair.
All the spectators clutched their heads in frustration.
Some even leaned back and cried out, "Why did you... Ai hai yo..."
Anyone could see that Liang Zifan had clearly paused for a moment when he landed the hit. Even a 0.1-second delay was a wasted opportunity for output.
Even Chu Yang was filled with questions. Damn it, was this kid celebrating prematurely? He hadn't won yet, so why the excitement!
Liang Zifan himself knew he had made a mistake, but he wasn't particularly remorseful; instead, he became very excited.
While the Nine Tribulations Lightning Emperor's offense was strong, his defense was rather mediocre. After being hit, Liang Zifan clearly felt the opponent's aura weaken significantly.
This was the impact of facing an immortal method head-on!
"Haha, I've got it! This time, I'll definitely be faster than Brother Hu!"
However, the next moment, he was stunned. On the Tower Climbing Hero Ranking, the eighth-floor position had refreshed, and Zhang Xiaohu's name was now displayed there.
Concurrently, all the people in the plaza let out a gasp of exclamation.
"Brother Hu is mighty!"
"Brother Hu is mighty!"
"..."
The crowd began to cheer excitedly. Some were even moved to tears.
Zhang Xiaohu's journey had been incredibly inspiring. They had witnessed this kid stand firm through repeated failures, each time improving a little more than the last, forcing his way through with sheer determination!
Liang Zifan was dumbfounded, "What the hell! Brother Hu is cheating, right?"
He panicked and immediately dove back in.
Let's rewind two minutes ago.
On his thirty-third attempt, Zhang Xiaohu's footwork became increasingly proficient.
Just as he charged forward, about to collide with the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he hurled the Six Paths Fire Wheel in his hand.
Facing the attack of this immortal artifact, the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor directly slashed down with his saber.
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up. He transformed into flames himself, spreading out from both sides of the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor and then condensing behind him.
Thus, the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor, unable to turn in time, was unexpectedly attacked from behind by Zhang Xiaohu.
"Sky-Soaring Tiger!"
With a tiger's roar, a massive fiery tiger appeared and fiercely pounced and bit towards the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor directly used "Dao Flame Burning Body," transforming his body into blazing fire, evading most of the damage.
However, Zhang Xiaohu showed no panic. This was within his expectations. He had learned this immortal method from the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor himself. As his teacher, there was no reason the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor wouldn't know it.
After nullifying most of the attack by elementally transforming, the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor reappeared. Scarlet flames coiled around his arm, gradually forming a massive fiery claw.
"Demon Flame Claw!"
This was a skill Zhang Xiaohu hadn't learned, and its lethality was immense.
For a moment, the void trembled. However, Zhang Xiaohu didn't dodge; he had his own skills!
"Fire Devouring Palm!"
Zhang Xiaohu unleashed a palm strike, and a red vortex appeared in his hand, gradually dissolving the "Demon Flame Claw" that the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor was attacking with.
But due to the gap in strength, he couldn't resist it at all.
So, his true trump card was: "Little Pearl! Attack him!"
The Floating Sinking Bead, which had been circling, paused and then, from behind the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor, suddenly struck!
For a moment, space collapsed.
This was unexpected by the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor, and he was hit hard.
Moreover, the artifact spirit of the Floating Sinking Bead, the young monk, stood atop the Floating Sinking Bead. He beckoned, and surprisingly, grasped the Six Paths Fire Wheel, then charged towards the Nine Heavens Blazing Emperor once more.
"Boom!"
For a moment, flames appeared accompanied by the sound of explosions.
The massive "Demon Flame Claw" pierced through Zhang Xiaohu's body, but he began to laugh.
"Apologies, Flame Emperor. Here, a mutual destruction... still counts as a win for me!"
