Chapter 1478: Sooner or Later, I'll Kill You
The two big shots, each leaders of their own sects, decided the fate of half of those present with just a few words!
As Ouyang Zi's voice fell, the people around, whether they were disciples from the Purple Cloud Pavilion or from the Refining Sect, all took many steps back.
They understood very well that Ouyang Zi and Wuji Zhenren were likely about to duel.
"Hey, why did Wuji Zhenren agree to the duel? Does he really think he can beat Ouyang Zi?"
On the other side, Xue Yi gently tugged at Bai Xiaofan's sleeve, softly inquiring.
"What else could he do but agree? Should he just watch the entire Refining Sect be wiped out by the Purple Cloud Pavilion?"
Bai Xiaofan's voice carried a hint of helplessness. Ouyang Zi's cultivation was indeed too strong, and Wuji Zhenren had probably anticipated this long ago!
Just as Wuji Zhenren said before, the most important thing is staying alive. As long as you are alive, there is hope for everything, including rebuilding the Refining Sect!
"Sigh, I think it's over. Ouyang Zi's level of cultivation has definitely surpassed the True Immortal stage; he might have already reached the Heavenly Immortal stage. In such a situation, unless Wuji Zhenren has also reached the Heavenly Immortal stage, even if he exhausts himself to death, he can't defeat Ouyang Zi!"
Xue Yi shook her head, seeming very resigned, yet her beautiful eyes were fixated on Bai Xiaofan, as if plotting something!
"Why are you looking at me like that? What can I do about the fight? You've said it yourself, Ouyang Zi may already have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal stage. If I step up, I'd be seriously injured in just one move!"
Bai Xiaofan found it hard to understand while saying this to Xue Yi, who was staring intently at him.
He thought to himself, doesn't she know what techniques I have?
"Is there really no special move that I don't know about? For example, your Nine Steps of the Heaven, how many steps can you actually take? If it can be used indefinitely, with your abilities, as long as you can boost yourself to the early Heavenly Immortal stage with this move, you would definitely have nothing to fear from Ouyang Zi!"
Xue Yi's bright eyes were twinkling as she spoke cautiously, fearing that speaking too loudly might be overheard by others.
"Are you truly clueless or just pretending to be? You've already said it's the Nine Steps of the Heaven, how many steps do you think I can take? Besides, with my current level of cultivation, four or five steps are my limit!"
Bai Xiaofan rolled his eyes helplessly. He indeed wished he could do it as she mentioned, but reality clearly did not allow for it!
While the two were speaking, Ouyang Zi and Wuji Zhenren had already started to fight.
As soon as they clashed, Bai Xiaofan and the others could see who would win and who would lose!
As they had guessed, Ouyang Zi had broken through the shackles of the True Immortal stage and reached the legendary Heavenly Immortal stage, with profoundly immeasurable power.
Wuji Zhenren, on the other hand, although having extremely high cultivation, had still not broken through to the Heavenly Immortal stage, remaining at the peak of True Immortal.
Just one step away, yet worlds apart.
At least in the eyes of Bai Xiaofan and the others, Wuji Zhenren was completely suppressed by Ouyang Zi, with almost every attack initiated by Ouyang Zi.
"Bai Xiaofan, are you not going to surrender? Wuji Zhenren's defeat is just a matter of time, and by then the Refining Sect will cease to exist!"
Bai Xiaofan could see the situation on the field, and naturally, Duan Laoguai could see it too. At this moment, he was looking at Bai Xiaofan with a proud and arrogant expression.
"Duan Laoguai, don't be too arrogant too early. Be careful, or I might join the Purple Cloud Pavilion and become Ouyang Zi's disciple. Then, sooner or later, I'll kill you!"
Bai Xiaofan sneered disdainfully and flipped a middle finger at Duan Laoguai.
Damn.
You're hundreds of years old, and you still dare to show off in front of me, who gave you the courage?
Sure enough, hearing Bai Xiaofan's words nearly choked Duan Laoguai.
Just like Bai Xiaofan said, if Bai Xiaofan really became Ouyang Zi's disciple, with his talent and the ample resources of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, his future cultivation would definitely soar, and breaking through to the True Immortal stage would only be a matter of time.
And once Bai Xiaofan broke through to the True Immortal stage, even though Duan Laoguai was currently at the late True Immortal stage, he would have no confidence of defeating him!
Boom, boom, boom!
Roaring sounds came from mid-air, as Ouyang Zi and Wuji Zhenren continually used their supernatural techniques, each move made with full force!
But precisely because of this, Wuji Zhenren had suffered quite severe wounds, while Ouyang Zi, on the other hand, remained unscathed.
The difference in their cultivation levels was crystal clear!
"Xue Yi, command that blood-colored puppet to go kill Zhang Huan for me first; eliminating one strong opponent is still one less to deal with!"
Seeing the situation, Bai Xiaofan softly instructed the Xue Yi beside him, then sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to quickly recover from his internal injuries.
Though aware that with his current abilities, he couldn't harm Ouyang Zi in any way, he couldn't just stand by and watch Wuji Zhenren die.
Since coming to this Xianxia realm, and even including his time in the lower realms, apart from a few women by his side, Wuji Zhenren might have been the kindest to him.
Wuji Zhenren had shown him kindness, and he couldn't just let him die without trying to save him!
"Alright, anyway, I believe Ouyang Zi wouldn't dare make a move against me!"
Xue Yi nodded helplessly. Others might not know who she was, but someone of Wuji Zhenren and Ouyang Zi's status would definitely be aware.
Swoosh!
A sound burst forth, as the blood-colored puppet sped through the air, rushing towards Zhang Huan in the distance.
Zhang Huan was so absorbed in watching that, sensing danger, he found himself unable to react in time. Hastily raising his palm, he collided head-on with the blood-colored puppet attacking him!
Bang!
A loud explosion!
Zhang Huan's body was thrown backward at high speed.
However, the blood-colored puppet showed no intention of stopping, continuing its relentless chase.
Seeing the blood-colored puppet nearing, Zhang Huan closed his eyes in despair, awaiting death's arrival.
But right at that moment, a massive surge of immortal energy struck, hitting the blood-colored puppet right on.
Bang!
The blood-colored puppet shattered instantly like a snowflake, turning into a shower of blood mist, disappearing before Zhang Huan and the crowd.
It wasn't until the blood-colored puppet dissipated that everyone noticed what had just transpired there.
Zhang Huan, still in shock, looked at the spot where the blood-colored puppet vanished, and up at Ouyang Zi in mid-air who had saved his life, feeling deeply shaken!
If it weren't for Ouyang Zi's timely intervention, he would have already been a dead man!
