My Master Knows It All

342: Chapter 154 Facing Life and Death, Immortals Are Mortal_1 342: Chapter 154 Facing Life and Death, Immortals Are Mortal_1 Cao Zhen always believed in one saying, “Strike first to gain the upper hand, hesitate and suffer the consequences.”

If you want to fight someone, first you blather on to give them time to prepare and then strike, isn’t that foolish?

Therefore, when he discovered the overwhelming death aura here, he took action immediately.

Such heavy death aura, and these three had been guarding this place day in and day out without reporting it, clearly indicating something was amiss.

However, he didn’t expect that the strength of these three would be stronger than he had anticipated, with each of the three at the third level of the Golden Core.

After Fa Xiang and Fa Shi made their moves, Fa Sha among the three also took action.

In his hand, a huge fan appeared, and with a vigorous fanning motion, he propelled it forward.

In a desolate wasteland, a fierce wind suddenly arose, swiftly transforming into a tornado.

In the mountains, dust was lifted by the breeze, and huge stones were picked up by the fierce wind, hurled into the tornado only to be instantly shredded into endless dust by the wind blades, which then converged into the tornado and swept toward the direction of Cao Zhen.

For a moment, the entire space turned grey and dim, even giving one the illusion of being caught in a desert amidst a terrifying dust storm.

The force of the tornado seemed to be so strong as if it could uproot the surrounding mountains.

Within the tornado, each wind blade was as sharp as a blade that could easily cleave through gold and split stone.

Wherever the tornado passed, even the ground was stripped away layer by layer, and the thick soil was instantly ground into powder.

Lan Pili looked gravely at the approaching tornado.

Even before it arrived, the intense force of the wind felt like sharp scythes against his face.

Suddenly, Zhao Captor’s body flew up behind him.

Lan Pili quickly took to the air, grabbing Zhao Captor and retreating backward in flight.

Zhao Captor was just an ordinary person; he was useless in such a battle.

This is the difference between mortals and cultivators.

This was also what he couldn’t understand.

How did the martial immortal Helian Baitian, with a mortal’s body, manage to defeat a powerful Earth Immortal back then?

And that was just a Divine Skill displayed by a Golden Core.

What if it had been deployed by an Earth Immortal?

In front of the two men, black and white beams of light emerged around Cao Zhen’s body, on which complex textural phantoms appeared, leaping and twisting within the beams, while the beams themselves rotated continuously around him.

The next moment, the tornado, composed of countless sharp wind blades, had already enveloped Cao Zhen.

“Peak Master Cao!”

As Lan Pili retreated, his face changed drastically.

From such a distance, he could feel the horror of the tornado’s sharp edge.

Such divine skill, he didn’t doubt, could instantly grind a real mountain into powder.

Peak Master Cao…

The tornado howled, and the wind blades ran wild.

The black and white beams around Cao Zhen rotated even faster, and the intricate characters from an indiscernible era inscribed within shone with golden light.

They emitted an ancient and mystical aura, amalgamating into what seemed like golden armor, protecting Cao Zhen in the middle.

All around him, countless sharp wind blades fell, striking the characters bathed in golden light as if they were sharp blades hacking at a sturdy city wall, producing clear, ringing sounds.

Record of Deities and Demons!

That lad Xiang Ziyu, after achieving the Great Perfection Golden Core, the first divine skill he practiced was the haphazardly cultivated Record of Deities and Demons.

Moreover, compared to Xiang Ziyu, not only was he proficient in the Record of Deities and Demons, but he was also an expert in the Gold Light Spell.

If they were of the same cultivation realm, his defense would be stronger than Xiang Ziyu’s, no weaker!

Amidst the assault of the tornado, Cao Zhen’s hands gathered yet again the purple thunder, blasting it fiercely toward Fa Sha.

Instantly, a thick purple thunderbolt plummeted from the sky, with electrical sparks flashing around it, the violent aura seemingly exploding the surrounding air.

Five-thunder Righteous Method!

The Five-thunder Righteous Method, enacted through a Heretical Golden Core!

The formidable power of the thunderbolt arrived in the blink of an eye.

But the next moment, seas of mana once again converged in the sky above, forming a barrier over Fa Sha’s head.

For a time, the seas of mana surged wildly, as if an endless ocean had suddenly spawned a tsunami.

The purple thunderbolts, visibly to the naked eye, ferociously destroyed the surrounding seas of mana.

This was the Five-thunder Righteous Method at the limit of Perfect Completion Golden Core, a divine skill that Zhang Daoling was proficient in!

“Bang!”

The boundless ocean of mana, under the bombardment of the Five-thunder Righteous Method, suddenly broke open a large hole, and the unparalleled power of the thunderbolt poured down.

But the next moment, above Fa Sha’s head, a mountain phantom emerged.

This mountain seemed to be connected to the earth below, with a torrent of immense solidity surging forth to withstand the attack of the Five-thunder Righteous Method.

Cao Zhen’s expression turned grave as he watched his thwarted Five-thunder Righteous Method.

If there were only one person, he was highly confident he could defeat them.

However, he was facing three individuals, each at the third level of the Golden Core.

Although his divine skills were stronger, after all, he was only at the Core Formation Stage.

Behind, Lan Pili, looking at Cao Zhen who was unharmed even as the fierce winds dissipated, suddenly showed surprise in his eyes.

He knew Cao Zhen was extremely powerful.

Although there had been few records of Cao Zhen taking action within the Hundred Peaks Sect, and he had never seen Cao Zhen in combat,

by the grand competition of the Hundred Peaks, from his disciples’ performance, one could infer that Cao Zhen’s combat strength must be incredibly strong.
