Starting Cultivation During a Trip

”How’s your recovery? If possible, lend a hand?”

”Lend a hand with what?” Zhang Fan was taken aback for a moment.

”Of course, to kill and silence them.” Zhao Jie Xuan said as if it were a matter of course.

”Having seen and heard so much, shouldn’t they die?”

Zhao Jie Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sharp as a line, sweeping over the crowd.

”You intend to kill them all?” Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, instinctively asking.

”Do you mean to... spare the women?” Zhao Jie Xuan showed a thoughtful expression.

”...”

Buzz...

Just at this moment, the expressions of Qi Delong Dongqiang, Lin Jianyue, and even the Liu Brothers changed drastically. Instinctively, they took a step back, fully alert.

”Do you still have room to resist now?” Zhao Jie Xuan sneered.

At the Daluo Treasure Hall, the Primordial Spirits of Qi Delong Dongqiang and Lin Jianyue had already been suppressed by Zhang Fan and had yet to recover. As for the Liu Brothers, Zhao Jie Xuan didn’t even consider them serious opponents.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, Zhao Jie Xuan raised a hand. True Yang surged, and in a trance, it seemed as if a surge of blood appeared. Just like Li Changgeng’s ”Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book,” the power of his Primordial Spirit transformed into four blood-red long nails, shooting out like a flash of lightning, piercing directly into the Spirit Platforms of the four’s brows.

Bam...

The next moment, the bodies of Qi Delong Dongqiang, the Liu Brothers, and Lin Jianyue tensed up and fell to the ground simultaneously.

”You learned quickly.”

Zhang Fan stood up, walking over slowly, giving Zhao Jie Xuan a glance.

This skill, though not the real ”Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book,” bore its shape, and its power was two to three parts effective.

”Didn’t kill them?” Zhang Fan glanced over.

Zhao Jie Xuan had spared them considerably; the four’s Primordial Spirits were restrained, merely knocked unconscious.

”Those two are your people, handle them as you see fit.” Zhao Jie Xuan pointed to the Liu Brothers.

As for the Qi Brothers, Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang...

”Two Primordial Spirits in one body... I need to study this.” Zhao Jie Xuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

This kind of material wasn’t easy to find. Moreover, they were successors of Laojun Mountain, a status that could be well utilized.

As for Lin Jianyue...

”Little white rabbit, so white, two ears stood upright. After slashing arteries then veins, lying still, so cute...”

At that moment, a melodious phone ringtone echoed. Zhao Jie Xuan walked over, searched Lin Jianyue’s body, pulled out a phone, glanced at it, and then hung up.

”A living Rabbit is more valuable than a dead one, let’s keep it for now.” Zhao Jie Xuan said indifferently.

As he spoke, Zhao Jie Xuan pocketed the phone and turned to look at Zhang Fan.

”Want to chat?”

”Let’s chat.” Zhang Fan nodded.

The two walked over to the ruins, sitting face to face.

The feeling was strange, unusual.

”Didn’t expect Li Changgeng to be so hard to kill...”

Zhao Jie Xuan’s gaze darkened, with a flash of cold in his eyes.

After suffering heavy blows from the ”Group of Demons Birthday Celebration Painting” and the ”Golden Radiance Treasure Box,” he could still fight Zhang Fan to a standstill. In the end, his head suffered the power of a blow from the ”Golden Radiance Treasure Box,” and anyone else would’ve died a thousand times over.

You see, he had planned meticulously for this hunt of Li Changgeng.

”You tested me on the train to see if there’s a possibility of fusion?” Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Jie Xuan nodded: ”I am you, you are me... Whether I consume you, or you consume me, there’s not much difference...”

Good Gods, Evil Gods, and Divine Demons are essentially one. Once fused, they are Zhang Fan, yet not Zhang Fan.

Yesterday’s experiences forge me today, today’s experiences forge a new me.

Precisely because of this, when the Evil Gods initially fused, there was no disturbance.

But the Divine Demon is different. A trinity, once they achieve Divine Fusion, Zhang Fan will truly transcend tribulation. The most crucial part is, if the fusion succeeds, he will have taken a significant step beyond the ”Three Corpses Illuminating Fate.”

This is something the natural order does not allow.

Such heretical entities absolutely must not exist in this world.

”To deal with him, one must achieve Divine Fusion. I knew during the test on the train that it was hopeless...” Zhao Jie Xuan said calmly.

Divine Split is difficult, and Divine Fusion is even harder.

If Zhang Fan hadn’t cultivated the ”Divine Demon Holy Embryo,” it might have been possible, but as he is now, his Primordial Spirit is too unique.

Zhao Jie Xuan knew this well too, and he prepared various means. But to deal with Li Changgeng, one must be prepared for the one-in-a-million chance.

Zhang Fan was that backup plan. Since Divine Fusion wasn’t possible, he began to ponder the Qi Brothers’ ”Primordial Spirit Unification Technique,” as this Technique held great reference value.

But little did he expect...

”I was careless, didn’t expect him to possess two types of Daoist Divine Techniques, and one happens to be life-saving.” Zhao Jie Xuan said in a serious tone.

Li Changgeng’s strength was indeed more formidable than he had imagined, but the current Zhang Fan wasn’t in a perfect state either. Fundamentally, he had not transcended tribulation, merely exploiting the ”Primordial Spirit Unification Technique.”

Li Changgeng was weakened, and Zhang Fan wasn’t at full strength...

This was their second confrontation, still arguably a tie.

”He’s damn hard to kill.” Zhao Jie Xuan gritted his teeth.

”He practiced Heaven and Earth Stealing Fortune, naturally possessing extraordinary fortune. If he were so easy to kill, he wouldn’t be a successor of White Crane Temple.” Zhang Fan said in a serious tone.

”Not without gain, though. This time, we at least understand each other’s foundation.” Zhao Jie Xuan nodded.

”Next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death.” Zhang Fan was clear as a mirror internally.

Ten years ago, beneath Dragon Tiger Mountain, he and Li Changgeng met for the first time, also their first bout, young dragons encountering each other, king meeting king.
