Chapter 219: Zero Two
============================================================

Su Cheng was also startled. Damn it, Xu Zhanfeng, aren't you a great power at the Fusion Stage?

Is this really necessary?

"Ah! Where's my clothes?!"

The woman flew back to create distance, summoning a divine sword with a flick of her wrist as she prepared for battle!

But…

Only then did she realize she was completely naked!

Well, not entirely naked—she was wearing a pair of gloves…

That previously dignified fighting stance instantly lost all combat effectiveness in the eyes of the two men before her.

Her hands were now positioned one above and one below, shielding her front—leaving no free hand to grasp her sword!

With no other option, the woman turned and tried to flee!

But don't forget, this was a battlefield!

It had merely been cleared by Xu Zhanfeng.

Xu Zhanfeng glanced at the Grand Elder, who showed no intention of intervening. He simply continued his task, burying the remaining bodies without pursuing the fleeing woman.

There were still over twenty magical treasures up in the sky. Escape?

Where could she possibly go?

Did she get the Old Master's permission?

Heh, you little brat. Getting all worked up over a couple glances? What kind of behavior is that?

You don't understand—there are plenty who'd give themselves to the Grand Elder, yet he shows no interest!

The immortal maiden circled naked through the air, realizing the predicament too. Unless she killed those two men, escape seemed unlikely.

She must have found some earth-colored coarse cloth to cover herself in shame before flying back.

While the fairy roamed naked, Su Cheng wasn't idle either. Astonished she hadn't died, he immediately summoned the system to check this woman's information.

She was a genuine immortal maiden named Bai Tao. Bai Tao…

Su Cheng suppressed his urge to rant, skimming through her details at a glance.

In short, the reason the immortal hadn't killed her was purely to torment her!

Each night, when all was quiet, the seal restraining her divine consciousness would partially lift.

Bai Tao would always flash a look that screamed she wanted to kill the immortal right then and there, but all she could do was submit to forced intimacy.

The immortal relished this form of retribution. In his eyes, perhaps this was the wretch's just punishment!

Endless humiliation and torment—this was the price the girl paid for angering the immortal. She couldn't even take her own life.

Still, in the original ending, she fared better than Ye Qinghan and the others. At least she died swiftly and decisively—by Cheng Liang's sword.

Needless to say, Cheng Liang had no interest in such secondhand goods—especially uncontrollable ones.

Su Cheng felt no pity for her. He knew nothing of immortals, but he was genuinely disgusted.

Su Cheng sidestepped the sword thrust like a bamboo shoot splitting through the air, pulling back expressionlessly.

It had been ages since Su Cheng encountered an adversary like this—silent, with a near-perfect murderous intent in their eyes.

Those he'd faced before were less opponents than brainless fools.

As the saying went, biting dogs didn't bark—they only bluffed. Dogs that bullied others by relying on their masters were usually pretty useless themselves.

Bai Tao wore a coarse, form-fitting robe, her power largely sealed away. She could no longer execute sweeping, expansive moves, unable even to lift her feet off the ground.

When it came to taking disciples, Su Cheng, much like that Jade-Stealing Immortal, preferred precisely this kind of gaze.

Like hunters, their eyes fixed only on prey, their minds consumed solely by killing!

The physical enhancements faded one by one. Of the four remaining, the longest-lasting had no more than 23 seconds left.

Su Cheng tilted his head, observing the white peach before him with precisely that gaze.

"That disgusting bastard gave me a terrible feeling."

"To be honest, I'm on fire right now."

"Judging by your expression, I'd say you feel the same."

Su Cheng gave a helpless smile. He now strangely understood those villains.

He finally grasped why villains always spouted meaningless nonsense.

Just like now, facing the woman named White Peach. Verbal sparring had long lost all meaning. These words were nothing more than muttering to oneself.

"Do your best to seize freedom beneath my blade."

The biting wind intensified, yet the scorched earth beneath still held lingering warmth.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, yet were instantly cleaved apart by the sword's blinding light.

As the seal was lifted, the woman slowly regained her cultivation, no longer needing the coarse cloth to cover her body.

A celestial robe draped her form, a sword formation swirled around her, and a divine aura manifested behind her. The sheer pressure emanating from her made even Xu Zhanfeng feel a chill run down his spine!

The moment Su Cheng saw that white peach, he understood: how could a battle with an immortal possibly be this simple?

Heh!

It was all thanks to the treasures accumulated in the Sacred Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford such a lavish battle!

Though he could only be a real man for three minutes, it was enough. The immortal maiden before him wasn't so powerful as to defy comprehension.

At least her attack methods were all within his expectations.

Relying on powerful divine abilities was nowhere near as effective as relying on the sword in his hand!

Seeing Su Cheng steady himself, White Peach unleashed her divine arts in pursuit. Yet just as she neared him, the distance suddenly widened!

She sensed it—Su Cheng's strength had undergone a qualitative transformation!

To be honest, Xu Zhanfeng had a more visceral experience of this kind of pressure!

It felt as though he truly stood before a deity, as if locking eyes with the gaze of a top predator—his legs trembled slightly!

"Zero Two!"

Like Ye Qinghan before, he stomped his foot on the ground. The force sent tremors through the earth, shattering rocks and cracking the soil!

A massive jet-black sword slowly materialized in midair, crashing heavily to the ground beside Su Cheng's feet.

Bai Tao was also a bit stunned!

What kind of weapon was this? This inexplicable aura of pressure seemed to emanate from that sword!

A divine sword? Or an imperial weapon?

Truthfully, she had believed that with her restored power, she would have no equal in this world!

She had planned to first eliminate these two scum before returning to the Immortal Realm to seek vengeance against that man!

But now…

Her instincts screamed danger!

This man was peculiar, and her strength might…

But now, there was no escape!

Su Cheng stared at the counterfeit sword in his hand and gave a helpless chuckle. System-produced items weren't all top-notch…

This junk was no match for the real thing!

Whether it was the feel in his hands or the purity of its power, it couldn't compare to the real Authority!

As his pupils turned golden, Su Cheng entered combat mode. He vanished in an instant and swung his sword!

"Master!"

Ye Qinghan's cry was blocked by the Fallen Immortal Ruler. Floating outside its barrier, she witnessed the scene unfold.

But it lasted only an instant—the Fallen Immortal Ruler shattered!

All sixteen magical treasures fell to the ground in an instant!

It was as if space itself had frozen into a painting on a canvas, and that sword light had severed both the painting and the canvas!

Ye Qinghan had come crying, but witnessing this scene silenced even a child's wails!

Even Xu Zhanfeng, hiding behind the Grand Elder, was sent flying a great distance!

As the shockwave swept through, the tree they clung to was uprooted entirely. For fifty li, the heavens seemed to invert, and within a hundred li, birds and beasts scattered in terror!

Ye Qinghan had suspected his master was formidable, but never imagined such power.

Splitting the heavens apart—it wasn't just a figure of speech…
