"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The sword was like a gust of wind, and its power was comparable to the Heavenly Execution!
Divine Art, Meteor Sword!
The sword formation formed by sixty-four high-grade Dao artifacts was terrifyingly powerful. In an instant, Zhao Qi was sent flying hundreds of meters away. His body, which was made of steel, was also riddled with holes.
"Pfff!"
Zhao Qi struggled to get up. Blood spurted out of his body as the sword light cut through his artery.
However, Zhao Qi's Great Desolate Physique also had powerful recovery ability. In just an instant, the bleeding stopped.
His eyes were blazing with fury.
He originally wanted to teach Su Chen a lesson and do Wang Ziying a favor. However, Zhao Qi was really angry now. He was about to pass the ten-year assessment and officially enter the Heavenly Dao Academy. If he was slapped in the face by a newcomer, he wouldn't be able to show his face in the sacred ground in the future.
"Boom boom boom!"
Zhao Qi's body seemed to have a volcano erupting. His blood seemed to have been ignited. His body emitted a bright red light. Every time he breathed, there would be dense flames spewing out.
Su Chen withdrew his Gilt Sword and looked at Zhao Qi's praise with interest.
This Great Desolate Physique seemed to be quite powerful. After being hit by his Meteor Sword, he was able to recover instantly. This recovery ability wasn't inferior to the first level of the Undying Imperishable Diagram.
Moreover, Zhao Qi's aura was still rising. It was even close to the Reincarnation Realm.
This was the first time Su Chen saw a Reincarnation Realm cultivator with such a powerful aura.
"I can barely suppress Zhao Qi when I'm burning my life force. Now that he's using his full strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress him. There's a time limit to burning my life force. I can't waste my lifespan on this guy. I have to end this quickly."
After stabilizing his aura, Su Chen opened his phoenix wings. His body flashed and raised 64 sword lights at Zhao Qi again.
"Great Sun Eastern Fence Sword Array!"
Zhao Qi let out a beast-like roar. After dying, his lips curled into a sinister smile. He actually grabbed a Gilt Sword with his bare hands and threw it back at Su Chen.
His power was so terrifying that Su Chen was unable to regain control of the Gilt Sword.
Su Chen immediately teleported away and silently appeared behind Zhao Qi.
"Nine stars in a row!"
Thick and heavy elemental energy waves overlapped one another and blasted out nine times in a row, sending Zhao Qi's sturdy body flying high into the air.
At the same time, Su Chen pulled the Heaven Punishing Bow and attached a layer of Divine Flame to the energy arrows. In an instant, a series of arrows burst out.
Every arrow accurately hit Zhao Qi's spine.
Zhao Qi's physical defense was incomparably strong, but under such an attack, it was difficult for him to withstand. In the end, the arrow finally pierced through his skin and came out of his chest.
"Pu!"
Blood splattered across the sky.
Zhao Qi fell to the ground.
He slammed his fist heavily on the ground and forced himself to stand up before collapsing completely.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Qi laughed crazily.
"Su Chen, your strength is beyond my expectations. If it was a year or two earlier, I might have really lost to you. Unfortunately, your luck is not good, meeting me when I have already broken through the limits of the Reincarnation Realm."
He grinned and said, "In order to pass the tribulation during the test, I have been trying hard to suppress my strength during this period of time, not daring to release all of it. But now, I will let you see my true strength!"
After saying that, Zhao Qi suddenly roared towards the sky.
His aura seemed to have broken through some kind of restriction and instantly increased by a large amount.
In the sky, thunder clouds rolled and the tribulation began to form!
"Oh no, Zhao Qi is starting to pass the Nine Nine Great Tribulation!" Chan Miao was shocked.
"Isn't this a suicide mission?"
Su Chen was astonished. Cultivators were at their weakest during the tribulation and had to use all their strength to deal with the lightning tribulation. This Zhao Qi didn't have Su Chen's instantaneous movement technique that could make use of the lightning tribulation to harm others. He had no choice but to stay on the spot and endure the lightning tribulation. Wasn't this creating an opportunity for Su Chen?
Just as Su Chen was about to make a move, a grand intent descended on Star Chasing Island.
The Grand Elder's figure appeared!
Immediately after, Chan Guangming, Sun Tu, Wang Lu, Hua Bi, and the rest of the Cult Protector Elders appeared.
Over a dozen Sea Revolution Realm experts actually appeared at the same time, and the scene was very shocking.
The Grand Elder stroked his white beard and nodded while praising, "This child, Zhao Qi, didn't disappoint. He is not even 100 years old and is already trying to pass the Nine Nine Great Tribulation. If he can successfully pass the tribulation today, the sacred ground will have another young Sea Revolution Realm expert."
"Congratulations, Elder Wang Lu. This disciple of yours has extraordinary potential. The Great Desolate Physique is a rare ancient physique. Once he successfully breaks through to the Sea Revolution Realm, his combat strength will greatly surpass ordinary Sea Revolution Realm experts."
Wang Lu laughed heartily and said, "Whether he can successfully pass the tribulation will depend on his luck. If he fails, then it will be the same."
Although he said so, the complacent smile on Wang Lu's face didn't fade at all.
"Strange, why are there traces of battle here? What happened just now?"
"Speaking of which, it is strange. Zhao Qi, this child, couldn't be planning to pass the tribulation during the last test, right? Now that he is undergoing the tribulation in advance, he isn't prepared enough. It is disadvantageous for him."
Sun Tu suddenly saw Su Chen not far away. When he saw that Su Chen had just fought, he instantly understood the situation.
Why did this kid fight with Zhao Qi when he just arrived at the Heavenly Dao Academy?
It seemed like the reason why Zhao Qi suddenly chose to pass the tribulation was most likely because he was forced by Su Chen.
"Don't make a move!"
Chan Miao quietly came to Su Chen's side and whispered, "As long as a cultivator of the sacred ground is undergoing a tribulation, there will be experts watching from the side. This Zhao Qi is the sacred ground's key nurturing target. Grandfather and the others will pay close attention. If you kill Zhao Qi now, you won't have a good ending. That Elder Wang Lu is Zhao Qi's master. He will definitely stop you."
Su Chen frowned slightly.
No wonder Zhao Qi dared to pass the tribulation in front of him. It turned out that he had something to rely on.
This was a little troublesome.
If Zhao Qi successfully passed the tribulation, wouldn't he be in a dangerous situation?
However, this also gave Su Chen an opportunity.
As long as he could defeat Zhao Qi, who had successfully passed the tribulation and broke through to the Sea Revolution Realm, he would be able to complete the ten years of test in advance and officially become a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Su Chen had originally planned to do the same.
However, the situation had changed. Zhao Qi's appearance was too sudden, and he wasn't fully prepared yet.
However, in other words, even if Zhao Qi successfully passed the tribulation, he had just stepped into the Sea Revolution Realm. His strength hadn't fully stabilized, and his strength hadn't reached the peak of the Sea Revolution Realm. This kind of opportunity was rare, and Su Chen was still worth grasping.
"Su Chen, I will cover for you. Quickly run. Otherwise, after Zhao Qi passes the tribulation, you won't have another chance. Although he won't dare to kill you in front of so many elders, he definitely won't let you off easily."
Chan Miao said anxiously. She didn't want to see Su Chen being beaten up by Zhao Qi on the ground.
"Run?"
Su Chen chuckled, "Why would I run when such a good opportunity came knocking on my door?"
