165: The dragon's roar versus the tiger's roar!

Countless Vicious Beasts flickered in and out of sight, their roars echoing endlessly, charging at Zhou Ping from all directions.

In their eyes, Zhou Ping was a succulent piece of bloody meat.

Zhou Ping's eyes gleamed, facing the menacing Vicious Beasts, he remained unafraid.

"It's just an illusion. Maybe it can scare others, but unfortunately, it can't scare me."

The Forbidden Territory, Lapis Lazuli Child's Heart, might seem ordinary when used on others, but on Zhou Ping, it could unleash immeasurable power.

When one's mind becomes unified, one can see through illusions and directly perceive the Dao Heart.

In Zhou Ping's eyes, these Vicious Beasts were merely ice crystals and light, posing no threat to him.

Indeed, those Vicious Beasts roared as they came, but the moment they touched Zhou Ping, they passed directly through his body like projections.

These Vicious Beasts could not cause him any harm, only leaving a trace of frost on Zhou Ping's eyebrows and hair.

"As expected, child's play doesn't work on you!" Song Zhong walked out from behind the light and shadow, "The Great Xia Sword Saint is indeed terrifying."

Zhou Ping was expressionless, holding his sword horizontally across his chest. Just then, Zhou Ping felt his movements become somewhat sluggish.

"Hmm?" Zhou Ping looked closely, and without knowing when, the white frost on his body was increasing. At first, it was just a little on his hair, but now, a thin layer covered his skin as well.

The Yin Wind cold seemed to cling to his bones, impossible to shake off. Zhou Ping could feel that the blood in his body seemed to be gradually congealing.

Just as Zhou Ping's movements became sluggish, countless water droplets leaped out of the sea, like flying fish.

"Pear Blossom Needles!" Song Zhong said softly.

Countless raindrops instantly transformed into sharp needles, shooting towards Zhou Ping. If he were hit by these needles, Zhou Ping would be riddled with holes.

Zhou Ping settled his Qi into his Dantian, and a terrifying Sword Qi was born from within his Dantian.

Immediately, Zhou Ping crushed and dispersed this Sword Qi into countless Sword Qi as fine as ox hair. These Sword Qi traveled along the Meridians in his body, breaking out through his pores.

Not only did it dispel the cold Qi that had invaded his body, but it also directly collided with Song Zhong's Pear Blossom Needles.

Bang, bang, bang!

Even a thousand miles away, Lin Qi Ye and the others at the Zhaijie Institute could still see a dazzling white light on the distant sea, like a giant mushroom cloud, soaring straight into the sky.

"Senior Sword Saint and Song Zhong are fighting! Who do you think will win?" Bai Li Pang Pang asked.

"Hard to say." Cao Yuan said, "Although Senior Sword Saint is the human ceiling, I heard that Song Zhong accomplished an act of God slaying during the Cangnan incident."

After speaking, Cao Yuan and Bai Li Pang Pang both turned their gaze to Lin Qi Ye. They both wanted to hear the opinion of the person involved.

"I don't know. Song Zhong did slay a God, but how should I put it? He didn't reach the God Realm by relying on his own Realm."

Lin Qi Ye knew that Song Zhong had temporarily reached the God Realm by relying on the shattered Divine Power of other Gods.

However, such a thing was too incredible, and he had no intention of explaining it to Cao Yuan and Bai Li Pang Pang for now.

"Didn't reach the God Realm?" Cao Yuan thought for a moment, "Then that means Senior Sword Saint has a greater chance of winning."

Bai Li Pang Pang also agreed with Cao Yuan's view, "I have some inside information here. At that time, Senior Zhou Ping alone kept Poseidon, the God of the Sea, out. That is to say, even if Senior Sword Saint can't slay a God, he's pretty close."

A thousand miles away, Zhou Ping's Sword Qi churned Song Zhong's Pear Blossom Needles into a mist.

After destroying the Pear Blossom Needles, those Sword Qi did not disappear. Instead, like countless feathers, they re-converged.

Countless Sword Qi connected with each other, and a murderous Aura instantly filled the entire sea.

The Sword Qi Dragon moved without wind, radiating majesty without anger.

"This sword strike is called Roaming Dragon!"

Zhou Ping looked at the Sword Qi Dragon in front of him. Compared to the illusions Song Zhong had summoned before, his Sword Qi Dragon was the true peerless Vicious Beast.

"Go!"

The Sword Qi Dragon resonated with Zhou Ping's mind and charged towards Song Zhong beyond the rain mist. The Sword Qi sliced through the air at extreme speed, creating intense friction with the air.

Countless lightning bolts surrounded the Sword Qi Dragon. The Dragon danced, thunder rumbled, and electricity flashed.

"Hehe, is this the Great Xia Sword Saint?"

Excitement gleamed in Song Zhong's eyes. His body rapidly turned grayish-green, but a strange red light flickered in his pupils.

Zhou Ping watched Song Zhong's appearance change, feeling a bit curious. Could there be Forbidden Territories that allowed transformation?

This guy is so flashy, he knows a lot!

Just as Zhou Ping was curious, he suddenly felt a sinister and strange wind around him.

That's right, it was a cold wind, but this coldness was not a physiological sensation, but a chilling cold that came from the Soul.

"This is..."

As soon as Zhou Ping reacted, that sinister and strange wind grew even stronger.

It turned out that when the Pear Blossom Needles were destroyed by Zhou Ping's Sword Qi, Song Zhong had activated the ability of Feilian, Yin Wind.

This Yin Wind could disturb the opponent's Mental Energy, and could even directly blow the opponent into an idiot.

Zhou Ping's Dao Heart was so firm, and his Mental Energy so tenacious, that if he didn't find a way to shake the opponent's Mental Energy, let alone winning, it would be a question of whether Song Zhong himself could escape unscathed.

Zhou Ping dared not be careless and immediately concentrated his power to stabilize his mind, resisting the Yin Wind that was eroding his Soul and bones.

And Song Zhong also took this opportunity to create another huge iceberg in front of him.

Crash!

The Sword Qi Dragon, carrying the power of lightning, directly shattered the iceberg. Its momentum remained undiminished as it continued to fly towards Song Zhong. The Sword Qi Dragon opened its huge mouth, seemingly intending to swallow Song Zhong whole.

At this moment, the red glow in Song Zhong's eyes intensified. Having transformed into a zombie, he surprisingly chose not to dodge, but instead met the Sword Qi Dragon with a punch.

The terrifying power, enhanced by Exertion, brought extreme speed.

Song Zhong could even feel that the moment his fist struck out, it reached an extremely high temperature merely due to friction.

If it weren't for the Zombification and Flesh White Bone abilities, which brought about a qualitative change to his body, this punch would probably have turned Song Zhong's fist into ashes before it was even thrown.

A sharp booming sound echoed across the sky. Song Zhong's punch actually produced a feeling of powerful wind.

Two ferocious beasts collided, and the sounds of wind, thunder, and explosions spread out in all directions with Song Zhong at the center.

And the sea beneath his feet, due to this enormous impact, directly formed a void.

The seawater spread in all directions, seemingly trying to avoid this battle.

The recently dissipated waves once again swept out in all directions.

Zhou Ping used a Sword Qi to protect himself an instant before the explosion, but because he had been resisting the erosion of the Yin Wind, his movements were half a beat slow.

The huge explosion forcibly blasted Zhou Ping a kilometer away.

After an unknown amount of time, the shockwave finally subsided. Zhou Ping looked at the center of the battlefield, where a dark figure stood in the air, accompanied by a burnt smell.
