Astral Apostle

While Luo Zhen was chatting with Daoist Jade Cloud in private, the various sects stabilized the experts they had invited. They did not let Zhou Jing continue to clamor and quickly sent people to challenge him.

Although Zhuo Jianchen had been defeated, the various sects did not intend to give up. They still carried out the plan of taking turns to fight.

However, the challengers who appeared later were far inferior to Zhuo Jianchen in martial arts and reputation. They were not as important as before, so many martial artists did not pay as much attention to them as before.

The crowd whispered to each other, still immersed in the shock of the Sword Saint personally certifying Chen Feng as the number one in the world.

Not long after, a few more people were defeated. Finally, a figure with a high martial arts reputation took action and fought with Zhou Jing.

Daoist Jade Cloud had been hiding in the crowd of the Southern Hua Sect members and had been watching, waiting for an opportunity to move. At this moment, when the expert went on stage, he quietly activated his spell.

The spells of the Southern Hua Sect mainly focused on formations and illusions. Although they were not good at killing, they also had miraculous effects. For example, the Five Elements Maze Formation, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Fog Painting, and so on. They could trap people in the formation and make it difficult for them to escape. They were quite famous in the spell world.

In front of everyone, it was not good to make it too obvious. Daoist Jade Cloud's plan was to use an illusion technique on Chen Feng while he was fighting to confuse him and make him reveal a flaw in a daze. From there, he would lose.

This way, no one would think that Chen Feng had lost. Not only would their Southern Hua Sect win the bet to resolve this matter, but they would also protect the sect's reputation.

"Yin and Yang circulate, transforming into all kinds of things. The Spirit is neither a fantasy nor ephemeral, it is formed in the void and darkness…"

Daoist Jade Cloud formed hand seals and activated his magic, casting an illusion on Zhou Jing from afar.

Zhou Jing was fighting with someone when he suddenly felt a chill.

In the next moment, the world in his eyes suddenly changed. His opponent suddenly disappeared, and everything around him became blurry. Only a white fog filled his vision, as if he had fallen into the clouds.

In the clouds and foggy mist, another black shadow flashed past. It was impossible to see clearly, and one could only hear the sound of a distant zither.

"Someone plotted against me? Could it be a spell?"

Zhou Jing frowned. With a thought, he suddenly released a murderous aura.

In the next moment…

Crack!

The illusion instantly shattered, and Zhou Jing's vision returned to normal. To his surprise, he realized that the tip of his opponent's sword was already in front of him, about to stab him.

He reacted quickly and immediately leaned back to dodge. He used the strength of his legs, waist, and abdomen to maintain his iron bridge posture. At the same time, he stabbed out with his spear, piercing through his opponent's thigh.

The martial world expert was originally overjoyed at Chen Feng's daze and wanted to kill him. He did not expect to be severely injured in the blink of an eye. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Daoist Jade Cloud, who was hiding in the crowd, also grunted.

"Oof!"

Blood seeped out of the Daoist's mouth, and his face was crumpled like golden paper. His entire body turned dispirited, and many wrinkles appeared on his face. He had suddenly aged a lot.

He had conjured an illusion technique out of thin air and connected it to his mind. When it was forcefully broken, he immediately suffered a backlash.

"Martial Uncle! What's wrong?"

Luo Zhen was shocked and hurriedly supported him.

Daoist Jade Cloud spoke with difficulty, his tone shocked, "This child's has a Fiendish Aura that has almost materialized into reality. His one move almost destroyed my cultivation!"

When he used the illusion technique just now and saw Chen Feng in a daze because of it, he originally thought that he would succeed. He did not expect Chen Feng to suddenly emit a monstrous fiendish aura that was almost like a technique, directly impacting his mind.

Although he was not good at Aura Divination, he still knew how to differentiate between fellow cultivators. This Chen Feng clearly did not have any cultivation, but he had such a huge Fiendish Aura. It was simply unbelievable.

Daoist Jade Cloud suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar record in the ancient books.

Legend had it that those who were destined to commit crimes were naturally immune to the invasion of evil. It was difficult for spells to work on them. Most of the people with such a fate were heroes in troubled times. They either made contributions or caused trouble. It was impossible for them to remain average and do nothing.

This Chen Feng might be someone with such a fate!

"This person's martial arts are unparalleled, and he has such a fiendish aura. He's not someone our sect can deal with." Daoist Jade Cloud took a deep breath and grabbed Luo Zhen's hand. He instructed in a deep voice, "He has already sensed it just now, so I can't attack again. This child is ruthless, and my Southern Hua Sect should either admit defeat or get rid of him. Otherwise, disaster will be imminent."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen's expression changed.

On the other side, Zhou Jing turned to look at the people from Southern Hua Sect and narrowed his eyes.

With the information from Bill, he knew the background of the Southern Hua Sect quite well. He knew that there was a legacy of spells here, and that they were good at illusions. He guessed that the illusion just now was most likely done by one of the spell masters of the sect.

"Since they can't win on the surface, they're starting to play dirty."

Zhou Jing snorted in his heart.

Not only could his innate Fiendish Aura intimidate evil, but it also had a certain effect on breaking confusion spells. However, it could only take effect when he activated it. It was not a passive ability.

It was indeed a little dangerous for him to reveal a flaw in his daze just now. Although it was difficult for the other party's sword to break through his muscles and bones, it was better not to be hit in his vital points. However, his movements were fast, so even if he had a short reaction time, it was enough to deal with the other party.

"What other moves do you have? Use them all."

Zhou Jing made up his mind and put it aside for the time being. He got down to business first and shouted.

Everyone was forced by his aura and froze.

The experts of the various sects gritted their teeth and stabilized their minds. They stood out to challenge Zhou Jing again and continued to exhaust his strength.

However, the effect of this move was minimal. After losing more than ten battles, everyone helplessly realized that not only did Chen Feng show no signs of exhaustion, but he was also becoming more enthusiastic the more he fought.
