"How dare you!"
Nangong Zheng suddenly turned around, leaped into the air, and calmly scanned the distance.
"Hehe, as expected of the peerless expert Nangong Zheng!"
"Nangong Zheng, you do have some skills. I wonder how strong you are?"
Seeing that they had been exposed, the people hiding in the shadows stopped pretending and showed themselves, each unleashing a powerful aura!
There were three people in total, all with white hair and beards, yet youthful faces. They were the old holy masters from the Dushifang in the Dao Yi Holy Land.
They possessed extremely high cultivation levels and held extraordinary status, including elders of the Myriad Tribulations Sect, supreme elders of the Illusionary Annihilation Palace, and guest elders of the Yin-Yang Sect.
The Myriad Calamities Sect and the Illusion Palace are both major sects in the Northern Region, second only to many holy lands and aristocratic families. At the same time, the Yin-Yang Sect is a major sect in the Central Region and is well known.
"Hand over the Human Essence Fruit, and I'll give you a quick death; otherwise, I'll annihilate you, body and soul!" The elder of the Myriad Tribulations Sect spoke coldly. He wore an old Taoist robe, was tall, and exuded an extraordinary aura.
"Are you all here to die?"
Nangong Zheng stood with his hands behind his back. His white hair was as white as snow, and he was tall and imposing, possessing an unparalleled charm. Even when facing the three Holy Lords, he had great confidence.
The fragrance of flowers wafted around him, gentle and lingering, and petals danced in the air, shimmering and sublime, making him appear even more extraordinary.
"Everyone calls you the immortal Nangong Zheng, but I'd like to see if you're truly immortal!" the old Holy Master of the Yin Yang Sect sneered.
He was dressed in feathered robes and wore a golden crown. His body was shrouded in mist, giving him an inexplicable air of majesty.
"What arrogance! Are all the people of the Southern Region so ignorant of their own limitations? Nangong Zheng, we are all Holy Lords. Do you think you can kill us? I'll kill you first!"
The Supreme Elder of the Illusion Palace gave a cold, threatening laugh and immediately summoned a golden divine tower.
"Even though they are both holy lords, there are still differences!"
Nangong Zheng burst into laughter, his white hair flying wildly, his voice shaking the heavens.
Clang!
A small tree flew out from between Nangong Zheng's eyebrows, radiating countless rays of light and shooting out strands of chaotic sword light that were indestructible!
Click!
The golden tower of the old Holy Lord of the Palace of Illusion cracked, failing to stop the small tree!
Nangong Zheng raised his hand and pointed, sending out a divine light that entered the small tree. Instantly, the small tree became even more dazzling, weighing as much as billions of tons, and pressed down, pressing down on the old Holy Master of the Illusionary Annihilation Palace.
"Ah…"
The old Holy Lord's body trembled with golden light as he tried his best to resist, but he still couldn't withstand the suppression of the small tree. His body cracked, and blood gushed out, making him look extremely miserable.
The group was all taken aback. Nangong Zheng was a formidable figure in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness, invincible and rarely matched. This statement was indeed true.
puff!
Nangong Zheng gave a powerful tremor, and the small tree, which was only a foot tall, shook violently, clanging and ringing. It even unleashed ten thousand sword beams, causing the old Holy Master to shatter with a "poof".
Bones and bits of flesh flew everywhere; the scene was bloody and shocking. Nangong Zheng easily killed this powerful old Holy Lord!
"This piece of trash with such limited strength dares to call itself a Holy Lord?" Nangong Zheng sneered and took the sapling back.
The old holy masters of the Yin Yang Sect and the Myriad Tribulations Sect both had ashen faces, looking as disgusted as if they had eaten a dead child.
Nangong Zheng was quite satisfied. His body was indeed worthy of being a top human powerhouse, with overwhelming strength and combat power that were even more terrifying than an ordinary Holy Lord's. Ordinary Holy Lords were simply no match for him.
In fact, Nangong Zheng is also quite outstanding in the original work. He can fight against a ruthless character like the Peacock King and successfully escape from the Bronze Immortal Palace alive. It can be seen that Nangong Zheng is also a "protagonist template"!
"You two come at me together!" Nangong Zheng smiled faintly, looking at the remaining two.
The two old holy masters of the Yin Yang Sect and the Myriad Tribulations Sect exchanged a glance, their expressions both very solemn, and they both retreated in unison.
Clearly, Nangong Zheng's terrifying combat power far exceeded their imagination!
They were already severely short of lifespan and had no intention of fighting Nangong Zheng to the death, so they turned around and prepared to run away.
The two had a rosy view, believing that even though Nangong Zheng was far stronger than they were, he couldn't stop them since they were determined to escape.
"The Jianmu tree splits the sky!" Nangong Zheng whispered.
Suddenly, a huge ancient tree rose from the ground, towering into the sky as if to split the heavens and earth apart. Its canopy was so large that it blocked out the sun.
Beside the ancient tree, there were many divine herbs and exotic trees, all trembling, lush and verdant, displaying endless vitality, like a vast and magnificent landscape painting.
Jianmu, with its endless legends, is a sacred tree worshipped by the ancient people. Located at the center of the sky, it is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humanity, and immortals.
"The legendary strange phenomenon of Jianmu?!"
"The Jianmu tree splits the sky!"
The two old holy masters of the Myriad Tribulations Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect were deeply shocked, never expecting that Nangong Zheng would unleash such a heaven-defying phenomenon.
The enormous ancient tree reached into the sky, creating a breathtaking scene that attracted even cultivators far away, who all turned to look at it.
"My God, is that the legendary Jianmu tree? Does it actually exist?"
"No, that's a strange phenomenon. Peerless figures are fighting there. I saw the old Holy Masters of the Myriad Tribulations Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect. Who is that handsome white-haired man?"
"I understand, that's Nangong Zheng, the top expert in the Southern Region!"
...
A large number of passersby were immediately attracted, and many watched the battle from a distance. A battle at the level of a Holy Lord was a rare sight in the world, and to them, it was a spectacular event.
Nangong Zheng had exceptional hearing and remained silent. The passersby in the era of "Covering the Sky" were indeed terrifying. In just a short while, they had deduced almost everything about the situation. It was truly frightening.
Of course, he was too lazy to pay attention to the passersby and instead continued to control the Jianmu phenomenon to deal with the two old holy masters!
"kill!"
"Nangong Zheng, we will fight you to the death!"
The Holy Masters of the Yin-Yang Sect and the Myriad Tribulations Sect roared and unleashed their respective divine weapons. They attacked simultaneously, their divine lights intertwining and surging like a vast ocean, shattering the heavens.
Nangong Zheng remained unmoved, and the extraordinary phenomenon of the Jianmu tree splitting the sky grew even more magnificent. The Jianmu tree reached the sky, and the divine trees and rare flowers trembled together, resembling a vast fairyland.
He stood alone at the pinnacle, and all the attacks and spells from the two Holy Lords vanished without a trace, seemingly swallowed up, unable to cause him any harm.
Nangong Zheng lifted his leg and took a step, moving like a beam of light. His speed had reached its limit, and the huge Jianmu tree moved with him, supporting the sky and pressing down on the two of them without end.
Both were shocked and retreated quickly, but they were no faster than the Jianmu tree. They were enveloped by the Jianmu tree and directly imprisoned. The two were terrified, never expecting to be suppressed by such a strange phenomenon. Their hearts sank.
They were all ordinary Holy Lords, without any extraordinary phenomena, and were completely unable to resist Nangong Zheng.
Although they were resisting, the Jianmu tree had already pressed down on them.
"Please, fellow Daoists, embark on your journey!"
Nangong was smiling when the Jianmu tree suddenly pressed down. The two screamed and were instantly crushed, leaving no trace of blood mist.
"The supreme expert Nangong Zheng has killed two Holy Lords!"
"The Holy Lord of the Southern Region is so terrifying!"
"This is outrageous! Such strength is awe-inspiring!"
Many people were shocked and speechless upon witnessing this scene.
After killing the three, Nangong Zheng turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight with each step he took.
