However, this single strike only sent that Martial Venerable flying.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
"Fortieth Blade!"
This was the strongest strike Zhang Hao could unleash with the Hundred Blade Slash so far. The void was almost torn apart by this strike of his.
"Petty tricks!"
That intermediate-level Martial Venerable was also furious and struck out with a palm. It completely annihilated Zhang Hao's strike.
"Damn it!"
"Activate Bloodline!"
Zhang Hao activated his Bloodline.
"Gravity Abyss!"
"Rumble!"
A huge rift immediately tore open beneath the intermediate-level Martial Venerable's feet. Beneath that huge rift, a massive suction force pulled at the intermediate-level Martial Venerable.
"Demonization!"
Zhang Hao unleashed Demonization. His entire body swelled up like an inflated balloon. His aura instantly became even more powerful.
"Whirlwind Slash!"
The Whirlwind Slash Zhang Hao unleashed after Demonization was even more powerful, almost ten times stronger. It blotted out the sky and covered the sun, like dark clouds gathering. It erupted from the void and struck down towards the intermediate-level Martial Venerable.
Even the intermediate-level Martial Venerable felt a slight sense of solemnity from this palm strike.
"Limitless Divine Fist!"
The intermediate-level Martial Venerable snorted coldly and met Zhang Hao's attack with a punch.
With a loud "boom!"
Zhang Hao's Xing Tian Palm was instantly shattered, and that punch continued to smash down towards his body.
Zhang Hao didn't bother to defend. He was currently in the System's safety mode. The opponent couldn't do anything to him anyway, so there was no need to defend.
As expected, the Martial Venerable's punch landed on his body as if it had struck the void, having no effect at all. Meanwhile, Zhang Hao could attack the intermediate-level Martial Venerable without any restraint.
The Jiang Family's Martial Venerable was truly feeling quite aggrieved at this moment, never having been so passive before. Although the opponent's attacks couldn't pose much of a threat to him, the intermediate-level Martial Venerable was also unable to inflict significant damage on the opponent.
"Great Whirlwind Slash!"
Zhang Hao instantly unleashed countless axe shadows, slashing down towards the intermediate-level Martial Venerable.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Dozens of explosions sounded. The intermediate-level Martial Venerable was immediately blasted back several steps by those axe shadows.
Although Zhang Hao didn't kill the intermediate-level Martial Venerable, this intermediate-level Martial Venerable felt somewhat different.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Hao suddenly noticed that this intermediate-level Martial Venerable felt somewhat different. It was as if his aura had weakened significantly.
"Is this a Battle Soul?"
Only then did Zhang Hao realize that this was not the true intermediate-level Martial Venerable descending. What had descended was just a Clone. When cultivating to the Wu Zun Realm, many Martial Venerables would choose to Cultivate some Clones.
Zhang Hao's heart immediately stirred. There was naturally a great difference between a Clone and the main body. After all, the Clone's energy needed to be provided by the main body; the more used, the less remained. Zhang Hao knew clearly that this should be because the opponent was afraid of risk and had transmitted the Clone over through a secret technique.
If it were the main body, Zhang Hao would indeed be a little worried. After all, the difference in strength between the intermediate-level Martial Venerable and him was truly too great, and Zhang Hao admitted he was no match.
But at this moment, the opponent was just a Clone. Zhang Hao was no longer afraid.
Zhang Hao once again raised the Opening Heaven Axe and slashed down towards the intermediate-level Martial Venerable. It was a completely frantic attack. Since Zhang Hao was currently under the System's safety mode protection, he wasn't worried at all about the attacks from this intermediate-level Martial Venerable of the Jiang Family.
Although Zhang Hao's attacks were not very effective against the Jiang Family Martial Venerable's Clone, he made up for it with frequency. Moreover, this time, the Jiang Family Martial Venerable was just a Clone, and its energy couldn't withstand consumption.
Zhang Hao saw that the aura on the Jiang Family Martial Venerable's body was getting weaker and weaker. He immediately knew that the opportunity had arrived.
"Sky Fire!"
Zhang Hao's expression was solemn, and a mysterious symbol flashed in his eyes. A ball of black flame descended from the void towards the Jiang Family Martial Venerable's body.
Although it was just a Clone, this Sky Fire was still effective against it.
The Jiang Family Martial Venerable looked at that ball of black fire. He snorted coldly and said, "Petty tricks!"
After speaking, the Jiang Family Martial Venerable punched towards the black fire.
With a loud "boom!"
The Jiang Family Martial Venerable's punch immediately struck the black fire.
"Break open for me!"
The Jiang Family Martial Venerable's punch fiercely struck the black fire, seemingly intending to shatter it. However, the black fire clung to the Jiang Family Martial Venerable's body like a shadow, burning towards him.
"Ah! What kind of fire is this?"
The Jiang Family's Martial Venerable was immediately shocked and paled, using all his True Qi to try and shatter the flame, but he couldn't shatter it no matter what.
However, as an intermediate-level Martial Venerable of the Jiang Family, even though the main body was not present and it was just a Clone, it still possessed various means. After using all his abilities, this intermediate-level Martial Venerable finally extinguished the black fire.
However, at this moment, the intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone was already extremely weak.
"Good, now is the time."
At this moment, the strength of this intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone, after being repeatedly attacked by Zhang Hao, had become fragile. Its level kept dropping, even losing the strength of Wu Zun (Martial Honor) First Heaven.
The intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone also felt the danger at this moment. He took out a spiritual talisman and waved it in the void. The spiritual talisman flew into the void.
A powerful force erupted, and then a Void Rift was opened.
"Great Teleportation Talisman?"
Zhang Hao felt a slightly familiar aura.
"Damn it, you want to run after fighting? How could there be such a good thing?"
Zhang Hao sneered. He slashed out with the Blood God Blade.
"Fourth-Order Limitless Rampage!"
Zhang Hao instantly increased his strength sixteenfold. The System directly deducted 2000 points.
"Ten Directions Extinction!"
Endless blade light followed Zhang Hao's strike as it slashed out, cutting down towards the intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone.
"Boom!"
Zhang Hao's strike directly blasted onto the intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone.
"Ah!"
The intermediate-level Martial Venerable screamed. The entire Clone was directly annihilated just like that.
"Finally took care of this intermediate-level Martial Venerable's Clone."
Although it was just a Clone, its combat power was not much different from a Martial Venerable.
Zhang Hao waited for a long time but didn't hear the System's notification for experience. He was immediately puzzled.
"Why no experience?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask the System.
The System said, "Because this Clone does not have independent consciousness, it was just split from the main body, so there is no experience value."
"Then why does a Battle Soul have experience?" Zhang Hao was a little confused.
"Because a Battle Soul has independent consciousness, it naturally has experience value," the System explained to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was instantly speechless at this.
