Chapter 866 Independent Time and Space
"This is!"

This scene made Zhang Qian extremely surprised. He had seen the magical power of freezing time and space before, but this was the first time he saw such a bizarre method as that of the Tianhuang Sect.

Generally speaking, those powerful beings who possess the ability to freeze time and space, after using this ability to freeze the time and space around the enemy, the time and space around themselves will not be frozen at the same time. The Avenue of Time is one of the most mysterious avenues.

The magical power of freezing time and space does not distinguish between friend and foe. No one would be so stupid as to freeze the time and space around him when fighting against an enemy.

However, the Tianhuang Sect's Zhouguang Dingxian Bell allowed Zhang Qian to witness another way of time.

This divine bell can obviously freeze time and space, which is nothing, but it can actually freeze the time and space around itself while allowing the Tianhuang Sect monks to move freely in this frozen time and space.

This is really scary.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi...!
Zhang Qian raised his hand and the Qingping Sword danced. Dense sword lights shot out like straight thunder. The four supreme sword intents of killing, trapping and destruction filled the world, with a terrifying momentum of moving forward, annihilating all living things, collapsing the entire world and recreating earth, fire, water and wind.

With the blessing of the Qingping Sword, the power of the four sword intents was terribly enhanced. This time, Zhang Qian made the sword lights interweave into a net, covering the tens of thousands of cultivators from all sides.

The speed of the sword light was so fast that in an instant, countless sword light nets appeared in all directions around the Tianhuang Sect cultivators, and they all became fish in the net.

This time was different from the previous attempts. The sword net was crisscrossed and the mesh between the sword lights was extremely small. He wanted to see how the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell could let these cultivators dodge.

"It's you!"

The Taiyi Golden Immortal seemed to recognize Zhang Qian. He snorted coldly, and the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell shook again.

Boom...!
A melodious bell rang out, and the vast land was once again frozen, and the net of sword light stopped there and did not move.

After the bell rang, the Taiyi Golden Immortal, who looked to be in his forties, controlled the magic bell, and a strange scene appeared again.

He led the tens of thousands of cultivators and strolled leisurely in the garden, ignoring the dense sword nets around them. Most of the cultivators even passed through the sword nets directly. Zhang Qian clearly saw many Tianhuang Sect cultivators being pierced by the sword nets, but the strange thing was that these people were not affected by the sword nets at all, as if they and the sword nets were in different time and space. It seemed that they collided with each other, but in fact, they were separated by a distance in time and space!

"how so!"

The Peacock King said solemnly, "It is said that once the Tianhuang Sect's Zhouguang Dingxian Bell rings, it can open up the tributaries of the long river of time. It turns out to be true."

Zhang Qian's heart moved, and he began to understand something. He thought about it for a while and finally came to a realization.

“So that’s how it is. After the divine bell rang, it opened up a branch line of time, allowing tens of thousands of cultivators to enter a small space and time opened up by the divine bell. In this way, they can ignore my sword net. It’s really a terrifying innate spiritual treasure!”

After understanding the mystery of the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell, Zhang Qian was envious. Although this treasure has not yet shown much killing power, its magical ability to open up tributaries of time and isolate time and space is simply an unparalleled life-saving magical power.

You can clearly see the other person, but the other person is not in the same time and space as you. No matter how many magical powers you have, you cannot hit the other person!

Zhang Qian's defensive ability was to withstand the attack head-on, but the mysterious defense of the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell was to open up an independent space and time, allowing people to be in it, visible but not touchable.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Tianhuang Sect cultivators all left the coverage of the sword net. Only then did the stagnant power of the divine bell dissipate. Zhang Qian's King of Sword Light instantly cut the void into pieces, but to no avail, and all fell into thin air.

"What a terrifying sword technique, Zhang Qian. We in the Tianhuang Sect have no grudge against you. Why did you attack us? If you don't give me an explanation, the Tianhuang Sect will not agree!"

"Explanation?" Zhang Qian was stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood a little. The enemies he met before always had a condescending attitude and spoke to him as if he were a junior or a weak person.

But it is different now. His name has spread throughout the thirty-six states, and even in the depths of the four seas, countless cultivators have heard of his fame. In the hearts of cultivators all over the world, he has truly stood on the same level as the Human King, the Stone Emperor, and the Saint Lord of the Nine Heavens Sect.

Although the Taiyi Golden Immortal opposite him was several levels higher in cultivation than him, he was speaking with the mentality of an equal, or even a weaker one.

“I have to say it feels pretty good.”

This was the first time he experienced the feeling of a truly strong person. As long as you are strong enough, even the powerful people in the Jiutian Sect will be cautious and talk to you reasonably instead of attacking you right away.

He has not changed this mentality for a while. In fact, in the eyes of the world's powerful cultivators, he is no longer the unknown person he used to be, but a giant who can dominate the life and death of billions of lives!

"Zhang Qian, although there are a few people in our Jiutian Sect who have great hatred for you, our Tianhuang Sect has never provoked you. Why did you attack us?"

Zhang Qian squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

The Taiyi Golden Immortal paused, and suppressed his anger as he replied, "I am Luo Shikun, the Grand Elder of the Tianhuang Sect. What do you want to do?"

"Luo Shikun? Do you know that the Great Peacock King was my benefactor in the past? He protected me many times and saved me from disasters. The Little Peacock King is even my brother, but he was beaten by you and lost all his cultivation. You made things difficult for them. Do you think you are provoking me?"

"you……!"

Luo Shikun looked at the Peacock King behind Zhang Qian with a bad face. After a while, he suppressed his anger and said, "Zhang Qian, if it was someone else, I would naturally let him go for your sake. However, the Peacock King is a key figure specially assigned by my Saint Lord. I must subdue him no matter what. If you don't care about this matter, how about considering that my Tianhuang Sect owes you a favor?"

"Favor?"

Zhang Qian sneered in his heart. The Jiutian Sect could be said to be his destined enemy. How much was this favor worth? He didn't care at all.

"Forget about the favors. I can't afford them. I have secured the Peacock King today. If you disagree, let's fight it out!"

"Okay, okay, I want to see what you, who are famous all over the world, are capable of. The innate spiritual treasures of my Tianhuang Sect are not as simple as you think!"

Luo Shikun said this in exasperation, then stretched out his hand and pointed, the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell slowly rotated, shrank leisurely, and landed on top of his head.

"open!"

Boom!
A violent bell rang out, and the time and space around Luo Shikun suddenly changed. This change was extremely secretive. The next moment, Luo Shikun shouted: "I have opened up a branch of time, let's attack together!"

Swish swish!
Tens of thousands of Tianhuang Sect monks rushed forward together, and all kinds of killing magical powers gathered into a cloud, covering Zhang Qian.

"So that's what you were thinking, but it's a pity that you're facing me."

Zhang Qian understood Luo Shikun's plan. The other party directly used the Zhouguang Dingxian Bell to open up the tributary of time, allowing tens of thousands of cultivators to be in an independent time and space. In this way, these cultivators could attack Zhang Qian across a distance of time and space, but Zhang Qian could not touch these cultivators. The Zhouguang Dingxian Bell seemed to make these tens of thousands of cultivators invincible.
