Chapter 276 Is He Worthy?
　　"May I ask if you are a Huashen (Transformation God) Realm expert?"

　　Jian Xiao asked tentatively.

　　"Hmph!"

　　The hundred or so Zhu Hanshan snorted in unison, "It seems you have good eyes!"

　　Hearing this affirmative answer, not only was Jian Xiao shocked, but even the four Jindan (Golden Core) cultivators led by Zhu Xuanqing were incredibly astonished.

　　They had always thought that Zhu Hanshan was only in the Yuanying (Nascent Soul) Realm, but they never expected that he had already broken through!

　　"A Huashen Realm expert, so that's how it is!"

　　Jian Xiao nodded, "A Huashen expert can kill me as easily as killing a chicken. Naturally, I wouldn't dare offend you. Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life. Farewell!"

　　After saying that, Jian Xiao turned and walked out.

　　Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Chu Qingsong, who originally thought he was doomed.

　　Who would have thought that he would be so lucky and survive a little longer?

　　However, just as Jian Xiao reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped and abruptly turned around.

　　From his sword box, a simple, heavy Xuan Tie (Black Iron) greatsword flew out.

　　As the Xuan Tie greatsword floated in mid-air, Jian Xiao grasped it in his hand.

　　He swept the sword horizontally, and a cyan crescent-shaped sword qi directly swept out.

　　The Xuanjian (Mystic Sword) Sect uses the sword to enter the Dao (Way). Although they are cultivators, their fighting style is comparable to martial artists!

　　And that cyan crescent-shaped sword qi only locked onto one Zhu Hanshan.

　　Swish—

　　The sword qi swept across, and Zhu Hanshan's body was split in two!

　　Despite this, everyone was not worried.

　　After all, Old Immortal Zhu still had hundreds of avatars. Only one was cut off, which didn't matter at all.

　　Zhu Xuanqing even shouted at Jian Xiao, "Jian Xiao, you shameless brat! My father was merciful and gave you a way out, but you haven't changed your ways and dare to ambush a Huashen expert! You are courting death!"

　　"Hehe, a true Huashen Realm expert can naturally kill me as easily as killing a chicken."

　　Jian Xiao sneered, "It's just a pity that your half-dead old man can't!"

　　"What do you mean by that?"

　　Zhu Xuanqing was slightly stunned, his face full of doubt. He couldn't figure out why Jian Xiao had suddenly become so confident.

　　Just then, an unbelievable scene happened.

　　The Zhu Hanshan in the arena turned into streaks of white light and flew into the broken body.

　　As the streaks of white light entered, the body that was originally split in two merged back together.

　　Now, only one figure of Zhu Hanshan remained in the arena.

　　Moreover, this figure seemed very weak, and it was unclear whether it was injured by the sword qi just now!

　　Only now did Chen Xiao completely understand that Zhu Hanshan's last figure was actually an entity condensed from divine sense.

　　Chen Xiao's divine sense could also condense, but only into a phantom.

　　It couldn't be condensed into an entity that was exactly the same as a real person, like Zhu Hanshan.

　　"Hehe, old guy, I was almost fooled by you..."

　　Jian Xiao looked at Zhu Hanshan with a sneer, "I was wondering, you're not from the Hidden Immortal World, how could you break through to the Huashen Realm?"

　　Zhu Hanshan's expression was stern, and he didn't say a word.

　　But Zhu Xuanqing was stunned: "Father, what exactly is going on? Aren't you a Huashen Realm expert? Quickly show this brat what you're made of!"

　　Zhu Hanshan pursed his lips and still didn't speak.

　　Jian Xiao glanced at Zhu Xuanqing contemptuously and said with a fake smile, "It seems you still don't know. Your father can no longer be considered a living person."

　　"What?"

　　Zhu Xuanqing was stunned and looked at Zhu Hanshan in disbelief.

　　His father was clearly fine, so how could he not be considered a living person?

　　"Without the empowerment from a Hidden World Sect, you can't even break through the Yuanying Realm, let alone the Huashen Realm. You are at least a Jindan cultivator; you wouldn't even know this, would you?"

　　Jian Xiao said quietly.

　　Zhu Xuanqing was shocked. He had naturally heard of this statement, but he only thought it was nonsense.

　　Because his father was the best example.

　　"That statement is complete nonsense. My father didn't receive empowerment from a Hidden World Sect, but he still broke through to the Huashen Realm, didn't he? I think that statement was deliberately spread by you people from the Hidden Immortal World to fool us!"

　　Zhu Xuanqing retorted.

　　"Hahahaha, fool you? You think too highly of yourself!"

　　Jian Xiao laughed loudly and said with a look of disdain, "In the eyes of us people from the Hidden Immortal World, you people in the secular world are just a group of ants. You're not worthy of us deliberately fabricating a statement to fool you!"

　　"Then what's going on with my father?"

　　Zhu Xuanqing was fixated on this point. Facts speak louder than words.

　　"Because if you want to break through to the Yuanying Realm, besides being empowered by a Hidden World Sect, there is another way, which is to abandon your physical body, separate your spirit from your body, and forcibly break through. In this way, you can indeed form a Yuanying, condense your divine sense, and reach the cultivation of the Huashen Realm... I originally thought this statement was just a rumor, but I didn't expect someone to actually be able to do it."

　　Jian Xiao sized up Zhu Hanshan, "But there's one thing I don't understand. Your spirit has separated from your body, so how does your physical body remain immortal? Old man, if you can answer my question, I can spare your life!"

　　"Damn you! Even if my father has abandoned his physical body, he is still a Huashen Realm powerhouse. How dare a mere Yuanying cultivator spout nonsense?"

　　Zhu Xuanqing gritted his teeth and cursed.

　　His words provoked a burst of ridicule from Jian Xiao: "Hahahaha, a Huashen Realm expert who has abandoned his physical body is still a Huashen Realm expert? Of course, he can rely on this solidified divine sense to kill some Jindan trash and scare people, but I can scatter his divine sense with just a thought. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you!"

　　Jian Xiao was full of confidence and extremely contemptuous in his words.

　　"Hmph, you're not worthy to scatter my divine sense!"

　　Zhu Hanshan stood with his hands behind his back and said with a look of arrogance.

　　"Old thing, it seems you won't accept a toast, only a forfeit. In that case, I won't be polite with you!"

　　Jian Xiao dragged the Xuan Tie greatsword and walked forward slowly, the heavy sword making a low sound as it scraped against the bluestone road.

　　"You don't need to be polite with me, because your opponent isn't me at all!"

　　Zhu Hanshan suddenly said.

　　This sentence confused everyone present.

　　"Not you? Who else?"

　　Jian Xiao was very puzzled.

　　Zhu Hanshan pointed at Chen Xiao: "It's him!"

　　Chen Xiao had a face full of black lines. Alright, you guys caused trouble, and then you want me to clean up the mess?

　　But Chen Xiao had no choice but to clean up this mess.

　　Because Zhu Hanshan then said, "Young man, didn't you want to prove that you are stronger than me? Then your chance has come!"

　　Chen Xiao rolled his eyes directly. He was simply speechless.

　　Clearly, you wanted me to prove that I am stronger than you, okay? How did it become what I wanted?

　　Jian Xiao sized up Chen Xiao and laughed out loud.

　　"Him? A piece of trash who hasn't even formed a Jindan is worthy of being my opponent?"
