Zhihai's sleeve accurately struck the incoming flying sword, cleverly avoiding the blade and the tip, hitting the side of the sword's body.

He knocked the flying sword off its original course.

Lu Jing tried to use his Sword Control Technique to adjust, attempting to correct the flying sword's trajectory, but just as the flying sword wobbled and turned, it was swatted away by Zhihai's sleeve again.

But this time, although he blocked Lu Jing's kick, he couldn't stop the terrifying inner force coming from the other side.

Zhihai himself was also a first-rate expert, and he came from the Xuankong Temple, the number one sect of Buddhism. Although he didn't cultivate the Xuankong Temple's unique 'Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Scripture', he still practiced a top-notch internal energy cultivation method.

However, facing the oncoming Little Vajra Force, the inner force he had painstakingly gathered was almost shattered with a single blow, causing Zhihai to retreat five steps before regaining his footing.

However, while retreating, Zhihai was still chanting incantations. As he stood firm again, he finally succeeded in casting his first spell.

He pointed a finger at Lu Jing, and at the same time, he lightly shouted, "Freeze!"

In the next moment, Lu Jing felt as if his hands, feet, and body were bound by an invisible chain, unable to move even a fraction.

— The Immobilization Technique, this was also one of the most commonly used spells by cultivators. Previously, when facing the giant snake on the river, Xia Huai had used this spell to stabilize the boat.

However, the power of the same spell varies in different hands.

Although Xia Huai was exceptionally talented, he had only been cultivating mystic energy for a short time. Zhihai, on the other hand, was already a Second Palace cultivator, and a peak Second Palace cultivator at that, only one step away from opening up the Third Palace. His cultivation level had even surpassed many academy instructors.

Therefore, the Immobilization Technique he cast was naturally not comparable to Xia Huai's.

If an ordinary person were hit by his spell, they would have to be prepared to stand from sunrise to sunset.

However, Lu Jing was, after all, a cultivator. Even if his limbs couldn't move, he could still mobilize the mystic energy in his Mystic Cauldron to counterattack.

Zhihai estimated that with Lu Jing's cultivation level, his spell could only trap the other party for half an incense stick's time.

But for killing, half an incense stick was already enough, even a bit too much.

Zhihai even took the time to tidy up his clothes before walking towards Lu Jing.

On the other side, although Xia Huai had firmly suppressed the Shadow Puppet, it was difficult to get rid of this humanoid magical artifact with no obvious weaknesses in a short time, so she couldn't intervene in the battle on this side.

So Zhihai calmly walked up to Lu Jing.

Just as he stopped, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind his head.

Without even turning his head, Zhihai grabbed the flying sword that was shot towards him directly in his hand.

After playing with it for a while, he said, "I heard that you are the first disciple in the history of the academy to achieve perfect Foundation Establishment. It's a pity... you just happened to encounter this era of declining mystic energy. With all your talent, in the end, you can only end up with nowhere to use it. In that case, be buried in the dustbin of history along with the Department of Celestial Observation."

After Zhihai finished speaking, he didn't waste any more words and stabbed the sword fiercely towards Lu Jing's heart.

But just as the blade was about to pierce Lu Jing's chest, his forearm was suddenly grabbed by a hand, preventing it from moving forward.

Zhihai's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You, how did you break free?!"

"We are both Second Palace cultivators, how long do you think your spell can trap me?" Lu Jing looked at Zhihai with an idiotic gaze.

The latter looked disbelieving, "You said you are a Second Palace cultivator? How is that possible? How long have you been in the world of cultivation?"

"You're just cultivating too slowly, Master."

As Lu Jing spoke, he exerted force with his hand, directly breaking Zhihai's right arm that was holding the sword.

Zhihai let out a cry of pain, and his left hand waved his sleeve towards Lu Jing's chest, trying to force Lu Jing to let go, but Lu Jing didn't dodge at all.

Instead, his other hand also clenched into a fist and smashed it towards Zhihai's face!

The two of them hit each other almost at the same time.

Lu Jing didn't move at all, enduring Zhihai's sleeve attack, in exchange for Zhihai spitting out four teeth!

Moreover, the injuries Zhihai suffered were far more than these. Half of his face was smashed by Lu Jing's punch, which also made it impossible for him to open his mouth and recite other spells.

But to be on the safe side, Lu Jing also crushed the wrist of Zhihai's other hand, and then tapped several acupoints on his body.

Seeing Zhihai's body soften in front of him like a puddle of mud, Lu Jing stopped.

He didn't immediately kill him, because the other party was, after all, a supervisor, and should know a lot about Mr. Ji. Lu Jing decided to hand him over to Guo Shouhuai to deal with.

On the other side, the battle between Xia Huai and the Shadow Puppet also came to an end.

Xia Huai used the chains that were originally used to bind the iron box to tie the Shadow Puppet firmly, and then grabbed the puppet's right foot, and with a force, unloaded it.

The Shadow Puppet immediately stopped struggling.

On the contrary, Zhihai on the ground spat out another mouthful of blood, looking quite weak.

"Uh... you said that cutting off its connection with its master is to dismantle it directly?"

The girl nodded, "The Shadow Puppet's body is full of talismans and formations, just like the blood vessels and meridians of our human body, driving them to make various movements. In addition to these conventional formations, there is also a formation specifically used to control them."

"This formation is the core of all formations. Modifying this formation can make it recognize different people as masters, but my refining level is only average, so I can only dismantle it first. How to modify it specifically will have to be studied slowly after going back. It would be best to find someone who is good at refining to take action."

"It's okay, I know someone who can definitely modify it."

Lu Jing asked Xia Huai to put away the Shadow Puppet, which was worth over a million, and he also picked up Zhihai, who had already fainted from the pain.

After that, he glanced at the increasingly large crowd of onlookers.

Lu Jing couldn't help but smile wryly. He knew that this matter had become a big deal. He had just been going back and forth in the sea of fire, and had a big fight with Zhihai, who used flying swords and spells.

After that, Xia Huai also presented a wonderful performance of a battle with a puppet. If this doesn't spread the next day, wouldn't these people have watched the excitement for nothing tonight?

However, Lu Jing couldn't care about the rules of the Department of Celestial Observation at this moment. He didn't forget that the black knife was still being dragged around by the rat swarm, so he asked the girl to release the Child-Seeking Golden Armor again.

After confirming the location, the two hurried there.
