Teaching Dingguang Immortal a Lesson / Breakthroughs, Breakthroughs, Nonstop Breakthroughs
Daoist Zhunti was startled. With a flip of his hand, he produced the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and frantically swept it about.
The seven Buddhist treasures burst forth, and seven-colored streams shot across the sky, sweeping down the flames.
"Humph, Zhunti, since you insist on courting death, don't blame this humble Taoist for showing you no mercy!"
Tongtian Cult Master flew into a rage. His eyes widened, and a celebratory cloud rose from behind his head. Within it floated the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
In an instant, the Four Immortal Slaying Swords flew out like four sword-dragons, howling as they surged toward Daoist Zhunti.
Daoist Zhunti was scared out of his wits and hurriedly wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree with all his might.
The seven-colored Buddhist treasure light erupted wildly.
"Crash..."
But in the next moment, countless Buddhist treasures were shredded and sent falling by the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
Daoist Zhunti looked closely and saw that the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree had been reduced to a bare branch. Both furious and alarmed, he cried, "Tongtian, you... you've gone too far!"
"Humph, this humble Taoist is bullying you today. What can you do about it?"
Tongtian Cult Master was furious. Pointing with one hand, he sent the Four Immortal Slaying Swords roaring forth again.
Seeing the Four Immortal Slaying Swords strike once more, Daoist Zhunti was terrified out of his mind. He no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly turned to flee into the void. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords followed close behind and vanished into the void as well.
"Argh..."
A scream came from within the void, followed by spurting Buddhist blood.
"Tongtian, this humble Taoist will never let this go..."
Daoist Zhunti's bitter threat rang out from the void.
Tongtian Cult Master recalled the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and looked disdainfully into the void. Curling his lip, he said, "Zhunti, if you want to settle this, this humble Taoist will settle it with you anytime!"
"Thank you, Master, for saving our lives!"
Li Xiao and the others hurriedly cupped their hands toward Tongtian Cult Master.
Teaching Dingguang Immortal a Lesson
"Come back to Golden Ao Island with this humble Taoist!"
Tongtian Cult Master glared at Li Xiao irritably and said in a deep voice.
Li Xiao grinned and secretly sneered, What the hell does Tongtian mean? There are five people here, so why is he only targeting me?
But Li Xiao only grumbled about it in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiao hurried forward and cupped his hands. "Master, Three Immortal Island has already acknowledged this disciple as its master. What if someone else takes it over..."
Then this disciple would suffer a huge loss!
Though Li Xiao did not say those words aloud, his meaning was obvious.
Tongtian Cult Master looked at Li Xiao helplessly and said, "Three Immortal Island is a whole unto itself. It has a natural island-protecting formation, the Innate Three Talents Grand Formation. Unless one is a Quasi-Saint mighty expert, it cannot be broken. You need not worry!"
As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master swept his sleeve and carried Li Xiao and the other four into the void, heading for Golden Ao Island.
Upon arriving at Golden Ao Island, Tongtian Cult Master looked at Li Xiao and said, "Rebellious disciple, behave yourself lately and give this humble Taoist less to worry about!"
With that, Tongtian Cult Master turned and returned to Golden Ao Island, going into seclusion to study the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts.
I'm still not behaving myself? Daoist Duobao wants to set me up—what can I do? Besides, what the hell are you studying? Unless you abolish your own Saint position, no amount of cultivation will let you break free of the Heavenly Dao's restraints!
Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts.
Yunxiao's beautiful face twitched violently. She turned to Li Xiao with an incredulous look.
Huh? Why is Yunxiao looking at me again? Does she really like me?
Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's inner thoughts again. Her pretty face flushed crimson with embarrassment, and she spat at him before ignoring him.
Li Xiao froze, completely baffled.
Just then, Daoist Duobao, Immortal Pilu, and Immortal Chang'er Dingguang walked over.
When Daoist Duobao saw Li Xiao, his brows visibly furrowed. He then put on a hypocritical smile and asked, "Fifth Junior Brother, did the mission go smoothly?"
"Smoothly, of course it went smoothly!"
With a flip of his hand, Li Xiao produced the Purple Zhu Fruit.
Daoist Duobao instinctively reached out to take the Purple Zhu Fruit, but in the next moment, Li Xiao took a bite out of it. He even smacked his lips and said with a click of his tongue, "First Senior Brother, you weren't kidding. This Purple Zhu Fruit is really sweet..."
Daoist Duobao's outstretched hand froze in midair. His old face twitched violently, and Li Xiao's outrageous move left him with a face full of dark lines. He had no idea what to do.
"Senior Brother Li Xiao, the Purple Zhu Fruit is for the mission. How... how can you eat it? You..."
Immortal Pilu stepped forward and shouted angrily.
Li Xiao looked at the three of them with a smile and grinned. "First Senior Brother only said that this humble Taoist was to bring back the Purple Zhu Fruit. He never said how it was to be handled. This humble Taoist brought it back, so the mission is complete!"
"You... you're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Immortal Pilu's face darkened with frustration. He trembled in rage and snapped.
"Humph, is that how you speak to your Senior Brother?"
Li Xiao's expression turned cold as he asked in a deep voice.
Daoist Duobao frowned slightly, then turned and rebuked him. "Junior Brother Immortal Pilu, step back. Do not be rude to Fifth Junior Brother!"
Only then did Immortal Pilu retreat resentfully.
While eating the Purple Zhu Fruit, Li Xiao walked up to Immortal Chang'er Dingguang and smiled. "Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, what's wrong with you? You look rather weak. How about... I give you this fruit to eat? You could build yourself up a little."
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang rolled his eyes wildly, coughed several times, and cupped his hands toward Li Xiao. "Thank you, fifth senior brother, but fifth senior brother should eat it. This humble Taoist cannot accept it."
"Oh, all right then! Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, take care of yourself!"
Li Xiao continued eating the fruit, then stretched out one hand and heavily patted Immortal Chang'er Dingguang on the shoulder.
That arm of Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's had been viciously lashed by Zhao Gongming's golden whip. His injuries had yet to heal, and Li Xiao's heavy slap nearly tore him apart.
"Argh..."
Cold sweat instantly poured from Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's forehead. He nearly cried out, but to keep Li Xiao from noticing, he forcibly endured the pain.
"Oh my, Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, I'm telling you, how can you be this weak? You really need to nourish yourself properly!"
As he spoke, Li Xiao heavily patted Dingguang Immortal on the shoulder again.
"Argh..."
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang wailed miserably in his heart. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, but he could only endure the pain.
"Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, look at that pale face of yours. Didn't you do anything good last night? Tell your Senior Brother—have you taken a fancy to one of the beauties of our Jie Sect? Senior Sister Gui Ling? Or... First Senior Brother's disciple, Huo Ling Shengmu?"
Li Xiao leaned close to Immortal Chang'er Dingguang and gave his shoulder another vicious slap.
Argh...
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's eyes nearly popped out from the pain. His face went pale, his body convulsed, and he trembled without stop.
At the side, Daoist Duobao's face darkened. Seeing that Immortal Chang'er Dingguang could no longer hold on, he hurriedly cupped his hands toward Li Xiao. "Fifth Junior Brother, we have matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first!"
With that, he grabbed Immortal Chang'er Dingguang and Immortal Pilu and immediately transformed into a streak of light, fleeing toward Duobao Peak.
Once they reached Duobao Peak, Immortal Chang'er Dingguang could no longer endure it. His throat sweetened, and he could not help vomiting a mouthful of blood. His aura weakened sharply, and he collapsed to the ground.
Daoist Duobao frowned deeply. He hurriedly flipped his hand, produced a medicinal pill, and fed it into Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's mouth.
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang hurriedly sat cross-legged and began regulating his breath to recover from his injuries.
After an unknown amount of time, Immortal Chang'er Dingguang's complexion improved slightly. Trembling, he rose to his feet and cupped his hands toward Daoist Duobao. "Thank you, First Senior Brother!"
Daoist Duobao nodded.
At the side, Immortal Pilu ground his teeth in hatred and said bitterly, "Humph, Li Xiao was clearly doing it on purpose. He..."
Daoist Duobao's face darkened. He turned to Immortal Chang'er Dingguang and asked with a frown, "Junior Brother Dingguang Immortal, did you reveal some flaw?"
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang hurriedly shook his head. "No. This humble Taoist was very careful. Otherwise, this humble Taoist would not have suffered like this..."
"Then that's strange..."
A sharp light flickered in Daoist Duobao's eyes as he paced back and forth, muttering, "Just now, he clearly knew you were injured and was deliberately tormenting you, but..."
Immortal Chang'er Dingguang secretly gritted his teeth in hatred.
As the saying went, some rejoiced while others worried!
While dark clouds hung over Daoist Duobao's side, Li Xiao's side was filled with joy.
On Fifth Peak, Zhao Gongming raised a jar of wine and laughed heartily. "Fifth senior brother, you really are ruthless! This humble Taoist still can't forget Dingguang Immortal's expression, hahaha..."
"Hehehe..."
The Three Xiao sisters were laughing so hard their graceful figures trembled.
"How can that be called ruthless? I was teaching him how to behave..."
Li Xiao said with a solemn expression.
"Hahaha..."
Soon, a burst of laughter echoed across Fifth Peak...
Breakthrough, Breakthrough, Frenzied Breakthrough
On Golden Ao Island, at Duobao Peak.
Immortal Pilu's old face twitched violently as he looked at Daoist Duobao. "First Senior Brother, that... that bastard Li Xiao actually found the legendary Three Immortal Island, which was formed from a Chaos Fragment!"
"What? He found Three Immortal Island? When did that happen?"
Daoist Duobao cried out in shock.
Immortal Pilu gave a bitter smile. "First Senior Brother, it was during the time you... you assigned that bastard Li Xiao the mission. While he went out to retrieve the Purple Zhu Fruit, he... he happened to find the legendary Three Immortal Island..."
Pfft...
Daoist Duobao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
