No sooner had the words been spoken than Ancestor Hongjun flashed before the two of them!
Seeing someone suddenly appear before him, Xuan Yuan hurriedly put away the treasure flag!
Ancestor Hongjun quickly said, "Fellow Daoists, this treasure is fated to be with me. I hope the two of you will oblige!"
"You old Daoist, how rude! Since ancient times, treasures belong to those fated to obtain them. How can you claim it is fated to be with you?" White Tiger rebuked angrily!
Ancestor Hongjun was instantly dumbfounded!
Isn't that my signature line? How did this guy beat me to it?
Ancestor Hongjun blushed, cleared his throat, and said, "Fellow Daoists, you may not know this, but I sensed something in my heart and rushed all the way here. Who would have thought that you two would get here first!"
Though it was a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Ancestor Hongjun was not lacking in one such treasure!
But when he thought of how the Apricot Yellow Flag had slipped past him at Buzhou Mountain last time, he could not help but harbor an obsession!
Hearing Hongjun say this, Xuan Yuan's eyes widened. "So you're saying it's our fault for arriving too early?"
"Not at all. I was too emotional just now. I have yet to ask for your Buddhist Names, Fellow Daoists!"
Xuan Yuan and White Tiger glanced at Hongjun, then cupped their hands together. "I am Xuan Yuan." "I am White Tiger!"
After hearing them state their Buddhist Names, Ancestor Hongjun returned the salute. "I am Hongjun. Greetings, Fellow Daoists!"
Upon hearing Hongjun introduce himself, Xuan Yuan and White Tiger exchanged a glance and said in unison, "So you're Hongjun!"
Hearing this, Hongjun's face immediately lit up. Since these two juniors know of my great reputation, the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Flag is as good as mine!
Hongjun immediately straightened his robes, seeming to stand a little taller. "Indeed, I am! You two—"
Before he could finish, a massive sword and a long spear came flying straight at him!
Before Hongjun could react, he was blasted a million li away by the two weapons. Blood spilled from his mouth as he stared at Xuan Yuan and White Tiger in shock.
"How dare you ambush this Ancestor!" Hongjun roared furiously.
Xuan Yuan and White Tiger merely sneered. "Hmph, Hongjun, do you think we don't know what you're thinking? You're just relying on your little bit of fame to try and seize our magic treasures!"
Hongjun struggled to his feet, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.
"You two ignorant wretches, since you refuse to hand over your magic treasures, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
"Then let me see just how capable you really are!" Xuan Yuan shouted angrily as well!
The moment his words fell, Xuan Yuan released the aura of Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. Together with White Tiger, one on each side, he launched a fierce pincer attack on Hongjun!
Seeing this, Hongjun hurriedly brought out his magic treasures. He had never imagined that the two who had just seemed to be at the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal were actually disguising their cultivation!
The Jade Butterfly of Creation hovered above Hongjun's head, the Taiji Diagram draped over his body, and the Pangu Banner in his hand. One Chaos Spiritual Treasure and two Innate Treasures—he was armed to the teeth!
The Jade Butterfly of Creation emitted endless clear light, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The Taiji Diagram shone with black and yellow radiance, separating clarity from turbidity and stabilizing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. The Pangu Banner gave off waves of dim light, shattering the heavens and space-time!
With this entire set of treasures, Ancestor Hongjun was innately invincible. Coupled with his inheritance from the Chaos Demon Gods, Ancestor Hongjun believed himself to be the number one figure in the Primordial Wilderness!
The three immediately clashed, their three treasures reflecting one another in the air as radiant light burst in every direction.
For a time, the entire space seemed several shades brighter.
Xuan Yuan and White Tiger attacked together, coordinating flawlessly.
Their moves were incomparably fierce, leaving Hongjun somewhat overwhelmed.
However, Hongjun was, after all, the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, and his strength was no small matter. As time passed, he gradually gained the upper hand!
As the battle continued, both sides' auras grew increasingly powerful, and the surrounding space began to twist and distort.
At that moment, Hongjun unleashed a killing move!
He gathered all his magical power together, forming a massive shockwave that blasted toward Xuan Yuan and White Tiger.
Xuan Yuan and White Tiger felt the terrifying force. They gave everything they had to block it, but were ultimately sent flying hundreds of millions of li away!
In terms of cultivation realm, White Tiger and Hongjun were both at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, while Xuan Yuan was even a minor realm above Hongjun.
But Hongjun possessed the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Gods and was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years!
With the support of one Chaos Spiritual Treasure and two Innate Treasures, he still held the upper hand despite fighting two against one!
"Hmph! Juniors will always be juniors. So what if you're one minor realm above this Ancestor? How could you possibly deserve to call this Ancestor a Fellow Daoist!"
Just as Hongjun was preparing to press his advantage and catch Xuan Yuan and White Tiger off guard!
The mountains crumbled, the earth split, and heaven and earth changed color in an instant!
"One Sword Burns the Sea, One Sword Splits Heaven and Earth, One Sword Destroys All Living Beings!"
"Heaven-Burning Strike Overlord Spear!"
Xuan Yuan's three swords and White Tiger's attack had already arrived before Hongjun!
"Very strong, but no more than that!"
Ancestor Hongjun shook the Pangu Banner in his hand, and dim light immediately surged forth, blotting out the sky and covering the sun as the clear daylight turned into night!
"Rumble!"
With an earth-shaking boom, both sides retreated a million li!
I never expected these two to possess such methods. Hongjun's blood and qi churned within him as he secretly muttered to himself!
Xuan Yuan and White Tiger were no better off either, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths!
Hongjun's mouth twitched as he snorted coldly. "I did underestimate you two!"
"But this ends here. The two of you are still incapable of injuring this Ancestor!"
Xuan Yuan stared coldly at Hongjun without saying a word. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed another sword strike.
"Heaven and Earth Reversed, One Sword Roams Freely!"
"This was the ninth form of the Taichu Nine Swords. Taichu cultivated the Carefree Dao, so this move also aligned with Taichu's Dao. It was the strongest form of the Taichu Nine Swords!"
In an instant, the sky that had just regained its clarity darkened once more. It was as though all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had gathered here. An aged Ancient Dragon Phantom appeared in the air and roared as it charged toward Hongjun!
Even with heavy treasures protecting him, Hongjun did not dare be careless in the face of an enraged strike from a Great Luo Golden Immortal at Perfection!
After all, even mighty treasures could not compare to invincible techniques!
Yet Ancestor Hongjun was no pushover either. He formed hand seals, and a defensive spiritual treasure instantly appeared before him, flying toward the Ancient Dragon Phantom. Looking closely, it was a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Stars Eight Trigrams Robe!
When the two collided, the Eight Trigrams Robe self-destructed, yet it still failed to stop the Ancient Dragon Phantom!
The Ancient Dragon Phantom continued charging toward Hongjun!
"Boom!"
With a tremendous explosion, Hongjun was sent flying ten million li away!
Seeing Hongjun blasted away, Xuan Yuan was not faring well either. His face was pale, and he staggered, nearly falling over!
"Senior Brother!"
Seeing this, White Tiger roared, "Die, you mongrel!"
As his words fell, a massive spear descended from the heavens!
The spear shot forth like a dragon. "Soaring Strike Overlord Spear!"
Though both were at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, White Tiger left himself no room to hold back in his fury!
Hongjun was instantly horrified at the sight!
With no way to evade it, he could only brace himself and take the blow head-on!
