Sword Drives Back Two Daoists, the Path to Immortality Severed!
"Yun Qing from the Divine Empyrean Sect has come to pay a special visit to Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt."
"Yun De of the Divine Empyrean Sect has come to pay a special visit to the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt."
Yun Qing.
Yun De.
As soon as they finished speaking, they appeared, revealing themselves to be two one-armed Daoist priests. The one on the left was missing his left arm, and the one on the right was missing his right arm.
Pu Yi appeared.
The world instantly changed color.
The Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and the Daoist Yuan Shan also changed their expressions drastically. The former's pupils contracted as she thought to herself, "How could it be these two?!"
Suddenly stunned.
A soft voice came from beside her ear. Upon hearing it, Daoist Nun Cheng Jin shook her head slightly at Daoist Yuan Shan and also transmitted her voice, saying, "I don't know either. The Divine Empyrean Sect has deliberately kept two trump cards hidden. They've probably been waiting for Fellow Daoist Qibao to make this move!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuan Shan's heart sank again. "If other immortal masters from the Divine Empyrean Sect came, it would be easier to deal with them. But these two had their left and right arms cut off by the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt in a battle years ago, so the enmity is considerable. Now that they've come to seek revenge, why would they care about saving face?"
"Divine Empyrean Sect".
"It's these two."
Many people inside and outside Seven Treasures Mountain knew about the battle back then. When they saw the two men coming in with great momentum, their aura surpassing the fifth level and manifesting Pure Yang, they were clearly immortal masters. So, with a loud bang, they were shocked.
There are two sixth-order demons in the south, and two immortal masters have arrived in the north. Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt is at the critical moment of her breakthrough. The infinite mysteries of the Two-Qi Peak make it difficult for her to become Earth Immortal in the short term.
How can we survive this ordeal?!
"Being unaffiliated with any sect or faction makes the Heavenly Tribulation easier to overcome, but the human-caused calamity of ascending to immortality is deadly!"
Four powerful masters were eyeing the area covetously, while only two immortal masters from the Mount Mao Dao remained in Seven Treasures Mountain.
It is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
Two Daoist priests arrived riding on auspicious clouds, but stopped a hundred miles outside Seven Treasures Mountain, standing leisurely and proudly atop the clouds.
"Divine Empyrean Sect!"
"It is said that the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt and the Daoist priests of the Divine Empyrean Sect have fought several times on the battlefield, and have developed a great grudge. This is troublesome."
"More than just troublesome! These two people's arms were severed by the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt herself; their intentions are clearly hostile!"
There was much discussion, with some people feeling anxious, some gloating, and others full of anticipation.
There are many more examples.
To attain Changsheng.
Six levels of clouds gather.
Such a grand scene is rare, and everyone held their breath, watching the situation unfold.
On various peaks of Seven Treasures Mountain, numerous Immortal Dao cultivators, martial arts masters, and wandering Daoist priests stood solemnly. Some were disciples of Seven Treasures Mountain, while others were experts from various walks of life who were on good terms with the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt and had come specifically to lend their support.
However, the strongest among these people was only at the fifth rank, comparable to True Immortal. They could hold off ordinary fifth-rank demons who came to disturb them. But they were simply no match for the four sixth-rank experts from the two heavens.
"I only hope that the two immortal masters from Mount Mao Dao can stop them."
Everyone prayed silently.
Time passed.
Whether it was the two demons from the south or the two immortal masters from the north, they arrived with great force, yet they tacitly refrained from making a move.
They simply observed the situation, seemingly just watching the ceremony.
Neither the people present nor the two immortal masters of Mount Mao Dao dared to slacken their vigilance. Even Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan felt their hearts grow increasingly heavy—
The four of them were hesitant to act, waiting until the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt was on her path to breakthrough, unstoppable and with no turning back, before making their move to complete her task. This would not only ruin the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's hopes for Changsheng, but they might even take advantage of the situation to kill her.
The two Daoists of the Divine Empyrean Sect and the two demons of the Savage Wilderness were clearly not benevolent.
Time seems to stand still, yet it rolls forward relentlessly.
January.
Two months.
March.
More than four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The energy of the Two-Qi Peak becomes increasingly robust and explosive.
This day.
The Yun Qing and Yun De Divine Empyrean Sect of the Shenxiao Sect, who had always stood proudly atop the clouds as if wandering in the heavens, suddenly stirred.
Stepping on auspicious clouds, I stroll forward with ease.
"They're here!"
The people from all sides had anticipated this, and upon seeing this, they were not surprised but rather shocked.
Daoist Yuan Shan had been on guard for a long time.
Seeing the two Daoists move, he stared at them as they approached. Golden Lotus lotuses appeared in his sleeves, shimmering with layers of talismans. Just as he was on guard, a sudden surge of Yin Qi made his hair stand on end.
"The Red Yin Old Demon!"
Daoist Yuan Shan was already on guard. Before he could turn around, he threw the Golden Lotus in his hand towards the direction from which the yin wind was coming. He formed a hand seal, and Golden Light immediately shone brightly. The Golden Lotus swelled up in mid-air and collided violently with the gray whip that was flying through the air.
Boom!
The Golden Lotus, rooted in the void, swayed violently as it was struck by the long whip.
"Evil creature!"
The Daoist Yuan Shan was hunched over, yet his face was filled with anger. He saw at the end of the long whip that a sinister old demon materialized from the swirling wind. Its skin was like tree bark, and its long hair was withered and terrifying.
It was none other than the Red Yin Old Demon.
"Red Yin Whip".
Daoist Yuan Shan dared not be careless. He activated his Daoist magic, condensed talismans, and blessed the Golden Lotus. Although his Golden Lotus was also refined from a spiritual object and inlaid with thousands of talismans, possessing the power to ward off ghosts and gods, he was, after all, a newly promoted immortal master who had only advanced for eight hundred years. His time in refining treasures was short, and compared to the 'Red Yin Whip' refined from the Red Yin Old Demon's own body and cultivated through the union of life and death, it was far inferior.
Facing a formidable foe on one hand, and having to be wary of the Divine Firmament behind him on the other, it was truly difficult to fully utilize all his cultivation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, after several rounds of collision, the Golden Lotus's Golden Light grew stronger and more erratic. The void cracked segment by segment.
In an instant.
Suddenly, the Black Haze Old Devil threw out a ball of dark light, which went straight for the Golden Lotus.
"Snort!"
Daoist Yuan Shan remained calm. He heard a cold snort from the side, Daoist Nun Cheng Jin move.
A magic sword made of copper coins suddenly shot out from his sleeve.
"Roar!"
Suddenly it transformed into Golden Dragon, roaring as it opened its maw and swallowed the dark light whole.
Bang bang bang!
The dark light trembled wildly, then exploded again.
The Golden Dragon let out a mournful cry and transformed into Copper-Coin Sword, flying back. The dark light also revealed its true form: a demonic jade pendant. It spun slowly and landed amidst layers of black smoke.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Amidst billowing black smoke, a muscular man in a black robe strode out. His movements caused the heavens and earth to tremble and roar. Without uttering a sound, the man, clutching a jade pendant in one hand, stepped out of the black smoke and, without a word, threw a punch at the Daoist Nun Cheng Jin.
His fists strike like dragons, crushing everything in their path.
"Duh!"
With Daoist Nun Cheng Jin instantly unleashed thirty-six Golden Light Talisman, forming Vajra Dharma Form that stood firm as an immovable mountain, directly facing the force of the fist.
And she kept going.
One hand Hand Seals, the other holds a magic sword, feet step on the Harmony Ridge, and incantations are chanted:
"The heavens are clear Earth Spirit is auspicious; the soldiers follow the seal, and the generals obey orders. Your disciple Yao Bisong, by the decree of the Mount Mao Patriarch, Cheng Jin requests the Five Ghosts of the Central Region, Yao Bisong; the Five Ghosts of the North, Lin Jingzhong; the Five Ghosts of the West, Cai Ziliang; the Five Ghosts of the South, Zhang Zigui; and the Five Ghosts of the East, Chen Guixian, to urgently dispatch the Yin Soldier and generals to Seven Treasures Mountain to subdue the Black Haze Old Devil. Quickly receive the order and carry it out! This is the decree of the Mount Mao Patriarch!"
The mind moves and the Dharma follows.
Five plumes of black smoke suddenly appeared, and five generals bowed before them in a flash, shouting, "We will obey the law!"
Daoist Nun Cheng Jin pointed her magic sword, the Mount Mao Five Ghosts immediately sprang into action. They swarmed forward, forming five groups, and surrounded the Black Haze Old Devil who was fiercely attacking the Talisman Vajra.
"A trick!"
The Black Haze Old Devil snorted, ignoring the shattering Vajra Talisman, and instead punched the general to the north. The punch sent shockwaves through the five ghosts, causing them to groan and their auras and forms to dim by a third.
"Maximum five hits."
Daoist Nun Cheng Jin frowned. She glanced at the Vajra Talisman that was about to collapse and was about to break apart. Ignoring her heartache, she moved her magic sword again, shooting out talismans that connected the Seven Treasures Peaks. This was her secret technique: setting up the Mount Mao Formation.
The two are entangled.
The two righteous and two demonic forces were locked in a fierce battle.
"A great opportunity!"
Seeing this from afar, the two Divine Firmament Daoists Hand Seals with one hand, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into lightning. With lightning speed, they flashed into Seven Treasures Mountain and headed straight for Two-Qi Peak.
"How dare you?!"
Daoist Yuan Shan was entangled with the Red Yin Old Demon when he saw this and his eyes widened. He roared and threw out another Golden Lotus to block Yun Qing. Daoist Nun Cheng Jin was also multitasking. While setting up the formation, she threw out eighteen talismans in succession, which instantly formed the Sixfold Formation, blocking Yun De's way.
"You think you can stop me from following the Mount Mao Trail?"
Upon seeing the Golden Lotus, Yun Qing scoffed. Without even engaging it, she dodged the Golden Lotus in a flash of lightning and plunged into the Two-Qi Peak. Yun De was even more formidable; enveloped in lightning, he charged forward relentlessly. Just as he was about to crash into the Sixfold Formation, three bolts of purple lightning struck down from above, slamming into the Sixfold Formation.
The formation remained unchanged, yet a small gap was blasted open.
Yun De transformed into lightning, disappearing in a flash without delay, and followed Yun Qing into the Two-Qi Peak.
"Oh no!"
"Not good!"
Upon seeing this, Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan were both startled. Just as they were about to break free from their enemies and enter Two-Qi Peak to help, they saw two sword lights soaring into the sky from Two-Qi Peak.
Following closely behind.
Two muffled groans could be faintly heard, and then lightning and thunder shot out at a speed far faster than when they had entered.
Thunderous package.
Ordinary people couldn't see it, but Daoist Nun Cheng Jin, Daoist Yuan Shan, and the two demons could see it clearly. They saw that Yun Qing and Yun De's bodies were cracked and bleeding profusely, with flashes of cold light.
As if.
It would shatter into pieces with the slightest touch.
"This--"
Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan exchanged a glance, both showing emotion. Even the Red Yin Old Demon and the Black Haze Old Devil, who were launching a fierce attack, couldn't help but slow down their offensive.
All around was completely silent.
Within the Two-Qi Peak, all was equally silent. Only the sharp Sword-Ray and boundless sword intent, seemingly unstoppable, emerged from the mountain, piercing straight into the clouds and scattering the white clouds for thousands of miles.
"Such powerful sword intent!"
Such sword intent did not frighten Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Black Haze Old Devil Xia, but Daoist Yuan Shan and Red Yin Old Demon's expressions changed and their hearts tightened.
This level of sword intent was already enough to pose a threat to the two of them.
Facing this sword head-on, although one might not suffer a miserable defeat like Yun Qing and Yun De, one must still be careful and dare not be careless.
However, after the initial surprise...
The four powerful figures looked at the Two-Qi Peak again, and their expressions changed drastically.
The two Daoist priests from Mount Mao secretly cried out in alarm, while the two demons, on the other hand, were overjoyed.
The Red Yin Old Demon cracked his whip, causing a loud 'snap' that shook the void, and burst into laughter, "Haha! The Daoist Domain is shattered, the path to Changsheng is severed, this boy's life is nearing its end!"
The expressions on the faces of the two Mount Mao priests grew increasingly grim.
"The Daoist Domain is destroyed?"
"The path to Changsheng is severed?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from all directions awoke from their shock and all looked towards the Two-Qi Peak. Although they could not discern its origins or see the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, the energy that had Central Plains the Two-Qi Peak was now showing signs of dissipating.
Not long after.
The trend of disarray is becoming increasingly apparent, the decline is set, and it is unlikely to reverse.
"Pity."
Sighs echoed from all directions.
Becoming an immortal is not easy.
The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt could have Changsheng, but human calamities were too great, and even with the help of the Mount Mao Dao, she could not defy fate.
Even Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan sighed.
Far away.
The two severely injured Divine Firmament collapsed onto the clouds, their bodies like shattered porcelain, even their faces showing signs of disarray, like spiderwebs. Yet, as they tended to their injuries, they gazed at Two-Qi Peak, their fear and resentment vanishing, replaced by boundless joy.
"Happy!"
Despite his severe injuries, he lingered there, seemingly determined to witness the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's Daoist Domain crumble before he could truly Mind Settling of his fate.
"The path to Changsheng is cut off."
"The Seven Treasures Demoness is doomed!"
The two felt a sense of relief, and the resentment of losing an arm in the past and the new grudges they had just formed seemed to be easing. Once the Two-Qi Peak completely dissipated, they would be free of all worries.
As things stand, there seems to be no hope of a turnaround.
