A Grand Unity Golden Immortal dealing with a Golden Immortal
was as easy as crushing an ant.
Four bolts of lightning came screaming toward them. The immense threat of death left Bright Rabbit and the other three frozen in place.
Death was right before their eyes! There was no escaping it!
But in the next moment, they found themselves inside a hazy world.
The four of them stood there, bewildered and at a loss.
Outside, the four bolts of lightning struck empty air. The four had vanished without a trace.
"Hmm?"
A massive shadow let out a puzzled grunt.
Then the shadow in the sky abruptly disappeared.
In its place, a middle-aged man appeared in midair.
The man wore a golden robe, and his head was covered in golden hair. Two formidable horns were hidden among the locks.
Dragonkin who took human form probably couldn't escape the rule that their horns couldn't be transformed away.
"Show yourselves!"
The four couldn't possibly have vanished into thin air. After sweeping his gaze around, the Golden Dragon bellowed.
Whoosh!
The space around him rippled, and a scroll appeared before him.
It was the Qiankun Diagram.
The Qiankun Diagram shimmered with a faint glow, clearly no ordinary treasure.
The Golden Dragon's pupils contracted at the sight, and he abruptly reached out to grab it.
"What a treasure!"
But the Qiankun Diagram suddenly vanished, then reappeared a hundred miles away, in Li Xuan's hand.
Li Qing looked at the Golden Dragon with a mocking smile and wagged an index finger at him. "No matter how good a treasure is, it still isn't yours."
The Golden Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly and gave Li Xuan a brief once-over.
Then, as if he'd seen the funniest thing in the world, he burst out laughing. "A Mystic Immortal? A mere early-stage Mystic Immortal? Am I seeing things?"
Li Xuan's mouth twitched. Clearly displeased, he said, "What? You look down on Mystic Immortals?"
"You really are ignorant and fearless."
The Golden Dragon's gaze shifted to the Qiankun Diagram in Li Xuan's hand. His laughter faded, and his voice turned cold. "Still, though I didn't catch a big fish today, I've landed a pleasant surprise!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Rumble!
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color. Seven or eight bolts of lightning, each as thick as a water vat, shot in from every direction!
Against an attack from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, what could a mere Mystic Immortal do but wait for death?
With a crack, the void shuddered from the impact, and a vast cloud of green smoke erupted where they stood.
The Golden Dragon smirked and strode forward, intending to collect the Qiankun Diagram.
As for that reckless Mystic Immortal? His soul had probably already scattered.
"Hey, I don't think you look down on Mystic Immortals. I think you're blind—you can't even see one."
But just then, a voice rang out five hundred miles ahead.
The Golden Dragon looked up and saw Li Xuan standing there, perfectly unharmed.
Divine ability: Illusory Shift.
Now that Li Xuan had reached the Mystic Immortal realm, one Illusory Shift could carry him thousands of miles!
He hadn't gone that far simply because he was worried the Golden Dragon wouldn't be able to find him...
He couldn't let this dragon get away...
"Looking for death!"
An Immortal could move five hundred miles in an instant. That was perfectly normal.
After all, as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could cover one or two thousand miles in a single step if he wished. It was no great feat.
So as soon as he spoke, he shifted as well, appearing beside Li Xuan in an instant!
With a vicious look on his face, the Golden Dragon reached out to grab Li Xuan by the head.
"Die!"
With a low shout, he crushed Li Xuan's figure to pieces!
Unfortunately, the red and white mess that should have appeared never did.
Instead, Li Xuan burst into a mass of spiritual energy, which then slowly dissipated.
The Golden Dragon looked puzzled and raised his hand.
There was nothing in it. The spiritual energy before him had vanished, leaving nothing behind.
"You really are blind! Completely blind! What kind of dragon are you? You're a lobster! I'm over here!"
A wildly triumphant laugh rang out. Sure enough, Li Xuan was standing five hundred miles away.
He wore a smug, obnoxious grin that made anyone who saw it want to punch him.
At the same time, he raised one hand and gave the Golden Dragon the middle finger.
By rights, the Primordial Beings shouldn't have understood what the middle finger meant.
But paired with Li Xuan's smug grin and contemptuous expression, the gesture hit home.
Good grief, the sheer sense of disdain was impossible to miss. Anyone who saw it would have been furious.
"You damned brat! You think you can get away with disrespecting me just because you're fast!?"
The Golden Dragon finally flew into a complete rage, realizing he'd been toyed with.
His eyes turned a deep gold-red. With a low growl, he unleashed a deafening roar!
He vanished, only to reappear at Li Xuan's location!
Boom!
Li Xuan's figure burst into a cloud of spiritual energy.
The Golden Dragon didn't stop. He kept charging!
Five hundred miles away, Li Xuan's figure had barely appeared when the Golden Dragon was on him again!
"You little brat! Let's see how many times you can shift!"
Bang!
Once again, Li Xuan turned into a cloud of spiritual energy.
But the Golden Dragon vanished too. In the next instant, he and Li Xuan appeared in the same place!
"Go on, run!"
The Golden Dragon, his face contorted with rage, swiped at Li Xuan again.
He was certain this time he could beat the ignorant little cultivator into a pulp!
Seeing the shock on the little cultivator's face, the Golden Dragon felt nothing but satisfaction and scorn.
Smack!
The little cultivator exploded, once again turning into a cloud of spiritual energy.
"Hmm!?"
The Golden Dragon's eyes filled with disbelief as he looked up again.
The chase had taken them nearly two thousand miles farther.
Without realizing it, the Golden Dragon had entered the territory of Mount Taixuan.
There, atop the highest mountain before him, the damn little cultivator sat cross-legged on a lotus dais, smiling as if he were admiring some great treasure.
Wait.
A great treasure?
A sudden sense of foreboding rose in the Golden Dragon's heart.
To reach the fifth level of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had to be alert and clever by nature.
Over the years, he'd faced and witnessed who knew how many dangers. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he immediately moved to retreat.
A fisherman could wind up the fish himself!
But before he could turn around, the bright weather around him abruptly became an endless sea of dense fog.
The hazy world stretched all around him, and he could no longer tell east from west or north from south!
The Golden Dragon's face changed instantly. He shifted, drew a sharp sword, and donned a glittering golden suit of armor.
Completely on edge and ready to defend himself, he hurriedly flew in every direction.
But he couldn't escape the fog!
Yet the fog didn't attack him right away.
Ahead, the mist churned and parted, opening a path straight to the mountaintop.
Li Xuan's hateful, smug figure appeared once more.
Li Xuan looked at the Golden Dragon as if he were a peerless beauty. After wiping the corner of his mouth, he let out a sinister cackle.
The Golden Dragon's skin crawled under his gaze. Unable to hold back a roar, he charged at Li Xuan!
This creature really was only a Mystic Immortal! There was no need to fear him!
As long as he killed Li Xuan, this strange formation would disappear at once!
Li Xuan merely smiled, then looked at the Golden Dragon with a calm, unruffled expression. "This is Mount Taixuan, where I grew up. Welcome to my world, you arrogant little darling."
