Hongjun: I am despicable, so what?

The power of the Four Swords united, and endless destructive sword energy rained down from the heavens, attacking Hongjun and the other three.

The events of this moment happened far too quickly.

Hongjun secretly cheated, using a tiny bit of Great Dao Power to form the Myriad Heavens Welcoming Jade Banner to protect himself. He hadn't intended to use it, but what he received in return was sword energy. He wasn't holding back anymore; he was laying his cards on the table.

The others were in an even more pathetic state.

Old Ancestor Yin Yang's defenses shattered. At the last second, he threw out the Taiji Diagram to shield the other five, but was pierced through the chest by Chaos Sword Qi and instantly perished.

Before dying, a smile appeared on his face, a smile of release.

At the very last moment, Old Ancestor Qiankun enlarged the Qiankun Cauldron and covered everyone with it.

The Qiankun Cauldron collapsed with a bang, but fortunately, with the Taiji Diagram covering everyone, he managed to save his life.

To be honest, it was thanks to Hongjun's reminder before entering the formation that he had taken it to heart. Two dead, one injured, one alive. Without even thinking, he knew that he and Yin Yang were the ones who would die, so he had kept a backup plan, ready at any moment to use the Qiankun Cauldron to cover himself and the others.

Otherwise...

Great Immortal Yang Mei instinctively manifested his true form, the Hollow Willow, creating boundless spatial barriers to block the Chaos Sword Qi.

Two incredibly terrifying forces collided, plunging the world into darkness. Great Immortal Yang Mei's form was enveloped in the chaotic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

However, the spatial barrier proved quite effective, once again blocking a layer of the Chaos Sword Qi's power.

But Yang Mei, trapped within the elements, was not faring as well.

He was stunned.

What was happening??

When did the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation gain this move? How come he didn't know about it?

Of course, he didn't know, because this was the setting of the book: the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken unless the Four Saints simultaneously took the Four Swords.

At this moment, he remembered Hongjun's gaze, that look that seemed to say, "You absolute idiot."

And Shi Chen's retort, "Your mother sells fried dough sticks!"

He finally understood. Hongjun going to retrieve the Four Swords of Zhu Xian wasn't to deal with them, but to prevent Luohu from going berserk out of desperation.

Damn it!

He had actually dug his own grave. No wonder they had looked at him like he was a pig just now.

After the sword strike, Luohu's face was pale, but his demeanor remained manic.

With just one strike, he had heavily wounded two, killed one person of comparable cultivation, and forced someone with significantly higher cultivation out of the Primordial World. Who else could boast such a record besides the Demon Ancestor Luohu?

"Hahaha! Who else!"

"Me."

Hongjun's voice, which Luohu found very unaccustomed to, emerged from the dust.

The madness in Luohu's eyes instantly receded. His gaze refocused ahead.

As the dust settled, Hongjun stood there, his clothes somewhat torn, but otherwise unharmed.

Beside him lay Old Ancestor Qiankun, not entirely dead, and Old Ancestor Yin Yang, who had completely returned to the Great Dao.

As for Shi Chen and Wangshu...

Shi Chen had directly escaped using the Law of Time. Wangshu had used her Innate Supreme Treasure to block the attack, but her situation was not good either; her Innate Supreme Treasure had also shattered.

"Hongjun, no matter how cunning your schemes, in the end, I am the one who won!"

Seeing Hongjun appear, Luohu laughed heartily.

Hongjun's gaze swept around. His three corpses had obtained the Sword of Slaughter Immortals, the Sword of Trapping Immortals, and the Sword of Exterminating Immortals.

Shi Chen also held the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand.

Shi Chen had escaped, but not completely.

Although Luohu's strike just now was immensely powerful, its center was aimed at Hongjun.

Therefore, after this strike, the Four Swords within the formation were at the end of their strength. And without Yang Mei's "Vast Expanse," Shi Chen, after dodging the attack, had returned to retrieve the Immortal Slaying Sword.

"You won? Where did you win?"

Shi Chen said coldly:

"Mental victory? Self-consolation?"

Shi Chen still looked quite disheveled. He should have cultivated the Three Corpses technique in the Shi Chen Palace before coming.

Hongjun was now slightly annoyed.

As a Great Dao, this was an emotion he shouldn't have.

But faced with such a situation, who could tolerate it?

In response, Hongjun felt extremely frustrated!

Was Yang Mei this much of an idiot?

Even a pig would know what to do, right? Why was he so stupid!

He looked towards Yang Mei, his eyes filled with endless disdain.

At this moment, Yang Mei beside him was already a remnant Dao charm. His true form had long since left this world.

Just now, Yang Mei had directly burned his origin and fled into the Chaos Void.

The Yang Mei before them was merely a phantom, a residual Dao charm.

Fortunately, Old Ancestor Qiankun had survived.

Poor Old Ancestor Yin Yang had been killed by this scoundrel.

"Hahahaha, Hongjun, look around you. All those people you incited to fight me are either dead or injured, yet you alone are alive!"

Luohu laughed heartily, looking at Hongjun with a playful gaze.

"Isn't this your scheme!"

Hongjun frowned. This outcome was indeed not what he wanted.

But who could have predicted that Yang Mei would suddenly become a pig teammate?

Where was the sharp mind he used when plotting against me?

"Hongjun, you are despicable and shameless, harming your Fellow Daoists. To this day, even if you don't want to admit it, you have to!"

Luohu said again.

"Hehehe."

Facing Luohu's accusations, Hongjun couldn't help but laugh.

"What? Speechless? Is your mind malfunctioning?"

Seeing Hongjun's helpless laughter, Luohu's lips curled upwards.

He wanted Hongjun to be disgraced and unable to continue in the Primordial World.

He had a premonition that if he couldn't become the Demon Ancestor, Hongjun would definitely become the Dao Ancestor!

What is a Dao Ancestor?

A Dao Ancestor represents the origin of all Dao, the Heavenly Dao, supreme and revered by all.

And what he wanted to do was to make Hongjun a target of criticism.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Luohu, I find you very strange. You killed them, yet now you're blaming me? Is this appropriate?"

Hongjun didn't take these words to heart at all.

"Actually, I've always been curious. You call me despicable and hypocritical, but aren't you despicable and hypocritical yourself?"

Hongjun said coldly.

"What right do you have to accuse this poor Daoist?"

"Hmph! Don't lump me in with hypocritical scoundrels like you. At least I dare to admit my own depravity and shamelessness!"

Luohu said furiously.

"Do you dare?"

"You tell me! Do you, Hongjun, dare?"

"I dare."

Hongjun said calmly.

"Uh..."

Luohu was stunned. Shi Chen and Wangshu behind Hongjun, the spectators watching from millions of miles away, and Old Ancestor Qiankun lying on the ground all widened their eyes.

They were all shocked.

"You... what did you say?"

Luohu could hardly believe his ears.
