Heaven's Will Gone Mad! Blood Lightning Baptism! The Old Codger's Arrow, Sent with His Wife
Faced with a group of cunning and incredibly wise Nascent Soul Old Monster, all tactics like luring the tiger away from the mountain or Divide and Lure the Enemy are useless.
The combined spiritual power of the Nascent Soul cultivators was truly like the gathering of clouds before a storm, and the first stirrings of wind and thunder that chilled the heart.
This is a powerful trend, like a raging torrent rushing down.
Chen Dengming, Fu Changyin, Su Yan Yan, and others were like a city wall blocking the flood, attempting to stop the tsunami that had clearly exceeded the height of the city wall.
The outcome seems obvious: this city wall will also be submerged and washed away.
But at this moment, in order to cover the departure of tens of thousands of the Longevity Sect disciples and to buy time for more reinforcements to arrive, they must act accordingly.
Whether it's Chen Dengming, the head of the Longevity Sect, or Su Yan Yan and Fu Changyin, the patriarchs of Longevity Old Ancestor, they all bear an unshirkable responsibility.
In the Cultivation World, where strength is paramount, this is not uncommon, but it is certainly not a frequent occurrence either.
In the distance, a group of Nascent Soul Old Monster roared and charged forward, Swift as the Wind and Lightning, closing the distance rapidly.
Among the people charging at the forefront, a Nascent Soul Cultivator dressed in a black robe had a gloomy expression, and his deep eyes were filled with killing intent as he locked onto Chen Dengming from a distance, as if he had some deep-seated grudge against him.
Another figure, dressed in white robes and crown, with a handsome face and sharp eyes, appeared young but was clearly a cunning and treacherous old man well-versed in intrigue. He was also staring intently at Chen Dengming, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Liao Jizuo, Hall Master of Freedom; Ai Yunsheng, Palace Master of the Three Saints Palace Gu Sage Palace."
Chen Dengming quickly recognized the identities of the two Nascent Soul Old Monsters; they were indeed enemies of his.
However, among the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Old Monster, one could see the Mochao Crown Prince Heavenly Devil Sect Devilish Son, the Myriad Gu Sect Prince of the Heavenly Demon Nightmare Country Lord, the Sect Master of the Myriad Gu Sect, the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master of the Body Sage Palace, the Law Sage Palace Master, the Sect Shuangxue Body Sect Master, and the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sword Sect. But the Northern Yin Holy Mother, whom he greatly feared, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that things were not so simple.
"Senior Brother, be careful. There might be others hiding who haven't shown themselves yet."
After reminding Fu Changyin telepathically, Chen Dengming turned around and looked at the remaining 30% of the disciples who had not yet completed their evacuation. His mind raced, and he came up with a temporary solution, resolutely saying...
"I'm on their Kill List. Third Senior Sister can't distract them, but some of them hate me to the core, so I'll give them a shot!"
"Fifth Junior Brother!" Fu Changyin was about to remind him.
The next moment, Chen Dengming rushed out of the great formation. The instant he activated his Nascent Soul Power, the faint fluctuations emanating from the Soul Devouring Bow in his hand suddenly burst forth with intense brilliance.
Chen Dengming quickly drew back the bowstring, Soul Devouring Bow instantly became Yin Qi and filled with black light, surrounded by vengeful spirits. A golden soul arrow was instantly formed.
"Whoosh!--"
The arrow shot out swiftly, heading straight for the Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace, who was charging at the forefront hundreds of miles away.
After firing an arrow, Chen Dengming didn't stop and quickly moved towards the two Nascent Soul cultivators who were rushing to reinforce him from the west.
"Chen Baimao!"
The Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace let out a furious roar and suddenly pointed out with a finger.
Buzz--
Thousands of Gu-like Gu Creatures, resembling black mosquitoes, swept out, instantly engulfing the incoming Golden Core Soul Arrows.
The soul arrow flashed with light and vanished into nothingness, piercing through countless Gu Creatures, ready to unleash its formidable power.
Unexpectedly, some of the Gu Creatures suddenly released powerful spiritual energy fluctuations and then exploded.
Boom!--
A burst of light instantly engulfed the soul arrow, causing them to self-destruct.
"Chen Baimao! Today is the day you die!"
The Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace suddenly changed direction, let out an angry roar, and headed straight for Chen Dengming.
The Mochao Crown Prince's expression changed, and he shouted, "Palace Master Ai, proceed according to plan! Slaughter the Longevity Sect! Chen Baimao won't stand idly by. He's deliberately luring us in; don't fall for his trap!"
"This scoundrel killed my Three Saints Palace Saint Son Wenxin Deputy Palace Master. This enmity is irreconcilable. My Three Saints Palace has come here for him, and we cannot tolerate this for even a moment longer. We swear to kill him!"
"Mochao Crown Prince, let's go hunt down this Chen Baimao. You dozen or so people are more than enough to take down the Longevity Sect!"
At that moment, the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master of the Body Sage Palace followed Ai Yunsheng, the Palace Master of the Gu Sage Palace, without hesitation.
"Chen Baimao killed my dao companion, and today I will personally slay him! Mochao Crown Prince, the Longevity Sect is yours to command!"
Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, also roared and chased after Chen Dengming.
Even knowing that the cultivators of the Longevity Sect were of a certain nature, they only needed to collectively attack the Longevity Sect wipe out its disciples.
As the head of the Longevity Sect, Chen Dengming would never sit idly by; the monk may escape, but the temple cannot.
Despite their deep-seated hatred and the excellent opportunity to kill their enemy, these old Old Devil were unwilling to gamble on it, nor were they willing to let Chen Dengming leave easily.
Because they asked themselves honestly, if it were them, they would definitely flee immediately. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.
"Damn it!! If we fail this time, I will definitely hold you guilty of delaying the battle!"
The Mochao Crown Prince's face was grim, but he could only helplessly watch as the four people left the group to give chase.
Both the Shuangxue Body Sect Master and the Law Sage Palace Master, who had intended to follow and kill Chen Dengming, abandoned their plans upon hearing this.
The Law Sage Palace Master glanced at Su Yan Yan, who was rapidly fleeing towards the Longevity Sect not far away, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said.
"Enough, Mochao Crown Prince. With the four of them plus the hidden Northern Yin Holy Mother, Chen Baimao has brought about his own demise. While he was dividing us, he was also inadvertently weakening their power."
The Nightmare Country Lord said, "Indeed, the thirteen of us working together can quickly break through the Longevity Sect's Mountain Protecting Formation, slaughter the Longevity Sect disciples, and kill the Longevity Sect's patriarch as a warning to others. Let's hurry over there!"
The Heavenly Devil Sect Devilish Son, his figure concealed within a cloud of Devil Qi, said, "We still need to be careful of the Longevity First Ancestor, Fu Changyin. He must be nearby, otherwise the Fighting Longevity Lord wouldn't have left so easily."
Fu Changyin and this Third Ancestor Su Yanyan have been missing for six or seven years. Now Su Yanyan has broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. If Fu Changyin also breaks through...
Upon hearing this, all the demons felt a chill run down their spines, and at the same time, they thought of the Longevity Sect's notoriously treacherous nature.
Looking ahead at the Longevity Sect, who were frantically preparing to retreat like ants on a hot pan, he suddenly felt uncertain.
Is the Longevity Sect merely using an empty city ruse to bluff, or is there another trap?
Seeing this, the Law Sage Palace Master sneered, "How easy is it to become Spirit Transformation? If Fu Changyin had become Spirit Transformation, why would Chen Baimao have fled and led us away?"
If you hesitate and become suspicious of each other now, I fear we will soon be defeated without a fight!
Upon hearing this, all the Old Devil put aside their own thoughts.
He stopped making statements that could disrupt morale.
They all sped up and rushed towards the Longevity Sect, some even using hand seals to unleash Law Treasure from hundreds of miles away as a preliminary probe.
At the same time, Su Yan Yan had already flown back to the Longevity Sect and quickly activated the Mountain Protecting Formation to begin resisting the overwhelming onslaught of Law Treasure from afar.
Instantly, the magic array erupted with a series of loud booms, like iron balls rolling on an iron plate, causing even the buildings Mountain Gate to shake and sway.
Shocks and ripples frequently appeared on the surface of the egg-shaped magic circle, with wisps of broken spiritual light flowing like pulse waves.
"Junior sister, with more than a dozen of them attacking at once, even if you and I defend together with the Mountain Protecting Formation, we can only hold out for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
At that moment, Fu Changyin's voice resonated in Su Yan Yan's mind.
"Furthermore, I'm worried they'll send people to hunt down our disciples and force us out of the magic array."
"Now I am in the shadows, you are in the light. You alone will guard the formation, while I will launch a surprise attack from the shadows, trying to kill a few as quickly as possible to throw their formation into chaos."
Su Yan Yan frowned slightly and transmitted her thoughts, "Senior Brother, but this is too dangerous!"
Fu Changyin replied without hesitation, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."
In this situation, someone has to make a sacrifice. You still have a future, but my future was cut off when I failed to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage!
"Perhaps there's still a chance, Senior Brother. Have you forgotten? There's always a way out."
We are all favored by Heaven. Perhaps once Master takes control of the Palace of Blessings, you will receive new blessings. We all have a chance!
Su Yan Yan reluctantly tried to dissuade her.
As the eldest brother, Fu Changyin was like a father to the other disciples in the sect, and even Chen Dengming, he was relatively unfamiliar with them because he was always taciturn and kept to himself.
However, Su Yan Yan did not feel that Fu Changyin was distant, simply because he had given her the most help in the past, filling the gap in this aspect that her master Lu Xiucheng had filled.
"Junior Sister Su, don't be so attached. Everything is predestined, and nothing is up to us."
Fu Changyin smiled faintly and casually, his voice gradually fading away, "In my past years of cultivation, I was cautious and diligent, never daring to relax in the slightest, and I would never take any risks if I could avoid them, focusing solely on the path to immortality."
Having witnessed too many injustices, I restrained myself from interfering.
Having witnessed so much darkness, I tend to avoid it whenever possible.
Honestly, after a while, I feel very tired and my mind is suppressed and distorted.
It's not as carefree and unrestrained as the fifth brother, who avoids danger when he should and cuts to the bone when he shouldn't, seeking a clean and decisive end!
Looking back over the past two thousand years, I realize it hasn't been a happy time. Now, with only a hundred years left to live, let me have one last, exhilarating moment!
"Senior Brother"
Su Yan Yan had no words to dissuade him further, and could only let that aura quietly fade away.
A sense of the will of heaven and earth gradually began to permeate the surrounding air, filling it with oppressive tension.
"All disciples of the Longevity Sect, heed my command!"
Su Yan Yan suddenly let out a long shout, her voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth. The veil on her pretty face fell, revealing a heroic and valiant appearance, proving that women are no less capable than men.
Many disciples of the Longevity Sect who were preparing to board the spirit boat stopped what they were doing, looked up at Su Yan Yan in the sky, and heard the voice of the Third Ancestor resounding throughout the entire Mountain Gate.
"The enemy's attack is imminent, and time is of the essence."
"Those who remain have few chances to escape. How many are willing to join me in guarding the Mountain Gate, activating the Thirteen Peaks Formation, and fighting for the survival of all our departed fellow disciples?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred slightly, but seeing the violently shaking Mountain Protecting Formation and Su Yan Yan's slender yet protective figure standing in front of everyone, the scene quickly quieted down.
"Third Grandmaster! I am willing to stand with you through thick and thin! I am Li Chengfang, a disciple of Longing Peak of the Thirteen Peaks. I was born a long-lived person of the Longevity Sect, and I will die a long-lived ghost of the Longevity Sect!"
In the crowd, a female cultivator suddenly leaped into the air, her gaze resolute.
This scene immediately stirred the Blood Qi of many other male cultivators, who rushed out to respond.
No matter how cowardly they usually are, at this critical moment when the sect's survival is at stake, even their master is willing to guard the Mountain Gate instead of abandoning them. How can they possibly continue to cowardly or flee?
"Those bastards from the Tiandao Sect always call me a turtle. Today, I'm going to show them what I'm made of! Even a turtle can bite when it's cornered!"
"If this Nascent Soul Old Monster wants to destroy my Longevity Sect, he'll have to step over my dead body first! My Longevity Sect doesn't provoke trouble, but it's not afraid of trouble either; every member of our sect can inherit the fighting spirit!"
"Third Grandmaster, we stand with you through thick and thin!"
Su Yan Yan watched as the remaining disciples flew to their respective mountain peaks and quickly entered the various Formation nodes. Her heart trembled, knowing that these disciples had truly made the decision to die.
"Hahahaha--I absolutely can't be absent from such a lively moment! If you little brats aren't leaving, then of course Second Master won't be leaving either!"
Just then, Jiang Jian's figure shot back from behind.
"Second Senior Brother!" Su Yan Yan's pretty face changed slightly.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother has already taken over the management of those disciples who evacuated."
Jiang Jian raised his sleeves, his face radiant, and channeled his Nascent Soul Power to its limit, unleashing two streams of Nascent Soul Power to help Su Yan Yan share some of the pressure of the Formation and resist the Formation Law Treasure bombarding from outside the Outer Dao.
Su Yan Yan scanned Chen Dengming, who had disappeared into the distance, with her Divine Sense. Just as she was about to remind Jiang Jian to go and help Chen Dengming, a series of low and long booms erupted from ahead, like a barrage of cannon fire.
Thirteen enemy Nascent Soul Old Monster had all arrived at once, their power truly Hun Tian and startling even ghosts and gods, making the night difficult to see for thousands of miles.
"The Longevity Sect will be annihilated today!!"
The Mochao Crown Prince, his face cold and menacing, struck first.
In the blink of an eye, a Law Treasure shot out, resembling a black, serrated scythe, wreathed in crooked black flames, darting and flashing wildly, or like a strangely shaped python, before crashing down with tremendous force.
"Go!"
As the Heavenly Devil Sect Devilish Son made a hand seal, he summoned a ferocious demonic dragon, which spewed evil Devil Qi and transformed into a chilling black sword that plunged straight down.
The Law Sage Palace Master unleashed a steel bracelet that shimmered with a pale purple light, like a rushing torrent.
The other Nascent Soul True Lord all attacked simultaneously, aiming to break through the Longevity Sect's Mountain Protecting Formation in one fell swoop.
Such a simultaneous onslaught of so many fierce Nascent Soul True Lord is unprecedented in the world.
The combined siphon effect almost instantly drained all the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world.
"Thunderous!!"
The entire Mountain Protecting Formation trembled violently, and the rumbling sound that erupted spread for hundreds of miles, still as breathtaking as ever.
The surface of the barrier was instantly as if a huge gap had been cut open, the Mountain Gate shook, the thirteen peaks swayed together, and houses, forests, doors and windows all emitted terrifying trembling sounds.
Su Yan Yan and Jiang Jian both turned deathly pale instantly, groaned, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.
The disciples guarding the Thirteen Peaks stronghold trembled violently, many fainting on the spot. Some of the stronger disciples coughed up blood, their bodies shaking violently like seedlings in the wind.
With just one strike, nearly half of the seven or eight thousand disciples of the Longevity Sect fell.
Just as the many Nascent Soul True Lords were about to recover their energy and launch the next round of attacks, the sky suddenly darkened and became oppressive, and a vast and cold Divine Sense will, accompanied by intense pressure, suddenly descended.
It seemed as if a majestic, colossal creature was descending from afar, looking down upon us.
All the Nascent Soul True Lord' expressions changed, as if a great calamity was about to befall them, as if the sky were about to collapse.
"It's Fu Changyin."
Mochao Crown Prince was about to offer a reminder.
However, by this time, everyone's Law Treasure attacks had already been launched one after another, and it would be a step too late to immediately mobilize Law Treasure defenses.
Suddenly, a violent red flash appeared in the Sky Dome above, as if tearing open a piece of the night to reveal a large patch of blood-like light.
After the bloodshed, Fu Changyin's figure appeared and disappeared, the blue light in his eyes gradually turning cold and ruthless.
The crimson lightning, like a sharp guillotine, fiercely cleaved through the dark clouds, shooting out a dazzling, insane crimson light, like a pillar of light falling towards the Mochao Crown Prince.
The Mochao Crown Prince roared and quickly used his protective Law Treasure to defend himself.
Just then, the oppressive force descended even more fiercely.
Like a mad, enormous blood-red eye slowly descending from the sky, locking onto all the Nascent Soul True Lord, with Fu Changyin's figure, his entire body radiating blue veins and azure Dao power, right in the center of the pupil.
"Go to hell!"
With a deafening 'crash,' bolts of blood-red lightning struck one after another, like crimson serpents coiled with flames, unleashing a thunderous downpour that surged down in a crimson torrent.
"Senior Brother!"
More than 700 miles away, Chen Dengming's expression changed. He could already sense the unusual, even somewhat crazed and bloody, aura of the Heavenly Dao from afar.
It was a mad aura, different from the cold and ruthless aura of the Heavenly Dao he had encountered before, seemingly foreshadowing misfortune.
You can't even save yourself!
With a roar Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, made a hand seal and grabbed forward. Strange runes and auras swirled between his five fingers and ignited into flames.
Book of Freedom!
Chen Dengming immediately felt his earlier worries and surprise being stirred up and amplified, causing subtle changes to occur in his body.
But in that instant, his eyes were filled with silver light, and all his emotional fluctuations vanished instantly.
Boom!--
A pale, phosphorescent flying sword shot swiftly towards him, instantly tearing his clothes into flying shreds and fragments by the sharp Sword Qi.
"Bass--"
The flying sword barely managed to tear through Chen Dengming's instantly erupting Magnetic Body Protection, creating a long, bloody gash in his skin. It was then repelled by the Magnetic Body Protection that erupted from Chen Dengming's 36,000 pores.
Chen Dengming let out a low shout, his eyes gleaming with divine light. He suddenly drew his bow, and the Soul Devouring Bow was instantly enveloped in mist. Golden Light flowed towards the bowstring like water, instantly condensing into a Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.
The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow was crafted from the Nalan Huishan's Nascent Soul Divine Soul, the deputy hall master of the Hall of Passion!
The instant the arrow materialized, Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, had his pupils shrink and his heart pound like a drum. He stared at the pained face that appeared on the arrowhead with disbelief and rage. His dao companion, his beloved!
"You want your wife? I'll give her away! Let's see how you save her then!"
Chen Dengming suddenly released his fingers, Nascent Soul Soul Arrow instantly shot through the air like a dazzling Golden Light rainbow, accompanied by a great roar of wind and thunder, heading Cao Zhiqing, the astonished Palace Master of the Body Sage Palace.
The next moment, the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow suddenly vanished into nothingness amidst a Golden Light, leaving behind an afterimage that was difficult to capture.
Cao Zhiqing immediately sensed an extremely strong threat, a danger of having his soul locked in. His hair stood on end, and he immediately summoned his Law Treasure.
"Don't hurt her!"
Liao Jizuo, the Hall Master of Freedom, immediately roared and attacked, trying to intercept Cao Zhiqing before he could.
But at that moment, Chen Dengming drew his bow again, his eyes gleaming with Silver Light, and his white hair flying in the wind.
The Divine Transformation Stone into a dazzling white arrow, landing on the bowstring as if it were connected to his Flesh and Blood, sharing his thoughts.
Before the arrow was even drawn, its force stirred up thunder and lightning, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color.
