Chapter 376 Dragon Aura! Chang'an.
The Red Toad True Person, with his flowing sleeves, looked down at the crowd from his high vantage point.
Although he considers himself True Person, he has long since severed all worldly desires and is neither elated by external gains nor saddened by personal losses.
But whenever I think back to when my avatar descended to this place, only to be forcefully driven back by that ignorant and arrogant girl...
How could he not hate?!
At this very moment.
Seeing the panic of the people in Chang'an, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
This is how ordinary people should react when facing him.
Awe, fear, despair.
A smile played on his lips as he scanned the crowd, but he couldn't spot the figure.
"By the way... what about that girl?"
"..."
No one answered.
Red Toad True Person curled his lips and sneered, "Weren't you quite arrogant when you shattered my Dharma body? What's wrong? Now that I've come in person, you're hiding like a coward?"
Upon hearing this...
The emperor's face showed bitterness, his heart filled with complex emotions... On one hand, Guyue's wandering nature had saved his life today.
If she were in Chang'an right now, given that girl's fiery temper, she would definitely be the first to rush forward.
Now that we're no longer in Chang'an City... we've been given a second chance at life.
On the other hand, I don't know why I have this hope.
In this moment of despair, a faint hope stirred within me that figure would appear.
It seemed that the girl could descend from the sky just like before, shattering the gloomy sky with a single punch and trampling all five old geezers under her feet.
Thinking of this...
The emperor gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Oh...
How could the ruler of a nation act like a child, relying on stories from folk tales?
But this is Five Immortals Mountain... Let alone the five True Person gathered here right now, even if any Martial Immortal were randomly sent from within Five Immortals Mountain, no matter how skilled or talented they were... they would still be too young.
Faced with such a situation, what else could they do but throw their lives away?
He looked up at the five majestic figures in the sky and sighed inwardly.
Let's go...
Go as far as you can.
If this girl returns later and sees the tragic state of Chang'an, please, please don't act rashly and rush in.
As long as I'm alive... as long as I'm alive!
With Guyue's talent, he will surely be able to avenge the Great Tang in the future!
The Red Toad True Person frowned.
Although it is unknown what this mortal emperor is thinking.
But for some reason, this inexplicable expression made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Like an ant about to be crushed by a foot, it doesn't cry or scream before dying; instead, it smiles at itself with a sense of relief.
It's really disgusting.
That's enough.
Why waste words on these ordinary people?
Even if you could read the minds of ants, what difference would it make?
It's nothing but a laughingstock; it makes them lose their True Person selves.
He then said in a cold voice, "Gentlemen, let's begin!"
"First, destroy Chang'an City, then find out the reincarnation of the Grand Ancestor."
He finished speaking.
Red Toad True Person didn't glance at the city wall again.
Red mist surged within the body's acupoints, and a sweet, pungent odor instantly filled the sky.
The fog rolled in and condensed in mid-air.
It transformed into a Crimson Toad, opened its enormous mouth, and roared angrily towards the Imperial City below.
The other True Person also watched with cold eyes, following closely behind.
The four-colored mist surged and transformed into their respective Dharma forms.
Five enormous creatures, blotting out the sky and the sun.
On the city wall.
The emperor's expression changed drastically.
Even though they had already prepared for mutual destruction, they were still faced with the world-destroying power of the five immortals appearing together.
My heart still trembled uncontrollably.
"This is outrageous!"
The Li Clan Ancestor took a step forward, his hair and beard bristling, and his long sword pointed straight at the sky.
" The Purple Star Imperial Qi Art!"
The earth roared.
Streaks of dragon energy burst forth from the earth, transforming into dense purple qi that surged into the ancestor's body.
Its originally withered body instantly swelled up.
Why has this ancestor of the royal family remained seated in Chang'an for hundreds of years, never leaving his post?
There's a reason for that.
Chang'an was the place where the Great Tang Dragon Qi converged, and the place where the supreme emperor resided.
All members of the Li Imperial Clan, if they are in this place, can influence the fate of the nation.
This immense and vast energy was enough to allow him to reach the pinnacle of his Lamp-Lighting and cross that Daoist Sect in a short period of time.
His strength is comparable to someone who has just stepped onto the Tower-Ascending Realm!
The Li Clan Ancestor's expression shifted between light and dark as he looked up.
Faced with the overwhelming, five-colored Dharma bodies pressing down from above, he gritted his teeth in anger and swung his long sword fiercely.
"Cut!!!"
When the sword is drawn.
He spat out another mouthful of foul-smelling blood, clearly using all his strength.
Nine purple Sword Qi surged upwards, colliding fiercely with the Crimson Toad in mid-air.
Several beams were shattered in the middle by the thick red mist, turning into specks of purple light that crashed straight to the ground.
But this is just the beginning.
The remaining purple Sword Qi, undiminished in momentum, continued to lash out towards the Red Toad phantom above.
"Um?"
Red Toad True Person snorted coldly.
Surprisingly, this old dog still has some strength.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
Countless red mists instantly rushed back to defend, attempting to block this attack.
laugh--!
The sword light shone like a rainbow.
The seemingly indestructible red mist toad was actually cleaved in two by the sword light.
Just one sword strike.
The Red Toad was actually cleaved straight away!
The Li Clan Ancestor gasped for breath, his sword-wielding hand trembling slightly. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned coldly, "Even the Five Immortals True Persons... are nothing more than this..."
"..."
The Red Toad True Person stood on a cloud, his face somber.
Although it was only the Red Toad's physical body that was damaged, for its true body, it was merely a slight loss of vital energy.
Yet, in front of the other four True Person, he was slashed by an ant.
This is utterly disgraceful...
Even the other True Person who had been nonchalant stopped what they were doing at this moment.
His gaze lingered on the Li Clan Ancestor was panting and holding a sword.
The True Person Green Snake's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and he hesitated, saying, "Such power... could this person be the reincarnation of Li Tianyuan? Did he awaken his innate wisdom even earlier?"
If he were not the reincarnation of Grand Ancestor, how could someone with the body of Lamp-Lighting possibly contend with True Person?
Upon hearing this...
True Person Yellow Centipede pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"No."
"This person merely borrowed the dragon's energy; once he leaves Chang'an City, he's no different from an ordinary Lamp-Lighting."
These words put everyone at ease.
but.
After all, this is a matter of great importance.
No one dares to draw a definitive conclusion, saying it is absolutely not true.
True Person Yellow Centipede narrowed his eyes, revealing his murderous intent.
"For now, focus on the Li Imperial Clan. Don't kill them by mistake, whether it's this old dog or the emperor... just cripple them."
"Once we capture him, the outcome will be clear."
That's all.
Without further hesitation.
boom--
The five-colored clouds surged once more.
On the city wall.
The Li Clan Ancestor swayed, and the dragon-qi sword in his hand became somewhat illusory.
He gave a bitter laugh, his heart filled with even greater despair.
That attack just now, seemingly a direct confrontation with True Person... but that single strike had already depleted the dragon energy that Chang'an had stored up for hundreds of years.
Next... how should we defend ourselves?
But right now.
A sharp sword cry rang out in the distance.
The five True Person glanced sideways at them.
In the air not far away, in mid-air.
An elderly man dressed in ordinary cloth robes stepped through the air.
The old man was thin, with gray hair, and held a rusty iron sword in his hand.
Among the crowd below, some people stared wide-eyed.
"Bai... Bai Lao?!"
