Fierce Battle!
"We succeeded."
As he suppressed the golden divine bell Saha Treasure Tree, a smile appeared on Zhou Hao's face.
Although it was a bit of a pity that we failed to kill Heavenly Immortal Xuanji, if we could seize the treasure of the Shaoyan Clan, then the ambush we had prepared would not have been in vain.
One pure Yang grade one magic treasure is equivalent to ten pure Yang superior grade magic treasures.
Even if the four of them split it equally, it would be enough for each of them to receive two high-grade pure Yang magic treasures, with some left over.
"The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"
Kong Fang, who had been keeping a close eye on Zhou Hao's actions, was overjoyed and even used slang in her telepathic communication.
Now that the Shaoyan Clan's reinforcements have arrived, regardless of the strength of that Shaoyan Patriarch, the two Celestial Immortals behind him do not appear to be ordinary people.
Now that we've seized the divine bell and gained an advantage, why not leave quickly instead of staying and catching up with them?
"Damn it." When the Shaoyan Patriarch, ' Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal ', saw Zhou Hao put away the divine bell, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Although puzzled, how could the clan's treasured bell, which had always been under the control of the Golden Bell Heavenly Immortal, be in the hands of the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji, and even be used to be surrounded and killed in the East Sea?
But that divine bell was something he obtained in the ancient Pangu World. Even if it wasn't his most prized magical treasure, in terms of value, it would still rank among the top treasures of the Shaoyan Clan.
The Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal immediately ordered, "All of you attack together! Don't let them escape! You must retrieve the Divine Bell no matter what!"
"Yes."
The bald, black-robed man ' Black Rain Heavenly Immortal ' and the blonde woman ' Golden Cloud Heavenly Immortal ' standing behind him responded at the same time.
The newly rescued Heavenly Immortal Xuanji, disregarding her previous injuries, flew out with them.
If we can't retrieve the divine bell, we couldn't afford to lose it even if we sold ourselves.
"Rise!" Golden Cloud Heavenly Immortal shouted, and instantly countless Golden Cloud rose up within a radius of thousands of miles.
Heavenly Immortal Xuanji also activated his Heavenly Cycle Star Map once again, spreading endless starlight in all directions.
In an instant, clouds and mist rolled in, starlight shone brightly in the sky and earth, and the five elements were in chaos. The two celestial immortals joined forces and instead enveloped Zhou Hao, Kong Fang Immortal, Liang Jin Celestial Immortal, and Mystic Turtle Immortal.
Buzz!
Streams of almost transparent golden light surged from Liang Jin Jintian's body, dispelling the surrounding clouds and starlight, forming a golden sphere with a diameter of more than ten feet, which enveloped Zhou Hao and Kong Fang Fangtian.
"Form-and-Formless Protective Divine Light."
Sensing this familiar aura, Zhou Hao immediately recognized that the golden light was the same protective talisman that Fairy Nishang used when she was in the shattered small world of the Northern Xiulu Continent.
"Let's go." Liang Jin Jintianxian led Zhou Hao and Kong Fang Fangtianxian, transforming into a stream of light and flying towards the direction of the Nirvana Sea Eye.
As for the Mystic Turtle Immortal, his own turtle shell was the strongest protective magic weapon, and he leisurely followed the three of them away.
Seeing the four of them flee, the Black Rain Heavenly Immortal immediately made his move. He pointed into the distance and shouted, "Black Rain, descend!"
Suddenly, a torrential downpour began to fall in this space.
Sizzle~ Sizzle~~ Sizzle~~~
When Zhou Hao heard the strange noise from above, he looked up and saw that the raindrops falling from the sky were all black. When they landed on the sphere formed by the Form-and-Formless Protective Divine Light, it was as if they had been splashed with ink. Soon, a large area of it turned black, and a putrid smell was faintly hitting his nostrils.
"This Black Rain is poisonous." Kong Fang's expression changed, and he immediately released his ninety-nine Golden Flame Blazing Fire Sword.
His flying swords were a treasure of supreme Yang energy. Once unleashed, the ninety-nine flying swords swirled in the air, and the Black Rain turned into black smoke in mid-air before it even fell.
"You took my divine bell and think you can just leave?" Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal Sneered, then opened his mouth.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three small black insects flew out of his mouth, and upon seeing the wind, they swelled up and instantly transformed into three terrifying monsters, each ten thousand feet tall.
This is a three-headed monster. One is a shelled insect with sixteen blade-like legs. The other is covered in thick skin and looks like an enormous rhinoceros at first glance, but it has a full twelve pairs of wings on its back.
The last one was a venomous snake with rings of black patterns. The patterns were so beautiful that they formed a crown-like pattern on the snake's head.
"Children, kill them!" The cold, stern voice of the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The giant carapaceous venomous insect among the three monsters slashed its legs in the air and flew out first, directly charging towards the Golden Flame Blazing Fire Sword of the Kong Fang Celestial.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Sixteen legs, seemingly cast in metal and possessing a bronze metallic luster, each thousands of feet long, clashed with the Golden Flame Blazing Fire Sword like real battle blades.
"Good heavens, this insect's close combat ability is definitely at the level of a top-tier Celestial Immortal." Kong Fang was secretly astonished after only one exchange.
Although the level of understanding between them was far inferior to that of the carapace-covered poisonous insect, its thick carapace provided extremely strong defense, and its strength was even more terrifying. Kong Fang Fangtianxian hurriedly tried his best to control his flying sword to block the carapace-covered poisonous insect, but he could no longer care about blocking the black poisonous rain.
At that moment, the attacks from the other two monsters also arrived.
"Roar!" The winged rhinoceros stomped out with one of its front legs. For this monster, which was tens of thousands of feet in size, a single front hoof could cover an area of nearly a thousand feet.
Zhou Hao and the others felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if a giant pillar of heaven had crashed down from the sky.
"Let me do it." The Mystic Turtle Immortal suddenly leaped up from below, his massive shell, as large as a single piece of land, directly meeting the winged rhinoceros's forelegs.
Boom~~~~
The Mystic Turtle Immortal plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing into the sea and creating towering waves that made the entire world seem to have fallen into the water.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, the Winged Rhinoceros, which had just exchanged blows with the Mystic Turtle Immortal, seemed completely unharmed as it passed through the giant wave curtain and trotted forward again. Beside it was a ten-thousand-foot-long black snake, its body coiling in circles, trying to entangle Zhou Hao and the other two.
"So strong?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.
"Besides using poison, Poison Ugly's ability to raise poisonous insects is unparalleled in the Three Realms. Not only do each of his poisonous insects possess the combat power of a top-tier Celestial Immortal, but they are also fearless, making them even more terrifying than ordinary top-tier Celestial Immortals," Liang Jin reminded him telepathically. "I've already notified Senior Brother Yu Lin through the puppets I left in the Profound Heaven Realm. He will come to meet us from outside later. Zhou Hao, let's each take one of these two monsters."
"Alright. Leave this rhinoceros to me." Zhou Hao moved swiftly, using the Law of Heaven and Earth to transform into a giant ten thousand feet tall, and threw a punch at the winged rhinoceros.
"I'll help you." The Mystic Turtle Immortal, who had just been plunged into the sea, was also enraged. He rushed out of the sea and attacked the Winged Rhinoceros together with Zhou Hao.
Meanwhile, Liang Jin Jintian once again condensed nine lightning dragons to meet the ten-thousand-foot-long black serpent.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Each clash in the three battlegrounds caused an explosion and distortion in the surrounding space, stretching for Baili.
Even the waters of the East Sea below were shaken and huge waves were constantly being stirred up, as if the entire East Sea was about to surge over.
"Which faction do these people belong to?" Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal frowned.
He knew better than anyone how strong his own child was.
The fact that Zhou Hao and his group could stand up to his three children suggests that their backing was quite formidable, even within the Xia Clan Great World.
Although he doesn't often operate in the Xia Clan Great World, and only leaves a clone in the clan to oversee things, he shouldn't be so incomprehensible as to not recognize such a force.
"No matter who you are, daring to provoke the Shaoyan Clan, the only outcome is death!" Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke softly.
"Start!"
Immediately, the three-headed monster in the distance changed again.
First, numerous Divine Pattern appeared on the back of the shelled venomous insect.
As the Divine Pattern flickered, the shelled venomous insects rapidly shrank and began to split.
When it shrank to a thousand feet, it split into two shelled poisonous insects. When it shrank to a hundred feet, it split into four shelled poisonous insects. When it grew to ten feet in size, it became an eight-headed shelled poisonous insect.
The eight beetle-like poisonous insects, each with sixteen blade-like legs, launched a combined attack on Kong Fang Fangtianxian's Golden Flame Blazing Fire Sword. A series of clanging sounds rang out, and Kong Fang Fangtianxian's face immediately turned pale.
"Mystic Turtle Immortal, please help my master. I'll deal with this rhinoceros."
As soon as Zhou Hao saw that the sword light of Kong Fang was about to scatter, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"I'm fine." Kong Fang Fangtianxian raised his hand and released another magic weapon shaped like a flying wheel, which emitted boundless silver light and, together with the Golden Flame Blazing Fire Sword, blocked the frenzied attack of the eight carapace-like poisonous insects.
"You all be careful too, these ugly things are really strange." Kong Fang Fangtianxian's face was grim as he loudly warned everyone.
At this moment, the other two monsters also began to change.
After a roar, the winged rhinoceros's four powerful hooves began to merge into its body, and then a thicker and longer hoof began to grow rapidly from the center of its abdomen.
It turned out that the four-legged winged rhinoceros had transformed into a rhinoceros with only one leg.
After the transformation, the rhinoceros's strength increased dramatically, and with just one kick, it sent the Mystic Turtle Immortal flying through the air.
Even the Mystic Turtle Immortal's shell had a dent that was tens of feet deep.
The last black venomous snake suddenly bit its own tail, its divine Divine Pattern lighting up, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from a large black snake into an even longer, golden-scaled snake.
The golden light flowing across its scales further enhanced its defense. When Liang Jin Jintianxian's nine lightning dragons bit at it, they only caused ripples in the golden light. Instead, the golden-scaled serpent seized the opportunity, encircling the nine lightning dragons. Then, the serpent's body coiled wildly inward, directly crushing the nine lightning dragons into strands of lightning that annihilated them.
"Kill that brat who stole my divine bell first." The Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal controlled his two poisonous insects to surround and kill Zhou Hao.
After he unleashed his signature technique, the young man at the Void Return stage was, in his eyes, no different from a dead man.
"Roar~~~" The winged rhinoceros flapped its twelve pairs of wings, its body flashed, and it stretched out its only hoof as if holding a long spear and thrusting it towards Zhou Hao.
"Hiss hiss hiss~~~" The golden-scaled venomous snake twisted its body and descended from the sky in a circle, trying to envelop and entangle Zhou Hao.
"Are you all coming to deal with me?" Zhou Hao immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning, dodging the golden-scaled venomous snake's entanglement in a flash, and appeared beside the flying rhinoceros.
Then it revealed its true form with twenty-four arms, and the twenty-four huge arms attacked the winged rhinoceros frantically.
Whew!...
Zhou Hao suddenly unleashed his full power, his fist striking out and completely stunning the winged rhinoceros.
In terms of the profound mysteries of the Dao, how could this clumsy rhinoceros compare to Zhou Hao?
The Taiji Fist Art of "Yin-Yang Wheel" and "Thunder God Mace" were unleashed in succession. The winged rhinoceros could not even maintain its balance by flapping its wings, and it tumbled and flew backward.
The Golden Scaled Serpent tried to ambush Zhou Hao from behind and entangle him, but after Liang Jin Jintianxian's nine lightning dragons were broken, she no longer cared that the Nine Thunder Cauldron had not fully recovered and began to activate it with all her might.
Nine bolts of lightning, each a different color, flew out from the ancient cauldron, merged together in the air, and transformed into a golden lightning pearl, which landed in front of Liang Jin.
"Dry Yang True Thunder, break!" Liang Jin Jintianxian pointed at the golden-scaled venomous snake in the air.
Instantly, the golden lightning pearl burst forth with dazzling light, like Solar Star descending from the chaotic void, streaking across the sky in an instant.
Boom!
Large chunks of flesh and blood of the Golden Scaled Serpent were blasted away, turning into black smoke while still in the air by the lightning and fire of the Dry Yang True Thunder. The serpent's body was blasted into six or seven pieces, struggling to reassemble itself in mid-air.
"Impressive!" Zhou Hao was secretly astonished upon seeing this.
When the power of lightning in nature reaches the realm of true lightning, its power is truly terrifying.
Even though they had temporarily knocked the Winged Rhinoceros away and Liang Jin Jintian had blasted the Golden Scaled Serpent in two, their situation was still far from optimistic.
Everything that just happened can be described slowly.
In reality, it was less than a breath.
At this moment, Heavenly Immortal Xuanji and two other Celestial Immortals had already set up a domain to seal off the area, intending to join forces with the three-headed poisonous insects to surround and kill them.
The three poisonous insects alone were enough to force everyone to use all their methods. If we add the three Shaoyan Clan Immortals, and the Shaoyan Patriarch Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal hasn't even made a move yet...
"Master, I'll take you into my Cosmos Pearl. You can help me suppress those two magic treasures so I can free up my natal magic treasure to deal with those three-headed monsters."
Zhou Hao charged toward the eight carapace-like poisonous insects that were fighting Kong Fang. Relying on his superior arm strength and his God-Devil Body Refining tempering, he was unafraid of injury. Despite being slashed several times by the sharp legs of two of the carapace-like poisonous insects, he managed to kill three of the insects with his fists. Then, he reached out and grabbed Kong Fang, putting him into the Cosmos Pearl.
Kong Fang's clone is a Qi Refining Celestial Immortal, so it's still too dangerous for him to face eight poisonous insects that are skilled in close combat and fearless of death.
With his God-Devil Body Refining, his escape techniques, and the assistance of the Saha Treasure Tree, he was more than capable of suppressing those three poisonous insects.
"This kid." Seeing Zhou Hao put away the Kong Fang Tianxian, the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal's eyes flashed with cold light.
He hadn't expected that Zhou Hao would be the most troublesome of the four opponents.
Although its physical defense is not as good as its own poisonous insects, it is comparable to a celestial-grade magic weapon, and its fist techniques are even more superb.
"The three of you bind that brat together, while I suppress him first," Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal transmitted his voice to Xuanji and the other two, then a pair of bronze cymbals appeared in his hand.
To deal with experts of the Gods and Devils Body Refining Path, suppression is naturally the most effective method.
Although these cymbals are not as powerful as the divine bell that Zhou Hao took away, they are still mid-grade pure yang magic treasures. Once suppressed, even a celestial being would not be able to escape.
"Yes." Heavenly Immortal Xuanji and the others nodded in agreement.
Call!
A streak of light suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Hao, then dissipated, revealing a pair of bronze cymbals.
The cymbals swelled upon seeing the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a pair of enormous cymbals, each ten thousand feet long.
Wow~~~
As the cymbals separated, one flew over Zhou Hao Zhou Hao above, while the other flew towards him from below.
At the same time, the three monstrous poisonous insects surrounded Zhou Hao from three directions, while the surrounding Golden Cloud, starlight, and Black Rain exerted tremendous force to bind him.
In an instant.
Including the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal, there were actually four Celestial Immortals, along with three poisonous insects with the strength of top-tier Celestial Immortals, who attacked Zhou Hao together.
I didn't expect there would be training after the meeting today... I'm late, I'm late.
I can only write one chapter today; I have an online class at 10 PM tonight.
Fortunately, I finished writing it before I started.
