"I saw it first, give it back to me!"
"What a joke! Just because you see it first doesn't mean it's yours! Treasures belong to the virtuous!"
The two Spirit Beast Master, each riding a Great Demon, unleashed their magic and engaged in a fierce battle on the Orange Rainbow Bridge.
"Indeed, it belongs to the virtuous. So give it to me!" Tie Ao sneered. He transformed into a two-zhang-tall Golden Virtue Giant and ruthlessly attacked. He was ruthless and merciless, killing one person and severely injuring another who coughed up blood, forcing him to hand over a Demon Plant seed.
Tie Ao took the seeds, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
Just as he was about to continue guarding the bridgehead, waiting to capture the incoming treasure, a bright, gleaming blade suddenly flew towards him.
The blade flashed with unparalleled sharpness, cleaving through the sky wherever it went, leaving a chilling aura in its wake.
Caught off guard, Tie Ao was struck by the blade. His massive body staggered, nearly tumbling head over heels in mid-air.
Everyone was shocked. Someone exclaimed, "Who is this? How dare they attack Tie Ao?"
Once they saw who had made the move, they immediately felt relieved. "Wow! It was Chu Yun who did it, no wonder!"
"I never expected Chu Yun to be so direct and start a war with Tie Ao!"
"What is there that he wouldn't dare to do? He's brave enough to attack Rain Island all by himself."
"The clash between Chu Yun and Tie Ao is a battle for the throne among the younger generation! It's truly captivating!"
" Chu Yun!" Tie Ao was all too familiar with that flash of sword light. He roared ferociously, his anger rising as he thought of the humiliation of the failed surprise attack. "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
"How arrogant!" Chu Yun swung his blade forward. The Drunken Snow Blade, amplified by its Enhance Brilliance and expanded by its Snow Fang- like blade, crashed into Tie Ao's Phoenix-Wing Gilded Gold Halberd like a flying iceberg.
boom!
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap in dry land, shook the entire All-Star Archipelago.
The white snow and golden light burst forth, dazzling and spectacular.
Chu Yun was forced to retreat ten zhang by the force of the collision. In contrast, Tie Ao retreated more than fifteen zhang. The Phoenix-Wing Gilded Gold Halberd in his hand trembled and let out a mournful cry.
"Heavens! Tie Ao is no match for Chu Yun!"
When Chu Yun possessed the Great Demon Heavenly Fox, he could fight Tie Ao to a standstill. Heavenly Fox has advanced to Spirit Demon and possesses a second spirit Demon Weapon, the Drunken Snow Blade, he has immediately put Tie Ao, who only has a Spirit Demon tower, at a disadvantage.
"Thinking about it carefully, Chu Yun's combat strength is already stronger than Tie Ao's. Seeing this today, it's indeed true."
"The world has only heard about Tie Ao's surprise attack on Shu Family Island. Now that they have witnessed their duel firsthand, there is no doubt that Xiao Bawang has overtaken Tie Ao as the number one among the younger generation of the All-Star Archipelago!"
The sounds of surprise, envy, and sighs from those around him reached Tie Ao's ears, further fueling the anger of this former number one.
"Again!" He was not afraid of Chu Yun's two Spirit Demon and pounced fiercely. His momentum was fierce, like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea.
Two enormous figures in the sky clashed and collided repeatedly. Their blades clashed, producing a continuous series of deafening roars.
After less than a hundred rounds, Tie Ao was once again on the defensive. His Gold Virtue True Body belonged to the Metal element. Metal is countered by fire, and Chu Yun's Fire Virtue True Body inherently held an attribute advantage. Originally, when the Heavenly Fox was Great Demon, this advantage was not obvious. Now that it had advanced to Spirit Demon, it immediately gained the upper hand.
In the midst of the battle, Chu Yun suddenly took out the Mount Li Dragon Eye Flower Branch and activated the Separation and Union Divine Light. In an instant, a yellow light flashed, piercing through Gold Virtue True Body. The light then contracted, actually retrieving two Immortal Pouch.
Upon seeing the two Immortal Pouch, Tie Ao was immediately filled with dread and flew into a rage. "You despicable scoundrel! Give me back the Immortal Pouch!"
Chu Yun laughed heartily, urging his spiritual light to suppress the two Immortal Pouch while simultaneously unleashing Ice Soul Divine Light from the Mount Li Eye Flower branch in his hand, striking Tie Ao and instantly slowing his movements by half.
With the aid of the Drunken Snow Blade, Chu Yun firmly suppressed the enraged Tie Ao. The two fought for another three hundred rounds. Although Chu Yun had the upper hand, he could not kill Tie Ao. Tie Ao desperately wanted to use the Demon-Suppressing Tower to suppress Chu Yun's demons, but doing so required dispersing his Gold Virtue True Body. Facing such a formidable enemy as Chu Yun, he dared not take the risk.
They fought until sunset, but the sky didn't darken; the orange glow emanating from the rainbow bridge illuminated the entire Rainbow Island.
Chu Yun and Tie Ao's attacks gradually subsided. In the end, both sides tacitly agreed to cease hostilities.
Continuing to fight like this would not benefit either side. Tie Ao, now more mature, snorted coldly at Chu Yun and flew away from the battlefield. Reaching another part of the sky, he marked out an area to guard the treasure.
Many people secretly lamented their predicament upon seeing the two sides cease fighting, forced to relinquish their prime positions. Chu Yun, having fought valiantly all night, showed no mercy to these people, waiting in ambush while simultaneously plundering valuable treasures.
At this moment, showing forbearance and magnanimity would not be appreciated by anyone; it would only be seen as the behavior of a brain-dead idiot. On the contrary, Chu Yun's domineering behavior made everyone around him wary. Sometimes, Chu Yun would not even say a word, but would simply walk over, and others would have no choice but to offer up their treasures with both hands.
This is the way of the world: might makes right.
Many people were helpless, and quite a few cursed inwardly. But more than anyone else, they felt a sense of awe and reverence for power.
As the sun rose and a new day dawned, Chu Yun finally landed. He checked his spoils; the night had been quite fruitful. As for the two Immortal Pouch on Tie Ao's body, he could only suppress them, unaware of their contents. Only upon returning to Shu Family Island and using special methods, spending a month, could he unlock their secrets.
However, considering Tie Ao's heartbroken expression, it was clear that these two Immortal Pouch were extremely valuable and of great importance to him.
" The Separation and Union Divine Light and Union has done a great job. It's not only good at both offense and defense, but it also has the ability to capture. It caught Tie Ao off guard, but this is a one-shot deal. It won't work next time."
Chu Yun put away the Mount Li flower branch and the Drunken Snow Blade, but said to the Heavenly Fox, " Morning Radiance, you are free to move around now. There are many treasures in the Rainbow Bridge. For every piece you take, your master will grill that many fish for you to eat."
Upon hearing that there was grilled fish to eat, the Heavenly Fox, who had transformed into a young woman, suddenly brightened up, her small mouth slightly open, and a drop of crystal-clear saliva hung from the corner of her mouth.
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Her little head was tilted back at a forty-five-degree angle, looking at Chu Yun expectantly.
Chu Yun nodded, reached out and stroked her soft, white fox ears, and smiled, "Of course."
The Heavenly Fox Chen Morning Radiance was instantly filled with fighting spirit. "I'm going, Master!"
Morning Radiance excitedly flew onto the Rainbow Bridge, Chu Yun watched from afar for a while. He saw that wherever she went, everyone dispersed. The oppressive aura of the Spirit Demon caused most of the Spirit Beast Master to groan in distress.
"As long as we don't encounter Tribulation Demon, the Heavenly Fox is absolutely safe. Although there are two or three Spirit Beast Master possess Spirit Demon, they can escape if they can't win." Chu Yun felt relieved and went to Huang Xiao's thatched hut again.
Unexpectedly, this time they were met with a closed door. The door to the thatched hut was tightly shut.
"Young Master Chu, we've finally waited for you. Uncle Huang Xiao isn't home; he goes to sweep the graves every year around this time." Jiang Xiaobei skipped over to Chu Yun with a light, bouncy gait.
Rainbow Island Rainbow Island has been open for a day, and a flood of news has poured in with the crowds. Jiang Xiaobei already knew about Chu Yun's deeds, but she didn't believe it at first. However, yesterday's battle between Chu Yun and Tie Ao was the best proof.
Now, the tomboy's gaze towards Chu Yun is filled with intense admiration.
"Sweeping the grave? When will he be back?" Chu Yun asked.
Jiang Xiaobei shook her head. "Uncle Huang Xiao is very filial; he will worship at the ancestral grave for a whole day. So..."
"What? One day!" Wu Datou's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, "What kind of person is this Huang Xiao? He's putting on airs like this! What does he think he is? Does he really need our young island lord to visit him three times? He'd have to be Zhuge Ming to even consider that."
Jiang Xiaobei sighed, "I've reminded Uncle Huang Xiao about this many times, but he keeps doing things his own way. However, his filial piety towards his mother is absolutely genuine. I implore you to be a little more understanding and considerate..."
"Alright, then take me to the cemetery," Chu Yun said.
"Young Island Master, we still have to go to the cemetery!" Wu Datou immediately showed a troubled expression. "It's really not worth it for someone like that. Look, Young Island Master, we've already crossed the Orange Rainbow Bridge, and now we're on the Yellow Rainbow Bridge. This is a once-a-year opportunity; who knows how many treasures are hidden there?"
"If you want to go, then go," Chu Yun said with a smile, noticing his eagerness.
"That won't do. The island lord gave me instructions before I came. So it's best for me to stay by the young island lord's side." Wu Datou shook his head repeatedly, his tone very firm.
"That's up to you. But I reckon today..." Chu Yun said, shaking his head slightly, already having a bad feeling about today's meeting.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the cemetery, Huang Xiao didn't even look back. He just knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the tombstone in front of him, lost in thought.
This is a small hill.
The wind swirls away fallen leaves, illuminating the gray tombstone. A few simple offerings are placed before the clean grave.
Looking out from here, the sky is a pale yellow, just as the Yellow Rainbow Bridge is in full swing. Below, the island is surrounded by red and orange iridescent light, forming a light mist that envelops Rainbow Island.
Even within the misty haze, starlight twinkled. Treasures remained, not all intercepted in the high sky. Those Spirit Beast Master not qualified to ascend and seize them ventured deep into the mist, tirelessly exploring.
Rainbow Island was in a state of turmoil. The noise, clamor, and sounds of fighting drifted from afar, only serving to highlight the tranquility of this hillside cemetery. It seemed like a secluded paradise, cut off from the world.
Jiang Xiaobei opened her mouth to remind Huang Xiao, but was stopped by Chu Yun.
"Don't make any rash moves, I'll wait here," Chu Yun said, his heart trembling as he saw the remembrance and sorrow in Huang Xiao's eyes. This resonated with him.
In his previous life, he also mourned his adoptive father in the same way.
Chu Yun keenly sensed that Huang Xiao had a heavy story behind him. And this story would be the key to recruiting Huang Xiao.
