Seven-Colored Peacock Sword, Fellow Daoist, Please Be on Your Way

The piercing scream, which shattered gold and split rocks, immediately jolted the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator out of his daze.

But Fang Shu's voice rang in his ears immediately afterward. "Finally, we have a guest. Fellow Daoist Che, please take a rest."

He flicked his sleeves, indicating that the immortals surnamed Immortal cultivator could step back.

Upon seeing this, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator showed a conflicted expression.

He realized at that moment that Fang Shu had clearly encountered thieves who were trying to ambush him.

Those who dare to intercept and kill the Profound Teaching True Disciple must at least be True Immortal of the Divine Immortal Dao Vein, and are most likely from the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture.

As for him, a False Core Immortal cultivator, messing around in this kind of thing, he might not even know how he died.

However, despite his fear, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator mustered his courage and said in a deep voice, "Although I am weak, I can still help manage the boats and provide support for my master."

Fang Shu glanced back at the man a few times, nodded, and didn't say anything more to tell him to step back. He simply told the man to watch from the side.

With a whoosh, his figure rose to the surface, surrounded by a burst of spiritual light, and he appeared brightly at the bow of the ship.

Facing the dilapidated Vast Sea ship, Fang Shu spoke in a clear voice, "We're all acquaintances, why are you still shouting such things, fellow Daoist?"

If I didn't know your character, I wouldn't dare to do this."

With a buzzing sound, a beam of light also flew out from the wrecked cargo ship. The other party stood in mid-air, confronting Fang Shu.

The person who came was none other than the White Dust True Immortal.

White Dust True Immortal's face showed surprise and doubt, and he blurted out, "You surnamed Hu, how did you know it was me?!"

Fang Shu had no obligation to answer this question, but he smiled and said, "Someone told me."

These words reached the ears of White Dust True Immortal, making his expression even more surprised and uncertain.

"Damn it! It seems to be those two bastards surnamed Tie and Chang."

White Dust True Immortal cursed, "I knew it! We agreed to come out of the city together, but suddenly a decree was issued from within the city, arresting these two. There must be a trick involved."

Fang Shu was taken aback upon hearing this.

His original intention was to make this man surnamed Bai suspect the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture, but he didn't expect that this fellow would suspect the Tie and Chang families instead.

Seeing Fang Shu's actions, Bai Chen Zhenxian let out a cold laugh, "Let me let you know. The Tie family and Chang family I am talking about are the Tie family from which your brother and sister-in-law came, as well as the Chang family that you humiliated back then."

After you perish, those two will definitely wipe out all your relatives, friends, and that damned Daoist temple.

Faced with this intimidation, Fang Shu simply smiled.

He spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Bai, you should worry about the lives of your nephews and nieces."

With a whoosh, he waved his sleeve, and the three-thousand-foot-long Golden Core Treasure Ship beneath him once again resembled a giant mountain, pressing down on the cargo ship that had been broken in half, with even greater force than before.

Those disciples of the Vast Sea who either escaped with their lives or barely survived all wore expressions of despair.

One of them cried out, "Ancestor! Ancestor! Save us!"

"Master, save me!"

Some cried out, "True Disciple Fang, spare our lives! We were only following orders; we truly have no idea what White Truth's plans are!"

When White Dust True Immortal saw the actions of the treasure ships under Fang Shu, his expression changed drastically.

With a whoosh, the person uttered a shout, and various colored spiritual lights surged from their body, transforming into a giant peacock.

The peacock covered the children of the Vast Sea with its wings, allowing them to escape as much as possible.

But his action actually made Fang Shu's eyes light up slightly.

If this person had ignored the people on the ship, Fang Shu might not have bothered to deal with him. However, the other party's actions clearly indicated that the people on the ship were connected to this guy.

If that's the case, Fang Shu should seize this crucial point and act even more recklessly, without caring about the innocent.

Rumble!

The three-thousand-foot-long fish-shaped treasure ship collided with the peacock, unleashing an astonishing roar that seemed to boil the seawater for dozens of miles around.

Countless fish and shrimp, including some small Demon Beast, were instantly blasted into a bloody mist, leaving no trace of their remains.

Such a collision caused White Dust True Immortal's face to turn slightly pale.

The man stared intently at the treasure ship beneath Fang Shu, his face filled with resentment. "What a Golden Core Treasure Ship! What a magnificent Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture Immortal Prefecture! We have served the immortal abode for hundreds of years, and even the creation of Golden Core Law Artifact requires accumulating merit and virtue."

You scoundrel! How dare you obtain this treasure ship the moment you return to the manor!

At the same time, White Dust True Immortal's gaze kept sweeping across the treasure ship. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a fierce determination. This was because after these two tests, he did not see a third figure on Fang Shu's ship.

In other words, Fang Shu had no one else to help him on this voyage except for that False Core- wielding waste.

This stirred a hint of greed in White Dust True Immortal's heart. "If I could kill this fiend, not only would I be spared a calamity and avoid bringing disaster to the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture, but I could also obtain this treasure ship!"

If Fang Shu had other valuables on him, he might have betrayed the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture today, and might even have had the opportunity to attain Refining Spirit the next day.

The thought settled.

With a flick of his sleeve, White Dust True Immortal unleashed a flurry of seven-colored feathers, each one sharp and imbued with the aura of Golden Core.

These are the most treasured Golden Core Law Artifact of White Dust True Immortal, each one forged from the finest spiritual materials, and each can be considered a Flying Sword.

Now that all seven weapons have been unleashed, it's as if this fiend has revealed his trump card, aiming to end his battle with Fang Shu as quickly as possible.

Owl!

Seven feathers landed around White Dust True Immortal, making the thousand-foot peacock's form even more solid, as if it were alive.

With a clang, the thousand-foot-tall peacock clung to the Golden Core Treasure Ship and fiercely pecked at Fang Shu.

However, the treasure ship was protected by its own formation, and Fang Shu had left enough Spirit Stone on board. The ship was also of the eleventh tribulation grade, so it could not be broken through by the peacock with a single strike.

However, the treasure ship's formation was also shaking violently, and the Spirit Stone inside were being consumed rapidly.

The immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator, standing to the side, couldn't help but offer a reminder: "Master, this Bai fellow is putting in all his effort. Should we test him first and avoid his sharp edge?"

Fang Shu looked up at the ferocious peacock, his face instead showing admiration. "Fellow White Dust, although you are sharp-tongued and unaware that you have become a pawn, your Divine Ability and techniques are indeed exquisite and far from ordinary."

White Dust True Immortal frowned, and immediately began to ponder the word "chess piece," but he snorted coldly, thinking that Fang Shu was trying to distract him.

Clang!

Having failed in his first attack, White Dust True Immortal, riding his peacock, shouted, "Seven Treasures Glazed Light, manifest!"

With a whoosh, the peacock's tail feathers spread wide, shimmering with seven-colored light, and shot out, crashing down on the Golden Core Treasure Ship where Fang Shu was located.

Such a display of power quite startled the immortal surnamed Che on the ship.

The man spoke in a dry voice, "As expected of Vast Sea True Immortal, I have never seen such a presence, even among Immortal cultivator at the Twelfth Tribulation stage."

The Seven Treasures Glazed Light, wandering outside the Golden Core Treasure Ship, froze the air for dozens of miles around into ice blocks and shattered it into pieces.

The remaining disciples of the Vast Sea nearby, even those not enveloped by the Seven-Colored Glazed Light, all wore expressions of suffocating pain.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core Treasure Ship, where Fang Shu was located, was creaking under the weight of the hull.

This situation startled the Immortal cultivator family immortal, who immediately sent a telepathic message to Fang Shu: "Master, something's wrong!"

This fellow's Law Technique has kept the treasure ship here. We must break his Law Technique first before we can sail away."

Fang Shu merely narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

He thought to himself, "It seems that even though this guy is blinded by cause and effect, he hasn't been affected in other aspects."

In Fang Shu's vision, the seemingly divine White Dust True Immortal outside the ship had countless Karma Thread descending from his head, binding his entire body.

He was like a fly caught in a net.

The most obvious Karma Thread among them seemed familiar to Fang Shu, as it was connected to the one on his body.

Now, White Dust is also being stirred up by this Karma Thread without realizing it.

A loud laugh rang out from the sea, "Hahaha! Hu Muhuang, what are you doing hiding in the boat?"

"Why don't you hurry up and fight me with your swords, lest you disgrace the name of your Profound Teaching True Disciple?"

It was the White Dust True Immortal who roared, his immortal power vast and boundless.

Seeing this, the remaining disciples of the Vast Sea all felt that their ancestors or masters were truly awe-inspiring, and even the Profound Teaching True Disciple had to avoid their presence.

But suddenly, a sigh echoed across the sea, "You wretch, you are still sane, but your inner demons have taken hold. No matter how Divine Ability your supernatural abilities, how can you defy Heavenly Mandate?"

That voice belonged to Fang Shu.

As he spoke, his body transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, passing directly through the treasure ship's formation and appearing outside the ship.

Upon seeing this scene, White Dust True Immortal was initially delighted, never expecting that he had actually managed to get Fang Shu to admit his mistake.

But for no apparent reason, he found Fang Shu's words even more Fang Shu.

"What do you mean Heavenly Mandate 'Heavenly Mandate'? Do you really think you're some kind of Refining Spirit Immortal?!" White Dust True Immortal cursed.

With a Hand Seals of his wrist, the surging Seven-Colored Glazed Light transformed into a hundred-foot-long rainbow, resembling a sword and a dragon, slashing towards Fang Shu.

Faced with such a sword strike, Fang Shu remained calm and showed no sign of panic. He simply moved nimbly in mid-air, dodging the fiend as if taking a leisurely stroll.

This situation caused White Dust True Immortal's heart to sink slightly.

Although he had heard that Fang Shu also knew Sword Dao, as far as he knew, Fang Shu's forte was Gu insect techniques.

Unexpectedly, this fellow, despite not having used any Gu worms, was no novice in swordsmanship!

What frustrated him even more was that Fang Shu was still making that buzzing noise. "Fellow Daoist Bai, the Heavenly Mandate I spoke of is not me."

With a whoosh, Fang Shu transformed into Golden Light, shifting horizontally for a hundred feet, perfectly avoiding the opponent's sword strike.

He pointed to the sky. "Fellow Daoist, believe it or not, even if I am no match for you today, you cannot kill me. Even if you do kill me, you will surely be buried here with me."

Fang Shu laughed and said, "The Profound Teaching True Disciple are not easy to kill."

These words finally caused White Dust True Immortal to pause slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

Although blinded by hatred, Fang Shu's repeated "tips" made him realize the potential consequences of intercepting the Profound Teaching True Disciple. However, an unnamed fire surged up again, and White Dust True Immortal coldly said, "Too late. The deed is done. I can only make it as clean and efficient as possible!"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the disciples behind him, his face showing hesitation.

This time when he left the city, he was so focused on using boats to lure Fang Shu that he neglected something for a moment.

The ambush of the Profound Teaching True Disciple is no different from before; this matter must not be known to anyone, not even one's own disciples!

White Dust True Immortal felt a growing sense of unease. "Even erasing their memories isn't foolproof. If the Profound Teaching's divination targets these disciples, it will inevitably implicate me—"

Upon realizing this, his heart sank, and he immediately withdrew the protection he had given to his disciples.

With a series of swift movements, the residual power of his Swordsmanship directly killed some of the seriously injured disciples on the spot.

"Ancestor—" A disciple of the Vast Sea cried out in disbelief, his eyes wide, clutching his own neck and coughing up blood.

Some of the disciples of the Vast Sea sensed something was wrong. Their eyes changed, and they took the initiative to distance themselves from White Dust True Immortal.

But before they could go far, White Dust True Immortal noticed their retreat.

The latter had an even more ruthless gaze, fearing that there might be any who slipped through the net. He casually flicked his sword, and in a flash, it struck his own disciples.

A cry of alarm rang out, "No! Don't!"

Seeing Fang Shu, Fang Shu moved nimbly, weaving through the sudden carnage, trying to capture a few survivors.

However, his movements were not as fast as White Dust True Immortal's. In just two or three breaths, all the living creatures inside and outside the Vast Sea cargo ship were killed by White Dust True Immortal.

Those disciples of the Vast Sea were not only killed physically, but their souls were also shattered; even Heavenly Immortal could not save them.

Such methods left Fang Shu in awe.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, how could you be so wasteful?" he said, shaking his head.

When White Dust True Immortal heard this, he coldly replied, "They are all disciples of my family. Killing them is fine, what's the point of your words?"

This will eliminate any worries you may have.

Just as this fellow was about to unleash his Fang Shu to the death, he discovered that Fang Shu had turned around and lunged towards the Golden Core Treasure Ship, then disappeared inside.

The boy stood on the boat, smiling as he looked at him, and suddenly took out a blackish-red straw figure from his sleeve.

Fang Shu placed the straw figure in front of him, bowed to White Dust True Immortal, and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, please continue your journey."

The next moment, White Dust True Immortal, who stood on the sea like a god, suddenly changed his expression.

He felt a sudden darkness descend upon him, as if something terrifying was rushing towards him from an unknown place, sending chills down his spine.

The owl—immediately afterward, a mournful cry rang out from the thousand-foot peacock it was riding.

One by one, the peacock's feathers faded, and in the blink of an eye, it could no longer maintain its shape, disintegrating into seven Flying Swords.

Ahhh!

White Dust True Immortal himself was in even worse shape. He screamed and, at a speed visible to the naked eye, degenerated from a handsome middle-aged scholar into a wrinkled old man.

He summoned his Core Qi and his Flying Sword, intending to kill the invisible enemy, but it was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as his Qi and Blood deteriorated and his body became filthy.
