The Three Pure Ones hadn't had their fill of slaps yet, and they still dared to provoke him?
This was truly... wonderful!
"Hey!"
Dan Jing met the glares of the Three Pure Ones with his golden eyes and could not help baring his teeth in a grin.
The next moment.
Dong—
A soft bell toll rang out, leaving the gathered travelers of the mortal world before Violet Cloud Palace stunned for a moment.
At the same time.
The Three Pure Ones' expressions changed involuntarily—
This bell...
The instant alarm rose in the Three Pure Ones' hearts.
Swish!
Dan Jing's figure had already crossed Chaos and appeared directly before the three of them!
At the same time.
The Dragon-Headed Staff manifested in Dan Jing's hand. He raised it and ruthlessly swung it straight at the Three Pure Ones!
Seeing the Dragon-Headed Staff lashing toward the three brothers, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, having learned from a bitter lesson, instinctively brought out their defensive spiritual treasures.
In an instant.
Buzz—
Dark-yellow light flowed as the Heaven-Earth Dark-Yellow Exquisite Pagoda manifested, shielding Laozi.
Golden light descended in a cascade of ten thousand splendors. The All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud appeared to protect Yuanshi, while also sheltering Tongtian beside him.
Clang!
A top-grade innate spiritual treasure sword, gleaming with cold light, appeared in Tongtian's hand. He swung it directly at Dan Jing.
Tongtian was still fierce—
He had not intended to defend at all.
He only wanted to return tooth for tooth and give Dan Jing a vicious blow!
"Heh—"
Watching the Three Pure Ones' movements, Dan Jing sneered. The hand gripping the Dragon-Headed Staff did not change its motion in the slightest.
At the same time.
His other hand casually beckoned at the spiritual treasures they had brought forth. An exceedingly terrifying force of Great Dao suppression descended directly upon the Dark-Yellow Pagoda, the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud, and the innate treasure sword.
Immediately afterward.
The treasure light upon the Dark-Yellow Pagoda, the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud, and the innate treasure sword abruptly dimmed. Without the slightest power to resist, they were seized directly by Dan Jing.
"?!!!"
This utterly unreasonable sight left Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at the treasures that had slipped from their control and fallen into Dan Jing's hands.
Th-this-this... was this reasonable?
Whether it was reasonable or not, the Three Pure Ones had no chance to figure it out.
Because the Dragon-Headed Staff in Dan Jing's other hand had already landed on them.
Bang bang bang—
A succession of dull blows began ringing rhythmically outside Violet Cloud Palace!
At the same time.
Dan Jing's impossible-to-evaluate yet somehow rather stirring trash talk rang out:
"Come, come, come! Show me those looks from earlier again!"
"You dared draw a sword on me? You're quite arrogant, aren't you!"
"Here comes the little flying stick!!!"
"Eat my big stick!"
"Ha ha ha..."
While the Three Pure Ones were being beaten up, Nuwa and Fuxi, Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi—the four powerful cultivators who had encountered one another on the way and traveled together afterward—also arrived outside Violet Cloud Palace.
The moment the four arrived.
They saw Dan Jing beating up the Three Pure Ones!
Meanwhile, the gathered travelers of the mortal world had all fled far away, terrified of being caught in the crossfire!
This absurdly ridiculous scene immediately made the four of them look strange.
Heavens above—
Dan Jing truly deserved to be called the madman in every fellow Daoist's heart.
This was far too fierce, far too wild, wasn't it?
He was beating people up right at the entrance to a Sage's Dao field!
You said he had even killed the Sage-appointed chief of the male immortals at the entrance to the Sage's Dao field?
Then never mind.
The instant she saw this scene, Nuwa, who had still harbored some resentment and anger toward Dan Jing, immediately found her thoughts crystal-clear. Not a trace of desire to retaliate against Dan Jing remained.
She could not afford to provoke him.
Dan Jing was no madman—he was plainly a lunatic!
Having realized that she could not afford to provoke such a Great Luo lunatic, Nuwa decisively chose to follow her heart. She no longer had any superfluous thoughts.
She, Nuwa, conceded.
Bang bang bang—
After giving each of the Three Pure Ones another blow from his staff, Dan Jing finally stopped his one-sided beating. His gaze shifted toward the newly arrived Nuwa and Fuxi, Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi.
He raised a brow.
Then said in a deep voice:
"What are you looking at? Never seen the strong bully the weak before?"
"Keep looking—"
"And I'll beat you lot up too!"
Hearing Dan Jing speak of bullying with such righteous confidence, the corners of the four people's mouths twitched, but none of them said anything.
Without prior agreement, they all chose to avoid Dan Jing's edge.
Seeing Nuwa and the others yield, Dan Jing did not chase after them, eager to beat them up.
After all, this was before the old Sage's Dao field. He still had to leave the old man some face.
After glancing at the Three Pure Ones.
Dan Jing flipped his hand, and the Dragon-Headed Staff was taken back into his spiritual platform—
The power of this spiritual treasure was only so-so, but it was quite handy as a club for beating people!
Dan Jing had even become a little too fond of it to put it down.
"Watch yourselves next time!"
Looking at the bruised and battered, pale-faced, pitiful Three Pure Ones, Dan Jing, the one who had beaten them, warned them.
Then.
He turned and headed back to where he had been sitting!
After a brief silence.
Feeling the Great Dao suppressive force pressing down on them vanish, the Three Pure Ones finally climbed to their feet and sat cross-legged in Chaos.
After taking another look at Dan Jing, they withdrew their gazes.
They said nothing, nor did they mention the Dark-Yellow Pagoda, the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud, or the innate treasure sword that Dan Jing had taken.
For now.
Since Dan Jing had not returned their treasures, there was no way they could retrieve them anytime soon.
Asking would not only be pointless—it might even earn them another vicious beating.
It was not worth it!
Fortunately—
The Three Pure Ones had always been confident that Dan Jing probably would not dare to outright seize their treasures...
"Hm?!"
The Three Pure Ones suddenly widened their eyes and looked toward Dan Jing.
At this moment, Dan Jing—
Had sat down once more before Violet Cloud Palace's gates, taken out the Dark-Yellow Pagoda, and begun using Solar Golden Flame to slowly erase the refinement imprint Laozi had left behind!
He was clearly planning to forcibly steal this postnatal merit supreme treasure!
The others also stared dumbfoundedly at Dan Jing's actions, occasionally turning to look at Laozi, whose face had darkened.
No, brother—
You really dared to openly and forcibly steal the Three Pure Ones' treasure right in front of them?
"Hm?"
Noticing the gazes from the Three Pure Ones and the gathered travelers of the mortal world, Dan Jing lifted his head and glanced at them.
Then.
He grinned.
"Hehehe..."
Then he continued erasing the imprint Laozi had left upon the postnatal merit supreme treasure, the Heaven-Earth Dark-Yellow Exquisite Pagoda—
He was determined to have this fine treasure!
As for whether the Three Pure Ones would be angry?
He had not considered it. In any case, he was not afraid of the Three Pure Ones at all right now.
So at this stage, he would first happily get this postnatal merit supreme treasure into his hands!
As for how he would face the Three Pure Ones' fury in the future, that problem... could be left for his future self to consider.
Please—
Future Lord Dan Jing, you're the best!!
