After some time, one morning, Jin Peng arrived outside Jin Ling's Daoist Palace and shouted, "Senior Brother Bo Huang, something happened!"
Bo Huang, still bleary with sleep, said, "What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Jin Peng said, "Hurry, Senior Brother! If you don't step in, something huge is going to happen. Chang Er Ding Guang Xian verbally harassed Shi Ji, an outer sect female disciple. My brother Kong Xuan beat Chang Er, but Senior Brother Duobao said my brother had gone too far. The two of them are about to fight."
Bo Huang rolled his neck and said, "What are you panicking for? They're both Taiyi Golden Immortals. Duobao may have more magic treasures, but your brother's Five-Colored Divine Light is no pushover either. Who knows which of them is stronger..."
Jin Peng said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. If my brother loses, it can still be talked over. But if he knocks Senior Brother Duobao flat, that would be far too awkward. You should hurry over and mediate."
Bo Huang thought it over and realized that was true. If that Little Fatty Duobao could not defeat Kong Xuan, he would definitely choose to self-destruct a spiritual treasure to win. In that case... Mm, what a waste. Better let me handle it.
With that thought, he activated Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow and arrived at the scene in an instant.
At the back mountain of Shangqing Peak, Duobao was radiating clear light while Five-Colored Divine Light flickered around Kong Xuan. The two were locked in a contest of auras and were just about to exchange blows.
Suddenly, Duobao bent forward and shot through the sky like lightning, vanishing from his original spot in an instant. He was so fast that he was impossible to track. At the same time, a sword shining with golden light appeared in Kong Xuan's hand. Its blade light streaked across the sky like a meteor, flying straight at Duobao.
Duobao sensed Kong Xuan's attack and instantly shifted, as though evading an invisible danger. He moved as nimbly as a cheetah, like a willow branch swaying in the wind. Kong Xuan pursued closely, his sword moves unceasing, every strike containing his focus and power.
Their figures crisscrossed through the forest, tearing through the tranquil air. Their movement techniques were incomparably agile, displaying their superb martial skills. Even the surrounding air seemed to be ripped apart by their clash, releasing bursts of harsh noise.
Bo Huang was in no hurry. Seeing that neither had used any great divine abilities yet, he joined the other outer sect disciples in watching the show.
Jin Peng said, "Senior Brother Bo Huang, stop them already! I'm afraid my brother is about to strike hard. Look, he's forming a hand seal."
Kong Xuan returned to his true form. The feathers behind him flashed, and the Five-Colored Divine Light swept forth, sending Duobao stumbling back several steps. He said, "Senior Brother, you cannot shield Chang Er just because you're close to him, can you?"
Duobao flew into a rage. "A mere outer sect disciple dares accuse me? Your divine ability may be strong, but take one attack from me!" As he spoke, a faint cyan palm imprint appeared on his hand. He struck out with his palm, throwing the nearby spiritual energy into disorder. He had clearly used his full strength.
Kong Xuan laughed loudly. "Senior Brother, don't be so arrogant. Watch me break your divine ability." As he spoke, he unleashed another streak of Five-Colored Divine Light, directly brushing away the palm imprint.
Seeing that they had truly begun fighting in earnest, Bo Huang stepped out to stop them. "Senior Brother Duobao, Junior Brother Kong Xuan, please stop. We are fellow disciples; do not let this escalate."
Duobao roared in fury, "Bo Huang, do you dare say today's matter was not orchestrated by you?"
Bo Huang stomped his foot and said, "I was trying to help you, and you're accusing me instead? Duobao, if you don't like me, just say so. Come on, I'll fight you."
Duobao directly drew an immortal sword. "Then let's fight. I reckon you're the weakest among the Heavenly Court Crown Princes... otherwise, would the Heavenly Emperor have let you come out and marry into another family? I'll give you one move. You attack first."
Bo Huang did not stand on ceremony. He directly summoned the Golden Crow Li Fire Sword as Solar True Fire surged around him. He shouted, "Great Sun Golden Crow Art—A Speck of Warm Sun Arrives First, Then One Sword Burns the Heavens. Go!"
