Hongjun's Schemes Exposed, the Yin-Yang Daoist Enraged

The Taiji Diagram contained a realm of yin and yang energies. Within it, the Yin-Yang Daoist enjoyed every advantage, and his power had grown enormously. He had heard Luohou himself say he had fought Qiankun to a standstill. Now that Luohou had entered his Yin-Yang Domain of his own accord, the Daoist felt more confident than ever and declared he would kill him here!

Luohou was still seething over his earlier setback against Li Yi's Spirit Treasure. Faced with the Yin-Yang Daoist's attitude, he laughed in anger.

"I'd like to see what you're capable of, Daoist..."

Boom!

Under the Yin-Yang Daoist's control, yin and yang energies swept up a millstone Spirit Treasure and formed the World-Grinding Disc. It blotted out the sky as it bore down on Luohou. This was the Yin-Yang World-Grinding Wheel, a Combat Divine Ability he had mastered long ago. Combined with the Taiji Diagram's power, it was several times stronger than before!

The Yin-Yang Daoist had opened with his deadliest move!

A cold smile crossed Luohou's face. The God-Slaying Spear's source power gathered around its tip, and he met the enormous World-Grinding Disc head-on without the slightest attempt to dodge!

Seeing that Luohou had not dodged, the Yin-Yang Daoist looked delighted.

Idiot! Since I mastered the Yin-Yang World-Grinding Wheel, some have escaped it, but none it struck have survived!

The millstone inside is a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, my Companion Innate Supreme Treasure! With the power of the Taiji Diagram, a World-Creation Supreme Treasure, behind it, it's surely no weaker than an offensive Innate Supreme Treasure!

And the Demon Ancestor is meeting it head-on? He must have a death wish.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Luohou's God-Slaying Spear struck the World-Grinding Disc. In an instant, a crack raced across the vast millstone, and the yin and yang energies surrounding it fell apart!

Pfft!

His Companion Innate Supreme Treasure had been broken, its grade dropping instantly to that of a High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. The Yin-Yang Daoist spat blood, gravely wounded, and stood there in shock!

This... This can't be right.

What happened to fighting Qiankun to a standstill? Why is he so ferocious against me? My Companion Innate Supreme Treasure was a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure, bolstered by the Taiji Diagram's yin and yang energies, yet he ruined it in one strike?

Looking at the bewildered Yin-Yang Daoist, Luohou bared his teeth in a vicious grin.

Idiot! The Heaven-Earth Daoist has a defensive Innate Supreme Treasure that repels all arts! My God-Slaying Spear really couldn't do anything to him.

But the Yin-Yang Daoist thought he could clash with my God-Slaying Spear using a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure millstone? Was it even worthy?

Supreme-grade or not, it's still an Innate Spiritual Treasure, not an Innate Supreme Treasure! And he dared meet my God-Slaying Spear head-on? Has the Yin-Yang Daoist always been this brave?

The moment their eyes met, the Yin-Yang Daoist shuddered. Without a moment's hesitation, he put away his damaged millstone, used yin and yang energies to hinder Luohou, then wrapped himself in the Taiji Diagram and fled!

Too brutal! How am I supposed to fight him? That Heaven-Earth Daoist fought someone like this to a standstill? Luohou was lying to me!

Luohou gave a savage laugh at the sight of him fleeing. The God-Slaying Spear swept aside the yin and yang energies around him, and a Twelve-Grade Black Lotus appeared beneath his feet as he gave chase.

He had meant to toy with his prey a little longer, but his expression suddenly changed. The Immortal-Exterminating Sword had been taken too! Two of the four swords were gone. If he wasted any more time, he would be in danger!

With that thought, Luohou poured power into his pursuit and accelerated.

The Yin-Yang Daoist sensed the Demon Ancestor closing in behind him. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his life began flashing before them!

No. I absolutely cannot die here today. I survived the World-Creation Calamity...

Even as he thought this, the Yin-Yang Daoist forced out his Essence Blood and burned it for a burst of speed. But no matter how hard he tried, Luohou kept gaining on him!

Just as despair took hold, the Yin-Yang Daoist spotted a figure in the distance. His eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun! Save me!"

Not far away, a Black-Robed Daoist was frowning as he followed his divination toward the Array Eye. At the cry, his expression changed. He turned, saw Luohou chasing the Yin-Yang Daoist, and nearly went mad with anger.

What kind of luck is this?

The Immortal-Slaying Sword had already been taken before the Kind Corpse could reach it. The Array Eye housing the Immortal-Exterminating Sword was farthest away, and the Self Corpse had yet to arrive there. He was on the verge of finding the Immortal-Trapping Sword, and now the Yin-Yang Daoist had led Luohou straight to him?

Luohou had spotted the Black-Robed Daoist too. The instant he saw Hongjun's Evil Corpse, the profound Karma between them let him see through Hongjun's scheme. He snorted.

"Hongjun, what a clever scheme! You brought three Daoists in to break the formation, making me think they were your greatest asset. In truth, you used them as bait to draw my attention. Your real reliance is on these External Incarnations, Refined from Spirit Treasures?"

"An ingenious Refining method. One External Incarnation, yet it has the power of a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint? Impressive!"

The Three Corpses Severing Method was something Hongjun had learned from the Creation Jade Disc. Luohou knew nothing of it and assumed these were merely External Incarnations Refined from Spirit Treasures!

At Luohou's words, anger flashed across the Yin-Yang Daoist's face.

"Hongjun, you used us as bait?"

Hongjun's Evil Corpse forced a smile.

"Can you trust the Demon Ancestor's words? I sent this incarnation because I feared you couldn't hold out alone, fellow Daoist. I came to help..."

As he spoke, Hongjun's Evil Corpse turned to Luohou, his face filled with righteous fury.

"Demon, stop trying to turn us against each other!"

With that, Hongjun's Evil Corpse summoned a Spirit Treasure and charged forward, as though he truly intended to help the Yin-Yang Daoist stand against Luohou. The Yin-Yang Daoist's expression eased. For one instant, he believed Hongjun had come to help him...

Without hesitation, Hongjun's Evil Corpse formed a Dao Seal in his palm and struck the Yin-Yang Daoist square in the chest.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he sent the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Taiji Diagram wrapped around him flying straight toward the pursuing Luohou!

Then Hongjun's Evil Corpse activated his Spirit Treasure and shot toward the Array Eye he had already located, leaving a streak of light behind!

For a moment, silence fell. Luohou and the Yin-Yang Daoist stared at each other from close range, neither quite grasping what had happened.

Half a second later, they finally came to their senses. A mocking smile appeared on Luohou's face, and he burst out laughing.

"Well played, Hongjun. I underestimated you!"

The Yin-Yang Daoist's cheeks, already pale from exhausting his power, drained of all color. He let out a shriek filled with boundless hatred.

"Hongjun!"

The shriek echoed throughout the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Everyone inside turned toward it, wondering what had happened.

A streak of green light sensed the cry from the Immortal-Trapping Sword's Array Eye and flew toward them.
