"Die!"
Phew!
A hoarse voice suddenly resounded through the sky, followed by a bird's cry and roar that echoed throughout the temple.
At this moment, both Zhu Pei and the other person outside, as well as Xu Long and the others inside the dojo, knew that the Duck Beast King was serious.
Its massive body propelled a hurricane, pouring directly into the light curtain below, the blades clicking and rattling like roller shutters.
Among them, Zhu Peizi and He Huaibao were barely breathing; they were swept up by the hurricane and were at the forefront.
Before the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart's protective barrier could be torn apart, the energy of the Duck Beast King from behind had already attacked!
"Your Majesty, please spare him!"
At the critical moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the dojo.
The sound transformed into sound waves, seemingly moving through the air, and resounded within the main vein.
The beam of light only ended above the heads of the cultivators, flashing past their eyes.
A long afterimage appeared in the sky above the dojo; the person's speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, they were under the hurricane.
However, the Duck Beast King above scoffed at this, saying, "No matter how fast a cultivator is, how can they outrun the speed of the wind, a force of nature?"
As the afterimage flashed across the arena, the Duck Beast King in the air stirred up a hurricane, determined to shatter the light barrier in front of the afterimage.
Zhu Peizi and the other person on the light screen instantly felt a surge of pressure, and only then did they realize...
It turns out that the Duck Beast King had been keeping them alive all along to torture them to death in front of their master.
Just as the hurricane was about to tear apart the light curtain of the dojo, the afterimage in the air paused unhurriedly.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he produced twelve small array flags from his sleeve.
Then a series of rapid incantations were heard, and the twelve array flags rose into the air in an instant.
They then transformed into enormous array flags, which fell upon the protective dojo below.
The Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation trembled violently, and the formation flags on the ground quickly sank into the earth.
The cultivators stationed at the pass felt a sudden sense of relief, as the previously tense situation was completely stabilized.
At this moment, they all looked up at the sky and shouted excitedly:
"This disciple greets the True Lord!"
"Greetings, True Lord!"
The twelve dojos trembled simultaneously, and the array flags that had just been raised landed on the spiritual veins underground.
The stationed cultivators all bowed to the afterimage, addressing him as "True Lord" repeatedly.
The chorus of shouts was like a surging tide, which greatly surprised the surrounding cultivators.
The afterimage that lingered in the air didn't stay for long; instead, it turned and quickly headed off the field.
Perhaps after stabilizing the formation within the dojo, it was time to unleash the threat above.
Duck Beast King saw the battle flags being raised, he knew that this Old Man Pinglu had been prepared for a long time.
It involuntarily sank its body rapidly in mid-air, trying to intercept the figure of Perfected Lord Pinglu outside the formation.
Its broad wings spread out in unison, each feather gleaming with an inexplicable cold light, like a sharp guillotine.
The two were barely holding on under the hurricane, and a cruel smile flashed in the eyes of the Duck Beast King.
The wings that unfurled in the air were aimed directly at the two people below, slashing down fiercely!
As the blades slashed overhead, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes, and the Duck Beast King's body appeared more clearly before him than ever before.
A chill ran through Zhu Peizi and He Huaibao. They were only a step away from their master, yet it felt like an insurmountable distance.
My life is over!
Clang!
A metallic clang rang out instantly in my ears.
The guillotine overhead had been blocked at some point, and the two were enveloped in a strange light amidst the hurricane.
The whooshing sound continued unabated, but the two were no longer in mortal danger.
" The Thousand-Jun Tower!"
He Huaibao froze in mid-air for a moment, looking at the treasure above his head, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Zhu Peizi was overjoyed when she saw the afterimage appear; her master's emergence from seclusion at this moment was truly timely.
To be able to emerge from seclusion and fight under the threat of the Duck Beast King, Master must have already overcome Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations...
The two bowed respectfully to a beam of light in the sky, and then, protected by a layer of precious light, they moved away from the aerial battlefield.
The Duck Beast King had just summoned a hurricane, and its attack, using its own wings as a shield, was instantly blocked by a layer of precious light.
A massive energy shockwave formed beneath the clang of metal.
Before the shockwave could spread, the precious light beneath the wings quickly swept across, absorbing all the chaotic energy.
The Duck Beast King in the air folded its wings and used the air currents to lift its massive body into the air.
It is so light in the air that it seems to have no mass at all.
As it watched the energy fluctuations disperse, a strange smile appeared in its narrow eye sockets.
Old Man Pinglu, you've finally come out!
After pondering for a moment, the massive body of the Duck Beast King hovered above the training ground.
Hurricanes continuously formed beneath it, the fierce hurricanes like steel blades, raging through the air and creating a tremendous howling sound.
The area ravaged by the hurricane was a scene of utter devastation, and the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation below was positioned directly beneath the Duck Beast King's body.
Although constantly threatened by steel blades, the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation remained unaffected thanks to the reinforcement of the twelve array flags.
Seeing the Duck Beast King rise into the air, the beam of light in the air paused slightly, and then withdrew the layer of precious light above the dojo.
As the precious light shone forth, a figure emerged from within the beam of light.
The figure wore a long purple robe, and her hair was simply tied up in a topknot, held in place by a wooden hairpin.
His face was aged, his beard and hair were silver, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and his demeanor was vigorous.
Standing tall beneath the Duck Beast King, he showed no signs of weakness; beneath his slender frame, it seemed, lay boundless energy.
When the old man saw Zhu Peizi and the other person return to the defense dojo, he smiled sadly at the Duck Beast King, and all the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
As if meeting an old friend of many years, he showed no resentment whatsoever for what the Duck Beast King had just done.
He stood tall above the dojo, and after emerging from a beam of light, the precious light that had been beneath the wings of the Duck Beast King was now in his palm.
The radiant light emanating from the vessel possessed an unusual color, which, when combined with the purple robes of the Perfected Lord Pinglu, created an exceptionally mysterious aura.
Upon seeing the precious light in Perfected Lord Pinglu's hand, a barely perceptible look of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the circling Duck Beast King.
Even though it seemed to roam the heavens, it still had to be a little more careful under this precious light.
With this precious light in hand, Perfected Lord Pinglu could stand fearlessly beneath the Beast King's body.
Xu Long, who was present, saw it clearly; the figure that flashed out from the beam of light was undoubtedly True Perfected Lord Pinglu.
The precious light held in the True Lord's hand was actually an exquisite little pagoda.
