Mingyuan let out a heart-wrenching scream. The dark blue flames seemed to have a mind of their own, specifically targeting the gaps in his willpower and burning them along his meridians!
His golden robe turned to ashes in the flames, revealing his charred and cracked skin underneath, with even his bones faintly visible in the fire!
Fortunately, the old monk was quite decisive.
The Glazed Glass light from its mouth shot out with a roar, heading straight for Chen Fuguang, forcing Chen Fuguang to retreat temporarily.
At the same time, he made a Law Seals with his left hand, and a stream of spiritual water appeared out of thin air, landing on his body and surging onto the dark blue spiritual fire. Then he suddenly ripped off his golden kasaya, which transformed into a beam of Glazed Glass light and landed not far away.
The azure flames burned relentlessly, reducing the golden kasaya, equivalent to Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact, to ashes. The spiritual water extinguished most of it, but the remaining flames lingered like a persistent ailment, until the kasaya was completely burned away...
Chen Fuguang landed in the clouds, holding a black gold halberd in his right hand and a ball of dark blue light, like a candle flame, in his left hand, which was very agile and swayed slightly.
Not far away, Chen Yazhen sat gracefully on the flying boat, her figure elegant and poised. The [ Mystic Pure Cinnabar Moon Mirror ] still hung above her head, cascading down its moon-white iridescent light.
" Divergent Flame!"
Mingyuan stood disheveled in the distant void, his golden cassock reduced to ashes, revealing his slightly gaunt body.
Originally the color of Glazed Glass gold powder, it was now charred black with slight cracks, and a faint dark blue color flashed by within. He grimaced in pain, but only one thought occupied his mind!
" Divergent Flame?!"
"You, a Foundation Establishment, what merit or ability do you possess to have the fortuitous opportunity to obtain a Divergent Flame?!"
Chen Fuguang remained silent, only chuckled, then raised his hand and struck out in mid-air, like a golden flame, instantly slamming into Mingyuan's head.
clang!
Just then, a dark, ominous light suddenly appeared in the void, and a bronze staff appeared out of the void, clashing with the black halberd!
The two separated as soon as they touched. Chen Fuguang felt a powerful force coming from the halberd, which made his hands go numb and his whole body fly backward for dozens of feet before he could finally regain his footing!
He looked up and saw that there was another figure beside Mingyuan.
Chen Yazhen put away the flying boat, her figure transforming into a shimmering light as she landed beside her senior brother, looking at the newcomer with a wary expression.
The newcomer wore a dark robe adorned with numerous demonic figures. He had a gloomy appearance, and his body was surrounded by swirling demonic light. He held a bronze staff in his hand.
"Master Mingyuan, it seems your Buddhist practice... isn't all that great after all?"
The demonic Golden Core cultivator gave a cold laugh, making no attempt to hide the mockery in his tone.
Mingyuan's expression hardened. He wanted to curse, but thinking of the schemes within the temple, he could only suppress his anger and say resentfully:
" Gongyang Lanshan, enough nonsense! These two brats are just as talented as Chen Shuangbai... Act quickly, before the Sword Alliance can react!"
The demonic Gongyang Lanshan Golden Core, no longer mocking the humiliated old monk, but instead turning his bloodshot eyes to the senior and junior disciples before him.
"Hey, these are truly excellent materials for corpse refining!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fuguang's eyes flashed with golden flames. Instead of showing fear, he grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and his aura became arrogant and unruly.
" Gongyang Lanshan, a disciple of the Parting Hate Gate Sect, Middle Golden Core Stage... He's even trying to stop me because he's associated with the Lotus Temple... Heh heh, are you really that afraid of my master's sword?"
Gongyang Lanshan, having his true identity exposed, did not become angry. He simply looked coldly at the two senior and junior disciples and said in a chilling voice, "The sins Chen Shuangbai committed are now being repaid!"
"Speaking of which, you probably don't know this, do you?"
"Don't know what?"
Chen Fuguang suddenly felt something was wrong. He recalled that the Golden Core from the Parting Hate Gate and the Lotus Temple had gathered together and were now intercepting him here... Could it be that something had happened to his master in the Ten Thousand Rivers Sea?
Gongyang Lanshan laughed wildly, his laughter unrestrained, and said sternly, "My sect's Grand Elder, along with the Third and Fourth Elders, has descended upon your Jade Spring Sect Sect's mountain gate in Sunken Jade Valley!"
"Besides that, several Nascent Soul Demon Lord also landed in Ning Country... tsk tsk tsk!"
"Now... hehe, it must be a complete ruin by now!"
Their expressions changed instantly!
Jade Spring Sect is besieged?!
The news struck them like a thunderbolt!
Chen Fuguang gripped the black halberd tightly, but his expression calmed down. He took a few deep breaths, and the golden flames in his golden eyes subsided, but became even colder.
Say that again!
Seeing his reaction, Gongyang Lanshan's smile deepened, as if he thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of crushing the other's hopes. "What? Didn't you hear me?"
"Then I'll say it again--"
"Your Jade Spring Sect is now completely surrounded by the Holy Origin Alliance's army! With the Demon Heaven-Hating Devil Lord personally taking action, along with Lotus Temple and several Nascent Soul Demon Lord, what can your little Jade Spring Sect possibly use to stop them?"
Above Chen Yazhen's head, the [ Mystic Pure Cinnabar Moon Mirror ] flashed with light, and a beam of moon-white light shone towards Gongyang Lanshan. Gongyang Lanshan chuckled, and his body was enveloped in rolling demonic energy, making it impossible for the mirror to reflect his true form.
"You want to freeze me in place with this magic mirror?"
Gongyang Lanshan scoffed, "It's still a long way off!"
Chen Yazhen wanted to retort, but Chen Fuguang stopped her with a gesture.
"Senior brother?"
Chen Yazhen looked at her brother and saw a resolute look in Chen Fuguang's golden eyes. Then she heard him say, " Yazhen, hold on for me for now. I'll come to your aid in a moment!"
Without waiting for Chen Yazhen to react, Chen Fuguang sat cross-legged on the spot, standing in the void. At the same time, he took out a pill bottle from his bosom, poured out a round pill that looked like a golden flame, swallowed it in one gulp, and his body was filled with a rich, bright golden-white light, and his aura became stronger than ever before!
This action surprised Gongyang Lanshan and Mingyuan.
But the two of them immediately realized it--
Is he trying to break through to the Golden Core?!
Mingyuan was furious, Gongyang Lanshan watched coldly. His body was filled with demonic energy, and the many demons on his robes seemed to be about to pounce, creating a terrifying scene like an impending storm!
"He's courting death!"
Gongyang Lanshan sneered, brandishing his copper staff. Rolling demonic energy transformed into a ferocious black dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Chen Fuguang!
Chen Yazhen had already stood in front of her senior brother, and an unprecedented determination appeared in her silver eyes. She pointed her finger at the treasure mirror above her head, and beams of pure white light shot out from it, condensing into a crystal-clear ice wall in front of her!
boom--!!!
The demonic black dragon crashed into the ice wall, unleashing a deafening roar!
The ice wall shattered instantly, exploding into pieces.
