Humans and Witches Discuss the Dao (13)

Hundreds of kilometers away, on the battlefield between the White Bone Demon God and Xiluo and Deception Rabbit.

"You want to take over the Red Eye Cauldron?"

"Then I'd also like to see for myself whether the renowned Celestial Person is as extraordinary as the legends say!"

Watching the battle of the White Bone Demon God with cold indifference, Wu Zhen let out a laugh that sounded almost mocking.

Before Xiluo and Deception Rabbit could react, Wu Zhen was talking to someone.

The hundred-armed White Bone Demon God suddenly roared to the sky.

"Roar!"

The roar was deafening, and the wind howled.

In an instant, another flesh Flesh and Blood Demon God appeared out of thin air.

The Flesh and Blood Demon God did not have a human form, but rather resembled a mutated form formed by the gathering of countless monsters.

Eyes of varying sizes are everywhere, and grotesque and terrifying limbs are randomly pieced together.

From a distance, this deformed monster looked like a materialized natural disaster, emanating a stench and a bloody aura wherever it passed.

Even though Xiluo transformed into her red leopard form and spewed flames, she still couldn't stop the spread of that foul stench.

As a result, all the vegetation within a radius of several kilometers withered.

The ground beneath their feet transformed into a pool of blood, bubbling and gurgling with foul-smelling blood.

--The Ten White Bone Rings Flesh and Blood Demon God!

"Trying to stall us?"

Seeing that the White Bone Demon God and the Flesh and Blood Demon God were acting out of character and were launching an attack on the two of them, the two realized that the Bone Demon and the Flesh Demon were attacking them.

Deception Rabbit, who had been thinking about Xuansu Shi, immediately realized what was going on and looked at Wu Zhen, who had not participated in the battle.

As expected, Wu Zhen smiled faintly after removing the third ring, and then disappeared from Deception Rabbit's sight.

"Not good!"

Frightened and enraged Deception Rabbit didn't care about anything else and immediately turned around, wanting to take off again.

However, the White Bone Demon God reacted much faster than him.

A snake's tail instantly tore through the sky and slammed down on the Black Dragon in mid-air.

"There are dolls over there, what are you panicking for!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiluo returned to defend Deception Rabbit.

Immediately afterwards, Xiluo stood up again, transforming directly into a Ominous Deity form that was half human and half beast.

Call out!

In an instant, the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments] transformed into a golden light that pierced the air.

The White Bone Demon God and the Flesh and Blood Demon God had no power to resist and were instantly split in two.

Unfortunately, both of these demon gods possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities and did not lose their attack capabilities as a result.

Therefore, Xiluo had no choice but to manipulate the ribbons behind her to expand and grow larger once again.

She now seems to want to mimic the attack method of the [God-Binding Cord], completely trapping those broken bones and rotting flesh.

"You shamans of Great Xia are all the same..."

"He is willful and fond of fighting."

Seeing Wu Zhen appear out of nowhere behind the Netherworld Devil God, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of me now? You dare to show yourself in your true form?"

"Or is this just a fake body of yours?"

Faced with Li Boyang's question, Wu Zhen calmly shook his head.

"You've already met Wu Xian and the others, so you should be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and life and death are meaningless to great shamans of our caliber."

"I just feel that since you've decided to protect the Xuansu Shi..."

"Then not giving it your all would be an insult to both of us."

With a gentle turn of her ring, Wu Zhen removed the fourth [Ring of White Bone].

"Now let me see which is superior, your Method of the Celestial Person or my Witch Law!"

Unexpectedly, Li Boyang shook his head at this moment.

"There is no inherent superiority or inferiority between law and technique; only the strength or weakness of individuals differs."

"Since you have incorporated some of my Method of the Celestial Person, instead of simply following my old path, it shows that you are also a true seeker of the Dao."

"As a fellow seeker of truth, I'm very curious about your philosophy and how far you've progressed."

Li Boyang never arrogantly believed that he was a unique genius, nor did he believe that only he could pave a new path.

On the contrary, in such a real world, law and technique must rise in a spiral and be constantly iterated.

As the most outstanding sages of this era, the group of great shamans naturally could not be complacent and merely study the various Witch Law left by their predecessors.

Because "shaman" has never been a system, but rather a collective term for wise men and practitioners among humankind.

The Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain are among the best, each being the strongest in their respective fields.

This Wu Zhen is one of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, and his wisdom is certainly not much less than that of Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Luo, and Wu Peng.

"You want to discuss philosophy with me?"

He quickly understood Li Boyang's intention.

Wu Zhen frowned, having never encountered such a situation before.

Although the term "discussion of the Way" does not exist in the group of high shamans, communication among them is a necessity.

Communication leads to wisdom and progress; this is common sense at all times.

Wu Zhen was able to integrate some of the Method of the Celestial Person because he had previously communicated with Wu Xian and Wu Peng.

"I've shown enough goodwill, don't you think?"

"How about we each compromise a little further and use this Red Eye Cauldron as the wager?"

"If I lose, I will personally retrieve the Red Eye Cauldron and hand it over to you."

"You know I'm different from you. This isn't difficult for me, it just takes some time."

"But if I win, you must promise not to continue hunting down Xuansu Shi son."

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Li Boyang spoke with certainty.

Li Boyang's protectiveness towards his own children is genuine, but so is his dislike of Xuansu Shi.

It was clearly not the outcome Li Boyang wanted for the sake of Xuansu Shi and one of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain to become mortal enemies.

Furthermore, Wu Zhen clearly intended to resolve this issue peacefully from the beginning.

From Li Boyang's perspective, it's best to avoid escalating the conflict if possible.

After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

Li Boyang had no desire to become the personal bodyguard of Xuansu Shi and her son, forever guarding against a powerful shaman.

Not to mention, Li Boyang was never the kind of arrogant guy.

Wu Yi's disastrous performance serves as a constant reminder to him.

Those who are arrogant and self-important will inevitably face betrayal and alienation from all, becoming enemies of the world.

Moreover, as a seeker of the Dao, Li Boyang was genuinely curious about just how far Wu Zhen had progressed.

"To be able to discuss the Dao with the legendary Ancestor of Dao Transmission..."

"And which witch wouldn't want that?"

After thinking for less than a second, Wu Zhen made her own decision.

"If you can defeat me, then I will ignore this Red Eye Cauldron from now on."

The fact that Wu Zhen was able to make such a promise is enough to show that he accepted Li Boyang's goodwill.

The life-or-death struggle has been downgraded to a debate on principles and techniques.

Wu Zhen, being the weaker party, undoubtedly gained a huge advantage.

At the very least, Wu Zhen won't need to worry about the safety of her physical body in the upcoming battles, allowing her to focus entirely on controlling her demon god in combat.

This is a very rational choice.

Wu Zhen wasn't afraid of death, but she didn't want to die for no reason.

Regardless of whether Li Boyang keeps his promise afterward, Wu Zhen has already fulfilled his duty as the "Witch of Great Xia".

This is also the biggest difference between Wu Zhen and other great shamans.

She was a true seeker of truth, though she valued her duties as a high priestess.

But they would never pursue the duties of a great shaman as their life's mission, like Wu Xian and others.

As a result, the White Bone Demon God and Flesh and Blood Demon God on another battlefield also abandoned their suicidal attack and voluntarily reduced the intensity of their battle.

It's a deal!

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang decisively snapped his fingers.

His gaze then turned to the fourth [Ring of White Bone].

The next moment, Wu Zhen, with perfect understanding, threw the [Ring of White Bone] into the air.

An indescribable object, its form extremely distorted, seemingly derived from countless reflections in a mirror, suddenly appeared in the sky.

--The Ten White Bone Rings Distortion Devil God!
