A Single Drop of Water

But just as the Yellow Springs Qi surged in like a burst dam, the Gang Qi on Su Yao and Yang Xiu's bodies simultaneously surged.

The "Quell the Killing Aura" talisman around Su Yao began to spin, scattering a ring of extremely fine starlight. Like a cold Sword-Ray, it swept past the outer edge of the three people, forcefully suppressing the Yellow Springs Qi that was the first to surge in.

Around Yang Xiu, the "Wield the Harmonious Wind" Gang Qi forth like spring water overflowing its banks. The bluish-white breeze spread outwards from the three of them, repeatedly "dissolving" the remaining Yellow Springs Qi, like a spring breeze and rain, gradually dissolving the corrupt and defiled power.

With one gathering and the other dispersing, the two Gang Qi formed a subtle cycle in the midst of the desperate situation.

The Yellow Springs Qi surged forth, its sharpness first concealed by Su Yao's Quell the Killing Aura, then murderous intent by Yang Xiu's Wield the Harmonious Wind. This cycle repeated, eventually creating a thin, bluish-white light shield around the three of them, protecting them.

Xue Min was already at her limit when Su Yao caught her, preventing her from collapsing on the spot.

He gasped for breath, raised his head, looked at the thin, gossamer-like light barrier, and gave a bitter laugh:

"Gang Qi... truly formidable. But how long can this protective barrier last?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yao pondered for a moment, realizing that the three of them were in the same boat, before speaking:

"Although he is the reincarnation of True Lord and possesses two Law Treasure, this Gang Qi was personally bestowed upon him by the Eastern Pole Dao Lord; it is unlikely to be broken in a short time."

Upon hearing that it was a divine gift personally bestowed by the Dao Lord, Xue Min felt much more at ease.

After Su Yao finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Hai.

At the same time, Chen Hai's gaze was also fixed on that layer of bluish-white light shield.

He looked at the Gang Qi and nodded slightly, as if in praise or admiration:

"The Gang Qi is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It's a pity..."

He paused, then leaned forward, coming above the three of them. He first pressed the Great Marsh Banner down in his hand, then said in a deep voice:

"Let's try it and see, after all, it's not the real person making a move!"

As he finished speaking, the Sixfold Completion Jar in his hand tilted again.

This time, the waters of the Yellow Springs no longer merely spread out, but poured down like a waterfall directly over the heads of the three.

At this moment, the waters of the Yellow Springs surged like a reversed Heavenly River, endlessly crashing against the bluish-white light barrier.

The light shield flickered, its surface swirling with runes and the Gang Qi of the wind. Each time it was struck, it would dent slightly, only to spring back to its original shape.

Seeing this, Chen Hai thought to himself:

This Gang Qi... is even more troublesome than I expected.

He stood above the three of them, the Great Marsh Banner held horizontally in front of him, Sixfold Completion Jar were spilling out, and his brows furrowed little by little.

This Gang Qi neither increases nor decreases, neither breaks nor is destroyed; no matter how the Yellow Springs wreak havoc, it remains unchanged.

The Yellow Springs water drawn by the Sixfold Completion Jar consumed the power of the Earth Witch. However, he cultivated the Proclaiming Earth, and although these two paths were close, they were ultimately only close and not one. He could not wield it as effectively as he could wield the Great Marsh Banner in his hand. But in the current situation, the Sixfold Completion Jar was actually more reliable.

An hour later, Chen Hai, seeing that he couldn't break through after a long attack, began to feel impatient.

Inside the light barrier, Su Yao observed all of this.

He saw it clearly. Each impact of the Yellow Springs water was softened by the "Suppressing Quell the Killing Aura" and murderous intent by the "Wield the Harmonious Wind." The two Gang Qi gathered and dispersed as naturally as breathing. Although Chen Hai's attacks were fierce, he could not break this cycle. But he also knew that this light barrier could protect their lives, but it could not get them out of the predicament. Chen Hai could not break the Gang Qi, Gang Qi could not break the Yellow Springs water.

"Brother Dao," Yang Xiu said in a low voice, sweat rolling down his forehead, "If he continues to suppress us like this, we can only keep dragging this out."

Su Yao didn't reply, he just stared at Chen Hai.

Just then, a loud rumble suddenly came from the depths of the Great Void.

The roar was extremely distant, like rolling thunder on the horizon or the bellowing of a bull from the earth, causing the entire Great Void to tremble slightly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hai's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly looked up into the depths of the Great Void.

Su Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out:

"This is... a battle between True Lord..."

Yang Xiu was also shocked, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes:

"The True Lord have always fought outside the heavens, to prevent causing damage to the world..."

At this moment, Chen Hai's expression changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pressed down on the Sixfold Completion Jar in his hand, using his Law Power to suspend it above the three of them.

The water from the Yellow Springs continued to cascade down the jar like a waterfall, maintaining a continuous cycle that trapped the three people inside.

Then, ignoring Su Yao and the other two, he turned and sped towards the entrance of the fragment of the cave he had come from earlier.

Seeing this, Su Yao instantly understood his plan and said in a deep voice:

"He wants to release those demons and strange creatures..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hai had already reached the entrance of the fragment of the cave. Then, he suddenly waved the Great Marsh Banner in his hand, and a powerful force of Proclaiming Earth tore at the cave wall like a giant hand.

The barrier, which already had a small crack, was further weakened by the attacks from the dozen or so Purple Mansion within the fragments. Pulled by this immense force, it finally gave way, and the entire cave entrance was torn open with a "boom," opening to a width of nearly ten zhang.

The demons and exotic creatures that had been gathering their strength within the cave, sensing the presence of the outside world, all let out deafening roars.

The first to rush out of the cave were two demons shrouded in black mist: one a one-horned black python, the other a three-headed blue wolf, both at the Purple Mansion level. As soon as they appeared, their overwhelming demonic Yao Qi surged like black clouds, darkening the Great Void itself.

Su Yao and Yang Xiu, who were in the Yellow Springs Cage, could see this clearly, and their expressions were extremely grim.

"Two demons from the Purple Mansion!" Yang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Su Yao remained silent, staring intently at the two demons with a chillingly cold gaze.

What he saw was the "materials" needed to refine the talisman, which were about to disappear.

But just as the two demons stepped out of the cave, a sudden change occurred.

A drop of water.

Only one drop.

The water droplets appear gray.

It appeared out of thin air directly in front of the two demons.

The drop of water was extremely clear and pure, as if it had just gushed from a spring.

The two demons seemed to sense something was wrong. The one-horned black python suddenly coiled its body, and the three heads of the three-headed blue wolf simultaneously looked towards the drop of water.

Then, the drop of water fell gently.

"Snap."

Like a drop of water falling into a deep pool.

In the next instant, the two Purple Mansion demons vanished into thin air like paper lanterns.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hai's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly.

He sensed it.

This must be the work of True Lord.

A genuine and perfectly preserved True Lord.

As for Subterranean Water, the only True Lord in the Subterranean Water now is the ruler of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Almost instinctively, he raised his hand to summon back the Sixfold Completion Jar in the distance.

But the Subterranean Water faster than him.

A transparent, dragon-shaped stream of water silently rolled in from the depths of the Great Void, enveloping Chen Hai and Sixfold Completion Jar in succession, before being gently tossed aside.

"Boom!"

Chen Hai, along with the jar, was flung out of the Great Void and fell into the mortal world below. A ripple appeared on the brown light screen below, and he vanished like a pebble thrown into a deep lake.
