Slaying the Dragon Kings of the Five Lakes

In the Xieluosi River Holy Land, a top-level battle broke out immediately after a few words.

The Five Lakes Dragon Kings are not well-known; each of them individually would be difficult to rank among, but when the five Dragon Kings are together, they are enough to rival the top tier of cultivators in the Three Realms.

As a gatekeeper, one may not have much power, but one must be strong.

This is also a common situation in various Sacred Land. For example, in the early years, the cultivators who patrolled the four heavenly gates of the Immortal Court were the Four Great Emperors such as Gouchen. Their strength was second only to the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor. Another example is Wang Shan, the gatekeeper of the Lingxiao Palace, who is the strongest among the younger generation of the Immortal Court.

The combined strength of the Five Lakes Kings is impeccable, as many of them represent the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

There is the Dragon King's sharp metal, which is good at killing; there is the Dragon King's skill in the surprise attack of the Dragon-Hiding Stakes; there is the Dragon King's control of water to arrange the entire water area; and there is the Dragon King's mouth spewing purple flames to bring completely opposite attack attributes, making it impossible to defend against. Meanwhile, the Earth Dragon King controls the earth to build the most solid defense.

The reason why Zhang Xuezhou had no way to deal with the Five Lakes Dragon King was this: no matter how good he was at flying or how resilient he was, once he was trapped by the Five Lakes Dragon King, he would inevitably be tied up and brought back.

However, these five dragon kings also encountered their most troublesome opponent: the Master Zhunti, who was skilled at breaking the power of the five elements.

If one side builds and the other breaks, the battle will remain in the process of casting and breaking spells. In the end, it will be a contest of each other's endurance. There is even a high probability that the Zhunti Sect Master will be unwilling to expend his body and will be defeated. However, with the addition of the Sect Master Jieyin, who is good at defense, the result will be completely different.

"The Five Lakes Dragon King is doomed!"

After observing the battle for only a few dozen breaths, Zhang Xuezhou had already stood up and kept looking at the bronze gate in the lake.

"I wonder if the array artifacts of the three Sacred Land are inside!"

If he could rely on the glass, bluestone, and precious pearl array artifacts of the three Sacred Land to control the Primordial Limitless Array, and even unleash the array's power, Zhang Xuezhou felt it was possible to force Donghua and the others to retreat, or at the very least, allow himself to retreat freely.

Like the countless noisy and cacophonous birds and bird demons above the Xieluosi River Holy Land, he was powerless to assist the Dragon King of the Five Lakes.

If he wanted to find a way to participate, Zhang Xuezhou could only turn his attention to the Hunyuan Wuji Array that controlled the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

More than ten years ago, he located the key points of the Hunyuan Wuji Array and became familiar with some of the array's control methods. He didn't have the ability to control the array in detail, but he was not lacking in the ability to destroy things in a rough and reckless manner. After all, doing good deeds is difficult, but doing bad deeds that harm people is indeed much easier.

Wings resembling light appeared on his arms, and Zhang Xuezhou stared intently at the bronze door, trying to ascertain the situation inside.

If Zhu Jiuyin cannot hold up the tree alone, he will have to lend a hand to cooperate with the other party. If he is not strong enough, he will find Ren Anran quickly leave this place.

"Shameless! You two actually attacked together!"

"Don't they have even a shred of the dignity of the Western Sect?!"

"A top expert is bullying a dragon!"

The Five Lakes Dragon Kings had strange forms and would suddenly unleash Five Elements Technique Method to attack from various places, while also letting out bursts of roars.

However, some of them lacked the strength to speak, and some dragon kings were already having difficulty speaking. After only a dozen or so exchanges, the dragon kings were already showing signs of weakness.

"Go!"

At some opportune moment, the Six Purity Bamboo in the hands of the Master Zhunti flew out, followed by a series of blows from the Vajra Pestle.

Amidst the roaring waves, a dark golden dragon head soared Gaogao, its body, less than five meters long, appearing and falling through the waves, creating ripples of crimson.

"Boss!"

A horrified voice rang out among the dragon kings.

They probably knew they would be defeated, but no Dragon King would have imagined dying so easily, and the Master Zhunti had no choice but to stop them once he was killed.

If he had known beforehand that it would lead to the death of the dragon, the Five Lakes Dragon King would have gathered all the demons in the Sacred Land to fight against it.

"Kill them!"

"Haotian has come to slaughter us!"

"He's after our bodies!"

From the lake came the Dragon King's shouts, and another Dragon King let out a high-pitched, sharp roar, trying to tell Zhu Jiuyin the seriousness of the matter.

A somber bell tolled throughout the Sacred Land, but as the Mystic Maiden unleashed a long-range sword strike, the bell's sound quickly faded away.

The noisy bird demons would swoop down towards the Eight Views Carriage from time to time, then fall into the lake like raindrops.

"Time is running out. Show us your true skills, lest we miss the crucial opportunity in the deduction," Donghua in the Eight Views Carriage urged, rising to his feet.

"I'd like to see how you deal with Zhu Jiuyin!"

After killing the Golden Dragon King, Master Zhunti retrieved his Vajra Pestle. He glanced at the Golden Dragon King's valuable body and, considering the difficulty of carrying the dragon's corpse over long distances, Zhunti n't help but snort, feeling that such a dragon-slaying was a waste.

Killing the Five Lakes Dragon King presents various inconveniences, makes it difficult to make proper use of the dragon corpse, and puts them at a greater disadvantage when facing Zhu Jiuyin.

If the elixir cannot be refined on the spot, killing Zhu Jiuyin is pointless.

However, given that Zhu Jiuyin's massive dragon body is bound to break through the heavens at the Kunlun difficulty level, Zhu Jiuyin wouldn't be foolish enough to cooperate.

If previous attempts at courteous treatment failed to lure them in, then violent violence would inevitably be a worse option.

"Fall!"

Within the protective system of the Sect Master Jieyin's Azure Lotus, the Zhunti Master unleashed his Law Treasure once again without any restraint.

With a flick of the Seven Treasures Tree, the figure of the Wood Dragon King emerged from the waves.

As if sensing a deadly risk, the Wood Dragon King's scales flew off and then transformed into hundreds of dragon-trapping stakes as thick as bowls.

The Seven Treasures Tree of the Zhunti Master was swept away, and these Dragon-Hiding Stakes also collided heavily with the Azure Lotus of the Sect Master Jieyin.

With a dull thud, several Vajra pestles flew out and pierced the Wood Dragon King's body. Countless tiny blue lotuses immediately appeared on the Wood Dragon King's body, causing his dragon body to wither almost instantly.

"I've been watching you for centuries, and now I've reaped the rewards ahead of time. It's a pity that my lotus flower has lost some of its benefit!"

The Sect Master Jieyin chuckled as he manipulated the Azure Lotus, clearly satisfied with his gains.

The Seven Treasures Tree of the Zhunti Master once again struck the Wood Dragon King's body, smashing it into wood chips and flesh.

Bright halos and azure light appeared behind the two leaders from time to time. The immense spiritual power brought about a variety of ways to control Yao Treasure to kill with a single blow, while the two leaders could control various Law Treasure when they reached out, each of Law Treasure possessed great power.

This situation caused the Mysterious Maiden, who was standing to the side of the Eight Views Carriage, to have an extremely grave expression. While wielding her sword to kill the approaching demons, she also looked into the carriage.

"Two of the Five Lakes Kings are gone; their defeat is inevitable," Donghua said. "Once they lose their control, the gate to the secret realm can be easily opened!"

"What should Your Majesty do next to capture Zhu Jiuyin?"

"Although we don't know exactly what happened to Zhu Jiuyin, there is indeed an opportunity now. We can find out by opening the door and examining his physical body!"

Donghua remained calm and composed, as if he were already aware of the situation and confident of victory.

He reached out and took out a large banner, and then took out some incense.

As the incense was lit, countless souls on the banner began to wail and roar, revealing distorted and eerie faces.

Among the many living souls, the figure of 'Bai' emerged.

Like many other living souls, 'White' appeared numb, empty, and insane, accompanied by the roars of the other living souls.

"This dead soul is immortal and indestructible; the Spirit Gathering Banner cannot bind it," the Empress said.

"Why restrain it?" Donghua laughed, "As long as it can help a little, that's fine!"

The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, and neither the Emperor nor the Empress understood what Donghua intended to do.

She frowned, but ultimately fell silent because the matter involved the elixir of immortality.
