In the face of Wu Ruyang's change of tactics, Mi Zhenren condensed the Blade Qi in his palm and did not release it. He only glanced at Tao Zhenren with a questioning look.
Tao Zhenren said calmly, "You don't have to worry about it, fellow Daoist. Break the Qi in the sky with all your might. Leave this to me."
Mi Zhenren knew that he would never speak without confidence. After hearing this, he turned his head and looked at the sky.
She had already realized that this Frost Qi was most likely prepared by Wu Ruyang in advance, or simply driven by an instrument. Otherwise, it would not have such power. If she could not break it in one strike, then it would be useless no matter how many times she attacked. However, this required time to adjust her mana and prepare properly. She could not afford to be distracted during this period of time, and could only rely on the protection of the fellow Daoist beside her.
With a thought, Tao Zhenren ordered the two red-crowned cranes released earlier to charge at the opponent. Then, he quickly took out a copper bowl with the eyes of a beast and pushed it forward. The bowl leaned forward slightly, and immediately, clouds flew out and formed a thick cloud wall. The rainbow of Qi crashed into it. Although a lot of the clouds were shaved off, there was a steady stream of clouds coming from behind to replenish the damage. It was difficult to move forward for a while.
Tao Zhenhong seemed to have expected this. Without looking at the result, he quickly took out another scroll and unfolded it.
This precious instrument was called the Nanhua Source Diagram of Walking Beasts. Together with the Nanhua Master Spirit Bird Chart, they were the best precious instruments of the Nanhua Sect.
There were thousands of spirit essences of walking beasts collected by Daoist Master Crane's lineage. If used properly, they would be extremely powerful. There were even several spirit essences of strange beasts that were no less powerful than Daoist Master Heavenly Abode. However, without the Sect Leader's seal, they could only be used as offerings.
Similarly, this treasure was taken back. Without the secret incantation passed down by Daoist Master Crane, the door could not be opened.
After the scroll was unfolded, the appearance of strange beasts and strange species appeared. On the list, there were Sky Demon, Strange Hou, Earth Barbarian, Fangjian, and Legless.
The Sky Yao tier was completely blank, not a single one to be seen. The next tier of mutants, however, had three strange-looking mutants.
Right now, he could only control one or two of them, and he could only maintain it for a mere moment. However, he didn't need him to fight with Daoren Wu. He only needed him to share some of the pressure.
That was why he only gave it a look, and then leapt over. His gaze landed on Earth Barbarian's first rank, and then with a swipe of his hand, over a hundred types of vicious beasts immediately appeared. With a push of his hand, two-headed White Flood Dragons immediately flew out one after another. Their bodies were incredibly long, only circling about once. He rushed towards Wu Ruyang's location.
In just a short period of time, the cloud wall in front of them had also been penetrated by the Qi rainbow. Under the continuous impact, it began to melt like ice.
Tao Zhenhong didn't put away the Beast Eye Copper Bowl. He circulated his magic power and activated it. The jade body trembled slightly and the number of clouds it spat out increased.
Wu Ruyang suddenly saw a White Flood Dragon Soul Essence rushing towards him. He said mockingly, "Didn't you, Tao Zhenhong, establish a sect overseas? Why are you using the Southern Flower Sect's moves again?"
Tao Zhenren replied with a serious voice, "As a disciple, how could I dare to let go of what my teacher taught me?"
Wu Ruyang couldn't retort, so he snorted. He flicked out a streak of astral lightning, forcing the two-headed flood dragon to dodge to the side. Taking advantage of this gap, he calmly took out a spell. The lightning behind him vibrated, scattering out like broken stars, forcing the dragon to dodge to the left and right again. Even though it roared angrily, it was still unable to come over.
At this time, his eyes glared at him, and a thunderous light appeared in his eyes. He released a "Little Astral Yang Fire". This divine ability had the ability to restrain this kind of soul transformation and evil things like the devil head. The timing he grasped was just when the White Flood Dragon had no time to dodge. The light hit its body.
With this attack, the White Flood Dragon's body was set ablaze. It howled in pain and instantly turned into a cloud of smoke. A small crystal pearl flew out from it and flew back.
This was where the essence of the Flood Dragon's Soul Essence lay. If it returned, it could be nourished by the External Qi Core Jade, and it could be restored. However, if it was destroyed in the outside world, it would completely disappear from the world, leaving no trace behind.
Wu Ruyang looked like he wasn't willing to let it go. He flicked his finger. A five-colored jade stone chased after it. The small bead passed through the cloud wall without any obstruction. The jade stone chased after it, but it wasn't any stronger. Instead, with a roll, it exploded with a loud bang, causing the barrier to collapse for half a day.
Tao Zhenhong didn't think that the White Flood Dragon could do anything to Daoren, but he still needed time to summon an extremely special Spirit Beast Soul Essence.
This thing was the dying Abyss Toad that Zhang Yan had sent over. He had already taken out its soul and blood energy and refined it into a Spirit Essence.
However, this method required the other party's permission. If it was the Abyss Toad at its peak, he definitely wouldn't be able to recruit it. If he used methods to forcefully extract it, he would often lose a large portion of his soul and blood energy, and he might not be able to successfully refine it.
Coincidentally, its death was near, so he communicated with it and obtained its permission to enter the atlas.
However, he hadn't refined it for long, so he only hoped that the Two Headed Flood Dragon could delay it for a while. He didn't think that not only would it be of no use, but the other party would take advantage of his unguarded moment to break through the cloud wall barrier.
This meant that although the other party couldn't see him Just Now because of the cloud wall, they could guess what he was brewing, which was why they dared to do so. Not mentioning anything else, just the method of seizing the opportunity and the accurate judgment of the battle situation was really praiseworthy.
He had no choice but to stop what he was doing and release a Green Flood Dragon to restrain it. At the same time, he once again activated the Beast Eye Copper Bowl, and the cloud qi condensed again.
Wu Ruyang didn't stop them. Instead, he swept his eyes to the left and right, clearly seeing the two's current situation. With his experience, he was able to guess their thoughts and objectives in an instant. He chuckled and calmly raised his eyes to meet the green flood dragon. His eyes flashed with brilliance again.
However, this time the Little Yang Fire didn't have any effect, and the fire extinguished as soon as it appeared.
He made a sound of surprise and looked carefully, only then did he understand. He thought, "So the Spirit Essence is wrapped in the Flood Dragon's skin, and there are outer scales covering it. No wonder my Little Yang Fire can't break it. This kind of method is rare, and in the past, only Taoist He could use it. This Tao Zhenhong really has inherited his mantle."
He wasn't in a hurry to get rid of it. Instead, he stretched out his hand, and a vast astral wind appeared, pushing it to the side. He then pointed again, and dozens of short scarlet lights flew out. He continued to strike the cloud wall, creating another hole in it.
He glanced to the side and saw that Mi Zhenren's mana had been accumulated to the limit, as if she was about to break the air curtain that covered the sky. He noticed this, and with a point of his hand, a small stone passed through the hole in the wall, as if he wanted to suppress her.
Tao Zhenren immediately noticed this, so how could he let him succeed? With a call, the Green Flood Dragon turned into a rainbow, and blocked in front of him. Who knew that at this moment, a small needle light appeared above Wu Ruyang's head, and with a flash, it shot towards him.
"Mysterious Golden Thorn?"
He was shocked, and knew that this thing could change its form while flying. He hurriedly used a spell to defend himself, but with this movement, he was restrained. As a result, his Dao technique was interrupted, and the Abyss Toad's Spirit Essence was not successfully summoned. If he wanted to summon it again, he would have to start all over again, and it could be said that all his previous efforts were wasted.
Wu Ruyang smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab at the sky. The frost in the sky suddenly took the initiative to disperse, like cotton flying in the sky.
As for Mi Zhenren, she was about to slash, but seeing this scene, she paused, not knowing whether she should release the blade aura or attack Wu Ruyang. Or should she turn and attack Wu Ruyang? The former might not be effective, but the latter would break through the cloud wall first. With this moment of hesitation, her magic power counterattacked her body. Her face couldn't help but turn pale. She snorted and forcefully waved her palm upwards.
There was a loud rumble. Two shocking blade auras broke through the atmosphere, tearing the green jade, and piercing through the Nine Heavens. However, only a small portion of the dispersed frost was cut, and most of it was still there. After dodging the blade auras, it seemed to have the momentum to gather in the center.
Tao Zhenren took a deep breath. This Wu Ruyang only used a few simple moves to break through their techniques. This showed that he had extraordinary insight and Daoren's technique.
This old Daoist was not as aggressive as an ordinary cultivator, nor did he try to gain the upper hand in every aspect. Instead, he was neither too fast nor too slow, but with every step he took, he would definitely be able to steadily restrain their methods.
He deeply understood that it was indeed difficult for the two of them to deal with this person head-on. Since they could not win in terms of mana and transformations, they could only use another method.
He called out to Mi Zhenren, "Fellow Daoist Mi, follow the previous plan."
The latter understood, and before the sky curtain recovered, he kept his dharma, turned into a clear light, and flew out.
Tao Zhenhong also released a few spirit essences, kept his dharma, and flew out.
Wu Ruyang was about to chase after him, but he felt that something was wrong. He thought, Could it be that they want to lure me away, let the disciples come out from the small world, and then escape separately?
After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a possibility. If it succeeded, then the two of them would no longer be bound.
So he shook his body and created a clone that was condensed from his heart's blood, and guarded the door. That way, if something went wrong, he could immediately kill his way in and kill all the disciples in the room.
As for himself, he rose into a conveyance light and chased after them.
At the same time, in the South Sea, the brilliance of three true treasures hovered above the sea, causing Li Xiumi to hide in the depths of the water. He did not dare to surface, let alone swim. Just Now, although he temporarily avoided these true treasures with the help of the sea serpent, he was sure that if he revealed a trace of Qi, it would lead to him being attacked.
Suddenly, in the sky, a light came from the north, and stood on the top of the sky. It was a large stone, and countless flying cliffs flew out from it, densely covering the sky. The three true treasures were immediately covered.
When Li Xiumi saw it, how could he not know that someone was helping him escape? He did not forget to cup his hands at the sky, and then he rose into the conveyance light and escaped to the north as fast as he could.
After Tao and Mi retreated, they did not go far. Relying on their speed, they only went around for tens of thousands of miles, but they were not willing to turn back to fight with Wu Ruyang.
Wu Ruyang chased after them, and he couldn't help but think, Are they using the delaying technique to consume my mana and force me to retreat? No, they should know my determination to come here. It is not for this, but to wait for Li Xiumi to rush back and meet up with them, then the three of them will join forces to fight me.
He laughed and stopped. He shook his hand and threw out a silver hoop to chase after the two. This was the Qi Gazing Hoop, as long as it covered the top of his head, no matter where he went, he would be able to find it. Later, with the Space Crossing Hoop, he would be able to catch up again, and there was no need to rush from behind.
Tao and Mi saw that he was like this, and they actually split up and went in different directions.
Wu Ruyang snorted coldly, and said, "You dare to use such tricks in front of me?"
Without hesitation, he pointed his finger, and a golden thorn chased after Mi Zhenren, while he himself controlled the Qi Gazing Hoop to follow Tao Zhenhong.
This chase lasted for more than two hours.
Wu Ruyang relied on the Space Crossing Hoop, and finally caught up to Tao Zhenhong. However, just as he was about to attack, the latter summoned the Dragon Palace and hid inside.
He couldn't open the Dragon Palace's restriction, so he could only use the Space Crossing Hoop to find Mi Zhenren. However, the Dragon Palace also teleported over and took Mi Zhenren in.
Wu Ruyang laughed angrily, and said, "You two can hide here, I will kill my way into the small world and slaughter your disciples. Let's see how long you can hide!"
As he said that, he urged the clone he left at the entrance of the small world to kill inside. However, what surprised him was that in just a moment, the clone's connection with him was cut off. He couldn't help but be shocked. His clone was not something that cultivators under the grotto-heaven realm could fight against. That Li Xiumi hasn't arrived yet, so how could he be eliminated?
Then, he immediately thought that it was very likely that Tao and Mi Zhenren had left behind a backup plan. No wonder they dared to ignore him.
He snorted, summoned the Space Crossing Hoop, and then took a step inside. This time, he decided to go in person, and he didn't believe that the two could sit and watch from the outside.
When he came out again, he was already in front of the small world. He jumped down and entered the small world. He closed his eyes and sensed, and then he was shocked, and said, "How is this possible?"
There were not many cultivators in this small world, only a few children with shallow cultivation, and they were all monsters in human form, so they were almost negligible.
He felt that it was very strange. Although the grotto-heaven cultivators could help their disciples to enter the grotto-heaven from the small world, it would take at least one or two days to circulate the technique, not to mention that it would take even more time to put it away. It was impossible to do this in just a short hundred breaths.
Unless there was no disciple in this small world, then where did they go?
In fact, this was already planned by Tao Zhenren. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and he was cautious by nature, so why would he put the disciples of three sects in one place?
The disciples of Clear Feather Sect were hiding in his divine abode, and the disciples of Yan Zhongguan were mostly demon cultivators of the water race, so they didn't like small worlds, so they cultivated under the sea or on various islands.
As for the disciples under Mi Zhenren, the Chongyue True Temple was originally a big sect in the Eastern Sea. Previously, they expressed their determination to the Qincang School, so they went to the Southern Sea together. Since they returned here, they naturally returned to their original sect.
So, this was just a trap that was set up from the beginning.
Wu Ruyang also realized that something was wrong at this time, so he hurried out of the door, wanting to get out before Tao Zhenhong and Mi Zhenren returned.
But Just Now, when he reached the border, he saw a flood dragon's tail slapping towards him. If it was a divine art, he wouldn't be afraid, but this was purely physical strength, and he couldn't control it in a hurry, so he could only block it. With a rumble, he was forced back again, and he instantly shouted in anger, "Li Xiumi!"
