Just Now, when Ji Daoren used the Jieyang Six Turns Arrow, Zhang Yan was already on his guard. Even under the threat of the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud, Zhang Yan still tried to use this skill. Needless to say, Zhang Yan could guess that this attack must contain great power.
When dealing with supernatural powers, if a cultivator felt that he could not block it, he could choose an opportunity to escape. When his spiritual vigor was exhausted, he would be able to resolve it.
Zhang Yan had the Five Elements Escape Skill and the Sword Escape Skill, so he could escape far away. However, this had its drawbacks. If there was no one controlling the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Cloud, it would give Ji Daoren a chance to escape. However, before he understood the details, he did not want to take it head-on.
Just when he was about to fly away with his sword, something in between his brows seemed to have sensed it. It jumped gently and at the same time, a clear sound lingered in his ears.
Zhang Yan and that thing had the same mind and spirit. With a slight identification, he knew what was going on. With a quick thought, he simply stopped and stood still.
The white light flew over like a meteor. The Heaven and Earth Leaf could not stop it at all. It passed through the white light without any hindrance and headed straight for between Zhang Yan's brows!
Just as the arrow was about to hit its target, a smooth and flawless jade scroll leaped out from his High Cloud and blocked its path. The two of them collided in a split second and a crisp sound was heard, as if a porcelain bead had cracked. The Jieyang Arrow seemed to have hit an iron wall as it shattered into hundreds of spiritual lights that danced in the air. Not long after, it dissipated into nothingness.
The jade scroll suddenly spun and made a clear sound. It was then carried back into the High Cloud by a ball of auspicious light.
Zhang Yan broke this technique and once again freed his hands. With a wave of his sleeve, the sky was instantly filled with purple clouds like a tide, and lightning gathered intensely. Lightning gathered and released a thousand feet of flame.
Below, Ji Daoren saw that the Six Turns Arrow did not hurt his opponent and was already panicking. Looking at the loud sound in the sky, he could not help but change his expression.
Just Now, he had relied on the Death Substitution Talisman to avoid the thousands of lightning bolts. Now that he was struck again, there was no way he could survive.
He reached into his bag and took out a Jade Talisman. He first held it tightly in his palm, then gently rubbed it. However, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
This was one of the treasures of his sect. It was known as the "Chengyang Talisman". It was obtained from the Spirit Returning Sect's treasury by the founder of the sect. After hundreds of years of refinement, it was Just Now used for its own use. Later on, the name of the sect. It was also because of this item.
This treasure contained the legacy of the predecessors. Secret anecdotes, the various cultivation methods and Dao formulas of the sect, as well as the experiences of past seniors. Another benefit is that if the disciples of our sect hold this treasure in their hands, they can borrow it to avoid a calamity in a life or death situation.
However, this treasure had a spirit. Once a Fu Yang disciple used a life-saving technique, he would think that their fate had ended and would choose another master.
After Ji Daoren obtained this treasure, he kept it a secret. He wanted to use it to create a grotto-heaven. If he used it now, it would be the same as cutting off his path of cultivation.
However, if he could not protect his life, what was the use of keeping this treasure?
He made up his mind and channeled his mana into the Chengyang Talisman. The talisman trembled and a lady in green came out. She was beautiful and had long hair that reached her waist. She was delicate and charming. She looked at him and said softly, "Ji Gaozhang, our fate ends here."
Ji Daoren's body trembled. The reluctance in his eyes became stronger.
As soon as the lady finished speaking, she turned her slender waist and turned into a ray of light that wrapped around him. In the blink of an eye, she broke through the lightning net and rushed to the Jiutian Realm.
After a dozen miles, Ji Daoren suddenly felt his body lighten. The Jade Talisman circled around him once and left him. It turned into a ray of light and flew to the northwest.
He clenched his fists and looked at the direction where the Jade Talisman left. He thought to himself, "On the day the sect was breached, most of the senior and junior brothers died. There were not many disciples of Fu Yang Sect left. Even if there were some who escaped, they were mostly juniors. Even if I take this treasure, how can I rebuild the sect?"
He immediately made up his mind. As long as he could preserve his life today, he would go to that place to search. If there was a chance, he would kill those juniors. By then, he would be the only disciple of Fu Yang Sect left. He might even be able to return the treasure.
However, this was only a temporary thought. He knew that he was not out of danger yet. Zhang Yan could catch up at any time. Hence, he made a hand sign and activated the Return to Source and Unification of Truth Technique. He turned into a ray of light smoke and flew to the south.
Zhang Yan saw that Ji Daoren could actually break through the air and escape. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Since this person had colluded with Hui Xuan and came to kill him, there was already enmity between them. There was no way to resolve it. If he did not find a way to get rid of him, there would be hidden dangers in the future. Although he was not afraid, the disciples of the sect would be implicated. Hence, he could not allow him to escape!
He shrugged and also flew to the Jiutian Realm. He was about to risk using the Devil Trove to chase after him. However, when he looked over, he was slightly surprised.
Although the other party had activated the Return to Source, he had not gone far. He was only slightly faster than his Sword Escape. He was not as fast as he had thought. Compared to Feng Hai Yang of the Netherworld Spring Sect, it was obviously not as fast.
After thinking about it again, he could not help but laugh. Previously, he had been prejudiced. The Return to Source and Unification of Truth Technique also had high and low levels. Due to the different techniques of the sects, many cultivators of the third grade of Yuanying might not use this technique.
Zhang Yan squinted his eyes. Other than the Sword Escape Technique, he also had the Five Elements Escape Technique. If he chased with all his strength, he might be able to take him down.
Moreover, the Return to Source consumed a lot of Essence Qi. It was very likely that the real body was not far from here. If he chased after him now, he could cut the weeds at the roots and eliminate all future troubles!
After he made up his mind, he let out a clear shout and rode on a clear light to chase after them.
Ji Daoren was focused on escaping and did not notice that Zhang Yan was chasing after him. However, once the Return to Source and Unification of Truth Technique was activated, it would not be possible for him to retreat halfway. Even if he noticed it, there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Yan chased after him and flew to the south. After half a day, the ray of spiritual light in front of him suddenly stopped. It turned around, broke through the clouds, and flew to the surface of the earth. In a flash, it disappeared into a deserted, grassy valley.
He spread his sleeves and parted the High Cloud, looking down. This valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides. The cliffs were steep and there were many scattered rocks in the grass.
These stones were not placed randomly. Instead, they were arranged in a formation. However, the person who set up the formation was very careful and knew to cover it with grass and trees to avoid attracting attention. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to tell.
Zhang Yan nodded. It seemed that this was where the body of the person was hiding. He circled around the valley and found many hidden ravines. If he attacked the formation from the front, it was very likely that the person would escape underground. He needed to think of a way to guard against it.
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pointed. A yellow light fell down and drew a circle around the valley. In an instant, the earth was gathered into steel, turning this place into a dangerous place.
After doing this, he made sure that there were no mistakes. He then threw the Five Spirits White Carp Shuttle into the sky and attacked the formation.
Ji Daoren returned to his body. His face was full of exhaustion. Not only did he not get back the Dragon Pearl in this battle, he even lost his talisman to protect himself. He was also very distressed, especially the Chengyang Talisman. It was as if it was cutting a piece of his heart. He took a few deep breaths and pulled his hair out of his bun. Letting his hair fall down, he swore, "I, Ji Gaozhang, swear that I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"
Just as he was swearing, he suddenly heard a rumble from outside. It seemed that someone was attacking the formation door. His heart tightened and he rushed out to take a look. When he saw the figure in the sky, he was instantly shocked and afraid. His body could not help but tremble.
He never thought that Zhang Yan would not let him go. Instead, he chased him all the way here. Just Now, the words of swearing seemed to have become a joke.
At this moment, his vitality was greatly injured. If the formation was broken, it was easy to imagine what would happen.
After his expression changed a few times, he felt that he could not wait for death here. He hurriedly took out a few talismans from his sleeves and placed them at the four corners of the formation. This was not to stop the enemy, but to buy him some time.
After doing this, he walked into the tunnel that he had prepared in advance. There were a few secret exits that he had left behind before he set up the formation. He could bypass the formation and go straight to the side of the mountain world, where he could escape without anyone noticing.
After entering the pit, he kept moving forward. However, when he reached the end, his hands and feet were cold. He did not know how the path to the top of the pit had been changed. The soil around him had become as hard as iron. If he wanted to force his way through, he would definitely cause a great commotion.
If it was someone else, it would be fine. However, he knew that the opponent in the sky was skilled in escaping. If he did so, even if he could escape, he would be caught sooner or later.
This path was blocked, but he refused to give up. He went to other places to check. However, no matter where he went, it was the same. There was no loophole for him. He could not help but sit down dejectedly. At this moment, there was no road to heaven and no door to hell. He finally understood Hui Xuan's feelings at that time.
Listening to the sounds of the battle outside, Ji Daoren's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly stood up and said hatefully, "It's just a fight to the death."
He took out the ancestral tablet from his sleeves and placed it on the ground. He then took out the Taoist book that he carried with him and placed it at a corner. He respectfully kowtowed three times and sighed, "Ancestral Master, please forgive me for my incompetence. I can't rebuild the mountain gate."
After saying that, he took out a Jade Annulus and placed it on his chest. This item could hide his Primordial Spirit. He was prepared to abandon his physical body if he had no other choice. His Dharmakaya could hide in the Jade Annulus and see if there was a chance to reincarnate.
At this moment, the sounds outside were getting louder. It was obvious that the formation was going to be broken soon. He just stood there blankly and did not go forward to stop it.
After an unknown period of time, there was a loud noise that sounded like a landslide. There was also a violent tremor under his feet. He then felt a spiritual vigor coming towards his hiding place at an extremely fast speed.
Ji Daoren finally moved. He roared and suddenly knocked away the soil on top of him. He rushed up to the horizon and fled to the west.
However, he had not gone more than ten miles when he heard the sound of a sword behind him. It was as if there was a cold air coming from the side of his neck. In shock, he hurriedly dodged to the side. A cold light swept past. Half of his face and one of his ears were already cut off.
He did not dare to turn back. He endured the pain and covered his bloody cheek. He tried to escape with all his might. However, it was all in vain. Suddenly, there were dozens of sword gleams flying over and scattered around his body. They paused for a moment and then gathered in the middle. In a split second, he was cut into dozens of pieces and turned into a rain of blood.
