Dark clouds covered the Chain Mountains, drenching the verdant mountains.
Misty clouds floated between the mountains, fluctuating with the wind and rain.
Rainwater flowed down from the stone slab carved with the words "Qing Xiao's Home".
Behind the heavy stone door was a large empty space. White flames burned up from below, like an inverted waterfall of flames.
Unlike regular flames, they were silent and soundless, nor did they feel any heat. Instead, they carried an indescribably bone-chilling coldness.
Twenty skulls tossed about in the flames. They opened their mouths, and their teeth chattered loudly. It was like a soul-calming song from hell, or like countless monks chanting buddhist scriptures.
It was both evil and holy, bizarre and grand.
The source of these flames was Little Ann. Her seaweed-like long hair rippled like flames, as if the flames and the skulls came from her mind.
Little Ann formed a seal with her hands and chanted a scripture. At first glance, she looked like an old monk sitting in meditation. However, the seal was not a buddhist seal, and the scripture was not a buddhist scripture.
She suddenly pointed her finger at the sky, and the thousand zhang long flame disappeared. The skulls formed a circle and rotated above her head. She opened her mouth and spat out a white prayer bead. The prayer bead rotated and turned into a huge skull. It was pure white and sparkling, and it shone with a bright flame.
The other twenty prayer beads shone with light as well, becoming even more powerful.
Little Ann waved her hand again, and the twenty-one skulls turned into twenty-one prayer beads. They returned to her wrist and formed a string.
She had finally taken another step forward with the white bone demonic artifact, the Skull Prayer Beads, and completely stabilized the first layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. Her cultivation advanced further.
The twenty-one prayer beads represented the ten lands, ten paramitas, and buddhahood in Buddhism. In her hands, they held a completely different meaning. Those who were not well-versed in Buddhism would not be able to comprehend them.
From its appearance, it looked like a string of prayer beads. It glowed with buddhist light and was open and aboveboard. It was a proper buddhist artifact.
She casually plucked one of the prayer beads. It could withstand the might of an arcane artifact. The power of any one of these Skeleton Demons could kill a regular Foundation Establishment cultivator. And under the control of her mind. These twenty-one Skeleton Devils fought side by side, their hearts connected with each other, and their might was even more astonishing.
It could be said that she alone was equivalent to an army of cultivators, enough to influence the division of power in the Clear River prefecture.
When Little Ann thought of Li Qingshan, he felt slightly uneasy. He immediately took out the Bamboo-Jade Lot of the Cloud Booklet and used the [Cloud Booklet Seven Lots] to perform divination.
It didn't take long for the results to come out. Her expression changed slightly.
The divination showed that Li Qingshan was in danger. He was almost surrounded by killing intent and was in a desperate situation.
Little Ann immediately leaped up, but heard curses coming from outside.
"Li Qingshan. Get out, I know you're in there! "
Chu Tian executed the Palm of Five Elements and slammed it at the door of the cave. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the Spiritual Qi of the five elements grew and multiplied endlessly.
At first. The hand that flickered with five-coloured light was only a few feet across. It constantly drew in the spiritual qi of the world and grew to several meters in the blink of an eye, slamming against the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks viciously. It produced a great rumble that echoed through the mountains.
The Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks obviously could not be destroyed so easily. However, from the disturbance, the person inside probably could not remain in peace any longer.
As expected, a moment later, the entrance of the cave opened with a loud bang.
A slender figure emerged. Little Ann glanced around, sweeping past the cloud-shrouded mountains and landing on Chu Tian. He stowed the white bone sword away in his sleeve. He had decided to kill this person first.
Chu Tian's head buzzed, and he directly became dumbfounded. So beautiful. It was a beauty he could not describe. He had always been a playboy, showing affection everywhere he went, but this was the first woman he had fallen in love with at first sight. If he could obtain her, he was willing to pay any price.
Little Ann never liked to waste her breath. Since he had made up his mind, he would carry it out immediately.
But at this moment, a few streaks of light flew over from the horizon.
"Chu Tian, don't be impulsive!" Liu Changqing shouted.
This shout finally brought Chu Tian back to his senses. He cupped his hands and said, "I am Chu Tian. May I ask for your name? If I have disturbed you in any way, please forgive me!"
Little Ann did not say a word. She was considering whether she could kill all these people before rushing over to help Li Qingshan. No matter where she went now, it would be difficult to get rid of this group of people and increase their suspicions.
There might be many acquaintances of Li Qingshan among them, but to her, everything was for Li Qingshan. Even if she would be scolded by him afterwards, she would not hesitate.
"Little Ann, where is Qingshan?" Liu Changqing saw that she was the one who came to deal with them, but Li Qingshan was nowhere to be seen. She could not help but feel that it was strange. With Li Qingshan's personality, he would definitely accept any provocation.
"Cultivation." Little Ann could not help but answer, so she spat out two words.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators had arrived. Basically everyone wanted to take a look at the competition between the geniuses of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Of course, there were some who were not interested, but they were just a small minority. Basically all of the core forces of the Hundred Schools of Thought of the Clear River prefecture had gathered here.
If he lured them into the dwelling and activated the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks, he would have a certain level of confidence in killing them all.
"What! You're Little Ann!?"
Chu Tian was taken aback. He obviously had a deep impression of this genius who surpassed him. However, he never thought the child from back then would actually become like this.
"Tell Li Qingshan to get his ass out here!" Chu Tian was driven mad with jealousy. His hatred towards Li Qingshan grew even greater. However, he had already made up his mind to viciously defeat and humiliate Li Qingshan and save Little Ann from his demonic clutches before taking good care of her.
Wasn't it only natural for two geniuses to marry?
Little Ann fell silent.
"Chu Tian, don't forget about the etiquette of confucianism. Little Ann, so many of us have come. Aren't you going to invite us in to sit down? "
Under the numerous gazes, Little Ann lowered his head and rubbed the Skull Prayer Beads on his wrist. He was prepared to do as Liu Changqing had said and invite them in.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "I can't."
"Why?" Liu Changqing was stunned.
"He's cultivating. He can't be disturbed," Little Ann said emotionlessly. He glanced at the horizon from the corner of his eye. There was someone watching from above, even more powerful than Foundation Establishment. They could not be killed.
"I think he's afraid! He knows he's not great master Chu Tian's opponent, so he's hiding like a coward. He sent you out to deal with him. He can't be disturbed. Hmph, I just want to disturb him. "
Chu Tian swung the Palm of the Five Elements and slammed it towards the mountain again.
"Chu Tian, don't do anything rash!" Liu Changqing said. If Li Qingshan was truly at a critical juncture in his cultivation, it would be bad if he was disturbed and went berserk. At this moment, a streak of golden light streaked past them.
Little Ann raised his right hand, but it was not a white bone sword that flew out. Instead, it was a vajra sword. With an arc of light, it forcibly cut through Chu Tian's Palm of the Five Elements.
Little Ann stepped forward. Golden light surged from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a vajra warrior that was several meters tall. He wielded a vajra sword and glared at Chu Tian furiously.
Little Ann did not put much effort into cultivating the Guardian King's Art of Demon Subdual. Compared to the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, it was like the difference between a primary school curriculum and a university curriculum. It was far easier to cultivate than the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots. It was just a matter of time.
Mind Enlightenment was also in the crowd. When he saw Little Ann execute the Guardian King's Avatar, he was shocked. He also cultivated this cultivation method. In the past, he had even sparred with Little Ann. In the end, he had to face the wall in meditation for three years before finally comprehending it.
He was confident that his comprehension of this cultivation method had already surpassed that of Little Ann, who had been distracted by other things. Now that he saw it, he understood the difference between them Just Now. The Guardian King's Avatar he executed was more like a statue in a temple. Although it also shone brightly, it seemed to be covered in a layer of golden lacquer. It was just an inanimate object.
Meanwhile, the eyes of Little Ann's Guardian King's Avatar were brimming with divine light. The ribbons floated slowly, and every crease on its skirt could be seen clearly, constantly rippling.
Its face was also filled with anger, but its expression was filled with subtle changes. Its muscular body was filled with power, as if it was a true Guardian King that had descended into the world.
"You … alright, I'll let you witness my power first!" Chu Tian was shocked, but his fighting spirit was also roused. He wanted to display the results of his cultivation, wanting to let Little Ann see that he was a genius comparable to you, and not trash like Li Qingshan!
At this moment, Little Ann took a step forward and stepped into the void.
The Guardian King's Avatar underwent another transformation. Its huge body gradually shrank. His muscular arms gradually became slender, and the distinct lines on his arms also became softer.
Its ferocious face slowly calmed down, turning into a gentle female appearance. Its appearance was somewhat similar to that of Little Ann. There was also a red mole between its brows, and it wore a golden crown on its head. It appeared peaceful and majestic, gorgeous and dignified.
"This …" Mind Enlightenment was dumbfounded. He had never heard that the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique could undergo such a transformation.
The Vajra Warriors were guardians that guarded the Buddha. They often wielded the Vajra Pestle, which was how they got their name. Legend had it that they were originally evil spirits that were subdued by the Buddha. They all had the appearance of ferocious-looking men. He had never heard of a Vajra that looked like this.
The Vajra leaped up, its ribbons fluttering.
Chu Tian did not dare to hold back. He struck out with his palm with all his might.
The Five Elements Palm filled his vision. The Vajra extended its slender arm and met Chu Tian's palm.
"Just Now, you're just playing tricks. How dare you fight me head-on? Don't blame me for hurting you."
As Chu Tian was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly felt an inconceivable power coming toward him. The Five Elements Palm was forcefully shattered.
Spiritual Qi scattered. The Vajra leaped out of the five-colored light, its right hand wielding the Vajra Sword as it slashed downward!
"Five Elements Protection!" Chu Tian shouted. He raised his hands to the sky, and the Five Elements condensed and circulated around his body.
The Vajra Sword did not have much sharpness. It slashed down calmly.
Blood splattered. The Vajra Sword directly broke through the Five Elements Protection and chopped off Chu Tian's right arm.
Chu Tian was frightened. He pulled back and retreated quickly. He wanted to say something, but a slender arm flashing with golden light wrapped around his neck. His skin cracked, and his flesh severed, reaching all the way to his neck bone. It wanted to forcefully snap his neck.
The outcome of the battle had changed far too quickly. No one had expected Chu Tian to be unable to even withstand a single strike from Little Ann, and Little Ann had actually struck out so viciously. Chu Tian was about to be beheaded, yet none of them could save him in time.
An old monk with white hair and beard in monk robes arrived before Little Ann in a single step. His eyes were filled with praise.
"You truly are a fine disciple. One Will, I've come to take you back to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga!"
