This shocking scene caused those who were not wearing their masks to reveal astonished expressions.
"You … why!" Ao Xu was even more incredulous as he vomited blood.
"Divine Turtle Island's Primordial Tortoise Shell is truly extraordinary. You can still speak after receiving my palm strike!" While Zen Master Bao Xiang was praising, he raised his Nine Rings Staff. The staff fell from the sky and smashed down with the force of a thousand catties, intending to end Ao Xu's life.
"Shameless!" With a burst of fragrant wind, Angel Ling Xin, who was the closest, had already flashed in front of Ao Xu. She raised her hand to block the incoming Nine Rings Staff.
Although she could not completely understand the cause and effect, she could see that Zen Master Bao Xiang launched a sneak attack first and then ruthlessly took Ao Xu's life. How could Angel Ling Xin tolerate such a person who had a snake's heart and a Buddha's mouth? While blocking the attack, she used the Sky Bell Divine Art to borrow the force to counter the attack.
"Clang!" Accompanied by a bell-like sound, the Nine Rings Staff shot out. Under the superposition of the two forces, the Nine Rings Staff carried a heavy wind pressure as it counterattacked Zen Master Bao Xiang.
Zen Master Bao Xiang did not dare to be careless. He raised his palm to block the attack while his body took a step back, dissipating the remaining force.
"This woman's skill is profound, and she seems to be using Buddha's true qi …" Zen Master Bao Xiang's palm went numb as he guessed the possible identity of the opponent. Princess Linglong's words interrupted his thoughts. "I thought it was you and Ao Xu who conspired together. Looking at the situation now, it was you, Bao Xiang, who did it alone. Ao Xu was kept in the dark and you used him as a tool!"
Zen Master Bao Xiang had no intention to pursue Angel Ling Xin's identity. He put his palms together and said, "Princess, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I'm helping you to keep Island Master Ao here so that both sides can explain clearly. This will also avoid unnecessary conflict between the Crystal Palace and the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. "
Zen Master Baoxiang's tone was full of pity, as if he was not the one who launched the sneak attack. Princess Linglong was disgusted by his words. She slammed the table and said angrily, "It was you who replaced the beans and salt with the honey locust seeds and saltpeter and sent them into the ship. If I hadn't discovered it in time, the Crystal Palace would have suffered a great calamity. How dare you speak of such mercy after committing such an evil deed!"
Zen Master Bao Xiang said, "Princess, you have to make it clear. Both the honey locust seed and saltpeter are non-toxic substances. Even if they were to be consumed, it would not be a big deal. How could we let the Crystal Palace suffer such a calamity?"
"The honey locust seeds and saltpeter are both non-toxic, and your purpose is not to poison me. However, do you think that I have never heard of the Sulphuric Fire Suppression Technique? With the Honey Locust Seed and saltpeter, as well as the addition of sulfur, it would become a 'Black Thunder Fire' that would explode upon contact with fire! Once it exploded, the entire ship and all the demons on board would be blown to smithereens! If it were to be detonated in the Crystal Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable. What else do you have to say, bald donkey? "Towards the end of her speech, Princess Linglong's expression and voice were extremely stern.
"Black Thunder Fire? I see. However, is it really that powerful … "This was the first time Fairy Ling Xin had heard of the Black Thunder Fire. She could vaguely imagine the power of the Black Thunder Fire from Princess Linglong's expression. She then looked at Zen Master Bao Xiang, only to see him laughing heartily." So the demons are quite knowledgeable. They even know about the Sulphuric Fire Suppression Technique! Then this old monk only has one last thing to say! "
"My fellow Daoists, the matter has been leaked. We have to act earlier!" Zen Master Bao Xiang was surrounded, but he did not panic. He spoke confidently to the six masked men sitting cross-legged.
"They are all Zen Master Bao Xiang's accomplices?" Fairy Ling Xin came to a sudden realization. "No wonder there are so many competitors at the treasure sale. They are all trying to use the treasure sale as an opportunity to sneak onto the ship!"
However …
The six of them sat cross-legged and did not move.
"What are you waiting for? I said that I will help you transport the items onto the ship, and you will help me get rid of Wang Nianzhi, Ao Xu, and Mister Dodge! " With Mr. Dodge! "Zen Master Bao Xiang panicked when he saw that they were not moving.
However, he heard the sphinx-faced man say coldly, "Even such a small matter will be leaked. If she finds out, you still want to give orders? You want to order us to wait? "
The sphinx-faced man's cold words made Zen Master Bao Xiang's face turn pale. However, the sphinx-faced man stood up again. "But now that things have come to this, someone has to clean up this mess."
The sphinx-faced man stood up and waved his sleeves, releasing a thick murderous aura. "Attack! Except for Princess Linglong, leave no one alive! "
Unlike Zen Master Bao Xiang, when the sphinx-faced man gave the order, the other five masked men, along with one of their attendants, attacked at the same time.
"Are all these shameful things jumping out? Everyone, capture them! " Princess Linglong had been waiting for them to jump out. At this moment, it was clear who the enemy was and who they were, which was exactly what she wanted. As she waved her hand and gave the order, the demon army charged forward!
On the ship, in the banquet hall, a chaotic battle broke out!
Just as Princess Linglong finished speaking, she suddenly felt her vision darken. She saw a figure appear in front of her out of thin air. A powerful palm with a domineering aura pressed towards her. It was the sphinx-faced man who had come to capture the king!
"So fast!" Seeing the sphinx-faced man's vicious attack, although Princess Linglong was prepared, the opponent's movement technique was faster than she expected. She hurriedly condensed water vapor into a shield to block the attack.
However, the moment the arcane power and the palm came into contact, she realized that the opponent was not only fast, but also powerful. The hastily formed water vapor wall could not withstand the powerful palm and shattered in one hit.
"There is no such expert in the Eastern Sea!" While Princess Linglong was shocked, she was pushed back by the force. However, she could vaguely feel that even though the sphinx-faced man's movements showed the aura of an expert, he had not used his full strength.
Time did not allow her to think. The sphinx-faced man's second palm came, and it was even more powerful. Princess Linglong tried to block it again, but she heard a sharp sword chime coming from behind. Wang Nian and his sword were as one, flying from the side and stabbing towards the sphinx-faced man's palm.
The sword and palm collided, but the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Heavy shockwaves exploded.
"Princess Linglong, leave him to me!" Wang Nianzhi had already clashed with the lion-masked man before the auction started. Now that they were engaged in a chaotic battle, she naturally wanted to settle old and new grudges with him. She glared at the lion-masked man fiercely and said, "I remember everything you told me earlier!"
"Are you talking about how you were a frog in a well? Then you should remember it. It will be enough to benefit you greatly! "the sphinx-faced man said coldly.
"Unfortunately, I will return those words to you today and stuff them back into your mouth!" Wang Nianzhi gritted his teeth and instantly executed the Sly Firefly Seven Transformations. Each move was strange and swift, displaying a rebellious sword intent. It instantly enveloped the sphinx-faced man.
"Looks like you still didn't listen!" The sphinx-faced man sighed. Then, he surged his palm energy and blocked the sword attacks from all directions. As he blocked the attacks, he said, "I can't use it here. How about changing to a more spacious place?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Wang Nianzhi agreed. The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. Their swords and palms continued to exchange blows. Their forces were still unstoppable, but their figures were rising higher and higher until a large hole was created in the cabin's roof.
"Old Wang, be careful!" Princess Linglong and Wang Nianzhi were friends, so she reminded him loudly. The Honorable Swordsman of Eastern Sea's strength was extraordinary. Other than the new Mister Dodge, there were few Eastern Sea cultivators who could compete with him. Even she had to admit that she was inferior to Wang Nianzhi. However, as the two of them flew higher and higher, until they were above the clouds, Princess Linglong felt uneasy.
"That old man is dead meat. Take care of yourself!" As soon as he said that, two enemies wearing the Green Bull and White Tiger masks replaced the sphinx-faced man and attacked Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong quickly calmed herself down and used her water to fight the enemies. However, she realized that although the two of them did not have the frightening pressure of the sphinx-faced man, they were still extraordinary masters. She could only defend herself under the pincer attack.
"Oh no, I underestimated them! Where did these people come from? " Princess Linglong secretly complained. She had expected that the masked men must have Zen Master Baoxiang's accomplices. That was why she had set up the Hongmen Banquet to force them to show up. However, she did not expect that there were not just one or two of them, but all of them. Furthermore, each of them was a powerful enemy.
Princess Linglong thought that the 500 demon soldiers on the ship would be able to kill them all. However, they were now in a tough battle. Princess Linglong had to fight the enemy with all her might.
On the other side, Angel Lingxin was not idle either. The sphinx-faced man had ordered for all of them to be killed, which caused her to suffer an unexpected disaster.
"Leave this young lady to me. Don't you guys fight for her!" The man with the bat mask moved like a ghost and attacked Angel Lingxin.
Apart from the sphinx-faced man, the man with the bat mask had the highest status and cultivation. The others obediently stopped interfering and fought with the demon soldiers.
"This man is very evil. He is definitely not a good person." Angel Lingxin held back, but the opponent did not seem to have used his full strength. She was not at a disadvantage. As she probed, she felt that the opponent's aura was gloomy and evil. She did not dare to be careless.
"This young lady is very troublesome!" After a few moves, the man with the bat mask could not gain any advantage. He could not help but let out a strange cry.
"Let me help you!" As Zen Master Baoxiang shouted, he had already activated the Nine Tin Monk Staff to launch a sneak attack.
"Don't even think about launching another sneak attack!" However, Ao Xu had somehow gotten up. He pushed the Spirit Turtle Hand forward, and its power was not to be underestimated. It blocked Zen Master Baoxiang's attack.
"Hmm? You can still get up. However, how long can you last if you use your life force? "Zen Master Baoxiang snorted coldly.
Ao Xu's face was sallow, and his forehead was full of sweat. He could still fight after being attacked by Zen Master Baoxiang. It was obvious that he had used a forbidden technique to extract his life force. However, this would only speed up the speed of his death. It was not a concern.
Ao Xu was also aware of this. His moves were fierce and ruthless. He did not hold back the slightest bit of strength. All of them were moves to perish together.
Zen Master Baoxiang was not in a hurry. He defended himself and said, "Island Master Ao, do you really want to put me to death?"
"Who is the one who wants to put who to death? Baoxiang, we have known each other for more than ten years. Today, we have to fight to the death. What is the purpose of your action? " Although Ao Xu's temper was not good, he was straightforward and loyal. Now that he was betrayed, he asked bitterly when he made his move.
Zen Master Baoxiang smiled and said, "Why? Of course, it's to eradicate you and ascend the throne of the alliance! You're all in the Six Elements, but you're blocking this old monk's path. Once I kill you, Wang Nianzhi, and Mister Dodger, all that's left is Yan Caichun, a woman. Priest Miao only knows how to reason, and no one will be able to compete with this old monk for the position! Unfortunately, Daoqi escaped by luck. However, it doesn't matter. He can escape this time, but he can't escape next time! "
"Just for the position of the alliance leader? The leader of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals is also restricted, so you can't do whatever you want. Is it worth it for you to be so ruthless? "
Zen Master Baoxiang looked ferocious as he laughed and said, "Only mediocre people are restricted. If I ascend the position of the alliance leader, I will naturally break the old and establish the new, rebuilding the order. At that time, the power will be concentrated in the alliance leader. Within the Eastern Sea, everyone will listen to my command! At that time, I can get whatever I want! "
Ao Xu saw his greedy look as if he had never met him before. "You! What's wrong with you, Baoxiang? You weren't like this before! "
"Haha, are you shocked? Are you surprised? This is the first time I realized that this is my true face!" As soon as he finished, Zen Master Baoxiang's staff and kasaya flew up at the same time, attacking for the first time.
Ao Xu squeezed out his life force, but because of Zen Master Baoxiang's impenetrable defense, he couldn't attack for a long time. His moves had become stagnant. Zen Master Baoxiang seized the opportunity to counterattack. The nine-ringed monk staff and the embroidered kasaya were hard and soft. The two treasures were unpredictable.
Ao Xu was immediately caught in a difficult situation. At the critical moment, Goddess Ling Xin lent a helping hand. "Be careful!"
Goddess Ling Xin still had the upper hand against the bat-masked man. At this time, she took the opportunity to force the bat-masked man to retreat and stretched out one hand to grab a corner of the embroidered kasaya. She was used to using the Ten Feet Light Dust and was quite experienced in controlling silk and cloth artifacts. With a shake of her hand, she used the kasaya to wrap around the monk staff and saved Ao Xu from danger.
However, this made Ao Xu have mixed feelings. Earlier, he found trouble with Goddess Ling Xin because Zen Master Baoxiang said that they were related to Lu Tianlan. Now, he completely understood.
It was a conspiracy from the beginning of the treasure sale. Zen Master Baoxiang knew about the goods that he, Wang Nianzhi, and Mr. Dodge were prepared to trade. They avoided these subjects and came to "escort" them to get the qualification to board the ship. They wanted to catch them all on the ship.
However, Mr. Dodge's quota was taken by someone else. Therefore, in order to prevent any changes, Zen Master Baoxiang urged him to make things difficult for Goddess Ling Xin and use her to find out the identity of the Flying Eagle man and Goddess Ling Xin.
But now, the person who made things difficult for him was repeatedly helping him, and the friend he trusted was trying to kill him.
"Island Master Ao! Don't be distracted! "Goddess Ling Xin reminded him. Ao Xu suddenly woke up and focused.
Goddess Ling Xin occasionally helped him, and Ao Xu also tried his best not to be a burden. The battle changed from two one-on-one to two, temporarily maintaining a balance.
On the battlefield, the other places were also in a stalemate. The lion-masked man and Wang Nianzhi were fighting in the sky and could not be seen.
The White Tiger mask and the Green Ox mask worked together to capture Princess Linglong, but Princess Linglong was already struggling.
The remaining eight people were also struggling to block the demon army. Now, one of them had fallen, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
After experiencing this great battle, the entire top cabin had already been torn to pieces and was on the verge of collapse.
Now, it depended on whether Princess Linglong would be captured first or if the other party could not block the attack of the demon army first. Or —
Let's see who would be the first variable!
