Hong Jian's wings fluttered slightly.
The four Winged Men behind him spread out in a straight line. With a flash, they appeared in four different directions.
Hong Jian shook his head regretfully. "Since you've already expected this, why did you choose this path?"
"What path?" Lu Zhou's tone was calm.
"A dead end, of course."
Hong Jian pointed at Little Yuan 'er and said, "Little girl, you're talented. Alas, you're following the wrong person. I can give you another chance to join the Winged Men alone. As for the others … "He looked at Conch and paused for a moment." When Big Abyss offered the Heaven's Opening, we've given them all the chances we should. Don't blame us for being merciless. "
Lu Zhou asked, "You want to kill me?"
"That's how it's always been in the cultivation world," Hong Jian said, "Your cultivation base should be good. It's not easy for you to travel long distances in unknown lands and pass through layers of obstacles. Although you have the White Emperor's support, distant water can't put out a nearby fire. "
Lu Zhou said, "How do you know I didn't leave behind a way to record everything before me?"
"It's useless." Hong Jian shook his head. "After you die, no matter what you leave behind, it'll be devoured by the vines here. This place is called Fallen God Mountain. It's where the ancient god, Ming She Bi, fell. The aura of death is said to be the greatest under the heavens. I'm sorry, but it's the same for all of you. "
"What a boastful claim."
"The more confident you are, the more boastful you can be. You're merely a Little Saint. You're used to being high and mighty in the Nine Lotus Realm. Do you think you can trample Big Abyss beneath your feet? "Hong Jian's expression was calm. He spoke as though he was stating the truth.
He had long been dissatisfied with Lu Zhou's attitude. He had not said anything before this out of respect for the White Emperor and Elder Ming De. Now that everything was out in the open, there was no need for him to hide anymore.
Lu Zhou said, "With just you alone?"
"I'm more than enough."
He spread his wings.
His feathers glowed faintly.
This was a halo, a halo that only a Great Saint would have.
His pure white wings and his long white robe made him look like an angel in the imagination.
Unfortunately, there was nothing in the world that was truly pure and flawless. Just like snow, it seemed white, but it was actually a collection of all the filth in the heavens.
Hung-chien raised his hand and waved it slightly.
The Winged Men in the four directions shot toward Lu Zhou like meteors. Their wings were like the sharpest swords in the world as they sealed off the four directions.
Hu!
When the Four Feathermen gathered, Lu Zhou and the others vanished from where they were.
"Hm?" Hung-chien's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Disperse!"
"It's too late."
He suddenly felt a dangerous force coming at him from behind.
He flapped his wings and turned around. He saw a huge palm seal coming at him. Little Yuan 'er and Conch were 1,000 meters behind him. They were holding a jade talisman in their hands.
Boom!
The radiance collided with Lu Zhou's palm seal.
There was a tearing sound in the air as Hung-chien dodged backward.
The four winged people flew over again.
Their speed had exceeded Lu Zhou's expectations.
Hong Jian said, "I didn't expect you to have actually comprehended the Great Rule."
If it wasn't for the Great Law, there was no reason for it to appear behind him without him noticing.
Lu Zhou looked at the four Winged Men.
His figure disappeared on the spot.
Hu!
The four Winged Men missed their target.
Lu Zhou appeared behind Hong Jian again and said, "There's a price to pay for being conceited."
His fingers were like Mount Tai.
Hung-chien frowned. His wings shone brightly as they spread for 10,000 feet. Space froze!
At the instant the space froze, Hong Jian flapped his wings.
At this moment, Little Yuan 'er was startled. She gripped the jade talisman in her hand tightly.
However, with the space frozen, she could not shatter the jade talisman no matter how hard she tried.
Two Winged Men flew toward her like meteors.
"Master!" Little Yuan 'er looked up.
However, she discovered her master was frozen in the air as well.
She turned to look at Conch. She was frozen as well.
The two Winged Men approached them and reached out to grab them.
At this critical moment, a fan-shaped golden radiance descended from above. Boom!
The two Winged Men were sent flying.
Little Yuan 'er looked up and saw a masked man landing before her.
"Are you alright?" The masked man blocked her way.
"Who are you?" Little Yuan 'er asked.
"That's not important."
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou, who was frozen in place, immediately chanted the Heavenly Writing's power and returned to normal. Although the entire process only took a blink of an eye, Hong Jian's fierce attack was already upon him.
Boom!
Under such circumstances, he could only instinctively summon his Golden Buddha Body.
Unfortunately, the Golden Buddha Body only lasted for a few breaths before it vanished. Lu Zhou was sent flying by the powerful rebound.
The Heavenly Scar Long Robe glowed with a fluorescent light and neutralized a portion of the power.
With this, Lu Zhou retreated 1,000 meters away.
Hung-chien said coldly, "What a great Little Saint to be able to dissolve the power of the Dao so quickly."
Finished.
He looked back at the masked man and asked, "Who are you?"
"I didn't expect the Great Sage of the Feather Clan to do such a despicable thing." The masked man's voice was extremely hoarse and muffled, but it did not affect his expression.
Hearing this, Hung-chien frowned and said, "You know quite a lot."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Emperor Bai about this?"
"White Emperor has to believe it first." When Hung-chien saw the masked man, he was only slightly shocked. However, he did not care. Big Abyss's acknowledgement of Tian Qi was proof.
"A dead pig doesn't fear boiling water. Interesting." The masked man shook his head.
In the air, Lu Zhou who had stabilized his surging Qi and blood looked at the masked man. He did not know the masked man's identity. However, based on the masked man's attitude, he knew he was not a match for him for now.
He shifted his attention to Hung-chien and said indifferently, "If anyone dares to touch my disciple, I'll tear them into pieces."
His words were directed at the masked man.
Little Yuan 'er said with a smile, "Master, I'm fine."
She held Conch in her hand and stepped into the air with the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps.
The masked man, "???"
He turned to look and said in shock, "I've underestimated this little girl."
The frozen space did not affect her at all. She was unaffected by the halos from the Fallen God Mountain and the Feather Clan elites.
Hung-chien said with a smile, "As expected of someone who's acknowledged by Big Abyss."
The masked man said, "Hung-chien, is this why you're killing people today?"
"Since you're aware of this, you should stay as well!"
The wings shone brightly again.
With Hung-chien in the center, they spun in the air and formed a huge vortex that resembled a ball of light.
The other four Feathermen did the same as well.
Five vortexes swiftly converged and tugged at the space around them.
The feathers shrouded in the laws of space shot toward their enemies.
The masked man's silhouette flickered and vanished from his spot.
Little Yuan 'er turned pale with fright. She grabbed Conch and ran into the distance. This time, she crushed the jade talisman in her hand without hesitation.
As soon as the light shone, Hung-chien tore through the void and emerged from the rift. His huge wings shielded Little Yuan 'er and Conch as he said in a deep voice, "You won't be able to escape."
The Saint's halo solidified the space.
As expected of a peak Great Saint. His understanding of the Dao power far surpassed the others.
The power of the jade talisman was suppressed by him with the laws of space.
At this moment, a majestic voice rang from above him. "Scram!"
The palm seal was dazzling and golden. Deep blue electric arcs could be seen amidst the golden light.
Hung-chien was about to resist when the palm seal appeared on his cheek with the same power of the Dao of space.
Boom!
This was the Great Perfection Ruo Que.
Hung-chien plummeted into the mountain range.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch struggled free. They exclaimed in joy, "Master!"
As soon as they finished speaking …
The four Feathermen flew out of the vortex like four meteors with unstoppable force.
However, at this moment, the masked man appeared on the backs of the four Feathermen as though he was teleporting. He stomped on each of them. Due to his speed, it seemed as though he was stomping at the same time. Bam! Bam! Bam!
The four Feathermen spat out mouthfuls of blood and plummeted to the ground.
The masked man's voice was still hoarse as he said, "You deal with Hung-chien. I'll deal with these four birdmen."
Lu Zhou ignored him.
The masked man said, "You must and can only trust me."
The masked man dove.
At this moment, Hung-chien came up from below.
He was about to reach Lu Zhou's face.
His robes were shredded. The Featherman totem on his arms shone brightly.
Lu Zhou pushed Little Yuan 'er and Conch back.
He summoned the Hourglass of Time!
"Freeze!"
The electric arcs fell like a waterfall from the nine heavens.
They swept across the entire Fallen God Mountain.
Lu Zhou did not expect his strength to be so terrifying. He looked around. The Hourglass of Time covered an area of 10,000 meters. It was far greater than Yue Qi's.
He was shocked. 'Did the blue avatar's strength increase greatly after sprouting the Eleven-leaf stage?'
After the Ten-leaf stage, each leaf was equivalent to six Birth Charts. In that case, the blue avatar was equivalent to 11 Birth Charts. The most terrifying thing was when the blue avatar first entered the Thousand Worlds, Lu Zhou could already defeat a Perfected One.
The masked man landed in the middle of the four Feathermen. When he looked up and saw the electric arcs, he cursed helplessly, "You old geezer, can you not be so ruthless?!"
Then, he stood still and entered a frozen state.
Lu Zhou knew time was precious. He moved toward Hung-chien at lightning speed.
"Great Seal of Fearlessness!"
"Great Vajra Wheel Hand Seal!"
"Daoist Nine Cuts Palm Seals!"
"Abandon Wisdom!"
Every palm seal landed on Hung-chien's chest.
Every golden palm seal was imbued with the power of the heavens.
When Lu Zhou saw his shocking defense, Unnamed appeared in his palm.
"Primal Restoration!"
Unnamed's sharpness was self-evident. It instantly pierced through Hung-chien's chest.
Pfft!
Unnamed was imbued with the power of the heavens as well.
Hung-chien spat out a mouthful of blood as he retreated. He was a Great Saint, after all. After he was frozen in time, he was the first to recover.
The four palm imprints and the damage caused by Unnamed exploded in the instant his body recovered.
From what he could sense, he was heavily injured before he could even see Lu Zhou's attack.
"Hourglass of Time?!"
He fell.
He retracted his wings.
When he landed, he swiftly wrapped his wings around his body. The faint fluorescent light swiftly healed his injuries.
The masked man and the four Feathermen's time recovered as well. An expression of shock appeared on their faces.
The masked man glanced at Hung-chien. He did not seem surprised at all. He laughed hoarsely and said, "I'll play with you!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The battle between the masked man and the four Feathermen was one-sided. There was nothing to see.
Lu Zhou focused his attention on Hung-chien.
Boom!
Hung-chien suddenly spread his wings.
When he was high in the air, his wings shot out countless white glowing needles. Swoosh!
Swish swish swish.
Tian Hen's robe kept bulging, blocking the needles.
Hung-chien frowned. "A divine-grade holy artifact?!"
First, it was the Hourglass of Time. Now, it was a holy artifact. This made him feel a little unconfident.
Lu Zhou tore through the void and appeared before him. He struck with his palms.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam … Hung-chien had no choice but to use his palms to block, and the two of them continued to exchange blows.
One moment it appeared in the east of the God-slaying Mountain, the next moment it appeared in the west. Flashing back and forth, the frequency of their battle and teleportation was the same.
Lu Zhou's palm seals grew stronger, and his battle spirit soared.
They fought for a full quarter of an hour, but there was no clear victor.
Hung-chien's eyes widened in anger as he said, "How can this be just a Little Saint!"
Lu Zhou said gruffly, "You found out too late!"
Boom!
The two of them flew backward at the same time, facing each other from a distance.
Seeing how badly the four winged people were being abused, HongJian couldn't be bothered to watch any longer. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter what, you must die today."
At this time, the blood he spat out turned into light and disappeared.
HongJian's body gradually turned red. His wings were bright red as well. It seemed as though they were on the verge of burning.
Little Yuan 'er, who was dodging, pointed at HongJian and said, "Master, kill him! How annoying! He's even transforming?! "
She had a feeling that once HongJian transformed, he would become even more powerful.
HongJian suddenly unleashed his Space Dao power. The space surged toward Little Yuan 'er.
However, as soon as HongJian appeared, Lu Zhou appeared before him as well.
"Not enough!"
A palm seal shot toward him.
HongJian frowned. A pair of red wings shielded him.
Boom!
The power of the palm seal was negated.
He stepped forward and tore through the void again.
The same scene played out again. Every time Hong Jian appeared, Lu Zhou would always appear before him and launch a palm seal at the same time.
"It's still not enough," Lu Zhou said.
HongJian was getting more and more restless as he fought. He was starting to feel irritated as well.
The frequency at which he unleashed his Space Dao power increased.
Even for a Great Saint, the frequent use of Dao power was extremely taxing on his willpower and cultivation base. Sometimes, a Great Saint only needed to unleash his Dao power once to determine the outcome of a battle against a cultivator below the Great Saint realm. When the Dao power was about the same, it was still a battle of cultivation bases.
Boom!
After negating another palm seal, HongJian bellowed, "Space Shackle!"
Sizzle!
The blood that permeated the air formed a cage of heaven and earth at this moment.
"Huh?!" Little Yuan 'er's expression changed slightly. She grabbed Conch and danced around with her Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not break the cage.
The space seemed to be blocked.
HongJian smiled victoriously. "I'd like to see how you're going to deal with this. A Little Saint will always be a Little Saint. "
HongJian watched as the cage shrunk.
HongJian's mood improved. Alas, his joy did not last long before he heard a voice say, "Freeze."
The Hourglass of Time shot out another electric arc that was more powerful and vast than the one before.
The masked man looked up. "How annoying!"
'Can't you wait until I'm done beating up these b * stards?!'
This time, the Hourglass of Time covered an area with a radius of 50,000 meters.
In the forest, all the birds and beasts had turned into statues.
The leaves and the wind were frozen as well.
The water droplets falling from the leaves froze in the air.
Half of the ripples in the lake were still there, and they did not disappear.
The birds and beasts flapped their wings. They did not land, nor did they move.
Lu Zhou appeared in front of Hong Jian again. He brandished Unnamed without hesitation.
The most exquisite sword techniques of the Guiyuan Sword Technique were unleashed at this moment. Traceless Sword, Snowy Mountain, Return and Enter the Three Souls, Primal Restoration …
Every energy sword was tens of thousands of feet long!
Countless energy swords pierced Hung-chien's chest.
A gaping hole appeared on his chest.
He reeled back.
When time was restored, the area within 10,000 meters was flattened in just a blink of an eye.
More than a hundred mountains that were thousands of feet tall were cut off, and countless ancient trees that reached into the sky fell down in unison.
The tallest mountain, Fallen God Mountain, was sliced into countless pieces as though it was tofu. Rubble fell from the sky.
The masked man was speechless. "Is this necessary?"
To prevent HongJian from healing himself again …
Lu Zhou dove.
He arrived before him.
"Ahh!"
HongJian's blood splattered into the surroundings along with the Primal Qi storm.
His feathers had actually left his wings, and they were like the sharpest spears.
Lu Zhou could feel the sharpness of the feathers. For safety's sake, he retreated. Protective energy seal!
HongJian said with a ferocious expression, "Explode!"
A bead flew toward Lu Zhou and exploded with unprecedented power.
The masked man was shocked. "A Heavenly Soul Pearl?! Oh, no! "
Boom!
'This is bad!'
The explosion of a Great Saint was not to be underestimated.
The masked man did not have time to save Lu Zhou and Little Yuan 'er. He only glanced at the four Feathermen who were sent flying. His feathers instantly vaporized. He no longer held back and retreated. Swoosh!
No one knew where he went.
The explosive power of the Heavenly Soul Pearl had an absolute effect on time and space.
As the saying went, all schemes were meaningless in the face of absolute power. The same applied to rules. All rules were meaningless in the face of 'absolute power'.
Rules were like a house. The strength of the person who built the house was determined by the strength of the person who built it. Those who followed the rules could walk in the house. Those who disobeyed the rules would choose to trample the house. Only those who were strong enough could destroy all rules.
Little Yuan 'er pulled Conch and ran with all her might.
Her Nirvana Sash twined around the two of them as it flickered madly.
The jade talisman from before had already shattered and lost its effect. No matter how she ran, the explosive power that could engulf the entire Fallen God Mountain was still heading toward them.
Little Yuan 'er gritted her teeth and said, "I'll block it!"
She took out her own astrolabe.
The star compass was golden and dazzling. It turned around and stood upright before the two of them.
"20 Birth Charts?!" Conch exclaimed hoarsely.
Sizzle!
The powerful force landed on the astrolabe and pushed the two of them ten thousand meters away.
Little Yuan 'er did her best.
The star compass was dented to its limit. It was on the verge of losing its Birth Chart. Conch summoned her star compass and stacked them together to block the remaining force.
After the shockwave passed …
The heavens and earth fell silent.
Little Yuan 'er panted heavily. Her back was drenched in cold sweat.
Even with 20 Birth Charts, it was impossible for her to block the full-powered explosion of a Great Saint's Heavenly Soul Pearl.
After surviving a calamity, there was nothing but luck.
The two of them tried to get a clear view of their surroundings.
They kept panting.
"Master …"
Little Yuan 'er had a worried expression on her face. "Wait for me here. I'll go save Master."
"Ninth Senior Sister, you can't do this!" Conch said.
"I can do it. I have 20 Birth Charts!" Little Yuan 'er said.
"You hid your cultivation base on purpose? When did you learn it from Fourth Senior Brother? When did you pass the Life Stage?! "Conch pulled Little Yuan 'er back." You'll make Master worry! "
Conch sounded disappointed that Little Yuan 'er had deliberately hidden her cultivation base from her.
There had never been any secrets between them.
Little Yuan 'er said, "I don't have time to explain this now! Saving Master is more important! "
Conch looked at the battlefield.
There was no mountain on the Fallen God Mountain.
There was only a huge, circular crater.
The mountain was long gone.
After an unknown period of time, their vision gradually returned.
The powerful force pushed the mist away and cleansed the sky.
At a low altitude.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air, unscathed.
He stood with his hands on his back as he looked at the bloodied Hong Jian with an indifferent expression.
Hong Jian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he looked at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou did not know how long the two of them had been staring at each other. However, based on the look in their eyes, they should have known the outcome of the battle a long time ago.
On the ground in front of Hong Jian, a dull Heavenly Soul Pearl was half-buried in the soil.
Finally, Hong Jian could no longer hold on and fell.
He knelt on the ground as he struggled to support himself with his arms.
Blood dripped onto the ground. The bloody hole in his chest never healed.
"Hehe … Hehe … Hehehe …"
Hong Jian laughed forlornly for a while. His lips trembled slightly. "I … I think … I think I know who you are …"
Lu Zhou did not say anything. He descended as well and walked up to the Heavenly Soul Pearl.
A satisfied smile appeared on Hong Jian's face. "It's my honor to die in your hands."
Creak!
Hong Jian's body froze.
Crack!
Suddenly, his body shattered and turned into a pile of debris.
Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 80,000 merit points. Domain reward: 20,000 merit points. Race reward: 20,000 merit points.
