The members of the Thousand Willow Monastery watched from the air.
"As expected of the Ninth Temple's elite who's halfway to the Nine-leaf stage. To think he's able to force both of them to attack at the same time."
During this time, they gained a basic understanding of Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He knew that they were from the same sect, and he also knew that they liked to compete in secret.
Against enemies, they rarely attacked at the same time.
Whether it was imparting saber arts or sword arts, the two of them competed with each other.
He would occasionally give pointers to the other disciples of the Thousand Willow Monastery in front of the Fair Hall and spar with them.
To be able to force them to join hands … this was a testament to Zhu Xuan's strength.
…
Yu Shangrong's silhouette appeared next to Hong Lian Fa. He leaned forward and walked on air.
His first move was the Guiyuan Sword Technique, Enter Three Souls.
Three illusory figures appeared and reappeared.
Zhu Xuan, who hovered in front of the red lotus avatar, frowned slightly as he looked at the three phantoms.
A true expert would be able to sense the strength of his opponent during a fight.
On the ground, Yu Zhenghai was locked down by the Square Box.
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to focus on dealing with Yu Shangrong.
With a light tap of his toes …
Zhu Xuan soared into the air once more.
The Red Lotus Dharma Body was also rising.
It was hard not to notice a fourteen zhang red light.
In the Red Lotus Domain, cultivators who happened to be flying at a low altitude saw this shocking scene and looked up at the sky.
"A Red Lotus Fourteen Zhang. Which sect's expert is that?"
"Do you want to take a look?"
"Don't get involved in a battle between experts, lest you get into trouble. That territory should be near the Thousand Willow Monastery … "
"What's that?"
Then, he looked at the distant horizon.
Below the Red Lotus Dharma Body, a red, square-shaped object was lifted up by a figure the size of a mung bean. Every time it was lifted, a loud noise would be heard.
Boom.
Boom.
The voice sent chills down everyone's spine.
"It's the Ninth Temple's Zhu Xuan's weapon, the Square Box."
"It's Zhu Xuan … The Thousand Willow Monastery isn't simple for the Ninth Temple to send an elite over."
"The Thousand Willow Monastery isn't what it used to be. I don't know what's wrong with them, but they're offending people everywhere."
Everyone spoke one after another.
Although that was what they said, how could they not know that the weak deserved to be beaten?
…
Yu Shangrong's Guiyuan Sword Technique had already locked onto the red lotus.
An energy sword shot out.
Zhu Xuan put his palms together. "Form the Dhyana Mudra."
The red Dhyana Mudra surrounded the golden lotus.
Bang!
The Longevity Sword drew a Dhyana Mudra. Yu Shangrong shot past and hovered in the air with his sword in hand.
The Dhyana Mudra was lacerated, but the Dharmakaya was unharmed.
Tie.
Zhu Xuan retracted his avatar and looked at Yu Shangrong. "Who are you?"
"The person who's going to kill you," Yu Shangrong said nonchalantly.
"The Square Box has been activated. This has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to interfere." Zhu Xuan didn't want to fight two people at the same time.
"I'm afraid it won't go as you wish."
Yu Shangrong moved at lightning speed. His sword intent was traceless.
Zhu Xuan performed the Dhyana Mudra again, and at the same time, a sky full of palm prints flew and exploded.
"Zhu Xuan is proficient in both Buddhism and Daoism." Xia Changqiu was dumbfounded.
Yu Zhenghai pushed the Square Box again.
The Eight-leaf golden avatar surged with energy.
The cultivators in the distance all cried out in surprise when they saw this scene.
"Golden Avatar! The Mutated Tribes have invaded! "
Many cultivators flew away.
Halfway through, they all stopped.
"Don't get any closer … The Ninth Temple is interfering. Anyone who gets close will be their enemy."
"So, the news from the Sky Martial Court is true!"
The cultivators hovered in the air as they looked at the Square Box.
Soon after, a magnificent battle broke out between the three of them.
…
The sun was setting in the west.
The three of them fought for six hours.
The forest in the ravine was razed to the ground.
Zhu Xuan was fighting two enemies at the same time.
Ji Fengxing gulped as he said, "I have a feeling that the two of you can fight a Nine-leaf cultivator if you join forces."
Wuwu said, "Look."
Wuwu pointed at the 140-foot red lotus avatar that had just appeared. The avatar was surrounded by countless energy swords that resembled schools of fish in the sea.
Crack!
The 140-foot avatar was growing.
"He's reaching the Nine-leaf stage!" Xia Changqiu was shocked.
If Zhu Xuan reached the Nine-leaf stage during the battle, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong would not stand a chance.
The two of them had personally witnessed their master's Nine-leaf might. Hence, they knew the difference between them.
As the energy swords spun, the energy sabers from below pushed against the Square Box.
The Square Box suddenly dropped 100 meters.
Yu Zhenghai shot out like a fired arrow and broke free from the Square Box's lock.
He extended his arms and gathered his energy sabers.
"Junior brother!" For the first time in his life, Yu Zhenghai felt that it was not embarrassing to join forces with someone else.
Yu Shangrong understood what Yu Zhenghai meant.
The Guiyuan Sword Technique controlled the energy swords and energy sabers to move together.
The two of them stood on the left and right of the avatar.
Zhu Xuan's face was flushed. He could barely breathe from the pressure from the two of them.
Zhu Xuan's face was flushed. He was suffocating from the pressure from the two of them.
…
At this moment, Xia Changqiu made a move.
"Brother Zhu, I'm sorry!"
Xia Changqiu summoned his avatar and waved his horsetail whisk.
It swept toward the Square Box.
The box spun too quickly and lost control.
Xia Changqiu unleashed his grand technique again and rose to the top. He looked down at the 150-foot red lotus avatar.
He raised two fingers, and his horsetail whisk shot out.
At the same time, the energy sabers and energy swords shot toward the avatar's heart like wyrms.
Boom!
The horsetail whisk struck the avatar's head.
Boom!
Zhu Xuan grunted. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips. However, his eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, the red lotus avatar erupted with even more energy. It spun and formed a red vortex in just a blink of an eye.
It devoured the energy sabers and energy swords.
Bam! Bam!
Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and retreated.
Yu Zhenghai raised his Jasper Saber and retreated as well.
Xia Changqiu, on the other hand, was in trouble. He was standing in front of the avatar. He was struck by the red energy and reeled back. He grunted as his blood essence surged.
The battle was over.
"150-foot …"
Everything returned to normal.
The energy slowly dissipated.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai exchanged a glance.
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine as well."
In the air, Zhu Xuan slowly opened his eyes in the center of the red lotus avatar.
He looked at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
"It's over. Zhu Xuan is at the Nine-leaf stage!"
The cultivators who were watching from afar trembled.
"Congratulations! Great Tang has gained another Nine-leaf cultivator!"
"The Ninth Temple is still the Ninth Temple, after all … As expected of the grand cultivator closest to the Nine-leaf stage in the past 50 years."
…
Zhu Xuan looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Yu Zhenghai said, "If you want to, we'll continue."
"What about you?" Zhu Xuan looked at Yu Shangrong.
"If you want to fight, we'll continue." Yu Shangrong straightened his right arm. His Longevity Sword buzzed.
Zhu Xuan did not question Xia Changqiu. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Why don't we stop here?"
The two of them were puzzled.
"However, you … must come with me." Zhu Xuan looked at Yu Zhenghai.
Yu Zhenghai gripped his Jasper Saber tightly. "What if I don't agree?"
Zhu Xuan waved his right hand.
The avatar vanished.
The Square Box shrunk and flew back to his waist.
The white crane flew up from below and held Zhu Xuan back.
Zhu Xuan tilted his head and looked at his arm. The veins on his arm were bulging, and his little finger was still trembling.
This battle had exceeded his expectations.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
Zhu Xuan said, "There's no such thing as an eternal enemy … I'm already at the Nine-leaf stage. If we fight to the death, both of us will suffer."
A friend's friend was an enemy.
After witnessing the duo's strength, Zhu Xuan changed his mind.
The Ninth Temple had always been on bad terms with the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House. With these two people, the Ninth Temple's strength would surely rise to a higher level.
Yu Zhenghai smiled.
"There's no such thing as an eternal enemy?"
"The Ninth Temple has always been at odds with the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House … Since the two of you have such cultivation bases, why don't you join the Ninth Temple?"
Yu Zhenghai sheathed his Jasper Saber and stood with his hands on his back.
He said, "Apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion, none of the other sects in this world are worthy of my attention … There's no need to join the Ninth Temple, but I can consider working with you."
The aura of someone who once ruled the Nether Sect was on full display.
Although Zhu Xuan's cultivation base was profound, he did not hold the highest position in the Nether Sect.
He wondered to himself, 'What kind of powerful sect is the Evil Sky Pavilion?
"A wise man submits to the circumstances. I won't force you … What do you think, sir?" Zhu Xuan looked at Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong glanced at Yu Zhenghai and said calmly, "You have a point, senior brother."
"Alright."
Zhu Xuan descended slowly until he was at the same height as Yu Zhenghai and Yu Zhenghai. "In my capacity as the Ninth Temple's Grand Elder, I invite the two of you to the Ninth Temple. Please … "
