Jiang Qiubai snickered. His face was full of contempt as he said, "You've got it all wrong, haven't you? Wolf Temple and the Everlasting Heaven, since when have you two foreign thieves got the right to point your fingers at us?"
At that, the Wave-making Master sneered, "How stubborn."
Gu Bansheng heaved a sigh and said, "If that's the case, Master Jiang, you'd better prepare for your last defense."
Jiang Qiubai nodded and said, "There's one question I can't help but ask. How on earth did you sneak into the Wolf Temple?"
The Wave-making Master sneered but said nothing. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at the dog general.
He hated that dog to the core.
Gu Bansheng answered, "Master Jiang, you must have noticed that the world has changed. Demons and gods have descended. The world is no longer what it used to be. The Age of Destruction is coming. Soon, it will not be the top nine Holy Clans or the empire that controls everything. If we want to get out of this world and enter the boundless universe, we have to make some compromises …"
"Oh, I see. But Master Gu's words are really poetic." Jiang Qiubai leaned against the golden gate. Blood dyed the gate wall red. He nodded with a sneer and said, "But I got it. Haha, compromises? Didn't you just swallow your pride and serve as someone else's dog? "
Gu Bansheng's face suddenly turned ghastly pale.
The Wave-making Master approached step by step, full of killing intent. He didn't want to waste any more time.
However, the general sprang to his feet and said angrily, "Let's make it clear first. What's wrong with being a dog?"
Jiang Qiubai was speechless.
"Is this the time for a quarrel?"
"Since that's the case, Master Jiang, let's go." In Gu Bansheng's palm, layers of sword light were flashing and the Sword Intent was swirling.
Jiang Qiubai put on a proud look. He sneered and said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"What?"
"I'm from the Everlasting Heaven." Jiang Qiubai said with a faint smile.
The Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng both stopped in their tracks. Dread appeared on their faces.
Yeah, I almost forgot that Jiang Qiubai came from the Everlasting Heaven.
The Everlasting Heaven was one of the Forbidden Lands of Immortals and Demons. It contained great secrets, great opportunities, and great killing intents. Even Great Sages might be buried in it. Jiang Qiubai, who had walked out of the Everlasting Heaven, must be very familiar with the secrets inside. Seeing that he was so calm, could it be that there was some kind of killing intents lurking in front of the gate?
Seeing that the Celestial Longevity Gate was about to open, no one wanted their efforts to go to waste.
Gu Bansheng and the Wave-making Master looked at each other, but neither of them took another step forward.
Back in the Wolf Temple, although Jiang Qiubai had been defeated and had to flee several times, that was because he was fighting against two enemies at the same time and was at a natural disadvantage. Besides, there was also a woman he had to protect. Inevitably, he was distracted. On several occasions, the Wave-making Master disregarded his status and directly launched brutal attacks at that woman, forcing Jiang Qiubai to confront her head-on. Only then did he manage to inflict heavy injuries on Jiang Qiubai. Otherwise, Jiang Qiubai could have made full use of the various inhibitions and tactical deployments in the Wolf Temple.
Although they had the upper hand at the moment, Jiang Qiubai's means still made them feel apprehensive.
Therefore, at that moment, Jiang Qiubai merely uttered a few words, and the two experts at the peak of the martial arts world lost their aggressiveness.
Jiang Qiubai just leaned against the gate and stared at the two with a mocking smile.
The atmosphere became a little weird and awkward.
Shangguan Yuting stood by Jiang Qiubai's side, dressing his wounds.
Along the way, Jiang Qiubai had protected her well. He did not get hurt at all. On several occasions, he saved her from the Wave-making Master at the risk of getting injured.
Shangguan Yuting felt that she was the one who had dragged Jiang Qiubai down. From Taibai County to the vast pasture, from the snowstorm to the Wolf Temple, and then to the gate of the Nine Heavens Gate of the Celestial Longevity Heaven, Shangguan Yuting's impression of the man who had abducted her had been changing. But now, she had to admit that Jiang Qiubai was a good man, a man who really had the demeanor, style, and bearing of the Nine Superbs. Compared to the Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng, who were also Nine Superbs, he was many times more open-minded.
She wanted to help Jiang Qiubai.
However, her strength was far too lacking.
That was not a battle she could take part in at all.
Jiang Qiubai coughed a few times. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
Since he left the Everlasting Heaven and made great achievements in martial arts, it was the second time that he had been so seriously injured.
The Cultivation Method of the Wolf Temple was inclined to refining the body. Jiang Qiubai's body was extremely strong, and his recovery ability was amazing. But the one who hurt him was after all also one of the Nine Superbs. Besides, the Wave-making Master's Poisonous Kui Water and Gu Bansheng's Holy and Evil Sword Intent kept wreaking havoc in his wound. Therefore, the bleeding had been stopped. It would probably take years for him to recover.
But at that moment, what he lacked most was undoubtedly time.
This standoff lasted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
At last, the Wave-making Master could not bear it any longer.
"If you had other tricks, you would have struck first. You wouldn't have waited for so long." He stared at Jiang Qiubai and sneered. "You said that on purpose just to scare us and buy us some time. You want to wait until the gate of the Nine Heavens Gate opens so that you can escape into the Everlasting Heaven to survive, right?"
Jiang Qiubai sat quietly on the ground. He seemed to have dispersed all his Cultivation Method. There was no fluctuation of energy in him.
His face was ghastly pale. But his expression was indifferent. He just sneered without saying a word.
The Wave-making Master gritted his teeth. Watery light swirled around him. With the sound of surging tides, he wrapped himself in a blue suit of armor. The dark blue water blades around him morphed into various shapes. Tens of thousands of sharp blades were about to shoot at Jiang Qiubai.
"Woof, you really have other tricks?" The two-tongue-eyed general beside him was so nervous that all its fur was bunched up. It looked like it was ready to run away at any moment.
Jiang Qiubai didn't bother to answer it. "What do you think?"
The general tilted its head and looked as if it was asking for a beating. It thought for a moment and said, "I think you're a very sinister person. I guess you're up to no good, so I'll believe you this time …" As it spoke, it stopped its escape posture.
At that moment, the Wave-making Master, who was about to launch his killing move, suddenly felt a little nervous.
It was hard to tell the truth from the conversation between the man and the dog.
That stupid dog had also cast a shadow on him.
The Wave-making Master had seen countless situations where he was killed. If there was some kind of tactical deployment in front of the gate of the Nine Heavens Gate, once it was activated, the backlash would be strong enough to devour gods, devils, and immortals.
"Humph, I almost fell into your trap." The Wave-making Master sneered and took a step back. The strange blue water blades around him all dissipated.
In that case, Gu Bansheng, the Evil Sword Saint Devil, was in a dilemma.
As a man of nine mountains, he couldn't afford to fall short of success at the last moment.
So, the awkward confrontation continued.
As time went by, Jiang Qiubai's expression became more and more agitated.
Such a change made the Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng more convinced that Jiang Qiubai did have some dirty tricks up his sleeve.
Jiang Qiubai's previous performance must have been to bait them into attacking, so that he could set them up at the most critical moment. As time went by, the gate of the Nine Heavens Gate was about to open. Once the gate was opened, Jiang Qiubai would have no choice but to escape into the Everlasting Heaven. That was fine. Anyway, the purpose of the two was to bring that black wolf statue into the Everlasting Heaven and then obtain the secret of the Void-breaking Realm. It was not necessary to fight Jiang Qiubai to the death.
Having figured that out, the two were no longer in a hurry.
Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a rumbling sound was heard.
The golden gate behind Jiang Qiubai slowly opened. Boundless golden light poured out from it.
That gate was the one in the middle of the nine gates of the Nine Heavens Gate, and also the largest one.
The gate opened once in a thousand years, and the greatest blessing in the Everlasting Heaven was exactly this gate.
The Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng both looked ecstatic.
Because that golden light was exactly the dense immortal and devil aura.
The legend was right. The Everlasting Heaven did contain the secret of the Void-breaking Realm, and it could also lead to the immortal realm beyond the heavens. The two instantly felt the trip was worthwhile.
"You guys go in. Go wherever you can." Jiang Qiubai's incomplete figure was almost drowned in the golden light. He looked at Shangguan Yuting and said, "The gate of the Everlasting Heaven that opens once in a thousand years is destined to be opened for you. That's your chance. And the Nine-tailed bloodline in your arms … As for you …" Jiang Qiubai's eyes swept over the two-tone-eyed Husky, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He said, "Forget it. You should go in too …"
The general said indignantly, "What do you mean by 'too'? Didn't you intend to let me in at the beginning? You heartless little Golden Retriever. "
"What about you?" Shangguan Yuting wanted to help Jiang Qiubai up.
The gate was open, and they could escape into it. Jiang Qiubai had said that the Everlasting Heaven was wide enough to escape from the Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng.
Jiang Qiubai smiled and said, "Me? Of course I'm here to guard the gate … "He said airily," The Everlasting Heaven is not a place that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter. " He almost blurted out the word "dog". Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, the stupid dog called the general would quarrel with him for a long time. How annoying!
On the other side, the Wave-making Master and Gu Bansheng understood what Jiang Qiubai meant, and their faces paled.
"Master Jiang, do what you can. Don't go against the law of nature." The Wave-making Master said coldly, "The two of us have given you a chance. We didn't kill you just now … The Everlasting Heaven is open, and the chance is in there. Let's do what we can. Don't force us to kill you."
Gu Bansheng also sneered.
They had hesitated before because they wanted to enter the Everlasting Heaven smoothly.
But now, Jiang Qiubai was going to stop them from entering the gate. Then, they would have to fight to the death.
Jiang Qiubai slowly rose to his feet. His face turned fierce and he said, "Go against the law of nature? Humph, I forgot to tell you that I am the law here … Outsiders who enter the Wolf Temple will die! You've already become the dogs of the extraterrestrial demons. How dare you dream of entering the Everlasting Heaven? Is it a sacred place that can be sullied by spineless cowards like you? To tell you the truth, from the moment you enter the Wolf Temple, you won't be able to walk out alive. "
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and waved his palm.
An invisible force gushed out and sent Shangguan Yuting, who was caught off guard, straight into the golden gate behind her.
The two-tongue-eyed general was also dragged in.
Then, Jiang Qiubai stood in front of the gate alone, with one leg and one hand. Golden light poured down from behind him. He straightened his back and stood straight. Then, he beckoned with his other hand and said, "Come on, one of the Superbs in the World is destined to die today."
