In the desert more than ten miles away from the mine, two cars of young Gate of Dao's disciples were sneakily looking at the rocky ground that was higher than the sand. All of a sudden, they heard a familiar cold voice resonating from the air, causing them to be stunned in unison.
After listening to the words of this voice, Yu Longyu, who was the most quick-witted among them, was the first to snap back to reality. With a wry smile, he said, "It's Senior Uncle Li who made use of Junior Uncle Yu's Water Mirror Technique to issue a decree for us to go over.
I can't believe that the successor of the ancient witchcraft would actually be so vigilant. He can still notice us even when we're parked more than ten miles away. Sigh, looks like we'll have to be more cautious from now on. "
"Since it's Senior Uncle Li's decree, let's go over quickly." Lu Shangyou, who claimed to be the leader of the younger generation of the Gate of Dao in the operation to rob and kill the successor of the ancient witchcraft, was sitting in the front passenger seat of the jeep. After a moment of silence with a solemn expression, he opened his mouth and said in a dry voice, "We'll follow the decree of the Masters."
The moment he said such words, it was apparent that this Gate of Dao's young leader already had the idea of shirking his responsibility. Strange expressions appeared on the faces of the other disciples in the car. Only Li Xiangzhou had her eyes wide open like a deaf person. Her eyes were bloodshot as she suddenly took a deep breath.
When she breathed it out again, the breath that the girl swallowed had already turned into a fiery red color. The nine red balls swam in it like fish, with an indescribable agility and coldness.
At the same time when Li Xiangzhou breathed out the sword ball, Zhang Lisheng, who was on the mine, frowned as he muttered, "Flame power? Don't tell me that everything is a scam and the one who ordered the peeping is the Atlanteans?
But the person sitting in the front passenger seat of the car is obviously that guy named Lu Shangyou. How could those aliens be mixed up with the cadres of the Chinese state-owned company? This relationship is really strange.
Eh? Carefully sensing this power, it doesn't seem to be the power that the Atlanteans use to control light and fire. It's just a simple flame power. No, that's not right either. That sharp edge is not something that the flame power can possess. Don't tell me that it's a Taoist technique … "
As the young man racked his brains to come up with an answer, two jeeps approached him from a distance.
When they were about three to four hundred meters away from the mine, the back door of the car at the front of the line suddenly opened. A stream of flames that was six to seven meters long gushed out like a torrent of water. The driver let out a roar filled with hatred. "Die, you bastard!" It drew a graceful arc in the air and charged straight at Zhang Lisheng.
The scorching heat hit his body, and the sharp edge touched his body. The casual clothes worn by the young man tore apart for no reason and turned into cloth pieces hanging on his body. The pure cashmere fabric became crispy and gave off an unpleasant burnt smell.
Seeing that even his clothes and body were about to turn into ashes, Zhang Lisheng smiled coldly without fear and stared at the sky without blinking.
His gaze locked onto the beautiful woman who had a pair of razor-like sword-like eyebrows and was commanding nine flying swords that were emitting blazing flames to charge towards him. With a suspicious expression, he said, "So it's really a Gate of Dao's disciple …" Stomping his left foot on the ground, the rocky ground of about ten meters around him turned into fine soil, causing dust to rise into the air.
The thick smoke surged outwards and collided with the sword ball that Li Xiangzhou commanded. A series of 'bang bang …' sounds that sounded like a heavy hammer hitting a shield resonated. At once, the long flame that was originally agile like a swimming fish suddenly became like a fish that came ashore, struggling to move.
"What a great technique, sir!" Upon seeing that his comrade's flaw had been exposed, a young man wearing a suit with bright eyes came out of the jeep. Before he even landed on the ground, the sand under his feet had already gushed into the air like a fountain, wrapping around him as he flew to Li Xiangzhou's side to protect her flank before saying loudly.
"You're also an outstanding disciple in the Gate of Dao, right? Putting aside whether my technique is great or not, the reason why you guys came here is really strange. Aren't you afraid of dying in the wilderness after luring me here?" Zhang Lisheng smiled calmly and put on the airs of an expert as he asked out of the blue.
"Strange? Haha …" Looking down at the young man who acted as though nothing had happened, Li Xiangzhou laughed out loud. "You've killed my Gate of Dao's disciple so we're here to take revenge. What's so strange about that …"
"Then your reaction is really slow! Your comrade has been dead for more than two years and you're only here to take revenge today? Not only that, but you've also bumped into me by chance!" Zhang Lisheng interrupted the girl's words and turned his attention to the jeep that had just stopped by the low rocky mountain and shouted, "Do you think I'm right, Mr. Lu Shangyou?"
"The Gate of Witchcraft and the Gate of Dao have always been enemies for thousands of years. Mr. Zhang, why do you have to talk so much nonsense? Today, we'll just fight to the death and ignore everything else." Lu Shangyou was only thinking about the order from his Gate of Dao that was transmitted through the Water Mirror Spell. After replying with a sneer, he no longer said anything.
Jumping out of the car, he took out two pieces of talismans that looked like ordinary yellow paper and rubbed them twice regretfully. Gritting his teeth, he chanted an incantation and drew out a talisman to transform into two giants that looked like ancient Chinese generals with a height of 30 feet and were fully armored. Waving their long halberds, they charged towards Zhang Lisheng.
The moment Lu Shangyou made his move, the other young elite disciples of the Gate of Dao began to help him. In an instant, they formed a siege.
The young man, who could not fully unleash his strength due to the geographical restriction, remained calm on the surface but was secretly groaning in his heart. With great difficulty, he resisted for a while by manipulating the power of the soil. Without warning, he leaped backward and temporarily broke away from the battle. His entire body swelled up and transformed into a giant vertical eye.
When he transformed into the Eye Beast, countless' torque 'surged out from his body. The flying swords and sorcery that were originally struggling to block were either smashed to the ground or torn into pieces by an invisible force with just a thought in his mind.
Zhang Lisheng was surprised that the strange ability of the Eye Beast had such a strong resistance to the Dao. When he saw the Gate of Dao's disciples in front of him, horror crept upon their faces, and he roared, "Since all of you want to fight to the death, I'll fulfill your wish then!" He wanted to eliminate Li Xiangzhou, who was the one who risked her life to attack him.
Just when he was about to succeed, a roar resonated in his ears all of a sudden. "How dare you, beast?!" Countless complicated patterns lit up on the rocky ground below him.
There was a Gate of Dao's powerhouse lying in ambush. At that instant, the young man realized that he had fallen into a trap. He immediately contracted the torque and formed an invisible defense around his body.
The mysterious embossed talismans on the rock lit up one by one. Strange phenomena appeared one after another in the four directions of north, south, east, and west. Four strange beasts, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, slowly appeared in the void. When the strange beasts that were as big as mountains appeared and dispersed again, they would leave behind a Taoist priest to guard around the young man.
When Zhang Lisheng saw the Taoist priests wearing colorful yin and yang robes with white jade inlaid on the front and a Tai Chi belt floating at the back, his heart clenched. He had seen this kind of attire in the Gate of Witchcraft's library before and knew that they were the so-called Taoist priests among the Gate of Dao's disciples whose combat power was equivalent to that of a Grand Wizard, he sneered.
Sneering, he said, "The dignified Gate of Dao actually thinks highly of me to actually send four Taoist priests to set up an ambush formation like rats. How ridiculous, despicable, and lamentable …"
The formation was successfully set up and trapped the successor of the ancient witchcraft in it. The Taoist priests did not make a move right away, nor did they continue to call him a beast and a thief. Instead, their attitude became strangely gentle.
One of the gentle and elegant Taoist priests with a jade-like face cupped his fist and said, "We're avenging our disciple who has died tragically, so of course, we'll use whatever means we have.
Speaking of which, you've cultivated the ancient witchcraft to such a level that you can even transform into a strange insect and even shed your human form. You can be considered as an outstanding person of your generation. Now that you've fallen into a desperate situation because of a mistake, why do you still need to struggle on your deathbed and end up with your soul scattered? Why don't you just accept a good karma? I swear to the Heaven and Earth that I'll definitely let you reincarnate … "
"You're trying to make me surrender with just your mouth alone?" Zhang Lisheng did not point out that he was actually using the power of the Witchcraft's Gate of Sacrifice. Instead, the sneer on his face became even more serious as he interrupted the Taoist's words. "Taoist priest, you're exactly the same as the Gate of Dao's disciple who had his flesh and bones disintegrated by me two years ago. It's obvious that you've set up an ambush but you've made it sound as though you're forced to do so because of my fault.
I've read the Gate of Witchcraft's Heavenly Dao's rule before in the Gate of Witchcraft's library and there's a rule about the difference between Chinese and Western. That day, that Zheng Tianliang first schemed against me for no reason and was killed by me instead. According to the Heavenly Dao's rule, he completely deserved to die.
It's the same reason why all of you trapped me today. If it were up to me, why must you make the same mistake again and again and shame the ancestors of the Gate? Why don't you just kill yourself … "
"What a glib tongue, you scoundrel! Unfortunately, you don't know the principle of 'don't bother about the trifles for the sake of great things'!" When the leopard-eyed Taoist priest standing on the white tiger saw that even though the successor of the ancient witchcraft was young, he had a tenacious mind and was eloquent, he roared, "Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, this beast is so stubborn! It's better for us to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
"In that case, let the four spirits return to their positions and activate the formation …" Upon hearing this, the aloof old Taoist standing on the green dragon position of the Four Image Formation gently nodded and said. As his words left his mouth, the wind began to surge in the formation as murderous aura began to fill the air, giving rise to endless changes.
First, the talismans on the ground continuously transformed into Taoist soldiers with dragon heads, tiger claws, turtle backs, and sparrow wings that swarmed towards the young man.
Then, in the sky that was less than three to four meters above the ground, a sharp metallic clanging sound resonated. Clumps of Innate Sharp Metal Qi condensed in the air and condensed into hundreds of thousands and hundreds of millions of weapons that could cut through hair that pierced towards Zhang Lisheng.
Then, as time went by, the attacks of the Taoist soldiers and metal weapons became futile. Instead, terrifying spells such as blazing fire, ice, lightning, and so on were automatically born in the formation. It looked as though it would not stop until the successor of the ancient witchcraft had been reduced to ashes.
Unknowingly, Zhang Lisheng had already fallen into the formation for 20 to 30 minutes. The ever-changing means of the Four Image Formation were specifically used to restrain the brutal dark power of the wizard. By right, he should have been severely injured even if he did not die now that it had evolved to such a stage.
However, the young man who had transformed into the Eye Beast was able to break all spells with his strength alone. Be it the Taoist soldiers, swords, fire, or water, all of them were repelled by an invisible force. Other than a few shallow cracks appearing on his body that seemed to be unable to withstand the power of the transformation, he did not show any signs of injury at all.
