When Zuo Daoist heard this, his expression turned solemn as he said, "Shangchen cultivators, huh? Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Pei. Once I've made the arrangements here, I'll come and lend you a hand."
Pei Yue cupped his fists, and the fleeting figure suddenly disappeared.
Zuo Daoist immediately turned around and said to Fu Cuo, "Young Master Fu, you heard it too. There are Shangchen cultivators here. Since we were sent here by the military, we definitely can't back down."
Fu Cuo was actually unwilling in his heart. The Fu Clan's army was a mercenary army, and in fact, they were also the Fu Clan's private army. If there were any losses, they would bear the responsibility. If they encountered Shangchen cultivators, they might suffer heavy casualties.
However, Zuo Daoist was right. If he backed down at this time, then the Fu Clan's army would not be able to survive on Kuizu Earth Star.
He gritted his teeth and said to the people beside him, "Pass down the order to guard all the entrances!" He grabbed one of his trusted aides and said, "Go and tell Father about the situation here. Tell him to be prepared."
The trusted aide nodded and immediately turned around and ran out.
The moment the Yellow Dragon's Soul Essence dissipated in front of Zuo Daoist and the others, it appeared in the hall of the giant ship. As soon as it appeared, it swooped down towards Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu raised his head slightly and stood in place without moving. When the thing rushed in front of him, he raised his hand and pressed it on the head of the Soul Essence with a bang. The Soul Essence's momentum was actually stopped by him. No matter how hard it tried, it could not move forward even half an inch.
When Pei Yue saw this, he was shocked. He pointed up and a Dao Talisman diagram suddenly appeared on the jade wall around the hall. A golden light flowed endlessly. He shouted, "Bind!"
In an instant, the Dao Talismans flew out of the jade wall and connected to one place, turning into an omnipresent golden net and closing in on the middle.
When Zhang Yu saw this scene, he only flicked his sleeve and a bright sword light flashed. It swept past the yellow dragon's soul essence and cut it into two.
Just as the golden net was about to close, there seemed to be brilliant starlight flickering in the hall. In the next instant, Zhang Yu's figure had already arrived outside the net. At the same time, the flying sword outside his body flashed like lightning and slashed through the air!
At this moment, Pei Yue also realized how powerful Zhang Yu was. He was definitely not someone the Mystic cultivators he had seen before could compare to. He didn't dare to be careless and retreated slightly. He took out a sword seal, and the flying sword behind him flew up with a clang. It transformed into a graceful flying dragon and clashed with the Cicada Sword that was slashing at him. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pushed, causing the silver fragments in front of him to scatter and spread toward Zhang Yu.
Taking advantage of this momentary obstruction, a crimson light flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers, and grabbed at the air in front of him.
Boom!
The whole giant boat seemed to shake for a moment. A dazzling flame appeared in his palm, and the temperature in the hall dropped sharply. A cloud of water vapor condensed on the surrounding jade wall.
This was the Earth Fire Essence Qi accumulated in the giant boat and mixed it with spiritual power. Once it was launched by him, it could affect the Earth Fire. Its power was enough to destroy the entire giant boat and even the people and things within a radius of ten miles. However, he had a way to avoid it, so he could avoid it.
But just as he was about to release the Flame Essence, an incomparably bright light flashed and shone into his mind. The jade pendant on his waist immediately released a wisp of clear Qi, protecting his Soul. But even so, he couldn't help but fall into a trance for a moment. By the time he recovered, Zhang Yu had already arrived in front of him, a bright sword light had already slashed down.
Pei Yue hurriedly dodged, relying on his incomparably exquisite movement technique to repeatedly avoid the sword lights. But under such pressure, he was suppressed to the point that he could only dodge. The Flame Essence energy that he had gathered in his hands had no way to attack, but he had to maintain it from time to time. This had instead become a burden to him.
At this moment, the Yellow Dragon's Soul Essence, which had been cut into two, once again gathered together. As long as the treasure that contained the Soul Essence was not damaged, it would not truly perish. After it gathered together, it let out a dragon's roar and charged towards Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. Above him, the Cicada Cry Sword suddenly bloomed with a burst of divine light. Then, its speed suddenly accelerated, and a boundless force overflowed from the sword blade!
Pei Yue's flying sword was suddenly unable to resist. With a sound of metal colliding, it was sent flying. After spinning hundreds of times, it was nailed to the jade wall in the hall. The sword body flashed a few times, and with a few ping ping sounds, a dozen rice-sized nicks appeared on the blade. Then, it completely dimmed, as if it had become an ordinary iron sword.
After the Cicada Cry Sword repelled the flying sword, it caught up with the yellow dragon spirit that was about to rush forward. It pierced through the dragon's neck and firmly nailed it to the ground.
Pei Yue had hoped that the yellow dragon spirit could block Zhang Yu for a moment, giving him a chance to release the Fire Essence Qi. Seeing this scene, he knew that he had lost the opportunity. He could only spread his five fingers and disperse the Fire Essence Qi.
If he released this magical skill, its power would be extraordinary, but he was forced by Zhang Yu to the point that he could not successfully use it from the beginning to the end. It was equivalent to a useless action.
However, with this Release Art, he had also removed the restraints and had a bit more power to spare.
In order to get rid of the unfavorable situation, when Zhang Yu's sword light came again, he cast a shadow substitution technique. The jade wall behind him flashed, and the shadow inside suddenly switched places with him. Wherever the sword light passed, it only scattered a shadow.
After successfully escaping from the sword blade, Pei Yue's figure floated in the jade wall for a while, and then walked out from another direction.
However, although he temporarily got rid of Zhang Yu's sword momentum, his face did not look good because he realized that he was not Zhang Yu's opponent at all. His identity was inevitably exposed.
At this moment, he heard footsteps and saw a Taoist with black hair and beard, holding a horsetail whisk, walking in from outside.
When Pei Yue saw him, his eyes moved. He pointed at Zhang Yu and said loudly, "Daoist Zuo, you came at the right time. This person is difficult to deal with. Please help me take him down!"
Daoist Zuo glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "Okay, Daoist Zuo, let me help you!"
He waved the horsetail whisk, and a large wave of water surged out in an instant. However, the direction of the wave was not toward Zhang Yu, but toward Pei Yue.
Pei Yue reacted very quickly. Perhaps he was also wary of Daoist Zuo. In a flash, he flew out like a light shadow and said coldly, "Daoist Zuo, what do you mean by this?"
Daoist Zuo put the horsetail whisk on his arm and said calmly, "Daoist Zhang is Xuanxiu. Where did Xuanxiu come from in Shangchen? The so-called Daoist cultivator in Shangchen is you, right? "
Pei Yue's eyes flickered and he snorted.
At this moment, Zhang Yu stood with his sword in hand and looked up at Pei Yue. He waved his sleeve, and the Heart Reflection Jade Robe immediately surged with rolling clouds and mist, which instantly spread throughout the hall.
Pei Yue did not know what it was, so he could only be vigilant and avoid it. At this moment, he was fighting one against two and felt that he had no chance of winning. He was already thinking about how to escape, but he only glanced and cursed secretly.
Daoist Zuo was very cunning. He stood in front of the door of the hall and did not move. This ensured that he could retreat and prevent him from going out.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong because the surrounding jade mist had completely covered the jade wall. This meant that his Shadow Substitution Technique could not be used.
After blocking Pei Yue's escape route with the jade mist, Zhang Yu took a step forward. As the starlight drifted, he suddenly moved close to Pei Yue and slashed with his sword again!
This time, Pei Yue could not retreat and could only dodge under the sword light. However, after dodging about ten swords, he felt that he could not withstand it. At this moment, Daoist Zuo's eyes flickered. He waved his horsetail whisk and a wave of water surged. Although only a little water fell on Pei Yue, it slowed him down slightly.
How could Zhang Yu miss such an opportunity? His eyes flickered and a sharp sword light flashed in the hall. Then, he took two steps back and threw the Shocking Heaven Sword back into its scabbard.
Pei Yue stood there motionless. After a moment, his life-like complexion faded and he turned into a clay statue.
After a short while, a cracking sound was heard. First, there was a crack on his neck. Then, it spread to his head and body. Pieces of clay fell down and finally, he collapsed to the ground.
At this very moment, the Daoist sitting cross-legged on the ground began to emit smoke. First, his skin and flesh shriveled up, turning into a charred skeleton. Then, it completely rotted and collapsed on the ground. Only the jade box in his hand remained there.
Daoist Zuo was surprised and asked, "What technique is this?"
Zhang Yu took a look and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a high-level External Incarnation Technique called 'Yin Image Clay Body'. I've only seen it in ancient books before. A Daoist cultivator places his consciousness, spirit, and even mana essence into it. This way, he can transform into another person and walk outside.
However, after doing this, his real body cannot be moved. He needs to use the jade treasure to protect his real body. He also needs to come back from time to time and hang on to it with a breath to prevent it from rotting. "
He looked up and said, "Thank you for your help just now, Daoist Zuo."
Daoist Zuo hurriedly said, "You're too polite. Shangchen cultivators are our greatest enemies. How can I just stand by and watch? With your ability, I'm sure you can kill them without my help. I dare not take advantage of you. "
He stroked his beard and said, "But there's one thing worth noting. That Pei Yue is not stupid. There was no Xuanxiu in Shangchen in the past, but he slandered you as a Shangchen cultivator. Would he really reveal such a big flaw?"
Zhang Yu knew what he meant and said, "Daoist Zuo means that he accidentally exposed the secrets of Shangchen?"
Daoist Zuo nodded and said, "After thinking about it, either there is a Xuanxiu in Shangchen now, or our people here have joined them. Therefore, he took it for granted.
But why would a normal Shangchen cultivator care about a Xuanxiu? It's impossible for him to truly see them as one of his own. Only those with truly profound cultivation can be valued by him. Even our cultivation might still be lacking by a level. Perhaps only … "When he reached this point, he paused and didn't continue speaking.
