Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

At the same time, a vicious gleam flashed in True Monarch Red Flame’s eyes as he jabbed out with a finger.

The Red Flame Magical Sword before him let out a high, piercing dragon’s roar, transforming into a scarlet flame dragon, claws bared and fangs gaping as it tore through the air, charging in from the flank with a thunderous bellow!

True Master Shou Yang let out a low growl; the fire qilin Dharma Aspect behind him instantly merged with his true body, and his whole person turned into a battle qilin several zhang tall, hooves treading fire, lunging through the air to kill, its might terrifying!

Facing the combined strike of three Tier Four Cultivators, Shen Xuan’s expression was as calm and cold as ice.

The Storage Pouch at his waist flashed repeatedly with light, and over a hundred Ice Soul Spirit Crystals shot out, in an instant laying down a small Array around him.

The Spirit Crystals simultaneously erupted with a blinding blue radiance; pure, vast Ice Spiritual Power surged forth, condensing layer upon layer, and in a flash formed an Ice Spirit Shield of Profound Ice over a zhang thick, crystalline and translucent, firmly protecting him at its center.

"Boom!"

The Red Lotus silk scarf struck first, and the ice shield shuddered violently, cracks spreading densely over its surface as shards of ice flew in all directions.

Just as the ice shield barely managed to withstand the Red Lotus scarf, Shen Xuan’s figure suddenly swayed!

"Roar!"

A low, deep roar rang out.

Shen Xuan’s body swelled as it met the wind, in an instant turning into a giant man over ten zhang tall, with a bluish face and tusk-like fangs!

He was clad in the Flowing-Gold Flood-Dragon Flame Armor, and gripped an Exotic Cold Iron Rod in his hands.

Facing the pouncing fire qilin that True Master Shou Yang had transformed into, the giant man neither dodged nor avoided; he swung the Exotic Cold Iron Rod up with both hands, bringing with it a shrill, tearing whistle as it cleaved through the air, and with a force that could split mountains and rend seas, he smashed it down viciously toward the qilin’s head!

"Retreat!"

True Master Shou Yang’s heart blared with alarm.

The Exotic Cold Iron Rod was emanating a terrifying Power sufficient to threaten the very origin of his Dharma Aspect.

He did not dare to take it head-on; the qilin’s body gave a strange twist in midair, forcibly halting its pounce as it pulled back in a rapid retreat.

This brief instant was precisely the opening Shen Xuan wanted!

With a Demon God–like body, he stepped forward once, the earth cracking beneath his foot, and closely pursued the retreating fire qilin.

A thick, ancient divine tree of ten thousand years blocked his path.

"Hmph, with this Profound Wood Imprison-Immortal Array, you think to trap me?"

Seeing the fire qilin use the divine tree to hide its body, a cold light exploded in Shen Xuan’s eyes as a rainbow-glowing feather fan had already been brought forth.

It was none other than the Five Flames and Seven Beasts Fan!

Shen Xuan silently circulated Spiritual Power and swung it hard toward that ten-thousand-year divine tree!

"Whoosh!"

In that instant, five kinds of True Flame, including Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire and True Sun Flame, erupted out all at once.

Augmented by the Dao Patterns of the seven divine birds’ feathers on the fan, fire borrowed the force of wind, and wind bolstered the might of fire!

A terrifying tide of flame that could burn the heavens and boil the seas crashed fiercely against the green Wood Spiritual Wall formed by that ten-thousand-year divine tree, with a momentum that smashed through rotten wood!

"Boom!"

The incomparably tenacious Wood Spiritual Wall, under the burning of these True Flames specialized in restraining Wood Attribute, was forcibly melted open into a gap several zhang across!

The flow of Spiritual Power sustaining the great Array instantly went chaotic, and the entire green light shield shook violently.

Like lightning, Shen Xuan’s figure flashed; at the very moment when the Red Lotus scarf completely crushed the ice shield, he darted out through that fiery breach, escaping the control of the Profound Wood Imprison-Immortal Array!

"Profound Ice, don’t you dare run!"

True Monarch Red Flame’s eyes almost burst.

All his hope of body-snatching was pinned on this; how could he allow Shen Xuan to escape?

True Monarch Red Flame ignored the dull ache in his Nascent Soul, driving the flame dragon in relentless pursuit as he shot out through the breach.

Right at this moment, Shen Xuan sent forth Dao Sound, reverberating over the entire Bright Flame Sect’s mountain gate.

"Red Lotus! Red Flame! Shou Yang! I, Guo Shiyan, for your Bright Flame Sect have transmitted Dao and taught Techniques, improved Puppets, turned the tide of battle, and earned resounding merits!"

"Yet today you three actually set up a scheme to besiege and kill me, intending to seize my Dao Body and let Red Flame body-snatch me! Where is Heavenly justice? Where is mortal fairness?"

His voice shook hundreds of li, the mountain ranges echoing.

In truth, he had long anticipated Red Flame’s designs, and could have simply left the sect and fled on his own.

Only, to leave just like that, his heart would not be at ease.

Among the three Tier Four Cultivators of Bright Flame Sect, only True Monarch Red Lotus warranted a slight wariness from him.

One True Monarch Red Flame with a heavily wounded Dao Body that could scarcely remain stable, and one True Master Shou Yang who had just stepped into the Divine Power Realm.

What was there to fear!

"Silence! Guo Shiyan, you Demon Race spy, secretly colluding with the Demon Race, the evidence is ironclad! Today your plot is exposed, and you still dare bewail here, spewing demonic lies to confuse the crowd and slander us!"

True Monarch Red Lotus’s furious shout likewise spread by Daoist Technique, resounding up to the clouds.

If this matter were to spread.

The entire Bright Flame Sect would lose all face, its reputation utterly ruined.

Thinking of this, True Monarch Red Lotus led True Monarch Red Flame and True Master Shou Yang, refusing to relent, once more surrounding Shen Xuan in the high sky.
