Daoist Competition

Ding Daoist pondered for a moment, cupped his hands toward Yang Bingqing, and said, "Since Brother Daoist fears, let Ding and Miss Situ go together, while Brother Daoist stays here."

Situ Rong saw Yang Bingqing’s expression slightly change, smiled sweetly, and pointed to the ground, saying, "Brother Daoist Yang, even if this person wants to kill us, it doesn’t matter. Little sister has this ’rouge cloud’ flying escape green, even a flying sword cannot catch up. If you still feel uneasy, you can just stay farther away. Besides, we cannot ignore this matter. If the elder from the alliance asks about it, we can’t act ignorant either. Brother Daoist, don’t you agree?"

Yang Bingqing thought it over carefully, felt that it could work with this Dharma Treasure’s assistance, thus sighed and said, "Alright then, I will go back with you both."

Meanwhile, elsewhere, with a command from Bai Kechuan, the five Hua Dan cultivators surrounding them all mobilized, each casting their Dharma Treasures toward Zhang Yan, while those Xuan Guang practitioners also took action, causing treasure light to flash wildly and Qi to surge like a tide.

They originally thought this strike would surely leave Zhang Yan no escape, able to take him down in one fell swoop. Yet unexpectedly, as those dozens of Dharma Treasures fell, they had not even come near him when suddenly the sound of the rushing river and sea roared, a beam of water light rolled out from nowhere, like jade waves tumbling, mighty rivers rushing, majestic in momentum.

Now Zhang Yan had mastered the Supreme Mysterious Five Elements True Skill, backing by the Essence Qi supplement from the condensation of the True Imprint of Dharma Power, the power of the Five Elements True Light exceeded before, those Dharma Treasures cast by Xuan Guang Realm Cultivators were swept away by the surging tide, disappearing instantly.

Moreover, the treasures cast by the five Hua Dan cultivators barely held for a moment, after a few struggles, were engulfed within, severing their Heart and Spirit connection,

When the Water Element True Light retracted, Zhang Yan stood in the void, with his Daoist robe fluttering in the wind, expression unchanged, and all the attacking treasures had been swept clean.

This scene couldn’t help but greatly alarm those Lie Xuan Sect disciples, unconsciously retreating, breaking the encirclement.

Zhang Yan noticed their sudden panic, showing astonishment and indecision in their demeanor, he couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised. In East Splendor Continent, fighting against opponents, even if they weren’t his match, he had never seen any cultivator come with such unbearable performance.

However, he did not know that there was a reason behind this.

Central Pillar Continent Sects had several encounters with Shaoqing Sect, despite any advancement in cultivation techniques, were not its match. Yet with a Dharma Treasure in hand, it was different, even a disciple with low cultivation, possessing a powerful Dharma Treasure, could immediately overpower peers.

Moreover, Central Pillar Continent contained countless mystical Spiritual Treasures, never short of material for crafting Dharma Treasures. Bu Tian Pavilion, one of the ten Great Sects of East Splendor Continent, frequently had disciples coming to exchange Artifact Refining methods,

Thus, disciples of the Three Sects, as long as having several Cultivation achievements, nearly everyone had Dharma Treasure in hand, far more affluent than East Splendor Continent.

It could be said, over half the combat strength of this continent’s cultivators relied on their Dharma Treasures, suddenly being broken by Zhang Yan, they lost all fighting spirit, instantly disrupted their formation.

In the scene, only Bai Kechuan remained composed, though unaware of Zhang Yan’s Daoist Skill, he relied on having Chenhu Card in hand, along with Treasure Robe protecting him, feeling no fear at all.

Watching the crowd scatter, he cursed inwardly, just about to reprimand, when he saw Zhang Yan point with his hand, a sharp cold light flying swiftly. He never expected such a change, realized too late, just felt a tickle in his throat, touched with his hand, grasped a handful of blood, shocked greatly, if not for the Treasure Robe, just this move would have severed him completely, involuntary exclaimed, "You are a Sword Cultivator?"

Zhang Yan was surprised too, that sword light just a probe, issued casually, not intended to injure, not expecting this person to stand there motionless.

He couldn’t help but shake his head, in a battle array against opponents, how could one stand still?

If cultivations were vastly different, that would be understandable, but with similar levels, would they allow the opponent to attack freely?

Zhang Yan, despite having the God Contract Technique and treasure clothes protection, would dodge whenever possible, rarely taking direct hits.

If earlier it was not one sword, but sixteen sword beams striking together, this person would likely have been slain.

When Bai Kechuan realized Zhang Yan was a Sword Cultivator, fear grew in his heart, daring not to stand so close any longer, hurriedly retreating several dozen meters.

He dared not take risks, first circulated his Mana, pushed the Protective Treasure Light to the limit, then shook his wide sleeve, called out, "Arise!" lifting Chenhu Card into the air.

As the object appeared, golden flowers rained down, resembling a figure emerging above it, though the face difficult to discern, vaguely resembled the Yiya Upper Master, this figure suddenly opened its eyes, emitted blue, purple, red, and blue light, moving like long snakes, swathing downwards.

The nearby more than fifty cultivators saw this object, their expressions changed dramatically, scattering to flee.

Wherever those four-colored lights swept, fire, wind, water, and thunder erupted simultaneously, shaking the void, booming continuously.

Bai Kechuan showed a strained expression, seemingly unable to fully wield this Sword Treasure, amidst the Thunder Radiance, a disciple couldn’t dodge, was hit by the light, immediately screamed, was shattered completely.

Seeing the force, Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "There is some skill in this."

Calmly sword light flashed together, like an electric arrow shot away, instantly leaving the light behind, transformed into fierce Radiance, charging for Bai Kechuan’s face.

Bai Kechuan still stood unfazed, Zhang Yan’s sword struck the protective treasure light, reverberating the light without harm.

Clenching his teeth, brought the four-colored Radiant Energy over again, sweeping towards Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan shook his head, sword light together, avoided the Qi Radiance, after several dodges, moved a hundred meters away, standing within clouds, said calmly, "If that’s all you can do, there’s no need to fight further, I will take you away."
