Daoist Competition

Tong Yingyuan looked at the two people, and said bitterly, "Master Yang, Mrs. Yang, do not be discouraged. We needn’t fight him desperately. Let’s see how long he can pester us. My fellow Daoists from Xuanmen should be inside this Star Stone by now. The Demon Sect has only six evildoers here. Let’s see who can outlast whom."

Yang Bi did not want to fight Feng Haiyang to the death either, and upon hearing this, he immediately agreed, "Brother Tong makes sense."

At this moment, Duan Liao suddenly cried out in distress, exclaiming, "Senior Brother, fellow Daoists, my treasure is barely hanging on."

The three of them turned around to look, and their expressions changed slightly. The Banana Leaf originally emitted a myriad of strands of green light, extending five zhang outward. Yet within the moments while they spoke, it was gradually worn down under the incessant attacks from those devils, leaving less than a zhang.

Tong Yingyuan glanced at Duan Liao and noticed the intense pain on his face, and said with a sneer, "Junior Brother, don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll compensate you back." Saying this, he manipulated the Green Jade Gourd beneath his feet, heading straight up to the Heavenly Vault.

Duan Liao muttered to himself, "You sure know how to talk about compensation easily. How about giving me a Purple Sun Seed? It’d be much simpler."

He mumbled indistinctly, and the Yang couple did not know what he said. After thanking him, they flew up on sword light, emerging from beneath the Banana Leaf and also rushed into the sky.

When the three arrived at the top of the sky, they saw Feng Haiyang standing high with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply, saying calmly, "Gentlemen, it’s time to determine the victor."

After saying this, he smiled, and suddenly transformed into a wisp of yellow smoke, drifting into the clouds, and disappeared in an instant.

Tong Yingyuan sneered, having seen Feng Haiyang perform such Daoist Skills several times before, he was not surprised and was about to use the Bihua Thunderwood Sword to break this technique when suddenly a devil appeared from the side, daring to bite his arm.

Even with the Protective Treasure Light shrouding his body, Tong Yingyuan dared not let the bite hit, immediately dodging to evade.

As the smoke cleared in heaven, Feng Haiyang reappeared from the void, looked at the three below, raised a fist gently against his chest, shouted loudly, and then spat out a white light about three chi long from his mouth.

The Yang couple only glanced, and instantly felt dizzy and disoriented, their bodies swaying, taking them a moment to recover, greatly alarmed, they instinctively summoned their tunneling light, and fled far away.

Lucky to be farther away, Tong Yingyuan saw clearly, but for the moment, his limbs were weak and aching, unable to move.

This is the Nether Spring Sect’s Divine Skill "Scattering Soul Triple Annihilation Qi," causing cultivators to be confused, and those with low cultivation to faint on the spot.

If a cultivator is in full spirit and strength, this Qi is not particularly formidable, but if one’s mana has greatly depleted, they will immediately fall victim to it.

To break this skill is actually not difficult. One must close their eyes when the caster speaks, thus avoiding it. However, within thousands of years, no Xuanmen Sect Disciples had seen this Divine Skill, and the three immediately suffered a great loss.

Feng Haiyang descended straight down from the clouds, arriving before Tong Yingyuan in no time, glanced at him, and waved his big sleeve, instantly unleashing a vast whirlwind of black wind and smoke.

This gas mass slowly moved forward, first encountered the Green Jade Gourd, which could not withstand, and its Treasure Light Talismans were shattered. As the smoke swept past, its spiritual nature was completely abolished, its color transforming into gray white, crumbling into powder and falling segment by segment.

Tong Yingyuan’s face abruptly turned deathly pale, his body grew cold, he struggled desperately, wanting to evade, but unfortunately, his limbs were uncontrollable, he could only watch as the gas mass approached, enveloping him, in a moment, his physical body and Primordial Spirit were utterly dissipated by the wind, no longer existent, leaving only a golden token talisman drifting down.

When Feng Haiyang used this Divine Skill, he himself also exposed a flaw, suddenly two sword lights flashed over, slicing him into three segments.

Duan Liao below showed a dumbfounded expression, watching the scene in disbelief, after a moment, he snapped back, hurriedly activating his tunneling light to retrieve the token talisman in his hand, simultaneously beckoning three Jade Purple Sun Seeds as well.

However, to utilize these objects, a sacrificial refinement is necessary, removing Tong Yingyuan’s prohibition within, which cannot be done hastily.

Just then, the sound of great water was heard, Tribulation Water surrounding him surged with tides, flooding toward his location, seemingly about to engulf him.

He turned pale with horror, shouting inwardly, "This isn’t good!" hastily summoning the Banana Leaf once again, like rolling up a mat, wrapping himself tightly to keep the devils outside.

Yang Bi circled the sky once, decisively said to Zhu Xin beside him, "Wife, let’s leave!"

Zhu Xin was startled, puzzled, "Husband, what do you mean?"

Yang Bi whispered, "Feng Haiyang has been continuously using Divine Skills, his mana depletes, we as a couple can take this chance to escape, and once we’ve found fellow Daoists in Xuanmen, it’s not too late to fight him again."

Zhu Xin seemed somewhat resistant, covering her mouth with delicate hands, "Husband, how can you be like this? Are we just going to leave Brother Duan and Nie Daoist behind?"

Yang Bi mocked with a smile, "Can’t you see what Brother Duan is planning? If he leaves later, are you and I as a couple going to be left here to face Feng Haiyang alone? If it comes to that, you and I as a couple would be no different from him."

Upon his reminder, Zhu Xin immediately understood, she glanced at the Banana Leaf, silently nodded, summoned a sword light, and flew into the clouds with Yang Bi, vanishing in moments.

Hidden within the Banana Leaf, Duan Liao saw the treasure could hold out no longer, picked up the token talisman, mumbled incantations, after about ten breaths, he felt all his mana flood into the token talisman, immediately collapsing onto the Cloud Raft.

At this moment, the mana within his body depleted entirely, without a bit of resistance, watching the dancing token talisman, he screamed inwardly, "Quick, quick, quick, quick..."

After a while longer, the Banana Leaf could resist no more, a small crack split open, and Tribulation Water began to seep in.

Duan Liao was utterly terrified, just as he thought he had no luck of surviving, the token talisman suddenly emitted a golden light, enveloping him and Nie Gui both, with a slight sway, it easily broke through the devil encirclement outside, transforming into a brilliant rainbow and flew off, its speed unmatched, in a flash, it had escaped from the Star Stone, passing through Gang Wind, akin to a meteor, plummeting toward Chengyuan Valley beneath Extreme Sky.
