Daoist Competition-Chapter 1090 - 285: Python Demon Beyond the Gorge Spies on the Heavenly Talisman
On top of the Cloud Peak, Yan Huixin watched Zhang Yan calmly take the token talisman and leave. As he glanced at his departing figure, a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "This Zhang Yan is truly a formidable enemy, but now is not the time to confront him."
Lady Qi, upon seeing her junior sister Ding Yu killed, was filled with overwhelming terror.
Her junior sister possessed remarkable talent and abilities, with Daoist cultivation not inferior to Lady Qi’s, and she had also mastered a powerful Divine Skill from their sect.
However, all of this was completely useless when facing Zhang Yan.
The Flying Sword moved with unparalleled swiftness, as fast as lightning, and Ding Yu, until the moment of her death, never had the chance to employ her Divine Skill.
The Demon Spirit fighting Lady Qi took the appearance of a tall and strong man, although stripped of his physical form, his eyes remained clear and his intellect intact. Seeing her distracted, he seized the opportunity to unleash several Dao Gang Thunders at her Protective Treasure Light. Though it didn’t break through, it caused her chest to churn painfully, almost making her vomit blood.
At this point, Lady Qi lost all will to fight, swallowed the metallic taste rising in her throat, and launched a rainbow beam, retreating towards the east, disappearing without a trace in a moment.
The Demon Spirit did not pursue but instead caught Yan Huixin and headed towards Qingdan Peak.
Wu Huanchen saw Zhang Yan break in and instantly kill three people, which frightened him to the core. Fortunately, Zhang Yan seemed disinterested in finding trouble with him and left with the token talisman, leading Wu to count his lucky stars.
Now, he didn’t want to linger even for a moment, eager to escape, and started madly striking Elder Shen with hundreds of hits.
Elder Shen had no intention of fighting to the death, so he rode a gust of wind to fly away.
After pushing Elder Shen away, Wu Huanchen put away his weapon, leaped up, and used a tunneling light to escape towards the Chengyuan Canyon Entrance.
However, he had just killed a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Bu Tian Pavilion, and the Ten Sects of Xuanmen would not easily let him get away.
An Nascent Soul Elder from the Bu Tian Pavilion had already arrived at Qingdan Peak, first taking a piece of Jade in his hand to capture the drifting Primordial Spirit of the middle-aged cultivator into it, then with a cold snort and sleeves vibrating with Gang Wind, he pursued the direction of Wu’s escape.
Wu Huanchen had barely traveled a few miles when he suddenly heard a bird cry above. Turning his head, he saw an enormous bird covered in snow-white feathers descending upon him, with an old Daoist with white hair and beard standing on its back, looking at him coldly.
At this moment, another Green Light shot down from the Taihao Sect’s peak, revealing an old Daoist with a stern expression. He shouted loudly, "You dare to kill my Xuanmen Sect disciple? How can we let you escape? Surrender now, or if I make a move, you’ll be utterly destroyed!"
All three of them had three groups of Gang Clouds above their heads, clearly Nascent Soul Second Realm cultivators. Seeing this made Wu Huanchen’s heart tremble, and he cried out fiercely, shaking his hand to reveal a Treasure Light from his bosom, and opened a Treasure Umbrella.
The umbrella was embedded with over a thousand Bright Pearls, which emitted innumerable Spirit Lights in an instant, dazzling anyone who looked at it.
The three Nascent Soul Elders were momentarily distracted, but quickly recovered. Upon seeing Wu’s refusal to surrender, they each launched a Dharma Treasure down at him.
The three treasures combined, causing the Treasure Umbrella to be battered, with Star Fires scattering around and over a hundred Bright Pearls shattering in an instant.
However, Wu Huanchen had prepared this Dharma Treasure specifically to aid in his escape after obtaining the token talisman, and its defensive capability was unbelievably strong. It withstood several attacks from the elders of the three sects, allowing him to break through.
After much effort, he escaped the Chengyuan Gorge. Fearing that the Ten Sects of Xuanmen would persist in pursuing him, he flew at full speed for quite a while, and seeing that the three elders were nowhere in sight, he finally slowed down.
Looking at the Treasure Umbrella in his hand, he saw that over half of the thousand Bright Pearls were shattered into powder, the rest dim and cracked, indicating the treasure was completely destroyed.
He had spent nearly a hundred years slowly accumulating these Sea Yin Jade Beads, now all destroyed in one day, causing him great pain.
Yet compared to this, failing to seize the token talisman left him even more dejected. He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh to the heavens, crestfallen, and continued his escape.
After traveling for an hour, he saw ahead a Purple Robed Cultivator with long brows and starry eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura, standing firmly in midair. Above the cultivator were two rapidly swirling Gang Clouds, with a woman standing behind him.
When Wu Huanchen got a clear look at the woman, he was startled, thinking, "Lady Qi? Didn’t she escape before me? How is she here?"
