Daoist Competition-Chapter 1097 - 288: The Might of Six Insects, Treasure Seed Shocks Demons (Part 2)
Yan Huixin looked around. Although those exotic beasts were formidable, knowing what they were in advance meant there were ways to counter them. He thought for a moment and said, "Since we’ve already figured out their details, there’s no harm in calling Junior Lu back. Right now is not the time for a life-or-death struggle; fighting more is of no benefit."
Feng Haiyang waved his large sleeve and said with a smile, "There’s no need. Junior Lu is always wise, sees the bigger picture, understands when to advance and retreat, and has ways to preserve his life. There’s no need to worry about him; just watch closely."
At the top of the peak over at the Yuan Shen Sect side, Ms. Xu donned in a light gauze, danced like a butterfly, gracefully drifting among the clouds.
She repeatedly pulled open the Vermilion Phoenix Bow in her hand, releasing rays of red light, shooting them towards Tong Yingyuan above the Dome Sky.
But each time the arrows reached him, the green jade gourd under his feet would emit bursts of golden light from talismans, effortlessly blocking them outside.
The gourd under Tong Yingyuan’s feet was as large as a small hill, from afar, it looks like a mountain suspended in the Heavenly Vault. He appeared as a beautiful youth standing on this treasure gourd, his garment fluttering, debonair and graceful, akin to an exiled immortal. Yet Ms. Xu’s figure was petite, less than one foot tall, appearing exceptionally small—a stark contrast between the two.
He seemingly did not care about Ms. Xu, standing there without any intention of making a move, glancing at the red glow shattering against the talisman again, he said indifferently, "If you keep attacking like this, how can you ever injure me?"
Ms. Xu blinked, posed a pitiful look, and said, "True Master Tong, I don’t have your vast powers, only some meager Daoist cultivation."
Tong Yingyuan was about to speak when suddenly, the voice of his sect elder sounded within his mind, "Junior Brother Tong, kill this woman!"
Immediately, a sharp gleam flashed deep in his pupils, and as the killing intent arose within him, his whole demeanor transformed completely!
The two green Gang Clouds above his head, originally bowl-sized clusters, suddenly swirled like tornadoes, rose straight into the blue sky, and expanded to an acre in size, emitting hundreds of zhang of cold treasure light, appearing as if thousands of flower trees swayed within.
He pointed downward, and an object flew out from the Gang Cloud, heading towards Ms. Xu. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
This item seemed like a green jade bead, with a faint purple aura flowing inside, surrounded by treasure light flickering intermittently and accompanied by thunderous sounds echoing continuously. Ms. Xu took one look and felt her whole body go numb.
A spectating Demon Sect elder suddenly changed color upon seeing this object, swiftly stood up, and shouted urgently, "Not good! It’s the Jade Purple Sun Seed, niece, hurry and dodge!"
Due to restrictions of the contract, at the Sword Fighting Conference, all sect disciples were forbidden from using True Artifacts. However, in terms of Mystical Artifacts, the "Jade Purple Sun Seed" ranked in the top ten in the East Splendor Continent, capable of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator in one strike.
Tong Yingyuan, unrestrained in deploying this treasure now, clearly did not wish to entangle with Ms. Xu further, seeking to kill her quickly and end this battle.
Ms. Xu, unaware of this item’s danger earlier and shaken by its thunderous sounds, found it a step too late to evade now, hurriedly raised her hand to unleash a Smoke Net.
However, the treasure seed suddenly emitted a circle of faint purple brilliance, with a loud bang, remotely shattering the Smoke Net into fragments, the momentum unchanged, in an instant, landed precisely on Ms. Xu, striking her into a pulp.
Tong Yingyuan’s consciousness instructed, calling the treasure seed back, suspending above him. Yet no joy appeared on his face, he merely looked around, seemingly searching for something.
Not far away, a faint shadow gradually solidified and Ms. Xu’s form reappeared. However, now her fair skin was flushed with red, beads of sweat emerged on her forehead, within her beautiful eyes lingered a trace of fear.
If not for quickly invoking the Marvelous Techniques of the Yuan Shen Sect moments ago, she might truly have met her demise under this treasure.
Yan Huixin was also spectating at this moment, yet he clapped his hand, exclaiming "Good," pointing below, saying with a smile, "Ms. Xu can be said to have achieved a feat. I think Tong Yingyuan’s greatest method should be this item."
The Taihao Sect’s Daoist Skills are varied, and all sect disciples are different. With Ms. Xu’s Daoist cultivation, being able to withstand under a renowned cultivator like Tong Yingyuan is already challenging. Attempting to gauge his depths is evidently difficult.
Yet unexpectedly, it turned out that this prominent disciple of the Taihao Sect had such a treasure in hand, which was indeed a joyful surprise.
Feng Haiyang pondered a bit, then asked with a smile, "Junior Brother, how many Jade Purple Sun Seeds do you think this person may have?"
Yan Huixin’s body shook, startled he said, "Senior Brother is suggesting that this treasure seed... this person actually has more than one?"
He thought for a moment, then spoke, "I’ve heard this item bears fruit once every thousand years, each fruit yields three seeds. The Taihao Sect has been established for four thousand years, having acquired a total of twelve seeds. It seems to hope to use this item to overshadow the Three Great Sects of Xuanmen. If that were truly the case, one seed could not afford to be lost lightly, let alone several? Tong Yingyuan is merely a Nascent Soul Disciple, how could he be entrusted with such responsibility?"
Feng Haiyang smiled faintly, not responding.
Now within the venue, Tong Yingyuan looked solemn, holding a spell in hand, the green Gang Cloud above rolling, slowly raising a multitude of Thunder Wood Swords from within, each about half a foot long, spiraling swiftly, barely fewer than three hundred in number.
"Bihua Thunderwood Sword?"
Feng Haiyang’s eyes narrowed. He recognized this sword; this treasure specifically breaks techniques of stealth and concealment. As long as it discerns the cultivator’s Qi Mechanism, it will gather swiftly. It is indeed Ms. Xu’s nemesis. He immediately turned around and instructed an elder of the Yuan Shen Sect, "Elder Xie, quickly summon Junior Sister Xu back."
Within the Six Sects, he seemed to hold high prestige. Upon hearing, the elder did not question the reason, immediately initiated a spell to summon.
Ms. Xu initially intended to maneuver a bit longer, yet upon receiving the sense, she did not hesitate, instantly transformed into light smoke to drift away, returning to the Demon Cloud.
With her departure, Tong Yingyuan snorted but did not pursue, first withdrawing the ongoing Daoist Skill, then reaching out to grasp the token talisman suspended at the peak.
