Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 335 - 243 Daoist Friend’s Deadly Tribulation Approaches, Tao Qian Shows Saintliness Again_2
There was no place where he had demonstrated his combat prowess yet, but the Treasure Wheel floating behind his head was noteworthy.
Many aunts and uncles at Spirit Treasure Mountain Gate, considering Lian Jing'er's potential and the Cultivation Tribulation Technique he refined, fed him numerous rare treasure materials to forge an Exotic Treasure he carried with him, named the Creation Treasure Wheel. This artifact could grow as Lian Jing'er grew and currently had many marvelous uses, such as releasing the Shadowless Stealth Divine Light at this moment.
It could disrupt one's Divine Soul perception and allow one to stealthily conceal oneself.
Even for Tao Qian himself, if not for Lian Jing'er's active guidance, it would be difficult to track down these four individuals.
A circle of Divine Light, and on this wall, Tao Qian suddenly appeared, embracing Yunrong.
As he turned around, he saw the worried Jin Xiuju. Upon seeing Tao Qian and Yunrong, she immediately wanted to ask for help, but seemed to think of something and then stopped herself.
Clearly, the girl knew that neither before nor now could she command the two impressive Transcend Mortality Cultivators.
Moreover, she had no valid reason.
However, she remained silent, and Tao Qian took the initiative to ask,
"Xiuzhu, do you want me and Yunrong to make a move to save your fiancé?"
"Senior Jin Lin must not, Xiuzhu, although naive, is also aware that battles of magic are no trivial matter. That Evil Ghost uses the title 'Ogre' and must be fierce and terrifying. This calamity was brought upon by Brother Zhang himself; how could we let Senior Jin Lin and Sister Yunrong risk themselves to save him? It's up to Brother Zhang's fate now. If he also perishes here, it must be because my Jin Xiuzhu's blessings are thin."
Jin Xiuzhu replied, her expression numb and bewildered, clearly resigned to her fate.
Originally, she was simply a wealthy merchant's daughter who had suffered successive blows, and her unsure behavior was quite normal.
Tao Qian also sighed in pity. Although the misfortune at the Jin Mansion had nothing to do with him personally, even without his involvement, the Ninth Prince would still have chosen to target Jin Mansion and played out that act, involving Jin Tianyang and leading to the massacre of his entire family.
Nevertheless, as an "involved party," Tao Qian looked at Jin Xiuzhu and then at the precarious Zhang Mansion.
The Cultivation Tribulation Technique inside him started to operate automatically at this moment.
"Zhang Baisui, as a Tribulation Leader, signifies great potential to be unearthed. Whether it concerns the Ninth Prince or his father, Zhang Jiudeng, this suggests disaster, as well as great opportunities and benefits."
"Previously, I couldn't find a point of entry, but now seems just right."
These two thoughts flashed through Tao Qian's mind.
Then, he abruptly said to Jin Xiuzhu:
"Rescue is possible, but we must wait for the right moment."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xiuju's face immediately brightened somewhat.
Just as she was pondering what a suitable moment would be, suddenly, a huge commotion came to her ears.
Not far from Zhang Mansion, an outbreak of shouts and killing arose.
Demon Light, Divine Radiance, Red Clouds, curses... tangled and battled several miles away.
While she was puzzled, the noisy voices of cultivators who were far enough to enjoy the spectacle yet still close, as interpreted by Lian Jing'er as fluctuating information, cycled through phrase after phrase to her:
"Another battle of spells has erupted; it seems like the remnants from Red Cloud Sect have encroached here, setting up a sorcery array, trapping the devil cultivator sent by the Ninth Prince to assist Zhang Mansion."
"What is this about? Are the remnants of Red Cloud Sect colluding with Six Paths Sect? Just to facilitate Li Qingpan's killing of Zhang Baisui?"
"Who knows? Anyway, that libertine is doomed."
"Look, the Buddha Beads have shattered."
...
Only at that again shielded by the Golden Light territory of Zhang Mansion, the Heavenly Immortal Dao's Zhu Quanfu and others also heard the disturbance.
In an instant, they understood that reinforcements had come but were trapped.
Although they knew the Ninth Prince would send more people, it would certainly be too late.
Worse still, accompanied by an odd noise.
Everyone then saw the Vajra Buddha Beads that had been thrown out early to immobilize Li Qingpan suddenly explode.
As the Buddha Light disappeared, the terrifying hungry ghost immediately hissed and stretched out its bony yet immensely huge green-haired ghost claw towards Zhang Mansion.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Quanfu and the others were immediately terrified.
The next moment!
These few men spontaneously withdrew the Golden Light Protective Shield and then each chose a direction to frantically flee.
The leading Zhu Quanfu was even shouting loudly:
"The chief culprit, Zhang Baisui, is over there; leave it to Senior Li to deal with."
"We, Heavenly Immortal Dao, hereby sever ties with the Zhang Family today; please do not harm the wrong person, Senior."
These shouted phrases, thus also surprised the watching demon cultivators at the boldness of these individuals.
Crisis upon them!
Betrayed his master and fled!
Such shameful behavior, yet he dared to break with Zhang Jiudeng on behalf of the Heavenly Immortal Dao. It was obviously just a ploy to deceive people. Only a fool would believe him.
However, their public abandonment of Zhang Baisui indeed delivered a heavy blow to their own sect.
The cultivators could already imagine, once the news reached Ancient Qin Province, how the great warlord Zhang Jiudeng would madly pursue the cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Dao.
Zhu Quanfu and his companions had a good idea.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the ferocity of Li Qingpan.
Right then, a chilling wind arose, and among the whistling sounds, a group of Heavenly Immortal Dao cultivators who hadn't escaped far were frozen in place. Then, with a swift motion like that of grabbing sugar beans, those green-haired ghost claws scooped them up and tossed them into a tusked mouth. Accompanied by the crackling sounds, fresh blood and flesh dripped from the corners of the mouth. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The cultivators witnessed as Li Qingpan munched down a Transcend Mortality Cultivator and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
After getting his fill, this hungry ghost then set its sights on the main culprit, Zhang Baisui.
The ghost claw tore through the air, and it was at that moment,
Tao Qian's voice suddenly pierced into Jin Xiuju's ears.
"The time has come!"
As she spoke, Jin Xiuju suddenly felt her body being moved out of the range of the Shadowless Stealth Divine Light, instantaneously appearing beside Zhang Baisui.
She was quick-witted, instinctively shouting,
"Don't kill Brother Zhang!"
"Senior Jin Lin, save me!"
"Roar!"
Almost immediately as Jin Xiuju's youthful voice rang out, a terrifying dragon roar followed, echoing throughout the territory of Zhang Mansion.
Soon after, an abnormal celestial phenomenon occurred, dark heavy clouds suddenly appeared, covering the blood moon. Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning followed, with blazing white lightning turning into endless sharp blades, cleaving the territory that was being ravaged by fierce ghosts, turning it into something resembling the Nine Nether Purgatory.
From within the clouds, a massive figure resembling both a dragon and a horse burst forth, heading straight for Li Qingpan.
Seeing this, Li Qingpan immediately roared hoarsely, "A mere half-bred dragon from the Transcend Mortality Realm dares to show itself! I'll eat you alive..."
Li Qingpan, possessing the cultivation of the Cavernous Mystery Realm, clearly had a much more terrifying presence than Tao Qian's Bo Dragon.
When he got angry, a frightening cold wind blew fiercely, instantly freezing the celestial phenomena induced by Tao Qian.
Also, a pair of immensely huge terrifying ghost claws, much like seizing a serpent, firmly grasped Tao Qian's body, and it looked like they were about to tear him apart, scattering Dragon Blood and Dragon Meat everywhere. Even some fearless Demon Cultivators had already run down to collect some Dragon Blood and Dragon Meat.
But, just at that moment, a scene that previously appeared at Jin Mansion now occurred over the sky of Zhang Mansion.
An extremely dazzling display of blue-white rainbow light and the radiance of thunder burst forth, and in an instant, all the cultivators in the territory were blinded by the flash.
Although Li Qingpan sensed the explosion of the thunder, he did not feel threatened.
Having been a ghost cultivator at Beimang Mountain, he had refined an Evil Technique before and collected the flesh of various Exotic Beasts to feed his hungry ghost.
He had killed a Bo Dragon before.
He knew very well the power of the Bloodline Divine Power of such Devil Cultivators.
"Not bad, but not enough to hurt me."
"I'll eat this Bo Dragon first, then capture that little creature."
As Li Qingpan thought this and was also using his immense strength to pull and tear the Bo Dragon's body to stuff it into his mouth,
Suddenly, a very calm voice, imbued with the rhyme of Dao, entered his ears.
"Daoist, your tribulation has arrived."
Among those designated to die by the Nine True Spirit Sound, there was the Ghost Cultivator refining the Evil Technique.
Li Qingpan was mighty, but having been heavily injured by Tianjiang Immortal before. Hearing the Spirit Sound, his Primordial Spirit briefly stagnated.
And it was in this brief moment, he was doomed.
Mixed with the thunder of the Bo Dragon, the "Silent Divine Thunder" roared and exploded, flipping over his hungry ghost form.
Tao Qian, breaking free from the ghost claw, twisted his body and in an instant appeared above Li Qingpan, stepping on his skull. As he let out a proud dragon roar, his dragon mouth opened wide, and a "Dragon Ball" emitting intense Dragon Qi and golden light was ferociously spewed out. Its contained immense force mercilessly slammed into Li Qingpan.
The cultivators only heard a dull thud, then saw Li Qingpan's giant hungry ghost head burst open like a smashed watermelon, his Cavernous Mystery Spirit barely showed any traces before it was completely disintegrated by the residual force within the Dragon Ball.
Those Demon Cultivators who had hoped to collect some dragon meat now looked up to see chunks of green-haired, sinister ghostly dry flesh and mottled broken bones raining down like a torrential downpour.
ps: More to come.
