"How dare these juniors of the Chan Sect bully me like this! I'll fight them to the death!"

Qiongxiao was furious as she watched the attacks raining down on her.

Even though she had planned to take action before, she never intended to do anything to Huang Tianhua and the others.

Little did she expect that the other party would threaten Shen Gongbao with her life as soon as they made a move.

This behavior is an absolute insult to her!

How could Qiongxiao tolerate this?

"Run!"

Just as Qiongxiao was about to rush forward regardless of everything, Shen Gongbao suddenly shouted.

Unlike Qiongxiao, Shen Gongbao did not lose his temper and quickly calmed down after his anger subsided.

At this time, both he and Qiongxiao's spiritual treasures were limited, and Qiongxiao's cultivation was further affected by the residual poison in her body, making her strength much weaker than before. It was definitely not the best choice to fight against Huang Tianhua and the others head-on.

"We're almost at Skull Mountain now. Once we get there, with Shi Ji's help, we'll have a much better chance of defeating the enemy."

Upon hearing Shen Gongbao's words, Qiongxiao reluctantly withdrew the flying sword she had just unleashed.

Once Shi Ji joins in, she will indeed be a great help.

Moreover, her current cultivation level and the Eye-Piercing Pearl both require some time to repair, so if she could delay it for a while, that would be even better.

Thinking of this, Qiongxiao glared fiercely at Huang Tianhua not far away and said:

"Huang Tianhua, I, Qiongxiao, will remember this grudge. You just wait."

"Wait? You think you can still escape?"

From the moment the facade crumbled, Huang Tianhua made no further attempt to hide his true colors:

“Yunwu, Shen Gongbao’s true form, the Thunder Leopard, is extremely fast. I’m entrusting this space to you. I don’t want Shen Gongbao to be able to unleash the speed he did just now.”

Yunwu sneered:

"Don't worry, this is my old specialty. Not to mention the speed just now, if Shen Gongbao can still outrun a tortoise later, I'll admit defeat!"

Having said that, he took out a pagoda-like magical artifact, then cast several spells into it, and shouted:

"ban!"

As Ju Liusun's personal attendant, Yunwu had always been studying Ju Liusun's methods of confinement.

In order to completely subdue Shen Gongbao, Ju Liusun temporarily handed over his innate spiritual treasure, the Zhenkong Tower, to Yun Wu before Yun Wu left Yuxu Palace.

The Zhenkong Tower, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, is entirely black with chaotic Dao patterns engraved on its body. When it is summoned, it can seal off tens of thousands of miles of void, making it difficult for Golden Immortals to escape and hindering Great Luo Immortals.

Looking at the Zhenkong Tower in front of him, Yunwu laughed wildly in his heart.

So what if he's a junior uncle?

I, Yunwu, am fighting my martial arts uncle!

As the imprisoning light of the Zhenkong Tower descended upon him, Shen Gongbao's heart skipped a beat.

"My space and speed advantages have been limited!"

This was also the main reason why Shen Gongbao was unwilling to directly confront Huang Tianhua and others.

Although Huang Tianhua and the others were not strong enough, as disciples of the Chan Sect, they were not lacking in spiritual treasures. For example, the Zhenkong Tower that Yun Wu was using now could only be obediently restricted.

"We absolutely cannot let this continue, or we really won't be able to escape!"

Shen Gongbao immediately let out a long roar, his body blazing with golden light, and his three-headed, six-armed form manifested, with six eyes wide open and three faces speaking simultaneously:

"Qiongxiao, let's attack together and destroy Yunwu's spiritual treasure first!"

"good!"

Qiongxiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, the flying sword that had been quietly floating in mid-air seemed to be given life, instantly transforming into a streak of azure light, rushing out like lightning, heading straight for Yunwu.

Upon seeing this, Yun Wu was terrified. His face turned deathly pale, and he cried out in horror:

"Come protect me!"

The group of people who were originally standing aside hesitated for a moment, but when they saw the blue light coming fiercely, like a deadly meteor, they dared not hesitate for a moment. They shouted in unison and rushed towards Yun Wu like lightning, like meteors chasing the moon.

At the same time, dazzling lights shone from their bodies, and various defensive spells and magical treasures were activated. In an instant, multicolored lights intertwined, forming an indestructible shield that tightly protected Yun Wu.

They had seen the effects of the Zhenkong Tower, and since Shen Gongbao wanted to destroy it, they naturally had to stop him.

Just then, Shen Gongbao suddenly turned around and appeared in front of Shi Wu while all eyes were on Yun Wu.

The Zhenkong Tower did have a huge impact on him, but a Golden Immortal who is good at long-range sneak attacks can also unleash terrifying power. Therefore, from the beginning, Shen Gongbao's target was Shi Wu.

Without any hesitation, Shen Gongbao used all six of his hands to grab Shi Wu's arm.

Feeling the immense force coming from his arm, Shi Wu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly to Shi Zhan:

"Big brother, save me!"

But by then it was too late to call for help!

Shen Gongbao at this time was no longer the Xuanxian he had been a year ago, who could only be captured by any means necessary.

The moment Shen Gongbao entered the fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, his physical strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary Golden Immortal. Shi Wu felt the power in his arm increasing continuously.

And then, that was it.

At that moment, Shen Gongbao's Crimson Flame Phoenix Halberd was already swinging down towards Shi Wu's neck.

"Second brother!"

As Shi Wu's aura continued to fade away, Shi Zhan was deeply shaken.

Before leaving Yuxu Palace this time, he learned that Ju Liusun had invited them out to deal with Shen Gongbao, and he was very excited.

Shen Gongbao was merely a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), yet he tricked the two brothers into falling into the pit back then entirely because they were unprepared and fell into his trap.

He believed that even ten Shen Gongbaos combined could not defeat the two brothers in a direct confrontation.

But at this moment, his second brother was completely killed.

"Shen Gongbao, I'm going to kill you!"

Shi Zhan's eyes were bloodshot as he raised his long sword and slashed fiercely at Shen Gongbao.

"Let's go now!"

Shen Gongbao deflected Shi Zhan's longsword with a single halberd strike and shouted loudly to Qiongxiao beside him.

With one less Golden Immortal blocking their way and the others still in shock, this was the perfect time for Qiongxiao to leave.

Shen Gongbao had given him advance notice before they joined forces to kill Shi Wu. Now that Shen Gongbao spoke, Qiong Xiao gritted his teeth and, without further hesitation, turned around and flew towards Skull Mountain.

However, at that moment...

Qiongxiao saw a flash of golden light, and a golden needle as thin as a cow's hair shot straight from Huang Tianhua's hand toward Shen Gongbao.

Without much thought, Qiongxiao flashed in front of Shen Gongbao and blocked the golden needle with her sword.

Qiongxiao didn't care at all about the thin golden needle, which was used by the true immortal Huang Tianhua.

But the next moment, her expression changed instantly.

The golden needle completely ignored the flying sword in her hand and the protective golden light around her, and went straight into her body.

The next moment, Qiongxiao's aura rapidly weakened.

At this moment, Shen Gongbao finally noticed the abnormality on Qiongxiao's side.

Sensing the golden needle at Qiongxiao's heart point, Shen Gongbao's eyes widened in fury:

"It's a Heart-Piercing Nail!"
