Protected by the Flaming Banner, Zhuangzi was quite relaxed. He even took the time to watch the battle between Yun Zhongzi and Confucius. To be honest, he had long admired Confucius. Well, not in a lesbian way, but Zhuangzi really admired Confucius. Confucius founded Confucianism and developed it into a powerful force, whose influence on the human world was unmatched by any other major religious sect. Zhuangzi was a sincere person and wanted to befriend this type of Daoist brother. However, due to some conflicts between their superiors, they had never had any in-depth contact.
Zhuangzi was distracted by observing others during battle, which is a serious problem. Perhaps Laozi didn't tell him that one cannot be distracted in battle. Distraction comes at a price.
This behavior is tantamount to courting death, especially for a master like Han Fei who came from the chaos of the Three Clans period. He tries to seize every opportunity in the battle. Although Zhuangzi was distracted by observing Confucius and the others for a short time, Han Fei still noticed.
At that moment, Han Fei took a step forward, getting closer to Zhuangzi. He stretched out his hand and frantically channeled his magic power, letting out a loud shout that was like thunder. The distracted Zhuangzi was shaken to the core. Han Fei silently pressed his left palm towards Zhuangzi, but when it was only half a foot away from Zhuangzi, it was blocked by the protective circle of the Flaming Banner. Red lotuses rose up, supporting Han Fei's left palm. Han Fei shouted, and instantly unleashed an incomparably powerful magic power from his palm. The entire protective circle shattered as Han Fei unleashed his magic power, and the red lotuses withered and disappeared, leaving Zhuangzi dumbfounded.
Han Fei's method is advantageous when he gets close, then he can output a large amount of magic power and concentrate it into one point. After breaking through the protection of the Ground Flame Banner, he can then spread his magic power on the Ground Flame Banner to wrap it up. The protective red lotus will naturally break without being attacked.
Taking advantage of Zhuangzi's surprise, Han Fei flicked his spear, transforming it into a sword, and slashed at Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was shocked and retreated, but speed was not his forte and he could not match Han Fei's. The sword followed like a leech, and just as he was about to be struck, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in Zhuangzi's eyes.
Seeing this hint of joy, Han Fei instinctively knew it wasn't a good thing. Suddenly remembering the previous attack, Han Fei was startled. He immediately abandoned the opportunity he had finally gained and moved about a mile to the left. Looking back, he saw another Heaven-Turning Seal coming from the sky. He was annoyed but dared not take it head-on. He knew the power of the Heaven-Turning Seal; it could even break through the defenses of the Five Directions Banner. Han Fei knew he didn't have such a magic weapon, so he dared not take it head-on and could only dodge.
Mozi, who had been focused on the fight between Confucius and Yun Zhongzi, forgot about the treacherous nature of the Chan Sect. Seeing Han Fei being ambushed again, he was furious and cursed, "You are all too shameless, launching sneak attacks time and time again. You are not worthy of being called sons."
Guang Chengzi, without blushing or panting, said, "Fellow Daoist, you are attached to appearances. You are acting against the will of Heaven. I only wish to save you so that you will not suffer calamity for violating the will of Heaven."
Upon hearing this, Mozi was filled with rage, thinking to himself: Such a shameless person is truly rare!
Having calmed his anger slightly, he said, "Since you have such a kind intention, why don't you have a match with me, so that you won't feel uncomfortable?" Mozi was a calm person, but he was annoyed by Guang Chengzi's repeated sneak attacks and shameless words. However, he was a bit taciturn by nature and did not want to say anything more.
Guang Chengzi glanced at Mozi, then turned to the other six Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and said, "This kind of heaven-defying person has superb skills. Although I have the heart to subdue demons, I am somewhat lacking in strength. I would like to ask you fellow Daoists for your assistance."
The six Golden Immortals all nodded in agreement, saying, "Such wicked people defy the heavens, and we should naturally help them."
At that moment, Guang Chengzi and the other six Golden Immortals revealed their Dharma bodies, took out their magic treasures, and said to Mozi, "Fellow Daoist, you have defied the heavens this time, but I had no choice but to do so. I hope you can understand." These words seemed to be true.
Mozi sneered and said, "No need for further words. You and I both understand the cause and effect of this matter. There is no question of defying or following the will of Heaven. If you want to fight, then fight. What is the purpose of learning such flowery language? Aren't you afraid that your teacher will suspect something?"
Mozi, after all, was someone who had come from the beginning of the creation of the world. He had followed Xuantian for so many years and had learned a lot of ways to curse. As soon as he opened his mouth, he made the seven Golden Immortals, including Guangchengzi, furious. Buddhist disciples were famous for their ability to speak eloquently, and the fact that four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had betrayed the sect was already a disgrace to the Chan Sect. But now Mozi brought it up and slapped them in the face in front of them. How could they not be angry?
Guang Chengzi roared and summoned the Fantian Seal to strike Mozi. The Fantian Seal grew to a size of a hundred feet, carrying a fierce wind, as if it were about to destroy the world.
The Mohists were renowned for their skill in defense, and Mozi was no less adept at it. With a tap on his head, the Three-Flower Auspicious Cloud appeared. Within the half-acre of auspicious cloud, the three flowers manifested, and in the center was a pagoda, the White Elephant Pagoda, radiating a blue light. Mozi pointed to the pagoda above his head, and the pagoda immediately flew out from the auspicious cloud, growing taller in the wind until it reached a size of a hundred feet. It then connected with the Heaven-Turning Seal, but with a deafening roar, the Heaven-Turning Seal was knocked back.
With the help of Mozi's merit in establishing the sect, the White Elephant Pagoda has been upgraded to thirty layers of restrictions. Although it is not as powerful as the Heaven-Turning Seal, it is still a formidable defensive magic weapon. When used by someone like Mozi, a Primordial True Immortal, its power is even more extraordinary. As for Guang Chengzi, his cultivation was wiped out after the Yellow River Formation, and now he only has the cultivation of a Taiyi True Immortal. Even with the help of a magic weapon like the Heaven-Turning Seal, it is not enough. Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation is too great, and even relying on innate treasures cannot help him succeed.
The others naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. Chi Jingzi had already unleashed the Yin-Yang Mirror, half white and half red. A flash of the white side meant death, while a flash of the red side meant life. Chi Jingzi threw the mirror, pointing the white side at Mozi. A beam of white light shot out, but it was blocked by the White Elephant Tower's defense and couldn't be broken or harmed Mozi.
Mozi was known for his defensive style, but he was not bad at fighting. He would not stand by and let the others fight him. He drew his sword and fought with them. Using the close combat techniques of Penglai Island, he forced the seven Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to be speechless and forced them to flee for their lives.
