The golden runes shone brightly. In the dark night, they looked like a golden sun, emitting dazzling golden light that pierced everyone's sight.
It also penetrated through the bright white Suzaku fire, shocking Suzaku grandmother: "She's not dead yet! This power doesn't belong to the early Nascent Soul stage at all!"
"He still has some tricks up his sleeve!"
"The Art of Killing." A calm voice was heard from the bright white Vermillion Bird Fire. Immediately afterwards, the golden light inside became even more dazzling and suppressed the Vermillion Bird Fire.
With a swish.
A golden slash shot out from it. The Suzaku Fire, which was submerged in the golden light and had no substance, was cut open at this moment, revealing a safe path.
Xue Kong walked out of this path, holding the golden rune of the "Zhan" character in his hand. As he swung his right hand several times, a series of slashing attacks were shot out, forcing back the Suzaku Fire, preventing it from getting any closer.
"Puff." A mouthful of blood spurted out of Xue Kong's mouth. Although his eyes were calm, they revealed a hint of weakness at this moment.
"Late Nascent Soul stage, what a late Nascent Soul stage! Wonderful!" Xue Kong suddenly laughed abnormally, "Hahaha! Xue will come back one day, sir, don't hide."
"Hmph! How can you escape from me today?" Grandma Suzaku disagreed. Even if the Suzaku Fire was temporarily forced back, she had other means and could naturally kill Xue Kong.
How could a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage escape unharmed?
Xue Kong said no more. He knew very well that he was no match for Grandma Suzaku at the moment. He immediately threw the golden "Zhan" rune to Grandma Suzaku and slapped his storage bag, and the Tiangang Xuanhuang flag appeared in his hand.
With a light flick, the Tiangang Xuanhuang flag flew out, and the flag, which changed like clouds and smoke, immediately wrapped around his body and rushed towards the dark sky in the distance without stopping.
When Grandma Suzaku destroyed the golden "Zhan" rune, Xue Kong had already escaped very far. Not only was he fast enough to teleport, but he also had the power of the Tiangang Xuanhuang Flag and the speed-increasing effect of the [Nine Ghosts Soul Moving Technique]. His overall speed was probably faster than that of the late Nascent Soul stage.
The Suzaku grandmother knew she couldn't catch up, so her eyes flashed coldly. She placed two fingers of her right hand on the Suzaku mark between her eyebrows and said coldly, "I will use my energy to summon the Suzaku spirit and kill this cultivator instantly!"
As Grandma Suzaku raised her hand and pointed at Xue Kong, whose figure was almost disappearing, the Suzaku mark on her forehead suddenly flashed with a fiery red light, and countless white flames gathered around her and turned into a tiny illusory white Suzaku at her fingertips.
Although the Vermilion Bird was small in size, the aura it exuded made the night sky tremble, and even the whistling wind around it seemed to pause for a moment.
In an instant, the white Vermillion Bird flew out from Grandma Vermillion Bird's fingertips, like a flash of light, across the night sky, at an extraordinary speed, and instantly hit Xue Kong who had already escaped very far away.
As for Xue Kong's life or death, Grandma Zhuque didn't know. She stood in the air and looked at that place. No sound came from it, and it gradually returned to calm.
After a long moment, Grandma Suzaku sighed softly, "The Suzaku totem has been exposed, attracting the covetousness of many villains. This person is quite powerful. If this move fails to kill him, Taotie Beast City will likely face many disasters in the future."
When the monks outside the Taotie Beast City saw this battle, they were all surprised and admired her very much. They had a new understanding of Grandma Suzaku's strength and were filled with awe. When Grandma Suzaku returned to the Taotie Beast City, they bowed respectfully and clasped their fists.
This story spread throughout the entire Taotie Beast City that night.
No one was alarmed by this. They all believed that under Grandma Suzaku's fierce attack, the offending enemy must have been eliminated.
There was a sense of joy in the Taotie Beast City. Many people killed monsters in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources. In addition, there was admiration and respect for Grandma Zhuque. Every cultivator began to practice harder.
Three days later, Taotie Beast City had returned to peace.
It seemed that the appearance of the villains and the fact that they created monsters to attack the city was just a trivial matter. Except for a few people, this matter was quickly forgotten.
At noon that day, the sun was high in the sky and the temperature was quite high.
Seven figures of cultivators gathered outside the Taotie Beast City. Without exception, these seven were all Jindan cultivators. The youngest was in the early Jindan stage, and the oldest was in the late Jindan stage.
The seven people have different appearances, and they are all patiently waiting for someone.
Not long after, He Gui flew out of the Taotie Beast City and came to the seven people. He clasped his fists and bowed, then said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm truly sorry. Master forced me to practice, and I haven't left the house for the past three days. I just found a chance to sneak out today."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist He Gui, your cultivation level...is already the middle stage of the Core Formation?"
Someone shouted, and the others looked at He Gui. They found that he, who was still in the early stage of Jindan three days ago, had already made a breakthrough in his cultivation.
"It was just a lucky breakthrough today." He Gui smiled.
Grandma Suzaku noticed that more and more people were coveting the Suzaku totem, so she repeatedly forced He Gui to practice hard. She knew very well that the cultivators in Taotie Beast City were treating He Gui with courtesy out of her face.
If an enemy that he cannot deal with appears one day, He Gui will have to fend for himself and he will no longer be able to protect him.
During these three days, He Gui was forced to practice day and night without stopping for a moment, and only then did he improve his cultivation to the middle stage of Jindan. Because of this, he was allowed to relax a little, go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
The seven Jindan cultivators all showed envious looks towards He Gui. If they had such a master, it would be a blessing earned in their previous life. Unfortunately, He Gui himself did not cherish it. He seemed to be practicing hard, but in fact he was playful and had no lofty ambitions. He only knew how to indulge in pleasure and it was difficult for him to achieve great things.
Many people understand these things in their hearts, but no one says it.
One reason is jealousy, and they wish He Gui's status could be reversed. In this way, the jealousy in some people's hearts will be calmed and they will feel comfortable.
Secondly, it is unnecessary. If I speak frankly, He Gui might misunderstand me, which would not be worth it.
Three of the seven people were the ones who had traveled with He Gui a few days ago, namely Che Xinyu, Jiang Wenshan and Taoist Yanhuo.
"I never thought Xue Kong was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator who had hidden his cultivation level. We were almost tricked by him. Thanks to the city lord for taking action and killing him." Jiang Wenshan said with some fear, "Otherwise, it would have been a disaster."
"Beheaded? That's not right. I heard that the offender that night escaped and his life or death is still unknown?" A cultivator in the late Jindan stage asked doubtfully.
"No matter whether he is dead or alive, he was severely injured by the blow from our master. Even if he is not dead, he probably can't cause trouble again now. We don't need to worry." He Gui said disapprovingly.
"Everyone, let's go. There is only one Nascent Soul stage monster in that place. With the strength of the eight of us, we may be able to kill it." Jiang Wenshan's cultivation level is not the highest, but he has the most say among this group of people.
Except for He Gui, most of these people were recruited by him, so they naturally had to obey his commands.
The eight people turned into long rainbows and flew into the air, rushing towards a specific direction. After a while, they disappeared into the sky.
