A thick black cloud rolled across the sky, enveloping an old man in a black robe who rose and fell within it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
The old man was thin, with a sinister face and a murderous aura between his brows. He held a black and white whisk in his arms.
"You two little brats, where do you think you're going to run to!"
The old man sneered as he raised his hand and unleashed a beam of dark light.
Bang!
The roc that landed behind Kong Xuan was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the dark light. Its escape light dissipated and it fell from mid-air.
The dark light faded, revealing a dark green Ruyi scepter.
"Brother, save me!"
Dapeng's cries for help reached Kong Xuan's ears, forcing him to stop. He then saw the old man point a finger, and the black jade ruyi spun around, wrapped in a ball of dark light, and hurtled towards him.
Kong Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, but a crimson light rose behind him, rushing and sweeping towards Ruyi. Ruyi immediately fell into the light and disappeared.
Kong Xuan withdrew his Xuan light and did not retaliate immediately. Instead, he summoned a large hand of primordial energy and reached out to grab the Golden-Winged Roc.
He stopped solely to save the person, not to fight the old man.
Having experienced their previous encounter, he knew he was no match for the newcomer.
After all, his cultivation level was only at the thirtieth level, barely enough to condense the Three Flowers, while the old man's cultivation level was at least at the fortieth level.
In the previous encounter, if he hadn't relied on the profound changes of the innate five-colored divine light, he wouldn't have had a chance to escape. If he had been a little unlucky, the two brothers would probably have already fallen into the old man's hands.
Kong Xuan captured the roc and held it in his hand. Seeing that the old man had chased him to within a mile, he raised his hand and scattered a handful of Innate Five Elements Extinction Needles.
This supernatural power was also something he comprehended from the innate five elements. While it may not be as profound as the innate five-colored divine light, it is in no way inferior in terms of killing power.
As countless flying needles rained down, the old man flicked his whisk, unleashing a black and white swirling yin-yang light.
The Yin-Yang Mystic Light spread out in the air, instantly gathering up the countless Innate Five Elements Extinction Needles. As it circulated, it continuously ground them, crushing each needle into dust...
Kong Xuan's actions were not intended to kill the old man, but merely to buy time for his escape.
He believed that as long as he could escape back to the cave, the protective array left by his mother, Zu Feng, would surely be able to keep the old man out of the cave...
The commotion here was so loud, and it was already very close to Hu Le's temporary cave dwelling, which had already alerted him.
Although he had not yet fully condensed the innate fire elemental energy, he still dispelled the formation, opened the cave door, and walked out.
He stood at the cave entrance, holding a bamboo cane, shading his eyes with his hand, and looked up at the sky. Several miles away, he saw an old man in black suddenly throw out a whisk from his palm.
The whisk changed shape in the wind, and thousands of intertwined black and white dust threads unfurled, transforming into a large net that was wrapping around Kong Xuan.
Seeing that the dust threads covered hundreds of miles of void, Kong Xuan had no choice but to unleash a primordial earth-elemental profound light to block the large net formed by the whisk for a moment.
His cultivation is still shallow; he has only mastered the divine lights of fire and earth, so the power of his supernatural abilities is naturally greatly reduced.
That whisk was a primordial spiritual treasure containing the power of Yin and Yang, and naturally, a single ray of mysterious light was no match for it...
A flash of black and white light appeared on the whisk, instantly entangling the innate earth element divine light. With a sudden twist, the divine light immediately collapsed.
Kong Xuan's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered, almost falling from the sky.
"This junior has such limited abilities, yet he dares to oppose the patriarch; he's simply courting death..."
However, if you are willing to remove the Five Elements Dao Seed from your body and offer it before the Ancestor, the Ancestor might spare your lives!
Seeing that the large net woven from the whisk had firmly covered the sky above Kong Xuan's head, and that the other party could no longer escape his grasp, the old man couldn't help but feel a sense of smug satisfaction.
"Don't even think about making me submit!"
Kong Xuan gritted his teeth inwardly. Seeing the whisk quickly pressing down, he did not choose to force a breakthrough.
Since there's no way to go up to heaven, let's choose to go down underground.
So he landed on the ground with the Golden-Winged Roc in his arms, and the two brothers shone with an earthy yellow light, clearly preparing to escape using earth magic.
Then Kong Xuan stomped his feet on the ground and his body quickly disappeared into the ground.
The old man chuckled, flicked his finger, and unleashed a divine power towards the ground.
Golden light instantly flowed across the ground, and within a short distance, it solidified into a mass of refined steel.
This refers to the technique of turning the earth into steel, which is specifically used to counter various earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique that allows one to escape from the earth).
As the ground solidified into steel, Kong Xuan could no longer move underground. Wrapped in a ball of mysterious light, he crawled out of the ground in a sorry state.
At this moment, the whisk fell from the sky, instantly enveloping Kong Xuan and the golden-winged roc in his hand.
"Haha... Young phoenixes! You have finally fallen into the hands of the ancestor."
The old man laughed loudly, his greedy eyes sweeping over Kong Xuan...
"Brother Hu over there! Please save my brother's life, and I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
At this moment, Kong Xuan spotted Hu Le standing on the mountainside watching the play not far away and immediately shouted loudly.
The old man also looked up, a murderous intent surging in his heart. He had already seen Hu Le, but he had been so focused on capturing the Kong brothers that he hadn't had time to pay attention to him.
Now that we've won a great victory, we've finally gotten rid of this man.
He had no grudge against Hu Le, but Hu Le's timing was just wrong.
Kong Xuan and Da Peng are, after all, the sons of the Ancestral Phoenix. If the Phoenix Clan finds out that he bullied the two brothers, they will not let him off the hook.
Sometimes, killing someone to silence them is necessary.
Hu Le heard Kong Xuan's plea for help, shook his head and sighed. He had only come here to cultivate, how could he have gotten entangled in such a mess?
It should be noted that although he and Kong Xuan were neighbors, they had not interacted for many years and had no relationship whatsoever.
He's not some savior; why would he intervene for that?
However, while he thought this way, he also had to consider the old man's opinion.
Hu Le was too lazy to reply to Kong Xuan and was about to use the Qiankun Shift technique to leave.
The old man suddenly gave him a cruel smile, waved his sleeve to put away the Kong Xuan brothers, and flicked his whisk at Hu Le, unleashing a beam of innate Yin-Yang divine light that instantly shot towards Hu Le.
Suddenly, a Kan-Gen-Kun Flag appeared in Hu Le's palm. Facing the divine light of the two polarities, it flickered and rose up with a misty, steaming seven-colored radiance, which instantly dispersed the divine light of the two polarities.
Each of the five primordial flags has its own unique features, and the original pure light flowing on the flags is their source.
After being refined by their respective masters, the emitted mystical light will naturally undergo different changes.
For example, the Azure Lotus Banner of the Western Sect, after being refined by the Daoist Zhunti, transformed its primordial power into a relic shrouded in auspicious light.
As for the Jade Purity Daoist's Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, when it is waved, millions of golden lotus flowers will fall.
Once the plain-colored cloud banner is unfurled, a strange fragrance fills the air, and seven-colored cloud light lingers around it.
Now, after Hu Le refined the Kan Di Gen Kun Banner, its pure energy transformed into a cluster of seven-colored rays of light...
