A fierce glint flashed in Du Xuan's eyes, and he suddenly unleashed a palm strike to meet the Azure Phosphorus Arrow.
With a deafening roar, the divine thunder exploded, shattering the arrow into pieces with its immense power.
Du Xuan then once again harnessed his escape light and sped toward the inland.
The Taoist priest in black was furious, his face contorted with rage. He roared, "Boy! Where do you think you're going! Give me back my grandson's life!"
It turns out that the Taoist in black was Zhao Jianyin, the leader of the Northern Demonic Sect. His grandson had entered the Immortal Abode with other cultivators because he coveted its treasures, but unfortunately perished at the hands of the old ox.
Zhao Jianyin deduced the cause-and-effect relationship by calculating the number of days, but he could not calculate the specific information about the old ox, so he attributed all the responsibility to Du Xuan.
Zhao Jianyin leaped off the cliff, soaring through the air and transforming into a streak of black light, chasing after Du Xuan.
Du Xuan fled at breakneck speed, covering more than a hundred miles in the blink of an eye. However, Zhao Jianyin was still in hot pursuit, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Du Xuan frowned, inwardly groaning.
Although his Mind Light Escape Technique was profound, he was unable to fully unleash its true power due to his limited cultivation.
Several hundred miles later, the old demon followed closely, catching up to within range where he could make a move.
He raised his hand and pointed, and a thunderclap resounded in the void. Immediately afterward, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and headed straight for Du Xuan.
This bolt of lightning was demonic Yin lightning, incredibly fast, appearing above Du Xuan's head in the blink of an eye.
With a deafening roar, divine lightning exploded, and Du Xuan hurriedly activated his escape technique, narrowly avoiding the attack.
But at that moment, Zhao Jianyin moved closer and then summoned a large hand of primordial energy shrouded in black mist, grabbing at Du Xuan.
A gigantic hand blotted out the sky, sealing off the space-time where Du Xuan was located. With nowhere to escape, Du Xuan could only unleash a powerful Gengjin innate sword aura.
A dazzling sword aura, golden and white, unfurled like a bolt of lightning, and with a whoosh, struck the demonic hand with lightning speed.
This powerful energy hand is Zhao Jianyin's signature divine ability. It is extremely powerful and can capture the soul of a cultivator from hundreds of miles away by simply casting it from a distance.
Moreover, strange poisonous mist emanated from the palm, forming a layer of poisonous fog around the hand.
Even a celestial being, if accidentally exposed to even a trace of poison, would likely have the poison enter their body and instantly turn into a puddle of pus.
At that moment, when the Great Gengjin Innate Sword Qi struck the Yuan Qi Hand, the hand only trembled slightly, and the poisonous mist dissipated somewhat.
However, the next moment, the giant hand slammed down, shattering the Great Gengjin Innate Sword Qi instantly, and continued to pound towards Du Xuan.
In the blink of an eye, the giant hand had reached the top of Du Xuan's head, and the situation was extremely critical.
Just then, Du Xuan swiftly raised his hand and pointed, and a blue light instantly enveloped his fingertip, transforming it into a thousand-petaled blue lotus.
Immediately afterwards, the giant hand slammed down hard on the blue lotus.
With a crisp "snap," the green lotus trembled violently before breaking apart, turning into wisps of spiritual energy that dissipated into the air.
At the same time, the giant hand in mid-air paused for a moment.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Du Xuan flashed and transformed into a streak of light, speeding away into the distance at an extremely fast pace.
Just as he was about to fly out of the giant palm's reach, a deep drumbeat suddenly came from afar.
Du Xuan's escape light suddenly trembled, and his flight speed instantly decreased.
He hurriedly turned around and saw the Lord of Golden Drum Island rushing towards him, carrying a huge golden drum.
It turned out that due to the brief delay, the Lord of Golden Drum Island had already caught up.
Just then, Zhao Jianyin's poisonous hand slammed down from mid-air, only about ten feet away from Du Xuan's head.
Clearly, he had no time to dodge the attack.
...
In the distant, celestial mountains, Hu Le sat leisurely atop a cliff, his body surrounded by a soft cloud of mist. Beside him stood an ancient and towering pine tree, seemingly one with heaven and earth.
At this moment, his mind, like wisps of smoke, slowly sank into the profound primordial chaos.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something was amiss, his mind stirred slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a thin pine needle from the ground, and that pine needle instantly transformed into a flying sword only an inch long.
He flicked his finger lightly on the flying sword, and in the blink of an eye, the sword disappeared into the void.
The next moment, the sword light had already traversed millions of miles of space and appeared in front of Du Xuan.
Du Xuan originally thought he was going to die this time, but at this moment, a light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a small sword about an inch long appeared in his hand.
He instinctively gripped the sword hilt and swung it forcefully at the demonic hand above his head.
In the next instant, a dazzling sword light shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, sword energy soared into the sky, its cold light gleaming, and slashed fiercely at the demonic hand.
With a deafening boom, the demonic hand shattered, dissipating into nothingness as wisps of demonic energy.
Clearly, although Zhao Jianyin's supernatural abilities were formidable, how could they compare to the flying sword bestowed by Hu Le?
Even though this flying sword was just something Hu Le casually conjured up, it is an unparalleled weapon in this world, invincible to anyone.
Seeing that his supernatural power had been broken, Zhao Jianyin frowned and looked at the small, emerald-green flying sword in Du Xuan's hand.
Du Xuan was equally astonished by the power of the attack just now, and his gaze fell on the flying sword in his hand.
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have guessed something. He suddenly glanced in the direction of the Celestial Divine Mountain, then leaped into the air and used the Mind Light Escape Technique to continue speeding towards the Celestial Divine Mountain.
"You little thief! Where do you think you're going!"
The King of Golden Drum Island finally caught up, only to find that Du Xuan had already turned into light and disappeared into the distance. He hurriedly raised his hand and summoned a magic weapon called the Sea Cloud Pouch.
This magical artifact was crafted by him using a secret method from the Xuan Ying jellyfish collected from the deep sea, and it has the wondrous ability to capture and store people.
At this moment, the sea cloud spread out in the air, like a deep green ocean that instantly covered an area of hundreds of miles, and Du Xuan was also enveloped in it.
As the sea cloud enveloped him, Du Xuan immediately raised his small sword and released another beam of sword light to meet it.
With a flash of sword light and a tearing sound, Haiyundou was actually cut in two, as if the sky itself had been ripped apart.
Upon seeing this, Du Xuan immediately transformed into a beam of light, bursting out from the tear and appearing high in the sky. Then, he turned and sped away into the distance.
The island master of Golden Drum Island was furious when he saw that his magic weapon had been destroyed. He picked up the Golden Drum and chased after Du Xuan.
At the same time, Zhao Jianyin, the leader of the Northern Demonic Sect, also transformed into a black light and followed.
