Laozi rode a green ox slowly through the Bodhi forest. Every time he walked a certain distance, the Bodhi trees around him were constantly turned to dust.
The blue ox's hooves seemed to possess boundless power, instantly extinguishing the life in these ancient trees.
At the same time, the Xuanhuang Qi hanging down from the Xuanhuang Pagoda swept across the entire area like a torrent.
Wherever this powerful airflow passed, everything was leveled, demonstrating the unparalleled power of Laozi.
However, just as all the changes in the formation could not stop Laozi's advance, the Sage Zhunti suddenly appeared from the side.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swung the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand and struck directly at Laozi.
Faced with the attack from the sage Zhunti, Laozi calmly raised his cane.
With a gentle wave, he pushed the Seven Treasures Tree aside.
"Zhunti! You are supposed to be a Primordial Saint, how could you behave so despicably?"
Laozi sneered, his tone full of disdain and mockery.
Before he finished speaking, he swung his flat cane with incredible speed, aiming straight for the face of the Sage Zhunti.
With a crisp "pop," the flat cane struck the Sage Zhunti with perfect accuracy.
Surprisingly, the Sage Zhunti was not defeated by this attack. Instead, he instantly transformed into a giant Bodhi tree, which then shattered into countless fragments in an instant.
However, at that moment, the figure of the Sage Zhunti appeared from the other side of Laozi.
He was unharmed and once again raised the Seven Treasures Tree, preparing to launch a new attack on Laozi.
The Seven Treasures Tree swept in with a fierce aura, and Laozi dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately raised his flat staff and met the attack with all his might.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a burst of Buddhist light suddenly rippled in the distance, and a dazzling ray of light shone forth.
Immediately afterwards, the Sage who guided the way, wearing a kasaya and with a sorrowful expression, slowly emerged from the void.
He stood on a lotus flower, like an immortal descending to earth, and held a whisk in his hand.
As soon as he appeared, he waved his whisk without hesitation and swept it towards Laozi.
At the same time, the Goddess Nuwa emerged from the side, her long whip lashing out like a nimble dragon, roaring as it fiercely struck Laozi.
Despite being besieged by three powerful enemies, Laozi remained calm and composed.
He urged his steed, the blue ox, forward with a leap, skillfully avoiding the three men's attacks.
Then, he swung his flat cane in the back of his hand, and instantly the cane shadows were heavy, pressing down on the three of them like a mountain.
This move was incredibly powerful, engulfing the three of them along with their magical artifacts.
However, all three of them were Hunyuan Wuji, and their combined strength was terrifyingly powerful.
They each used their unique skills to block the attacks of the flat-topped crutch.
In an instant, the battle between the four saints intensified, and the surrounding space became distorted because of their fierce fighting.
Three figures, like ghosts, surrounded Laozi, entangled in the air, tumbling and fighting, seemingly evenly matched for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves had passed.
Nuwa suddenly flashed and quickly moved to the side of Laozi.
She swung her long whip suddenly, sending a sharp whistling sound as it swept directly towards the blue ox beneath Laozi.
Upon seeing this, the other two sages immediately changed their attack direction, lowering their offensive and launching a fierce attack on the Green Ox together.
The blue ox was startled by this sudden turn of events.
It was merely Laozi's mount; how could it withstand the combined attack of three religious leaders and saints?
Laozi frowned, inwardly cursing the three for being unfilial.
Meanwhile, the three religious leaders secretly sneered in their hearts.
Li Dan is protected by the Xuanhuang Pagoda, so they cannot pose a threat to him for the time being.
Since that's the case, let's attack his weakest point and start by taking down his mount!
You should know that, given their status and position as saints, they would normally disdain to lay a hand on an ordinary mount.
However, Laozi was far too difficult to deal with. Faced with the combined attack of the three sage leaders, he still dared to sit so leisurely on the back of the ox, which was the greatest contempt and insult to them!
Suddenly, the green ox exerted its strength and leaped into the air, attempting to avoid the combined attack of the three.
However, faced with the combined attack of the three sages, its escape routes and evasive maneuvers had already been completely blocked.
The sage's offensive was cleverly neutralized by Laozi in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the fierce attack of the Sage Zhunti was also dissolved into nothingness by a powerful Xuanhuang Qi.
Now, all that remains is the fatal whip that Goddess Nuwa lashes out with!
The ox leaped with all its might, but ultimately could not completely evade this vicious attack.
With a deafening roar, Nuwa's whip was about to strike the ox's hind leg.
At the critical moment, a surge of primordial energy suddenly appeared, blocking the thunderous blow.
The primordial energy withstood the power of the attack, and ripples immediately spread out, as if it had been subjected to a tremendous impact.
Most of the force was successfully neutralized by the Xuanhuang Qi, but a small portion of the force still penetrated the Xuanhuang Qi and struck the ox's hind leg from a distance.
If it were a sage, this amount of force would be as insignificant as a gentle breeze brushing against one's face.
However, this green ox was merely a mount belonging to someone at the Taiyi realm.
With a painful moo, the blue ox felt as if its hind legs were about to break, its body went limp, and it almost collapsed.
The Supreme Lord Laozi, sitting on its back, swayed and almost fell off the ox's back.
Saints Jieyin and Zhunti, who were standing nearby, seemed to have sensed an opportunity and rushed forward.
The guiding saint quickly raised the blessing pestle and simultaneously shot out a relic.
The Sage Zhunti was equally unwilling to be outdone. He unleashed his golden body and simultaneously wielded the Seven Treasures Tree, forcefully sweeping it towards Laozi.
Laozi sighed, and the Xuanhuang Pagoda above his head spun rapidly, the Xuanhuang energy hanging down becoming increasingly dense.
At the same time, a Tai Chi diagram with the flow of innate Yin and Yang energy appeared in his hand. He unfurled it with a flick of his wrist and blocked the flying blessing pestle and relic.
With a flick of his right hand, holding the flat cane, he blocked the Seven Treasures Tree of the Sage Zhunti.
With a loud bang.
The two magical artifacts used for proving one's Dao clashed, and in an instant, a burst of seven-colored light erupted, with the aftershocks of the energy shooting out in all directions.
The Sage of Guidance and the Goddess Nuwa, being beings of primordial chaos, treated this energy as nothing.
The two sages each took a step forward, swiftly reaching Laozi's side. One brandished a long whip, the other brandished a whisk, attacking Laozi from both sides...
