Hu Le stood in front of the palace gate, his hands resting on his bamboo cane, quietly watching Gonggong and the others arrive on the clouds.
Hu Le knew very well that these people's purpose was simply to come and rescue him after learning that he had suppressed Houtu and Xuanming.
As for why they found out about this so quickly, Hu Le didn't bother to care.
Gonggong, Zhurong, and others descended from auspicious clouds not far away and strode aggressively to the opposite side of Hu Le.
"Xuanxiang! We've arrived! Why don't you release Houtu and Fellow Daoist Xuanming at once!"
Zhu Rong shouted loudly, making it clear that if Hu Le dared not agree, they would immediately take action.
Is this how you ask for help, fellow Daoist?
"What if I don't let go?" Hu Le said calmly.
Given their past grievances, they should be grateful that Hu Le didn't go looking for trouble with them.
Now that they dare to come to him like this, and even speak to him in this tone, Hu Le will not tolerate it.
"Bah! You're quite the conceited one. Who's begging you?" Zhu Rong sneered. "If you don't release them, don't even think about leaving this Houtu Palace!"
"You guys?" Hu Le scoffed, his tone full of disdain and contempt.
These people have always been his defeated adversaries, so how dare they speak to him in such a tone?
Could it be that after listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he felt that his cultivation had improved, which is why he dared to be so presumptuous?
They probably didn't realize that no matter how much they improved, as long as they hadn't achieved the Hunyuan realm, they had no right to speak loudly in front of him...
Hearing the disdain in Hu Le's words, Zhu Rong was quite annoyed. Without saying anything more, she raised her hand and released a burst of primordial fire towards Hu Le.
Seeing this, Hu Le neither dodged nor avoided it. He flicked his left sleeve, and the sleeve opened, causing the Heaven-Opening Divine Fire to obediently disappear into his sleeve.
"Such petty tricks, you dare to make a fool of yourself in front of me! It's utterly laughable!"
Hu Le sneered, and with a thought, a loud boom rang in everyone's ears. A dazzling sword light shot down from the sky and transformed into a star sword that hovered in front of him.
"go!"
Hu Le lightly touched the sword, and the Starry Sky Sword transformed into a beam of light that shot towards Zhu Rong once again.
Before the sword light even arrived, a wisp of innate killing intent locked onto his primordial spirit.
He couldn't help but shiver. He pointed at the sword light, and a spark of fire fell from his fingertip. It transformed in the wind and appeared out of thin air as a primordial fire mulberry tree, blocking his way.
This Fire Mulberry is entirely crimson, with innate spiritual fire swirling among its branches and leaves. Although it is not as good as the innate Fusang Tree, it is still a top-grade innate spiritual root. Furthermore, after being refined by Zhu Rong for hundreds of eons, it has gained countless mysteries.
Zhu Rong has always relied on this treasure for protection, which has helped him avoid many calamities.
Unfortunately, I ran into Hu Le today.
The Starry Sky Sword transformed into sword light and struck the Fire Mulberry Tree, instantly leaving a deep sword mark on the tree trunk. The innate spiritual fire swirling around the tree dissipated, turning into red flowers that fell to the ground.
The fire mulberry tree itself let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.
After the Starry Sky Sword cut down the Fire Mulberry Tree, its momentum continued, slashing towards Zhu Rong.
A flicker of panic crossed Zhu Rong's eyes. The Starry Sky Sword had already shot towards him. He had no time to dodge; the sword light had already pierced his chest and flown out from behind.
"ah!"
Zhu Rong cried out in pain, clutching his chest wound and backing away. Just as he was about to fall, Ju Mang immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Attack together!"
When Gonggong saw that Zhurong was so ineffective and was defeated in one move, he shouted and called on everyone to attack together.
However, the moment his voice rang out, a chilling killing intent was already upon him.
The sword light formed by the Starry Sky Sword turned slightly and shot towards him.
The sword light circled around him once, then cut him in two.
Gonggong had no choice but to escape from his primordial spirit and hide behind the crowd.
When Xizi and his men saw that their side had lost two generals, they realized that Hu Le's supernatural abilities were no longer what they used to be.
In the past, they had fought against Hu Le before, and they had also suffered defeats.
But I've never lost so badly before.
This is practically no different from a father beating his son...
Xi Zi and Zhu Jiuyin acted simultaneously, unleashing their most powerful divine abilities and spiritual treasures.
The entire space in front of the Houtu Palace shattered instantly, turning into chaos that engulfed Hu Le.
"clang!"
A melodious bell rang out from the chaos, and a moment later, Hu Le emerged, carrying the Chaos Bell.
He looked at everyone and said calmly, "Not bad, you all have made some progress over the years..."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand, and the vast expanse of space and time transformed into a universe within his palm.
Jumang and the others only felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in another world.
The next instant, before they could react, the whole world had turned upside down.
People fell from the world in the palm of his hand like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Before they could land, the world formed from the universe in their palms transformed into a towering, chaotic mountain that crashed down upon them.
With a loud bang!
The Chaos Mountain landed in front of Houtu Palace, and Gonggong and the others were suppressed at the foot of the mountain.
boom!
With a mighty strike from the foot of the mountain, the group blasted the chaotic mountain, which was the embodiment of the entire universe, into dust.
With the Chaos Bell atop his head and a bamboo staff in hand, Hu Le stepped forward and approached Ju Mang. The bamboo staff then fell from the air, striking Ju Mang on the forehead.
In a hurry, Jumang produced a wooden staff and held it above his head.
Bang!
The bamboo cane and the wooden cane collided with a loud bang.
Jumang's body trembled, and he instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving a bottomless hole in the ground.
It turned out that with just one strike, Jumang was blasted into the ground by Hu Le, and his fate was unknown for a time.
"You deserve to be hit too!"
Hu Le casually dealt with Ju Mang, took a step forward, and appeared in front of Xi Zi again, swinging his bamboo staff to strike Xi Zi's face.
Xi Zi had just escaped from the suppression and hadn't even figured out his surroundings when Hu Le swung his bamboo cane at him.
Xi Zi hurriedly looked up and took a step back, trying to dodge it.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo cane came flying like a shadow and landed squarely on his face with a snap.
The blow caused his face to swell and turn red, his vision to blur, and fire to erupt from his seven orifices. He collapsed backward, dizzy and disoriented.
"Xuanxiang brat! Don't be so insolent! Let me deal with you!"
Qiang Liang roared and lunged at Hu Le with a large stick in his hand.
"You! How much better are you than them?!"
Hu Le sneered and raised his bamboo staff overhead to meet the massive club that was about to fall on his head.
"Bang!"
Qiangliang slammed his stick heavily onto the bamboo cane.
Hu Le remained completely still, and his bamboo cane did not tremble at all.
Instead, Qiang Liang let out a strange cry and flew away, gripping the big stick with both hands.
Before he could even reach the highest point, Hu Le had a thought, and the Chaos Bell had already spun out and struck Qiang Liang.
With a thud.
The Chaos Bell emitted a dull, deafening roar, and Qiang Liang was once again thrown back into the air, his chest visibly dented...
