When Jieyin and Zhunti were already struggling against Hu Le alone, now that Tongtian Jiaozhu had joined the battle, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
So before the Tongtian Sect Leader could get close, Zhunti Daoist deliberately exposed a weakness in order to escape. He then used his left shoulder to take a blow from the staff, seized the opportunity to retreat quickly, and fled into the distance while clutching his injured shoulder.
Seeing this, the Guide Daoist knew that he could no longer fight today, so he immediately offered up the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to resist the Xuanhuang Image. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and followed the Zhunti Daoist to escape.
Hu Le hurriedly activated the Hongmeng Bell above his head, and a melodious and loud bell suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing the bell, Zhunti and Jieyin, who were fleeing in panic, stopped abruptly.
Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader swayed and instantly traversed time and space, firmly blocking in front of Zhunti and Jieyin.
He smiled, but his eyes were icy cold as he looked at the two people before him and said, "Fellow Daoists, where are you headed in such a hurry?"
Faced with the questioning of the Tongtian Sect Leader, Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
The churning chaotic energy around us seemed to have solidified, making it feel suffocating.
After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly unleashed his aura, and a powerful pressure swept towards Zhunti and Jieyin like a tidal wave.
Sensing this terrifying aura, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.
The resentment that Tongtian Jiaozhu held towards these two individuals was already deeply ingrained.
In the past, during the Investiture of the Gods, these two from the west shattered the Zhuxian Sword Formation, captured countless disciples of the Jie Sect, and caused the Jie Sect to be destroyed.
Not long after, the two of them beat him up again outside the Paradise, almost making him lose all face.
As the saying goes, fortune's wheel turns, and the cycle of karma is inevitable.
Today is the day he gets his revenge.
By this time, the two Western religious leaders had regained their composure.
Suddenly, the Daoist Zhunti roared, "Get out of the way!"
As he spoke, he summoned the Seven Treasures Tree and swung it towards the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The guide also threw out the blessed pestle at the opportune moment.
The Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly swung his Qingping Sword horizontally, forcefully blocking the attack of the Seven Treasures Tree.
At the same time, he suddenly raised his left sleeve, and a purple lightning bolt flashed across the chaos. The purple lightning hammer flew out like an arrow and slammed hard into the blessed divine pestle.
With a thought, Hu Le summoned the Primordial Bell.
A dense mass of primordial purple energy enveloped the bell, which shot toward the two with the force of a thunderbolt.
Faced with such a fierce attack, the Tongtian Sect Leader remained calm and composed. He gripped the Qingping Sword tightly, swung it forcefully, and instantly released two dazzling sword lights.
The two sword lights were like dragons emerging from the sea, with a powerful momentum, and they slashed straight at the two people in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, a sharp sword light slashed from the front, while the Primordial Bell roared from behind. The two were immediately caught in a perilous situation, unable to advance or retreat, and attacked from both sides.
The guide raised his hand and pointed, a golden light emanating from his fingertip, which touched the sword light.
With a pop, the sword light shattered.
At the same time, golden lotuses flew out from beneath her feet, heading towards the Primordial Bell that was hurtling towards her from behind.
As for Daoist Zhunti, he flicked his left hand, and the Azure Lotus Banner in his palm unfurled. A relic immediately rose from the banner, emitting countless auspicious rays, instantly dissipating the sword energy aimed at him.
With a loud bang.
The Primordial Bell forcefully knocked the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus aside, and then slammed it hard into the back of the Guide Daoist.
"Um……"
The guide let out a muffled groan and was instantly thrown out, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shift.
Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader stepped forward and plunged his sword deep into the chest of the Guide Daoist.
"Senior brother!"
Upon seeing this, Zhunti Daoist's eyes widened in fury, and he leaped up and rushed towards Jieyin Daoist.
Hu Le rushed forward and blocked him with his bamboo cane.
At this moment, the Guide Daoist endured the pain and took a step back, and the Qingping Sword was immediately withdrawn from his chest.
Even a saint sheds blood.
At this moment, his monk's robe was already stained red with blood.
The Master of the Heavens stepped forward with his sword and thrust it toward his heart once more.
With a thought, the Guide Daoist hurriedly summoned back the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and placed it in front of him.
The Tongtian Sect Leader's sword struck the golden lotus.
The twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit gently rotated, and the sword was already neutralized.
Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader unleashed several more sword strikes in a lightning-fast manner, but the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit floated left and right in front of Jieyin, blocking each of the sword strikes.
In the midst of his busy schedule, the Guide Daoist stole a glance at the Zhunti Daoist and saw that the Zhunti Daoist was being brutally beaten by Hu Le wielding a bamboo staff.
In the short time it took, Zhunti Daoist's face was so swollen that he was no longer recognizable as a human.
If this continues, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.
"Sigh! Oh well..."
The Guide Daoist sighed, took a few steps back, and seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to attack again, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Brother Daoist, wait! This humble Daoist concedes defeat!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader was also a man of principle, and immediately sheathed his sword and stopped.
On the other side, seeing that his senior brother had already admitted defeat, Zhunti Daoist realized that there was no point in him resisting any longer.
So, while being beaten by the purple bamboo staff and running away with his head in his hands, he loudly begged for mercy, "Brother Daoist, please stop hitting me. I admit defeat."
"Excellent! Your timely admission of defeat has saved you from a severe beating!"
Hu Le smiled indifferently and took a step back.
Zhunti Daoist's face twitched. His face was swollen from being slapped. Wasn't that a severe beating?
Zhunti Daoist didn't dare to say anything more and returned to Jieyin Daoist's side in a few steps.
Hu Le also stepped forward, and together with Tongtian Jiaozhu, they surrounded them in the middle.
"Since you have admitted defeat, why don't you hand over my disciple's treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti looked at Jieyin: "Senior Brother...?"
The Guide Daoist sighed inwardly, "In the end, he has no affinity with our sect..."
"Give it to him!" After a sigh, the Guide Daoist decided to return the Creation Cauldron.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti reluctantly took out the Creation Cauldron from his sleeve, immediately removed the seal on it, and tossed it to Hu Le.
Guan Kong, who was standing on Hu Le's shoulder, jumped down and took the Creation Cauldron in his hand.
"Thank you so much, teacher, for getting my precious treasure back."
Guan Kong, holding the Creation Cauldron, bowed respectfully to Hu Le.
"You're all set now. This treasure has finally fulfilled its destiny after this calamity..." Hu Le said calmly.
This Creation Cauldron was ultimately a primordial treasure born from the outer realms. Although Hu Le brought it to the prehistoric world, it was destined to be rejected by the Heavenly Dao of this realm.
Only by undergoing a tribulation can one integrate into the Heavenly Dao of this world.
Now that it has passed through the hands of two Heavenly Saints and circulated between the two religions, the Creation Cauldron has been gradually accepted by the Heavenly Dao due to the entanglement of cause and effect, and will inevitably be integrated into the Primordial Heavenly Dao in the future...
"Disciple understands..."
Guan Kong's mind shifted, and he understood the meaning behind Hu Le's words.
I truly do not know whether this was a matter of fate or a deliberate scheme by the teacher.
Anyway, for her, it was a blessing in disguise...
