Chapter 20 Rescue
Unfortunately, Di Jun's expectations were ultimately dashed.
After Taiyi had taken care of Xihe's serious injuries, how could he wait patiently? He immediately returned and, upon seeing this, his eyes widened in fury. The Chaos Bell resounded throughout the world.
"So noisy!" Luo Hou, frustrated by his inability to break through the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, turned around and flicked the Chaos Bell away with his spear. He then reversed the spearhead and stabbed Taiyi from front to back, delivering a piercing blow. For Luo Hou, a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal was like crushing a slightly larger ant, effortlessly.
Taiyi stopped abruptly. After Rahu appeared behind Taiyi, Taiyi fell to the ground from the sky, his fate unknown.
“Taiyi…Taiyi…” Di Jun shed tears of blood. Could it be that his brother was really going to perish here?
Luo Hou smiled with satisfaction. This move, which he had learned from that Jin Guang, was quite good and very suitable for him, Luo Hou.
Today is a good day, suitable for gouging out a left eye, sculpting a spirit for fun, and perhaps adding another collectible to your collection?
Unable to bear it any longer, Yuanshi took the risk and intervened, burning his merits to trap Taiyi under the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
Luo Hou's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He did not stop Yuan Shi. "You are already in a precarious situation, yet you still have the leisure to meddle in other people's business. It seems you do not know that you have lost contact with the other two Qing. What, do you still think you can contact them?"
Yuanshi's pupils contracted. There was such a person in the prehistoric world? Could this person be above the Great Luo realm? But what realm is above the Great Luo realm? Even his elder brother was only vaguely aware of it and couldn't find the direction, let alone him.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, it's my fault... that I've dragged you into this." Taiyi said weakly, clutching his empty chest.
Yuanshi ignored Taiyi, looked directly at Luohou, and said decisively, "You are not a member of the Phoenix Clan. If the Phoenix Clan had your abilities, even the Ancestral Phoenix would have to step down. But you are not well-known. You are hiding in the Phoenix Clan and have a great plan."
"What?" Feng Yao's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. He had been wondering when Feng Huang had become so powerful.
"What did you do to Feng Huang?" Feng Yan lost his composure, ignoring Di Jun who was still breathing on the ground, and transformed into his original form, unleashing a torrent of phoenix true fire at Luo Hou. "You are not him, where is he?"
"You dare to kill a member of the Phoenix Clan? You wait, the Ancestor will not let you off the hook." Feng Yao was no fool; he immediately transformed into his original form and flapped his wings to help fan the flames.
Luo Hou turned his head to look directly at Feng Yan, opened his mouth and inhaled. Feng Yan turned into wisps of black smoke, which Luo Hou inhaled into his stomach. In a moment, he exhaled, and the black smoke turned back into Feng Yan. However, its expression was exactly the same as Luo Hou's. It was actually an avatar.
Yuan Shi saw it clearly and gasped in shock. What kind of evil technique was this? A Phoenix Clan member with considerable strength couldn't even withstand a single move from this person.
In just a moment, he turned the soul inside a phoenix into his own puppet?
Upon witnessing Feng Yan's tragic end, Feng Yao let out a mournful cry, terrified out of his wits. He flapped his wings and fled at top speed, wanting only to bring the news back to the Phoenix Clan, where countless members had been secretly murdered.
How could Luo Hou possibly let Feng Yao go? A wisp of black smoke wrapped around Feng Yao, whose wings flapped rapidly, then slowly became mechanical, and finally fell down.
Luo Hou smiled with satisfaction. He had gained two identities that stirred up trouble for free. Sure enough, Hongjun was a jinx. Without him, his luck was in his hands.
Then I glanced at Yuanshi, who was struggling to maintain his position. There were three troublesome figures here.
Luo Hou completely disregarded the warning from the Heavenly Dao. Why would Luo Hou be afraid of a mere Heavenly Dao?
The God-Slaying Spear has been unleashed once more, determined to shatter the shell of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.
Yuanshi couldn't just stand by and wait for Luohou to break his Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, so he took another risk and attacked. Yu Ruyi met the disguised God-Slaying Spear head-on. Although she fought and retreated, with the blessing of merit, she gradually stabilized the situation.
However, the merits of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda are limited and will eventually be exhausted. What will happen then?
Rahu went his own way, and Hongjun was still resisting the Dao and refusing to accept his fate, so naturally he refused to listen and save people. Heaven had no choice but to follow the cause and effect to deduce a sliver of hope...
A great light shone brightly within the Moon Prison Pool. Haotian emerged, sword in hand. Only then did Changhao's Great Dao of Light achieve its full potential, granting him the infinite possibility of directly proving the Great Dao.
Touching the two characters 'Cang Min' on the sword, Chang Hao smiled. Life's encounters are unpredictable; who can know what will happen until it's too late?
Unexpectedly, a primordial spiritual treasure would transform into a primordial supreme treasure at the last moment. This was a primordial supreme treasure, and even Hongjun only had a few. From today onwards, he would also be an immortal with a companion primordial spiritual treasure and a natal primordial supreme treasure.
Just as Chang Hao was fondling the two characters 'Cang Min' on the sword, a clock with an ancient and unchanging aura appeared in front of him.
Chang Hao, bewildered, tentatively reached out his hand, only to see the Chaos Bell land in his palm without any hesitation, transforming into an ancient and elegant small bell. Upon closer inspection, one could even discern a docile quality in the bell itself.
Chang Hao held the Chaos Bell, at a loss. Who didn't know that the Chaos Bell was Taiyi's natal magic weapon? How come he looked more like the owner of the Chaos Bell than Taiyi?
"Not good!" Chang Hao suddenly realized a possibility, gripped the Chaos Bell with both hands, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing the Taiyi direction...
"Mount Sumeru..." Chang Hao murmured softly. The next moment, he crossed the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, and appeared in front of Luo Hou in time, just in time to block Luo Hou's deadly shot.
“It’s you,” Luo Hou’s smile widened. “I never expected that it would be you who came!” It seems that Hongjun doesn’t want to save these people either. He probably harbors no less malice towards these primordial beings than he does.
As long as Hongjun refuses to merge with the Dao, Luo Hou's chances of being the first to attain enlightenment will increase. Thinking of this, Luo Hou's frustration lessened.
Chang Hao's expression changed drastically. "It's you, Luo Hou."
"Chang Hao, run!" Taiyi, who was on his deathbed, sat up in shock and immediately sensed that the Chaos Bell was on Chang Hao. With the Chaos Bell, there was hope for survival.
"Come here quickly." Yuan Shi stared intently at Chang Hao, his mind tense. He would intervene as soon as the mysterious man made a move.
Chang Hao turned to the side and took in the entire situation; Taiyi Dijun looked particularly miserable.
"So you know my name. Good thing you came. You're quite clever, delivering yourself to my door, saving me the trouble of searching the entire prehistoric world," Luo Hou looked Chang Hao up and down. "It seems you've reaped quite a harvest in these past few hundred years."
Luo Hou's eyes gleamed with interest. "I've changed my mind. How about you come work for me? That man has no heart; you won't get away with it."
"Enough with the nonsense." Chang Hao knew all too well the perverse tastes of people like Luo Hou. If you agreed, he would think you lacked integrity; if you disagreed, he would think you were ungrateful; if you were obsequious, he would think you were shameful; if you were arrogant, he would think you were hypocritical. In short, he was mentally ill, so just ignore him.
Luo Hou became even more interested; he was incredibly excited about poaching Hongjun's man.
Chang Hao stood ready, the Chaos Bell hanging in his left hand and the Cangmin Sword in his right. Luo Hou watched him coldly, looking quite imposing.
“Interesting,” Luo Hou said sourly, staring at the two innate treasures. “That guy is quite rich.”
They clearly didn't realize that the bell in Chang Hao's hand was the Chaos Bell.
Chang Hao struck first, his Cang Min sword flashing like stars, its sword intent vast and boundless, like the rising sun, its might dominating the world.
Although Yuanshi did not specialize in swordsmanship, he had become a master of it through exposure to it. He used the Jade Ruyi in conjunction with the Cangmin Sword to address the shortcomings of Changhao's swordsmanship.
Rahu's spear passed without leaving a trace, carried by the laws of nature, clearly aiming to save effort and capture the enemy in one fell swoop.
Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to meet the attack. Fortunately, Luo Hou used the law that he was least afraid of. He was familiar with the law. The law of light naturally restrained Luo Hou's demonic path. He actually withstood Luo Hou's move and did not lose ground.
Yuanshi's timely intervention compensated for Chang Hao's lack of power.
Luo Hou reassessed Chang Hao's worth. "That Hongjun fellow actually likes to act like a teacher? I really can't believe it."
Chang Hao, having succeeded in his attack, immediately withdrew his sword and returned to defense. Chang Hao abandoned his previous aggressive style and instead summoned the Chaos Bell, channeling his spiritual energy and imbuing it with his laws. The bell tolled, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, directly striking the black lotus that controlled them, and incidentally taking Di Jun into the Chaos Bell.
At this very moment! Yuanshi placed his palm on Chang Hao's back, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed into Chang Hao's body, helping him to hold on longer so that he could be brought under the protection of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.
"You..." Luo Hou narrowed his eyes, "You are also light..." His subordinates put in their full strength. Damn light, Chang Hao is the one who most resembles Chaos.
Chang Hao's heart clenched. He desperately tried to defend himself using the Chaos Bell, but suddenly realized something: Di Jun and Tai Yi's miserable state might, probably, or perhaps, be due to him.
