Chapter 420 The Two Saints Fall into the Trap
“Sage,” Shen Gongbao rushed forward, “Buddha is the Way, why should a sage force others to do what is difficult for them.”
"Get out of here..." Enough with the nonsense. So many people have died in the West, how can we let this piece of meat go?
Zhunti sent Shen Gongbao flying with a single palm strike. If Shen Gongbao hadn't proven to be quite effective, Zhunti's palm strike would have been fatal.
"Junior brother..." Kong Xuan was so angry that his teeth itched. He took out the Heaven-Splitting Blade and took the initiative to strike Zhunti with it. Zhunti did not move his eyebrows or eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, the Heaven-Splitting Blade was knocked into the Ten Deadly Formations by Zhunti.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kong Xuan immediately took out the God-Slaying Whip and swung it at Zhunti. Even if he was knocked away by the sage Zhunti, it would be better than the God-Slaying Whip falling into Zhunti's hands immediately.
Zhunti took out the Seven Treasures Tree and wrapped it around the God-Slaying Whip. He aimed carefully and threw the God-Slaying Whip at the Ten Deadly Formations again, intending to use one arrow to kill two enemies at once.
Chang Hao, who was inside the formation, got up to deal with the bird that had come from outside. His communication talisman lit up, and the Grand Tutor sent a message saying that Chuanyun Pass could be retaken the next day, which was good news.
On his side, he needed to find a reason to let Zhou's army enter the pass. If Yuanshi Tianzun didn't come, it would be difficult for him to find a reason.
A blade shot towards him, but Chang Hao spun around to dodge the lightning-fast strike. He then reached out and grasped the hilt, gazing at the divine seal on the blade. His expression paused slightly, and he was about to accept this divine gift when a divine whip came whistling through the air…
Kong Xuan had no other options, so he used his Five-Colored Divine Light to sweep towards Zhunti, hoping to destroy the Seven Treasures Tree.
"Stop..." Zhunti pointed his index finger at Kong Xuan's brow, and Kong Xuan uncontrollably transformed back into his original form, flapping his wings, his beak slightly open, and phoenix true fire gushing out.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhunti was putting out the fire, Kong Xuan rushed into the Ten Deadly Formations in a panic. Zhunti, who was watching the Ten Deadly Formations from the outside, brought down a palm strike from the sky. The materials used in the Ten Deadly Formations were not top-notch, and they could not withstand the full force of a saint's attack. They were immediately reduced to dust.
Chang Hao held the God-Slaying Whip, swung it to neutralize the remaining force of the Sage's palm strike, and then bound Kong Xuan tightly.
Tongtian suddenly stood up, shouting hoarsely, "Di Xin, spare his life!!! If you don't feed Kong Xuan to the Spirit Pearl, I will be your saint!!!"
His disciple Kong Xuan... no, Kong Xuan was already in a sorry state when he came in.
With the Ten Deadly Formations no longer blocking their way, the deathly silent city gates came into view, causing a stir among the Zhou army. When had the Shang army withdrawn? Now that the formations were broken, should they advance or not?
"Wait." Ji Fa gritted his teeth. This Taoist priest who suddenly appeared was so infuriating. Where did he come from? He destroyed their reinforcements with just one move.
"Hey, you'd better run for your life." Kong Xuan looked at the mysterious masked man in front of him and felt that he was somewhat familiar.
Chang Hao, with his left hand holding down Kong Xuan and his right hand pointing the spear tip at Zhunti, asked the silly bird in his hand, "Which sage is this?"
"Sage Zhunti!!!" Kong Xuan looked up at the sky in despair. He was finished, and the person who had bound him was finished too.
"They're all here, which saves me trouble. I'll now guide you two back to the West." Zhunti looked Chang Hao up and down, extremely satisfied. He had struck gold.
Tongtian rolled his eyes. He saw that Zhunti and Jieyin were fighting him to a draw. He then regained his composure, sat down cross-legged, and asked Zhunti if he could come in and keep him company.
"Settle." Zhunti raised his hand and pointed.
"..." Chang Hao asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Seeing the person before him with lively eyes, lightly brushing eyelashes, and tilting their head slightly as they looked at him suspiciously, showing no signs of being frozen in place, Zhunti broke out in a cold sweat. "Freeze!"
"What is a sage doing? What kind of move is this? I've never learned it before." Chang Hao extended his index finger, his eyes fixed on Zhunti. "Freeze!!!"
"!!!" Zhunti felt layers of pressure pressing down on him. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. A golden lotus narrowly protected Zhunti. Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief. His senior brother had arrived.
"So there's another one." Chang Hao threw Kong Xuan along with the God-Slaying Whip into the Zhuxian Pendant, and then, facing the two sages, he carefully took out the Cangmin Sword.
Facing two opponents at once, Chang Hao dared not be careless, and he did not know whether these two were stronger or weaker than the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The moment Tongtian, inside the Zhuxian pendant, untied Kong Xuan was extremely dangerous; Kong Xuan almost had Di Xin feed him that strange spiritual pearl.
"It's good that you're alright. When Master arrives, he will surely rescue us." Guang Chengzi still firmly believes that his master will come to save them.
"Quiet, don't bother me." Tongtian stared intently at the water mirror he had just erected. Although he couldn't get out, life with Di Xin was truly colorful. If he were released now, Tongtian wouldn't want to leave.
Kong Xuan immediately jumped up and found the best spot to watch the game. He really felt like he knew that person.
"Fellow Daoist, why make a futile struggle? Come with me back to the Western Paradise. I am willing to guide you and take you as my disciple, helping you to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible." The guide was compassionate and kind, patiently advising him.
Chang Hao drew his cold sword, its light shining like ten suns in the sky, shaking heaven and earth. Even the veteran quasi-saints were moved. Wait, something's not right.
They were familiar with this sword intent.
Isn't this the sword intent of the mountain lord of Lishan?
Those who knew more, knowing that the Lord of Lishan and the Heavenly Emperor were the same person, immediately started conspiracy theories. They said that there is no such thing as unchanging friendship, and given the Heavenly Emperor's power, he had indeed become unable to tolerate any powerful forces in the prehistoric world other than himself.
This Investiture of the Gods was truly a Investiture of the Gods calamity. It seems that the true disciples of the Chan and Jie sects were all targeted by the Heavenly Emperor. Even the Western Sect suffered heavy losses, and there was not a single winner.
Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed slightly. Oh no, Hongyun has come out of the mountain.
Wait a minute, Zhen Yuanzi regained his composure, and Hongyun, now known as Yun Zhongzi, was also listed on the Investiture of the Gods as Qingfu Zhengshen.
He was sent out of the mountains this time by the order of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to guard the Investiture of the Gods and guide the true spirits on the list. No matter what, his life would be safe, so he had no need to be nervous.
Zhunti's expression was stern, and Jieyin's attitude was cautious. They dared not hold back. The Golden Lotus of Merit and the Seven Treasures Tree met Cangmin's Sword, and the more they fought, the more surprised they became.
When Chang Hao drew his sword, it was like divine lightning descending from the heavens as punishment; when he stopped, it transformed into a means to save all living beings and seize that last chance for survival. It also possessed the supreme spirit to change the world, killing the two saints until their bodies were covered in red.
The mask on his face could not withstand the saint's power and turned to dust. Kong Xuan was dumbfounded. Then he looked at his master beside him with sympathy in his eyes. Master, you have been tricked.
Your Majesty and Second Master Uncle both need labor and to protect their disciples, and you and the Western Religion are the ones who will be taken advantage of.
Just as the two saints thought they had accurately assessed the upper limit of the mysterious person's strength, Chang Hao suddenly changed his sword intent. While the Cangmin Sword used 'A Glimmer of Hope', another sword suddenly appeared. The supreme sword intent of boundless love, carrying the great vow to save all living beings, was once again used as the 'Double Sword Combination' of Tongtian Luoshou.
With a single sword strike, the connection between the Golden Lotus of Merit and the Two Saints was severed, leading to the defeat of the Guide.
Two swords cleaved the Seven Treasures Tree, and Zhunti lost the treasure;
Three swords, each piercing a saint, none of the swords were spared...
