On the other hand, Shen Gongbao was unaware that Nezha had misunderstood him.
Of course, even if Shen Gongbao found out, he wouldn't care too much.
At this moment, Shen Gongbao looked ahead at the road with a solemn expression.
"A Fiend has actually appeared in the world here?"
Before Shen Gongbao, Huodou resembled a giant black iron dog with fiery red eyes and jet-black scales all over its body. It walked on flames, turning everything in its path into scorched earth.
As a primordial species born at the beginning of time, ferocious beasts like Huodou are bloodthirsty and violent, with astonishing combat power. They can reach the Golden Immortal realm upon adulthood, and due to the special nature of ferocious beasts, their actual combat power far exceeds that of normal cultivators of the same level.
However, Shen Gongbao showed no panic.
He hadn't been cultivating in vain during this time. Although his cultivation level hadn't yet broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, he was only one step away.
The transformation of the Chaos Body made Shen Gongbao's own foundation no less than that of the current Huo Dou.
With the completion of the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Shen Gongbao made further progress in his physical strength.
Seeing the monster rushing towards him, Shen Gongbao's eyes turned cold. Without using the Thunder Whip, he met it head-on with his bare hands.
"Bang!"
Huo Dou's sharp claws lightly grazed Shen Gongbao's sturdy body, leaving a conspicuous bloodstain. At the same time, Shen Gongbao's fist, carrying the force of wind and thunder, also slammed heavily into Huo Dou's broad chest. The collision between the two stirred up invisible ripples.
Looking at the scars left on his arm by Huo Dou, Shen Gongbao's brows furrowed involuntarily.
However, this barely perceptible worry was quickly replaced by Shen Gongbao's relieved smile.
After all, the fact that he could only suffer a minor injury without breaking his bones when facing a ferocious demon beast like Huodou, which was at the Golden Immortal level, was enough to demonstrate that his physical body was far more resilient than that of ordinary people.
However, his Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is only at the beginning, and his cultivation level is only at the Profound Immortal Realm. He still has a lot of room for improvement.
With a shift in his stance, Shen Gongbao threw another punch.
Just then, a flying sword came flying straight toward Huo Dou from afar.
Shen Gongbao raised an eyebrow and quickly retreated.
Since the newcomer's identity was unknown, Shen Gongbao decided to suspend his attack on Huodou as a precaution.
The next moment, Shen Gongbao finally saw who it was.
The newcomer was dressed in a flowing, moon-white fairy dress, with a star-studded jade hairpin adorning her dark hair. A blood-red dot of vermilion was visible between her brows, and her eyes seemed to hold a thousand galaxies flowing within them.
What a beautiful and graceful woman!
Living in the sacred land of the Chan Sect, Shen Gongbao had seen many stunningly beautiful women.
But those who can give you such a refreshing feeling as the person in front of you are rare indeed.
After the woman landed, she waved her hand, and the flying sword she had just summoned automatically returned to her hand.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful! This ferocious beast, Huodou, is quite powerful. You are no match for it. Let me handle it!"
Having said that, the woman drew her sword and attacked the monster.
The shimmering light of swords is also a breathtaking sight.
Suddenly, Shen Gongbao took a step forward and reached out to grab the woman from behind.
The woman was startled and quickly stepped aside to avoid it.
But the next moment, the wariness on her face turned into gratitude.
Because at that moment she saw Shen Gongbao holding Huodou's flaming whip between his hands.
However, taking advantage of her focus on attacking and her lack of attention to anything else, Huodou suddenly launched a surprise attack on her with its flaming whip.
If Shen Gongbao hadn't suddenly intervened, she would have been severely injured by that scourge.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Shen Gongbao did not respond, but only reminded him:
"She's going to fight desperately, be careful!"
The woman turned her head to look at Huodou and saw that Huodou's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was filled with strong fire spiritual power.
As a dignified Golden Immortal and a highly accomplished disciple of the Intercepting Sect, she originally intended to help Shen Gongbao resolve the situation when he encountered the ferocious beast Huodou. However, she never expected that Shen Gongbao would have to remind her in the end.
Seeing that Huodou wanted to go further, the woman became furious and shouted:
"You think I can't do anything to you, you mere Golden Immortal beast? Let's see if you can withstand my Eye-Piercing Pearl attack!"
With that, a dark red pearl flew from the woman's hand.
"ah!"
A scream rang out, and one of Huodou's eyes had turned into a puddle of flesh.
"Hmph, I'll teach you to slaughter living beings, you deserve it!"
The woman snorted coldly, a hint of smugness in her voice.
This eye-piercing bead was a primordial spiritual treasure bestowed upon her by her master. Its origin was extraordinary, formed from a wisp of turbid energy at the beginning of chaos. It specifically damages the eyes of the primordial spirit, and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would shed tears and blood if caught off guard.
At this moment, she unleashed the Eye-Piercing Bead, and its power was indeed as astonishing as she had imagined.
Seeing this, she used the same trick again, activating the Eye-Piercing Bead once more, and stabbed at Huodou's other eye in the same manner.
Another shrill scream rang out, and Huodou's other eye was instantly gouged out.
At this point, Huodou had become completely blind and could only roll around on the ground in pain.
Seeing this, the woman drew her sword incantation, and a flash of cold light appeared. The flying sword shot out like a meteor, heading straight for Huo Dou's throat.
With a soft "plop," Huodou's body shuddered violently, completely losing its life force, and lay motionless on the ground.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand, and recalled her flying sword.
She turned to look at Shen Gongbao, expecting to see a look of surprise on his face. After all, she had just so easily killed Huodou, and her strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
However, to her utter surprise, she was not greeted by Shen Gongbao's astonishment, but rather by a sentence:
"This humble Taoist priest, Shen Gongbao, greets Fellow Daoist Qiongxiao!"
Upon hearing this, Qiongxiao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
After a long while, Qiongxiao finally came to her senses and screamed:
"Are you Shen Gongbao, the one whose master-disciple relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun was severed?"
She never expected that she would encounter Shen Gongbao, the abandoned disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, in this remote and impoverished place.
What surprised her even more was that Shen Gongbao was able to recognize her identity at a glance.
It should be noted that her appearance was transformed by a spell cast by her elder brother Zhao Gongming before she left the Three Immortal Islands, making it impossible for ordinary people to discern the change.
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly:
"No one should be able to impersonate me, so why did I recognize you?"
Shen Gongbao's gaze shifted to the eye-popping bead in Qiongxiao's hand:
"It's all because of your magical artifact!"
When Shen Gongbao first saw Qiongxiao, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. However, because Qiongxiao had changed her appearance, Shen Gongbao did not recognize her at first. It was not until Qiongxiao used the magic weapon, the Eye-Piercing Pearl, that Shen Gongbao no longer doubted her identity.
