Chapter 179: We are of the same origin, why are we so anxious to fight each other? Li Ran arrives, and the dust settles
Deep at the end of the trench, there was chaos. Two terrifying balls of light kept colliding, sometimes bursting out with dazzling light and heat like the sun, and sometimes quickly separating. The confrontation between them involved the powerful power of heaven and earth, and the ocean current seemed to be boiling.
Jiang Lan was closely watching the movements through the existence of the Wanling Blood Puppet.
The Wanling Blood Puppet had already exploded in the fight between the two and turned into a ball of blood mist. However, the Wanling Blood Puppet originally did not have a specific state. Although it was broken up, it did not affect its existence.
As long as Jiang Lan himself is not injured, the Wanling Blood Puppet will not disappear.
At the moment, neither Huangfu Hao himself nor the Wushang Demon God who descended here have the energy to care about such a "barbarian".
"Huangfu Hao, you are so bold that you dare to deceive and betray me..."
The vast and deep ancient syllables rang out there, shaking the entire seabed.
The demon's tooth was crystal clear and floating in the sea. It seemed to be reviving at this moment, and an ancient and powerful will emerged from it.
The rolling demonic energy gathered and condensed into a burly tall figure with three heads and six arms, flying hair, and arrogance. In one hand he held a black sky sword and in the other hand he held a black pagoda, and his other arms also held different weapons.
The angry voice seemed to contain some kind of rules, sweeping out like a sickle, and the surrounding seabed was rolling. The broken fragments of weapons exploded and turned into powder.
The Demon God Wushang was unable to send down his true body, but even some of his will was incredibly powerful. Ordinary powerful beings would probably have had their internal organs shattered by his roar.
The real Huangfu Hao has a clear face and deep eyes, as if he is shrouded in a clear air. He is also very powerful and is not afraid of a demon god at all.
And in his palm, a crystal fang of the devil also emerged, but there was no demonic energy in it. Instead, it had some kind of mental connection with his own mind, and was refined by him to become his own.
"This is a deal between you and me, so how can there be any deception or betrayal? If you are honest and don't have any thoughts, why should I be on guard?"
Huangfu Hao's face was dull, and the demon's fang was sparkling and melting between his fingers.
The next moment, it turned into a silver sword with an incredibly sharp edge and flowing with rich glow, as if it would rise into the sky at any time.
This is one of the teeth of the Wushang Demon God's body. It was sent to this side by Wushang Demon God through great means. It was originally an important part of his plan.
Using this tooth as a carrier to carry one's own will, the two have the same origin and can unleash even more powerful power.
However, Huangfu Hao had already seen through its true nature. After obtaining the Demon's Tooth, he successfully resolved the backup plan left by the Demon Wushang and refined it for his own use.
In addition, he also used Helian Wen as a chess piece, engraved a large formation in his flesh and blood, and waited for the arrival of the Demon God Wushang to counterattack.
Unfortunately, these demons who had lived for a long time were very cunning and did not completely trust him. They even made a deal with the barbarian gods of the barbarians and brought back another demon fang.
Huangfu Hao had not received any contact from his clone for a long time, so he felt something was wrong. He thought that an accident might have happened there, so he came to the trench early and waited. As expected, he found the trace of the barbarian leader.
"You despicable human, I shouldn't have trusted you and given you my teeth..."
Part of the will of the Demon God Wushang has already descended here through the Demon God's Fang, but because of the existence of Huangfu Hao, he is not completely sure that he can seize the Ancient Talisman of Freedom.
Another part of his will is still in Helian Wen's body. If it is forcibly extracted, the movements on the Demon Abyss side will inevitably be noticed by the three guardian families.
With the participation of multiple forces, his chances of seizing the Ancient Symbol of Freedom will become even slimmer.
The reason why the Demon God Wushang was so angry at this time was because of this reason.
"It's useless to say so much now. I am determined to get the Ancient Symbol of Freedom. Today I will kill the god to prove my truth."
Huangfu Hao's expression was indifferent. Even in the depths of the trench, his robes fluttered and he carried an invincible momentum. The silver sword transformed from the demon's fang emitted a dazzling light, and a brilliant sword beam burst out between his palms and fingers, slashing directly down.
This sword was extremely slow, but it seemed to freeze the seabed. With one sword, yin and yang divided the day and night, time was born and died, the sea was separated, and the scenes on both sides were black and white, with extremely powerful force.
The Demon God Wushang strode forward, wielding the Heavenly Sword with one of his arms. A pure black sword energy, spanning a hundred miles, swept past and collided with the sword.
In an instant, the seabed was turned upside down. Although it was only a moment, it collided thousands of times. This was a collision of Taoism and magic, constantly entangled with each other and bombarded each other.
During this process, the towering mountain suppressing the bottom of the sea began to tremble, and it seemed that the seal would be broken at any time.
The battle between the two broke out again, and it was far more intense than before. If this place was not under the sea, with endless pressure coming from all directions, the noise would have been terrifying, and it would have been easy to destroy mountains and cities.
Jiang Lan concealed his own energy and did not move. In order to avoid the aftermath of the two people's attacks from affecting himself, he even used several self-defense talismans.
At this moment his breath seemed to have completely calmed down, like an old monk in meditation or the Black Tortoise returning to the sea. He was not sure how long the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman could last. Both the Wushang Demon God and Huangfu Hao himself were not easy to deal with. They were extremely powerful. It was unknown how long this fight would last.
He has a lot of cards up his sleeve, but facing such an existence, he still cannot act rashly and needs to wait for the most appropriate opportunity.
At this moment, he was like a rock that had restrained all his energy, or like a hunter quietly waiting for his prey.
The longer the time, the better it is for him.
After the situation on Feixian Island stabilizes, Grandpa Li Ran will show his prowess at the critical moment, win over the hearts of the people, and then free up his hands. No matter the will of the Demon God Wushang or Huangfu Hao himself, they will not be to be feared.
Time passes slowly.
In the outside world, on Feixian Island, there is chaos everywhere, monsters are rampant, wailing is everywhere, the city is broken and devastated.
The three guardian families did nothing, but the four royal families stood up at this time, became the backbone, and began to lead the various cultivators to form a team to resist the monsters.
Seeing this, the other families also joined in. No matter what, the four great royal families represented the Great Xia Dynasty. Once Feixian Island fell, Zhongtianzhou would inevitably be affected.
The Great Xia Dynasty will definitely send people to support us now that they know what's happening here. Now we just have to hold on through this period of time and wait for the reinforcements.
With this idea in mind, all the major families also contributed and began to mobilize the power of their clans.
The living fossil of the tribe, who would originally only be called upon in life-and-death situations, also appeared, and then led many tribesmen to various places with the most monsters to provide support.
It was at this time that news came from the Gongsun family that made everyone feel cold and shocked.
Gongsun Long, an ancestor of the Gongsun family, was ambushed by the Helian family and suffered serious injuries. He is now at the end of his rope and will not live long.
The Helian family has evil ambitions and is in collusion with the demons, so anyone can kill them.
Not long after this news spread, the gates of the Helian family's small world opened, and a number of ancient warships rumbled out and rushed across the sky. Many powerful men followed closely behind, heading straight for the Gongsun family's territory to launch an attack.
Such a scene shocked everyone.
It was thought that the Helian family would go to war with the Tantai family first, but who could have thought that in the end they would fight with the Gongsun family first.
Everyone's heart was completely chilled. They no longer held any hope for the Helian family and could only place their hopes on the rest of the land of Kyushu.
The Tan Tai family was attacked by monsters and was unable to take care of itself. Helian Wen, who had been possessed by a monster, was so powerful that he was able to delay the three ancestors of the Tan Tai family with his own strength. This was simply incredible.
So at this time, we can no longer count on the Tan Tai family.
The Prince Zhong's Mansion is now already crowded with people. The leaders of all the major families, other immortal sects, and major chambers of commerce stationed here have all rushed here.
Some of them even cried and cursed the shameless behavior of the Helian family. At such a critical moment, they took advantage of the situation to rob their goods and swept away all kinds of treasures and rare treasures.
Some medicinal fields, gambling stone shops, and weapon pavilions of the major families were also looted. Some were done by people from the Helian family, while other independent cultivators took advantage of the situation to rob. In short, they all suffered heavy losses.
Although Prince Zhong and others were comforting everyone, they were also troubled at the same time. The mysterious and powerful woman in white had long disappeared. They thought that with her in place, when the monsters attacked, she would take action and suppress the situation with supreme means.
But who knew that she had disappeared long ago, and no one knew where she went.
Now they can only hope that the Great Xia Dynasty will send reinforcements as soon as possible. After all, Feixian Island is their root. They have lived here for thousands of years and have deep feelings for it. Besides, even if they evacuate and relocate now, it will be too late.
And what they are most worried about now is Jiang Lan.
According to the retainers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in order to rescue his two followers, he risked his life to fall into a trap that had been set by the barbarians and exchanged the two people out.
Now the two followers are safe, but his whereabouts and life are unknown...
If anything goes wrong or unexpectedly happens to Jiang Lan, the Prime Minister's Mansion will blame him, and the four princes will be in big trouble.
Several people are now having a headache. They have contacted various forces from the outside world through many means. Currently, Nanhuangzhou, the closest state to Feixian Island, is more than ten thousand miles away. If Xia Jin, the female military god of Daxia, learns about this, she will send troops over immediately, but it will take at least seven days.
Meanwhile, the movements on the other side of the Demon Abyss were becoming more and more shocking, with the rolling demonic energy so overwhelming that it was no exaggeration to describe it as covering the sky and the sun.
No one knows what kind of powerful monster will rush out from there next.
“At present, we have no choice but to gather our forces and guard the cities closest to the Demon Abyss first to stop the monsters from attacking. Only by blocking them can we deal with the monsters roaming everywhere and delay the time as much as possible…” Prince Zhong and others did not dare to delay at all.
Although there is help from a group of retainers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this little help can only be described as a drop in the bucket.
Two days passed.
Wumo City is located on the border of the Demon Abyss and is one of the large cities governed by the Tantai family.
But now, this populous city has long been breached by monsters. The demonic energy is everywhere, covering the sky like a dark cloud. The city is in ruins and devastated.
The ancient city towers and palaces spread out, burned by a dark flame, making crackling sounds.
The black smoke lingers all day long, gathering in the sky, as if many dead souls are crying in it.
There were many monsters roaming the long street, with ferocious appearances. Some had the characteristics of ferocious beasts, like tigers and wolves, and some had human heads, with huge black wings like bats growing out of their backs. They circled in the low sky, spewing black flames and mucus from their mouths...
Chi, chi, chi…
A silver-white streak passed through the sky above the towering city, and with a "puff", it pierced a human-like monster. Black blood splattered everywhere, staining the long silver hair with a dirty color.
Ao Yin fell down holding a silver spear. His bright silver armor had been stained with black blood over the past few days and was no longer shiny.
She was originally a bit of a germaphobe, but now she has become accustomed to these dirty and smelly smells.
"This city has been breached by monsters. Staying here will only lead to death. You should flee quickly."
Ao Yin looked at the family of three who were blocked at the entrance of an alley by a group of monsters. He shook his wrist and threw out the spear, which was like a silver lightning and pierced through all the monsters in an instant.
"Thank you for saving my life, young lady..."
"I don't know what the girl's name is. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay her for saving my life."
The male owner of this family of three is a middle-aged casual cultivator. He has a decent aura and is at the fifth level of cultivation. However, he is now exhausted and has many injuries on his body. He has reached the point of exhaustion.
He was training in other places when he heard the news of monster invasion at home. He hurried back and almost failed to save his wife and children.
However, with his current strength, it is almost impossible for him to escape from the encirclement of monsters with his wife and children.
But he still gritted his teeth and persevered, escorting his wife and children to the alley, protecting them behind him and preventing them from suffering any harm.
Ao Yin glanced at the man, thought for a moment, and casually threw out a bottle of healing pills, saying, "You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that I am Jiang Lan, the son of the Xiangguo Mansion, and I was ordered to come here to rescue you."
"You can no longer stay in Wumo City. Take your wife and children and leave."
As soon as she finished her words, her figure disappeared into the distance like a long rainbow, and then she plunged into the torrent of monsters not far away.
The middle-aged casual cultivator carefully put away the bottle of healing medicine, was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Young Master Jiang Lan from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
However, he did not think much about it, but just remembered the favor, and then ran to the other side of the city gate with his wife and children.
"It seems that Ao Yin is sincerely planning to work for Jiang Lan?"
"This woman is so arrogant and looks down on all the men in the world, but who would have thought that this day would come? It turns out that you have to be stronger than her to conquer her, tut tut..."
Jin Ming, Yuan Kong and others who were not far away were also taking action to deal with the monsters together. Hearing Ao Yin's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, somewhat amazed.
However, Kong Xuan vaguely knew what Ao Yin was thinking and secretly gave the two of them a blank look.
Being stronger than Ao Yin is only one aspect. The two of them had no idea how dangerous and desperate the situation she and Ao Yin were facing at the time. They were even desperate and silently waiting for death to come.
When they were on the verge of suffocation, they suddenly saw a most unlikely hand reaching out, rescuing them and guarding their safety.
Honestly speaking, it's impossible not to be touched.
Women are somewhat more emotional than men. Even in the past few days, she couldn't help but recall the scene of that day and the figure blocking the two of them many times in her mind.
"It's been two days, and there's still no news. It's still unclear whether he's alive or dead. It's really worrying..."
Kong Xuan sighed again in her heart.
Outside the Gongsun family's small world, the scene these days has been quite astonishing. Ancient warships rumble in, with runes flashing on them, condensing into terrifying beams of light that continue to bombard them.
However, no matter how the Helian family attacked, no one from the Gongsun world came out, as if they were hiding in a tortoise shell.
Outside the barrier of the small world, a faint glow was flowing, like the sound of the sun and the moon, filled with a terrifying atmosphere, it was like an insurmountable minefield.
The two ancestor-level figures, Helian Rujian and Helian Yuansheng, worked together and produced a banner in their hands that was flashing with lightning. The banner was blurry and hazy, as if it was nourished by a pool of thunder.
This is the Lei Yuan Zhen Fu, one of the Helian family's heritage. It is a rune refined by the saint ancestors. It can trigger the power of the Nine Heavens True Thunder and has the terrifying power to break and tear apart all kinds of formations and restrictions.
At this moment, as the two of them sacrificed the talisman, the outside of the Gongsun World suddenly became dark, and dark clouds gathered one after another, like a majestic ancient continent.
There were roaring thunders and flashing lightning. Thunder dragons rushed past with crackling sounds, turning into a sea of thunder. All kinds of thunder balls gathered together, ready to swoop down at any time and bombard the small world ahead.
Boom!!!
The next moment, the sky and the earth suddenly became dark, and a deafening and terrifying thunder exploded in the ears of countless living cultivators. Then, a lightning bolt as thick as a mountain suddenly submerged down.
The Gongsun family's small world shook violently, the barrier burst out with a terrible momentum, ripples spread one after another, and the light was bright and dazzling.
Many of the tribesmen were affected by the backlash of the shock and vomited blood. Several elders who presided over the small world were injured more seriously. They flew out from their sitting position and hit the pillars, causing their internal organs to be displaced.
In the main hall, Gongsun Ziwei had a heavy plain face and held a treasure furnace in her hand. The furnace was golden and shaped like a prone fairy phoenix. It was crystal clear and engraved with dense sacred texts. It was emitting rich flames and could revive at any time.
She had been watching the movements outside the small world. If the small world was torn apart, she would sacrifice this thing immediately. This was the sacred weapon left by the sage ancestor of the Gongsun family.
However, with her current level of cultivation, she is unable to truly revive a holy weapon.
The situation is very unfavorable to the Gongsun family. The Helian family is determined to attack and devour them. The accumulated foundation over the years is also being rapidly consumed.
On the other side, in the Tan Tai family, Tan Tai Qing's face was as pale as gold paper, sitting cross-legged on the bed. After taking a few healing medicines and resting for another two days, his complexion improved slightly.
She was filled with fear. If she had not remembered Jiang Lan's reminder and used her trump card to escape immediately, she might have really died at the hands of Helian Wen.
Who knew that at that moment, his strength would surge to an incredible level, and even Gongsun Shuoqiu, who was a powerful man, could not break free and was strangled by him, his neck broken, and he died on the spot.
"Grandfather, what's the situation outside now?"
Tan Tai Qing felt that his injuries had recovered a lot, so he left the room, went outside, and found his grandfather Tan Tai Xu.
Many clan elders were present in the family hall. The three old ancestors were fighting with Helian Wen outside the small world. The other elders were also leading their clansmen to fight with other monsters. In this chaos, it was the Tan Tai family that bore the brunt of the attack.
This made Tan Tai Qing guess that this was most likely caused by Helian Wen's subconscious hatred towards the Tan Tai family.
However, because the Tantai family knew that Saint Li Ran would take action in the end, they did not waste their resources. So far, the three ancestors have only delayed Helian Wen and waited for his arrival.
"The Gongsun family probably won't be able to hold on any longer..."
"After the Helian family planned to break through the small world of the Gongsun family, they used their thousands of years of accumulated heritage to urge the small world to open up a space-time channel and migrate away. In this way, they could preserve the family's heritage and strength and find another place to slowly recuperate."
"The Gongsun family's letter for help is still here."
Tan Tai Xu stroked his long beard gently, smiling, appearing very calm and unhurried.
Tan Taiqing nodded and asked, "Where's Jiang Lan?"
Tan Taixu shook his head and said, "It should be fine, but there is no news at the moment."
Tan Tai Qing was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked outside the hall, his face uncertain, no one knew what he was thinking.
"I have arrived. Everyone in the Tantai family, follow me to slay the demon."
At this time, a vague and ethereal voice was heard from inside the Tantai family's territory.
The sound came suddenly, without any warning.
The elders of the Tantai family were stunned at first, but then they all showed joy.
Many people even knelt down and kowtowed to the source of the voice, saying, "We have come to see Li Sheng."
Tan Tai Qing also hurriedly saluted, not daring to be negligent in any way.
A contemporary saint, no matter in which era, is always rare, standing at the top and overlooking the world.
As this voice fell, the originally silent Tan Tai family suddenly erupted with a huge cheer, and the small world opened with a bang. Many clansmen who had been prepared long ago offered their magic weapons and talismans and rushed out one after another.
"The Helian family colluded with the demons and violated the ancestral teachings. This crime should be punished by death."
“Kill…”
The three ancestors of the Tantai family who were fighting with Helian Wen heard the movement from the family side and realized that the time had come. They shouted angrily and no longer held back.
In the palm of one of them, a seven-story exquisite pagoda emerged. It was simple and natural, carved with intricate patterns, and then glowed, as if a saint was about to revive.
That kind of power was so overwhelming that it made people tremble in their hearts and they couldn't help but kneel down.
The Tantai family changed their retreating attitude, opened their doors wide, and launched a powerful counterattack against the monsters. This scene instantly raised the morale of people all over Feixian Island.
The two ancestors of the Helian family, who were currently attacking the Gongsun family's small world, frowned, feeling something was amiss, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
The two of them immediately worked together to sacrifice the ancestral holy weapon of the Helian family, and a crystal sword made of flawless fairy jade emerged. The sword body was ancient, and exuded a hazy glow, followed by a holy power, as if a peerless saint had really revived and came back to life to rule the world.
"My ancestor's sword can cut through anything, even this tortoise shell..."
"Break it for me."
Helian Rujian sacrificed his essence and blood to the sword, and now he was holding the sword, as if he had really turned into the saint ancestor of the Helian family, holding the sword in one hand and pointing to the sky with the other.
He slashed with his sword, time appeared, years passed, and even the scene of the creation of the world emerged. Chaos energy roared and submerged everything. This sword light spanned thousands of miles, as if it fell from the distant universe.
With a loud bang!!! The small world barrier of the Gongsun family shattered with a crack, and the cracks continued to expand and spread.
All the tribesmen had pale faces, like gold paper.
"It's over..."
"We are of the same root, why are we so anxious to fight each other?"
At this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, and bits of crystal light rain fell. An old man in Taoist robes with an ancient temperament and a vigorous face appeared in the void.
As he waved his robe, the boundless sword energy seemed to sink into the deep sea and disappeared in an instant.
"saint?"
Looking at this person who suddenly appeared, the pupils of Helian Rujian and Helian Yuansheng constricted and their expressions changed drastically. It was simply unbelievable, and then their hearts gradually sank.
Deep in the Demonic Abyss, in the trench, the fierce fighting has come to an end. After all, the Demon God Wushang, who had lived for a long time, had a more profound cultivation, and Huangfu Hao was defeated.
The fact that he had no physical body was anticipated by the Demon God Wushang, so when fighting with him, he focused on attrition, using wild and powerful moves.
Without a physical body as a foundation, Huangfu Hao is like a rootless duckweed. As time goes by, his magic power will be exhausted and he will become just a fish on the chopping board.
So he knew this very well, and after trying every possible means and failing to defeat the Demon God Wushang, he could only retreat unwillingly.
