Wu Baizhan was struck as if by a heavy blow, letting out a muffled groan, and was thrown off the jade carriage by the monk's staff like a kite with a broken string.
At this moment, Fahai's figure also emerged from the void. He didn't give Wu Baizhan any chance to react. He retracted his Heaven-Supporting Zen Staff, formed a Buddhist mudra, and let out a furious snort like a booming bell:
"Hmph! You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert!"
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita!"
In an instant, Fahai borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha, and the sound of the Buddha's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The dragon on his shoulder shone with the light of the Lotus Sutra, and a golden Heavenly Dragon suddenly shot out, heading straight for Wu Baizhan, who was still retreating.
But at that moment, Zhou Xingdou heard a fawning voice in his ear:
"Young Master is truly a descendant of the Great Emperors of the Heavens, a celestial being born, and he actually defeated a Saint with the power of a True God."
Your subordinate is truly filled with admiration and respect for you...
Zhou Xingdou didn't even need to guess who was beside him, given how clumsy his flattery was.
Then, Zhou Xingdou glanced indifferently at Yuan Tian, who had appeared beside him at some point, and asked calmly:
"Why not join forces with Fahai?"
He did not originally bring Fahai and Yuan Tian with him; the two were still cultivating in their palace when he left.
But as his own battle slave, how could Fahai not sense Zhou Xingdou's battle situation?
Almost a second after Zhou Xingdou made his move, the two arrived in the void.
However, Zhou Xingdou did not let them show themselves, but waited for the opportunity in the void interlayer.
He didn't choose to let You Ji take action because it wasn't appropriate for him and You Ji to be too openly involved.
But Fahai and Yuan Tian are ostensibly his own people. How could he not let the two of them come out when the other party, a Saint Realm expert, made a move?
Rather, the commotion in Lingguang City meant that Fahai and Yuan Tian were not the only ones hiding nearby.
Yuan Tian bowed slightly and smiled obsequiously at Zhou Xingdou:
"Fellow Daoist Fahai can handle these lackeys. Compared to that saint, I think the safety of our young master is the most important."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou ignored Yuan Tian and instead looked at Huo Lingtian, whose face was now quite ugly.
Huo Lingtian was still struggling to accept it. He had just been defeated by Zhou Xingdou in one blow, and if Wu Baizhan hadn't intervened in time, he might have lost his life.
Huo Lingtian had no interest in Wu Baizhan's life or death, and looked at Zhou Xingdou blankly, asking:
"What level are you at exactly?!"
He could actually sense the aura of a true god on Zhou Xingdou, but this was impossible in his eyes, and he naturally assumed that Zhou Xingdou was hiding his realm.
Zhou Xingdou looked at Huo Lingtian, a mocking smile appearing in his eyes:
"waste!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xingdou suddenly took a step forward, clenched his right fist, and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. With a snap of his five fingers, the power of a thousand dragons suddenly condensed.
He arrived before Huo Lingtian with lightning speed, unleashing a terrifying fist imprint that crashed towards Huo Lingtian like an ancient divine mountain.
Faced with this punch filled with terrifying power, Huo Lingtian's hair stood on end. At this moment, he dared not hold back any longer and raised his hand in a sudden motion.
In an instant, an extremely hot aura burst forth from the sleeves of his crimson dragon robe.
In that instant, endless divine fire enveloped his entire body, and a bronze lamp appeared from his sleeve, constantly reviving!
An overwhelming force, capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, erupted from the bronze lamp, pressing down in all directions.
It instilled fear in countless people, causing their bodies to tremble. Even Li Xiuru, who had never faced the bronze lamp before, felt weak all over and was shaken off the sky by its terrifying power.
At the same time, the flames dancing on the lamp suddenly burst forth with holy flames that could incinerate everything, rushing towards the oncoming Zhou Xingdou!
But Zhou Xingdou did not back down an inch; instead, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Suddenly, the lightning pattern between his brows was activated, and a sea of lightning surged out, covering Zhou Xingdou's fist. His fist was unstoppable and clashed with the surging holy flames!
Bang!
A deafening roar erupted, and boundless power reverberated at the point where the two forces clashed, with towering holy flames spreading outwards and lightning bolts surging like the sea.
Huo Lingtian and Zhou Xingdou were both forced back hundreds of feet at the same time, their attack ending in a draw.
"Stephen Chow! Do you insist on being my enemy?"
Huo Lingtian stopped his retreating figure, holding a bronze lamp, like a god in fire, and shouted angrily.
The disdain in Zhou Xingdou's eyes deepened, and he sneered:
"You dare to challenge me with your resurrected holy weapon? You dare to call yourself 'I' before me?!"
Huo Lingtian's face darkened after being mocked by Zhou Xingdou, but he said in a deep voice:
"I can compensate you for your losses and apologize to you. We have no blood feud, so why fight a battle that results in mutual destruction?"
He no longer calls himself "I" anymore. At this moment, Huo Lingtian understood that he had already lost this round because he had used a sacred weapon.
Wu Baizhan was also knocked away by the suddenly appearing monk, and now his sacred weapon can only be activated three more times at most. After that, he will be exhausted.
Zhou Xingdou stopped and realized that his fist had been burned by the holy flame. His once clear skin was now charred and cracked with several scabs, from which blood dripped slowly.
Huo Lingtian's bronze lamp was indeed extraordinary; it was probably custom-made for him by the Great Yan Dynasty, which allowed Huo Lingtian, a God-King, to revive 50% of the power of a sacred weapon.
The holy flames were even more terrifying, almost reaching the level of forging divine weapons, something that ordinary saintly weapons could not achieve.
Although Zhou Xingdou's physical body was strong, it could not withstand the bombardment of the holy weapon. Even the Heavenly Thunder Emperor did not wrap his fists around his body, but could only protect his torso from the holy flames.
But this didn't mean he agreed with Huo Lingtian's words. Zhou Xingdou's eyes turned cold, and he flicked the blood off his fist and snorted coldly:
"Hmph! A lose-lose situation? You dare to claim that!"
Huo Lingtian was afraid of Zhou Xingdou when he saw that Zhou Xingdou disagreed. He was still considered good-looking, but if he were trampled underfoot, he would lose face terribly.
Thinking of this, Huo Lingtian gritted his teeth and said:
"I am willing to compensate with ten Heavenly Spirit Flame Jade pieces, plus one hundred precious medicinal herbs!"
When Zhou Xingdou heard the words "Heavenly Spirit Flame Jade," his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Heavenly Flame Jade is a rare object crafted by the Great Yan royal family using secret methods. Although it is named Flame Jade, it has nothing to do with flames. It is named Flame Jade simply because it was produced by the Great Yan royal family.
Its effect is that it allows cultivators at the fourth level of the Profound Realm to directly unlock their divine treasures and step into the True Person Realm without any side effects.
Even more incredible is that the Heavenly Flame Jade can be reused and can also cleanse the user's meridians and improve their aptitude.
Ten Heavenly Flame Jade are enough to awaken someone's potential and enable them to become a God King within ten days!
Of course, this God-King realm is somewhat superficial and its foundation is very unstable.
Even a half-baked God-King is still a God-King. He might struggle against opponents of the same realm or even true gods, but he can still crush kings and marquises.
Liu Yanran is currently at the Condensation Realm. If she is given ten Heavenly Spirit Flame Jade, then when the three-year agreement is reached, Lin Fan will face the God King at the Profound Realm.
There is absolutely no chance of winning.
