Old Locust City.
Ziyue gripped the peach wood sword tightly.
She swung her sword at Zhu You.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Zhu You smiled disdainfully, raised the black bone sword in his hand, and struck casually.
boom!
Purple Moon flew backwards.
A gentle breeze helped her land smoothly.
Zhu You appeared in front of Zi Yue in the blink of an eye, a strange smile on his face. The bone sword in his hand released a suffocating eerie light, even cleaving through space itself.
Zi Yue raised her peach wood sword to parry, but the powerful force sent her flying. Fortunately, a gentle breeze caught her, and she finally stood steadily near the city gate.
Zhu You frowned slightly. He looked at the peach wood sword in Zi Yue's hand and murmured, "The sword in my hand is a divine sword forged from divine bones. It is indestructible. You actually managed to block the attack of the divine sword with just a wooden sword."
Ziyue did not answer. She bit her left index finger and used the blood to stain the peach wood sword.
Thunder patterns appeared on the peach wood sword.
Zhu You looked at Zi Yue with great interest. "Blood Lightning Technique is a forbidden technique of the Daoist sect. Who taught you it?"
Zi Yue remained silent. She stepped on the breeze, swung her sword forward, and the peach wood sword burst forth with blood-red lightning.
Seeing the menacing sword strike, Zhu You dodged it with a swift movement.
With a deafening roar, the street in front of Zi Yue was split in two. Taking advantage of the moment when Zhu You was dodging, she ran towards the Old Locust City in the city.
"hehe."
Zhu You couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ziyue arrived near the old locust tree and saw Master Wuxiang, who had turned into a stone dragon, and an elegant old man sitting cross-legged under the tree.
The old locust tree's trunk was covered in cracks, with only a few withered yellow leaves still hanging on the branches. Ziyue also sensed a terrifying energy fluctuation deep underground.
Zhu You walked slowly over, a mocking look on her face, and said, "This will be your burial ground."
A gust of wind swept in, stirring up clouds of dust. Zi Yue moved with incredible speed, disappearing into the dust.
Zhu You curled his lip in disdain, then swung his bone sword to block Zi Yue, who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zi Yue slapped her left hand forward, red lines lit up on her palm, and then a burst of fire shot towards Zhu You.
Zhu You's bone sword released a ghostly light, repelling Zi Yue with a single strike while also cleaving the flames in two.
Swish, swish, swish!
Zi Yue moved nimbly, circling around Zhu You and constantly wielding her sword, unleashing dozens of blood-red sword lights.
Zhu You stood still.
He easily blocked Zi Yue's attack.
Faced with the barrage of attacks, Zhu You smirked and said, "Don't think I don't know your little tricks. Your swordsmanship is far inferior to your talisman skills."
While Ziyue was fighting, she secretly used talismans to set up an array, but Zhu You had already noticed her actions.
A faint light appeared beneath Zhu You's feet, spreading outwards. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, and the talismans that had just been hidden underground crumbled one after another.
Outside Old Locust City, space distorted, and Hua Ying appeared outside the city pushing a wooden wheelchair. She could clearly sense the situation inside the city. "Qin Luo, Zi Yue needs your help."
Qin Luo remained quietly seated in her wheelchair.
......
Longhu Temple.
Zhang Fulong left his room late at night and went to the main hall of the Taoist temple under the cover of darkness. Just as he was about to reach for the offerings on the table, the candlelight in the hall began to flicker violently.
A golden figure appeared in the hall. When Zhang Fulong saw the tall figure in the hall, he was so frightened that his eyes rolled back. Then his eyes became deep.
Wu Xuantian said respectfully, "Master, the little fairy is in danger. Please help her."
Zhang Fulong shook his head and sighed, "Alas, that was Ziyue's destined tribulation, and I couldn't help her."
Wu Xuantian frowned. He knew that Old Locust City was extremely dangerous, and he asked with concern, "Master, can the little fairy survive this calamity?"
Looking at the moonlight in the courtyard outside the palace, Zhang Fulong paused briefly before nodding and saying, "The moon is still bright. I believe she can overcome this calamity."
......
In Old Locust City, Zi Yue's plan to set up a killing formation was seen through by Zhu You. Zhu You released a powerful pressure, which suppressed all the smoke and dust on the ground.
Zhu You teleported in front of Zi Yue, and the overwhelming pressure made it impossible for Zi Yue to move an inch.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Of course I'm afraid of dying."
"But I don't want to live a life of ignominy."
There was no fear in Zi Yue's eyes.
Zhu You tried to grab Zi Yue by the neck, but just then, a wisp of wind condensed into a longsword from Zi Yue's sleeve and stabbed at Zhu You.
Zhu You reached out and clenched his fist, a disdainful smile on his face. The longsword formed from the breeze was crushed.
"Little Whirlwind!"
Zi Yue's eyes were filled with anger.
She activated the Five Elements Gathering Technique, her body enveloped in purple light, and raised the peach wood sword once more.
Zi Yue's attacks became even more ferocious, but Zhu You still easily blocked them, then kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying.
Ziyue crashed heavily to the ground, but she still gripped the peach wood sword tightly. A beam of light slashed towards Ziyue, and at the critical moment, a golden barrier appeared in front of her.
Boom!
The golden barrier successfully blocked the attack.
Ziyue struggled to her feet. She looked around, wondering who had come to her aid.
Zhu You looked at the refined old man sitting cross-legged under the old locust tree and sneered, "Old man, are you not quite dead yet?"
"I will not rest in peace until the evil is eradicated."
A surge of righteous energy emanated from the refined old man's chest, eventually transforming into human form. Zi Yue had heard the middle-aged Taoist mention that the White Dragon Saint Monk and the Great Confucian Scholar from the East had gone and never returned. Presumably, that Great Confucian Scholar was the old man before her.
Gu Yanchen looked at Ziyue and advised with a smile, "Young lady, you are still young. You should leave this place of trouble."
