Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1342 Calamity
Within the void, light shimmered, and two streams of light moved stealthily through the void. Beneath the flames, the old face remained calm, and Long Kangyao held a jade talisman in his palm, which flickered with intense flames.

"Li Zhouwei... has already gone to Yincheng."

The man beside him seemed deep in thought and rather uneasy. Upon hearing this, he felt a little relieved and said:
"Who sent the message?"

Long Kangyao casually remarked:

“The cave sent Master Yu, but given his cautious nature, he would not leave Yincheng easily. He probably sent someone to investigate, and that scout is likely in grave danger.”

"However... it's not a big deal. We've surrounded him from both sides, keeping him here. We don't need to hurt him much. We'll just stall him for a while, and Master Gu will naturally be able to take Juancheng..."

Jiang Fuwang was filled with worries and said:
"This means... another one has surrendered. Sometimes I can't even see clearly anymore. The land under the bright sun cannot be left unsettled. He doesn't hesitate to take action. Every one we surrender is one less we have. Even if we catch him, I don't think... Qiao Sanyi and his men will obey us."

"What you said is incorrect."

Long Kangyao's gaze turned cold, and he said:
“Don’t think Qiao Sanyi is a good person. He is rational, but he is also lustful. He is cautious, but he is also greedy. If there is really no other choice, he will have to come back. As long as he comes back, we will have won most of the battle.”

He said quietly:
"If there is one, there will be two; what we are lacking right now is that one."

Jiang Fuwang frowned deeply, stood with his hands behind his back, and was about to say more when he noticed that the scenery in the distance was gradually being revealed. The void was becoming more and more turbulent, with a faint, stagnant, and intermittent fluctuation response.

The two exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat reassured.

What does this mean?
The entire array of carriages is intact!

The fluctuations of this grand formation emanated from it. Jiang Fuwang pondered for a moment, then suddenly slightly blocked the Great Master's path, saying:

"Did they really go to Yincheng?"

Long Kangyao nodded and said:
“I know you don’t like Pang Xiaoyou, but he is capable after all. At that time, before Master Yu went to Yincheng, he specially went to give instructions, saying: ‘The carriage is weak, please ask Qi to go quickly and guard it for us.’”

"The Qi family is the least likely to surrender to the King of Wei."

Jiang Fuwang then nodded slightly:
"it is good…"

He looked up and saw a blood-red light surging in the void. It was the supernatural power of Hengzhu. He immediately used his supernatural power to ride the wind forward, but Long Kangyao beside him suddenly changed color!

A crimson light shone between his brows, and a sense of crisis rushed towards him. In an instant, the Great Master did not hesitate to unleash his divine power, and flickering flames descended from his face, spreading throughout his body.

"Cloth Drying Tool!"
As a Great True Person, Long Kangyao possessed profound cultivation. The moment his supernatural powers shone, the entire void was instantly engulfed in a raging sea of ​​fire. His eyes also became hazy and crimson as he focused his gaze on the high place with both shock and horror, and sure enough, he saw a golden streak descending from the sky!
【Qianyang Bracelet】!
"Fell into a trap!"

Even though he reacted extremely quickly, in that instant, he only had time to activate his supernatural power before the golden light fell on his face, causing him to raise his head in an instant. His eyes were filled with chaotic light, his mind was in turmoil, and he was unable to move!

At the same time, various pressures from the void suddenly arrived. The great array of the chariot was activated, like a mountain pressing down, immobilizing the two people in place, and the sky turned pitch black for a moment.

Jiang Fuwang's eyes were instantly illuminated by golden light.

In the darkness, the halberd gleamed with the sharpness of gold.

A chilling coldness had enveloped the entire body of this Jiang family master.

Jiang Fuwang had fought against Li Zhouwei!
Jiang Fuwang's combat abilities are actually quite famous. He cultivates "Geng Metal" and possesses two supernatural powers: "Heavenly Golden Armor" and "Carved Gold Stone". Both are supernatural powers of Geng Metal combat, enough to stand alone. Even when facing some three supernatural powers head-on, he is not at a disadvantage at all.

But precisely because of this, the Purple Mansion has no chance against Li Zhouwei.

There's no other reason than that in the battle of the Purple Mansion, if one wants to use weakness to counter strength and buy time, it's simply a matter of using strengths to counter weaknesses. Facing the domineering divine power of the White Qilin, one either needs to be like Qiao Sanyi, who has a lot of maneuvering skills, or like Yu Xi, who avoids all harm. Jiang Fuwang's fighting style is very similar to Li Zhouwei's, going head-to-head. Maneuvering and buying time are already his weaknesses, and his strengths are not even a fraction of his opponent's...

Back then, this white Qilin was only a third-level supernatural being, yet it had already been suppressed in Xiangcheng. If it weren't for the fact that the 'Heavenly Golden Armor' had some ability to adapt and cope, it would have almost lost its life. Now, with the four bright suns gathered together, it is accompanied by an even more terrifying power.

He only had time to raise his hand before his supernatural powers gathered and swiftly climbed onto his face:
"Heavenly Golden Armor"!
The next instant, the golden-white divine power and the whistling halberd shone brightly in front of him at the same time, emitting a teeth-grinding collision sound, followed by the clanging sound of a sword being drawn:

[The Sword of King Jing of Wei].

The world was vast and desolate, and blood fell like rain.

Li Zhouwei set up an ambush on the spot. Knowing who the person was, he went all out to break this wing first. He would not allow him any room to maneuver. Immediately afterward, what shone brightly in front of this Jiang family superpower was Li Guang.

[Southern Emperor Xuanzhao]!
Li Zhouwei's power is now fully realized, his life force has greatly increased, and even the Lesser Yin, which controls water and fire, would vomit blood after taking this [Southern Emperor's Mysterious Blade] from him, let alone Geng metal?
At this critical moment, Long Kangyao's eyes brightened, burning with fury, and his divine light shone brightly, illuminating the sky.

"Bing Yingxia"!
The void, which was originally isolated by the great formation, began to tremble violently. The various mysteries originating from true qi, water, and fire actually loosened, and boiling, hot qi took its place, filling the entire sky. It not only appeared outward but also submerged all killing intent. Various flames in the sea of ​​fire climbed and rose, enveloping Jiang Fuwang in front of him.

But in that instant, a radiant light appeared, and Qiao Wenliu was already high in the sky, a smile on his face, one hand pressed against his chest, his lips wide open, taking a deep breath:
[The Mysterious Method of Containing Water and Fire]!
This technique was Qiao Wenliu's signature move, and the supreme method he had honed throughout his life. It was known as "Under the Yin-Yang Master, between the Water and Fire Registers, nothing is excluded"!
Directly facing the 'Blazing Fire'!
The great master's divine power "Binghongxia," which had enveloped the sky and reached Jiang Fuwang, suddenly dissipated in an instant, drifting away and transforming into a point of crimson light, just like the "Crimson Arrowhead" of that day, which he then put into his mouth.

Qiao Wenliu coughed twice, but his joy faded.
'It really is him... Master "Burning Fire," this is going to be difficult to deal with...'

Li Zhouwei was not surprised at all—he brought Qiao Wenliu here because he valued the fact that the other party had reached the level of Ye Hui and Chang Yun and could intervene in the great battle of the Great Masters!
In an instant, a golden beam of light swayed down, like an intensely burning and painful chain, tightly binding the Jiang family's supernatural being, emitting billowing light and black smoke, causing his eyes to turn bloodshot in an instant.

"you!"

Long Kangyao had been famous for a long time and had never fought with Qiao Wenliu before. He was shocked and annoyed when he was caught off guard. His eyes darkened in an instant, and he put one hand on his waist and suddenly drew his sword.

The sword was quite long, entirely crimson, with countless bird patterns swirling above it. He held it with both hands in reverse, straddling the sky, sweeping up towering crimson waves, and then slashed down!

The gloomy place was filled with a lingering aura and uneven darkness. The thin old man turned around, rolled up his sleeves, lowered his head, and dared not look at the great master. However, his hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals and changing, and a dark light spread in an instant.

The Room for Questioning.

A mysterious palace appeared out of thin air, complete with side chambers and chambers, facing each other from east to west, swallowing all the surging flames. The old man's face turned red in an instant, and he wanted to cough but could not. He could only use all his supernatural powers to suppress all the flames. The sundial in the courtyard shone with light in the darkness and suppressed all the flames!
"Another mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator!"

Long Kangyao, unaware of his strength, suddenly changed his expression, only to find that golden light was flashing before his eyes. The golden afterimage rushed towards him, and the bright iron fist roared, striking straight at his face!
"Boom!"

His head was raised high once again, and even with the protection of supernatural powers, it still appeared distorted and deformed. Various flames were hit and splashed out from behind his head, forming a turbulent stream of firelight in the void.

Li Zhouwei has already withdrawn!

What about Jiang Fuwang?

Before this Jiang family supernatural being could struggle out of the Li Fire, he raised his head and saw the towering golden figure in the void, majestic in shape, with a thick, dark gold color, like gold dust mixed with silver sand!
【Huayang King's Axe】!
One glance sent chills down his spine, but fortunately the murderous intent was not strong—Wang Yue was hanging upside down, already the size of a small mountain, with his back to him, a full hundred feet wide!
His injuries were not yet healed, and the flames spread all over his body, leaving him unable to escape for the time being. He could only watch helplessly as the golden flames crashed down upon him.

"Boom!"

This blow sent him flying out of the void, like a celestial being falling from the sky. He crashed to the ground with a thud. The Huayang King's Yue, as large as a mountain, landed upside down, suppressing him on the ground as if he were an ant. In an instant, the earth shook, the sky and earth changed color, and everyone's attention was drawn to it!

Jiang Fuwang felt as if he were weighed down by a thousand pounds. With various injuries intertwined, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, his physical body was extremely strong, and he immediately used both hands to support Wang Yue, trying to lift him up.

But the axe tail was raised high, and a small jade talisman was hanging there at some point. Now it appeared together, like a huge plaque with continuous golden characters on it, each one flashing.

【Mountain Mang Talisman】.

This item was obtained from the Wei family's Shanmang Hall years ago. Li Zhouwei wanted to give it to Li Ximing, but it was refused and returned. It has been hanging on the end of the handle of the Huayang King's Axe ever since, and it suddenly became bright at this moment.

【Shunchen Xuanguang】!
This magical artifact is extremely special. With just a flick of a divine power, it is as if someone is personally holding the artifact and suppressing it. Jiang Fuwang was already struggling to breathe and burning with fire. When this mysterious light pressed down on him, he was unable to get up!

Hengzhu's light arrived at lightning speed!
In the blink of an eye, the battle in the sky had become extremely fierce.

In that instant, Li Zhouwei had already unleashed a hundred punches, suppressing the Great Master completely. The dazzling light of the sky was like a waterfall, suppressing all the flames in the sky.

Long Kangyao cultivates the "Burning Fire" technique and is a Great True Person; his physical form is infinitely variable!
His figure appeared and disappeared repeatedly, twisting and changing in the sunlight, yet he never sustained any major injuries. However, he was not a sword cultivator; he wielded a magical sword. Li Zhouwei was experienced, and in that instant, he was caught off guard, unable to draw his sword or use his magic to maneuver, leaving him no way to turn the tables. The two people beside him were already watching him intently, their supernatural powers constantly responding and supporting their encirclement.

Long Kangyao had been practicing Taoism for many years, yet he remained completely unfazed. He even glanced at Wu Miao beside him, finally seeing through his true nature. A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Finally, he withstood the golden punch head-on. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but a smile appeared in his eyes as he pinched his fingers and moved his lips.

Burnt Room!
That is, "the world is burning"!
Once the Dragon King's Famous Divine Power was used, an invisible light rippled outwards, and the "Secluded Chamber of Doubt" in the sky collapsed like a broken pavilion. The trapped Fire Magic surged out, and even Qiao Wenliu's "Taichong Temple" fluctuated incessantly, making it difficult for him to extricate himself for a time.

His face was shattered by the next punch from the white qilin, like broken tung oil, turning into thousands of heads of all sizes that shot out, each one resembling a dragon soaring across the sky!

These heads, some the size of a grain of rice, others the size of a fingernail, all opened their mouths and spewed fire. The vast sea of ​​fire actually severed spiritual consciousness and reclaimed the entire sky.

"Cough cough..."

Immediately following was Qiao Wenliu's muffled groan. The divine power "Binghongxia" that he had been holding in his mouth could no longer be contained and roared out, connecting all the flames into one, illuminating a crimson area.

The crimson light illuminated Li Zhouwei's face, and in his golden eyes, he saw three 'Long Kangyao' figures standing amidst the flames, each wielding a sword, an axe, and a gourd respectively.

The one in the center, without the slightest hesitation, pointed his magic sword directly at Li Zhouwei, his cold gaze fixed on him. The light on the sword was concentrated to its extreme, like a vast river cascading down.

Even after Jiang Fuwang was suppressed, the Grand Master's tone remained completely calm and chilling, without a trace of panic.

"I have been practicing the Purple Transformation for fifty-six years and have never been defeated. Even the old master of the Han family has to show me respect. How dare these three junior cultivators surround me, the Four Divine Powers of the Flaming Fire Sect? Ignorant and fearless!"

The King of Wei's gaze remained calm.

"The World Burns"...

He could see clearly that the dragon Kangyao in front of him was its true form, but the bodies transformed by the two spiritual flames were not weak either. Wu Miao would probably not be able to defeat it easily, and it might even be able to block Qiao Wenliu for a short time!
A hint of surprise finally flashed in his eyes.

"After all, they're from Chuncheng... 'Burning Old Room'..."

The King of Wei could sense the destructive aura emanating from the other party—a boiling, turbulent killing intent and restlessness that threatened to shatter all order.

At this moment, whether it was the "Imperial View of the Origin" or the "Secluded Chamber of Doubts," or even all the supernatural powers that had been severed, sealed off, or used to suppress and erode the power, they all paled in comparison to this flame.

Li Zhouwei's "Emperor's Observation" seemed to have been provoked, and in that instant it spontaneously responded, its inner power becoming "Three Yangs Observation", with raging flames burning on his body, and equally boiling with killing intent.

Tit for tat.

"No wonder he was so confident...it turns out he wasn't afraid of my supernatural powers..."

Li Zhouwei, unusually, wasn't dressed in black robes, but only in a white one. This made him appear less domineering and ruthless, and more ethereal and elegant. Standing in the fire, the four points of light on his brow, the "Chongyang" star, gradually brightened.
A smile appeared in his golden eyes.

"Your supernatural powers are far more effective against me than Lu Fu's 'Now Going Back' back then... It's true that one thing can subdue another... Perfect."

But as the last word appeared, his figure had already vanished, like a charging beast that smashed the surging flames and magical light to pieces.

"Boom!"

Six arms sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, accompanied by surging black light and fiery flames. Black and gold colors climbed up his neck and the corners of his eyes, gradually enveloping his face.

"Since crossing the river to the purple palace, I have not encountered a worthy opponent..."

He stood like a demon in the fire, yet his voice was hoarse and elegant:
"Fellow Daoist is the first."
