After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1043 Dharma Body? Do you want the upper body or the lower body?
Xiao Ling's venomous gaze shot across the Bailong River, as if she wanted to tear Chen Yang to pieces.

For so many years, I have never hated or loathed anyone so much.

In particular, this person was a kid who hadn't even grown up yet.

She and Cang Gou spent three hundred years in this secret realm. At first, they had some opponents, but later, as their cultivation levels improved, they had no rivals except for the four guardian beasts and Jue Chen.

Even the likes of Danyangzi and Tian Bonong were a whole level below them.

Even towards Juechen, Xiao Ling felt no hatred.

Although Juechen often caused them trouble, and each time it almost ended in a draw, three hundred years had made them accustomed to Juechen's presence, and they even had some respect for Juechen's persistence.

Compared to them, what is Chen Yang? Just a greenhorn who has just started out, yet he has caused them such huge losses. It's like an elephant being bitten and seriously injured by an ant. How could the elephant not be angry?

Of course I was angry, and I wished I could crush that annoying ant to death with my foot.

"Young man, don't be so arrogant."

Cang Gou's icy voice cut like a steel blade, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Yang, "Ling Mei's Dharma body is in your hands. Hand it over, and for the sake of this old monk, there might still be a chance for today's matter to end peacefully..."

"Ah……"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Daoist Master, judging from your tone, you seem quite confident that you can do something to us. If that's the case, then why run away?"

Running away proves that you're guilty and afraid you can't win, right?
If Chen Yang hadn't used the map of the Bailong River's watercourses to track them down in time, these guys would probably have disappeared somewhere.

Upon hearing this, Cang Gou's face filled with murderous intent. "Ignorant junior, I simply do not wish to stoop to your level!"

He didn't bother to explain anything, and turned to Juechen, saying, "Monk, are you sure you want to fight me to the death here?"

Juechen paused upon hearing this.

At that moment, he hesitated.

The enemy outnumbered him, and he could certainly fight freely and recklessly on his own, but Chen Yang was by his side, which was a factor he had to consider.

Once a fight breaks out, whether Cang Gou holds him back while the wandering soldiers besiege Chen Yang, or whether Cang Gou personally attacks Chen Yang, he will be unable to control the situation.

But they finally managed to corner Cang Gou, and if they let him leave now, things could get complicated later.

At this moment, Chen Yang's voice rang in Juechen's ears, "Ancestor, you just need to keep Cang Gou occupied for a while, leave the rest to me. Even if we can't capture Cang Gou, we must deal with this group of wandering masters today..."

Juechen paused slightly, then nodded slightly.

Cang Gou is incredibly strong, that much is certain. If Jue Chen is simply tasked with restraining him, it shouldn't be too difficult.

It's not realistic for the two of them to keep Cang Gou here. The current situation is that Cang Gou's strength is what it is, and if he is determined to run away, even Jue Chen can't do anything about it.

Therefore, Chen Yang did not expect to defeat him in this battle, but he had to eliminate his subordinates in this battle.

If this group of wandering warriors is not eliminated, they will surely become a great threat in the future.

As for Cang Gou, even if he escapes, he will definitely show himself once the exit of Jiu Lao Cave opens in two days, as long as he still wants to get out.

All we need to do is block him at Zhong'e Mountain. Without the help of the wandering masters, he will have to fight to the death if he wants to get out. Even if we can't defeat him, Yuanlong and the others can notify Emei to prepare in advance and work together to kill Canggou.

"How confident are you?" Juechen asked in a low voice.

Chen Yang glanced at the vast, dark mass of wandering monks on the opposite bank. "A few Dao True Realm cultivators will be a bit tough, but the rest are easy prey. I'm pretty confident..."

"If things are beyond our control, there's no need to force it. Prioritize saving your own life; there's plenty of time in the future," Juechen said.

……

At this moment, on the opposite bank of the Bailong River.

The cang dog was also struggling internally.

It's not that we can't win, it's that we don't want to fight.

He had just possessed the Black Lotus, and his second primordial spirit had not yet completely eradicated the Black Lotus's obsession. It was a crucial moment, and being disturbed like this naturally made him angry.

If a fight really broke out, he was not afraid of Juechen, nor was he afraid of Chen Yang. Moreover, he could guarantee that even if he couldn't defeat Juechen, he could definitely inflict serious damage on the two of them. At least killing Chen Yang would not be a difficult task.

However, there is one crucial issue among them.

Fighting to the death against an evenly matched opponent like Juechen would inevitably be extremely taxing, both physically and mentally.

What if Black Lotus's obsession retaliates at this moment? How will he deal with it? He might even be the one to have his second primordial spirit possessed by Black Lotus.

This is his biggest concern.

"Brother Dog, possessing the Black Lotus is important. Let these wandering cultivators stay behind to cover our retreat. We'll go first..."

Xiao Ling calmed down a bit at this point. "As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn. Once you've fused with the Black Lotus, it won't be too late to get revenge for today..."

Cang Gou pondered for a moment.

He definitely had to leave, but he couldn't just slink away like that. Otherwise, if Juechen saw his hesitation, he would definitely relentlessly pursue him and force him to fight to the death.

In addition, Xiao Ling's Dharma body must also be retrieved.

Although the Dharma Body was destroyed, the original energy within it should still be there, which can help the second primordial spirit regain some of its cultivation. In addition, the original Dharma Body is of great significance to both Xiao Ling and Cang Gou.

After all, it was the corpse of a Daoist companion; how could they possibly watch it fall into the hands of others?
Cang Gou took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yang. "Junior, there's no point in saying more now. Hand over Ling Mei's Dharma Body, and I might spare your life..."

"In my eyes, your despicable methods are nothing but trifles. Don't think that this monk can protect you. I can kill you in less than three moves!"

……

Cang Gou's tone was calm, but full of confidence.

It's not that he hasn't dealt with Chen Yang before, nor that he hasn't seen Chen Yang make a move. He's just a junior with some tricks and cleverness. As long as he doesn't get blown up by Chen Yang, he can take his head with a flying sword.

When he said he had three moves, he really wasn't bragging.

The sound reached Chen Yang's ears across the Bailong River.

"The wind is too strong, Taoist priest. What do you want?"

Chen Yang found it rather amusing. "We've cornered you now, and you're still trying to make demands of me?"

Cang Gou said coldly, "Don't tell me you destroyed Ling Mei's Dharma body?"

“The Dharmakaya is here with me.”

Chen Yang suddenly realized, and looked seriously at Cang Gou across the river, "Does the Daoist want to meet and share half? I just don't know, does the Daoist want the upper body or the lower body?"

A single sentence uttered would be shocking and unconventional.

Juechen almost choked on the wind. This little guy knows how to stir up trouble; he dares to say anything.

"You... shameless little thief..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling, who had been quite rational, felt like her lungs were about to explode.

The thought that her Dharma body was in the hands of such a brat, and who knows what he might have done with it, made her furious and she couldn't help but curse loudly.

Cang Gou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he glared at Chen Yang. "Junior, you're courting death!"

……

Chen Yang's lips curled into a slight smile as he said to Juechen, "Ancestor, I've already humiliated them so much, yet they still haven't made a move. It seems Cang Gou is clearly having some reservations..."

Juechen nodded slightly.

He knew Cang Gou very well. Whenever he could gain an advantage, Cang Gou would definitely take action. Moreover, Chen Yang had insulted him so much, yet he could still remain calm and keep talking nonsense. This was unlike the Cang Gou he knew.

This guy must be hesitant and doesn't dare to make a move.
Juechen smiled inwardly. No matter what Canggou was worried about, since he had concerns, it would be unreasonable for him not to take action.

"Cang Gou, come and fight."

Juechen roared and leaped forward, heading straight for the opposite bank.

Halfway there, it had already unleashed its golden body.

……

The patriarch really was... a man of action.

After spending the last two days with him, Chen Yang had a general understanding of Juechen. He appeared calm on the surface, but was actually quite fiery inside.

"Humph!"

When Cang Gou saw Jue Chen suddenly rise up, his expression changed slightly, but he showed no fear whatsoever.

He knew that Juechen was heading for him, trying to force him to make a move, but he was not about to fall for it.

He immediately slammed the large black banner in his hand onto the ground and shook it violently.

Three Dao Realm cultivators charged out and rushed towards Juechen.

"roll!"

While still in the air, Juechen let out a roar, swept his staff horizontally, and the terrifying energy stirred up thousands of waves in the river, suddenly rushing towards the three wandering masters.

"Crash..."

The water curtain concealed their figures.

Juechen seized the opportunity to evade the surrounding attack of the wandering masters, leaped out from the water curtain, and headed straight for Canggou.

The sole purpose is to force Cang Gou to take action.

He only needed to keep Cang Gou occupied and try to restrain the top combat power, and leave the rest to Chen Yang.

"Hmph!" Seeing Juechen rushing towards him like a madman, Canggou's face turned ashen, and he raised his hand to slash with his sword.

Juechen raised his staff to block, and a loud bang erupted in the air. The shockwave caused the water in the river to surge and the waves to churn.

Using the momentum, Cang Gou flew backward and leaped onto a high cliff not far behind him. With a wave of his banner, a large amount of black matter mixed with terrifying Yin energy was rapidly released, manifesting as a thick black mist that swept downwards.

The black mist swept across like a black dragon, plunging the riverbank into darkness instantly.

Many wandering masters seemed to be awakened instantly, and they all rushed towards Juechen to attack him.

Juechen, however, did not engage with them. His body shone with golden light, and he managed to tear a gap in the black mist, continuing his relentless pursuit of Canggou.

The greyhound turned and disappeared over the ridge.

The three wandering monks chased after Juechen and soon disappeared on the cliff.

On the riverbank, only a large area shrouded in black mist remained. A Dao Realm mid-stage wandering master stood guard beside Xiao Ling, while hundreds of wandering master soldiers stood ready in battle.

This stance suggests they're just waiting for Chen Yang to make a move and launch a counterattack.

A wandering master at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm is definitely not to be underestimated.

Chen Yang did not rush to make a move.

After weighing the situation in his mind, he realized that if the water monkey were to take action, it would be easy to handle the situation. However, he dared not say that he could fight against a mid-stage Dao Realm cultivator on his own.

But he only had one Dao Zhen Pill left.

That was his trump card, and he didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

A dark mist shrouded the opposite bank, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see what was happening inside; all that could be seen was an eerie silence.

The silence was eerily quiet.

There's definitely something waiting for me.

Chen Yang wasn't that stupid; he wouldn't knowingly go against someone who was up to no good.

Chen Yang immediately opened the insect seed bag.

Tens of thousands of bone-eating beetles swarmed out of their nests, darkening the sky as they flew towards the opposite bank of the river.

"Buzzing..."

The sound of flapping wings was like a demonic chant.

The swarm of insects quickly burrowed into the fog, stirring up the black mist into a turbulent upheaval.

"Roar!"

The wandering warriors were attacked by the insect swarm, and they roared and howled in anger.

These insects have consumed a lot of divine and yin energy, so they naturally have a certain resistance to the yin energy present. In fact, the presence of this energy may even make them more frenzied.

But it's unknown whether the negative energy mixed in with the Yin energy will affect these insects.

Chen Yang couldn't care less about that now, and directly commanded the insect swarm to attack the group of wandering warriors.

The swarm naturally had a significant numerical advantage and was exceptionally ferocious. At first, the wandering warriors were clearly caught off guard.

However, the presence of a mid-stage Dao Realm wandering master quickly stabilized the situation.

Hundreds of wandering warriors each took their positions, with thirty-six of them being Creation Realm wandering warriors who stood in their places, their long swords stuck in the ground, and Yin energy being poured into them frantically.

"Buzz!"

The runes on the blade lit up, and thirty-six streams of energy shot into the sky, spreading out a layer of light that quickly enveloped the scene.

"Array?"

Chen Yang frowned slightly. Another formation?
Judging from the momentum and aura, it seems to be much stronger than the [Eight Gates Demon Sealing Formation] that Xiao Ling used before.

I wonder what kind of thing it is?
Fortunately, Chen Yang didn't go directly there, otherwise he might have been trapped by the formation.

"Roar!"

Once the formation was complete, a chilling wind howled across the opposite bank, and the Yin energy seemed to intensify many times over in an instant, even spreading across the entire river surface.

The dense Yin energy seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative change, and Chen Yang vaguely sensed the aura of divine evil within it.

The wandering masters in the formation seemed to be blessed by some kind of energy, and their auras were rapidly increasing. The auras of hundreds of wandering masters were released at the same time, which forced the insect swarm to retreat repeatedly and hesitate to move forward.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The warriors roared in unison, and countless blade energies shot into the sky from the formation, swiftly annihilating the swarm of insects within.

……

The power is not small.

Sensing the large swarms of insects dying, Chen Yang had to admit that he had underestimated these wandering warriors.

Trying to break the deadlock with a swarm of insects is almost impossible; if things continue like this, they might be completely wiped out.

At present, there is only one way to break the deadlock.

Start frying.

The swarm of insects carried two divine prayer beads with them.

Those were the only two Divine Fiend Prayer Beads in Chen Yang's possession.

These two beads were made from the divine and evil beads given to him by the Bashe.

Of course, he also had two more divine demon inner cores as his true trump cards, one from the White Tiger Divine Demon and the other from the White Fox Divine Demon.

That was a truly deadly weapon, and Chen Yang dared not use it lightly.

Just as the swarm of insects set off, two of the divine and evil prayer beads were taken away by two of the insects and entered the formation together.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos and stir up trouble for that woman, Xiao Ling.

But who would have thought that these wandering warriors would actually use an array?

Things weren't as simple as he thought. Xiao Ling was guarded by a Dao Realm mid-stage wandering master, making it difficult to get close.

Explode!

In this situation, every second of hesitation will result in more losses for the swarm.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The ground trembled, and two mushroom clouds rapidly rose from the array on the opposite bank.

The terrifying shockwave dispersed the black mist, the formation suddenly tore apart, and the wandering masters and a large number of bone-eating beetles were all impacted and blasted out of the formation.

Many fell directly into the river from all directions.

Although the formation is powerful, the methods to break it are often simple.

As long as you're ruthless enough and willing to spend a lot of money, it's nothing.

The formation that You Shiqun had set up ultimately failed to withstand the explosion of the two Divine Fiend Prayer Beads.

It should be noted that the Divine Fiend Pearl given by Bashe, after being refined into prayer beads by Chen Yang, had an explosive power that was in no way weaker than the self-destruction of a powerhouse in the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

In other words, those two attacks were equivalent to two late-stage Dao Realm experts self-destructing their inner cores within the formation. How could the formation possibly withstand that?

Not far from the explosion, Xiao Ling witnessed this scene, her face turning deathly pale.

Sure enough, it is like this again.

Fry, fry, fry! All this kid knows is frying.

I wonder what methods this kid used to get such a deadly weapon.
She can also make prayer beads, but the materials are hard to find.

It requires an empty relic or certain top-grade jade as an energy carrier, into which one's own cultivation is poured. When necessary, it will naturally explode when the spiritual power is activated, releasing a large amount of energy to destroy the target.

The method of making prayer beads is not a secret in the spiritual world, but because the materials are hard to find, they have always been a rare item.

However, the things in Chen Yang's hands were clearly not ordinary prayer beads, nor did they have any relics or similar objects as carriers. Sometimes, he would even throw out an inner core directly.

The fact that even the inner core could explode was something Xiao Ling hadn't anticipated.

For ordinary cultivators, detonating their inner core requires specific conditions and methods; it's not something you can do at will.

The energy of the inner core is stable. If the inner core could be detonated easily, wouldn't someone be able to detonate your inner core at will while you're walking down the street?
This is completely unrealistic and even morally reprehensible.

It's like picking up a pebble from a riverbed, only to have it explode with the force of a hand grenade – it's absurd.

Without a doubt, this kid must know some kind of secret technique, some kind of secret technique that can detonate stable energy.

Seeing the formation broken, Xiao Ling's eyes darted around, somewhat startled. She didn't dare to linger and immediately prepared to retreat with the Dao True Realm mid-stage wandering master.

"stop!"

How could Chen Yang let her go?

With the formation broken, You Shiqun lost the formation's support, and his aura weakened considerably. Although the insect swarm also suffered significant losses, it still retained most of its strength and immediately engaged You Shiqun in a fierce battle.

Chen Yang dashed directly to the opposite bank, heading straight for Xiao Ling.
