Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 994 Chase
"Reckless man!"

The young Taoist priest's face contorted, he made a hand seal, his body surging with magical power, and suddenly opened his mouth and spat out.

Swish!
A white sword aura burst from his mouth. As soon as the sword aura appeared, it began to rapidly divide. In just an instant, it split into thousands of sword threads, which pierced towards Gao Yang from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, his hand gestures changed, and he quickly made a series of hand seals, which disappeared into a small seal no bigger than a palm in front of him.

The incantation entered the small seal, which grew to the size of a palm in the wind. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a giant seal that blotted out the sky, with crisscrossing ravines that seemed to be composed of mountains and rivers.

The young Taoist priest's forehead veins bulged, and he pointed his sword finger at Gao Yang, shouting angrily, "Eat my Heaven-Turning Seal!"

Just as Gao Yang had extinguished the thousands of sword threads, he saw the sky above his head suddenly darken, and a seal that occupied his entire field of vision seemed to be slowly pressing down on him, carrying the entire sky with it.

The square seal suppressed this space, and Gao Yang swayed his body, sensing that the surrounding space had been compressed into an iron plate.

The young Taoist appeared above the Heaven-Turning Seal, riding a five-colored peacock. He stared at the Heaven-Turning Seal as it gradually pressed down, and muttered to himself with great pain, "This time I've really suffered a huge loss. I hope you, this reckless sword cultivator, can bring me enough gains."

Your sword looks quite impressive; I wonder how many immortal crystals it's worth.

The young Taoist priest spoke with great confidence in his Heaven-Turning Seal, as if the battle would be over as soon as he unleashed it.

Under the Heaven-Turning Seal, Gao Yang looked at the mountains and rivers that were constantly enlarging in his eyes, feeling the malice that seemed to be directed at him by the entire world. The Eternal Radiance in his hand burst out with a sword cry.

His solar battle aura burned fiercely, and crimson killing sword energy bloomed on his body. Golden radiance of will continuously transformed into the power to wield the sword according to his thoughts.

"Natural Disaster: World Destruction!"

Gao Yang let out a low shout, and Yongyao slashed forward. The tip of the sword drew a perfect and precise scarlet arc in front of him. The moment the scarlet arc appeared, boundless killing intent burst forth from it.

Now, the Annihilation Sword Qi, after merging with the rules of slaughter, has increased its lethality by several orders of magnitude. The moment the crimson arc appeared, the surrounding suppressed space was directly annihilated by the sword qi. Then, the crimson arc crashed into the overturning Heaven Seal that was pressing down.

laugh!
With a soft sound, the scarlet arc slashed directly into the Heaven-Turning Seal.

As the Heaven-Turning Seal continued to fall, the crimson arc slashed deeper and deeper, almost instantly cutting completely into the interior of the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Gao Yang took a step forward, his body already rushing into the crack created by the Annihilation Sword Qi.

The moment the sword energy of Annihilation shattered the Heaven-Turning Seal, the young Taoist's expression changed drastically. His previous confidence vanished, replaced by an incredulous fear.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned deathly pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His connection with the Heaven-Turning Seal has been severed!
The young Taoist stomped hard on the five-colored peacock beneath his feet and roared at the top of his lungs, "Go!"

Just as the five-colored peacock flapped its wings, a piercing whistling sound came from within. It was a scarlet sword wheel that slashed out from the Heaven-Turning Seal and headed straight for the five-colored peacock.

The young Taoist priest made another hand seal, gathering the blood he had previously spat out and sending it directly into the body of the five-colored peacock.

As blood entered its body, the five-colored peacock let out a painful roar, its body radiating a brilliant five-colored light. The moment the scarlet sword wheel slashed into its body, it transformed into pure five-colored light and instantly appeared a hundred miles away.

"Wow!"

The five-colored peacock staggered slightly, but without pausing, it flapped its wings and continued to flee into the distance.

Behind it, the young Taoist priest was pale-faced, his eyes filled with heartache.

This time we've really bitten off more than we can chew. If we don't run fast, we might really die under that brute's sword.

Click!

Before the five-colored peacock could reach its maximum speed, the space where it had just been stood suddenly shattered, and a figure wielding a sword rushed out from the shattered space, heading straight for it without pausing.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable!"

The young Taoist turned his head and saw Gao Yang, his face grim and wielding a greatsword, chasing after him at lightning speed. Without saying a word, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

With the blessing of the young Taoist's blood, the five-colored peacock transformed into five-colored light once more, appearing a hundred miles away in an instant.

Seeing this, Gao Yang's eyes shone even brighter. He slashed down with Yongyao, and the space in front of him was cleaved open. He stepped directly into it.

Stab it!

A tearing sound rang out not far behind. The young Taoist's face was ashen, and the five-colored peacock beneath him had become emaciated with each burst of power. Its once glossy feathers now seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, looking utterly wretched.

The young Taoist turned around and shouted to Gao Yang, who was coming through the air, "Fellow Daoist, we have no deep-seated hatred for each other, let's stop here."

I am a direct disciple of Master Huang Yu. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. How about we turn hostility into friendship?

Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything, but the sword light beneath his feet increased even more.

Since the other party has powerful backers, then we can't let him live.

'Man-made disaster, swallows return.'

A golden sword shadow pierced through the air and appeared dozens of meters behind the Five-Colored Peacock. Upon seeing this golden sword shadow, both the Five-Colored Peacock and the young Taoist were filled with fear, clearly indicating that this was not the first time they had witnessed Gao Yang's sword strike.

The young Taoist priest slapped his chest hard and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof". In the repeated blood escapes, he no longer had much magic power and blood left to use.

Five-colored light shone, and the five-colored peacock paused for a moment.

Swish!
The moment the five-colored light shone, Gao Yang appeared at the location of the golden sword shadow, and his Yongyao sword slashed down mercilessly.

A burst of blood erupted, followed by a shrill scream. The five-colored light vanished abruptly, only to reappear hundreds of meters away.

Half of the bloodied body, along with a peacock wing, fell helplessly from the sky. Before it had fallen more than a few meters, it was caught in Gao Yang's backpack as he rushed past. Then, with a flash of sword light, he had already caught up with the five-colored peacock.

The five-colored peacock, whose body had been cut in half, cried out incessantly, its remaining wing too weak to flap.

The five-colored peacock suddenly stopped, causing the young Taoist to stumble. He then leaped off its back and continued to flee forward.

With a flash of sword light, the five-colored peacock's mournful cry abruptly ceased, and its head flew high into the air from its long neck.

Gao Yang dashed past the five-colored peacock, the gust of wind he created scattering the peacock's feathers.

Gao Yang watched the young Taoist priest fleeing ahead, and Yong Yao pointed in his direction.

Suddenly, a golden magical shield appeared on the young Taoist's body. A scarlet sword aura appeared on the surface of the shield, followed by a dense burst of sword aura that engulfed his body.

The Heart-Eating Sword did not cause any harm to the young Taoist, but the burst of sword energy successfully blocked his path. After he shattered all the sword energy, he saw Gao Yang already standing in front of him.

The young Taoist's lips moved rapidly as he spoke, "My master, Huang Yu Zhenren, is a quasi-saint, the pride of the human race in the Southern Continent. Killing me would bring you no benefit."

"Fellow Daoist, you are not injured either. I am willing to give all my possessions to redeem my life. What do you say?"

"Can a quasi-saint become the leader of the human race in the Southern Continent?"

Gao Yang stared at the young Taoist priest in front of him, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

The young Taoist raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconvinced, and retorted, "Fellow Daoist, that is a Quasi-Saint. Even the most powerful Golden Immortals are no different from ants in front of a Quasi-Saint."

"A quasi-saint might be somewhat inadequate in the Eastern Continent, but what more do you want from the Southern Continent?"

Gao Yang nodded. Since the young Taoist priest in front of him had made it so clear, he had no more reservations.

Seemingly sensing Gao Yang's change in mood, the young Taoist's expression changed drastically.

Before he could even speak, a crimson sword light flashed and disappeared.

A line of blood appeared on the young Taoist's neck. The young Taoist looked at Gao Yang with some confusion, not understanding why this sword cultivator was still so brutal even though he had spoken so sincerely.

Isn't he afraid of retaliation from his quasi-saint master?
The young Taoist priest's face was grim. Sensing the ignited life force and spirit within Gao Yang, he stared into Gao Yang's eyes and said, trembling:

"You brute, I'll be waiting for you in reincarnation. My master will avenge me."

Before he could finish speaking, a large hand had already grabbed his head, and before his soul could be completely burned away by the flames of the soul, it crushed his head.

The ignited soul shattered simultaneously with the cracking of the skull, and the scattered soul fragments were captured by Gao Yang, who then began a soul-searching process.

Fragments of memories appeared before Gao Yang's eyes, which he quickly flipped through.

After more than ten breaths, the young Taoist's scattered soul was completely burned away by the Soul Flame, and the soul search had to be stopped.

Gao Yang casually unleashed a sword aura, completely obliterating the young Taoist's body. With a flash of sword light, he vanished from the spot.

At the bottom of a lake, Gao Yang sat cross-legged on a dark blue boulder, his aura completely concealed, his entire being almost one with the boulder.

Although the young Taoist's soul was mostly burned away by his soul flames, the remaining fragments of his soul, after being searched by him, still gave him a general understanding of the Southern Continent.

Jambudvipa truly lives up to its legendary reputation as the "Sea of ​​Right and Wrong," where all beings, whether human, demon, sorcerer, Taoist, or Buddhist, are vying for power!

Fight for lineage! Fight for resources! Fight for destiny! Fight for everything that can be won!
All of this is a remnant of the immeasurable conflict after countless eons; in other words, the entire Jambudvipa was the main stage for the conflict.

As for the young Taoist, his own strength was only that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, he had become the disciple of a powerful Quasi-Saint Master, Huang Yu Zhenren, who bestowed upon him two Quasi-Saint magic treasures, the Heaven-Turning Seal and a copper coin, as well as a five-colored peacock. This made him a match for ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals.

This is why the young Taoist was so bold.

His statement that Huang Yu Zhenren was the most outstanding person among the people of Jambudvipa is both correct and incorrect.

It is correct that Huang Yu Zhenren is indeed a leading figure among the human race, but it is incorrect to say that he is only one of the leading figures.

In the entire Southern Jambudvipa, the strongest human is a Quasi-Saint, whose Daoist temple is located in the far east of the entire Southern Jambudvipa, very close to the Eastern Divine Continent.

As for the other four forces, they are basically consistent in terms of top-level combat power.

Gao Yang did not believe it was a coincidence.

In the young Taoist's memory, Gao Yang did not obtain any information about Grand Master Xuandu or Yang Jian and others, as if they no longer existed in the prehistoric world.

However, considering that the young Taoist was a native of the Southern Continent and his own strength was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he did not know much about the situation in the Eastern Continent, so Gao Yang was undecided about this.

To truly know all this, he would have to personally travel to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

As for the human city that he had previously targeted, its real name is Gan Yue City. The city lord, Gan Yue Zhenren, is a top-tier Da Luo cultivator. However, because he possesses a pseudo-innate spiritual treasure, the Gan Yue Spirit Talisman, even a Quasi-Saint would have to treat him with caution.

Gan Yue City was relatively peaceful. In the young Taoist's memory, Gan Yue City was passable, at least there were immortals guarding it.

"First, go to Ganyue City, meet this Ganyue Master, and ask him about the way to Dongsheng Divine Continent. If it's simple, then go directly to Dongsheng Divine Continent to find the subsequent cultivation method of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."

If we can't find them, we'll make other plans then.

As Gao Yang was thinking, he suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and a sharp sword aura erupted from his body.

The next instant, he vanished from the dark blue boulder.

Boom!

A fist-shaped imprint landed, shattering the dark blue boulder. The flying fragments mixed with the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, churning the riverbed.

Wow!

Gao Yang appeared on the surface of the river, his brows furrowed as he looked diagonally above at the burly, shirtless witch man.

On the opponent's bare chest, flame-like patterns coalesced into a giant tiger with strikingly different eyes.

The burly man from the Wu tribe looked down at Gao Yang, a cold smile appearing on his rugged face: "So you really are here, Human Sword Demon."

Gao Yang didn't care about the way the burly man from the Wu tribe addressed him, but simply asked, "How did you find me?"

"What good would it do to tell a dying man?"

The burly man from the Wu tribe pointed his finger, and a black, armored flying insect the size of a grain of rice hovered at his fingertip. "This is a tracking Gu worm raised by the chieftain of the Lei Ze tribe. It was this Gu worm that guided me to find you."

"But I'm curious, why did the chieftain of the Lei Ze tribe issue a kill order against you? Was it just because of those three good-for-nothings?"

“And Lei Ying.” Gao Yang shifted his gaze from the black-armored Gu worms and said upon hearing this.

"Lei Ying?"

The burly man was clearly surprised, but the next second his smile became even more ferocious, and the red tiger head on his chest also revealed a hint of bloodlust.

"I never expected that Lei Ying would die at your hands. It seems that the reward will have to be doubled."
