In the estate, the three hundred Kezhi troops surrounded the twenty bandits in front of them.
With a 100-plus-jin bing iron spear in hand, Zhurang stared fiercely at the several commanders riding towards him, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Little did he know that from the side came a astonished voice of Liu Guibai.
Zhurang involuntarily glanced at Liu Guibai, then followed his gaze to find the young man in a Taoist robe, surrounded by many soldiers.
This young man was wearing a green Taoist robe, had a white silk headband on, and was holding a deep yellow magic sword. It gave people a sense of calm and tranquility.
However, Zhurang felt an endless threat from this young Daoist.
He had a vague feeling that this young Daoist seemed to be a cultivator of physique as well, and his power was even stronger than his own!
When Zhurang looked over, the troops split to both sides.
The young Taoist rode forward slowly, expressionless, "Yes, it's me."
Liu Guibai was so angry that he laughed, "Good! Very good! I didn't expect you to be so capable. You've actually managed to summon the Kezhi troops of the Tang Dynasty to assist you in battle. Your actions, exploiting the multitude to bully the minority, won't you be embarrassed for us Daoists?
Chen Yun looked at him as if he were a fool. "It wasn't you who bullied the minority with the majority first? I'm just returning the favor."
Liu Guibai's laughter abruptly stopped. For a moment, he was speechless and didn't know how to respond. Indeed, before that, he had ambushed with several disciples of the dead on the road, which seemed to be him who had no face.
Thought of this, Liu Guibai somewhat angrily said: "Chen Yun, do you think that two or three hundred mortal troops can control Zhurang and me?"
As the words fell, another ripple once again rippled through the air.
Immediately after, the originally clear sky turned gray again. Gray and murky air currents rose continuously from the ground, and the terrifying demon god once again rose from the universe.
"Ha ha, just now you had protective talismans. Now that the talismans have been burned, I want to see how you will resist my illusions and dream spells!" Liu Guibai laughed madly and loudly said: "Zhurang, move immediately!"
A sharp intake of breath!
A loud noise came from the big iron spear.
It was obvious that Zhurang had moved.
No one expected that between words, Liu Guibai had secretly activated his Taoist arts, enveloping the scene and the two or three hundred soldiers within it.
Zhang Gan's face changed.
Ma Qin and Yan Meng were also startled in their hearts.
The remaining three hundred soldiers, none of whom had expected the opposing sorcerer to be so formidable, were once again ensnared by his illusions without a sound.
Previously, everyone had the Peace and Disaster talisman to protect their bodies, but this time there was none!
At the moment when everyone was frightened,
Suddenly!
"Humph!"
A cold snort arose spontaneously.
A golden light flashed in everyone's minds, and a vast thought was born.
Immediately after, the incomplete illusion shattered suddenly.
It was evident that the illusion had been shattered again!
Liu Guibai looked at Chen Yun in disbelief, "That's impossible! Impossible! You're just an eight-rank sorcerer. How can you possibly break through the dream spell I've cast?"
Everyone rushed to look, and found that Chen Yun had jumped down from the horse's back at some point, still holding the deep yellow magic sword, which was glowing with a faint lightning-like light.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that Liu Guibai's illusion had been shattered by Chen Yun with his grand law!
Carrying the Azure Gold Slashing Demon Sword, Chen Yun walked slowly towards Liu Guibai with a narrow-eyed, half-smiling, half-serious expression: "Liu Brother, haven't you heard the saying that one should look at others with new eyes after three days apart?"
Liu Guibai's face had some paleness. "I don't believe it! I don't believe you could go from an eight-rank sorcerer to a seven-rank sorcerer in just a few days!"
Chen Yun said in a faint tone, "Is that so?"
With those words, a resounding boom echoed, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
It seems like a huge stone falling from the mountain to the ground!
"What's going on?" Zhurang lifted his head abruptly to look.
Liu Guibai's expression suddenly changed as if he remembered something.
Although Zhang Gan, Ma Qin, Yan Meng, and others heard the loud noise and were a bit confused, seeing Chen Yun's grasp on Liu Guibai made them all stay still, only preparing to attack. As long as Zhurang and Liu Guibai showed any abnormal behavior, they would immediately launch an attack.
At the moment when everyone was confused,
Bang!
A sudden gust of wind blew by.
Next, everyone saw a huge tree falling from the sky and directly towards Liu Guibai, Zhurang, and the other two dozen or so Yellow Turban Rebellion bandits.
Zhurang and the Yellow Turban bandits' faces turned pale, and they all tensed their muscles to try to avoid it.
However, Liu Guibai loudly shouted, "Illusion, don't be afraid!"
As soon as his words fell, Zhurang was hit hard by the tree.
As expected, there was no sound at all, and Zhurang was not flattened into a meat pie.
Liu Guibai smiled with great satisfaction, "Just my dream spell..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhurang's eyes rolled up and he fell straight back, losing consciousness.
Liu Guibai was terrified, "Soul-binding spell! You actually mastered the soul-binding spell! How could a mere eight-rank sorcerer perform such a spell? I don't believe it!"
Chen Yun didn't even respond to his words.
Just as Liu Guibai finished his words, Chen Yun's figure instantly blurred into golden light dots.
Suddenly, a shocking heat rushed towards the face.
Liu Guibai only saw a giant disk-sized hand, composed of golden light, descending towards him and the remaining Yellow Turban bandits.
At the same time, Liu Guibai caught a glimpse of a golden-jeweled immortal as tall as four or five li, with his entire body shining like gold, appearing in the spot where Chen Yun had been standing.
Wasn't this the scene he had previously used to ambush Chen Yun and Zhang Gan?
Liu Guibai was so shocked that he no longer hesitated to conceal his power. He hurriedly activated the force of his soul shadow and waved his hand, sending a cold light lashing towards the giant hand of gold armor, which had been coming down to capture it.
The golden armor god's hand, in its grasp, was powerful beyond measure.
The air seemed to be rippling with waves as if the giant hand of gold was causing it to vibrate!
The cold radiance was not affected at all, and it fiercely pierced the giant hand of gold.
Boom!
A resounding boom erupted from the place where the giant hand of gold and the cold radiance collided.
The next second, everyone saw that there was no golden armor god left, nor did they see the flash of cold radiance.
Only Chen Yun held a deep yellow divine sword to block the "needle" with a length equal to the tip of his finger, emitting cold rays.
"Brother Chen!"
"Master Chen, are you all right?"
Zhang Gan, Ma Qin, and Yan Meng rushed to care for him.
Chen Yun didn't even turn his head, casually said: "It's fine."
While he said that, in reality, when the flying needle struck, he used the Azure Gold Slashing Demon Sword to block it and felt a powerful shockwave come through. His arms were numb from the impact.
If it wasn't for the Azure Gold Slashing Demon Sword, which suppressed the flying needle, he would have been in trouble just now!
"Huh, so it's this divine sword that has boosted your strength significantly." Liu Guibai seemed to have understood something. Without any visible action, he placed his hands behind his back, and the flying needle automatically circled around his body. "As they say, treasure is for those who are worthy. Your weak power doesn't deserve such a divine sword. Hand it over to me!"
After this exchange, Liu Guibai seemed to have understood Chen Yun's strengths, and he let out a cold laugh in a high-pitched voice.
In his laughter, Liu Guibai's body suddenly became limp, and he fell to the ground for no apparent reason, with only the flying needle constantly circling around.
At the same time, a golden airflow emerged from his ear, transforming into an image of a man who was not more than three inches tall, with clear eyebrows and flowing robes.
The face of this man was exactly the same as Liu Guibai's, with a faint cold smile on his face. "You, an eight-rank sorcerer, can't achieve spiritual enlightenment through cultivation. As long as I merge the spiritual energy of my soul into the sword spirit, this divine sword will belong to me!"
Perhaps the sun's rays do considerable damage to the spirit shadows.
As Liu Guibai spoke, the little golden figure emitted waves of black spiritual energy that seemed to be burned.
He didn't care, and plunged into Chen Yun's divine sword at once.
The next moment, Chen Yun felt that the divine sword seemed to have cut off its connection with him!
He changed color abruptly, never expecting that Liu Guibai would want to seize his divine sword.
If the divine sword was taken, coupled with Liu Guibai's seventh-rank sorcerer powers, no one in the scene, including the 300 soldiers, would be able to survive today if their divine sword was taken away!
Chen Yun hurriedly roared, "Everyone, shield me from the sunlight!"
Although they didn't know what Chen Yun was doing, Zhang Gan, Ma Qin, and Yan Meng quickly took off their clothes or caps, covering Chen Yun's head to block out the sunlight.
Chen Yun had no hesitation in manifesting his spiritual shadow.
The next moment, a searing sensation surged in, burning his spiritual shadow and causing waves of black spiritual energy to emanate from it.
A sharp pain made Chen Yun want to cry out in agony, but he knew this was not the time for that. Immediately, like Liu Guibai, he pushed his spiritual shadow into the divine sword.
...
In the divine sword.
Liu Guibai was surprised that Chen Yun dared to manifest his spiritual shadow and chase after him, and he burst into a rage, "You're courting death!"
Suddenly, Liu Guibai roared loudly and the gold light around his body condensed. He became completely gold, sparkling with golden light particles that danced like fireworks.
A tremendous force burst from Liu Guibai's body. He pointed at a distance, and a ray of gold light transformed into a giant hand reaching towards Chen Yun's spiritual shadow to grasp it.
Chen Yun rushed to dodge, but he was still grazed by the giant hand of gold.
In an instant, a buzzing noise and intense pain emerged from the spiritual shadow.
He knew that the other party's spiritual power far exceeded his own, and that a direct confrontation would surely not be in his favor.
He had to quickly merge the divine sword's spirit to expel Liu Guibai, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Chen Yun didn't respond, and he directly flew towards the pure "Dragon Shadow".
Liu Guibai seemed to have noticed something, "Little rascal, don't run!"
At the same time, the golden light on Liu Guibai's body suddenly increased, filling the entire space.
The golden light suddenly spun, as if the mountains and rivers had been shattered, trying to shred everything inside the sword, including Chen Yun's spiritual shadow!
Facing such pressure, Chen Yun felt the crushing force around him. He knew this was Liu Guibai using the power of his spiritual shadow. If he was caught, he would surely be scattered to the winds and die.
"Star River Whirlpool!"
Chen Yun showed no fear and activated his own spiritual shadow power, using Lin Feiyun's ultimate technique.
Suddenly, it seemed that time in the divine sword space was speeding up.
The sky quickly turned dark.
It wasn't a pitch-black darkness where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but rather a night sky filled with stars.
The stars in the sky shone brightly.
A streak of comets cut across the night sky.
A sea of stars filled the vast, azure sky in an instant.
It was magnificent, awe-inspiring, and incredibly majestic!
Liu Guibai was shocked again, "How could you possibly know Lin's Star River Whirlpool?"
Chen Yun only wanted to quickly merge with the spirit of the divine sword, so he paid no attention to Liu Guibai.
He continued to activate his spiritual shadow power.
The countless stars and star rivers in the sky above began to rotate violently.
The Milky Way seemed to have been torn apart, turning into a huge star river whirlpool that constantly pressed down!
The heavens are falling!
The sky has fallen!
Liu Guibai immediately felt a powerful force coming from all directions, and he frantically activated his spiritual shadow, emitting a burst of golden light.
In an instant, the Star River Whirlpool had already appeared above his head.
In that moment, Liu Guibai felt as if the heavens were lower than the earth!
However, this situation didn't last long. Liu Guibai let out a loud roar and the terrifying golden light in his spiritual shadow was even more intense. In an instant, it dispersed the Star River Whirlpool.
At this point, Chen Yun had already approached the spirit of the divine sword.
Behind him, Liu Guibai's mocking laughter echoed, "Huh, so you're all bark and no bite. I thought you really knew how to use Lin's Star River Whirlpool. Let me show you what a Star River Whirlpool is truly like! Though my display is not even a twelfth as powerful as Lin's, it's more than enough to deal with you!"
Just as he spoke, Chen Yun felt that the scenery in front of him changed, and he fell into an endless starry void. It was completely black, with stars shining brightly.
Hmm?
Is this the starry void illusion of the Star River Whirlpool's greatest power?
Chen Yun's heart shook. The Star River Whirlpool he had just used had already disappeared, and the starry void illusion that appeared now was not one he had created, but rather one conjured by Liu Guibai using the power of his spiritual shadow.
The vast and desolate starry void around him had no end in sight, and he had no idea where he was.
Chen Yun knew he was trapped, but...
"Little thief! Do you think that cultivating a little spiritual shadow can compare to me?" The arrogant voice of Liu Guibai came from the void. "Your spiritual shadow power is weak and pitiful. If not for your true qi, your spiritual shadow power alone might be at the level of a ninth-rank sorcerer. I, on the other hand, have already become a seventh-rank sorcerer, hundreds of times stronger than you! The huge difference in strength is something that cannot be made up by any external means. You can... die!"
Liu Guibai's voice echoed from the infinite starry void, sounding like a cat playing with a mouse.
Accompanied by his mocking voice, the countless stars began to flicker as if they were marbles, rushing towards Chen Yun's spiritual shadow with great force.
Everyone knew that this was no longer within the scope of illusions, but a form of dark magic called "Luoyun Arts." If Chen Yun's spiritual shadow was hit by the stars, he would certainly be scattered to bits!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Chen Yun, who had not replied to Liu Guibai's words, suddenly spoke.
Liu Guibai was startled, "Why aren't you afraid?"
"I am not afraid, simply because I am not!"
Chen Yun let out a light laugh.
Liu Guibai's heart filled with a sense of unease.
Boom!
The endless starry void trembled, and a mighty five-clawed golden dragon with fierce claws and a strong glow of gold surged up from the void!
As soon as the five-clawed golden dragon appeared, its entire body shone with a fierce light similar to the sun exploding, expanding and spreading in all directions violently.
The golden light illuminated wherever it went, causing the starry void in those areas to start disintegrating and collapsing!
In an instant, the entire starry void was extinguished, replaced entirely by golden light, within which was a colossal five-clawed golden dragon!
"Divine Sword Spirit!"
Within the golden light, came a high-pitched, terrified shriek from Liu Guibai.
He never could have imagined that Chen Yun's spiritual shadow had merged with the divine sword spirit, unleashing an endless amount of power.
Originally, Chen Yun's spiritual shadow's power would not have been able to match Liu Guibai's.
However, when the divine sword spirit was inside the sword, it possessed strength comparable to that of a ghost deity. Now that Chen Yun has merged with it, he is able to harness the power of the sword spirit and instantly completely reverse the situation. The golden light sweeps through and almost sends Liu Guibai's spiritual shadow scattering, which is still due to Chen Yun's inexperience in utilizing the power of the sword spirit. Otherwise, this blow would have directly destroyed Liu Guibai's spiritual shadow!
Liu Guibai never expected that Chen Yun, merged with the sword spirit, could unleash such terrifying power. If he were hit again, he would surely be annihilated, body and spirit.
At this moment, Liu Guibai dared not stay inside the divine sword anymore. He let out a shrill, howling scream and fled from the divine sword.
Upon hearing the scream, Chen Yun's spiritual shadow slowly separated from the sword spirit.
Immediately, the five-clawed golden dragon disappeared, and the golden light vanished as well.
Of course, Liu Guibai's spiritual shadow also vanished.
Chen Yun knew that Liu Guibai's spiritual shadow had sustained significant damage, which was the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
At this moment, he finally generated a true killing intent, vowing to become a person only by killing Liu Guibai!
