"Taoist Master Duo's thoughts were good, but unfortunately, fate was against him. All his plans were seen by another powerful figure, and as soon as he successfully opened a Nanyang cave treasure hall, he was immediately attacked by him."
"Who are you? Why did you kill the Daoist Master?" Totally unaware of his exposure, Duo Baotao was caught off guard.
A ghostly figure appeared abruptly behind him, silent and unspoken. Duo Bao hurried to swing his sword, the Zhaixian sword filled with deadly intent, emitting a scarlet glow that enveloped an area of one hundred thousand miles around. Yet, this seemingly guaranteed slash ended in a blank.
The assassin detached from his mental lock and vanished instantly.
Duo Bao couldn't change his move in time, and he felt an overwhelming force breaking through three artifacts and two layers of magical defenses, smashing into his chest fiercely.
This was not magic, nor was it a divine skill like wind, fire, thunder, or lightning; it was sheer strength, the ultimate physical power.
A punch was almost enough to shatter his chest, indicating that Duo Bao's cultivation in the Buddhist Gate had allowed him to attain the 'Lotus Six-Gold Body', and his physical cultivation here had also made great strides. Otherwise, this punch could have directly punctured his chest.
"Your physique is quite robust." The voice of the assassin was deep and imposing, as if he were the true sovereign of this realm, hovering in the air.
Duo Bao gritted his teeth in the back, successively intoning incantations and arranging three layers of magical defenses in front of him. He then extracted more than a dozen defensive artifacts he had forged from the Treasure Tower, quickly containing his injuries before turning to face the enemy.
This person was extremely tall, with muscles knotted all over his body. He was bare-chested and wore a leather skirt, embodying a sense of thickness brought forth from the ancient wilderness.
Duo Bao had seen a similar kind of thickness in Zhenyuanzi. However, Zhenyuanzi controlled the primitive land veins, and once he was enraged, everything would change with the mountains and rivers, and the stars would be upside down. In front of this person, it seemed like the embodiment of the earth veins. He did not need to be angry; he was anger itself.
Who is this person? Taoist Master Duo didn't recognize the assassin at all. Such a powerful individual, he must have an impression if he had ever seen him.
The burly man smiled and said, "I've been away from the primitive wilderness for so many years, and you youngsters don't even know my name? Bring out whatever opportunities you have gained, and let the old man take a look. If it's useless, let you go."
His words were unequivocal, and there was no need to worry about this man lying.
Duo Bao had nothing to offer! The materials in the Immortal Teacher's Hall were not necessary for him, and giving them to this deep and inscrutable burly man was not a problem. However, he believed that the other person was not referring to those materials.
"Arrogant!" Not even the Southern Sea's cave treasure was worth it. Duo Bao still used the "See Supremacy" method, leaving illusions behind and slipping away silently.
The burly man's insight was undoubtedly several times stronger than that of Master Xuan Du. After more than a dozen breaths, he chased after him.
No matter where Duo Bao ran, the other could catch up to him in an instant and launch rapid attacks on him.
Knowing that the other party's attack power was astonishing, Duo Bao had to use artifacts that were many times stronger for defense.
It's hard to say, this technique is effective. While the power of the body has its limits, Duo Bao's artifacts also have their limits.
In half an hour, he had destroyed seven umbrella type artifacts, five seal type artifacts, twelve treasure tower type artifacts, as well as numerous magical beads, symbols, crowns, and robes. Even his artifact for slaying corpses—Duo Bao Tower—had been used for defense twice, resulting in damage to the tower's body. It had to be put away again.
"Space law?" For a moment, Duo Bao even suspected that it was his colleague from Ling Mountain who had disguised himself as a man and sneak attacked him. However, the method of controlling space between them was completely different. The man's body showed no trace of the Xuanmen cultivation, and Deng Changyun would not have been able to completely abandon Xuanmen techniques to pursue the path of cultivating the physical body.
"Ancestral Witch? Di Jiang? You are Di Jiang? You should have fallen long ago!" Duo Bao was quite surprised. During the war between the Shamanic race and the race of demons, the sages were just about to attain enlightenment. Duo Bao had just reached the Great Realm at that time and dare not provoke the twelve ancestral witches, who were of the same origin as the three holy sages. He hadn't seen Di Jiang, who was known as the Ancestor of Space, and neither had he heard of Di Jiang. Even among some demon kings and demon saints, several hadn't even seen him in person.
Di Jiang's smile was not sinister, on the contrary, it was quite heroic. Other than showing some respect to the Zhaixian sword, he ignored all other artifacts.
His space abilities were innate, and it was as easy as drinking water or eating meals. To Duo Bao, it seemed a bit difficult, but there were too many artifacts to count. Also, they weren't particularly powerful. If not for the loss of so much ancestral witch blood after his fall, he could have killed Duo Bao in half an hour during his peak.
One chasing, one fleeing.
Duo Bao dare not run aimlessly outside. This extremely powerful Di Jiang was too formidable for him to resist. He could only rely on various artifacts to delay time. Without a doubt, he had to return to the Green Palace as quickly as possible! The blame from the Human Cult and the Shang cult can be dealt with later. First, he needed to force this formidable enemy to retreat before discussing other matters.
He turned from the south to the east.
He quickly entered the East Sea area.
Di Jiang continued to pursue, and as long as it was not a sage or they didn't encounter the chaotic bells that suppressed space, he had no fear of any enemy.
"Three younger brothers, quickly come to my aid!" From a distance, Duo Bao saw the eight-shaped headed fairy, the spirit-toothed fairy, and the golden light fairy, and immediately called for help.
The three attendant immortals did not go to the Immortal Teacher's Hall to join the commotion, but instead gathered together and secretly discussed the matter of defecting to Buddhism.
The attendant immortals, to put it nicely, were merely a form of accompaniment, and in reality, they were not considered disciples.
Before, one tail of the Six-Soul Banner was stolen by King Jiang, which made the Heavenly God of Communication feel extremely embarrassed. As a result, he became somewhat cold towards the seven attendants in charge of the Six-Soul Banner.
The twisted-headed fairy was worried about being ostracized in Buddhism if he went alone, so he had been trying to get more of his brothers to jump ship with him. Today, he had been persuading the spirit-toothed fairy to convince the golden light fairy, when suddenly, Duo Bao jumped out and gave them a scare.
If Duo Bao were in charge of Buddhism, he would naturally be more cautious in his words and actions. Now that Moonlight Buddha was overseeing the affairs of Buddhism, what does it have to do with you? He treated them as mere tools.
That fellow has some tricks. You three quickly set up the Taiji Formation, the Two-in-One Formation, and the Four Symbols Formation to block him for me!
Having been in charge of Jiudiao for so many years, Duo Bao's accumulated authority was very heavy, and the three attendant immortals to the twisted-headed fairy and the spirit-toothed fairy and the golden light fairy dared not neglect their master, acting reflexively to set up formations.
The three formations were personally imparted by the Heavenly God of Communication, each with its unique strengths. At this moment, the three formations combined, resembling three layers of fishing nets, Taiji transforming into Two-in-One, and Two-in-One transforming into Four Symbols. Even though Di Jiang's space abilities were extraordinary, it was difficult for him to break through the blockade at once.
Looking at Duo Bao's distant figure as he fled, Di Jiang turned his head and looked at the twisted-headed fairy, the spirit-toothed fairy, and the golden light fairy. His gaze was filled with anger. The cooked duck had flown away.
