"You mean I'll swallow a sword, not die from the Triple Demon Worms." The voice echoed, and Han Jin emerged from the shadows.
At this moment, the aura he emits is completely different from before. Firstly, the Three-Body Worms absorbed into his body have disappeared completely, and his own middle-body white has vanished as well.
I noticed the position where he was before, and there was a wooden gourd on the ground.
Regarding Tian Gong Quan, Han Jin didn't use it on the day of the Four Rules Mountain. After that, he never explicitly stated whether or not he would use it again. Everything about it has been mere speculation and inference by He Youtian and Mao Yousan.
"Why didn't the Assistant Master Han leave that wolf behind? I thought you would have slain it." Mao San Yue raised another question.
Han Jin fell silent for a moment before saying, "Why didn't you really kill it? Is it because of the trouble and the risk? It feared death, so you let it go. Beasts are not humans; the human is already in your hands."
"Hahaha." Mao San Yue just smiled and didn't answer directly.
Han Jin's gaze fell on my back. His eyes grew deeper, and he murmured, "Indeed, it is such a person. He didn't appear back then and forced us into an absolute dead end."
This remark subtly supported Mao You San's previous judgment.
"He's also at a dead end today."
Mao San Yue took the opportunity to speak. He did not mind being manipulated by Han Jin, but rather, it seemed as if he wanted to build a good relationship with him.
This time, it was Han Jin who did not answer Mao You San.
He stepped forward, walking towards the entrance outside.
The journey to the White Wolf Cave, seemingly thrilling, was much easier than expected.
Liu Taixuan, Mao You San, and Han Jin are all extremely powerful combatants, which is like us being in the open and the people in the White Wolf Cave being in the dark. They have always been at a disadvantage, only able to be manipulated and arranged.
Only yesterday, Wu Jinluan and others like the Underworld were not strong enough, plus they didn't understand the celestial beings in this place, which led to mistakes. We had been wandering on the mountain for so long and lost one Hu Zhi Xian.
"Their realm has increased, but they are exhausted, and their state is even worse than before."
As he spoke, Han Jin had completely stood three meters outside the entrance of the White Wolf Cave.
"Back then, they didn't want to leave the cave, nor did they let us leave. They wouldn't let us see the sky. Today, they refuse to stay in the cave, so I can see the sky."
"Several younger brothers, I, will avenge you."
Han Jin waved his sleeve, sat cross-legged, and with his hands, he formed a seal, tilting his head slightly to look up at the sky.
"Appearing as a god, I know you don't believe in fate." Mao You San suddenly spoke.
For a moment, I was puzzled.
"Destiny is a circle, a point here, extending in an unknown direction, and finally, it will return here. What's enclosed in the middle of the circle is the upheaval and displacement of a person's life. Birth is death, and death is also life; the circle contains a predetermined process."
"The array of Taoist cultivators in the White Wolf Cave think that they have left the Iron Mountain and are so powerful that even the Iron Mountain's Black Old Lady cannot stop them. However, they didn't expect to meet people from Four Rules Mountain, let alone just tormenting a lawful Taoist cultivator, which would attract the strongest branch of the Four Rules Mountain."
"They knew that the past wasn't the end, and Four Rules Mountain would definitely come back, which was also their opportunity to leave the cave. However, they didn't know about our countless plans and our strength that was more than enough to crush them."
"Now, it's not like back then."
Mao You San's reflections seemed to me to have little practical value for me.
To me, it's just the fact that this event occurred and was completed.
At most, it's just a fight that could be beneficial to me. I don't want to understand them.
"You, you can't accept these words, because you have always been resisting fate. When fate comes, you want to block it, not avoid it or submit to it. My words are here; you will suffer a big loss." Mao San Yue's statement was particularly direct.
In fact, Mao You San's words were said earlier by He Youtian.
"If you think I'm accurate, then you should believe in fate." Mao You San said again.
I didn't respond.
Because of He Youtian's words, he didn't tell me what to do, but I had already figured it out. I already knew what I should do when such a situation actually happened.
That's why whether or not to answer Mao You San now is not important.
Our conversation was just a few sentences, only lasting a few breaths.
Han Jin seemed to have adjusted everything and adapted to the realm in front of him, free from the interference of the Three Body Worms.
He opened his mouth, and the resounding incantation burst out.
"The General of Heaven Hedgehog commands, leading the Thunder God. Swift fire god, eight generals serving. Thunder fierce officer, eight trigram generals. Lord Taiyi true ruler, Five Thunder Mighty Troops. I now command to summon, swiftly arrive at Geng Palace. Hurry like the commandments!"
This incantation was like thunder in the ears, stronger than the one used by He Youtian!
Summon Thunder God Incantation!
He Youtian used this combination of thunder laws to completely eliminate the resistance ability of the plague ghosts.
At first, Second Senior Elder Lv Du also wanted to use this thunder law to tear open the sky above the terrible prison beside the deep pool, but he failed.
About twenty to thirty meters outside the cave, Liu Taixuan was still fighting fiercely, but suddenly all the celestial beings on him stood up straight, their hair standing on end completely!
Thunder is a threat to mountain spirits and wild monsters, especially celestial beings who have achieved cultivation. They are more afraid of thunder.
That's why the people in the White Wolf Cave didn't let the people from Four Rules Mountain come out to fight. They fought directly in their own den, which was the reason.
Normal thunder can withstand it, but natural thunder is completely ineffective.
Not only Liu Taixuan, the other two arrayed Taoist cultivators also felt like facing an enemy. They three of them almost simultaneously stopped fighting, as if shot out of a bowstring, heading in three different directions to escape!
"The Seven Stars of the North Polar Constellation, infused with thunder!"
"The direction of the Great Fortitude, and the five thunderbolts rise urgently!"
"……"
"I summon the five thunderbolts, fire urgency lightning, all obeying the command!"
The final incantation was over in a flash.
What can be heard is the dense and continuous thunder rumbling.
The black night in front of me first added a fine spider web, and then a blinding white light!
This was not the thunder I summoned through my ritual, but a storm of thunderbolts!
My vision was blurred, my ears were almost deaf, and I was completely in a state of emptiness.
I didn't mention that my previous strength was insufficient, but now that I have reached the half-step true man realm, even under such a level of thunder laws, I am still as insignificant as an ant.
I am just a slightly stronger ray of light, while Han Jin is like the tallest lighthouse on the mountain!
"Could it be that the move was too heavy?" Mao San Yue's words carried a hint of doubt.
My vision slowly recovered.
Mao You San was still in his original position, and he slowly opened his eyes as well.
Only then do I understand the meaning of what Mao San Yue said.
Three directions, with three people lying down.
Not only did the two Taoist cultivators from the White Wolf Cave fall.
Liu Taixuan was also injured and fell.
Under the heavenly thunder, who could remain unscathed?
The more powerful the heavenly thunder, the harder it is to control. The ones I used at first were all basic heavenly thunder, which required talismans to guide them. Of course, no one could escape the lightning strike where the ritual was performed.
Han Jin did not answer Mao San Yue immediately. He didn't stand up either. Instead, he was one hand forming a seal pointing to the sky, and his clothes were wind-whipped.
He was trying to determine if the two arrayed Taoist cultivators needed another blow.
"Enough, if you strike again, they'll be turned into charcoal. Fortunately, they are Taoists who have undergone a reanimation; if it were an ordinary Taoist, they wouldn't be of any use." Mao You San quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to stop Han Jin's action.
At this moment, a large crowd of people are running towards us from the distance.
It is clear that it is Wu Jinluan, a group of teachers, and several people saved by Meng Fang from his predicament, as well as the disciples of Yuan Xian Daoist Temple.
Han Jin finally stopped. He calmly said, "If I had entered the scene without using such a fierce move, I couldn't have taken down the two of them immediately. As fellow reanimated Taoists, they haven't been bothered by the Three Insects yet. Although I have unraveled the Three Insects, it doesn't mean my power can take another step forward. They have seen you succeed; our greatest advantage has fallen into our hands, and in the next moment, they would scatter like monkeys when their tree falls."
"Since Liu Taixuan thinks he can do it, does he also realize the risk of being struck by lightning? I'll assume he has considered it."
"And even if we take the argument a step back, this group of people have caused harm to the local area. Iron Cross Mountain has suffered no loss, and they should at least be punished."
Han Jin's words indeed sound quite reasonable.
On the Jidong Mountain, the White Wolf Cave has caused great harm, and the Iron Cross Mountain did not intervene back then. The Four Regulations Mountain suffered heavy losses, and after that, only symbolically sent people to open a ritual site on the Jidong Mountain, but failed to fulfill their responsibility of supervision.
Liu Taixuan had been acting arrogant, so Han Jin naturally had no need to consider him any further.
"All right, it does make sense. I just hope the people from Iron Cross Mountain don't act without reason." Mao You San nodded, indicating his agreement with Han Jin's reasoning.
Later, Mao You San hurried towards the two arrayed Taoist cultivators.
I also noticed faintly that Liu Taixuan was trembling……
Looking more closely, I noticed that there were no scorch marks on him at all!
"Huh?" Han Jin also clearly noticed this problem.
"So that's why. These beasts, it seems, do have some intelligence." Han Jin nodded slightly.
I noticed that further ahead, at a certain distance from Liu Taixuan, there were five completely charred skeletons.
Exactly corresponding to the five celestial beings used by Liu Taixuan earlier.
Monsters, once they reach a certain climate, naturally attract lightning strikes. Liu Taixuan is destined to be struck by this heavenly thunder, so the five celestial beings sacrificed themselves to save him.
They drew the heavenly thunder away to a greater distance, and Liu Taixuan only suffered some collateral damage without losing his life.
As for the two Taoist cultivators who had been accompanying them, the wolves they had tamed were not as loyal.
Besides, the wolves were faster and had escaped from their masters, putting the two Taoist cultivators in a more passive situation, where they were completely hit by the strike.
Soon, Wu Jinlan and the others arrived at our side, looking very tense. After Old Gong landed on my shoulder, he squinted to look around.
Mao You San laughing loudly and happily, with an excellent mood.
As for the disciples of Yuan Xian Daoist Temple, they surrounded Liu Taixuan, unable to see the specific situation.
"I say, Old Han head, your heart can be a bit broader. Why did you strike him?" Old Gong's words were similar to Mao You San's initial question.
I didn't wait for Han Jin to speak before answering Old Gong.
"Oh," Old Gong said, before continuing, "Then you are taking yourself too seriously and not giving Mao You San enough credit. Can he let the bodies he wants to recover get away? Now, Iron Cross Mountain will definitely not be satisfied. They won't be satisfied until they have an explanation from you. Mao You San can keep himself clean."
Han Jin's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Iron Cross Mountain must give me an explanation for my late son, and also for these several of my disciples."
"In the end, it's a matter of unresolved resentment. But don't think that drinking Tian Gong Spring will let you disregard your emotions and act recklessly." Old Gong was surprisingly serious.
