Episode 98

  Just as Bu Xu and Chang'er were hastily fleeing towards Yixiu Gate, they suddenly felt a great pressure bearing down on them.

  "Ah! Chang'er be careful!"

  Chang'er said:

  "Insufficient brother, what a big law enforcement officer, hurry up and get out of the way!"

  "Chang Er, don't mind it, let's go quickly!"

  Insufficient to see the giant hammer coming to strike, there is no way to avoid it. Only fearing injury to Chang'er, he rushed forward without regard for his own life, using his body to block the flying giant hammer.

  "Oh no! Not enough, brother, it's not allowed!"

  That Chang'er was shocked to the point of her soul flying out! She quickly turned around to save him, but it was already too late. The giant hammer had already made contact with him. All that could be seen were his two hands emitting a faint blue glow as they pressed against the bottom of the hammer, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out wildly. However, the giant hammer didn't even slow down slightly, still falling straight down with its original momentum.

  "Not enough, brother! Ah!"

  Chang'er let out a loud wail, her two hands forming a seal as if she was about to unleash a deadly attack that would annihilate all cultivators in the area!

  "Don't hurt that puppet!"

  A cold voice was uttered, and even the eight great masters were shocked in their hearts. They raised their eyes to take a look, and a green shadow emerged from the body of the young master. It was clear that this shadow was not the young master himself. As his words fell, the giant hammer suddenly disappeared. Insufficient was also injured and fell down, retreating dozens of feet away. Chang'er rushed over and hugged Insufficient:

  "Insufficient older brother, how are you?"

  "It doesn't matter, don't worry!"

  His face was pale and his voice trembled slightly. The eight great masters saw that Feng Cheng and Fu Jun were unharmed, so they turned their eyes straight past them, staring at the figure in front of them:

  "Who are you?"

  "A certain hidden leader is also Wenshan, I suppose you are one of the eight great masters of the Yixiu Gate!"

  "Indeed! But I wonder why Lord Wen has arrested one of my disciples from the Easy Repair Gate?"

  "This person has great use for me, I hope the Eight Great Masters will spare him! I'll secretly pay out of my own pocket to make up for it!"

  "Hah... Hah... Hah! Wen Lingshu, how could you sell our sect's disciples to another sect? If this transaction gets out, can our Yixiu Sect still exist in the world? Don't waste words, since you've come, then take them all! Kill!"

  "Welcome! Since it's come to this, I'll kill you."

  Both sides of the cultivators clashed again, and within a thousand feet, the sky was filled with the sparks of colliding treasures and magical instruments. The sound of shouting and killing was incessant. The rocky cliffs on the island were trampled inch by inch, turning into dust, and scattered in all directions by the fierce winds of battle. The mad wolves rose up from the sea, wave after wave crashing against the island, even the sandy beach disappeared with the flowing water! The entire island was like a stone skull, with thousands of holes, its surface completely clean, as if it had been washed clean, but standing desolately in the middle of the water.

  The eight great masters' hands and fingers flew swiftly, with streams of magical seals flowing out from between their fingers, connecting with the talismanic characters that flew out of their mouths. The two strange and mysterious patterns intertwined, swirling upwards, gradually stopping at a height of one hundred zhang. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a nine-story pagoda. The master looked up and spat out a pearl, shining with countless rays of light, flying to the top of the pagoda. As soon as it landed, the pagoda suddenly let out a loud hum, bursting forth with intense, dazzling light. In an instant, the surrounding area within a radius of ten thousand zhang was affected, causing all sorts of magical instruments and treasures to move slowly, like a snail crawling through mud.

  "Fall from Heaven's Tower!"

  "Not bad! The host is quite knowledgeable!"

  "You want a fierce battle?! Very well, I'll show you the true treasure of the Upper Realm!"

  The Lord of the Text did not speak again, pointing his hand at the hundred-foot-high sky banner. The banner rustled and flew over, wanting to take away the Retreat Heaven Symbol Tower! However, its flying speed was slow as a turtle's pace, and it would still take some time to capture this treasure. At this moment, the young Lord commanded the eight repair shadows to drive the blood-colored large net, which had already covered Na Xiang'er underneath.

  "Received!"

  He shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the net suddenly transformed into a beast cage and trapped both Cong'er and Qian'er inside.

  "Chang'er, don't be anxious! Wait for me to break this cage."

  With a loud roar, he exerted all his strength and triggered the killing technique, condensing all his energy into one point and striking the beast cage's railing. However, the railing was as hard as steel and couldn't be shaken at all!

  "Hum! You young whippersnapper, spare your energy! Can a treasure of mine be broken so easily?"

  The young master's eyes showed a fierce glint, but his voice was cold. He didn't hear or ask anything, and just punched the railing with one fist after another.

  "Hmm! Hmm! Cough cough cough......"

  After being beaten for a long time, the young lord suddenly let out a loud cry and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned from pale to a dark greenish hue.

  "Zhi Fei, you first take these two back home!"

  Lord Na looked at his subordinates and felt a chill in his heart, then opened his mouth to instruct.

  "Yes!"

  The young master responded with a single word and then took this beast cage and drove away on the clouds.

  "Where is he going?"

  The Eight Great Mountain Men were enraged, and with a wave of their hands, several precious objects flew out, striking the hidden cultivators. At this time, the middle-aged cultivator returned, thrusting the giant spear once again at the superior being. The superior being was furious to the extreme, and with a swing of his hand, the giant spear was suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to move or fly away.

  "Boom!"

  That middle-aged cultivator was also a ruthless person, and upon seeing the situation, he let out a loud shout, causing his treasured object to explode and open. The person was also severely injured, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. However, this explosion temporarily blocked the eight great Upper Realm experts. Wen Liansheng saw the situation and was overjoyed, immediately loudly shouting:

  "Explode!"

  The hidden cultivators followed the order and acted, and in an instant, within a space of ten thousand feet, the sound of explosions was endless. Even those who had achieved success in their cultivation were left deaf, unable to hear any sounds. This counterattack by the Easy Cultivation Gate resulted in heavy casualties among the cultivators.

  "You thief, you're just a mere fragment of a soul, watch as I annihilate you all!"

  The eight great masters saw the situation and angrily rushed forward, only wanting to rush to the crown! With a loud shout, they charged towards the fierce flames, rushing straight at the leader of the Wen League. At the same time, they secretly launched their flying needle technique, striking the hidden cultivators. The middle-aged cultivator was hit head-on, let out a mournful cry, and his internal elixir was damaged, exploding and dying. Almost simultaneously, several of the hidden cultivators died in succession. Seeing that the path ahead was now open, the eight great masters did not speak, but instead drove their clouds to chase after the fleeing young leader of the Wen League. The leader of the hidden cultivators saw this and revealed a resolute expression, shouting loudly:

  "Kaiten Bakuretsu!"

  The void banner burst into sound. The momentum was fierce, and it was the only thing that had been seen in this world for a long time! At first, there was a flash of firelight in the middle, and then the air around it surged violently, like a huge ring of flames burning fiercely. The flames were like a raging inferno, opening up with a loud roar, engulfing everything in the sky and earth. The eight great masters quickly summoned the Retreat Heaven Symbol Tower to come, collecting all the cultivators who had narrowly escaped death under the tower. Outside the tower, waves of fire rolled in, hot as molten lava, tightly surrounding the Retreat Heaven Symbol Tower! Under the waves of fire, that small island with thousands of holes and cracks was now melting at an invisible speed, disappearing from view! The seawater outside the island evaporated and rose to form a massive cloud of smoke tens of millions of feet in size, enveloping this place.

  As the sky-covering banner exploded and was destroyed, the wisp of divided soul that controlled it also dissipated. At this time, thousands of miles away in a secret cave, a cultivator suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, as if his divine soul had suffered a severe injury!

  "Despicable! Come on, quickly summon Lord Zhiniu!"

  Xu Shu flew out of the secret cave and left.

  The Eight Great Supreme Ones resided in the Retreat Heaven Pagoda, their mouths chanting incantations non-stop, their hands forming hand seals unceasingly, rapidly repairing the damaged parts of the pagoda. It wasn't until half a day later that the fire was finally extinguished. The Eight Great Supreme Ones and the few surviving disciples from the catastrophe looked at each other in shock, still fearful. At this time, out of the several dozen to nearly one hundred cultivators on both sides, only a handful who had been saved by the Supreme One remained, while the rest were all dead. The Supreme One sighed and said:

  "Pass down the order, have the surrounding patrols search along the way and carefully investigate, we must capture that fleeing young lord!"

  "Yes! Elder Gaozong!"

  Everyone looked at the small island below after Fa Yun disappeared, and no one wanted to stay. They all drove their clouds away in a hurry. The eight great masters put away the Retreat Heaven Symbol Tower and stepped on the cloud to move forward, with a hundred flavors mixed in their hearts. After thousands of years of cultivation, the things they had experienced were almost countless, but this time, the enemy's move to explode the world's most precious treasure was indeed rare. That Xiaokong Fan is a famous immortal artifact in the cultivation world, and he actually dared to explode it! This move is extremely rare! If not for having an equally powerful artifact in his own hand, this calamity would be hard to avoid.

  "Could it be that the two disciples of the door are really closely related to the hidden ones?"

  "What's your name?"

  "Return to your ancestors! My disciple Gao Wuyou."

  "Hmm! High Unwilling, you should quickly send the Immortal Token back to the Sect, and inform your Master of the situation here. Order him to seal off this area within a radius of 10,000 miles and pursue Feng Cheng and Fu Junru, the two cultivators."

  "Yes!"
