Chapter 52: White Lotus Karma Fire
Zhang Yutong felt humiliated that the Ice Shield she had condensed with her divine ability couldn’t even block the common Tier 1 ice spell, Ice Spike Technique, and that she had to rely on her younger brother to come to her rescue!
She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Precisely because of that—
Seeing those three Porcelain Jars flying mid-air infuriated Zhang Yutong!
So she waved her hand, forming a crescent-shaped Ice Blade, and slashed horizontally at the three Porcelain Jars!
“Boom——”
At the very moment the Ice Blade shattered the jars, three yellow-white flames suddenly burst into explosive combustion!
In an instant!
The flames rapidly merged into a sheet of fire, raining down directly on Zhang Yutong and Zhang Yueyang, the Zhang siblings!
“Careful!”
Alarmed by the unfolding scene, Zhang Yutong quickly summoned an Ice Shield in an attempt to protect herself and Zhang Yueyang.
But the Ice Shield needed time to extend. She managed to shield herself, but hadn’t yet covered Zhang Yueyang.
Most of the yellow-white flames had already fallen on Zhang Yueyang!
“Ah——”
Hearing Zhang Yueyang’s painful scream, Zhang Yutong grew both anxious and furious!
She had never imagined someone would hide a concealed weapon within Ice Spike Technique to ambush others!
Is this how spells are supposed to be used?
“Despicable!”
Zhang Yutong cursed through gritted teeth, waving her hand to summon a Water Column toward Zhang Yueyang, hoping to douse the flames.
But to Zhang Yutong’s surprise—
The Water Column she summoned couldn’t extinguish the bright yellow flames!
Even when she fully enveloped the strange flames in water, the yellow-white flames continued to burn underwater!
At that moment—
Xu Zhengyang shouted loudly to Zhang Yutong, and also to the leading elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect standing outside the Absolute Shadow Wall, “My White Lotus Karma Fire can’t be doused by water or smothered by earth. If you don’t want this young Daoist Zhang to be severely burned, then hurry and use the Yang Pearl to extract him from the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land and treat him properly!”
The truth was right before their eyes.
Even submerged in water, the White Lotus Karma Fire Xu Zhengyang spoke of still burned fiercely, continuously corroding Zhang Yueyang’s flesh and blood.
Zhang Yueyang’s screams were growing weaker by the second.
Finally—
Zhang Yueyang of the Heavenly Profound Sect became the first core disciple to be extracted from the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land by the Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearl.
...
Watching Zhang Yueyang being taken out of the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land for treatment, Zhang Yutong felt both guilt-ridden and heartbroken.
In the next instant—
Killing intent surged in Zhang Yutong’s eyes as she locked onto Xu Zhengyang and said coldly, “You harmed my little brother—then pay with your life!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Faced with Zhang Yutong’s threat, Xu Zhengyang laughed out loud without the slightest concern, saying, “My head is right here—come and take it if you dare!”
As he finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang was just about to strike.
Suddenly!
A piercing Sword Qi erupted without warning. Its force was so overwhelming that even though Xu Zhengyang was over a hundred zhang away, he still felt a strange sense of dread!
“！”
Xu Zhengyang, Yang Hong, and Zhang Yutong all sensed the threat of the Sword Qi and simultaneously turned their heads to look!
In another part of Green Peak Gorge.
Despite Tian Xiyue's Thunder Spell being overbearing—
In the sword box of Ye Mingyu from the Azure Peak Sword Sect, there was a purple bronze flying sword!
Although this sword was not sharp enough, it could attract lightning!
It was precisely because of this—
That this purple bronze flying sword restrained Tian Xiyue's Thunder Spell.
Ye Mingyu activated his three flying swords to form a Three Talents Formation, continuously compressing the space for Tian Xiyue to maneuver.
Just now—
When Ye Mingyu used the Three Talents Sword Formation to push Tian Xiyue into a corner of Green Peak Gorge, completely cutting off all her maneuvering space!
Ye Mingyu slapped his sword box, and a rust-covered ancient sword suddenly shot out from it!
That earth-shaking and fierce sword qi which Xu Zhengyang and the other two had just sensed was unmistakably emitted by this very sword!
“Good sword!”
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, Tian Xiyue was instantly retrieved from Sunset Cloud Blessed Land by Xiao Yueling using the Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearl.
At this moment—
Seeing that the situation in Green Peak Gorge had shifted once again, Yang Hong immediately stepped between Xu Zhengyang and Zhang Yutong.
Then he said, “Senior Brother Xu. That tigress from the Heavenly Profound Sect will be handled by me! You go take care of that sword cultivator from the Azure Peak Sword Sect!”
“All right.”
Xu Zhengyang made no pretense upon hearing this and walked straight toward Ye Mingyu.
“Tigress?”
Upon hearing Yang Hong's words, Zhang Yutong laughed in rage, “Fine, fine, fine, you deserve to die even more than your scoundrel of a senior brother!”
As she spoke—
Zhang Yutong waved her delicate hand and attacked Yang Hong on the spot!
……
At the same time, in front of the Absolute Shadow Wall on Celestial Mechanism Peak.
Seeing Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong rush out of the Mist Shadow Thousand Kill Formation first, and with the once-in-a-millennium Bodhi Fruit seemingly already within their grasp—
Even Pei Zhen—
Could not help but get excited at this moment!
Immediately after—
When Pei Zhen heard Yang Hong say he was willing to give up the Bodhi Fruit, the smile on his face deepened, and he mocked Chen Qiang, “Nephew Yang's magnanimity far surpasses yours. His future accomplishments will surely outshine yours.”
Chen Qiang, hearing this, found it awkward whether to respond or not, so he snorted coldly and said with a sidelong glance, “What business is it of yours?”
As the two spoke—
Although Ye Mingyu of the Azure Peak Sword Sect had also exited the Mist Shadow Thousand Kill Formation—
With Yang Hong helping to block—
The Bodhi Fruit would surely fall into Xu Zhengyang's hands!
Just as Pei Zhen thought the outcome was certain and bantered happily with Chen Qiang—
Suddenly!
The Mist Shadow Thousand Kill Formation was directly shattered by Tian Xiyue, who was furious beyond measure, using a Breaking Formation Pearl!
Such a drastic change—
Caused an uproar before the Absolute Shadow Wall!
At the same time—
Chen Xingyu, the Black Iron Sword Master of the Azure Peak Sword Sect, immediately stepped before Master Xuan Yin.
Although Chen Xingyu’s cultivation was one major realm below that of Master Xuan Yin, he stood unflinching as he questioned:
“Our three sects agreed to each set one restriction and use formations to test our disciples, determining the final ownership of the Bodhi Fruit. On what grounds did your sect’s Disciple Tian enter with a Tier 3 Breaking Formation Pearl?”
After Chen Xingyu spoke—
Zhang Youwei, the leading elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect, also stepped up behind him.
Zhang Youwei took out two Yin-Yang World-Breaking Pearls, fiddling with them in his hand while speaking mockingly to Master Xuan Yin:
“If Master Xuan Yin does not wish to let outsiders take the Bodhi Fruit— We juniors naturally dare not defy the decree of a Golden Core True Person. It would be better to directly summon the disciples back with the Yang Pearl. Lest our two nephews and niece clash with your sect’s disciples, disturbing the harmony among our three sects.”
With all eyes watching, seeing his disciple commit such a disgraceful act, Master Xuan Yin’s expression turned ashen.
But before Master Xuan Yin could speak—
Xiao Yueling smugly stepped forward and said to Chen Xingyu and Zhang Youwei, “There’s nothing in the rules that says…”
Before Xiao Yueling could finish her sentence—
Master Xuan Yin waved his sleeve grandly, and a seven-story glazed pagoda flew out, expanding in the wind, and directly captured Xiao Yueling within!
After completing this—
Master Xuan Yin retracted the glazed pagoda into his sleeve, cupped his hands toward Chen Xingyu and Zhang Youwei, and sighed, “It was my lax discipline that has brought shame upon myself in front of you two fellow Daoists. Since things have come to this— Resetting the formations is meaningless. It’s better to let things proceed naturally and allow the juniors to comprehend their own cause and effect within When all is settled— I shall personally pen a letter to the heads of your sects to give you a proper explanation.”
