Chapter 372: Sun Golden Rope, Authority of the Zhengyi Alliance_2
At this moment, Shi Yingqiong stood there, hand without sword, body without sword, yet her fearsome Sword Intent pierced the heavens, impossible for anyone to ignore.
Especially someone with a similar demeanor like Shen Ruolan, whose gaze had been completely captivated by her at some unknown time.
In her eyes, there was both the intent to fight and affection.
She even blurted out without regard for the bystanders:
"This sister, such fierce Sword Intent, given this extraordinary demeanor, you must be Daoist Shi Yingqiong from the Shaoqing Sect."
"Once this affair concludes and if I'm not dead, I shall have a hearty battle with sister. After the fight, if sister doesn't mind, we can become sworn sisters."
Hearing these words, Shi Yingqiong, who was always serious, couldn't help but smile.
She nodded with equal straightforwardness, responding:
"You must be Sister Ruolan that Brother Fei Peng mentioned. I've come on behalf of Brother Yuu, also to see the heroine who cultivated the 'Yue Girl Demon Slaying Scripture' that has emerged from the Ancestor Dragon Society. I specifically came to see for myself."
"Now that I have seen, your reputation is well-deserved. After this affair, we shall fight, and afterward, you will be my good sister Shi Yingqiong."
Having said that, she then turned to Zhong Ziyang, Chen Xiyi, and others.
With a solemn expression and quite formally, she said:
"Daoist friends of the Ancestor Dragon Society, my visit this time represents not the Shaoqing Sect, but the National Salvation Congress."
"We have already announced nationwide, the National Salvation Congress will form an alliance with the Ancestor Dragon Society."
"You've had some internal strife within your society. Fei Peng has informed me."
"No matter, it might even be for the better. People like Ying Qingdi, Yin Susu, and Xu Wenkai, with their greedy and ambitious offspring of Evil Gods, they don't deserve to ally with our National Salvation Congress. But your noble character and aspiration to save the world are similar to our members of the National Salvation Congress. It is appropriate to form an alliance."
"You are currently purging your ranks. Ying Qiong will not say much. If you need assistance, merely speak the word."
"Right, these friends here come from the [Divine Ear Sect], [Ten Thousand Miles Sect], [Ting Di Sect]... practicing different paths from ours. They are like reporters from our Cultivation World, having heard of the major changes here and coming from all directions to witness the events."
"I encountered them on the way here, and thus they accompanied me. They need not be given special attention, these few have their means of self-preservation."
After she finished speaking, Shi Yingqiong pointed to the five cultivators behind her, whose appearances and attire were all quite eccentric.
She then truly stood aside and said no more.
However, by the anxious look in her eyes as she kept glancing at the ongoing fierce fight between the man and the ape, it was clear she was waiting for an opportunity.
As long as Tao Qian and others gave the word, this "Shaoqing Witch" would immediately join the battle.
Unfortunately, no one did.
Zhong Ziyang, Chen Xiyi, and the others could tell that Shi Yingqiong's combat strength was much stronger than Shen Ruolan's, but definitely not a match for the four—Zhong Ziyang, Lin Runiu, Chen Xiyi, Qi Daozhen.
Even if she joined the fight, it would change nothing.
Despite the Golden Ape from Fangcun Mountain being peerless in killing, fighting Ying Qingdi until the heavens and the earth changed color.
Yet Tao Qian and others, along with Mei Su of the Taishang True Inheritance, all had a keen eye.
They soon arrived at a judgment: Sun Xiaosheng, the Golden Ape, could not get the upper hand over Ying Qingdi.
Being the elder brother of Zhong Ziyang, Mei Su even conveyed directly:
"Brother Xiyi, send a message to your disciple. Set aside his pride for now and join us in killing this enemy."
"This brute is an offspring of the Evil God and can continuously draw upon the Evil God's power. Your disciple will eventually exhaust his strength... It's not a time for competing. If we cannot break through his defenses, allowing them to set up their restrictions to delay the return of our friends from Beichan and Xuan Dao Sects, our small victory is nothing but an illusion."
"And I have an ominous feeling; since this brute has the [Yellow Heaven Evil Mirror], should he wish, he could unleash more fierce Divine Skills. Why does he continue to engage in close combat with Brother Golden Ape? There must be some trickery behind his actions not adhering to logic."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ziyang immediately communicated the tale of the Yellow Robe bestowing Divine Skills almost costing the Ten Talents.
Hearing this, Mei Su shook his head again, his expression growing even more solemn as he communicated:
"The Yellow Robed Divine Skill is indeed powerful, but not the most powerful."
"I'm planning to experience the Ultimate Happiness and am thus planning for adventures in the Outer Realm, so I'm aware of the fierceness of those 'Outer Realm Yellow Robes'."
"If this brute is a progeny of the Yellow Robe, having inherited the Evil Mirror, he must be able to unleash even more formidable techniques..."
"Do not delay!"
"Kill!"
Currently, Mei Su had the strongest cultivation and the broadest knowledge on the surface.
Thus, when this black-robed Daoist finished speaking, everyone chose to listen.
Originally, the Golden Ape called "Sun Xiaosheng" was enjoying the fight and didn't want others to interfere, much less join hands in a combined attack.
But he held great respect for his senior brother Chen Xiyi, and upon his persuasion, he agreed.
The next moment, everyone suddenly saw that the Ancestor Dragon Society's Ten Talents, together with Taishang True Inheritor Mei Su Daoist, simultaneously made their move to besiege Ying Qingdi.
In an instant!
The area, already a chaotic storm, became even more tumultuous, like a pot of mush.
People could only see rainbow lights tumbling, sword light piercing the heavens, and Divine Weapons flying all across... The most eye-catching, of course, was Mei Su, showing his combat power for the first time.
Tao Qian and his nine companions were already close to exhaustion, with not a few seriously injured.
The Fangcun Mountain Golden Ape had already shown its prowess and was no longer considered rare.
On the contrary, it was this donkey-riding Daoist who, in a blink, revealed the disturbing depth of Taishang Dao's power.
First, he untied the belt around his waist and commanded, "Go."
That belt, inflated by the wind, turned into a hundred-mile-long, rainbow-light Flashing rope. It circled the Evil Lake, passed through the Divine Light, and tightly bound Ying Qingdi, along with his Blood Flesh Yellow Robe.
Next, he patted the black donkey underneath him and, after it brayed three times, it spat out a dozen or so pitch-black Treasure Beads.
Mei Su pointed a finger, and the beads flew out one by one, all smashing onto Ying Qingdi's body.
"Immobilize, immobilize, immobilize!"
Accompanied by Mei Su's spell, Ying Qingdi's movements indeed stiffened.
At the same time, the Taiji Demon-suppressing Immortal Sword, which was originally in the Golden Ape's hands, suddenly broke free and flew into Mei Su's hand.
The Daoist wasted no time, brandishing the sword to behead the Green Emperor.
The event unfolded too quickly for anyone to react.
Few could expect that this inconspicuous, black-robed, donkey-riding Daoist would strike without a hint of flamboyance, yet his lethal power was even more terrifying than that of the Fangcun Golden Ape.
"What a formidable Taishang True Inheritance!"
Shi Yingqiong exclaimed with admiration.
Behind her, one of the five strange cultivators, clad in colorful garments, holding a colorful banner, wearing Mang Shoes, and sporting a pair of long ears that stood up like a rabbit's, suddenly revealed:
"Taishang Dao disciple Mei Su's Immortal Rope is called the 'Sun Golden Rope,' made from the essence of Sun Star Power melted into gold threads. Despite its dark appearance, it is first-rate in binding others. Moreover, once bound, the person will immediately suffer the torment of Sun Star Fire burning their soul, with stiffness being the least of worries. If bound for long, they will undoubtedly perish."
"And those black donkey balls are 'immobilization Pearls,' each of which requires the Immortal Donkey to nurture for months to be used effectively, capable of an immobilization spell."
"The Taiji Demon-suppressing Immortal Sword doesn't unleash much power in the hands of the Fangcun Golden Ape, but in Mei Su's hands, it's different."
"If Ying Qingdi cannot break free, he is sure to be injured this time."
"Only injured? He won't die?"
Shi Yingqiong had just raised her question when the other strange cultivators, in remarkable unison, took turns to respond.
"How easy could it be to kill an evil god's offspring devoid of humanity?"
"Even in our Ting Di Sect, there aren't many methods guaranteed to kill an Evil God's offspring, especially the favored ones. Even a drop of blood or a piece of flesh left can be resurrected by the Evil God."
"The best way is to drive them away, which can be achieved once the Beichan Temple and Xuan Dao Sect people arrive."
...
As they conversed, the result of the assault on the other side had yet to manifest.
Ying Qingdi, sensing the crisis, decisively called for a large number of cultivators contaminated by his "Yellow Robed Summoning Slave Spell" from the Ancestor Dragon Society to aid him.
In an instant, as the Blood Flesh Yellow Robe lifted, including powerful Cavernous Mystery cultivators like Pei Hong and Linghu Ying, hundreds of cultivators burst forth.
Disregarding life and death!
Regardless of the cost!
Among them, there were truly benevolent heroes, such as the couple Duan Qiu.
But now, they had all become puppet servants, revering Ying Qingdi as a deity, swearing to protect his life, even resorting to self-destructive Secret Techniques if necessary.
This sight instantly caused Tao Qian, Lin Bujue, Zhong Ziyang, and the others to stare agape with disbelief.
However, when caught in Mei Su's Taiqing Dharma Eye, they only heard him snort coldly and say,
"Evil demons and heretics!"
"Watch my Taishang Dao Great Method... the Zhengyi Alliance Power Talisman."
