Chapter 778: Fierce Battle
Standing on the fairy boat, Qin Ziling saw Lei Changfu coming out of Pengzhou Mountain from afar with a complicated expression, showing both surprise and unspeakable worry and anxiety. The Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle under his feet had already "swooshed" and crossed the sky like lightning, and in the blink of an eye it had arrived in front of Lei Changfu.
Lei Changfu couldn't help but be shocked.
He had never seen such a fast flying magic weapon!
I didn't expect Qin Ziling to suddenly accelerate.
"Where are your father, Lei Chen, and Lei Yu? Did something unexpected happen?" Qin Ziling asked.
Lei Changfu came to his senses when he saw Qin Ziling asking questions, and said, "A few months ago, there was news that the Lord of the Netherworld Palace, Youtong, had made a comeback and brought many of his followers to besiege the Jiuxuan Sect. My father took Lei Chen and Lei Yu and rushed there quickly."
"What?" Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, who would not change their expression even if a mountain collapsed, both changed their expressions drastically when they heard this.
When Lei Changfu saw that Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing both lost their composure, his face became even more worried.
Although Lei Changfu is the third son of Lei Yanlong and one of the top masters of the Lei family, he is not liked by Qin Ziling, so he only exists as a peripheral force of Wujimen and knows very little about the affairs of Wujimen.
The relationship between Qin Ziling and Yin Ranyue was unknown to the outside world except for the important disciples of Wuji Sect.
Lei Changfu naturally didn't know either.
But he is Lei Yanlong's son after all, and he is a smart man. Over the years, based on some things, he has been able to guess that there is some relationship between Wujimen and Jiuxuanzong.
This time, when his father heard that the Netherworld Palace had made a comeback and was besieging the Jiuxuan Sect, he was horrified like Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, and then hurriedly left the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land with Lei Chen and Lei Yu.
Before leaving, his father specifically told him to keep an eye on the news from the Jiuxuan Sect. If he heard the news that the Jiuxuan Sect was destroyed, he should immediately take some core descendants and leave the Nanboshan waters as far away as possible and not to worry about them.
Lei Changfu was very scared at the time and asked why, but his father did not tell him. He just sternly told him to do as he said.
This incident also made Lei Changfu more certain that the relationship between Wujimen and Jiuxuanzong was very different.
It is very likely that Wujimen is a secret branch of Jiuxuanzong, which controls the Lei family through Wujimen, and thus extends its tentacles to the Juxian Sea and even the Nanboshan Sea.
Otherwise, the Lei family has two major bases, one is on Xianluo Island in the Juxian Sea, and the other is on the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land in the Nanboshan Sea. Even if the Netherworld Palace attacks the Jiuxuan Sect, why should his father rush there?
Even if the Netherworld Palace eventually conquers the Jiuxuan Sect, what life-and-death relationship does it have with his Lei family?
Both Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect are ruled by Taoist immortals.
Could it be that the Netherworld Palace dared to send its troops to dominate the Juxian Sea Area right after conquering the Jiuxuan Sect, and even sent its troops to attack the Nanboshan Sea Area?
Now Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing are losing their composure again.
So in Lei Changfu's view, there is only one answer.
Wujimen is really a secret branch of Jiuxuanzong. Because of Wujimen, the Lei family will also be involved in the catastrophe of Jiuxuanzong.
"What's the situation over there now?" Qin Ziling quickly calmed down from his loss of composure and asked in a deep voice.
“Reporting to the headmaster, since my father left, we have sent out all the scouts of the Lei family to gather information, and use the method of relaying information to pass the news from Jiuxuan Mountain back to Pengzhou Mountain as quickly as possible.
According to yesterday's news, the Jiuxuan Mountain protection formation is extremely strong, and the Netherworld Palace has not been able to capture Jiuxuan Mountain yet, but the situation is still very critical.
Without reinforcements, the formation will be breached sooner or later, and the Netherworld Palace's troops will march straight in. Without a Taoist immortal to guard the Nine Profound Sect, the sect will surely be destroyed." Lei Changfu replied, while secretly observing the expressions of Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing.
To Lei Changfu's surprise, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing's expressions visibly relaxed.
But soon after, the two men's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a terrifying aura emanated from them, which suddenly suppressed Lei Changfu to the point that he couldn't even breathe. The immortal infant in the immortal palace was trembling, and even the immortal power could not be used.
Lei Changfu's eyes showed an expression of extreme horror.
His father was a seventh-grade True Immortal with powerful immortal power, but even with his explosive aura, compared to the aura inadvertently emitted by the two people in front of him, he was like a witch meeting a witch, and was not worth mentioning.
"Take good care of the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land!" Qin Ziling patted Lei Changfu on the shoulder, and then a beam of fire rolled up.
The fire was faintly in the shape of a fire crow. As it flew rapidly across the sky, cracks appeared in the space around it, as if it was being torn apart.
The moment before, Lei Changfu saw Qin Ziling still in front of the Pengzhou Mountain blessed land, and the next moment, he was already at the edge of the horizon.
It was as if his flight was tearing through space and directly crossing it.
Just like the “small teleportation” talisman made by Taoist immortals.
Lei Changfu's eyes widened and his heart beat violently.
He knew that Qin Ziling must be very powerful.
But after all, he had never actually seen Qin Ziling kill a powerful person, and he only knew that his realm was the same as his, only the fifth-grade True Immortal realm.
So in his opinion, no matter how powerful Qin Ziling is, he is probably only slightly more powerful than his father.
But now, he has completely changed his mind.
Qin Ziling's strength was far beyond his imagination, and even a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
Perhaps, his arrival could help Jiuxuan Sect contend with the Netherworld Palace, dragging the battle between the two sides into a lasting stalemate.
Of course, this is already Lei Changfu’s boldest hope!
After all, the ancestor Youtong of the Netherworld Palace is a Taoist immortal. For Lei Changfu, the Taoist immortal is an existence that he cannot contend with except by sending out Taoist immortals to deal with it.
…
Qin Ziling's current flying is indeed almost continuous performance of "small teleportation".
A moment is a thousand miles away.
Even a Taoist immortal would not be able to sustain such a flying speed.
If a Taoist immortal wants to cross space directly over a long distance, he can usually only use Taoist magic to tear the space apart, construct a channel, and then cross it.
However, this kind of Taoist magic consumes a lot of energy each time it is performed, and the distance covered each time is generally tens of millions of miles. Not only that, unless one is an extremely powerful Taoist immortal, the positioning effect is generally very poor.
The distance is tens of millions of miles, and the error is at least a million miles.
Therefore, even if one is a Taoist immortal, he generally would not easily use Taoist methods to tear space, construct channels, and cross the void.
This method will only be used if the distance is too far and you don't want to waste time traveling.
Qin Ziling is now capable of fighting with the Taoist immortal. His full speed on the road is almost the same as the Taoist immortal's full speed on the road controlling the treasure.
His blood was boiling and burning, and seven immortal infants were spewing immortal power in the immortal palace.
His body flew through the air, and the violent friction ignited the air around him.
The whole person is just like a meteor across the sky.
In just half an hour, a "meteor" streaked across the sky above Juxian Sea.
"Zi Ling, you can't keep traveling like this, otherwise your body will collapse. Besides, after you arrive at Jiuxuan Sect, you will still need to fight, so you can't over-expend yourself." The Fire Dragon advised in the Niwan Palace.
The Yaoye Mountain blessed land sea area, the junction of the Juxian sea area and the Jiuxuan Mountain sea area.
The "Meteor" fire finally went out, revealing Qin Ziling in a green dress.
And Xiao Qing had already been moved into the Qiankun Cave Heaven World by him.
"Don't worry, senior. I know what I'm doing!" Qin Ziling replied calmly, and continued on his way, but his speed slowed down a lot.
He has now reached the realm of an eighth-grade True Immortal, and his comprehension of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao far exceeds that of an eighth-grade True Immortal. He is also an existence that has opened up the channel between heaven, earth, and man. His connection with the Heavenly Dao is many times stronger than before.
He rushed all the way to the Jiuxuan Mountain sea area, and finally he had a very subtle feeling.
That feeling made him feel at ease, knowing that his mother and Ran Yue were safe and sound.
It was also at this moment that Qin Ziling finally understood why Huolong had said before that if he killed Hao Bing, Hao Yuansong would be able to trace it back to him.
Because vaguely, he seemed to have this subtle feeling.
…
Outside Jiuxuan Mountain.
On the bloody throne.
Youtong, who was handsome but had an evil temperament, slowly stood up.
"It's time!"
As You Tong spoke, he reached towards his chest and pulled out a bloody scimitar.
As the bloody scimitar was pulled out, a column of blood shot up into the sky, changing the entire sky and earth, as if the devil was about to descend and slaughter all living things.
This scimitar is another Taoist treasure of Patriarch Youtong, named the Blood-sucking Demonic Knife.
This Blood-sucking Demonic Blade is not as good as the Blood Nether Pearl in terms of grade, and is of the lower level of the Profound Grade.
But the Blood-sucking Demonic Blade is a pure attacking Taoist treasure, unlike the Blood Nether Pearl which is more of a Taoist magic-type Taoist treasure.
Its attack power is very strong. With one strike, it can kill without mercy!
Its nourishment method is also unique. It not only requires the immortal power of the immortal palace to nourish it, but sometimes it also needs to be nourished by the blood of the heart.
"You haven't tasted the blood of a strong man for a long time. Today I will let you drink it!" Youtong gently stroked the bloody and bloodthirsty magic knife, as if he was stroking the body of a beloved.
The magic knife hummed, and a demon head with fangs, a bit like a bat, appeared on the blade.
"kill!"
Youtong soared into the sky and with a loud shout, the bloodthirsty magic knife in his hand broke through the air, hanging high in the sky, and slashed down fiercely at the light curtain of the sky formed by the Nine Profound and Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formations.
Suddenly, an extremely huge blood knife split the void, as if a big hole had been opened in the sky, and a river of blood rushed down.
The sky is bloody, the sword energy is sharp, and the wind is blowing violently.
Under the huge blood sword, the light sky seemed to shrink in an instant.
"Bloodthirsty Demonic Blade!"
At Xuandu Peak, the two supreme elders looked up at the sky.
There was no fear in his eyes, only calmness.
"It's my turn to go!" said a supreme elder calmly.
"Uncle Master, please go first. I will come to find you later!" said another supreme elder.
"Okay!" The supreme elder who was called uncle master simply replied.
Before he finished speaking, the clothes of the Grand Elder moved without wind, and his skin, which had been dry and wrinkled like old tree bark, suddenly became plump, appearing smooth and rosy.
An extremely powerful aura emanated from the Grand Elder.
The body of the Grand Elder continued to grow larger.
Wisps of blood escaped from his pores.
"Uncle Master!"
Yue Huai cried out in grief.
The Xuantian Mirror hanging above his head emitted a ray of light that fell on the Grand Elder.
The blood and energy continued to flow into the Xuantian Mirror along the light.
More and more blood and energy escaped from my uncle's body, and soon his swollen body shriveled up, leaving only skin and bones.
"Uncle Master!"
"Don't be sad. If you don't leave now, you will have to leave in a few years!"
The uncle-master glanced at Yue Huai, and a ray of light shot out from the top of his head, revealing a powerful immortal infant.
The immortal infant leaped into the river of light that shot out from the Xuantian Mirror, and merged into the Xuantian Mirror along with the blood and energy.
"Master uncle, have a safe journey!" Another supreme elder stretched out his hand and stroked Master uncle's eyes calmly.
The uncle's eyes were closed and he was no longer breathing.
The Xuantian Mirror integrated the master's blood and life-long skills, and suddenly it shone brightly.
An extremely dazzling light suddenly shot up into the sky, breaking through the bloody evil clouds that were pressing down overhead.
The light transformed into a man as tall as a mountain, holding a huge sword. He was none other than the uncle who had just died.
Xuantian Mirror is a very mysterious Taoist treasure.
It can transform the immortals who willingly throw themselves into the mirror and sacrifice themselves to it into a powerful attack.
After death, everything returns to heaven.
The mysterious Taoist method of Xuantian Mirror is a bit like the transformation of the way of heaven. Moreover, Xuantian Mirror was born in Jiuxuan Mountain and can govern the Jiuxuan Mountains. This method can only be performed on Jiuxuan Mountain, hence the name Xuantian Mirror.
The person who holds the Xuantian Mirror has always been the leader of the Jiuxuan Sect.
"Grand Elder!"
"Master uncle!"
"Ancestor!"
Seeing the mountain-like man holding a giant sword and stepping on the void, Jiuxuan Mountain was filled with grief. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down their faces.
"kill!"
A sound like thunder rang out in the sky and echoed throughout the universe.
The man held a huge sword and slashed at the bloodthirsty demonic knife that was splitting the void and falling.
“Bang!”
There was no sound of metal clashing as imagined, but instead a horrifying sound of gas explosion.
A dazzling white light mixed with blood suddenly exploded in the air.
The terrifying air waves rushed in all directions, the wind was blowing violently, the mountains were swaying, and the evil clouds were rolling.
The dazzling light disappeared.
The man with the huge sword disappeared.
The bloodthirsty devil knife fell back into the hands of the old ancestor Youtong.
Ancestor Youtong's body shook for a while, then he stood firm again. Then a trace of blood rushed to his face, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The bloodthirsty devil knife showed its fangs and opened its mouth to swallow the blood.
This sword is extremely ferocious and will not fight without blood.
"One is gone. This old ancestor wants to see if you have any ninth-grade true immortals left in the Jiuxuan Sect who can be sacrificed! It's just a pity to waste such a good body of blood!"
Ancestor Youtong wiped the corner of his mouth, paused for a moment, and the bloodthirsty magic knife in his hand broke through the air again.
The sky was torn apart again, and a river of blood fell down. Blood rain flew and landed on the light curtain, like countless hailstones falling, causing the light curtain to shake.
But those were just drops of blood splashing out of the river of blood.
It is hard to imagine whether the light curtain will still exist once this river of blood rushes down!
"It's my turn!"
Xuandu Peak.
The remaining supreme elder slowly stood up.
Just at this moment.
The entire Xuanting Peak was filled with thunder and lightning, and all the thunder and lightning gathered at the top of the mountain. Then, an incomparably dazzling purple electric dragon shot up into the sky.
Between the two horns of the purple electric dragon's head stood a woman in purple clothes, it was Yin Ranyue.
The woman held a purple scepter in her hand and faced the rushing river of blood with a calm and resolute look on her face.
Thunder and lightning surrounded her, and even her hair was flashing with lightning. She was indescribably majestic, as if the Mother of Lightning had descended to the earth.
The expression of the supreme elder who was preparing to offer sacrifice suddenly changed, and Yue Huai's expression also changed.
The peak masters and supreme elders in charge of the other Xuan Peaks also changed their expressions.
The Jiuxuan Sect has suffered such a great disaster, and Yin Ranyue is the one who holds their hopes and must not let him die.
"kill!"
The purple electric dragon broke through the void, Yin Ranyue raised the Purple Thunder Staff and swung it fiercely towards the blood river.
When Yin Ranyue swung the Purple Thunder Staff directly towards the blood river, the blood-red sky was suddenly torn apart.
A purple lightning with purple flames struck down from the crack.
Purple flames fell, and the blood-colored evil clouds and black evil clouds were ignited at once when they touched the purple flames, and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Outside the formation, above the blood cloud, everyone in the Netherworld Palace suddenly frowned, and some even held their heads with their hands, looking painful.
Even the old ancestor Youtong frowned slightly, with a hint of shock in his eyes, which soon turned into a strong murderous intent.
"I never thought that after so many years, Jiuxuan Sect would have another disciple who could summon the Purple Palace Divine Thunder! But she is much more powerful than Lei Zhu back then.
Lei Zhu has to become a Taoist Immortal to perform this thunder method, but she is only an eighth-grade True Immortal and can perform it! Fortunately, the power is still very weak, otherwise, with my current state, I am afraid I will have to avoid its edge! "
“Purple Mansion Divine Thunder! It’s Purple Mansion Divine Thunder! Yin Ranyue can actually use Purple Mansion Divine Thunder!”
In Jiuxuan Mountain, the knowledgeable peak masters and supreme elders were all extremely excited.
“Boom!”
Yin Ranyue's Purple Sky Thunder Staff and the Purple Palace Divine Thunder that fell from the sky hit the blood river almost at the same time.
The air was filled with blood and the electric light was blazing, not dissipating for a long time.
Amid the interweaving of blood and lightning, a figure fell rapidly.
A flash of lightning lit up, supporting the rapidly falling Yinran Moon.
"puff!"
Yinran Yue fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth.
His hair used to be black, but now it has turned all white.
The originally smooth skin was now covered with burn scars, with bright red flashes of electricity shining through each scar.
With her level of cultivation, she is unable to withstand the power of thunder and lightning accumulated in Xuanting Peak over such a long period of time.
With her level of cultivation, even though she had observed Qin Ziling's tribulation of immortality from close range and had caught a glimpse of the secret of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder, she also learned the Taoist tradition of the Taoist Lei Zhu in the Little Thunder Cave a few years ago and already knew the secret technique of summoning the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder.
But the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder is a divine thunder tribulation. It is not only extremely hard and masculine, but also extremely powerful and mysterious. The backlash force of this secret technique exceeds her current ability to withstand.
The Purple Thunder Staff in her hand also began to crack, and electric light continued to leak out.
With this strike, Yin Ranyue repelled the powerful sword attack from Ancestor Youtong, but at the same time she was also seriously injured, and even her vitality and lifespan were greatly damaged.
If she didn't have the physique of a thunder spirit root, and wasn't less than two hundred years old, with nearly ten thousand years of life left, and had strong resources, she would probably have died in this one blow.
"Peak Master!"
"Ran Yue!"
Everyone gathered around her, and Cui Yun even held Yin Ranyue in his arms with tears in his eyes.
"Mom, I regret it so much. I should have let you follow the young master!" Yin Ranyue burst into tears as she felt Cui Yun's warm embrace.
"Silly child, it's mother who wants to stay with you. This is none of your business, it's none of your business. Moreover, mother also knows that Ziling is worried about my safety and thinks it's safer to stay with you. But who could have expected that the Netherworld would attack the Jiuxuan Sect!" Cui Yun said.
"I wonder how the young master is doing now? I really want to see him again!" Yin Ranyue said.
Cui Yun shed tears silently.
In the distance, Qin Ziling also silently clenched his fists, his eyes filled with extremely cold murderous intent.
Just now, he happened to see from afar the tragic scene of Yin Ranyue risking his own life to block the fierce attack from Old Ancestor Youtong.
I also saw her figure falling rapidly.
His heart was gripped with grief at that moment. If the fire dragon had not stopped him, he would have rushed forward regardless of everything.
Now he has calmed down.
