Chapter 181: Once the Golden Flood Dragon Shears appear, even a Perfected Immortal Deity cannot escape being severed in two
"Ding!"
Detected True Person of Jade Cauldron sneaking onto Three Immortals Island, intending to capture Yang Jian, triggering event options; please host make a choice.
Option One: Ignore this, let Yang Jian be taken away!
Option Two: Intervene, reward: Three-pointed Double-edged Blade!
Sitting at the stone table, having tea and chatting with Yang Chan, the system sounded.
After looking at the prompt on the panel, Gu Xiu fell into contemplation.
Isn't this Yang Jian's weapon?
Yang Jian has not yet become an immortal, and True Person of Jade Cauldron is not a Giant Spirit God; relying solely on Yang Jian's heavenly eye makes it hard to repel.
"System, I choose option two."
"Ding!"
Selection successful, mission limited to one hour; please host quickly assist the disciple!
One hour is enough.
Seeing Gu Xiu suddenly rise, Yang Chan wondered and also stood up.
"Immortal Master, do you have something to attend to?"
Gu Xiu nodded: "People of the Chan Sect covet Yang Jian's talent, wanting him to substitute for the calamity; daring to move my disciple, their path is narrowed."
"What, second elder brother is in danger?" Upon hearing this, Yang Chan also became anxious.
Seeing Gu Xiu go over, after thinking, she also followed.
……
On the way Gu Xiu rushed over.
Yang Jian launched an attack on True Person of Jade Cauldron.
True Person of Jade Cauldron originally thought Yang Jian had not trained long, paid no heed, but upon seeing the technique Yang Jian used, was stunned: "Nine Turns Mysterious Skill?"
Now True Person finally understood why the Chan Sect chose Yang Jian as its Dharma Protector.
In the past, disciples of the Three Teachings could only learn some techniques and arts from the Nine Turns Mysterious Skill; hardly anyone had entered the door, but seeing Yang Jian, he is already about to enter.
True Person of Jade Cauldron's face showed great joy.
"Yang Jian, this disciple of mine I will have! Finally I understand why the Master values you so much, even not hesitating—" He stopped speaking at this point.
In order to select the Chan Sect's Dharma Protector, they set up Yao Ji, letting her bear Yang Jian with a mortal; such matters should not be known to outsiders, especially Yang Jian.
Seeing True Person of Jade Cauldron speak halfway, Yang Jian interjected: "Yang Jian, the Master has always been only one person: the Jie Sect immortal Gu Xiu."
"Yang Jian, I won't waste words with you." Seeing Yang Jian wholeheartedly toward the Jie Sect, True Person of Jade Cauldron no longer wasted words.
Knowing that if conflict erupted, the Three Skies would certainly come, wanting to forcibly take Yang Jian; but Yang Jian's heavenly eye burst forth with great power, and True Person of Jade Cauldron, upon seeing it, dared not meet it head-on, choosing to avoid its sharpness.
Boom—
The heavenly eye struck a mountain, shards flying, echoing heaven and earth.
At the same time Gu Xiu also arrived, seeing Yang Jian unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the heavenly eye is truly powerful; even True Person of Jade Cauldron dares not meet it head-on.
No wonder in the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian, a third-generation disciple, relying on the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill and heavenly eye could hang and beat True Person Yellow Dragon.
"True Person of Jade Cauldron, your Chan Sect is utterly disgusting, specializing in such petty theft; I, a Jie Sect immortal, will cleanse your scourge for the Chan Sect, believing the Jade Clear Sage will also be grateful to us." Gu Xiu said slowly.
"Master." Seeing Gu Xiu approach, Yang Jian felt much relieved.
True Person of Jade Cauldron frowned tightly; Gu Xiu's arrival, his plan to take Yang Jian, likely won't work.
You ruined my good deed and dare to come alone; I don't know whether to call you brave or foolish. Now I sever the master-disciple bond with Yang Jian; I can let you go.
True Person of Jade Cauldron's gaze was fierce, completely not putting Gu Xiu in his eyes.
But when seeing Gu Xiu seated cross-legged on a black lotus pedestal, he was slightly startled.
"World-Ending Black Lotus? I didn't expect the long-lost World-Ending Black Lotus to appear here."
I was very curious about Gu Xiu's identity; as a Jie Sect third-generation disciple, he actually possesses a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, making his Immortal-Slaying Sword seem less fragrant.
But True Person of Jade Cauldron still wants to save face, and will not say that the treasure is fated with me.
Seeing True Person of Jade Cauldron's astonished expression, Gu Xiu was very pleased; this is exactly the effect he wanted.
Twelve-Grade World-Ending Black Lotus, Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, defense unparalleled; seated on the lotus pedestal, nothing can break it.
Even if his cultivation is inferior to the opponent's, Gu Xiu is not timid.
"True Person of Jade Cauldron, your tone is grand; let me, a Jie Sect third-generation disciple, learn how formidable you are."
Gu Xiu stood on the black lotus, commanding it to fly, his eyes shooting forth streams of divine light.
True Person of Jade Cauldron continually dodged, coldly saying: "I'll just see how long your heavenly eye can keep shooting."
But upon seeing Gu Xiu's bursting divine light, with no sign of stopping, he was greatly puzzled at how Gu Xiu could sustain it so long.
Although his immortal body is robust, he cannot withstand Gu Xiu's continuous outpouring of divine light.
As the fight continued, he was the one losing; feeling the Three Skies approaching, he wanted to flee.
Bi Xiao, who had rushed over, looked and said: "My Three Immortals Island—how could it be a place you say you'll come and go as you please?"
She brandished the Golden Flood Dragon Shears; in an instant, like two flood dragons baring teeth and claws, they surged straight toward True Person of Jade Cauldron.
True Person of Jade Cauldron saw it, his face drastically changed; the Golden Flood Dragon Shears are exceedingly dangerous, to the extent that even a Perfected Immortal Deity would find it hard to escape being severed in two; he thought of fleeing.
But his waist was still grazed, immortal blood spattering, as if something had fallen from his body.
Gu Xiu fixed his gaze and saw—it was actually an immortal root!
An immortal root is akin to an immortal's kidney; once severed, it takes a long time to repair.
Although someone like True Person of Jade Cauldron has more than one immortal root inside, losing one is still a major blow to vital energy.
He swallowed his saliva.
The Gold Flood Dragon Shears lived up to their reputation; seeing them, Ran Deng and Lu Ya could only flee, fortunately they weren't used to cut him.
Ding!
Successfully blocked Yuanzhen True Person from taking Yang Jian, mission completed, congratulations host for obtaining the Three-pointed Two-edged Blade!
The system's voice brought Gu Xiu back to his senses, and he looked toward Yang Jian.
Yang Jian, are you alright?
Master, I'm fine, just let Yuanzhen True Person get away.
Yuanzhen True Person is one of the twelve foremost immortals of Jade Void, not an empty reputation; it's not easy to keep him, you did well today, this weapon is yours.
Gu Xiu took out the Three-pointed Two-edged Blade and tossed it to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian held it in his hand, his eyes full of affection; in a vague sense, he felt the weapon had been tailor-made for him.
Thank you, Master.
The Three Xias came forward.
Bi Xiao beamed with joy, giving the Jie Sect another reason to hold its head high.
This time we gave Yuanzhen True Person a lesson; I doubt he'll dare come again.
Qiong Xiao also rarely showed a smile: "Indeed, we can now rest easy for a while."
Being wounded by the Gold Flood Dragon Shears and having an immortal root cut off is no minor injury.
I estimate Yuanzhen True Person is hiding somewhere to heal his wounds.
At this moment, Yang Chan came running anxiously.
Immortal Master, are Second Brother and the others alright?
Yang Jian shook his head: "Third Sister, I'm fine."
Gu Xiu also smiled: "We're fine; having repelled Yuanzhen True Person, we won't need to worry about the Chan Sect's harassment for a while."
Yun Xiao looked at Gu Xiu; she had indeed just seen him produce the Twelve-rank World-ending Black Lotus.
She couldn't understand when her disciple had become so wealthy.
The three sisters only possess one Primordial Golden Dipper as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
The Gold Flood Dragon Shears are a Dharma treasure forged postnatally.
Although she was doubtful, everyone has secrets, so she didn't press further.
Gu Xiu, don't act so recklessly from now on; wait until your master and your master's uncle arrive before taking action.
Gu Xiu smiled; if not for the Twelve-rank World-ending Black Lotus protecting him—a Dharma treasure even saints covet—and if not for being on Three Immortals Island, he would not have acted rashly, but he still put on the guise of an obedient disciple.
Master, rest assured, I'll remember next time.
……
At the same time.
In the East Sea, inside a cave.
Yuanzhen True Person looked at the wound on his waist, his face pallid.
Damn it, something went wrong with the matter entrusted by the Master; it seems I can only return to Kunlun Mountain to apologize to the Master.
