Chapter 62

"My life is over!"

Just as Hong Jin thought he was about to be blasted to death by Dao Xing Tianzun.

A thick wave of immortal power struck and collided with Dao Xing Tianzun's attack.

Only a loud "Boom" was heard, and the powerful shockwave generated by the collision spread in all directions, stirring up massive waves that filled the sky.

Hong Jin stared blankly at this scene, unable to believe it, and muttered to himself.

"I actually survived?"

Just then, two figures landed beside him like meteors.

Hong Jin was slightly stunned. When he saw clearly that the people who arrived were Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao, a surge of wild joy at having survived a disaster instantly welled up on his face.

"Greetings, Senior Brother, Senior Aunt." Hong Jin hurriedly bowed and saluted, his voice choked with emotion.

"Junior Brother, go to the side. You cannot participate in a battle of this level."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Hong Jin did not act coy. He immediately arched his hands and rode the whale-dragon away from the area, not wanting to be a burden here.

"Ding!"

"Mission to save Hong Jin complete. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 50,000 Great Dao merit!"

With the mission complete and the Heavenly Dao merit reward obtained, Gu Xiu felt very pleased.

Seeing his attack blocked, Dao Xing Tianzun's eyes darkened, his gaze full of gloom.

He looked at Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao, feeling that Bi Xiao looked somewhat familiar, and said in a low voice: "Are you from the Jie Sect?"

Gu Xiu stood tall, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

"Our identity as Jie Sect immortals is genuine and beyond doubt," Gu Xiu said indifferently.

Chan Sect disciples were accustomed to being arrogant and looking down on others; Dao Xing Tianzun did not restrain himself at all because of the arrival of Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao.

"I originally intended to kill Hong Jin and then find trouble with you Jie Sect 'fur-clad and horn-bearing' ones. Since you have sought me out yourselves, don't blame me for being heartless."

Dao Xing Tianzun's voice was like a great bell, echoing in this vast world, scaring many aquatic creatures in the sea into fleeing in a hurry.

Gu Xiu remained calm, engaging in a verbal spar: "Coming to the East Sea and speaking such big words, wanting to kill my Jie Sect disciples—I don't know whether to call you arrogant or stupid."

Beside him, Bi Xiao's brows were slightly furrowed, her beautiful face now full of anger.

"Last time, True Person Yuding was beaten away by us. Your Chan Sect still dares to come to the East Sea? Are you Chan Sect disciples just that desperate for a beating?"

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet carried a chilling sharpness.

Hearing this, Dao Xing Tianzun's expression grew even gloomier.

He snorted coldly: "Don't compare me to that waste Yuding. You Jie Sect disciples behave recklessly and killed my disciple; I have come here to act on behalf of Heaven!"

Gu Xiu couldn't help but smile, his laughter filled with mockery: "You Chan Sect disciples think highly of yourselves, judging everything by origin and looking down on all spirits and races. You have offended many people. Who knows if it wasn't your disciple who was inferior in skill and was killed instead? According to your Chan Sect's own words, this is the Heavenly Mandate; you cannot blame others."

Hearing Gu Xiu's argument, Bi Xiao's eyes lit up, and she echoed: "My nephew is right. Your Chan Sect came to the East Sea to hunt strange beasts; if you lack the skill and lose your life, it is simply the Heavenly Mandate; you cannot blame others. Why are you blaming us?"

The two of them singing in harmony completely infuriated Dao Xing Tianzun.

"Truly ridiculous! Are you of the Jie Sect worthy of expounding the Heavenly Dao? Only what my Chan Sect expounds is the Heavenly Dao. Today, Hong Jin must die—that is what I say."

Bi Xiao was unimpressed, a look of contempt curling the corner of her mouth.

"This is not Mount Kunlun, yet you still dare to speak such big words. Enough talk; let's see what you're really made of."

Dao Xing Tianzun was furious, his immortal power surging around him.

"Today, I will let you know the power of my Chan Sect!"

Over the East Sea.

Immortal power surged.

Various magical powers bombarded and collided, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.

The terrifying power spread wildly in all directions, raising waves ten thousand feet high.

Seeing Bi Xiao and Dao Xing Tianzun fighting, Gu Xiu did not remain idle.

In terms of cultivation, Bi Xiao was only at the early stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal, while Dao Xing Tianzun was at the middle stage, but having the Golden Dragon Scissors could make up for this gap.

Gu Xiu did not stay idle either; his immortal power surged like a raging tide, and every strike he made carried the force of thunder.

Now that he was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he could participate in this battle even without using supreme treasures, but to win, he definitely had to use them. After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, he summoned the Black Lotus of World Destruction to protect himself, while feinting and assisting Bi Xiao from the side.

Stepping on the Black Lotus of World Destruction, his figure moved like the wind, weaving through the turbulence of immortal power.

Bi Xiao's robes fluttered as she continuously fought Dao Xing Tianzun.

For a time, in the sky, immortal power intertwined and collided, the light of spells crossed, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The entire East Sea was stirred into a frenzy by this intense battle, the sky turning dark.

Sea waves surged into the sky, raising ten thousand-foot-high waves.

Facing the tacit, joint attack of Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao, Dao Xing Tianzun gradually appeared overwhelmed, finding it difficult to resist the mountain-toppling and sea-draining offensive.

Bi Xiao seized the opportunity and took out the Golden Dragon Scissors.

The Golden Dragon Scissors were entirely golden, the two dragons lifelike, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, radiating endless pressure and a sharp aura.

They flew into the sky, roaring as they charged toward Dao Xing Tianzun.

Dao Xing Tianzun's expression changed drastically; his cave-protecting treasure, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, had already been given to Wei Hu to use.

After Wei Hu was placed on the Investiture of the Gods list, his whereabouts became unknown, and he had no magic treasure on him to resist the Golden Dragon Scissors.

His instinctive attempt to dodge was already too late.

"Pfft!"

Dao Xing Tianzun spat out a large mouthful of immortal blood. His body seemed to have been hit by a heavy blow, flying backward and crashing heavily into the sea, splashing huge waves.

The surface of the sea was instantly dyed red by the blood of the Golden Immortal. The energy contained in the immortal blood decorated the water with blossoms of blood, immediately attracting a swarm of aquatic creatures to feed on it frantically.

Then, their bodies underwent changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dao Xing Tianzun crashed into the East Sea, his face as pale as paper, his aura becoming withered and listless; he was clearly seriously injured.

Not wanting to continue fighting Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao, he immediately fled.

……

This entire battle was watched by the aquatic tribes of the East Sea and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Dragon Palace.

Seeing Dao Xing Tianzun defeated and fleeing in a sorry state, they immediately went to report it.

When Ao Guang learned that the Jie Sect disciples had beaten Dao Xing Tianzun away, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Sure enough, to deal with these people from the Chan Sect, it has to be the Jie Sect, who are also disciples of a Saint."

Prime Minister Turtle echoed from the side: "Your Majesty, that is absolutely correct. This Chan Sect is truly detestable."

Ao Guang sat on the dragon throne, frowning in thought: "I thought the three branches of the Profound Gate were one family, but it seems the disciples are also very disharmonious."

"The Jie Sect disciples have also vented some of our anger for the Dragon Palace and the East Sea aquatic tribes. Go to the Dragon Palace treasury, take a treasure, and send it to the Three Immortals Island to express our gratitude."

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me."

……

After beating away Dao Xing Tianzun, Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao returned to the Three Immortals Island.

Along the way, Bi Xiao was very happy, her face filled with a joyful smile.

"Haha, this time we really made that Dao Xing Tianzun suffer a big loss. Let's see if they in the Chan Sect dare to be so arrogant in the future."

Gu Xiu was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Junior Aunt displayed such great might this time; the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect will have to weigh their own strength before coming to cause trouble again."
