Chapter 783: Da Ri Dayan Jianzi: I Hate the Healer

In the sky, the youth within the ancient tree and blazing sun heaven-and-earth phenomenon had crimson eyes, showing neither joy nor anger, as he looked at a girl a little over a meter tall, pure and adorable.

He was very focused, his gaze not shifting for a long time.

"Again like this…"

Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi Ji Liuyue's delicate frame trembled, and she quickly shrank back behind Tian Tian Xuanzi, whose body had already recovered.

Then, after thinking for a moment, she continued retreating, hiding behind Wanshou Candidate Daozi, Shangqing Lingbao Candidate Daozi, Tianji Candidate Daozi, and Yingmo Candidate Daozi, her already petite body curling up as much as possible, not revealing a single bit.

All around her were people, all Candidate Daozi.

There was Tianji Candidate Daozi, extremely skilled in the art of foresight, who sensed danger before the autumn wind stirred the cicada, making ambush extremely difficult;

There was Brother Xuanwu Candidate Daozi, whose defensive power was formidable;

There was Yingmo Candidate Daozi, hidden in unknown places, filling in gaps and covering weaknesses;

At mid-to-long range, there was Shangqing Lingbao Candidate Daozi…

The only pity was that Wuxing Candidate Daozi was not present; otherwise, while defense would gain another layer, magic power would also be much more abundant, and recovery speed would increase.

This was not Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi's one-sided evasion; many Candidate Daozi were instinctively protecting her, without needing to say anything.

"Da Ri Dayan Jianzi, don't hit me, I absolutely will not attack you."

Ji Liuyue pleaded.

In the records of Qingmuxian Sect regarding the Battle of Da Ri Chun Jian Ge, what Da Ri Dayan Jianzi hated most was Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi; even with enormous risk of falling, he would kill Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi first, extremely stubborn.

Jiang Ding looked at her.

'Slut.'

A thought surfaced in his heart.

Now he understood why the Badaxian Sect was so difficult to deal with.

Under normal combat power, Jiang Ding had absolute confidence in defeating any single Candidate Daozi, within at most three hundred moves, but could not kill them.

This had to be admitted: he was stronger than the eight Candidate Daozi, but not by that much.

If the scabbard was added, Jiang Ding had absolute confidence in killing any single Candidate Daozi, within at most twenty moves!

But now, with seven Candidate Daozi together, a terrifying transformation suddenly emerged—defense, healing, reconnaissance, stealth, attack, mobility, and so on; none of them had any weaknesses.

Their actual strength, how could it merely multiply several times over?

In those years, Da Ri Chun Jian Ge possessed Dominator-level inheritance and Dominator-level resources, and should have ignored differences in numbers, sweeping aside everything.

The Cultivation World was like this: a gap of half a stage meant an endless divide, strength entirely different.

But the Dayan Jianzi of Da Ri Chun Jian Ge was never able to thoroughly defeat and kill the eight Candidate Daozi, completing his conquest on the sword path and achieving a great breakthrough.

"Those who obstruct the revival of the Immortal Gate shall be slain,"

Jiang Ding said coldly.

Boom!

In the sky, wind and clouds changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds pressed down, and space rolled and tore like waves.

Amid the terrifying, heavy pressure,

a steel giant warship appeared in the sky, its hull silver-white and gorgeous, beautiful and elegant, spreading dense azure magnetic field sensing dashed lines outward within a thousand-kilometer radius, triggering resonance among a million warships of the Immortal Gate, and the aerial military formation instantly became more harmonious.

This was the sovereign among warships, born to stand at the center.

The super warship Da Ri Hao!

Moreover, after years of refinement, it already possessed twelve Electromagnetic Tiangang prohibitions, promoted to the grade of superior-grade Infant Treasure, a level above what it had been when seeing Chong Chong Yuanzi more than fifty years ago.

For the first time, upon seeing an enemy, the super warship Da Ri Hao appeared.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz…

The moment it appeared, without any nonsense, within the Thousand-Li Ten-Thousand-Magnet Thunder Cloud Grand Array, hundreds of millions of azure magnetic-sensing dashed lines spread outward, filling the sky and the earth.

The kilometer-long fourth-grade Magnetic Cloud Star-Splitting Cannon consumed endless spiritual energy, its light resplendent and dazzling, its will to destroy and shatter laws locking onto the divine souls of every Candidate Daozi-level being.

"The super warship of Dongji Demon Gate!"

Tian Tian Xuanzi, Ji Liuyue, Wanshou Candidate Daozi, Duobao Zi, and others' expressions changed drastically.

They clearly sensed the cold crisis of death descending, enveloping their divine souls and bodies, making it almost impossible to breathe or mobilize magic power.

If facing it alone, the outcome would certainly not be pleasant.

"Kill!"

"Kill our way out; facing a sword cultivator, pure defense absolutely will not work!"

Several Candidate Daozi shouted, not at all calm and composed under the death crisis.

Dimly, as if in a dream, they returned to three thousand years ago, the era when Da Ri Chun Jian Ge dominated the world, when the eight great immortal sect Candidate Daozi besieged Da Ri Dayan Jianzi Chong Chong Guang Zi.

Were the Candidate Daozi of those years also roaring like this?

The outcome of those years was that Chong Chong Guang Zi burned his essence blood, divine soul, and lifespan to kill the eight Candidate Daozi, but before he could break through, he died in the siege of Qingmuxian Sect's Soul Transformation cultivators.

And now, what would it be?

"Kill!"

Tian Tian Xuanzi's killing intent was chilling; his body transformed into a bixi, a stele of scriptures on its back, charging at the forefront.

Wanshou Candidate Daozi's surrounding ten-thousand-beast phantoms materialized into substance—dragons, phoenixes, giant apes, wolf packs, and the like, all starry exotic species—each roaring as they charged forward.

Duobao Zi of Shangqing Lingbao Sect waved his hand, three thousand six hundred Falling Treasure Coins sealing the starry sky, covering toward the super warship…

Taiyi Qingmu Candidate Daozi Ji Liuyue's slender hands danced, and strands of tough wooden vines appeared on all the Candidate Daozi, transforming into sturdy Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu armor, possessing defense, accelerating magic power mobilization and recovery, and allowing one to perform a Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Escape technique through the vine armor, among many other wondrous abilities.

All of these, layered upon layers, with terrifying momentum, the killing moves of the seven Candidate Daozi were tightly ordered, forming a net, surrounding and killing the super warship in the sky.

"Lock-on complete."

"Please insert the Taiqing Flying Sword, infuse divine soul and magic power…"

The crisp voice of the ship spirit Yunri came through.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged, his divine soul sheathed, merging with the Taiyi Flying Sword, instantly appearing at the core of the Magnetic Cloud Star-Breaking Cannon.

"Fire."

He commanded.

"Yes!"

Boom!

Amidst a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth, the thousand-meter-long Magnetic Cloud Star-Breaking Cannon roared; the entire super-warship trembled, blasting forth a brilliant yet invisible beam of light that vanished from everyone's sight.

Jiang Ding remained calm in his heart, watching his perspective shift once more; the heavens, the earth, all things, and space itself froze, moving as slowly as a snail, while only seven relatively normal targets continued casting spells and wielding treasures, charging toward them.

"Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu..."

Originally, the locked-on target was that petite figure among the Dao Disciples; without slaying her, the other Dao Disciples could not be killed.

No matter how many were injured, they would be healed; no matter how much was restored, everything done was futile.

But she was protected too well!

Almost all the Dao Disciples, consciously or unconsciously, protected her; even while attacking, they constantly diverted part of their divine sense to monitor her condition.

Especially the Tianji Dao Disciple, that prematurely aged youth in hemp robes; every time his sword intent gazed upon Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu, he would sense it, his sensitivity terrifying.

"Shadow Demon..."

Jiang Ding immediately abandoned Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu, looking toward a gray shadow that had broken away from the six Dao Disciples, drifting outside.

It could be seen that he possessed immense confidence in his concealment technique; having detached from the six great Dao Disciples, he was speeding silently through space, aiming to circle behind the super-warship and form a pincer attack.

Jiang Ding knew the source of his confidence.

The Shadow Demon Abyss possessed the realm's top-tier immortal concealment techniques for exploration; even Chong Chong Guang Zi of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion could not pinpoint his location precisely before his killing intent was exposed.

"Pity, but the Immortal Sects have also reached the realm's pinnacle in exploration techniques."

Jiang Ding said coldly.

Boom!

Annihilating Sword Intent descended, covering the sky and earth; the rumble of thunder did not cease, harmonizing with the sound of sword qi and thunder, firmly locking on and constructing a semi-material, semi-spatial high-speed channel between the Taiyi Flying Sword and that gray shadow.

Like a festering sore on the bone, impossible to shake off.

Boom!

The Taiyi Sword Shadow arrived in an instant!

Isn't Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu skilled in restoration and healing?

If you are destroyed in a single strike, how will you heal?!
