Chapter 395

This 'Running Old Demon' isn't famed for its escape speed—can it run?

How could he still possess such strength?

Seeing his azure-gold intertwined rampaging flood dragon, Ji Huan Lao Zu's face flushed alternately blue and red, but at this moment facing Yunhe who had already made his intentions clear, Ji Huan Lao Zu also knew this matter could not be settled amicably; ultimately they must decide superiority, so he no longer hides his trump cards.

Clapping his palms, he finally, just a step slower, formed a seal with hand signs; terrifying demonic qi spread out from him like a black maw, enveloping.

Yunhe let out a cold snort.

Demonic qi?

Boom—!!

A thunderous roar like thunder burst from the mouth of the flood dragon formed by the Five Elements Sword Formation, surging golden lightning tearing apart the demonic qi wildly, as if a flood dragon entering the sea, stirring up thousand-layer waves.

But the scattered demonic qi, under Ji Huan Lao Zu's command, turned into countless long needles tinged with a hint of red powder, densely packed and innumerable.

Then Ji Huan Lao Zu let out a low shout.

"Swift!"

But soon he felt a sudden shudder, a chill rising from his tailbone.

Suddenly, a powerful divine sense slammed hard into Ji Huan Lao Zu's sea of consciousness.

Ji Huan Lao Zu's expression froze.

Moreover, Yunhe's array of treasures made him covetous.

Plus those three female cultivators.

However, just as Ji Huan Lao Zu couldn't help but feel a flicker of joy, Yunhe let out a light laugh.

Roar——!!!

A long whistle and dragon roar came crashing toward him; only then did Ji Huan Lao Zu finally understand Yunhe's Dao, but it was too late to dodge, so he braced himself and raised the copper gong atop his head.

He himself raised the copper gong, adopting a defensive stance.

"Do you really think the 'Spirit Body Talisman' merely lets the flood dragon formed by the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Sword gain a slight edge?"

"What he was waiting for was the moment Ji Huan Lao Zu let down his guard."

This scene made Ji Huan Lao Zu's face grim, yet deep down he couldn't help but feel a hint of pleasure mixed with some contempt.

Then he saw.

"It is now!"

"Hmph! This old ancestor has no interest in men, but if you are struck by the 'Union Love Needle,' I can send dozens of female cultivators to drain you dry, after which I will absorb their essence!"

"Gui Water Yin Thunder Pearl?!"

"Did we win?"

"Heh."

He flipped his palm, a black sphere appearing in his hand, which he extended with a finger.

As for it, Yunhe's 'Heavenly Demon Armor' naturally could block these black needles, but Ji Huan Lao Zu's black needles are not simple sorcery; they are a secret technique from his cultivation method—the 'Union Love Needle'!

He has experience in dealing with Yuan Ying cultivators.

The attack of this needle is not about causing strong damage; rather, upon hitting the target it transforms into a large amount of pervasive licentious qi that greatly increases the opponent's desire, making even a Yuan Ying cultivator hard to resist.

That demonic qi actually used this to avoid being crushed by the heavenly thunder's power.

If he could obtain those treasures, his strength could increase even further.

In his view, Yunhe ultimately lacks experience; although that Fourth Level top-tier defensive treasure is formidable, which Yuan Ying cultivator doesn't prioritize self-preservation? Ji Huan Lao Zu has encountered many 'tortoise-shell cultivators,' and this secret technique is aimed precisely at cultivators with extremely numerous and strong defensive measures.

Since the demonic qi could not withstand the heavenly thunder's power, Ji Huan Lao Zu chose the 'Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao' strategy, attacking Yunhe directly with these black needles to force the flood dragon to rush to his aid.

Boom!!

Black lightning filled with extreme yin qi burst forth, its crushing impact shattering most of the black needles.

Anyway, he confidently believed that as a mid-stage Yuan Ying cultivator with a cultivation base advantage, even if he could not withstand the heavenly thunder's power in the short term, blocking one or two was still doable.

Yunhe's body emanated a verdant hue, and the azure-gold flood dragon lunging at Ji Huan Lao Zu displayed lifelike azure scales, making the dragon appear more real, while its true spirit qi surged suddenly.

Ji Huan Lao Zu's meaning was clear.

Ji Huan Lao Zu could even foresee that after blocking Yunhe's assault, his 'Union Love Needle' would cause Yunhe's desire to surge, allowing him to use his cultivation method to control Yunhe in a short time.

Yet Yunhe's response still surprised him somewhat.

This caused the on-guard Ji Huan Lao Zu to lose focus for a moment.

Han Sword True Lord gave a wry smile, saying, 'Compared to Fellow Daoist Yun, I am falling further behind.'

Boom!!

Heavenly thunder tore apart the demonic qi, the wooden flood dragon crushed the copper gong, and the flood dragon swallowed Ji Huan Lao Zu whole in one bite.

Because Yunhe neither dodged nor intended to recall the flood dragon, but instead single-mindedly drove the sword formation, continuing to fiercely attack Ji Huan Lao Zu.

Since we cannot withstand the heavenly thunder's power, it's just a matter of who can take down the opponent first!

Back then he watched Yunhe form his Nascent Soul and survive the heavenly tribulation; he never expected that decades later, facing Yunhe now, a feeling of inadequacy would well up.

"That Yunhe could stand toe-to-toe with a mid-stage Yuan Ying cultivator already shocked them, but they never expected that in that brief moment just now, Yunhe had actually won!"

"Boom!"

The remaining few black needles, after Yunhe exhaled a chill, froze into crystalline ice needles that scattered and fell.

Hum——

Seeing this from afar, Ji Liuyun and the others widened their eyes; even though they were Yuan Ying cultivators, they almost bit their tongues.

"However, from now on Elder Yun will have gained a mid-stage Yuan Ying mortal enemy." Fang Qiuyu slowly gathered their astonishment and sighed, 'Moreover, he is a perverse mortal enemy.'

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

Although Yunhe defeated Ji Huan Lao Zu this time, killing him is not really feasible.

It is unavoidable to have a mid-Yuan Ying cultivator as a deadly enemy.

"But at least, after this battle, Yunhe Dao Friend is no longer someone a mid-Yuan Ying cultivator can casually provoke." Ji Li Yun said with a hint of relief.

Fortunately, he had already extended an invitation to Yunhe earlier.

"Or perhaps." Feng Qing Dan also murmured, her eyes flashing with an odd light: "It's not certain that Yunhe Dao Friend can kill the opponent."

"Huh?"

Several people glanced sideways.

"Yunhe Old Devil, this old ancestor has remembered you!!"

One, resembling the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy by seventy to eighty percent, carrying a small cloth bag, a Yuan Ying flew out, full of resentment staring at Yunhe, the malice in his eyes undisguised.

"Even at death's door, you still spout so much nonsense."

Yunhe snorted, and at some point the compass in his hand began to turn with a 'click-click'.

At the same time, the five flying swords that had formed the Five Elements Sword Formation had already differentiated and spread, hovering around the Yuan Ying of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy.

Driven by the 'Floating Cloud Eight Trigrams Disk,' it condensed into the forbidden 'Inverted Five Elements Formation.'

Dealing with a Yuan Ying cultivator's Yuan Ying escape, Yunhe already had some experience.

However, this time Yunhe really misunderstood the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy; his Yuan Ying did not flee immediately, waiting for Yunhe to completely let down his guard.

Only to see, on his Yuan Ying's infantile face appeared a strange flush, and then he violently spat out a mouthful of crystalline bright red.

Whoosh——

That Yuan Ying's essence blood, like an arrow, shot straight toward Yunhe.

And Yunhe, who was driving the 'Floating Cloud Eight Trigrams Disk' intending to block the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy's Yuan Ying escape, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood up.

By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Because this is the true trump card of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy, the Seven Emotions Command!

Only by using a Yuan Ying's body can it be employed; not only does it use part of the Yuan Ying's teleportation ability to make this secret technique swift, but even a late-stage Yuan Ying cultivator, if close enough, may not necessarily react in time, and this secret technique consumes a Yuan Ying greatly, making it his last trump card.

Bang!!

The 'Seven Emotions Command' fell upon the 'Heavenly Demon Armor' and scattered, but that licentious qi did not dissipate; instead, it transformed into countless fine threads that sank into Yunhe's body.

Hahahaha——

Seeing this, the Yuan Ying of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Having been struck by the 'Seven Emotions Command,' even if you are a late-stage Yuan Ying cultivator, you will still be used by this old ancestor!"

Hum——

Suddenly.

As the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy laughed wildly, the surrounding five Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Swords instantly condensed into the 'Inverted Five Elements Formation.'

"How is that possible!!"

Seeing this, the Yuan Ying of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy's eyes instantly widened, as if he no longer cared about the surrounding formation, merely shaking his head and saying: 'Impossible! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!'

He couldn't understand; clearly Yunhe had been struck by the 'Seven Emotions Command,' his mind should be swayed by the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, so why could he still form a formation?

Yunhe opened his eyes, and in the gaze of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy lay endless killing intent.

Just now, he really almost got hit, only a hair's breadth away.

If not for his quick thinking, sending the 'Seven Emotions Command' that had drilled into his body and rushed toward his Yuan Ying to the Yao Shou World, he might truly have become a puppet manipulated by the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy.

While he couldn't help but break a sweat for himself, he dared not be careless; his hands danced, and the spiritual power within him surged even more.

"No!"

The Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy reacted, changing from his previous arrogance, he pleaded repeatedly:

"No! Yunhe Old Devil, no, Yunhe Old Ancestor, Yunhe Supreme Being, spare my life; I am willing, this old slave is willing to serve you as master, to gather for you all the beauties of the Eastern Border cultivation world, letting them willingly become your furnace cauldron! Your cultivation will surely skyrocket; I only beg you to spare my life."

With the 'Inverted Five Elements Formation' surrounding him, the Yuan Ying of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy cannot escape.

And having such a servant by his side, Yunhe fears that even his closed-door cultivation would be restless.

"My servant is not as ugly as you."

Yunhe said in one sentence.

The Yuan Ying of the Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy had a dazed expression.

The five flying swords fell together!

Swish!!

The petite Yuan Ying was instantly torn into countless fragments, and a delicate cloth bag fell into Yunhe's hand.

Along with it, there was also a pair of bronze cymbals and a clump of soul.

"Mm!"

Before Yunhe could catch his breath, his complexion slightly changed and he let out a muffled groan.

On his cheeks appeared a hint of strange red flush.

Immediately, strands of licentious sounds suddenly rang in his mind, and his gaze gradually became dazed.

Yunhe gritted his teeth, relying on his powerful spiritual sense and will, temporarily suppressing that lust.

Once again, a sense of relief rose in his heart.

"'I have already reacted so quickly; is there still a small part of the Seven Emotions Command remaining?'"

It's hard to imagine what he would become if he were truly struck by an entire Seven Emotions Command.

But even so, he actually still has a last resort.

That is to have his second Yuan Ying bear the Seven Emotions Command.

But relying on this, his second Yuan Ying is likely to run into trouble.

"'However, this Old Ancestor of Extreme Joy's cultivation method is somewhat interesting.'"

Yunhe had to admit, he felt a bit of interest in the secret technique displayed by Ji Huan Laozu.

After temporarily suppressing the fire of desire in his heart, Yunhe's expression did not relax.

Because he clearly knew the reason Ji Huan Laozu would appear here.
