Chapter 38: Five Quasi-Sages Join Forces, Chaos Battle Erupts!

Be careful!

Jieyin didn't turn his head, speaking in a low voice.

As he spoke, he subtly shielded Chen Ku behind him.

Afterward, his gaze fixed tightly on the Chaos mist before him, his face full of vigilance.

Zhunti likewise had a cold, stern expression; at this moment he spoke in a low voice:

"Heh, it seems a fellow Daoist can't hold back any longer?!"

"Since you've been waiting for us three here for a long time, why not show yourself and meet us?!"

Zhunti directly shouted.

Before them, the endless Chaos mist had already formed a strange, unfathomable space, seemingly intended to trap the three of them here.

This obviously could not have formed in an instant.

Thus, Zhunti could almost certainly conclude that a powerful expert had made a move, waiting here in advance, silently awaiting their entry.

Indeed!

As Zhunti's words fell,

In the dim void, a cold laugh sounded in response.

"Heh, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, your perception is indeed sharp."

"We five have been waiting here for you all along."

As those words fell, five figures slowly stepped out of the void, the leader wearing a hostile look as he gazed at Jieyin and the other two.

Hearing the newcomer's words, Chen Ku rolled his eyes widely.

"What a lot of nonsense."

Even a fool could tell something was off.

Yet this person still praised Zhunti's keen perception—truly hypocritical.

Nevertheless, Chen Ku's expression turned solemn as he stared at the five figures.

All five were Quasi-Sage cultivators, clearly Primeval Mighty Ones, with formidable strength!

This time, it's somewhat troublesome.

And as Jieyin and Zhunti got a clear look at the five newcomers, their faces sank and their pupils contracted.

"Linglong Old Ancestor!"

"Rakshasa Sovereign!"

"Corpse Puppet Daoist!"

"Wind and Thunder Scatterer!"

"Azure Wood Sovereign!"

Jieyin spoke, naming all five titles, thus recognizing the identities of the five before him.

"Heh, we have no grudge against you."

"I never expected you to come seeking us proactively."

Jieyin gave a light laugh, his words full of cold mockery.

Hearing this, the leader of the opposing side, Linglong Old Ancestor, also gave a light laugh and said indifferently:

"Jieyin Zhunti, I know your strength is great and not to be underestimated."

"If not necessary, I also have no intention of bearing grudges against you."

"However, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is too important; for the sake of a sage position, we are willing to take great risks."

Everyone present is a Primeval Mighty One; there's no need for idle talk.

Thus, Linglong Old Ancestor, upon appearing, directly stated his purpose.

As his words fell, the Corpse Puppet Daoist behind him also spoke up:

"Not bad!"

"Moreover, I have taken a liking to that kid's Primordial Spirit Treasure."

While speaking, his gaze was sinister, fixed tightly on Chen Ku.

Just as Jieyin and the other two had anticipated, the Hongmeng Purple Qi and many spirit treasures are the objectives of these five mighty ones before them.

For a moment, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces grew even darker.

"Heh, we are disciples of the Dao Ancestor—do you dare to act against us?!"

Zhunti spoke with a cold sneer.

Who would have thought, upon hearing this, the five opposite burst into laughter, full of contempt.

"Haha, Zhunti, at this point do you still want to rely on the so-called title of Dao Ancestor's disciple to put on airs?!"

"We have already heard that after the Dao Ancestor unites with the Dao, he only acts when the great trend demands it."

"Therefore, how could the Dao Ancestor possibly halt his union with the Dao over today's affair, just to protect you three?"

Jieyin and Zhunti's faces froze!

Damn… that actually makes a lot of sense.

It seems the other side had planned everything in advance.

Between the two sides, a moment of silence fell.

Just then, Chen Ku couldn't help but mutter quietly:

"Why don't you go rob the Three Pure Ones instead?"

"They actually possess three strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and their spirit treasures are countless."

"Compared to that, what's the point of robbing us three poor fellows?!"

As the saying goes, let the Dao friend die, not the poor Daoist!

Chen Ku said this without feeling any guilt.

If we could point the spear at the Three Pure Ones, wouldn't that be better?

Upon hearing his words, the five, including Linglong Old Ancestor, had their faces stiffen, somewhat embarrassed.

Rob the Three Pure Ones?!

They would need to have that kind of guts!

You know, the Three Pure Ones are transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit, bearing some of the merit of opening the heavens.

Furthermore, they are protected by numerous innate supreme treasures, unmatched in slaughter, not something ordinary strong ones can contend with.

More importantly, the Three Pure Ones are the direct disciples of Hongjun.

Conversely, Jieyin and Zhunti are merely nominal disciples.

Therefore, the only way for them to have a chance to prove the Dao and become saints is to rob Jieyin and Zhunti, seize those two strands of Primordial Purple Qi.

Seeing the several people's changing expressions, how could Jieyin and Zhunti not know what they are thinking?

This damn... In other words, in the eyes of these people, I am nothing but a 'soft persimmon'?!

Infuriating!

So infuriating!

Moreover, after a long entanglement, Jieyin and Zhunti are already furious beyond restraint.

In that case...

Today, a battle is inevitable, isn't it?

Jieyin's face sank like water, fierce light bursting in his eyes as he coldly gazed at Linglong Old Ancestor and the others.

Even though they are both at the Quasi-Sage realm, their strengths still differ.

Furthermore, among the five before us, the Corpse Puppet Daoist is merely an early-stage Quasi-Sage.

In Jieyin and Zhunti's view, he can be easily crushed.

Thus, Jieyin shows no fear!

Swords drawn, bows bent!

Point to point!

As Jieyin's words fell, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

The Rakshasa Sovereign stepped forward and shouted sternly:

Leave behind the Primordial Purple Qi, and all your spiritual treasures.

Today, we can let you all leave.

Otherwise... don't blame us for being ruthless.

When the words fell, the five innate great beings already revealed their qi, their heavenly pressure overwhelming, seizing hearts and souls.

Chen Ku couldn't help but frown.

Bullying the few with the many is indeed somewhat troublesome.

I don't know if my master and uncle can prevail.

Needless to say, even for Chen Ku alone, making him hand over his spiritual treasures is absolutely impossible.

After all, his accumulations are all obtained by wandering the world, painstakingly seeking each item, or through repeated shamelessness.

He would rather lose his life than give up his spiritual treasures!

Meanwhile, as Chen Ku was pondering.

At the side, Jieyin also spoke up forcefully.

Don't even think about it!

If you want the Primordial Purple Qi, then speak with strength.

Afterward, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, battle intent surging in their eyes.

The two stepped forward together, their momentum mighty, domineeringly facing the five great beings, instead shielding Chen Ku behind them.

There's no way!

The five great beings before us, even the weakest are early-stage Quasi-Sages.

In Jieyin and Zhunti's view, Chen Ku, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, is obviously not someone they can handle.

Today, even if it's two against five, we must strive to avoid dragging Chen Ku into it.

However, Jieyin and Zhunti, although they think this way,

but the five great beings on the other side are not so.

Only see the Corpse Puppet Daoist's eyes turn, his gaze instantly locking onto Chen Ku.

Hehe, this seat will go deal with that brat.

Fellow Daoists, you two join forces to deal with one of Jieyin and Zhunti; that should be enough.

This Corpse Puppet Daoist is quite shrewd.

He knows that even if he obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, with his strength it would ultimately be hard to prevail against the other four.

Therefore, he directly set his sights on Chen Ku's spiritual treasures; as long as he gets them, it counts as not having come in vain.

As for the remaining four great beings, letting them join forces to deal with Jieyin and Zhunti will do.

Upon hearing this, Linglong Old Ancestor and the others all nodded.

Meanwhile, Chen Ku on the other side was stunned, his face instantly falling.

No way?!

This damn... they can even target me?
