Chapter 748

"Is it him?!"

The Angler Guest looked at Tang Luo and said.

"Who?" Su Qing asked, that white-haired... doesn't look very old, about the same as her.

The words spoken were quite arrogant, the Buddha Kingdom in the palm, taking over everything here?

Referring to the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land?

Could it be some powerful big shot?

"Oh, wasn't someone blocking us at the beginning? He even blocked a strike from Star-Slaying, that's him." The Angler Guest said.

A young monk with white hair, his red kasaya extraordinarily splendid, one look and you know he's no ordinary monk.

"Oh, so it's the one whose defense was shattered by Brother Tianxiezi's sword." Su Qing showed a disdainful expression, "How arrogant."

"..."

The Angler Guest was speechless for a moment, the little girl has grown up, becoming harder and harder to handle.

Even Brother Tianxiezi was mentioned.

Not a shred of a young lady's reserve, this time going back I must discipline her well.

At least confine her to quarters for a month... well, or maybe three days, three days should do.

"Alright, don't speak, this little monk is not simple. Remember, never leave my side by more than three steps, understand?" The Angler Guest reminded.

Although that little monk had his defense shattered by Tianxiezi's sword.

But before that, he also blocked a strike from Star-Slaying, the attack of the demon beasts from the Beast Taming Sect.

Moreover, he silently enveloped the entire Heavenly Demon Sacred Land without anyone noticing.

This strength, absolutely cannot be underestimated!

And looking at this person's appearance, he has some history with the Heavenly Demon Queen!

Maybe he's another Tianxiezi, no, not Tianxiezi.

Tianxiezi and this little monk are worlds apart.

Looking at how the two are staring at each other, there's definitely something going on.

And Tianxiezi is just the standard hot face sticking to a cold butt, the Heavenly Demon Queen looks at Tianxiezi and at other cultivators with no difference, one word: "kill".

"Now that monks are becoming unorthodox, are they all this powerful?" The Angler Guest thought to himself.

This is the Heavenly Demon Queen! You're just a kid!

Seeing Tianxiezi's green-faced look, the Angler Guest instantly felt his mood lighten.

Serve you right, you "old coot" for trying to seduce my granddaughter, she's still just a child.

Over there, Tianxiezi's face indeed has a hint of green.

Even though fundamentally, he doesn't even qualify to be green.

Tianxiezi looked toward the sky.

In this weakened state after cultivators can't fly, only that brief period before re-concealment when flight is possible in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.

The white-haired little monk hovered in midair.

The Heavenly Demon Queen, in an alluring posture, her long snake tail coiled and twined, circled around him.

From Tianxiezi's angle, he couldn't see half of Xia Jianhe's skull face, even with the snake tail, it in no way affects her beauty.

The whole scene looks to have an otherworldly beauty.

"You're desperately trying to drive me away, just so I don't see this?" Tang Luo asked.

"Yeah, this is my true form." Xia Jianhe said with a smile, her smile extremely sorrowful and splendid.

Insisting on putting on an otherworldly appearance, twining around Tang Luo.

As if stubbornly proving something.

Tang Luo didn't say much, reached out and rubbed her head, saying: "No problem, I can handle this."

"What did you say?" Xia Jianhe blinked and asked.

"I used to not be strong enough..." Tang Luo said, "Now I'm slightly stronger, barely enough. I spent some time creating a divine ability, the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, to resolve these, it's just a matter of time."

He didn't bother saying things like "you're beautiful like this" or other nonsense.

Tang Luo isn't much interested in non-humans, and even if he were, it would only be limited to cat ears, tails, and such.

Grass pythons heroes are not many, well, not few, Tang Luo doesn't count as one of them.

"How about it, don't believe me?" Tang Luo lightly flicked his right hand.

Over there, Tianxiezi flew up.

Before Tianxiezi could break free from that sudden immense force, he again fell from the sky to the ground, in a full-body prostration.

Leaving a human-shaped pit on the ground.

"..."

"What's going on?" The Angler Guest widened his eyes, instantly feeling extremely bad.

That little monk didn't even glance at Tianxiezi.

Just raised his hand slightly, moved his fingers a bit.

Tianxiezi just knelt? No, just lay prone.

It's impossible that Tianxiezi would kneel and lick the Heavenly Demon Queen to this extent, actively playing the clown for fun, right?

This isn't even fun.

Indeed, there's nothing fun about it.

Tianxiezi, face down in the yellow earth, back to the sky, burned with rage, feeling flames burning all over his body, about to explode.

It's not that some special power is surging.

It was the emotion called "Rage".

A monstrous humiliation!

From the moment he, Tian Xiezi, joined the Solitary Moon Sect to cultivate, all the way to entering the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, discovering a great secret, then betraying the sect and returning to attack the Solitary Moon Sect.

Along the way, he was high-spirited and unmatched under heaven!

He had never suffered such humiliation!

Not even his Master had ever struck him! Even after he betrayed the sect and returned, his Master still never struck him!

And it wasn't just because of their past master-disciple bond; the bigger reason was that he couldn't beat him.

Tian Xiezi's True Yuan and magic power circulated frantically, and the flying swords behind him continuously rang with sword cries.

The scabbards trembled, cracks appeared one after another, and golden light spilled from the fissures.

Everyone knew Tian Xiezi's natal flying sword — the Moonless Sword was one of the Solitary Moon Sect's supreme treasures, a top-grade magic treasure.

Yet no one knew that Tian Xiezi's Moonless Sword scabbard was an even more powerful magic treasure than the Moonless Sword itself.

If one were willing to turn their thinking around a bit, one could actually glimpse a hint of the scabbard's extraordinariness.

Very few cultivators wear their flying sword on their back with the scabbard still on.

Merely, those who guessed the Moonless Sword's scabbard was extraordinary only thought the scabbard was extraordinary.

As a clever old spirit, Diaolao Ke could more or less guess the scabbard was extraordinary.

Now seeing the scabbard stir, his heart tightened; he directly grabbed Su Qing: "Go, this place probably can't be stayed in any longer."

The reason I, Diaolao Ke, have lived to today is not merely because my cultivation is high.

Even more because of caution, following my heart.

When Tian Xiezi dropped to the ground and kowtowed, Diaolao Ke felt something was off.

That monk gave off a truly eerie feeling.

So he decided not to stay here and continue watching the "excitement"; of the thirty-six stratagems, flight is the best.

If it were only himself, it wasn't that he couldn't stay and watch the situation a bit more, seeking wealth in danger.

The cultivation path is inherently "defying heaven"; how could it not be dangerous?

But this time won't do; he still has a good granddaughter with him.

Diaolao Ke's reaction was not slow, not lacking in caution.

Then... then he crashed hard into an invisible barrier, nearly injuring himself.

The vortex gate behind them was covered by a layer of barrier.

Just like when they first tried to enter, silent and soundless.

The Heavenly Demon Holy Land has been sealed!

Diaolao Ke's eyes narrowed, sharp light shooting out in all directions, his aura surging; the bamboo hat and straw raincoat he wore were directly torn apart.

He shielded Su Qing, the bamboo pole in his hand rapidly expanding into a cyan-black bamboo that two hands couldn't even encircle!

Lightning flickered on it, crackling sounds continuously ringing out.

This wasn't ordinary bamboo, but the extremely rare Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Diaolao Ke obtained it by a stroke of luck and refined it into a supreme treasure.

Placed in many sects, it could serve as a sect-guarding treasure!

Diaolao Ke's originally hunched body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming from a withered old man into an extremely robust, fierce — old man.

He gripped the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo with both hands, rotating it; the cyan-black bamboo body and lightning surged together, destructive power gathering bit by bit.

Gathering at the tip!

"Annihilate!"

Diaolao Ke roared, aiming at the vortex gate, and violently thrust the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo forward.

This strike held nothing back, exerting all his strength!

Its power was far, far more terrifying than Tian Xiezi's initial sword strike that broke the white-haired little monk's barrier.

It was bound to be earth-shattering!

At the moment Diaolao Ke acted, Tian Xiezi also acted.

He could "see" the changes in the outside world, and could also see Diaolao Ke holding nothing back.

Although their purposes differed, at this moment, they could cooperate!

Tian Xiezi's sword scabbard shattered, all power completely poured into the Moonless Sword; the Moonless Sword soared into the sky, and the heavens completely dimmed.

Turning into a stretch of black.

Within this blackness, a full moon appeared; then, this full moon ignited.

Scorching flames drove back half the surrounding darkness.

The other half remained black night, and within this black night, a clear, cold new moon appeared once more.

One bright, one dark; one sun, one moon.

The two began to rotate and transform, like the alternation of sun and moon!

The sky flickered bright and dark; between this light and dark, everything could be torn apart; destructive power assaulted Tang Luo.

Sun and moon alternate, heaven and earth reincarnate!

Tian Xiezi's self-created strongest divine ability killing move; his Master, the Solitary Moon Sect Master, had only seen an incomplete half-move, yet already realized the Solitary Moon Sect would pay an extremely heavy price under this move.

It would fall from a colossus directly into a third-rate sect.

So he chose to "reconcile" with this once most-favored genius disciple.

For the sect's continuation and inheritance, he spared this white-eyed wolf that couldn't be tamed.

Now, it is Tang Luo's turn to face the complete Sun-Moon Alternation, Heaven-Earth Reincarnation.

"Die!"

Tian Xiezi revealed a ferocious, cold smile.

He didn't just want to kill this white-haired monk; he also wanted to kill the other cultivators. Only then could he gain the Heavenly Demon Queen's trust.

Only by subduing this Heavenly Demon Queen could he further obtain everything he wanted.

"Huu..."

A gentle breeze blew past, and a blood-colored mist emerged.

The flickering, the alternating bright and dim, abruptly stopped; the sun and moon in the sky vanished.

"Aaaah!"

Tian Xiezi let out an incomparably miserable shriek; half his body turned into a spray of dissipating blood mist.

It was as if invisible, boundless blades were slicing across his body, and even more so across his primordial spirit.

Like death by a thousand cuts!

This power, Tian Xiezi was very familiar with; it was none other than his own power of sun and moon alternating, of heaven and earth cycling!

His killing move, silent and unnoticed, landed on his own self while Tian Xiezi was completely unaware.

Although the instant it reached him, Tian Xiezi stopped, it was already too late.

Mortally wounded and dying, Tian Xiezi struggled madly; black-red blood gushed continuously from his facial features, like a twisted caterpillar.

The nearly shattered Wuyue Sword fell from the sky, pierced his chest, and nailed him to the ground.

"No, no..."

Tian Xiezi had never imagined that one day, he would kill himself.

Beside the vortex gate, Diaoaoke maintained his attacking posture.

Lightning flared at the tip of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, like splendid fireworks, brilliant to the extreme; then, there was nothing at all.

Diaoaoke's attack did not land on the vortex gate, nor did it touch any invisible barrier.

His attack seemed to have fallen into the distant sky.

Like a small pebble thrown into the great sea.

It merely stirred a fleeting, momentary ripple.

The lightning in the air, the ripple vanished after appearing, disappearing together with the vortex gate.

Some sounds came from behind.

Diaoaoke abruptly turned, pulling Su Qing behind himself.

He saw that the sky now held a heap of human figures; they were bewildered, at a loss.

They fell like rain, plunging headfirst into the earth beneath their feet.

Falling Leaf Sect disciples, Solitary Moon Sect disciples, Beast Control Gate disciples, numerous loose cultivators.

Cultivators!

The cultivators who had entered the Heavenly Demon Holy Land appeared one after another, like dumplings dropped into a pot, falling down in droves.

Planted upside-down into the earth, only their legs remained outside, twitching non-stop.

It looked funny, yet with an eerie strangeness.

"Now, do you believe?" A voice transmitted; Diaoaoke looked toward the sky.

There, the white-haired little... white-haired demon monk was looking at the Heavenly Demon Queen.

His face was calm and breezy; he didn't even make a move to glance this way.

No one, Tian Xiezi included, had the qualifications to enter his Dharma-eye.

He wasn't targeting these cultivators.

He was merely proving that she, within his palm's Buddha-land, was in the palm of his hand.
