Chapter 1556 - Chapter 1556 Chapter 38 Yan Fus Yin Yang Bureau_2

Chapter 1556: Chapter 38: Yan Fu’s Yin Yang Bureau_2 Chapter 1556: Chapter 38: Yan Fu’s Yin Yang Bureau_2 The evil eye that had opened was gouged out, bleeding, and the sinister script of curse art was forcibly sealed. Even the five Heavenly Demons who were battling Duan Siping and Duan Zheng Yao at a great distance suffered considerable repercussions.

The most miserable one was Bu Ge, who had been severely injured by Duan Longting; his bodily Primary Qi had already been steamed away by the Ziwei Starfire. Now, with the Phoenix’s Cry destroying him, he almost didn’t catch his breath.

And the Blood Dragon he had summoned was not faring any better. It was originally a tainted Grandmaster’s residual soul with the Wind Soul Blood Axis. Now, shocked by the Phoenix’s Cry that purified the universe, the dragon’s bloody garment seemed to melt, forcing Bu Ge to retract the dragon soul.

Because of this, the pressure on Xiang Liu in its dragon form greatly decreased. The second Heavenly Demon from the beast-fighting circle, Xumi, and the fourth Heavenly Demon, Mo En, did not fare well either.

A Heavenly Demon’s True Spirit is equivalent to a martial artist’s godlike soul, but unlike the soul of a martial artist that can affect Heavenly and Earthly Qi, a Heavenly Demon’s True Spirit can only wield Evil Qi.

After the battlefield had been purified by the Phoenix’s Cry, the Mysterious Blood Killing Technique had dissipated, leaving only the refined Spiritual Power. This not only weakened the Heavenly Demons’ combat ability but also allowed the Spiritual Power recovery rate of the Evil King Palace’s Grandmasters to increase.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly shifted. Only now, within Long Zheng’s furious counterattack, there was a deep sense of sorrow.

“Duan Siping, Duan Zheng Yao, heed my command–break through quickly and return to the sect, report the matters of the Lin Chuan Plain to the sect master, and commence the mountain sealing immediately!”

“Zheng Yao (Siping) obeys the command!”

Suppressing the sadness in their hearts, Duan Zheng Yao and Duan Siping transformed into human figures to prepare for the breakout.

Upon seeing them expose an opening, the several Heavenly Demons immediately wanted to move forward and seize the opportunity to attack but were whipped away by the Phoenix Feathers carrying the Eight Sins Karma Flame.

“Your opponent is me.”

Transforming into the divine bird Nine Phoenixes and spreading its wings in mid-air, the blazing Karma Flame purified the universe, even more dazzling than the sun itself.

The long feathers falling beneath looked like fiery whips, instantly sealing off the attacks of the seven Heavenly Demons.

Using this momentary barrier, Duan Siping and Duan Zheng Yao turned into Spiritual Light and fled, leaving behind only the eight Heavenly Demons on the battlefield, encircling Nine Phoenixes.

In truth, with Nine Phoenixes’ extreme speed, Duan Fengjiu could have easily left the field, but his recent action of burning his godly soul to force entry into his war body had prematurely brought on his spiritual decline.

At this moment, it wasn’t only the Eight Sins Karma Flame burning on the body of Nine Phoenixes but also his very soul and essence. This was Nine Phoenixes Grandmaster’s last brilliant display in the human realm, yet he still had unfulfilled wishes.

He had left seclusion this time to suppress the Void Grandmaster, yet that cunning lad had never come face to face with him from start to finish. Even as he transformed into Nine Phoenixes, he kept searching for Tang Luo’s figure. But that sly boy disappeared without a trace after ambushing Duan Longting, ensuring that the last time he would assume the form of Nine Phoenixes in his life would be against these undying Heavenly Demons. This realization brought a sense of melancholy to the Nine Phoenixes Grandmaster.

But such sentimental thoughts are something that the Eight Heavenly Demons could not understand, especially Chadi, who was almost burned beyond recognition by the Eight Sins Karma Flame.

What they wanted was to tear this fiery beast to shreds!

…

It was quite normal for Nine Phoenixes Grandmaster to not find Tang Luo because after his sneak attack on Duan Longting, he had concealed his presence at the very outskirts of the battlefield.

This “outskirts” was so remote that even with his eyesight, he could only just make out the battle ring.

As the saying goes, caution is the parent of safety. Among the three Grandmasters, the only one he truly feared was Duan Fengjiu, whom he had met for the first time.

A bit of backside logic could tell that this was probably a secret weapon from the Evil King Palace meant to deal with him.

Although it was now said that he was Longzhou’s number one Grandmaster, that’s something to hear about and laugh over. If someone really believed that, they must have problems with their intelligence.

Calculating the time, it had only been twenty-two years since he first started cultivating to this day. Even with fair comprehension and the help of the stars negating the time needed to accumulate Spiritual Power, there was still a considerable gap from true Grandmasters who had honed their innate talent and experience over time.

So, with numerical superiority already on his side, why would he personally take risks?

They say a wise man doesn’t stand under a stumbling wall, and that’s probably what they’re talking about.

Especially after Duan Fengjiu transformed into Nine Phoenixes and erupted in Eight Sins Karma Flame, Tang Luo felt exceptionally grateful for his own foresight.

The fearless come from ignorance. Eight Heavenly Demons, not understanding fear, fiercely attacked Nine Phoenixes who was ablaze with Karma Flame.

But was Tang Luo ignorant? Twenty years of studying martial arts allowed him to see at a glance what the flames on Nine Phoenixes were about.

The so-called “Nothing can be carried away at the end, only Karma follows one.”

The thing body cultivators fear the most are such strange and inexplicable secret arts.

Greed, hatred, delusion, arrogance, doubt;

The grief at separation, the agony of unrequited love;

Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind;

Form, sound, scent, taste, touch, Dharma;

What rage, arrogance, envy.

As long as a secret art carries such cause-and-effect judgement, it’s extremely troublesome.

If it were only used against the soul, Tang Luo naturally wouldn’t be afraid. At least so far, he hadn’t seen a more indestructible soul than his own Black Sphere.

But this kind of karma flame that affects not only the soul but also the physical body is really difficult to handle.

For example, the Eight Sins Karma Flame wielded by Duan Fengjiu is based on the intensity of the sin desire judgement to enhance the flame’s power.

Therefore, the more furious and irritable the Blood Rakshasa becomes, the stronger the power of this karma flame.

Just look at the eight human faces under the head of the phoenix, those eight kinds of desires – how could any living being avoid them?

Basically, once tainted by the karma flame, one can only choose to “sever karma.”

If your hand is tainted, you cut off your hand; if your head is tainted, you cut off your head; there’s basically no better way to solve it.

Of course, if one could cultivate a secret art that keeps the Dao Heart clear, to the realm of dispassionate resolve, beyond sorrow and joy, immovable by the eight winds,

perhaps one could simply wave one’s hands and extinguish the karma flame, but so far, Tang Luo hadn’t seen anyone of such a realm.

Therefore, staying away from Duan Fengjiu was the best choice he had made at present.

And what brought even more joy was that Duan Fengjiu’s outburst was to carve out space for Duan Zhenyao and Duan Siping. Watching the two transform into Spiritual Light and flee, Tang Luo truly felt as if even the heavens were assisting him.

Glancing back at the battlefield, the Four Heavenly Demons strengthened once again with the origin of the Blood Sea by the Blood God, wielded the Mysterious Blood Killing Technique. Although the Nine Phoenix Grandmaster was indeed formidable, he stood little chance within such an encirclement.

Even if by some miracle he were to defeat all eight, at the very least he would be gravely injured.

By the time Tang Luo dealt with Duan Siping and Duan Zhenyao and returned, he could easily deliver the coup de grace.

With such analysis, pursuing his old adversaries was actually the most appropriate decision.

Even though the energy within the Void Stomach was only enough to strengthen the spirit body, both Duan Zhenyao and Duan Siping were also severely injured.

There was a fight to be had!

Thinking this, Tang Luo stealthily crept up, transforming into Black Light and trailing far behind the two grandmasters from the Evil King Palace, waiting for the chance to ambush.

Yan Fu City’s Yin-Yang Pavilion

Dressed in the black and white Divine Robe, Pavilion Master Wang You wore a solemn expression as he shook the turtle shell, scattering stalks of milfoil on the table, furrowing the brows of Yan Fu City’s highest-ranking Yin-Yang Master.

Thirty-six hexagrams, each one greatly inauspicious, this was an unprecedented warning, yet the chaotic Tian Ji provided no hint of caution.

‘This omen from the Demon Star, could it be referring to the Heavenly Demon on the Lin Chuan Plain? But the hexagram indicates a disaster far beyond the capabilities of the Four Heavenly Demons. Strange and baffling indeed.’

Carefully putting away the turtle shell and milfoil to one side, Wang You spoke, “Assistant, please invite the Star Lord in!”

As his words fell, a well-mannered childlike Spirit Ghost emerged from the mural behind in the hall of rites, bowed obediently to Wang You, and then walked outside, stepping through the air, unfazed by the bright sun of early spring.

Before long, the Spirit Ghost child led Qionghua Star Lord into the hall, and Wang You got up to greet, “Wang You of Yan Fu City, at your service, Star Lord.”

“Pavilion Master, you are too courteous.”

The Qionghua Star Lord, holding the Divine Staff, gestured with his hand, “I’ve taken the liberty to visit to request your assistance.”

“With the centuries-old bond between the An and Wang families, speak freely, Star Lord.”

“Pavilion Master, are you aware of the recent events on the Lin Chuan Plain in Longzhou?”

“Are you referring to the eight savage and unbridled Heavenly Demons?”

“Not eight, at least nine!”

Qionghua Star Lord said to Wang You, “And behind these nine Heavenly Demons, there lies an even more terrifying and inscrutable existence!”
