Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Melee (Requesting guaranteed monthly votes at the start of the month!)

Colorful Cloud Mountain.

After changing his appearance, Zhong Shenxiu arrived at the edge of the mountain range from another side and waited.

More than a dozen hours passed, suddenly, within the mountains rang out several explosive sounds that shook the heavens and the earth.

That must have been the court Daoist officials who had come to encircle and suppress, already clashing with the Black Lotus Cultists.

Black Lotus Sect·Magic Platform.

Three streaks of light shot out, soaring into the sky tens of thousands of feet high, battling fiercely with the Daoist officials including Tong Baixiao, Divine Hand Master, and Ming Tuo Wei Qigong.

The battleground of the Divine Power Practitioner was inaccessible to Gang Sha Realm cultivators, at this time, the Daoist officials were engaging in an extremely fierce magical combat with the Black Lotus Cultists in the wilderness.

Poison fire, poison smoke, wild beasts, flying swords, formation flags...

Everywhere there were flashes of magic artifact light, causing the vital energy of heaven and earth in that area to tremble slightly.

Tong Baixiao had not participated in the encirclement and suppression of Black Dragon Cave, and he had been forcefully ordered by Yan Beiling to come and act as a bodyguard for Zhu Lie.

Although Master Ming Xue had conveyed the Emperor’s subtle hints, the life and death of a mere Princely Heir were not of concern to the Emperor and the Primordial Pill Masters.

However, Yan Beiling didn’t want this young man, Zhu Lie, to die over this matter and offend Duke Yingwu, hence this order was given.

But since too many of the Protector Mansion’s superpower experts had died, they could only pull Tong Baixiao, who was guarding the scripture vaults, into the fray.

This time, in the encirclement and suppression of Black Lotus Sect’s magic platform, they found that the opponents had too many superpower experts, totaling three, and Tong Baixiao had no choice but to take action, thus no longer having time to care about that Zhu Lie.

The Black Lotus Sect Divine Power Practitioner he was entangled with was elusive, with his entire body shrouded in Black Fog, but his divine powers were pretty impressive.

Especially a Substitute Divine Power that could resolve many curses and absolute killing divine powers, it was extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, his opponent was also unable to break through his divine powers, the two slowly engaged in magical combat, waiting for the outcome on the other battlefields to be decided, which would also determine who held the upper hand.

After which, whether to continue fighting or to flee would be rather convenient.

Divine Power Practitioners, whose cultivation was not easy, certainly wouldn’t gamble their lives recklessly.

While Tong Baixiao was leisurely at ease, he took the opportunity to observe the other two divine power battlefields, Divine Hand Master, a Buddhist Divine Power Practitioner, who with the display of her divine power, was like having a thousand hands and eyes, myriad jade hands falling down, omnipresent, enveloping a stretch of the battlefield.

And Ming Tuo Wei Qigong, although appearing hunchbacked, unleashed the Thousand Camel Peak divine power, and in the sky, suddenly there were many steep peaks pressuring down, forcing the Black Lotus Sect Divine Power Practitioner to flee everywhere.

Wei Qigong was originally a Loose Cultivator, practicing a Daoist skill from the court—the Thousand Mountains Diagram, which required the collection of mountain energies from various famous mountains, refining them into spells, and then condensing them into divine powers to be unleashed, able to borrow the gravitational force of various mountains to attack foes.

Moreover, due to its wide range, it vaguely restrained the Black Lotus Sect’s very short-ranged Substitute Divine Power.

Thus, he was the most relaxed among the three court cultivators.

Meanwhile, below, within the Daoist officials’ battlefield, the court cultivators were gaining the upper hand, already having broken into the magic platform.

Feng Xixi, clothed in a Five-Colored Feather Robe, manipulated eight Willow Leaf Flying Knives, with a stream of Evil Qi circling around her, protecting her entire body, with seventy percent of her strength focused on how to protect herself.

Only thirty percent was used for magical combat.

She glanced, and saw Zhu Lie hiding in a corner of the battlefield, guarded by three Gang Sha Realm retainers.

One of them had lost a palm but still maintained a resolute expression, full of loyalty, bravely standing in front.

However, although these court Daoist officials each had their own schemes, being numerous and powerful, they gradually broke into the Black Lotus Sect magic platform, and saw a platform built of pitch-black boulders, upon which stood a sinister statue of pitch-black color.

The lines of the statue were fierce, yet it seemed unfinished, with only a vague figure.

Just one glance at it was enough to send chills down someone’s spine as if it harbored ill omen and darkness.

Amidst screams, court Daoist officials and Black Lotus Sect Disciples fell dead or injured.

Limbs and body parts littered the ground, the fresh blood soaking into the earth, as if drawn by some invisible force, flowing towards the altar.

The cultivators were as if oblivious, their frenzy for slaughter growing even more intense.

It was as if some inexplicable thing was influencing their minds.

Feng Xixi’s eyes gradually turned blood red, while the spiritual sense of the cultivator within her warned of something vicious forming ahead.

This sense of danger was like a steel needle, continuously stabbing at her back, making her want to flee the battlefield without a second thought.

Just then, as a Black Lotus Cultist fell, their blood seeped into the earth, seemingly satisfying the requirements of a certain rite.

Above the altar, the unfinished statue of the Black Lotus Venerable began to ooze traces of blood-red color.

A terrifying whirlpool formed, within which the semblance of a deity seemed to emerge.

Shrouded in black, with three faces and six arms, its limbs twisted, exuding agony...

...

Above the firmament.

Tong Baixiao was intimidated by the aura of the Evil God emanating from the ground, his mind momentarily dazed.

In the void, a glimmer of sword light suddenly appeared.

This streak of sword light, like a line of silver, carried unmatched sharpness as it pierced down like a sword that could shatter all spells!

Divine Power Sword Control!

In the face of such swordsmanship, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword of the Gang Sha Cultivator was as laughable as child’s play.

"Who wants to kill me?"

Tong Baixiao was shocked and furious, his protective divine power instantly activated.

The Daoist Skill he had cultivated was called the Taiyin Scripture. When practiced to the extreme, one could extract the True Water of Taiyin, endlessly wondrous in its uses.

However, he had only mastered it halfway, capable of condensing only some essence of Gui Water, but that was enough to safeguard his life.

With a single thought, a Gui Water True Form Shield emerged before Tong Baixiao, enveloping his entire body and isolating him from all spells.

It also carried an extreme chill with it, freezing enemies.

But the flying sword merely flicked lightly, as if even the chill was directly slain by it. A gleam of cold light on the blade split open the Gui Water True Form Shield, cutting Tong Baixiao in two.

Not only that, thousands of streams of Xuanyin Sword Qi suddenly exploded, giving the Divine Power Practitioner no chance, completely obliterating both body and spirit!

On the ground, Feng Xixi was being beaten until she coughed up blood by a suddenly frenzied Black Lotus Cultist.

Then, to her surprise, she saw the cultist scream as sharp bone spurs protruded from their body.

Crack!

A White Bone Demon tore through the flesh to emerge.

It was as if this skeleton was the true self, shedding its fleshly shell to reveal its genuine face to the world.

Across the land, white bone spears rose, impaling the Black Lotus Cultists.

This piece of the world seemed to be imbued with the ’white bone’ concept, as horde after horde of White Bone Demons formed an armed force, entwining with each other to become a towering Ten Thousand Bone Demon!

"Is this... the White Bone Divine Ability?"

Lin Fengxi’er immediately thought of something at this very familiar scene, her expression continuously changing.

These White Bone Demons, indifferent to anything, began a massacre of both the Daoist Officials and Black Lotus Sect Disciples.

Especially the small team led by Zhu Lie, which was quickly overrun by a swarm of White Bone Demons.

Zhu Lie screamed as he tried to flee, only to be caught by a White Bone Demon, which with a snap, twisted off his head...
