Chapter 42 Lao Tzu: Fellow Daoist Styx, excellent methods. I will remember this grudge (3)
"Fellow Daoist Styx, we acknowledge your abilities, but this kind of pretentious mystification is surely showing a lack of respect for us—and for all the great powers of the prehistoric world," Laozi said calmly, holding his Dragon-Panding Staff.
"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Laozi? I really can't understand it."
In any case, that was the decision of the Dao Ancestor, and I can only support it.
"The path that Dao Ancestor has walked is longer than any of ours combined, and the future that Dao Ancestor has seen is also far farther than ours. Dao Ancestor—" Styx looked at Laozi before him and continued.
Enough!
"Stop involving the teacher in everything! If it weren't for your instigation, things wouldn't have turned out this way!" Although Tongtian was straightforward and not good at scheming, he knew he couldn't let Minghe continue.
Especially since this is the Zixiao Palace.
To be honest, if they had a choice, they wouldn't want to take action outside Zixiao Palace. Firstly, it would be too conspicuous, and secondly, it would inevitably lead to contact with the Dao Ancestor. But they simply had no other choice.
If Styx were to return to the Blood Sea, even with his elder brother's quasi-saint level cultivation, he would likely be unable to deal with Styx for the time being. However, if the matter were to drag on for too long, it would inevitably delay his and his elder brother's cultivation.
It should be noted that after the Ten Yuan Gathering, there will be the Three Lectures at Zixiao Palace. However, to defeat the Styx River above the Blood Sea, the mere Ten Yuan Gathering is far from enough.
A gust of wind rises from the tip of a blade of grass, and boundless sword energy sweeps through the chaos, heading straight for the River Styx.
Laozi attacked simultaneously, his Panlong Crutch transforming into a golden dragon that crashed into the Styx River. After all, he was already a Quasi-Saint of the Corpse Realm, and his power far surpassed that of Tongtian, who was still a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"You two are true disciples of Pangu. I had no intention of arguing with you, but I have just received a reward from the Dao Ancestor. If I were to be timid and hesitant, I would be letting down the Dao Ancestor's expectations."
"For the sake of the Dao Ancestor, I have no choice but to do this. I apologize for the offense." With a flick of his Daoist robe, Styx's gourd unleashed a terrifying sword intent, which transformed into a long sword and fell into Styx's palm. It was none other than the Yuan Tu Sword.
Faced with the combined attack of Laozi and Tongtian, Styx did not activate his spiritual treasure for defense. With a casual wave of his Yuan Tu Sword, he annihilated the attacks of the two. The terrifying aftershocks shook away the disordered earth, water, wind and fire, blasting a void in the chaos. But soon, the boundless earth, water, wind and fire filled the void again.
The terrifying aftershocks even forced many powerful onlookers back a great distance, a scene that caused the vast majority of the three thousand guests of Zixiao to change their expressions.
Dongwanggong silently withdrew his dragon-headed staff, abandoning his intention to intervene.
Among the powerful beings present, anyone who wasn't blinded by the Three Corpses could tell that Styx's strength was probably above that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The only thing they can do in this contest is to stay out of the picture; therefore, it's best for them to retreat.
Lingbao is good, innate treasures are even better, the foundation for becoming a saint, and primordial purple qi is also good. It's good to obtain them, but—you must be alive to enjoy them.
"This move is to repay the Dao Ancestor." Styx stood on the moral high ground, pointing at Laozi and Tongtian, and then activated the Yuan Tu Sword. This sword, which combined the purest Dao of killing and the Dao of sword, slashed at Laozi and Tongtian.
"Not good! Eldest brother, third brother, be careful!" Yuanshi's expression changed as he sensed the terrifying killing intent emanating from the Styx Sword. How many lives must have been slaughtered to forge such a Dao of Slaughter?
Lao Tzu felt the power of this sword and dared not be negligent. The Xuanhuang Pagoda above him lowered boundless Xuanhuang Qi to protect him and Tongtian within it.
He sensed it; Styx's cultivation was no less than his own!
How is that possible!
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Styx River did not kill the household, so there can only be—
Before he could think any further, the Styx sword energy was already in front of him. Even with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a supreme defensive treasure, the terrifying sword energy still made Laozi's heart heavy.
The terrifying sword energy of slaughter washed over the Xuanhuang Qi hanging from the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, causing waves of turbulence. Laozi did his best to use all his magic power to maintain the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and hold off the Styx River. Tongtian, who was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, felt the earth shake even with Laozi's protection.
If it were an ordinary Quasi-Saint, even if he were to unleash his full power in a single strike, he would likely find it difficult to cause the slightest ripple under the defense of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit.
The sharpness of the Yuan Tu Sword could not break through the protection of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, but at this moment, the Styx River was far stronger than Laozi.
But at this moment, with his cultivation as a Primordial Golden Immortal and his well-refined Dao of Slaughter, Styx was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort against Laozi's newly broken through to the Quasi-Saint level and whose cultivation was not yet stable.
"How could this be! How could the pagoda shake?" Tongtian looked at the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which had been shaken in just one move, and couldn't believe it. In the countless years before, the Three Pure Ones had also encountered powerful enemies who didn't know their own limitations, but no matter what the enemy was, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had never shaken.
Yuanshi looked at Laozi and Tongtian at this moment, his face turning ashen. In his view, the Styx River actually dared to kill them, the true lineage of Pangu!
Moreover, even at this point, this hypocritical traitor still dragged Dao Ancestor into the matter, shamelessly claiming that he fought this battle for Dao Ancestor!
If the eldest brother hadn't reacted in time, or if his reaction had been even a fraction slower, he would have probably killed both the eldest brother and the third brother. Wasn't he afraid of divine retribution?
At this moment, the slaughter sword energy continued to erode the defenses of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, flowing endlessly like a surging river. The Profound Yellow Qi wavered several times, but Laozi used his great power to stabilize the defenses.
"How could this be!" Lao Tzu was also somewhat incredulous. He cultivated the Way of Non-Action, emphasizing the supreme state of detachment from emotions. But no matter how detached he was, a self-proclaimed invincible expert could not remain indifferent when facing an existence that was originally inferior to him but could now easily suppress him!
Looking at the still calm and serene Styx River, Laozi's heart sank again. He was already struggling to maintain the defense of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda against the Styx River, and this was only with the help of a supreme defensive treasure. Without the pagoda, he feared—
Upon seeing this, Tongtian hurriedly released his magic power to enhance the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, but since he was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the effect was minimal.
Yuanshi tightly held onto the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Now, he could no longer afford to worry about the Dao Ancestor's confinement order. Just as Yuanshi was about to make his move, an unexpected turn of events once again stunned all the powerful beings present.
"Fellow Daoist Laozi, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I am here to help you!"
"Minghe, you have committed many evils, and today is your retribution!" Looking at Minghe, who was locked in a stalemate with Laozi and Tongtian and had "no time to look at anything else," and at the Yuantu Sword, whose sharpness was even greater in the "Minghe Gourd," Kunpeng could no longer bear it. At the same time, he felt that the opportunity had come. His eyes were bloodshot, and he attacked Minghe from behind at an extremely fast speed.
Normally, Kunpeng wouldn't be like this, but at this moment, Kunpeng, whose mind was unsettled, could no longer care about so many things.
Everything of that originally belonged to him!
Now, he wants to take it back, to reclaim what is rightfully his!
"Ah!!! You were prepared." A shrill scream rang out. It was Kunpeng who had just made his move. In just a moment, he was hit by a Dinghai Pearl that Styx casually threw out, and his body was almost completely destroyed.
