“Yin Canglong, are you going to keep resisting and play right into the hands of these remnants?”
asked the Elder Tiancan coldly.
“I dare not!”
Yin Canglong clenched his teeth. “I’ll order an immediate forced attack on the Patriarch’s Hall!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples couldn’t help but show expressions of grief and anger in their eyes.
“Very well…”
Elder Tiancan’s voice was sharp, like the mournful cry of an owl at night. “As long as you remain loyal to the Tianmeng, the alliance naturally won’t treat you unfairly… When the time comes, you’ll personally enter the arena, and I’ll handle the outside troubles for you!”
“Thank you, Elder Tiancan!”
Yin Canglong bowed, his face dark as he walked away.
Elder Tiancan sneered, lightly stepped, and in an instant vanished more than ten zhang away.
“Jiejie… It seems Yin Canglong is displeased with you… Should we inform the Young Master and consider changing the sect leader of the Tianfeng Holy Land?”
A thin, wavering voice came from the shadows, neither male nor female, fluctuating between near and far.
“This might not be a bad idea. If we were to present the entire Tianfeng Holy Land as a gift during the Young Master’s wedding ceremony, he would surely be delighted…”
Elder Tiancan said. “However, taking such a significant action by directly activating our pawn in the Tianfeng Holy Land without prior consultation will have consequences we must consider… After all, the Young Master only assigned us the task of surveillance…”
“This couldn’t be helped. That Immortal Healing Art is truly formidable. If he manages to heal the old fox’s hidden injuries, it would be very troublesome for us. Our actions here can only be considered as decisive action at the right moment…”
The thin voice continued, “As for the original mission? Why not just capture him directly? After all, the two of us came out with this intention in mind… Even if we aren’t yet a match for the Young Master, together we can at least protect ourselves. Who in the world could rival us then? Or do you think that this Immortal could surpass the Young Master?”
“Of course not…”
Elder Tiancan smiled, his figure swift as the wind, heading toward the gate.
A shadow appeared behind him like a shadow following its form, ethereal and ghostlike, like a specter!
“They’re here!”
Wu Ming, standing tall atop the Crystal City, suddenly said.
“Senior?”
Yu Linglong asked in surprise, then immediately saw Wu Ming waving his hand. “There are two small nuisances that have been following me. You all go ahead and rescue the others. With Ge Baipo as a hostage, I’m sure a single sect branch won’t be able to do much to you…”
He had another unspoken thought.
Given the many favorable conditions he had already created, if they still couldn’t suppress the internal rebellion, he would have to start reconsidering whether the Tianfeng Holy Land was worth helping.
“I understand!”
In the next moment, not only Yan Cangxuan but also Yu Linglong saw the two astonishing beams of light rushing toward them. Suddenly, they transformed into two figures whose terrifying auras spread out, briefly hovering in the air like gods looking down indifferently. “The Immortal?”
“It’s Tiancan and Dique!”
Yan Cangxuan and Yu Linglong were momentarily stunned, then hurriedly fled like beaten dogs. They had originally hoped Wu Ming could quickly deal with this situation and then rush to reinforce them, but now they had no such illusions at all.
“The two top experts on the Tianxiang List? I’ve heard that if you work together, even a Wind-Storming Martial Sage would dare to challenge you?”
Wu Ming looked at the two figures before him.
Indeed, Tiancan and Dique had distinctive features. Half of Tiancan’s face was missing, while Dique was short and small like a dwarf, hiding in the shadows.
“Jiejie…”
Elder Tiancan cackled. “You dare to disrupt our Young Master’s plans. Your audacity is indeed quite big… Although he still wants to meet you personally, as his subordinates, how could we let our master suffer so much? We should capture you and bring you to him!”
“Capture me?”
Wu Ming’s expression shifted slightly, as if somewhat amused. “With just this sneak attack?”
As he spoke, he stomped his foot.
Boom!
In the midst of heaven-shaking earth-trembling force, the crystal city wall within a radius of more than ten zhang collapsed, and within the pitch-black cracks, a dark shadow quickly flashed, revealing the true form of the Dique child.
“How did you see through my hiding technique?”
His voice came, filled with disbelief.
Puh!
At this moment, the illusory figure standing shoulder to shoulder with Elder Tiancan slowly dissolved, revealing it was merely an illusion created through arcane skills!
When martial arts reach such a level, they are indistinguishable from sorcery!
“Hmm… You two, possessing the divine skills of both the Tianyuan and Di Ji sects, and both being Tianxiang-level experts, are indeed quite impressive!”
Wu Ming nodded, as the void within his dantian rotated like a golden core, unleashing boundless true energy and immense power. “You two are perfect test subjects. Don’t let me break you too quickly! I sincerely hope you can last a few more rounds!”
Crack!
In the next instant, the Xuan Shui Zhen Fa surged forth, transforming into torrential rain sweeping across the sky like a mighty river!
“What a big mouth you have!”
Dique child raised both hands, and BOOM!
The earth cracked open, revealing a spider-web-like fissure. “Among the Eight Divisions of the Martial Emperor, the Heaven and Earth are the most revered! Thus, our Tianyuan and Di Ji divisions are the leaders of the eight. Heaven and Earth nourish each other, with infinite transformations. Daring to fight the two of us alone is the biggest mistake of your life!”
Bang!
Before he even finished speaking, he was slapped into the ground by a giant crystal palm. “Talk too much!”
The water surged, forming nine water dragons swirling around Wu Ming, surging like a mighty river, rising to the heavens with tremendous force.
“Xuan Shui surges endlessly, cleansing the Tianxiang!”
Swish!
The wind blew fiercely, and the rain poured heavily. In the void, it seemed as if a mighty river appeared, winding and twisting, transforming into countless waves.
Each time it circled back and forth, and with the surging of the waves, it accumulated power, finally forming a force that even Tiancan and Dique had to admire.
“Xuan Shui Zhen Fa – The Endless Turning Waves!”
Wu Ming, hidden within the mighty river, unleashed a tidal wave of palm force like a dragon sweeping everything away.
Boom!
The revered Tianfeng ancestral hall, the dream destination for countless martial artists, was immediately hit by a catastrophe.
Countless crystal buildings and golden jade palaces were swept away by the water, shattered into pieces, and devastated.
“This is impossible!”
Dique child, hit by several waves, finally couldn’t hold back his shock and cried out in alarm as he flew backward. “Tiancan!”
“Tian Qing Hui Feng Palm!”
Elder Tiancan shot forward like lightning, his hands releasing unparalleled force, all-encompassing, forming a whirlwind howling aura of azure, blocking the flood.
“Excellent martial arts!”
“Profound inner strength!”
After one move, both Tiancan and Dique were astonished. “We originally thought no one in the world could rival our Young Master, but now we’ve encountered someone!”
Their faces turned solemn. “Immortal Wu Ming! If you remain in this world, you will surely become the greatest obstacle to our Young Master. Today, even if it costs us our lives, we must stop you here!”
“Oh?”
Wu Ming stood atop the waves with his hands behind his back, not a speck of dirt on his clothes, like a noble son out for a stroll in the mountains and rivers, slightly pondering. “Qian is heaven, Kun is earth; when heaven and earth meet, there is great harmony. The martial arts of Qian and Kun have always been complementary and synergistic. Since you two have named yourselves Tiancan and Dique, you must have grasped that subtle opportunity in between. Let’s see you try to use it…”
His eyes gleamed with intense light, determined to push Tiancan and Dique to their limits to gain a deeper understanding of the secrets within the two sects’ divine techniques.
Tiancan Elder and Dique Child exchanged a glance, then suddenly joined their left and right hands together. The true qi of the Tianbu and Dibu sects quickly fused and converged, creating a mysterious and unfathomable change.
“We can only maintain this move briefly; the original idea came from our Young Master… Immortal, although you are exceptionally talented, you still can’t compare to our Young Master!”
Both shouted fiercely, their power reaching its peak, with the illusions of two mighty beasts appearing behind them.
Tian Feng! Di Long!
The dragon and phoenix harmonized, complementing each other, then suddenly vanished.
“Tiancan Dique, the sorrow of dragon and phoenix together!”
From this annihilation, a supreme and terrifying force was suddenly born, sweeping toward Wu Ming.
“So that’s how it is, you two are using your own bloodline to launch an attack? Each time you strike, you consume the accumulated essence of your bloodline, making it a desperate move!”
Wu Ming’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Unfortunately, my Xuan Shui Zhen Fa is sufficient to bear the entire Dao of heaven and earth. Your deficient power is nothing but nourishment for me!”
His voice was cold and flat, yet audible throughout the battlefield.
“The Three Thousand Dao return to me, the Xuan Shui True Method, the Eight Divisions of Divine Power, unify!”
Swish!
A phantom river appeared, seeming to flow from the past, through the present, rushing toward the future, piercing through everything.
With just one sweep of the towering waves, the lingering shadows of Tian Feng and Di Long vanished in an instant.
The illusions dissipated, and Tiancan Elder and Dique Child looked at Wu Ming, who accurately and precisely grabbed their wrists, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
“Thank you both, I now know enough about the secrets of the Qian and Kun sects…”
Wu Ming smiled faintly, which in the eyes of the two opponents seemed like a sinister grin worthy of any ghost or god.
Zhi la!
The Xuan Shui true energy surged like a mighty river, entering their bodies, like a dam breaking, unleashing a world-destroying flood, mercilessly destroying everything in its path.
Pu!
Tiancan and Dique spat out blood mist, their meridians severed inch by inch, collapsing to the ground, their hair instantly whitening, their aged faces emerging.
“Shen… Shen Mo (God… Demon)!”
Elder Tiancan’s single eye was murky as he murmured.
He couldn’t believe that there was a Tianxiang martial artist in the world capable of defeating him and Dique Child with a single strike!
The only possibility was that Wu Ming had long ceased to be a Tianxiang martial artist and had already forged a divine demon body!
“Indeed…”
Wu Ming murmured, his Xuan Shui Zhen Fa’s inner strength was indeed the strongest in the world, encompassing all things. In terms of adaptability and transformation of true energy, even the divine techniques of the Qian sect could not compare.
Qian and Kun, heaven and earth, both carried the meaning of inclusiveness.
Therefore, the martial arts of these two sects could encompass wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, serving as the foundation of the Martial Emperor’s legacy. The Tianyuan and Di Ji holy lands were also the leaders among all holy lands.
However, the Xuan Shui Zhen Fa was not about inclusiveness; it directly manifested the origin, generating the power of the five elements.
Taiji begat Liangyi, Liangyi begat Sikuang, Sikuang begat Bagua!
The Xuan Shui Zhen Fa was the original Taiji, incomparable to the Tian sect’s technique, which was merely an imitation of the Taiji.
