NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1237: Tongtian Makes a Move
"The Seven Treasures Tree!?" As they gazed at the treasure tree appearing in the void, countless branches wound towards the Black-clothed Mystery Man, causing the faces of all the Quasi-saints present in the chaos to change slightly.
Particularly, the faces of Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe, among a few others, were especially grim.
Initially, they thought Wutian's words made some sense, so they refrained from taking action in the Void Realm, fearing the intervention of a Saint.
Unexpectedly, even with such precautions, they couldn't avoid it, and Zhunti still made a move.
Though his true form did not appear in the three realms and six paths, he personally threw over the Seven Treasures Tree!
"Stop right there!" Seeing the Seven Treasures Tree entwining towards the Black-clothed Mystery Man, anger crossed Kunpeng's face as he shouted, and the shattered Chaos Bell was struck forcefully.
An invisible soundwave spread over to block the movement of the Seven Treasures Tree as much as possible.
After having defeated Kong Xuan in the past, Kunpeng considered himself the strongest Quasi-saint.
However, when the soundwave of the Chaos Bell swept over the Seven Treasures Tree, it was not hindered and continued to wind towards the Black-clothed Mystery Man.
Kunpeng's attack seemed completely ineffective against the Seven Treasures Tree.
Following Kunpeng's move, almost all the Quasi-saints took action, leaving their opponents and launching attacks at the Seven Treasures Tree in unison.
Kunpeng's Chaos Bell, Zhao Gongming's Primordial Golden Dou, Minghe's Abi and Yuan Tu twin swords, Master Zhenyuan's Book of Earth, Wutian Buddha's spell supernatural power, Jade Emperor's Golden Divine Sword, Supreme Elder Lord's Vajra Bracelet, Master Wuchao's Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, Gaoyang's Green Duckweed Sword, even the Absolute Immortal Sword turned into blood rain, as well as the Quasi-saint powerhouses from the dragon, phoenix, and qilin tribes.
In fact, excluding Randeng Buddha and Tathagata, everyone launched an attack on the Seven Treasures Tree, Jiang Liu included.
The dense attacks from the strong Quasi-saints carried a world-destroying momentum.
The branches of the Seven Treasures Tree, hit by so many Quasi-saints' attacks, momentarily slowed down.
Yet, despite these Quasi-saints joining forces, they merely slowed the branches of the Seven Treasures Tree without stopping them.
Under everyone's gaze, the branches continued to wind towards the Black-clothed Mystery Man.
"Is this the power of a Saint? The combined combat power of over a dozen Quasi-saints can't even fend off this Seven Treasures Tree? This is just a Saint's treasure, and the Saint hasn't even descended yet!"
Witnessing how even the concentrated attacks of these Quasi-saints failed to stop the Seven Treasures Tree, Wutian Buddha felt internal shock.
The power of a Saint has entirely reached another level.
"To not achieve sainthood is ultimately to be an ant, this saying is indeed true!" Seeing this scene before him, Jiang Liu's heart was also shaken.
Over a dozen Quasi-saints, wielding many well-known treasures, are still unable to block a single Seven Treasures Tree remotely controlled by Zhunti?
This power of a Saint truly cannot be opposed by the number of Quasi-saints. Perhaps, even all the Quasi-saints in the world combined are no match for a single Saint?
For Jiang Liu, there arose a clearer understanding of the vast chasm between a Saint and a Quasi-saint.
Swish, swish, swish!
Regardless of how everyone felt when facing this scene, the Seven Treasures Tree, bearing the attacks of many Quasi-saints, continued to wind towards the Black-clothed Mystery Man, swiftly reaching in front of him…
However, just as the Black-clothed Mystery Man was about to be caught and taken away by the Seven Treasures Tree, suddenly, the Green Duckweed Sword in Gaoyang's hand escaped his control, flew up, and aligned in front of the Black-clothed Mystery Man, its sharp sword light shining brightly.
The previously unstoppable Seven Treasures Tree, invincible to any resistance, suddenly recoiled its branches swiftly as if electrocuted at the appearance of the sword light from the Green Duckweed Sword.
The branches that had extended so long recoiled, returning to their original size.
Simultaneously, everyone could see several sword marks appearing on the trunks of the Seven Treasures Tree, and a few leaves fell along as well.
"Has Sect Master Tongtian intervened as well?" Seeing the Green Duckweed Sword repelling the Seven Treasures Tree without result, everyone present understood what was happening.
Despite the combined efforts of a dozen Quasi-saints failing against the Seven Treasures Tree, the sudden ability of the Green Duckweed Sword to make it retreat could only mean Sect Master Tongtian's intervention.
After all, only a Saint can withstand a Saint!
"Zhunti, you actually disregard decorum by attacking juniors, I am ashamed to stand with you as a Saint!" After the sword blocked the Seven Treasures Tree, a clear voice rang through the heavens and earth.
"Disciple greets Master!" With the sound of the voice, Zhao Gongming appeared both excited and guilty, yet he loudly called out to the sky.
"Tongtian, their chaos within the three realms might cause harm to the three realms..." Zhunti's voice sounded again, clearly annoyed and furious due to the Seven Treasures Tree being damaged.
"If it is so, our teacher will naturally intervene, so there is no need for you to worry about so much!" Sect Master Tongtian's voice rang out again, directly cutting off Zhunti's words.
"As we stand as Venerable Sages, how can we sit back and watch..." Zhunti's voice was getting somewhat exasperated.
"Zhunti, now I feel my swordsmanship seems to have made some progress. I invite you, Taoist Friend Zhunti, to spar with me..." But once again, not giving Zhunti a chance to finish his sentence, the voice of Sect Master Tongtian sounded again.
This remark made Zhunti fall silent, as the combat methods of Sect Master Tongtian are considered the strongest among the Six Saints. How could Zhunti not know?
What did he say? His swordsmanship has improved again? Is it true?
Well, whether it's true or not, I am no match for him.
However, while Zhunti was silent, Sect Master Tongtian had no intention of staying silent. The Green Duckweed Sword directly slashed towards the Seven Treasures Tree.
In an instant, both treasures left this world and quickly went to the Void Realm.
Presumably, in the Void Realm, these two Saints are going to battle it out, right?
No, more accurately, it is probably that Sect Master Tongtian is "again" going to beat Zhunti, right?
For these Quasi-Saints, the appearance of Sect Master Tongtian is indeed a good thing, as it prevents them from being robbed of Hongmeng Purple Qi by a Saint.
However, after Zhunti was blocked, the melee among the Quasi-Saints continued again.
"Alas, things have gotten troublesome..." Although Zhunti was blocked, Jiang Liu's mood was also good, but he secretly sighed in his heart.
Originally, with the Green Duckweed Sword in hand, Gaoyang also counted as having a Quasi-Saint level combat power, but now that the Green Duckweed Sword was taken to fight Zhunti, Gaoyang's strength naturally dropped sharply.
If it weren't for the defensive ability of the Lotus Fairy Skirt, Gaoyang almost wouldn't even qualify to appear on this Quasi-Saints melee battlefield.
Xueyu, holding the Absolute Immortal Sword, also touched the threshold of Quasi-Saint in attack. Seeing that Gaoyang no longer had the Green Duckweed Sword, while fighting, Xueyu's figure slowly moved towards Gaoyang, and the mother and daughter teamed up together, having a certain self-preservation ability on this battlefield.
"The current situation is very troublesome!" Looking at the current chaotic battle among the Quasi-Saints, Jiang Liu's heart was secretly heavy.
In this situation, wanting to save the Evil Corpse is too difficult, what to do?
"It seems there is only one way..." After thinking it over, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers has its own space. If I think of a way to collect the Evil Corpse into it, even the mysterious man in black would be in my hands, right?
Given my current status, Tathagata and Randeng Buddha would surely stand by my side, at least gaining two more allies, let's escape first and talk about it later.
As for after escaping, if Tathagata and Randeng Buddha want to seize the mysterious man in black from my hands, we'll talk about it then.
Given the current situation, we can only take it one step at a time!
With this thought in mind, Jiang Liu sent a message to the Evil Corpse, signaling him to cooperate with him. At the same time, Jiang Liu's figure inconspicuously moved towards the Evil Corpse.
After a melee, Kunpeng seized an opportunity, came to the Evil Corpse's side, and reached out its claw towards him.
Kunpeng's intentions were simple, its speed was the fastest in the world, and if it seized the mysterious man in black, it would escape immediately.
As long as it could successfully escape, it could slowly extract the Hongmeng Purple Qi from him.
Silencing Zen!
However, as Jiang Liu, who had been waiting for the opportunity, saw this scene, the Witch-Slaying Sword pointed at Kunpeng, and the skill of Silencing Zen was unleashed on him, instantly binding the power within Kunpeng, making it difficult to mobilize.
Immediately afterward, in front of Kunpeng, Jiang Liu swung the Map of Mountains and Rivers in his hand directly towards the Evil Corpse.
Misty light shone on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and immediately, the figure of the Evil Corpse was directly collected into the Map of Mountains and Rivers by Jiang Liu.
Seeing Jiang Liu collect the Evil Corpse, the faces of the Quasi-Saints present changed, should they make a move on Xuanzang next?
After all, it is still during the outbreak of the Immeasurable Kalpa!
Taking advantage of the moment the Quasi-Saints were stunned, Jiang Liu quickly withdrew, and at the same time, Tathagata and Randeng reacted very quickly, protecting Jiang Liu on the left and right.
Similarly, Zhao Gongming, Gaoyang, and Xueyu also stood as the second perimeter, quickly withdrawing the group.
However, just as Jiang Liu and the others were leaving Gale Gorge, suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Inkstone in Randeng Buddha's hand was raised and directly hit Jiang Liu's head.
Heaven and Earth Inkstone (Divine Level): Requires Level 91, Attack Power +880 million, Special Effect: Striking the target's head with this item can cause a 1-second stun effect, no cooldown, never wears out. Note: Rumor has it that this treasure was transformed from the Treasure Distribution Rock of the Hongjun Ancestor in ancient times.
Being hit, Jiang Liu felt dizzy, while the Map of Mountains and Rivers in his hand fell into Randeng Buddha's hand.
