Summit of the Old Gods

"Damn it!"

Elder Xing cursed angrily, wielding a blood-colored scimitar, fiercely slashing apart the annoying sand whip.

At this moment, he desperately missed the magical treasure, the Tianfeng Jade Pendant.

If the magical treasure were still around, he would have long since unleashed waves of chaotic airflow, overturning everything around him.

Nor would he be hit on the head by collapsing rocks, or have his mouth and nose filled with the churning Flowing Sand River!

And these sand whips wouldn't even get close to him!

Unfortunately, on the night Sword Ridge Peak was annihilated, to escape from Peak Master, he didn't hesitate to use his magic artifact, and the jade pendant was shattered by Peak Master...

It's truly the plight of a tiger fallen to the plains, bullied by dogs!

Elder Xing thought resentfully, not caring to discern who the "dog" bullying him was, and prepared to fly away from this place.

However, in the next moment, Elder Xing's expression changed as he turned to look back.

Only to see a mighty figure descend from the sky, tens of meters away.

The man wore a wide white robe, his hair tied in a high ponytail, and held an unusually ornate Sky-piercing Halberd.

His eyes were incomparably cold, showing no trace of emotion.

"Whoosh~"

The cold wind blew, and frost and snow whirled chaotically.

The man's long ponytail danced horizontally in the air, along with the tail of his wide white robe.

He looked exceptionally valiant!

Indeed, Lu Ran's taste in clothes was quite good, because the white robe Wu Xiao was wearing belonged to Lu Ran.

It was given to him personally by the great Sect Leader Lu on the day he subdued Wu Xiao, by the brook at Qianhua Ridge.

"Damn it." Elder Xing's heart sank.

He knew well that he had encountered an opponent of the same rank!

When believers' strength reaches the Sea Realm, even small differences in ranks can be quite significant.

In terms of physical attributes, divine technique strength, and personal charisma, a Sea Realm peak can look down upon those at the low to high stages of the Sea Realm.

And the halberd-wielding figure before him was undoubtedly at the Sea Realm peak!

The king among kings!

"Whoosh~" Elder Xing wrapped himself in gusts of wind, darting to the left front, his blood-colored scimitar slicing out a blood moon, shattering several sand whips again.

Wu Xiao also darted rapidly!

In terms of sheer speed, the Wusheng Sect indeed wasn't a match for the North Wind Sect.

But the Martial Artist Divine Skill·Yan Lingfan's speed should not be underestimated either!

Besides, Wu Xiao couldn't just purely pursue, allowing the enemy to escape; he released a unique high-pitched tone from his mouth:

"Eee~~~"

Elder Xing's face changed drastically!

The Martial Monk Divine Skill·Opera Soul Tone caused both his form and spirit to tremble, nearly making his forward-flying figure crash down.

Elder Xing couldn't care about much more, hurriedly deactivating Divine Technique·Wind Listening.

The North Wind Sect's proud auditory prowess almost cost Elder Xing his life at this moment!

As he fled, he glanced diagonally backward, only to see six blue and white command flags floating out from behind the white-robed youth.

A First-class God·Disciple of the Martial Artist Sect!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Elder Xing quickly flung a hand backward, casting a wide array of wind blades.

Wu Xiao remained expressionless, neither dodging nor weaving, continuing to dart forward at great speed.

Amidst the dense array of wind blades, Wu Xiao maneuvered and wove, left to right, without slowing his forward momentum in the slightest.

Every wind blade would be deflected before it could pierce him.

Elder Xing's face turned impossibly grim!

He wanted to control the wind blades, but the unique high-pitched tone agitated his soul, leaving him unable to micro-manage!

"You... damn it!" Elder Xing cursed loudly, trying to use his angry shout to curb the fear in his heart, his energy surging.

"Whoosh!!"

A tornado unfolded.

North Wind Divine Skill·North Wind Howl!

As strong as Wu Xiao was, he couldn't dodge the sudden storm.

But... Wu Xiao didn't really need to dodge!

The Sea Realm peak Great Martial Artist, as light as a swift swallow, took advantage of the storm, spun around within it, and "whoosh" emerged again.

The terrifying tornado failed to trap the enemy; it became his propulsion device instead!

For a moment, Wu Xiao's flying speed increased even more.

"Daoist, Daoist!" Elder Xing's demeanor changed; he stopped cursing, "Hold on, Daoist!"

"Eee~~~"

The response to Elder Xing was still the Opera Soul Tone of the Martial Artist Sect.

Elder Xing was utterly anxious, tremulously speaking: "You, we've never met, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?"

A low voice came from above.

Elder Xing looked up.

His already frightened old face turned even paler.

The white-robed martial artist behind him was enough to deal with.

And now, an emperor-robed youth had appeared?

Just two words, carrying an endless air of authority, as if a true young emperor stood above.

Under Lu Ran's collar, the Ink Jade Tiger Talisman trembled continuously.

Speak, master!

Say something more...

"Old... ah, this old man has never offended..."

Elder Xing called out bitterly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The pursuing Great Martial Artist behind him saw that the sect leader wanted to converse with the elder, so he didn't act, but the Opera Soul Tone kept going!

"Heh, never offended." The emperor-robed youth smiled, looking down at the shivering old man, transmitting in thought, [Evil Shadow, go and borrow the Ice Heart Bracelet from Ruyi, and wear it.]

[Yes.]

Previously, when Yan Shuangzi accompanied Lu Ran in destroying the Ice Plum Demon Queen's clan, she borrowed this magical artifact to build her own mental defense system.

When she came beside Jiang Ruyi and stated her intention, explaining that it was Lu Ran's wish, Jiang Ruyi didn't hesitate.

The Jiang Fairy raised her delicate hand, and the Ice Heart Bracelet flew out automatically.

Her cold eyes rarefied with a hint of warmth, she softly said, "May you fulfill your wish."

"Thank you, Lady." Yan Shuangzi quickly donned the Ice Heart Bracelet, feeling waves of coolness rising to her heart.

She suddenly turned her head, seeing a Blood Jade Ring flying towards her.

Following the direction from which the magical treasure Blood Jade Ring flew, Yan Shuangzi looked far, seeing Deng Yuxiang standing proudly in the sky.

She also saw her friend's eyes filled with encouragement.

Yan Shuangzi raised her hand, the Blood Jade Ring emanating a blood-red glow, automatically slipping onto her middle finger.

[Evil Shadow.]

Yan Shuangzi pursed her lips, turning her gaze to the distant horizon.

Two shadows, one black and one white, surrounded Elder Xing from front and back, with the young man in the Emperor Robe reaching out to the left, summoning her.

"Daoist, why push to the brink? I've roamed the Mountain Realm for many years and know a lot of information. I consider my combat prowess decent. If you don't mind..."

Elder Xing's words were cut short as his murky eyes slightly widened.

A tall, slender charm shadow silently appeared.

The young man's hand reaching left gently fell onto the woman's shoulder.

"Yan... Yan..." Elder Xing's lips trembled, unable to form a complete name.

It's over!

All is lost!

Did this vile woman gather this group of powerful ones?

Damn it!

I should have killed you then...

Killed you directly!!

"Ugh." Elder Xing shivered involuntarily.

The anger swelling in his heart lasted only a few seconds before it was replaced by fear.

The Opera Soul Tone, like a background noise, relentlessly shook his heart and soul.

Elder Xing had no right to be angry, but Yan Shuangzi did.

She gripped the枭 Ling Blade tightly, her eyes fixed on the wrinkled old face, wishing to cut him into pieces!

"Everyone, don't listen to a word from this demoness! She speaks deceitful words, shows great disrespect to the Lord God, and dares to defy the will of the Lord God..."

Listening to Elder Xing's words, Yan Shuangzi's body also began to tremble.

Not from fear, but from anger.

Extreme anger!

Lu Ran almost laughed.

As expected from an old fool, with such rigid thinking, indeed beyond remedy.

Changing a person's mind is hard.

Changing a person's belief is even harder.

Lu Ran thought Elder Xing was going to blindfold his eyes, cover his ears, and continue to worship the North Wind.

He never expected...

This was a true believer!

Even the realistic Holy Spirit Mountain couldn't wake him.

"Old fool!" Lu Ran suddenly interrupted.

Elder Xing's words came to a halt.

Lu Ran sneered, "A truly high-ranking and powerful elder, huh? All these years, has everyone only dared to tell you what you want to hear?

Do you really think the world is as you see it, with everyone devoutly worshiping the god you imagine?"

Elder Xing looked extremely displeased.

Lu Ran rubbed Yan Shuangzi's back, his gaze fixed on Elder Xing, softly saying:

"Listen closely, the Lord Beifeng you worship is, in my eyes, worse than pigs and dogs."

Elder Xing: !!!

Lu Ran's words were light, yet it was like a heavy hammer, fiercely striking Elder Xing's heart.

No one has ever dared to be so rebellious!

No one has ever dared to openly insult the Lord God!

Never before!

"Ah!!" Lu Ran suddenly spoke, from his forward-reaching hand shot five red silk threads.

The invisible sound waves spread like an amplifier, instantly enveloping Elder Xing's tall, slender body.

Sea Merfolk Evil Technique·Sea Merfolk Song!

"Ahhhh!" Elder Xing instinctively covered his ears with both hands.

On a physical level, his head ached as if splitting, and on a mental level, his mind was muddled, spirit dazed!

"Eeee~~~"

Wu Xiao, upon receiving Lu Ran's gaze, immediately increased the volume, similarly launching a mental assault on Elder Xing.

In an extremely short time, Elder Xing suffered a double mental assault, plummeting from the air.

However, five red silk threads adhered to his body, lifting him back into the air.

"Ding!!"

A blood-colored curved blade attempted a rescue, cutting through the silk threads.

The Eight Desolate Blade swiftly stabbed forward, overpoweringly knocking away a first-rank divine weapon, charging again.

"Go." Lu Ran stopped the Sea Merfolk Song, patting Yan Shuangzi's back.

"Swoosh~"

The evil shadow struck suddenly, the枭 Ling Blade cleaved horizontally.

The sound of shattering echoed through the sky, the extremely unstable Sea Grade·Shattering Wind Armor was shattered by Yan Shuangzi's slash!

The Water Flow Armor was also torn open, revealing a deep, bone-visible wound, blood spurting outward.

"Ah..." Elder Xing screamed miserably.

His whole body's energy surged, trying to ignore the violent chaotic divine power within and forcibly cast spells.

Suddenly, strips of sparkling silk thread attacked, also landing on Elder Xing.

From the lower right side, He Yingcai treaded on green lotus leaves, fingers releasing strips of lotus silk, sent to support the Sect Leader upon Lady Ran's command.

Ensuring that this punishment could proceed more securely.

Others dared not approach, but He Yingcai possessed Spirit Defense Techniques·Lotus Heart, could go anywhere!

Tethering Silk, Lotus Silk Connection.

Tangled Silk, Lotus Silk Chaos.

And that incessantly shaking body and soul, Opera Soul Tone.

Elder Xing's cloudy eyes widened, just hanging there in the air, punished and made an example.

Just like back on Sword Ridge Peak, what he had done to Yan Shuangzi, forcing her to kneel before everyone, letting all see how she was punished.

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle..."

One slash after another.

One spurt of blood after another.

Once, the blind dog tormented to the brink of death...

Has come back to bite!

"Ah... ahhhh!"

"Yan... ah! Stop, I am... I ahhhh..."

Elder Xing's wails couldn't ease the hatred in the woman's eyes.

Instead, it intensified.

The anger in her heart swelled, her actions became fiercer.

And the divine weapon in her hand,枭 Ling Blade, trembled more violently...
