The Way of the Extraordinary

In a clear and bright pillar of light, a goddess in colorful attire gracefully descended, her phoenix eyes like lightning, surveying the situation within the cabin.

Upon seeing her disciple after a millennium, the Chunyang Zhangjiao's expression suddenly twisted, her beautiful eyes flashing with loathing, fear, and boundless hatred.

The aura of a peak Dominator... Although what descended was merely an avatar, the Third Protector and Sixth Elder couldn't help but tense up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang fixed her gaze on the elegant air hostess, her voice crisp and cold:

"Shizun, it has been many years since we last met. You still maintain this inhuman, ghostly appearance. This disciple is deeply saddened, and will send you into reincarnation, to be reborn as a proper human being."

'Eh, the old hag is quite the sharp-tongued one, that's some serious mockery...' Zhang Yuanqing thought, as he removed his sliding shoes and leaned towards the Niangniang.

As expected, the mentally deranged Chunyang Zhangjiao's face instantly contorted, and she roared hoarsely:

"Zhao Youqing, you treacherous disciple who deceives her Shizun and destroys her ancestor! Don't think you can survive by hiding in The Way of the Extraordinary. I will eventually recover to my peak, step into the Immortal Realm, and then, I will pursue you to the ends of the earth to slay you..." Zhao Youqing, so that's the Niangniang's name, Zhang Yuanqing noted silently.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang scoffed lightly, and with fingers like a sword, shot out a sharp ray of golden light.

The Chunyang Zhangjiao's tone immediately shifted: "...Protector, save me!"

The Third Protector reached behind his head into the blazing sun and pulled out a golden light-condensed longsword, stepping forward to slash.

Golden light collided with golden light, simultaneously disintegrating, creating scorching hot turbulent currents within the cabin, melting chairs, tables, and carpets.

Zhang Yuanqing was buffeted by the heat, his skin instantly reddening, like a cooked shrimp.

The Chunyang Zhangjiao retreated while shouting: "She is only an avatar, she cannot last for long. You two exhaust her avatar's power, and don't let Yuan Shi Tianzun escape."

As her voice fell, the Sixth Elder raised his head, deep, transparent whirlpools appearing in his eye sockets, attempting to pull the Sandaoshan Niangniang into a dreamscape.

The opponent was a high-level Sun Wanderer, possessing inherent purification effects. Manipulating emotions, illusions, and amplifying obsessions were unlikely to be effective in the short term.

Furthermore, mental attacks would not affect a Sun Wanderer, as they also possessed a powerful spiritual essence.

A Level 9 Illusionist's spiritual essence annihilation could severely injure a Sun Wanderer, but if he were a peak Dominator, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Currently, the only effective means to target the Sandaoshan Niangniang was dream manipulation. In a dream, he had absolute confidence in suppressing her.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang's eyes turned into molten gold pupils, and with a flash of light...

The Sixth Elder groaned, as if struck on the head with a club, blood spurting from his nostrils.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang didn't look at him, but turned abruptly, raising her hand to grab the golden longsword slashed by the Third Protector.

"Crack!"

She casually crushed the golden longsword, and with her other hand, swiftly and violently struck the other's palm several times. With a loud, bell-like "dong" sound, the Third Protector flew backwards.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang waved her sleeve, throwing out a Demon Subduing Pestle.

This treasure of the Chunyang Sect transformed into a straight stream of light, shooting towards the Chunyang Zhangjiao, distorting the air within the cabin.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang's goal was clear – patricide!

With her avatar's power, even if she could suppress two Dominators, she couldn't kill them. But her Shizun, whose strength had not yet recovered to the Dominator realm, she could eliminate with a flip of her hand...

If this avatar only possessed the power of the sun, and lacked the skills of a Star Official or Night Wanderer, she would have already slain her Shizun.

"You treacherous disciple!" The Chunyang Zhangjiao was shocked.

The Third Protector, sliding backward, retracted the blazing sun behind his head. The skill's characteristics were ineffective against a Sun Wanderer. He opened his mouth and spat out numerous spirit servants, suicidally attacking the Demon Subduing Pestle.

The spirit servants were like moths drawn to a flame, screaming as they crashed into the oncoming golden light, dissipating into wisps of black smoke.

But this bought time for the Third Protector. He quickly stabilized his body, grabbed a black iron-forged ghost mask, and met the Demon Subduing Pestle.

In the dark eye sockets of the ghost mask, two scarlet lights appeared. The mouth, with protruding fangs, opened, biting down on the bronze pestle.

The mask's mouth spewed out a viscous, highly corrosive black mist, merging with the Demon Subduing Pestle's golden light, hissing loudly.

The golden light of the Demon Subduing Pestle visibly dimmed.

The ghost mask was a Dominator-level item of the Witch Gu Master class, its sole function being to corrode and pollute items.

The Demon Subduing Pestle, capable of purifying everything, was naturally not afraid of corrosion and pollution, but this opposing force did resist it.

On the other side, the Sixth Elder threw out six black paper talismans, sticking them to the walls, ceiling, and aisle of the cabin. Each of the six talismans extended a chain, wrapping around the Sandaoshan Niangniang's hands, feet, waist, and neck.

The old hag flicked her fingers, and six golden rays shot out, covering the paper talismans, trapping the newly extended illusory chains within the talismans.

'Is this the Sun Wanderer who mainly cultivates the sun? No fancy spells or items, but the power of the sun seems to suppress everything!' Zhang Yuanqing watched with envy.

With a flick of her fingers, she could suppress the Sixth Elder's items. With a wave of golden light, she could transform it into the sharpest sword in the world. With a single glance, she could break the dream-entering spell. The old hag's application of the power of the sun had reached the point of returning to simplicity.

Seeing his items being countered, the Sixth Elder raised his head and shrieked, unleashing a mental attack, this time targeting Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Zhang Yuanqing's brain jolted, as if steel nails were hammered into his skull, his soul feeling torn apart. Fortunately, after reaching Level 6 peak, his spiritual essence had become stronger, even a Dominator couldn't kill him with a single mental attack.

Enduring the pain, he activated his Blue Face while pulling out a Five Elements Power Experience Card.

The reason why the Sandaoshan Niangniang didn't break the restriction of the tabletop game was because if she broke the restriction, the Chunyang Zhangjiao could also use Star Escape to flee, making it difficult for her to kill her Shizun.

Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to activate the character card, he suddenly paused, because he sensed the Sixth Elder's scheme. The other party was trying to force him to use this trump card.

After activating the power of the five elements, his mind would fall into a state of madness, becoming violent, combative, and neurotic. The Sixth Elder only needed to guide him slightly to make him attack the Sandaoshan Niangniang without recognizing his relatives.

"Niangniang, quick..." Zhang Yuanqing covered his bleeding nose, "I can't hold on much longer."

Fortunately, the Sixth Protector, with his "weak" physique, didn't dare to approach. Although the old hag couldn't use the power of the Taiyin and stars, close combat was the prerogative of the Sun Wanderer.

The Sandaoshan Niangniang's eyes narrowed, and her hands quickly formed seals.

In the distance, the Demon Subduing Pestle, being corroded by the black mist, suddenly shone brightly. Strands of golden thread extended from the magical artifact, intertwining under the feet of the Third Protector and the Chunyang Zhangjiao, drawing a complex circular formation.

The next second, clear and bright solar flames erupted upwards, engulfing the Third Protector and the Chunyang Zhangjiao.

"Ah..."

Heart-wrenching screams came from within the formation.

The Third Protector, also a Sun Wanderer, had a strong resistance to solar fire. Although he wasn't as vulnerable as the Chunyang Zhangjiao, the formation cast by the Sandaoshan Niangniang exceeded his limits. The scorching sun also caused him serious injuries.

At that moment, on the illusory table in the center of the aisle, the dice stopped, the number being three. Accompanying the movement of the little figure, the fog cleared, and the position where the little figure stopped was a small wooden pole with a red cross drawn on it.

A line of information appeared on the round table: 【Restriction: Use of tools!】

The black talismans pasted on the cabin walls fluttered down, and the Demon Subduing Pestle and the evil ghost mask "clattered" and fell, losing their vitality.
