"Yes, Commander!"
"Pale-faced scholar, come and die!" A burly general stepped forward, his saber unleashed a crescent-shaped light. With a flicker of movement, the general appeared in mid-air. His hand swept across the blade, and a trickle of blood stained it, turning the long saber crimson. He struck again, a cascade of starlight seemingly revolving around the crescent light.
Across the entire river of sword Qi, strands of starlight emerged. Li Bai's brow furrowed as he felt a powerful domain enveloping his location, instilling a terrifying sense of authority. The surging sword Qi river churned violently, and even the space where Li Bai stood began to shatter.
"A celestial treasure that combines domain and offensive power!"
Sensing the changes in the void, Li Bai smiled faintly. He extended a finger, his long sword in hand, and shouted, "The wind is rising, and the waves are rolling, there will be a time!"
"To set sail with a full heart and cross the boundless sea!"
As the verses were uttered, the heavens and earth tore open a deep, bottomless chasm, ripping apart the entire pressure domain. Without the immense pressure, the sword Qi river roared, its waves surging ten thousand feet high. A single sword Qi erupted, stirring up divine lightning from all directions. The sword shot upward, as if attempting to break through the secret treasure vault. It then plummeted rapidly, and with a thunderous roar, the general's crescent saber light and the starlight were utterly shattered, scattering into countless streams of light.
The entire domain collapsed. As the terrifying crescent saber light dissipated, the golden immortal general's physical body was cleaved in two, his internal organs spilling onto the ground like flowing water.
"Damn it! You two, join forces and capture him for me!"
The enraged Bing Di Zun in the distance froze. He watched the figure in white move through the void. Two golden immortal generals, each wielding peerless celestial treasures, were still no match for the white-clothed man's single strike. This was a terrifying prospect, no wonder the Great Han Immortal Dynasty had the power to contend with the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty.
"Fight!"
The remaining two golden immortal generals exchanged glances, then roared in unison. Their sword Qi split the air, and their saber lights slashed. Although they were shocked by Li Bai's sword strike just now, the imperial decree could not be defied. As generals of the Nu Bing Immortal Dynasty, they were bound to advance bravely at the Emperor's command.
"Kill him!"
In the void, Li Bai pointed a finger, and three streams of sword Qi shot out again. This time, the destructive power carried by the three sword Qi was even more astonishing. The three streams intertwined, spinning rapidly like a storm-powered gyroscope, and then surged forth again with a deafening roar, shattering the sky in their path.
All the attacks the two generals had unleashed earlier vanished silently under these three sword Qi. Cold sweat beaded on the foreheads of the two generals. Gazing at the three sword Qi, which carried the force of destruction, from the void, they felt the flowing immortal energy in the air as piercing as nine-foot-long cold ice. Their vision suddenly went black, their ears roared incessantly, and they felt a sudden heat on their heads, with something warm flowing down. In an instant, the surrounding air became incredibly quiet. Even Nu Bing Di Zun instinctively took three steps back.
The corpses of the two generals lay peacefully on the ground. All four golden immortal powerhouses brought by Nu Bing Di Zun from the Nu Bing Immortal Dynasty had perished under Li Bai's long sword.
"Still not coming to accept your death!"
Li Bai raised his head and looked at the terrified Nu Bing Di Zun.
"You... you are arrogant!"
"My Nu Bing Immortal Dynasty has no enmity with your Great Han. Are you saying that what you are doing today means you want to oppose me, and the entire Nu Bing Immortal Dynasty?" Nu Bing Di Zun said somewhat flustered.
"Nu Bing Immortal Dynasty? What is that? How dare it suppress us!" Qi Jiguan shot a cold glance, and his fist intent surged behind him, his blood qi streaking across a thousand miles, as if a vast army of a million soldiers appeared!
"Amitabha!"
"Benefactors, it is best not to harbor murderous intent. We are all beings of the Nine Realms, and we should coexist peacefully. From this old monk's perspective, why not let my Vajra Temple temporarily hold this stone tablet inscribed with sword techniques? After the matter of the Buried Dragon Immortal Emperor's secret treasure vault concludes, the benefactors can determine the ownership of this sword technique within my Vajra Temple, what do you say!" A low chant, and several monks in kasaya, with Buddhist halos behind their heads, stepped forward.
For some unknown reason, with the arrival of these monks, the place suddenly became peaceful. Countless beings, even Li Bai and Qi Jiguan, felt a desire to temporarily put aside the matter. Su Dan Novel Net.
"In your Vajra Temple?"
Qi Jiguan's right hand, holding the wine cup, suddenly trembled. The wine within instantly evaporated. He looked up at Abbot Guang Qing of Vajra Temple and said, "What, is your Vajra Temple determined to intervene in this matter?"
"Amitabha. Ascetics should have a Bodhi heart and should enlighten all beings in the world. Benefactor, this matter has already resulted in the slaughter of several beings, their blood staining this place. For the sake of that cold record, why draw your swords against each other?" Guang Qing chanted a Buddha's name and closed his eyes.
"If this matter is to be temporarily postponed, I have no objections. But placing it in your Vajra Temple... I have no intention of worshiping Buddha, and moreover, within the time of this journey, if your Vajra Temple were to copy this stone tablet, it would be effortless to take away this inheritance!" Nu Bing Di Zun's expression had changed four or five times since the appearance of the people from Vajra Temple until now.
"Benefactor, what are you implying? Do you not trust my Vajra Temple?" Guang Ji, standing beside him, clasped his hands together and stepped forward.
"Besides trusting myself, I only trust the dead!" Nu Bing Di Zun said coldly.
"You!"
Guang Ji was furious and was about to speak, but Guang Qing, standing beside him, stopped him. He chanted a Buddha's name and said to Nu Bing Di Zun, "Benefactor, my Vajra Temple is merely passing through this place. Whether you listen to my Vajra Temple or not, this poor monk will intervene in this matter and will not allow another innocent being to be sacrificed!"
"Bald donkey, well done, Vajra Temple. First the Great Han, and now you few, all want to snatch my sword technique. Very good, today we fight to the death!" Nu Bing Di Zun pointed angrily at Li Bai and the two, then at the people of Vajra Temple.
"Amitabha, benefactor, turn back and you will reach the shore!"
A white-browed monk stepped out, holding a demon-subduing pestle. Immediately, a Buddha's name arose, and golden light shone brightly.
"Two benefactors, are you willing to heed my Vajra Temple's advice and temporarily cease hostilities?" Guang Qing looked at Li Bai and Qi Jiguan.
"Who are you, daring to interfere in the affairs of my Great Han Immortal Dynasty?" Qi Jiguan looked at Guang Qing.
"Amitabha, this old monk is Guang Qing, the Abbot of Vajra Temple!" Guang Qing smiled faintly, and a tall golden Buddha appeared behind him, giving Li Bai and Qi Jiguan a fierce look.
"Primordial spirit attack?" With just a glance, Li Bai and Qi Jiguan recovered their senses and warily eyed Guang Qing.
Seeing that they were unharmed, Guang Qing dispelled the golden Buddha and frowned as he examined the two of them.
