Chapter 160 Cooperation

In the wilderness, far from any inhabited area, Wei Yuan could finally unleash his full power against Taotie. The disciples of Longhu Mountain had already set up formations around them, striving to suppress the aftermath of the battle to the lowest possible level, so as not to affect ordinary people.

Outside the two sides facing off, there were two other forces present.

Bai Ze was bound by chains.

He looked at the scene before him with a sorrowful expression.

Shi Yi, with his sturdy build and steady face, stood calmly on a mountain like a reliable older brother.

He watched the two sides about to clash from afar. Beside him was a tall man with a bare upper body, revealing robust muscles like intertwining dragons, and a beard that almost reached his chest. Even in human form, he was about two and a half meters tall, exuding a sense of powerful, solid strength.

He resembled a piece of steel forged into one.

Zhong, the god who held up the sky.

Although his legends were not prominent in the human world, he was an absolutely powerful deity.

He and Li, the god who supported the earth, directly replaced the role of the pillars supporting the heavens in the four directions.

Zhong offered to support the heavens, while Li guarded the earth below.

Kunlun had the pillars supporting the sky, while the Great Wilderness had the two gods Zhong and Li.

Their strength was self-evident.

Therefore, Bai Ze completely gave up the idea of escaping, lying on the ground like a salted fish.

After all, he was just an accessory.

The reason these two Great Wilderness gods were here was naturally due to the sudden appearance of Taotie and the emergence of the Xuanyuan Sword Soul. Shi Yi successfully persuaded the god who held up the sky, allowing him to think calmly and choose to observe for the time being.

After all, Taotie's strength was not to be underestimated.

The forces behind him were even more likely to make him take notice.

If they were targeting the Kunlun Mountain God and Taotie attacked them from behind, even Zhong would feel his eyelids twitch. Of course, Shi Yi didn't care; you couldn't make Taotie think a rock was delicious.

And the Undying Body of Years was enough to break Taotie's teeth.

As for Zhong...

The corpse-lying Bai Ze stared at the sturdy god, whose strength even surpassed that of Xing Tian.

A glimmer of thought flashed in his listless eyes.

Shi Yi was one thing. He had absolute principles and was a god of the neutral faction, like Zhujiu Yin and Kunlun's Lu Wu, representing the years, the sun and moon, and the rules. These three treated all things equally, and the gods representing them also had similar personality tendencies.

But Zhong.

This god did not go to find the Kunlun Mountain God at the beginning.

That Yuan... I'm afraid he had some kind of inclination to cooperate.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yuan killed the Twelve Yuanchen, but Zhong didn't necessarily have to fight for the Twelve Yuanchen.

In other words, he and Shi Yi might not be of one mind.

In addition, the two members of the Twelve Yuanchen who came with him earlier had disappeared, not knowing what they were doing. Bai Ze vaguely felt uneasy.

And there were the Kunlun gods who would inevitably come to seek revenge.

That's right, Bai Ze remembered that the reason Zhong had been carrying the sky for thousands of years, unable to be as carefree as other Great Wilderness gods, was because the Water God Gonggong had angrily knocked down Buzhou Mountain with his head.

So, strictly speaking, Zhong and Li were actually scapegoats for Gonggong.

They had been carrying the black pot for this reckless god for thousands of years.

It was impossible for them not to have any temper.

And coincidentally, Gonggong was being suppressed in the human world right now. Guess what Zhong would do, what he would do, or what he would do?

This was a dead end!

Bai Ze, with his natural sense of trouble, was already regretting his trip to the human world.

He lay flat and gave up.

He sighed to the sky.

Ji Xuanyuan, when are you coming back?

This situation is too much. I, a mere beast, can't handle it.

Zhong raised his eyes, looked in the direction behind Wei Yuan, and suddenly smiled faintly, saying:

"So, the Lord of Chongwu Mountain has arrived."

"It seems that this Wei Yuan is quite close to the Kunlun faction."

Shi Yi said calmly: "He has nothing to do with us, no need to care."

Zhong smiled and said, "I'm not going to do anything either. Let's just watch his battle with Taotie. A mere mortal, facing Taotie, Shi Yi, do you want to bet? I guess Taotie will swallow him within three rounds. What do you think?"

Shi Yi was thoughtful.

Then he pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and raised the chain with his left hand.

Zhong was stunned: "What are you going to do?"

"Save people."

"But do you know who his opponent is? And you're still saving people."

Shi Yi said calmly and rationally:

"I only need to know that Taotie is not a good thing."

Zhong: "............"

Completely unable to refute.

Bai Ze rolled his eyes, secretly feeling happy.

It felt very uncomfortable to be blocked by this stone head.

But it felt very good to see others being blocked and speechless.

He moved his position so that he could lie down more comfortably.

He noticed the existence of Taotie.

Thinking of what that guy had done before.

A chill went straight from his tailbone to the top of his head.

Bai Ze thought for a while and hid his body even more tightly.

Not revealing even a trace of aura.

………………

The Lord of Chongwu Mountain and other Kunlun gods also followed behind Wei Yuan, worried about him encountering any danger.

Wei Yuan looked solemn, emptied his mind, and adjusted his emotions and state to the peak.

And without Wei Yuan noticing, in the lucid dream, Xing Tian rubbed his fists and laughed heartily, "It's starting, it's starting."

"What's that saying in the human world?"

"That's right!"

"Place your bets, place your bets!"

"I think Taotie can withstand five moves. If I guess right, the celebration feast will be all meat."

Xing Tian waved his hand heartily.

The phantom of Shennong shook his head and said, "No, in my opinion, it will take about ten moves. That Taotie is not weak after all. Although he left the Northern Mountain Realm and was injured, the wounded tiger is the most terrifying. And Yuan is a cautious person."

"If I win, let's eat a clear soup pot next time."

Uncle Jiang pressed the corner of his mouth.

"I'm getting old, I can't stand the taste that's too stimulating."

Xing Tian complained, "Clear soup pot is too bland, let's have a mandarin duck pot."

"Hmm... that's fine too." Uncle Jiang pondered, "Clear soup and tomato mandarin duck pot."

"Tsk..."

Xing Tian shook his head dissatisfied: "You're not good, old man."

"Da Yi, what about you?"

The young archer smiled shyly, with lines of text engraved on the stone tablet in his hand, from sweet and sour pork ribs to sweet pot-wrapped meat. Xing Tian grinned, feeling a little numb in his cheeks. He looked at Xuanyuan, seeing this old opponent, whom he would inevitably fight to the death in reality, deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about, Ji Xuanyuan?"

Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head and mocked himself:

"It's just a phantom body, what else can I think about?"

"I just seemed to feel a familiar aura, but it disappeared again."

"Hmm... who is it?"

Kua Fu looked at Zhujiu Yin, who was also thoughtful: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Zhujiu Yin said calmly: "I'm just wondering if he can perform well enough this time."

"If it's not good..."

Kua Fu was shocked, his mouth twitching.

"Does Your Majesty still have punishments or something?"

"Punishment? No, there isn't."

The gray-robed man took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Just an extra minute of practice."

"One minute..."

Shennong showed an understanding smile.

"One minute."

Xuanyuan said with emotion, a hearty smile of schadenfreude on his face.

"Yes, it is indeed one minute."

This was Xing Tian, who although didn't quite understand, held his chin with one hand, pretending to be wise.

Kua Fu was silent and helpless: "One minute..."

Wei Yuan, good luck.

…………………

The Mountain God of Qianlai Mountain watched Wei Yuan confronting Taotie from afar, his heart filled with worry.

Gu clenched the weapon in his hand.

"Should we go out now?"

The Lord of Chongwu Mountain shook his head and said, "Going out now will only hurt Wei Yuan."

"Let's wait a little longer, until he can't hold on anymore, then we'll go out and save his face... hmm?!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the aura in the distance suddenly became intense and soaring. Taotie laughed loudly, his battle robe fluttering, his hands slightly open, the wind and clouds of the world changed color, with the momentum of devouring the sun and moon, and the foundation of capturing all things.

This caused Zhong and the Kunlun gods to sigh with emotion.

Although he was a fierce god, his strength was real.

Taotie laughed loudly: "Come on, Wei Yuan, use your full strength!"

Wei Yuan exhaled.

His thoughts instantly emptied.

Using the standards for dealing with the Five-Man Squad, he fully unleashed his strength.

Mana operation for a duration target of sixty seconds.

Begin.

As soon as Taotie finished speaking, he charged towards Wei Yuan like a meteor, but Wei Yuan seemed to be unaware, allowing this punch to land. But almost instantly, Taotie's pupils shrank. His fierce punch, which caused the flowing clouds to roll back, missed.

'When facing an enemy's sudden attack, don't fight head-on.'

'You are not Xing Tian or Chi You, or even Xuanyuan's opponent in terms of strength.'

'What you need is speed.'

Familiar voices seemed to echo in his ears.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations - Submerge and Shrink the Earth.

Worlds Apart.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations - Control of the Five Thunders.

Starting with the Heavenly Transformations, to show respect.

The light of shocking thunder appeared before Taotie's eyes. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the figure in one gulp. But immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he retreated again and again. The thunder exploded, being completely swallowed, but instantly, a second figure appeared before Taotie's eyes.

Wei Yuan was in the air, forming hand seals, the Buddhist relic between his eyebrows instantly flowing.

Xuanzang's inheritance, the Buddhist Glazed Body.

The inheritance of the Awakened One, no respect will be shown.

He spun fiercely, his right foot like a battle axe, viciously and fiercely hooking and slamming into Taotie's neck.

Striking Taotie's body, causing him to stagger.

Taking advantage of the spin, Wei Yuan's sleeves billowed, and the heavy weapon used by the monk back then slipped into his hand. Using the acceleration brought by the spin, he slammed down again, a flash of Buddhist light appearing.

My Buddha is merciful!

Veins popped out on Taotie's forehead, and he only felt golden light flashing before his eyes.

It seemed like there was a noisy voice of a man constantly saying in his ear, disturbing him.

"You are presumptuous!"

He suppressed his mind, and in his angry roar, he charged forward with violent speed, directly crushing Wei Yuan's body.

Then this figure also disappeared without a trace.

Kunlun divine power as the inside, supernatural powers as the outside.

Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, perhaps the most well-known supernatural power - Clone.

"Not good, it's a strategy!"

Taotie's heart changed, wanting to break free, but he could no longer move. His pupils shrank, and he suddenly lowered his head, seeing dense inscriptions of the Qimen Dunjia array appearing under his feet - Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations, Zhuge Wuhou's lifelong learning - Six Jia Qimen.

In today's world, perhaps it was the closest to the Six Jia Qimen deployed by that man, past and present.

The core of the formation was the Nine-Section Staff.

The core of the sub-formation was the Longhu Mountain - Male and Female Dragon Tiger Sword.

Kunlun divine power was infused in advance.

Deployed by fifteen hundred Yellow Turban Warriors.

Even Taotie was trapped for a while.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the void.

All of them were in the appearance of Wei Yuan, stepping on the Qimen.

They all chanted a hexagram.

"Ze Huo Ge." (Lake Fire Revolution)

"Huo Lei Shi Ke." (Fire Thunder Biting Through)

"Di Huo Ming Yi." (Earth Fire Darkening of the Light)

"Lei Tian Da Zhuang..." (Thunder Heaven Great Strength)

Hexagrams representing violent power were spoken one after another.

Bai Ze's eyelids twitched.

This was clearly going to risk his life.

So ruthless?!

Moreover, they appeared in an instant, carrying thunder and sword light, frantically fleeing forward, flowing along the lines of the Qimen Dunjia Formation. The speed and complexity of the changes were almost horrifying, completely unimaginable that this was a method developed to avoid such terrifying and precise attacks.

Wei Yuan seemed to feel the existence of arrows that had completely exceeded the speed of sound in his ears.

And now, the movement technique originally used to avoid Da Yi's moves.

Turned into a way to attack.

Taotie struggled fiercely. The Six Jia Qimen only had time to imprison him for a while. A fierce punch stirred the world. Wei Yuan held the Iron Eagle Sword in reverse, spun and slashed down. Then, when Taotie wanted to entangle, he instantly stepped out, his figure turned into a streamer and escaped into the Qimen Dunjia Formation.

'When facing Xuanyuan, Chi You, and Xing Tian at the same time.'

'Every moment of distraction is a moment of death.'

Taotie's forehead throbbed. A fierce wind came from behind his head. He counterattacked, but once again attracted a violent sword light. The Six Jia Qimen, the Five Elements Escape, the sword light, the Buddhist Dharma, and the divine power contained within, seemed to have merged together, attacking frantically with a violent attitude.

As long as your reaction speed does not exceed Xuanyuan.

As long as your attack precision cannot exceed Da Yi.

As long as your recovery speed of devouring spiritual energy cannot exceed Shennong's whip.

I won't lose in these sixty seconds.

Wei Yuan's mind emptied.

When Taotie fiercely stirred the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, impacting the Six Jia Qimen Formation, the two fastest clones suddenly accelerated. The formation was instantly broken. One of the clones rushed forward fiercely, like a fierce general stirring the battlefield, and the other clone rushed from another direction at the same time.

One punched Taotie in the abdomen, and the other spun and slashed down with a sword.

But this time, the sword trembled, even though it had been nurtured in the Tai'a Sword Sheath.

The sword still only slashed out a string of sparks.

Taotie was panting, not expecting to be so embarrassed.

He raised his head and roared, transforming into the true form of Taotie. The Six Jia Qimen Formation, including the clones prepared by Wei Yuan with the help of Kunlun's power, were all shattered. Even the Male and Female Dragon Tiger Sword were blown away. Then, he swallowed everything with his head raised. The vast sky, even the clouds, rotated in reverse, flying into Taotie's mouth like a funnel.

"Devouring the Heavens and Swallowing the Earth!"

In an instant, Yin and Yang were unbalanced and conflicted, the universe was turned upside down and chaotic.

Zhong stepped forward and stabilized one side of the world.

The Lord of Chongwu Mountain and the other mountain gods also formed a formation to do all of this.

But they could only watch helplessly as Taotie, after his rage, revealed his true form and swallowed the wheelchair. Even Xing Tian's axe was knocked into the sky, and then he directly swallowed the figure in the wheelchair. Taotie laughed loudly: "I can devour all things in the heavens and earth, everything in the universe. How dare you be presumptuous?!"

Suddenly, he realized that the taste in his mouth was bland.

And the wheelchair suddenly turned into a formation. The man on it finally turned into violent thunder, directly exploding in Taotie's mouth. This thunder was particularly powerful, as if carrying the effect of divine power, directly exploding in his stomach, causing Taotie's body to tremble, sluggish and stiff for a time, his thinking slow.

After being personally taught by five old rascals with ridiculously rich combat experience and methods so dirty that Wei Yuan couldn't help but curse, Wei Yuan's combat instincts honestly learned those techniques that even he himself felt ashamed of. All of this was to make Taotie reveal his original form and launch the final blow.

Wei Yuan appeared from the clones that had just been smashed and blown away.

This trick had even deceived Xuanyuan and Chi You before.

"Can you eat everything?"

Wei Yuan whispered, forming hand seals.

He unleashed all his mana without hesitation.

The last great supernatural power.

His mana was completely exhausted.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations - Size Alteration.

Target -

Xing Tian's Axe.

A huge sense of oppression suddenly emerged. Xing Tian's Axe, which had just been thrown into the sky, burst into a streamer, frantically getting bigger.

Size Alteration, if it was huge, then it was Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

Because Taotie had just absorbed the clouds, now the surrounding clouds were gathered here. The huge, mountain-like Xing Tian's Axe fell, with its weight alone. Seeming to sense something, it directly locked onto the Xuanyuan aura in Taotie's chest.

Then it accelerated violently.

The clouds of heaven and earth were split open. The huge Xing Tian's Axe slashed straight at Taotie, who had revealed his original form.

Taotie: "............"

He stiffly raised his head, looking at the ancient divine weapon that was so much larger than his own body. He saw the ghastly axe blade almost reflecting his face, slashing down quickly, with countless thick streamers flowing slowly along both sides of the axe blade, outlining huge cloud patterns, possessing all the powerful sense of oppression that a giant object possessed.

Xing Tian's Axe Characteristic - Guaranteed Hit.

The Four Fiends, who had once roamed the human world for a while, went blank.

He spat out a word.

"Fuck."

ps: Today's second update... four thousand eight hundred words.

I didn't finish writing until four o'clock. Lying down... I'm probably going to be useless tomorrow. The update may be very late. The hand holding the cigarette is trembling slightly. Good night, everyone. I was one step away from reincarnation.
