Chapter 1257 A Sword Slices Through the Sky

That savage force, immense and vast, seemed to be recklessly throwing everything into the attack, coming with great speed. The lingering fear in Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan's heart hadn't completely dissipated from before, and now it encountered such an attack, although this force was far from being able to threaten Him, it still gave Him a shock.

Just now, Nuwa suddenly erupted with power far exceeding His expectations. That scene still seemed to be before His eyes. If Nuwa hadn't been unwilling to harm the common people and retracted a lot of power, that move of reversing yin and yang could have directly pierced through His abdomen, opening a large hole in His stomach.

Even though the matter had passed, it still left Him with lingering fear.

Now, facing the attack from behind, even though it was inferior to Himself, a trace of fear unexpectedly emerged in the depths of His heart. Then, He subconsciously withdrew His right hand that was about to strike Nuwa, and then spun around. The rod in His right hand suddenly rotated, carrying the momentum to crack mountains and rivers, fiercely and majestically, directly sweeping across.

Boom!!!

A huge force erupted.

As expected, the attacking force was far from being His match.

Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan only used three-tenths of His power to overturn it heavily, and then with another tap, He scattered the attacking stream of light. The attacker spat out blood, fell to the ground, but managed to stabilize His figure by rolling, and then rolled to block in front of Nuwa.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, but His movements didn't stop.

He took out cooked beef and roujiamo (meat sandwich) from His bosom, stuffing them into His mouth.

It was a neat black-haired youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, His face pale. As he frantically ate, with each piece of meat containing a large amount of qi and blood being consumed, the backlash from taking a blow from Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan's Daoguo (Dao Fruit) began to recover rapidly.

Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan's eyebrows stood up.

He did not expect that after three moves, He had failed to achieve any results, and He couldn't help but feel agitated, cursing, "Indeed, thick-skinned and fleshy!"

"Who is it?! Who dares to stand before the Great Sage?!"

The youth who had rushed over wiped the blood from the corner of His mouth and said, "Wu Zhiqi? Are you crazy? Don't you even recognize me? I'm Tao..."

The youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes paused, glanced at Nuwa behind Him, and changed His words:

"Jinyun!"

"Lei? Where is he? What the hell is going on? He sent a message saying that Zhang Ruosu, that Daoist priest, has recovered, and as a result, my sugar mommy is so happy that she's preparing sixteen large palanquins to carry that guy Zhang Ruosu back, worried that the Norse gods will snatch him first, and wants me to come down with a 'betrothal gift' first to settle this matter."

Taotie roared in anger: "I ran all the way here!!!"

"All the way!"

"Twenty-seven thousand miles! I ran so much that my stomach is churning with acid!"

"I came and saw a monkey gone mad!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Are you acting?!"

"Damn it!"

"I came to eat the wedding feast, not to watch a show!"

Taotie thought that there would definitely be a wedding banquet to eat at the engagement, so he ran all the way without stopping, and even used various Western divine methods of transportation, barely managing to arrive just in time, seeing that Wu Zhiqi was about to attack Nuwa, he had no choice but to rush over regardless.

He was almost killed there by a counter-sweep of the rod.

Thinking of this, He was filled with anger again, lowered His head and took a hard bite of meat, refining the flesh and blood qi to recover from His current injuries.

The previous battles rose and fell, but it was only in the blink of an eye. How could ordinary Daoists grasp the exchanges at the Daoguo level? They only saw a blur before their eyes, and then they saw this scene. Nuwa retreated, her face pale, and Jinyun Shi, who should have been in the distant Fairy Forest, suddenly appeared, eating meat while spitting blood.

"This, this is..."

The ordinary disciples hadn't reacted yet, their faces full of confusion.

But Lin Shouyi immediately understood and His expression changed drastically.

After all, an old Jianghu (martial world) is still an old Jianghu.

Knowing that this monkey was definitely problematic, knowing that although Nuwa was in trouble, they were actually just a burden and trash here, only distracting Nuwa, He immediately had a thought. Ignoring the methods of His Shangqing Lingbao Sect and using the Heavenly Court talisman system beyond specifications, a terrifying talisman light flashed past.

The disciples on the mountain, along with the black cat Lei who hadn't reacted yet and hadn't answered Taotie's question,

Were all enveloped in that greenish-blue aura.

Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan frowned slightly and was about to stop them, but then He saw that Nuwa had already raised her palm slightly, yin and yang energy flowing naturally from her fingertips, constantly revolving, faintly possessing unpredictable mysteries, pointing remotely at His heart, abdomen, throat, and other places, and He felt a stinging sensation coming.

Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan had only been born recently.

However, Zhuo Shi Dazun (Great Lord) forcibly bestowed the state of a fully accomplished Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan from the furthest point in His destiny upon the current Him with great magical power, and with the blessing of [Destiny], His combat experience and instincts were actually very strong. He knew that this meant that once He took action to stop them, Nuwa would seize that moment of opening to attack.

At that time, He was afraid that He would fall into a passive position.

Recalling the power of Nuwa's reversal of yin and yang just now, even Zhuo Shi Dou Zhan faintly felt a trace of fear that He was unwilling to admit. He raised His hand but then lowered it, sneering, "Forget it, forget it. Since Nuwa, you want to protect them, then I will naturally give you this face."

"Besides, my purpose in coming here this time was originally you."

"What do I care about the life and death of others?"

………………

At the same time, at the foot of Longhu Mountain——

Before a group of young Daoists could even react, they saw a blur before their eyes. Then, countless talismans seemed to appear in the void for an instant, scattered away. When the talismans dissipated, they had actually arrived at the foot of the mountain. Just as they were all stunned, they saw Old Master Lin Shouyi over there.

Lin Shouyi's originally crystal-clear white hair had turned as dry as autumn grass in the blink of an eye.

Even the wrinkles on His face seemed to have become deeper.

He sighed and looked at the jade talisman in His hand.

It was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Shangqing Lingbao Sect, refined by countless people before it had such a color. However, after the instantaneous teleportation array just now, it was completely exhausted. In the face of the Daoguo level, taking so many people away was originally going to require a price.

Even though that Daoguo was also being restrained.

But the price was still heavy enough, huge enough.

The old man murmured a few words, shook His head, and raised His hand to hold the jade talisman tightly.

A young Daoist next to Him sensed the extraordinary battle aura, suppressed the fear in His heart, and said:

"Uncle-Master Lin, this is..."

Lin Shouyi was still gentle and said, "It's a battle that has exceeded our understanding."

"Go, go down the mountain, notify the various cities, raise the spiritual power defense measures built before, and let everyone not walk outside for the time being, so as not to be affected by the violent spiritual energy."

"Shouzhuo, you go and inform the rest of the Daoist sect..."

"Shouyi, you go and contact the Marquis of Chaoge City..."

Finally, He reached out and patted Lin Ling'er and Xiao Yu'er, and said, "You, go to the Zhenyao Museum (Demon Suppression Museum)."

The old Daoist instructed everything in an orderly manner, allowing the Daoist disciples who had encountered the incident unexpectedly and had also witnessed the horror of the Daoguo to gradually restrain their minds and gradually calm down, nodding one by one. The spiritual energy turbulence in this place was so terrifying that modern communication and spells were ineffective, so they could only rely on people to go.

After remembering the instructions, they were about to throw out their flying swords or gourds to fly away.

But Lin Shouyi gently patted them on the shoulder with one hand.

The old Daoist shook His head gently and pointed to the sword, His voice gentle, "The spiritual energy is chaotic, but also full. If you fly away on your sword, aren't you worried about being affected by a turbulence in the middle and then falling down? It's better to walk away quickly, leave this place, and then make plans."

The young Daoist then reacted and thanked Him quickly before leaving quickly.

Lin Shouyi watched them go away, when He suddenly heard a cat's scream in His ear. He raised His head and saw the black cat Lei on Longhu Mountain suddenly panicking, first running around in a frenzy, and then staring wide-eyed, "Zhang Ruosu, where is Zhang Ruosu?!"

"Old man Lin, you didn't bring him down!"

"You didn't bring him down!"

The black cat Lei's fur stood on end, and then it turned around, completely ignoring the danger on the mountain and the terrifying clash about to erupt. It jumped up on the trees and borrowed strength from the large rocks. The old Daoist reached out His hand and poured a bit of spiritual light into His fingertips, and then it fell on the black cat Lei, making the black cat Lei's speed faster.

The black cat Lei rushed upwards.

Lin Shouyi was silent for a moment, and then followed closely behind.

As a member of the human race, He needed to care for the younger generation and not let them lose their lives here. They still had a future. But how could they let 'Mother' (Nuwa) be in a dangerous environment alone? The old man walked forward step by step, very slowly, but the straw sandals under His feet were seeping blood, leaving a trail of bloody footprints on the white mountain road.

The jade talisman in His hand had long appeared with cracks, but He held it tightly.

Magic is actually an exchange of leveraging vitality.

It was still too difficult to use magical powers to take people away in front of the Daoguo level.

The old Daoist Lin Shouyi turned His head and saw the spiritual energy shields rising above the cities at the foot of the mountain. He saw the younger generation of the Daoist sect leaving, the sparks of the Daoist sect preserved. And He stood here, welcoming the coming battle on Longhu Mountain, which was the stubbornness of the Daoist sect. The Daoist sect could not escape like this.

His mind was filled with the fear on the faces of those children.

He carried His sword on His back and walked towards Longhu Mountain step by step.

He walked to the pavilion on the mountainside.

He wanted to walk up, but He couldn't move anymore.

He could still faintly see the arrogant and domineering 'Wu Zhiqi', unrestrained and arrogant.

The old Daoist勉力(with great effort) raised His head and looked at Longhu Mountain in front of Him, seemingly seeing His friend. /

Lin Shouyi raised His right hand and said softly, "It's a pity that we still couldn't drink this wine. You owe me so many jars of fine wine, but, no matter what, it's a good thing, a good thing. Fellow Daoist He...finally attained true cultivation."

"Living as long as the sun and moon, shining as bright as heaven and earth, the rest of us are but grass and trees."

The old man with regret, with sorrow, with sighs:

"The rest of us."

"Are but grass and trees, eventually turning to dust."

His voice suddenly changed:

"But even though we are grass and trees, are we willing to bow our heads?! Even if we are ants, do we not have the heart to stop a chariot?!"

He raised His hand and threw the jade talisman in His hand out with force, with all His strength.

This jade talisman, which was about to collapse, had completely shattered into powder when it was thrown out, dissipating like dust. He could still faintly hear the many chanting voices and morning class sounds contained within it, turning into a sword along with the Daoist's will. The long sword behind Him was unsheathed, vast and majestic, pointing directly at 'Wu Zhiqi'.

A mere human dares to draw His sword against a Daoguo!

"Lin Shouyi of the Human Daoist Sect."

"Please!"

Those Daoist disciples who had fled in panic under the coercion of the Daoguo level seemed to feel something and subconsciously turned their heads to look, seeing the clouds in the sky in the distance.

A sword streaked across the sky.

Brilliant and magnificent.

This sword embodies the spirit of the Human Daoist Sect drawing their swords against the strong.

And Lin Shouyi closed His eyes, no longer having any aura.

His soul was scattered.
