“Sect Leader Yan, let us join forces!”
Seeing that Yan Changjian was also forced to join forces with him, Wan Yunting did not refuse. After all, Yuan Kaicheng's martial arts were too strong. Relying on him alone, even if Ji Ruxue and Zhang Xian’er from the other side were free to help, they might not be Yuan Kaicheng's match.
Wan Yunting, picking up the Gentleman's Sword from the ground, could no longer care about anything else. He joined forces with Yan Changjian, attacking Yuan Kaicheng from both sides. They indeed had the upper hand, forcing the old man to retreat repeatedly. Just when they thought they could suppress him, Yuan Kaicheng roared, “Six Paths Divine Skill!”
Boom!
Two powerful and ferocious qi surged from Yuan Kaicheng’s hands.
Wan Yunting and Yan Changjian’s expressions changed drastically. Instantly, they felt two waves of qi rushing towards them. They were sent flying by the two overbearing palm techniques unleashed by Yuan Kaicheng’s Six Paths Divine Skill. Their bodies streaked through the air, their feet landing on the sand and earth, sliding back three to five meters before they repeatedly stomped to stabilize themselves…
“This old fellow’s internal energy is truly strong.”
Yan Changjian’s brow furrowed. He rubbed his aching chest with his left hand. He had been injured by Yuan Kaicheng before, and now he was afflicted by his palm strike, causing his chest to feel uncomfortable, making his expression solemn. He turned to Wan Yunting, whose brow was also furrowed, and said, “Kid, don’t hold back. We can only have a slim chance of survival if we go all out!”
Wan Yunting glanced at him askance. Perhaps Yan Changjian did not know that his old father had already been swallowed alive by the蛟蛇 (Jiao Snake).
“Haha, with just the two of you going all out, you can’t hope to escape from my hands alive.”
Yuan Kaicheng laughed wildly. In his eyes, the martial arts of Wan Yunting and Yan Changjian were like ants. As he spoke, he charged forward…
“Damn it, let’s risk it…”
Yan Changjian glared, swung his sword, and cursed before facing Yuan Kaicheng…
Wan Yunting gritted his teeth, holding the Gentleman's Sword, and also charged forward. Once again, he joined forces with Yan Changjian to fight Yuan Kaicheng…
On the other side, Zhou Ruoxi was taking care of Lu Shuang and junior sister He Shanyue. Ji Ruxue and Kunlun Sect’s Guan Feipeng and other disciples and masters were entangled in fierce combat…
Zhang Xian’er and Zi Qing were also fighting fiercely with the two elders from the Kunlun Sect, neither side able to gain a clear advantage.
In the hills of the Gobi Desert, the ground began to tremble slightly. Dark clouds covered the sky, shrouding a local area. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, changing the color of the sky and earth. The cave entrances in the hills continuously collapsed…
Roar…
Intermittent roars, like dragon cries, continued to emanate from within. Clearly, the 蛟蛇 (Jiao Snake) Liu Xiaohei was still engaged in a fierce battle with that gray old snake in the underground dark river cave…
Crack crack…
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting and Yan Changjian, fighting together, were also holding back, using their ultimate techniques. However, they still couldn’t suppress the old fellow Yuan Kaicheng. It had to be said that his internal energy was profound. Furthermore, he unleashed their Kunlun Sect’s ultimate skill, “Thirty-Six Forms of Great Prajna,” striking Wan Yunting and Yan Changjian flying…
Wan Yunting’s Gentleman's Sword was plunged into the sand, and he slid back seven or eight meters before stopping. Yan Changjian beside him did the same. They looked up at Yuan Kaicheng and shouted sternly, “You two, die…”
“Wan Yunting, let’s go together…”
Yan Changjian beside him shouted anxiously, raising his sword and charging at Yuan Kaicheng again.
Wan Yunting did the same, charging forward and directly unleashing the Great Dao Sword Technique on Yuan Kaicheng: “Opening the Heavenly Gate!”
The Gentleman's Sword thrust forward, emitting a humming sound. A powerful sword qi stirred up the sand and wind, forming a whirlwind. At the eye of the storm was a great sword condensed from dust and sand, lunging towards the attacking Yuan Kaicheng…
“The Great Dao Sword Technique of the Ancestor of Wudang Sword Dao!”
Seeing Wan Yunting unleash this strike with the Great Dao Sword Technique, the sword formed from sand and wind, Yuan Kaicheng’s old face changed, and his heart was alarmed. He dared not be careless and immediately used their Kunlun Sect’s Six Paths Divine Skill, meeting this sand sword with a palm strike…
Wan Yunting pressed his sword forward. The whirlwind of sand and wind roared in his ears, and the dust danced at his feet. However, his eyes were solemn and wide open, watching Yuan Kaicheng’s right palm receiving his Great Dao Sword Technique strike, the sand sword spinning in his hand fruitlessly…
Bang!
Yuan Kaicheng grunted, and the terrifying inner energy shattered Wan Yunting’s sand sword, sending him flying backward…
However, Yuan Kaicheng also retreated a few steps. After he stabilized himself and looked up, his old eyes couldn’t help but look at Wan Yunting with surprise and said, “It seems, young man, that you have fully inherited the legacy of the Great Dao Sword Technique left by the Ancestor of Wudang Sword Dao. To display such power with your martial arts realm, you are truly not simple.”
Wan Yunting’s feet plowed two long furrows in the sand. Finally, he plunged the Gentleman's Sword into the sand to stabilize himself before falling backward. He looked up, his eyes fixed on Yuan Kaicheng ahead, his heart filled with astonishment.
He never expected the old sect leader of the Kunlun Sect to be so powerful. It was likely that even with Yan Changjian’s help, they were no match for this old fellow…
“Hmm, where is Yan Changjian?”
Suddenly sensing something was amiss, Wan Yunting turned his head and found that Yan Changjian, along with his young female sword attendant, had already fled at full speed across the desolate sand dunes. Wan Yunting was stunned and couldn’t help but curse, “Damn, he ran faster than a rabbit.”
Yuan Kaicheng also noticed Yan Changjian had fled far away. His old face darkened, and he immediately attacked Wan Yunting, “Kid, I’ll deal with you first, then I’ll deal with him…”
Wan Yunting, helpless, had to wave the Gentleman's Sword to meet Yuan Kaicheng. He actually hoped that Yan Changjian could escape and expose the actions of their Kunlun Sect…
At a critical moment, the red snake whip whipped over. Yuan Kaicheng’s body paused, and his old hand grabbed a section of the snake whip thrown by Ji Ruxue. But seeing the triangular snake head at the tail of the whip and a long black stinger, he knew it was highly poisonous. Yuan Kaicheng’s sinister old eyes glanced at Ji Ruxue, and with a cold snort, he exerted force and swung his old hand…
Ji Ruxue’s pretty face changed. A tremendous force gave her no chance to resist. Yuan Kaicheng, grabbing her snake whip, violently flung her away. Ji Ruxue somersaulted in the air, and in her left hand, as if by magic, three venomous silver needles appeared. Half a second before landing, she shot them towards Yuan Kaicheng…
As the poisoned needles flew, Yuan Kaicheng had to release the snake whip in his hand. He spun his wide sleeve, striking away the three flying poisoned needles. Looking at Ji Ruxue, who had landed steadily beside Wan Yunting, he snorted, “Tricks of a minor artist, not worthy of the main hall.”
“Hehe…”
Ji Ruxue retracted the snake whip and rubbed it in her hand. She came to Wan Yunting’s side, her alluring eyes glancing at Yuan Kaicheng ahead and said with a smile, “I am a heretic. To your so-called righteous path, I am naturally not worthy of the main hall.”
“However, what your Kunlun Sect has done today, how is it different from us heretics? You old immortal, you dare to lecture me, aren't you a bit thick-skinned?”
“Hmph, sharp-tongued, I will not argue with you.”
Yuan Kaicheng looked at Yan Changjian, who had run away, and did not want to waste words with Ji Ruxue. He attacked her and Wan Yunting again…
“Hong Tila!”
As a result, Ji Ruxue turned her head and shouted towards the back of the Gobi Desert hills. Wan Yunting beside her looked surprised, turned his head, and saw that dark red scaled, thick, and huge snake. Then, a triangular snake head appeared…
A pair of crimson eyes, like rubies, flashing with intelligent light, fixed on Wan Yunting, who was with Ji Ruxue. Its closed mouth exhaled a dark red forked tongue and emitted a low hissing sound. It seemed somewhat excited…
Wan Yunting looked at Hong Tila and said in surprise, “Why is it here?”
Ji Ruxue smiled, “Of course I brought it.”
Back in Thailand, at Serpent Island, the leader of the Divine Serpent Tribe had almost fed Wan Yunting and Ji Ruxue to Hong Tila. However, later, Wan Yunting gave the great snake a bit of his blood, which miraculously opened its spiritual intelligence, making it humanized and obedient to Wan Yunting.
At that time, the main god of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult descended. If not for Hong Tila, Wan Yunting would not have been able to escape Serpent Island with Ji Ruxue so completely. Hong Tila also disappeared into the sea.
However, Wan Yunting did not know that after he left Thailand, Ji Ruxue, after recovering, returned to the vicinity of Serpent Island and discovered Hong Tila. Therefore, in order to return to China to find the origin place of the Divine Serpent Tribe and awaken the divine serpent that originally created the Divine Serpent Tribe, Ji Ruxue used all her means to bring Hong Tila to China…
“What, another snake demon?”
Yuan Kaicheng and Yuan Gaowu and others, who were injured on the other side, saw this dark red giant snake slowly crawling down from behind the hill. It was two meters thick and nearly thirty meters long. Its massive body, coupled with its triangular snake head and a pair of crimson eyes exuding a deathly aura…
But at this moment, it stared at Wan Yunting, appearing unusually excited, as if a son seeing his long-lost father, and quickly crawled towards Wan Yunting…
This scene shocked Yuan Kaicheng and the people of the Kunlun Sect, as well as Zhou Ruoxi, Zhao Xuyan, Qi Xiu, and Chong Ling’er. However, Zhang Xian’er and Zi Qing recognized this snake as the great red snake they had seen on Serpent Island before.
As Hong Tila approached, its huge head nudged into Wan Yunting’s face, like a child acting spoiled to its father, rubbing against him. Wan Yunting was helpless and patted its large head, saying, “I thought you died in the sea back then.”
Hong Tila’s crimson eyes flashed with light, looking at Wan Yunting excitedly. It slightly opened its mouth and emitted a low hissing sound, as if saying something, but Wan Yunting couldn’t understand.
However, since Ji Ruxue had brought Hong Tila here, and with its immense combat power, dealing with Yuan Kaicheng was definitely not a problem.
Back then, Hong Tila’s combat power was comparable to that of a martial artist in the Profound Qi Realm, and here, its strength seemed to have evolved further. Wan Yunting waved his hand, pointing at Yuan Kaicheng, whose old face was darkened and solemn, and said to Hong Tila, “Eat him, it’s a great tonic.”
Hong Tila unconditionally obeyed Wan Yunting’s command, turned its crimson eyes, locked onto Yuan Kaicheng like hunting prey, its dark red scaled body began to writhe and gather strength. Its triangular snake head suddenly opened its gaping maw and let out a roar at Yuan Kaicheng and Yuan Gaowu, the father and son, before pouncing…
