Hearing Xu Fang’s shout, Kong Xuan looked over. He was on the verge of sweeping away the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels along with Jiuying. Why was this fellow Daoist Xu Fang telling him to stop? Wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?
Without heeding Xu Fang’s words, he continued to wield the Five-Colored Divine Light ability, intending to sweep away the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels and Jiuying.
At this moment, Xu Fang also heard two voices.
“Old Moon, what is that grass root shouting about? Could he have seen through our plan?”
“How is that possible? Ignore him. As long as we enter that Five-Colored Divine Light and unleash our full might, we’ll guarantee Kong Xuan experiences the extreme sensation of ice and fire!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang knew these voices belonged to the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels. This confirmed his suspicion: Jiuying was indeed trying to deceive the enemy and plot against Kong Xuan!
The situation was urgent, and Xu Fang had no time for lengthy explanations. He quickly shouted again.
“Fellow Daoist, do you recall what I told you? Use the Five-Colored Divine Light with caution!”
“Use the Five-Colored Divine Light with caution?”
Hearing this, Kong Xuan immediately remembered Xu Fang’s previous words. His mind raced, and he quickly understood.
Without further hesitation, he ceased his Five-Colored Divine Light ability. At that moment, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels and Jiuying were almost swept away.
However, Kong Xuan showed no regret. Instead, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Jiuying, were you planning to let me sweep you away, only to rely on your own strength and your magical treasures to break out of the Five-Colored Divine Light?”
“Sorry, I won’t fall for that trick!”
Kong Xuan said sternly. He had narrowly avoided falling into Jiuying’s trap.
Fellow Daoist Xu Fang had previously told him that while the Five-Colored Divine Light appeared unstoppable, it had a fatal flaw.
If the opponent’s cultivation was higher than his, or if they possessed powerful magical treasures, they could turn the trap against him, allowing themselves to be swept away only to then sabotage from within and turn the tables.
Currently, Jiuying’s cultivation was comparable to his, but the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels were incredibly potent.
One could unleash the True Sun Fire, burning everything.
The other could release the Taiyin cold energy, freezing everything.
If they were to activate their powers upon the five-colored feathers, it would truly be an experience of ice and fire. How could his mere peacock body withstand the dual forces of the sun and the moon?
“Hmph!”
Jiuying snorted coldly. He glanced at Kong Xuan, who had retreated, a look of regret in his eyes.
The Five-Colored Divine Light was immensely powerful, and he found it difficult to resist. His plan was precisely to feign weakness, letting himself be swept away, and then destroy from within to defeat Kong Xuan.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to succeed, Kong Xuan received a warning and actually stopped his divine ability!
“Damn it! Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!”
Jiuying’s plan was foiled, and he became enraged. His gaze fell upon Xu Fang, filled with chilling malice.
“You little grass root, I had intended to let you live a little longer, but now it seems I cannot spare you!”
As Jiuying spoke, he suddenly attacked, directly activating the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels and charging towards Xu Fang.
Since he couldn’t deal with Kong Xuan, he would first eliminate this meddling little grass root to prevent him from causing more trouble and ruining his plans!
The Sun Essence Wheel blazed with True Sun Fire, and scorching heat washed over them.
The Moon Essence Wheel emanated Taiyin cold energy, and a chilling aura spread forth.
These two magical treasures, under Jiuying’s control, were aimed directly at Xu Fang, making him instantly experience the sensation of ice and fire.
“This guy dared to ruin our plans, let’s crush him!”
“That’s right, we Sun and Moon Essence Wheels are not to be trifled with!”
The Sun and Moon Essence Wheels also spoke up, harboring deep hatred for the grass root being who had disrupted their plans, eager to eliminate him.
“Fellow Daoist, be careful!”
Kong Xuan shouted loudly. Jiuying’s sudden assault was so swift that it was too late for him to rescue Xu Fang from this distance.
However, facing the enraged Jiuying and his rampaging Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, Xu Fang showed no panic.
“Comparing treasures, who am I afraid of? Come out!”
Xu Fang roared, directly revealing his three magical treasures.
When it came to the might of magical treasures, he truly feared no one. These Sun and Moon Essence Wheels were making such a fuss here, were they so ignorant they mistook their elder brother for someone else?
Immediately, the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and the Six Roots Pure Bamboo emerged in a rush, hovering beside Xu Fang.
“These two are being so noisy and bothersome. I’ll suppress them!”
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler spoke, directly emanating the power of merit, instantly suppressing the charging Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, rendering them immobile.
“This demon still wants to struggle. Let me sever its connection with its magical treasures!”
The Ruyi Jingu Bang roared, instantly growing larger and thrusting forward, knocking Jiuying, who was still controlling his treasures, far away.
“Not enough! This fellow refuses to accept defeat and dares to resist. Watch as I seal his six senses!”
The Six Roots Pure Bamboo spoke, and a beam of light flashed out, following the Ruyi Jingu Bang. It instantly sealed the six senses of Jiuying, who was still attempting to control his magical treasures.
Having overheard the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels earlier, the three of them were already incensed. Now that they had an opportunity to act, they unleashed their abilities without needing much prompting from Xu Fang.
Xu Fang looked at the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels suspended in mid-air, then at Jiuying, who had been sent flying far away by the Ruyi Jingu Bang. He appeared quite dazed, and Xu Fang couldn’t help but scratch his head.
“It seems… there’s nothing for me to do?”
It felt as though he had just uttered a fierce threat, and then he had become a bystander.
Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle watched in shock. Xu Fang’s sudden display of controlling three magical treasures, requiring such immense effort, was done so effortlessly!
“Damn it! Who are you, to be able to control so many magical treasures!”
Jiuying’s voice echoed, filled with astonishment. He had already broken free from the power of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo by relying on his cultivation and had recovered.
Jiuying was deeply shocked. Possessing many magical treasures was not difficult, but connecting one’s mind with them required immense energy. Usually, one could only control one, at most two.
How could this seemingly ordinary being, with a single move, control three magical treasures, catching him completely off guard? And now he appeared utterly bewildered.
“Sister Six Roots, your power isn’t sufficient!”
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler remarked, “Why did he break free so quickly? Seal his six senses!”
“You’re blaming me? If Ruyi Jingu Bang hadn’t flung him so far, would Ruler Brother have been able to suppress him?”
“If I hadn’t knocked him away, would Ruler Brother have been able to hold him?”
The three magical treasures quickly began to bicker. Xu Fang felt a headache coming on. This wasn’t over yet, and they were already arguing amongst themselves!
“Who exactly are you?”
Jiuying stared at Xu Fang from afar, his voice demanding an answer.
This being was too bizarre. To control three magical treasures so nonchalantly was simply inconceivable.
It felt as if these three magical treasures were alive, capable of unleashing their power merely by receiving a command!
Hearing this, Xu Fang looked at Jiuying, smiled slightly, and slowly replied.
“Me? As you can see, I’m just a grass root.”
