Chapter 22: Turning the Tables! Better a Dead Fellow Daoist Than a Dead Poor Daoist!

“Who are you?” Yuan Lian glanced at the Taoist of the Five Elements, then Xuan Chen.

‘It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!’

‘If I don’t die today, I will find them one day to settle this,’ Yuan Lian thought.

“My Dao name is Xuan Chen; Li Yuan was my best friend. You…”

“Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! If you want to kill me, I will make at least one of you be buried with me!”

Before Xuan Chen could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Yuan Lian.

‘What “best friend”? You’re just fooling ghosts!’ (TL: implies he doesn’t believe their excuse).

Yuan Lian, who had been hunted down all the way, also held a pent-up anger in his chest.

‘If I don’t show off my power, do you really think I’m made of clay?’

Although Yuan Lian’s desperate behavior did not frighten Wu Xing and Xuan Chen, it still made them a little bit wary.

At this moment, even if they didn’t understand the details, they realized Li Yuan was probably killed by the Mu Gong in front of them.

He was a Mid-stage Golden Immortal; even they couldn’t kill someone that powerful quickly. This made them wary.

Although they didn’t believe that, even with their joint efforts, Mu Gong would be able to drag one of them down.

But in order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, they each kept their eyes open.

“Fine, stop talking nonsense. Please, Fellow Daoist, die.”

Xuan Chen said no more and immediately used his supernatural powers to kill, but he held back a little bit of strength.

“KILL!”

The Taoist of the Five Elements also shouted violently, and the Five Elements Killing Sword bloomed with incomparable power, turning into a multi-colored beam and slashing down, but he also left some power in reserve.

“Very good, the sow-dissension tactic has worked!”

Seeing this, Yuan Lian secretly rejoiced.

Although the effect was minimal, it might just be the key lifeline.

The World Purifying White Lotus Platform protected his body; under the bright aura, it resisted thousands of Laws and spells.

Yuan Lian channeled spirit energy to use the full power of the Sea Calming Pearls to strike his enemy.

The aura of the Five Qi in his chest stirred up a steady stream of spirit energy, and the Proto-Qi of Renshui Water nourished the immortal body, repairing the damage shaken by the vast spirit energy at every moment.

At this moment, Yuan Lian was getting ready to attack.

In an instant, the colors of the world changed, and everything else disappeared.

The violent and chaotic Laws intertwined and collided, and the supreme mighty supernatural powers surged.

This was a battle of blood and fire!

Time and space shattered, and the Laws of Celestial Light bombarding each other disintegrated.

The shattered Celestial Light cut through nothingness, penetrating the endless universe of Ganges Sands, and shattering billions of worlds.

BOOM!!!

A violent roar resounded through the sky, and Yuan Lian, who had just resisted the Five Elements Killing Sword, was hit.

It was a compass, tracing a mysterious and unpredictable trajectory, and it was able to break through the protection of the White Lotus Platform for a moment in the gap of time.

Yuan Lian bled; the Proto-Qi of Wood in the immortal body surged, and the Proto-Qi of Renshui Water boiled.

He immediately swallowed a drop of the Divine Water of Three Glories, and the vast breath of good fortune healed the injury.

Yuan Lian’s eyes were full of endless killing intent, and he stared at Xuan Chen.

“The Divine Water of Three Glories!”

Wu Xing and Xuan Chen were both surprised when they saw Yuan Lian’s actions.

They didn’t expect that Yuan Lian actually had such a holy medicine as the Divine Water of Three Glories; no wonder he dared to say that they would be buried with him.

It’s just that they looked at Yuan Lian with increasingly strange eyes: envy, jealousy, hatred, and finally the strongest look of greed.

‘This Mu Gong is too rich, isn’t he?’

It can be said that Mu Gong is the richest existence among the Innate Sacred Beings they know.

Wu Xing even dared to say that, looking at the entire Primordial World, the Mu Gong in front of him was of the wealthy tycoon type.

Truly, how hateful!

“Let’s see how long you can resist! Five Elements Reversal, kill!”

The Taoist of the Five Elements became more determined.

The same was true for Xuan Chen. At this moment, he was already thinking about how to distribute the treasures so as not to suffer a loss.

“You forced me to do this! Taoist of the Five Elements, let’s die together!”

Yuan Lian let out a crazed roar, and the surging spirit energy shone with endless bright Immortal Light.

He seemed to be committing suicide, ignoring the Five Elements Killing Sword and Taoist Xuan Chen’s compass spirit treasure, and rushed straight to the Five Elements Taoist frantically.

“Damn it! Why this…”

Taoist Wu Xing was startled by Yuan Lian’s berserk state, subconsciously backing away a little, and turned the Five Elements Killing Sword from offense to defense.

Although he didn’t believe that Mu Gong could kill him, in the vast expanse, there are countless mysterious and miraculous supernatural powers; what if the other party has some ultimate moves that can seriously injure him?

It is inevitable that Mu Gong will fall, so there is no need to catch him at the cost of damaging one’s own foundation.

Moreover, Wu Xing glanced at Xuan Chen imperceptibly, and silently put away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

But it was this retreat that brought a smile of success to Yuan Lian’s face.

Under the astonished gazes of Wu Xing and Xuan Chen, Yuan Lian abruptly turned around; the World Purifying White Lotus Platform resisted the blow from the compass, and he charged at Xuan Chen.

“Mu Gong, you deceive me too much!”

The Taoist of the Five Elements roared angrily; why couldn’t he see at this moment that he was deceived by this guy again?

“You just realized? It’s too late!” Yuan Lian smiled smugly with blood at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the blood-stained mouth and Mu Gong with a ferocious smile, Xuan Chen suddenly felt bad and hurriedly retreated.

But as soon as the thought arose, a bright spiritual light enveloped him in an instant.

“Sunlight, Moonlight, Starlight Divine Water… how could there be so much!”

Xuan Chen, who was splashed in the face by the Divine Water of Three Glories, roared wildly.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn’t.

Everything came so suddenly.

“Time Reversal!”

Fortunately, he had saved some strength to prevent Yuan Lian from counterattacking, and hastily activated the Time Compass at this moment of life and death.

The mysterious and incomprehensible waves of time spread, and time seemed to pause for a moment, so fast that people could not notice it.

The Divine Water of Three Glories that was supposed to completely submerge Xuan Chen only covered about half of him in the end.

“The Law of Time! It’s so mysterious!” Yuan Lian was secretly startled but at the same time felt a little pity.

Originally, this plan was intended to kill Xuan Chen with one blow; after all, he could clearly sense that Xuan Chen was weaker than the Five Elements.

It’s just that life is unsatisfactory nine out of ten times.

“Old thief Five Elements, you should also taste the taste of this Divine Water of Three Glories!”

Yuan Lian looked at the Taoist of the Five Elements who was rushing to kill him, roared angrily, and smashed out the jade bottle shining with three colors of light.

“You have more…!!!”

Taoist Wu Xing turned pale with fright; while he was rushing forward, he actually flashed a hundred miles away.

“Break for me!”

As soon as he stood still, Wu Xing manipulated the Killing Sword to slash the jade bottle.

These three highly poisonous waters are effective for living beings, but they have no effect on Spirit Treasures.

Crack!!

Seeing the jade bottle chopped into powder with a single sword, and looking at the empty space, the Taoist of the Five Elements froze for a moment.

Then he looked at Mu Gong, but he only saw a figure from his back that quickly dissipated.

“Mu Gong! I will destroy your entire clan!!!”

Wu Xing felt that he had been humiliated, and his Innate Sacred dignity was stepped on the ground and rubbed repeatedly.

Just as he was about to raise his sword to chase after him, he was stopped by Xuan Chen.

“Fellow Daoist, help me expel the poison first!”

Xuan Chen’s eyes were painful and ferocious; if Taoist Wu Xing didn’t want to help him, then he would definitely let him taste the Divine Water too.

……

A few days later.

“This is difficult! The Divine Water of Three Glories, my trump card, is completely consumed. If I get caught up again, I can only fight to the death!”

Yuan Lian’s complexion was grim.

Although he used The Divine Water of Three Glories to restore spirit energy, the crisis has not yet been resolved, and he doesn’t know when they will catch up again.

While Yuan Lian was flying, his Divine Sense spread out overwhelmingly, looking for all possible ways to escape.

“Eh? There are formation fluctuations.”

Suddenly, Yuan Lian was full of surprise.

Countless billions of miles away, there is a fluctuation of a formation, which is the formation laid down by a strong cultivator.

“Sorry Fellow Daoist. Better a dead Fellow Daoist than a dead Poor Daoist!”

Yuan Lian silently apologized and immediately went straight to the formation.
