Chapter 123 Candle
Seeing the thunder calamity getting more and more intense, the Taoist frowned and nodded secretly.
"It's almost time." He said to himself, and suddenly his whole body shook, and a strong energy came out from his body, which immediately dispersed the thick lightning around him.
Escaping from the encirclement of the lightning, the Taoist stretched out his hand.
"Come on, gourd!"
In the far distance, in the dark cave that Li Chuyi dug, the storage bag he left beside Ziyuan suddenly moved. Before Ziyuan and others could react, a rotten gourd with pits and holes flew out of it, and disappeared after a flash, leaving only a residual image that slowly disappeared on the spot, leaving the people stunned and not knowing what was going on.
Only Zi Yuan frowned, secretly guessing in her heart: "Could it be that the Taoist priest has come?"
Under the Taoist priest's call, the gourd changed its ordinary feeling in the past, exuding a huge momentum, and flew straight towards the Taoist priest with infinite power. Along the way, it was unstoppable, and everything in its way was smashed one by one.
When a few low-level fire demons that survived by chance encountered it, one of them was just touched by the edge and exploded on the spot, and the one that was a little further away was also cracked and collapsed on the spot. They roared blankly without wisdom, not knowing what happened.
It was said that it was only two breaths, and the gourd appeared in the Taoist priest's empty hand, so fast that it seemed to teleport.
When held in the Taoist priest's hand, the gourd emitted waves of joy, as if a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time saw his parents and showed deep longing and attachment.
"Okay, stop being naughty and get down to business first." The Taoist smiled slightly, and the magic power on his palm spit out. A huge amount of magic power poured into the gourd, making the originally dull gourd gradually emit a bright light. As the halo flowed, the rotten gourd with pits became radiant and mysterious.
When the gourd was replenished, the Taoist smiled slightly, threw it into the sky, and the Taoist spell in his hand changed continuously.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, Qiankun controls the law! The five elements are in disorder, confusing yin and yang! Little gourd, take it for me!"
The gourd suddenly turned into a light and flew straight towards the black cloud. It became bigger and bigger on the way. When it flew close, it was already one-fifth the size of the black cloud.
The black cloud covered the entire range of the fire cloud pit, and the gourd became one-fifth of its size, which was definitely a behemoth.
The giant fire demon in the distance looked at the gourd that was many times bigger than itself and plunged into the black cloud. The gourd mouth like a black hole began to swallow the surrounding black clouds. No matter how the black clouds struggled, they could not break free and could only shrink gradually under its continuous swallowing. It could not help but leave a face full of magma without cold sweat.
It is not that it has never seen the heavenly punishment before. Although there are not many people who can resist the heavenly punishment or even fight back, there are many. But it has never seen a Taoist priest who directly threw a magic weapon to take the heavenly punishment, and it seems that it is almost certain to succeed.
Is this still a human?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that even the ancestors of their Yansi clan may not be able to do it.
"Fortunately, I didn't kill his apprentice, otherwise..." Touching the magma that kept flowing down his head, the giant fire demon secretly rejoiced.
Although the heavenly punishment is powerful, the broken gourd with potholes is even more powerful. Under the swallowing of the gourd, the black cloud of the heavenly punishment is getting smaller and smaller.
The black cloud of the heavenly punishment keeps trembling, trying to gather faster, and transform into the fifth level of heavenly punishment to kill the enemy as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the gourd swallowed too fast. No matter how fast the black cloud gathered, it couldn't catch up with the swallowing speed. It could only watch itself shrink little by little.
The black cloud was spiritual. It knew that it would be swallowed up if it continued like this. The cloud changed its momentum and actually increased its speed to rush to the mouth of the gourd. Large groups of black clouds desperately squeezed into the mouth of the gourd. It wanted to burst the mouth of the gourd.
But it failed. Under the control of the Taoist priest, the body of the rotten gourd seemed endless. No matter how the black cloud rushed in, it was unmoved. It swallowed the black clouds one by one like a starving ghost reincarnated, without any intention of bursting.
Seeing this, the black cloud hurriedly released its buffering force, but the rotten gourd was stimulated by it and its suction increased greatly. No matter how it struggled, it could not slow down the swallowing speed. The whole black cloud was rapidly reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, the black cloud swelled slightly and then suddenly shrank. In an instant, it shrank into a black ball as black as ink near the mouth of the gourd. Four-color lightnings flowed out of it, hanging in the sky like a black sun that destroyed the world.
"Huh? Want to self-destruct?" The Taoist pupils shrank slightly, and the spell in his hand changed quickly.
But it was too late. The black ball suddenly exploded at the moment it shrank to the extreme. Four-color lightnings that seemed to destroy the world were scattered around. The concentrated powerful pressure even shook the magical gourd slightly and was shaken away.
Taking advantage of the gap when the gourd flew away and the devouring power disappeared, a small black core in the exploded black cloud suddenly flew out, breaking through the void with a lightning speed and disappeared. Only the gradually dissipating scattered clouds and four-color lightnings remained in the sky.
Escaped? !
The giant fire evil felt that it had really opened its eyes today. It had never heard that the heavenly punishment thundercloud could escape. It also saw the black core that escaped just now. Although it didn't know what it was, it thought it should be the body of the black cloud of the sky punishment. It didn't know what to say, as it had never known that the sky punishment had a core. After seeing such a secret thing, it could only sigh in its heart.
It really opened its eyes!
Seeing that the core of the sky punishment actually escaped, the Taoist frowned.
"Who took it away? Who was it?"
The Taoist shook his head slightly after calculating for a long time without any result.
"Don't think about it. Anyway, the harvest is not small. If the core escapes, let it escape. Anyway, we will meet again in the future."
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. The Taoist turned his head and looked at the messy ground, snorting coldly.
"Come here, you are hiding your head and showing your tail. Are you a rat?"
As the Taoist said, a figure suddenly appeared on the messy but empty ground. A middle-aged man with red hair, red clothes and even red skin appeared there.
Looking at the Taoist in the sky with a smile, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
"Tianyi, your mouth is still so stinky."
Seeing the middle-aged man appear, the giant fire demon was startled, and hurriedly flew over and knelt on the ground, respectfully performing a great salute.
"Junior Yanlang meets the ancestor. Yanlang is incompetent and failed to stop this person. He disturbed the ancestor. I hope the ancestor will punish me."
If an outsider was here, he would be shocked. Yanlang is a high-level fire demon with spiritual intelligence. Even it has to call him the ancestor. Only one person in the entire Yansi clan can be called the ancestor.
This person is the middle-aged man in front of him, the first master of the Yansi clan, and the ancestor of the Yansi clan - Zhu.
Few people know about Zhu's existence, and those who know him only know that he fell here with the fragments of the falling stars, and single-handedly shaped the Huosha clan in the Huoyun Pit, that is, the Yansi clan. As for where it came from and what identity it is suitable for, no one knows.
Zhu rarely appears, and it is even rarer to deal with outsiders. Seeing it talking to the Taoist priest like this at this time, it is clear that they have known each other for a long time, and even have a good understanding of each other. Yan Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and felt that the Taoist priest's identity was more mysterious.
Smiling and shaking his head, Zhu looked at Yan Lang with a gentle face.
"It's not your fault for this. You must know that this Taoist priest is the famous Tianyi Daozun. Even if he is now seriously injured and his body and soul are broken, and the one in front of him is only a Dharma body of his broken body, you can't contend with it."
Yan Lang looked at the Taoist priest in horror when he heard the words, and felt that thunder was rolling in his heart. It had guessed the identity of the Taoist priest, but it never expected that the Taoist priest was the legendary Tianyi Daozun.
The younger generation may not know much about Tianyi Daozun, but it knows him very well. When it was young, Tianyi Daozun was already famous and had no rivals. There were even rumors that even the supreme heavenly ways of the three realms of human, immortal, and underworld were afraid of him. Some people even said that if the peerless genius Zang Wang of ancient times was born in the same era as him, it would be hard to tell who would win when the two met.
But later, something happened that caused Tianyi Daozun to be seriously injured and his body and soul were damaged. His physical body, Taoist fruit, and soul were all incomplete.
If it were another cultivator, even an immortal in the ascending stage or even a true immortal, who was seriously injured, he would probably have died long ago, but Tianyi Daozun lived up to his title. Not only did he not die, but he dragged his broken body to fight again and again, killing all the enemies who came to kill him after hearing the news, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this legendary figure at this time, thinking about what he had done before, Yan Lang felt that it was a miracle that he could still survive under his hands. Everyone knows that Tianyi Daozun has an arrogant personality and a bad temper. He will directly attack if he disagrees with him. Thinking about how he wanted to kill his apprentice just now and even fought with him for a few moves, the more Yan Lang thought about it, the more frightened he became. He never knew what cold was for the first time and felt his whole body cold. Large clumps of magma slid down his face like cold sweat.
Ignoring Yan Lang who was shaking like a sieve, Zhu looked at the Taoist priest with a serious expression.
"Tianyi, I respect you as a hero, but now you have to give me an explanation."
"Explanation?" The Taoist priest rolled his eyes, "Bah! You still want an explanation? I haven't asked you for an explanation yet! Tell me, how are you going to compensate?!"
"Tianyi, don't be unreasonable. It was your apprentice who provoked this and destroyed the outer gate of my Fire Cloud Pit, and even caused many of my juniors to die tragically. I just asked you for an explanation, but you dared to ask me for compensation? Are you bullying me because there is no one in the Fire Cloud Pit?" Zhu's face turned cold.
The ground shook violently, and huge figures broke through the ground and rushed into the air. They stood behind Zhu and looked at the Taoist coldly, ready to go.
Looking at the many giant fire demons behind Zhu, the Taoist raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, you want to bully the few, right? You want to fight? Okay, I'll accompany you!"
After saying that, he raised his head and shouted.
"Baijie, Baijie, come out quickly, someone wants to fight, tell them to roll up their sleeves and join in!"
