Chapter 369: Li Demi-Saint's Temple Deity Cultivation, Xi Xi, the Purple Mansion Sect's Third Dragon
Chapter 369: Li Demi-Saint's Temple Deity Cultivation, Xi Xi, the Purple Mansion Sect's Third Dragonlet (Part 2)
The two of them faced each other in mid-air, one above the other.
The Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword and the black peachwood sword clashed repeatedly, filling the air with intertwining sword energy and the clanging sound of metal.
Zhang Yunhuang's forehead, between her eyebrows, seemed to have a large red date-like object, and suddenly, her divine nature began to fluctuate.
There was a rattling sound of chains.
Then, it seemed as if an oil-paper lantern rose from behind her.
The oil-paper lantern was connected to a chain, which extended all the way to Zhang Yunhuang's spine, as if it had pierced her spine and completely connected with it!
Xixi's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly, she realized that the oil-paper lantern was not a lantern at all, but a shrine with a temple deity sitting inside, holding a sword and slaying demons.
The temple deity's divine nature poured out, flowing along the chain connected to the shrine and continuously entering her body.
Boom!
The mighty divine nature and pressure crashed down fiercely!
At this moment, Zhang Yunhuang's divine nature soared, reaching the peak of the Primordial Form Realm, with her primordial soul boiling intensely!
It was as if Zhang Yunhuang had transformed into the temple deity in that instant.
Holding the peachwood sword, she lightly brushed two fingers along the sword's body, causing the peachwood sword to emit a brilliant humming sound.
"Little girl, have you ever heard that temple deities... are invincible among their peers!"
As her words fell, Zhang Yunhuang's expression suddenly twisted in mid-air, and instantly, a wide blue robe appeared, floating in the air above the White Jade Plaza.
The blue Daoist robe billowed, blocking Xixi's view.
The peachwood sword in her hand suddenly floated up, and Zhang Yunhuang's eyes turned cold as she slapped the peachwood sword with her palm.
She wanted to end the battle quickly because this girl always made her feel an intense sense of unease, the source of which she couldn't pinpoint. But based on her experience, a quick resolution was never wrong!
Bang!
A brilliant, hard light exploded, instantly piercing through the Daoist robe. The peachwood sword suddenly shattered, revealing a hidden cold, sharp sword within.
Sword Concealment and Kill!
Her body flipped in mid-air, and behind her, the shrine connected by chains, with the temple deity's divine nature continuously pouring into her, allowed Zhang Yunhuang to maintain her inverted sword stance.
With a sword flick, two brilliant sword arcs appeared, moving at an incredible speed that made it impossible to see their trajectory, like butterflies flitting through flowers, and slashed towards Xixi.
The sword energy tore through the blue robe.
The mighty sword energy and killing intent merged into one sword strike.
Xixi felt as if her entire body had frozen and solidified. This sword concealment and kill technique, making her somewhat surprised. This Daoist's skills were truly impressive, and this sword strike made Xixi feel as if she were already at death's door.
Xi Xi gritted her teeth, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in her right hand, which she fiercely threw forward.
Zhang Yunhuang's sword qi collided with the golden brick.
A divine form appeared behind Xi Xi, revealing the Eight-Armed Three-Faced Hell Lotus Invincible!
It seemed as if a divine form with eight arms and three faces appeared, its eyes glaring fiercely. With a long howl, Xi Xi's right hand emitted a trembling sound once again!
It was as if purple flames were erupting and roaring, and the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear activated on its own. Xi Xi grasped it with one hand, spun it, and in an instant, a hole was drilled into the air.
Four mythical divine armaments, a true set of divine armor!
Xi Xi clutched the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear in her hand, and with a swift strike and a domineering horizontal thrust, her body spun, and the spear shot out like a bolt of lightning.
In an instant, the air above the White Jade Square boiled.
The originally humid atmosphere seemed to evaporate instantly.
Then, a purple giant snake emerged from behind Xi Xi, roaring as it slammed into the sword that Zhang Yunhuang had thrust forward.
Zhang Yunhuang's eyes shone with a bright light, as the temple deity's divine nature was fully borrowed by her!
This was the secret technique of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!
Divine Arrival!
Suddenly—
Zhang Yunhuang's body stiffened, and she looked at the divine form behind Xi Xi. It seemed as if the divine form slowly opened its eyes, and two black lotus flowers bloomed within the pupils, slowly swirling.
Then, a freezing pressure that seemed to crush mountains and overturn seas descended in an instant.
Zhang Yunhuang felt that the temple deity power she had borrowed for a quick battle was, in a flash, withdrawn by the temple deity within the shrine.
A surge of emotions from the temple deity within the shrine flooded into Zhang Yunhuang's heart.
Terror, shock, and despair...
These emotions!
Synchronized and transmitted to Zhang Yunhuang's body, making her feel incredibly stifled.
A crisp cracking sound! The chain broke!
The chain connecting to the shrine exploded, and Zhang Yunhuang, suspended in midair, had her borrowed temple deity power instantly withdrawn.
Zhang Yunhuang's pupils constricted.
What...
Had happened?
The temple deity she had cultivated for so many years, with whom she had successfully developed a tacit understanding and could borrow power from...
Yet, at this moment, the temple deity severed its connection with her!
Decisive and resolute, abandoning her without hesitation!
It was as if she had seen some great terror, petrified by its gaze, and decisively severed the connection with her.
"No—!!!"
"Why—!!!"
The psychological ups and downs made Zhang Yunhuang feel like vomiting blood.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the fresh blood was blasted into a bloody mist by the sword qi.
Then, the scorching gun light turned it into black mist! And at the moment the temple deity's divine nature was withdrawn from her body.
She had just slashed her sword to clash with Xi Xi, who held the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear.
Zhang Yunhuang felt that her sword seemed to have suddenly lost control. She had planned for so long, intending to unleash the accumulated power in an instant!
But, the temple deity had taken away all her strength!
Pfft—!!!
The Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear fiercely drilled into Zhang Yunhuang's body, piercing her shoulder. The terrifying force was like a dragon crashing into her body.
It knocked her down from mid-air, slamming her into the ground and pinning her to the surface!
Bang—
The white jade ground of the White Jade Square instantly caved in, and countless spider web-like cracks spread out in all directions.
Fresh blood gushed out, and Zhang Yunhuang, lying on the White Jade Square, had her black hair spread out, like a black flower blooming on the white jade ground, with the crimson blood flowing from her body.
Her eyes dimmed, and she knew she had lost.
But she didn't understand why she had lost.
The four mythical divine armaments were not the key to her victory.
Her defeat came from the temple deity withdrawing all its divine nature, causing her aura to surge, but just as she was about to launch her attack, the power was taken back.
This sudden turn of events exposed Zhang Yunhuang's vulnerability, and Xi Xi seized the opportunity to strike with her spear.
In truth, Zhang Yunhuang knew how to defeat Xi Xi.
Whether in martial arts or divine nature, she was superior to this young girl. If she had prolonged the fight, the immense consumption caused by the four mythical divine armaments would have been unbearable for Xi Xi, who had just broken through to the divine form cultivation.
"I lost."
Zhang Yunhuang said calmly.
The Purple Robe Eunuch Lian Gonggong immediately appeared, blocking Xi Xi, who was about to unleash a barrage of Celestial Engineering bullets.
Xi Xi retrieved her divine armament set and panted heavily, her forehead covered in sweat, but her face was filled with excitement.
Although she didn't know why Zhang Yunhuang, who had given her immense pressure, suddenly lost her momentum.
But it wasn't a big problem.
The winner takes all!
Xi Xi had won, and that was all that mattered!
Xi Xi stood with her hands on her hips, her little belly puffed out, and she felt incredibly proud.
Zhang Yunhuang was fed a pill by the Purple Robe Eunuch, and the flesh on her chest began to regenerate, slowly healing.
Zhang Yunhuang looked deeply into Xi Xi's eyes, then turned and walked down the White Jade Square, returning to the main banquet area of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.
"Sect Leader, I lost. It was my fault for not performing well enough and disappointing you."
Zhang Yunhuang approached Zhang Wujie and spoke with a hint of sorrow.
"It's not your fault. Blame the temple deity you cultivated..."
Zhang Wujie's expression remained calm.
This is the flaw of our Purple Mansion Sect's Temple Deity Cultivation Method. Although it can borrow the rank of the Temple Deity to suppress a vast amount of divine nature, once the Temple Deity breaks free from control... it will cause great turmoil to our state."
Zhang Wuji smiled as he spoke.
Zhang Yunhuang, however, was somewhat unconvinced. She clenched her teeth and said, "Sect Leader... I'm raising a Temple Deity, what in this world could make a Temple Deity feel terrified and betray us?"
Zhang Wuji's gaze suddenly deepened.
"Temple Deity? They're just a bunch of dead deities. Think about it... who killed them? If they can die, how can they not feel fear?"
Zhang Yunhuang was stunned for a moment.
What... does that have to do with that girl?
Could it be...
That girl has killed the deities?
Her hands are stained with the blood of the deities! If that's the case...
Zhang Yunhuang's expression couldn't help but shake.
Just then, Zhang Yunhuang heard a faint sigh.
"Yes, this girl... may become the Purple Mansion Sect's... calamity."
The Purple Mansion Sect's calamity?!
This evaluation is too grand! Zhang Yunhuang was well aware of just how powerful the Purple Mansion Sect was as the number one divine sect in the Great Jing Dynasty.
It was a strength beyond the comprehension and imagination of the Great Jing Court!
It was a power that no other divine sect could compare to!
The Purple Mansion Sect kept a low profile; otherwise, Zhang Yunhuang believed that the Purple Mansion Sect had the potential to reach the heights of the Heaven Spanning Temple, the divine sect that once dominated half the world.
Zhang Yunhuang deeply admired the Purple Mansion Sect in her heart.
And now, the Sect Leader of the Purple Mansion Sect, reaching the same level as the Heaven Spanning Temple, which once dominated half the world.
Zhang Yunhuang deeply admired the Purple Mansion Sect in her heart.
And now, the sect leader of the Purple Mansion Sect, Zhang Wuji, was saying that this girl would become the sect's calamity!
"This... how is this possible?"
"This can't be allowed!"
Zhang Yunhuang's expression twisted in disbelief.
It was as if her faith had been desecrated and insulted!
Before Zhang Yunhuang could refute, a faint laughter came from the side.
It was the first Dragonlet of the Purple Mansion Sect, Zhang Yunlong.
The three Dragonlets participating in the Dragonlet Competition were all from the Yun branch of the Purple Mansion Sect. Among them, Zhang Yunlong was a year younger than Zhang Yunhuang, only thirteen years old, yet he already represented the first Dragonlet of the sect.
"A mere little girl can't possibly become the calamity of our Purple Mansion Sect. It's just a Temple Deity throwing a tantrum."
"However, since the master said so, I plan to meet her and see if she's truly as the master described. I'll wait for her in the Dragonlet Competition's champion battle."
Zhang Yunlong smiled lightly and then walked out with his hands behind his back. On the White Jade Square, as Xi Xi chose to continue the challenge and claimed the five-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality, the images of the next two opponents descended, woven by divine consciousness.
One of the figures in the image was Zhang Yunlong himself.
Zhang Yunlong's Dao robe fluttered in the wind, his demeanor calm and composed.
In just three breaths, he defeated his opponent and offered the five-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality, advancing to the fourth round.
...
...
Li Nanxi of the Heavenly Yuan Sect had won!
Moreover, she had advanced to the fourth round.
The battle between Xi Xi and Zhang Yunhuang had attracted the attention and gaze of countless people; it was no exaggeration to say that all eyes were on them.
No one had expected Xi Xi to defeat the third Dragonlet of the Purple Mansion Sect! After all, whether it was martial cultivation or divine cultivation, Xi Xi was far inferior to her opponent!
But... she won!
However, the crowd quickly found the reason—the four divine armaments!
Moreover, they were a set of divine armaments, which was equivalent to embodying the Temple Deity!
For a while, the Third City of the Divine Capital was in a frenzy over Xi Xi, with lively discussions and enthusiastic cheers. Everyone was intrigued by the underdog's reversal and felt a surge of excitement and admiration.
The main banquet area of the Heavenly Yuan Sect.
Cheers echoed throughout the area.
Lu Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Zhou Peng, Yun E, and other friends all rejoiced for Xi Xi.
When they saw that Xi Xi's mechanisms were useless and that she had even defeated the third Dragonlet of the Purple Mansion Sect, they were elated.
Xi Xi stood tall and proud, brimming with satisfaction.
After winning this round and advancing to the fourth, she excitedly rushed back to the main banquet area.
"Daddy, I won!"
"Xi Xi will soon be able to earn the nine-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality for Mommy!"
Xi Xi was thrilled.
However, Xi Xi rubbed her head and muttered, "But the upcoming opponents are so strong..."
Zhang Ya's eyes showed concern, as she had already noticed her daughter's struggle in this battle.
The upcoming fights would only become more challenging and arduous.
If Xi Xi lost, Zhang Ya couldn't imagine how disappointed her daughter would be.
"It's okay, even if I really lose, Daddy is here. With Daddy's help, we'll get the Peach of Immortality!"
Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head affectionately.
Suddenly, Li Che felt a gaze filled with immense pressure.
He furrowed his brows and followed the direction of the gaze.
There, seated in the main position on the White Jade Square, was the Great Jing Emperor.
His face was obscured by divine blood and nature, making it difficult to discern his expression, but he looked at Xi Xi with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
