Daoist Competition
Chapter 1274 - 24: Powerful Avatar
Zhang Yan, as the master of the Divine House Mountain Immortal City, came to prevent the North Sea Demon Tribe from piling up earth to create a continent near the coast. Therefore, he used the Five Elements Escape Technique to move all the dozens of boats elsewhere as soon as he arrived.
It could be said that, once this was accomplished, the main objective of this journey had been largely achieved, and what followed was dealing with these few people.
Qu Changzhi was also quick to understand, but these dozens of boats were merely bait. Even if they were destroyed, it wouldn’t matter much. Now that Zhang Yan has been lured into the formation, there was no need to think any further.
Only Wang Guangyuan nearly vomited blood at the sight; the jade mud carried in these dozens of boats was his accumulation, and now he didn’t know where it had been taken, fearing it might never be found again.
After Qu Changzhi distanced himself from Zhang Yan, he quietly took out a command flag from his sleeve and waved it gently. The concealed forbidden array on the sea was activated, and the Spiritual Energy around Zhang Yan seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, forcibly shrinking inward by half.
Seeing that the array had already taken effect, he swiftly put away the token and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, take action!"
Though he shouted, his movements intentionally slowed by a step.
Although he had the reputation in East Victory Continent of being very combative, in truth, he was naturally cautious and careful. Every time he engaged in a confrontation, he would first meticulously analyze his opponent before taking action. If his opponent’s background was unclear and he didn’t have significant confidence, he wouldn’t rashly make a move.
According to Wang Guangyuan’s description, Zhang Yan had at least two powerful Daoist Skills in hand. Because of this, he pondered a lot and concluded that it was unwise to approach, and could only strike from afar with Dharma Treasures. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Last time, Wang Guangyuan was severely injured by the You Yin Heavy Water and was very apprehensive of Zhang Yan, so he also stayed back.
Only the brothers Yu Jia and Yu Yi, upon hearing his call, each took out an Iron Whip, shouted, and surged forward wrapped in a whirlwind of demon wind.
Qu, Wang, and Jiang, upon seeing this, realized that the two brothers must be Power Dao Practitioners known for their physical strength, rushing forward to confront head-on, which was precisely what they wished for.
Wang Guangyuan stretched out his hand, and dozens of frost-colored small swords ascended into the sky.
Jiang Daoist, on the other hand, sacrificed a pair of silver-bright flying hooks into the air.
In Qu Changzhi’s hand was a meticulously crafted Golden Stone Flying Pill, capable of easily shattering Protective Treasure Light within a hundred zhang the moment it was unleashed.
The three each readied their Dharma Treasures, waiting for Zhang Yan to reveal a flaw, then take advantage of it.
Zhang Yan’s body remained motionless. If he were a Qi Dao Practitioner, suddenly beset by the Array Formation Restriction, he would certainly find it difficult to move. If simultaneously attacked by opponents, he might even face crucial danger. However, he had long cultivated to the Fourth Realm of God Contract, and this trivial constraint couldn’t restrain him.
His gaze swept, taking in all five individuals’ conditions. As the Yu brothers charged, he focused his intent, and a dazzling arc of light suddenly leaped from behind him, swirling around his body. Suddenly, it split into two, then four, transforming into sixteen beams of light, slashing down upon the two opponents.
Upon this sight, Qu Changzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Flying Sword?"
Cold sweat broke out on his back; no matter how much he had previously overestimated his opponent, he hadn’t expected Zhang Yan to be a Sword Cultivator. Such a cultivator’s attacks were not only fierce, but their Escape Skills were vastly superior to others.
He secretly congratulated himself for his foresight in setting up the formation beforehand; otherwise, Zhang Yan could leave or stay at will, and they wouldn’t be able to hold him back. On the contrary, if they didn’t group together, Zhang Yan could pick them off one by one.
The Yu brothers hadn’t expected their opponent to be a Sword Cultivator either. Seeing the sword light aiming directly for their eyes and necks, they roared in unison, withdrawing their Divine Weapons to protect themselves.
However, how could the sixteen paths of sword light be wholly blocked? In an instant, their shoulders, backs, arms, and legs were slashed open, revealing bone-deep cuts, drenching their bodies in blood.
Yet for Power Dao Practitioners, such injuries were not lethal and instead stirred their ferocious nature. With a wild shout, their momentum only paused briefly before they resumed their charge. When they were within ten zhang, they shouted in unison, raising their Divine Weapons, and struck towards Zhang Yan’s head with a loud whoosh.
Zhang Yan’s expression remained unchanged. With a calm wave of his large sleeve, a beam of light streaked across, and after a flash, the two brothers vanished from in front of him, leaving him alone suspended in the void.
Qu Changzhi and his two companions were stunned by this scene.
Previously, Zhang Yan had caused the dozens of Floating Boats to disappear, and now it was the turn of the Yu brothers. Unable to discern what skill this was, the three hesitated to advance.
