Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 404 - 29 Zhang Daobai_1
Chapter 404: Chapter 29 Zhang Daobai_1
The wind roared violently.
Countless spells, magic tools, talismans… Forming streaks of light as numerous as a fiery sky, so much so that they seemed to suppress the light of day.
Down below, the cultivators locked in the foundation establishment were still immersed in their bloody carnage.
However, at this moment, the Golden Core masters of the three major sects couldn’t help but halt their actions, their faces turning pale as they stared at the figure of an old man hovering in mid-air.
The figure was not particularly tall, dressed in a slightly ill-fitting wide indigo robe.
He even seemed a little hunched over.
Hovering in mid-air, his speckled white hair and large robe were blown a bit messily by the gale driven by his mana.
Still, no one dared to underestimate the figure before them.
Because he was none other than Zhang Daobai.
Within the sects of Yan State, the sole Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, a formidable elder who had dominated Yan State for many years, causing fear to ripple through the three major sects whenever his name was mentioned.
“You… you’re not dead…”
Lin Boyue’s voice was harsh, his gaze carrying an unprecedented seriousness and a hint of reverence.
Meanwhile, Zhu Rong and Chu Xiao also silently stood on either side of Lin Boyue.
Shock clearly etched on their faces too.
“Hehe.”
The elder’s face, as dry as a piece of wood, held no hint of a smile:
“Just an astronomical illusion, easy to pull off.”
“Without the illusion, how else would I have been able to lure you reckless youngsters out?”
Hearing this, Lin Boyue couldn’t help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart, despite all his suspicions.
He had been too eager.
He naturally assumed that Zhang Daobai’s demise was inevitable, yet he never expected the man to resort to such a tactic.
Or perhaps his previous success had made him complacent.
His gaze briefly swept over the corpses of the several Golden Core masters who had fallen nearby.
A total of five people, two from the Huifeng Valley, two from the Danlong School, and one from the Xuli sect…
In just an instant, the three major sects had lost five Golden Core masters!
Under normal circumstances, such a loss would be earthshaking.
But at the moment, they had no time to mourn their comrades.
Facing Yan State’s most renowned figure, no one dared to show even a sliver of negligence.
“Formation!”
Lin Boyue let out a low growl.
Following his command, the remaining three Golden Core masters of the Xuli sect promptly teamed up with the Wujing School’s two masters restrained by the prohibitions to form a Five-man Array.
Although the Array was a little raw in its rotation, the aura it radiated far exceeded that of an ordinary Golden Core master.
“Five Sutras Emptiness Array… So that’s why you annihilated the Wujing School, to steal their array!”
The old man’s eyes fluttered open slightly, a glint flashing past them.
Without uttering a single word, a vast and seemingly infinite amount of mana surged forth from the void, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already by the side of a lone Golden Core master!
A spell began to coalesce in the palm of his hand, casting it in silence towards the still dazed Golden Core master!
Crack!
The light of the magic tool that lit up the perimeter of the Golden Core master flickered out the moment it brightened!
But the magic tool managed to block most of the attack’s power, allowing the Golden Core master to snap back to his senses. Coughing up blood, he used the force of the blow to hurriedly retreat. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As he retreated, countless talismans flew out from his sleeve, instantly forming a gigantic talisman web that aimed to restrain Zhang Daobai!
Inside this web of talismans, a myriad of weapons and countless Class II spells along with a few Class III spells targeted Zhang Daobai!
“What a pathetic move!”
A cold light flashed across Zhang Daobai’s eyes, and without hesitation, he thrust out his palm!
Boom!
A surge of his immense mana, as unstoppable as a breached dam, burst forth!
This easily crushed the intervening spells…
Then, with a swift move, he broke free from the talisman web and formed his fingers into a sword. Instantly a flying sword shot forth from his sleeve!
“It’s a magic treasure!”
The faces of Lin Boyue and the others blanched instantly!
However, there were a few among the group of Golden Core masters who quickly realized something:
“No, it just closely resembles a Class IV magic tool!”
Class I to Class III belong to magic tools, however, reaching Class IV, a magic tool truly gains a spiritual nature, it can maintain itself over a longer period despite the wear and tear of time.
Often, it is cherished as a hereditary treasure by a sect, hence, these tools are also known as ‘magic treasures’.
Unlike magic tools, the necessary materials for creating a magic treasure are extremely rare, thus almost all cultivators within Yan State have only ever heard of it.
It appeared that this Golden Core master was about to lose his life to Zhang Daobai.
At this moment, Lin Boyue abandoned all false hopes, and he, Zhu Rong, and Chu Xiao came to a rapid consensus. The three of them immediately joined forces to oppose Zhang Daobai.
Right after that, several other Golden Core masters followed suit.
The grand battle exploded instantly.
While simultaneously,
Above the high platform.
Out of the original twenty or so Golden Core masters, only a handful remained to coordinate the battle.
Among them were Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai.
Yuan Wenzhi’s gaze darted around, then suddenly said to a few Xuli sect Golden Core masters who were attacking Wu Siqi in formation:
“Gentlemen, I’ll send my second brother to assist you!”
After saying this, he quickly turned to Zhang Tailai and said, “Second Brother, you go first.”
“Eh? What about you, eldest brother?”
A puzzled Zhang Tailai responded.
“I’m here to protect Shen…”
Yuan Wenzhi replied casually.
Although his words suggested as such, Yuan Wenzhi’s gaze was firmly fixed on the Golden Core masters of the three major sects.
As though he was gauging something.
Completely different from before, he didn’t pay Wang Ba any mind.
Though Zhang Tailai still didn’t quite understand, he was very obedient towards Yuan Wenzhi. Without further delay, he shot off towards the stated direction.
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Ba’s gaze subtly flickered, and he quietly began to step back.
