Chapter 171 Another Surprise Attack
After witnessing the expression on the Tongtian Sect Leader's face, Taibai knew that there was no need to say anything more.
Now that the teacher has decided to gather evidence, it's only a matter of time before Chang Er Ding Guang Xian is listed on the list and punished.
Once he made up his mind, he presented another item instead.
"Teacher, these are some rudimentary theories that I have recently come to understand from my study of the teachings of the Jie Sect. If you could take a look and correct them when you have some free time, that would be my great fortune."
Taibai respectfully presented a book that had been prepared beforehand.
The book is a collection of his thoughts and feelings, which he combined with the fundamental principles of the Jie Sect, such as education for all.
He believed that with his extraordinary abilities, he would gain a new understanding after reading the book.
After handing over the book, Taibai bowed again and quietly left Biyou Palace.
Taibai had already sensed that Jiang Ziya had arrived at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and joined the Chan Sect.
This is undoubtedly a clear signal that the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is approaching, and the calamity aura between heaven and earth is growing stronger day by day.
He must hurry to the territory of the Yin-Shang dynasty to see the current situation firsthand before he can plan his next move.
Having made up his mind, Taibai transformed into a wisp of light and left Jin'ao Island.
However, just as he had left Jin'ao Island and his mind had relaxed slightly, a strange change occurred.
Two dark lights tore through the void and shot silently from behind him, their speed as fast as teleportation.
"Sneak attack!"
Taibai forcefully twisted his body to the left, barely avoiding a blow aimed directly at his back.
Another dark light had already reached him, and he could no longer dodge it.
In a split second, Taibai's mind raced, and a pure white lotus phantom bloomed instantly on his chest, with layers of purifying divine light spreading out to protect him at the center.
With a soft "hiss," the all-powerful divine light of purification was pierced by the fine, hair-like black light.
Thanks to the protection of the Pure World White Lotus, the trajectory of the black light was slightly deflected, grazing past Taibai's ribs.
"What?"
The outer layer of the purifying divine light was pierced by that poisonous needle, which greatly surprised Taibai.
Fortunately, the Pure White Lotus deflected the poisoned needle, preventing Taibai from being injured.
He steadied himself in an instant, and his powerful divine sense spread out in all directions, detecting even the slightest discordant fluctuation.
At the same time, the Pure White Lotus hung above his head, casting down rays of peaceful white light, firmly protecting him, while the Gengjin Longsword was quietly held in his hand.
The moment his divine sense swept across the void above, the killing intent erupted once more.
"die!"
Suddenly, a cultivator enveloped in green mist appeared above Taibai's head.
"The Law of Poison!"
Taibai's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, his feet flashed with light as he retreated rapidly, simultaneously unleashing the Gengjin longsword in his hand.
Instead of a direct thrust, it unleashed a dense curtain of sword energy, with countless sharp sword energies crisscrossing in an attempt to block its momentum.
However, the green figure did not dodge or evade the sword energy that tore through the void. Instead, its downward momentum increased by three times, and it crashed straight into the sword net.
"Clang clang clang clang!"
The sword energy slashed at the surrounding green poisonous gas, producing a crackling, corrosive sound. The green gas churned violently, and large swathes of it were dispersed by the sharp sword intent.
However, when the sword energy struck its true body, not even a white mark was left on its surface.
Then, the cultivator broke through the sword net with an even more ferocious attitude and threw a punch at Taibai.
Upon seeing this, Taibai was even more horrified.
In the primordial world, those with such powerful physical bodies that they could withstand the innate Geng metal sword energy without injury were few and far between.
The Wu tribe was known for its invincible physical strength and ability to fight against heaven and earth. However, after the Wu-Yao calamity, the ancestral Wu fell and the great Wu went into seclusion, no longer active in the primordial world.
Several images of powerful Wu clan warriors known for their physical prowess flashed through his mind, only to be quickly dismissed.
But the enemy gave him no time to think and continued to hurl their attacks at Taibai.
Although the Taibai sword technique was exquisite, the Gengjin longsword had little effect on the opponent, and instead, the recoil caused the user's arm to become sore and numb.
"This can't go on!"
Taibai knew that in a physical close-quarters combat contest, he was no match for this person.
He seized an opening and retreated again, at the same time his Gengjin longsword disappeared and the God-Slaying Spear appeared.
In terms of attack power alone, the God-Slaying Spear is no less powerful than the Pangu Banner.
If even it cannot harm the opponent, Taibai will have to resort to other means.
As he retreated, he summoned the God-Slaying Spear once more.
The next moment, Taibai unleashed the full power of his spear, and the God-Slaying Spear transformed into a cold light, piercing straight at the cultivator. This time, the spear tip finally broke through the defense, splattering blood.
Taibai was overjoyed and immediately launched a continuous attack with his spear, the spear shadows like rain, enveloping the opponent.
Although he had the upper hand for a time, Taibai soon felt his strength rapidly draining away.
His movements gradually slowed down, and even the circulation of the Five Elements Laws became much more sluggish.
Sensing something amiss, Taibai retreated rapidly again, his breathing becoming heavy.
"This person is not only physically strong, but also has a meticulous understanding of the laws of poison... He is truly troublesome."
However, the cultivator gave him no chance to catch his breath and attacked again.
Fortunately, Taibai used the Five Elements Law to protect his body and heal his injuries; otherwise, the poison would have already penetrated his bones, causing his death and the dissipation of his spiritual essence.
He immediately enveloped his body with the power of the five elements to prevent being corroded by that invisible poison again.
The two clashed again, their moves clashing hard, each punch landing with a visceral impact.
However, the opponent's physical body was too strong, and Tai Bai could not fight it head-on. He was gradually forced to retreat step by step.
Suddenly, Taibai seized an opening, distanced himself from the cultivator, and swiftly formed hand seals.
Five halos appeared in front of him, with the power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—flowing and converging.
This was the Great Five Elements Technique he had previously comprehended, a divine power inherited from the Five Elements Demon God.
Although Taibai was not yet able to unleash its full power, he believed it was sufficient to deal with the formidable enemy before him.
Without hesitation, he activated the laws with all his might, and in the next instant, the Great Five Elements Technique erupted.
"The Great Five Elements Technique!"
Rumble!
A magnificent beam of five elements light tore through space and rushed toward the cultivator.
The opponent sensed the danger and immediately dodged, but Taibai, guided by his mind, controlled the beam of light to relentlessly pursue them.
The supernatural power lasted only three breaths before it almost completely drained Taibai's magical power.
He braced himself on his knees, panting heavily, and tried his best to circulate the Five Elements Laws to restore his cultivation.
The spot where the cultivator had been standing had been blasted beyond recognition, leaving only a severed arm.
Just when Taibai thought it was all over, the arm suddenly moved.
In just a few breaths, the cultivator managed to reshape his body using his remaining fragments, restoring himself to his original state.
His aura was noticeably weaker, but his cultivation level had not dropped.
"Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique... Seventh Revolution?"
Taibai blurted out, all hope gone. Since the other party had already made their move, they were clearly an enemy, not a friend.
Without hesitation, he immediately summoned the Pangu Banner, intending to draw upon the power of the sage within to completely suppress and kill it.
However, at that moment, the cultivator suddenly removed all his disguise and shouted:
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment! I merely saw that your cultivation has improved so rapidly, and I was itching to test my skills."
Taibai stared intently at it and was slightly startled.
After being separated for so long, he never expected that the other party would have improved his cultivation to such a level; it was truly unexpected.
