Chapter 241 Jiang Ziya is rescued
The Holy Mother of Fire originally intended to burn Jiang Ziya to ashes with Samadhi True Fire, but then she remembered that her disciple had been killed by Jiang Ziya with a single whip, and immediately changed her mind.
Since her disciple had died under the whip, she would repay him with a sword and take Jiang Ziya's life.
"My life is over!"
Jiang Ziya was caught off guard and cried out in surprise, falling off his horse.
However, he was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. He immediately summoned the God-Slaying Whip and struggled to block the sword that the Holy Mother of Fire was slashing down.
"Fellow Daoist, life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield, so why hold onto any attachments?"
Within ten rounds, Jiang Ziya was still able to fight the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit to a standstill, relying on the God-Slaying Whip.
However, Jiang Ziya, being physically weak, could not match the cultivation level of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit.
As time went by, his strength waned, and the God-Slaying Whip in his hand was finally knocked away.
"Hmph, Jiang Ziya, today is your death day!"
With a cold shout, the Holy Mother of Fire raised her sword and slashed down at Jiang Ziya's head.
Just when she thought she had avenged her great enemy, a whirlwind suddenly rose in front of her, and with a loud "whoosh," the Holy Mother of Fire was forcefully thrown away.
She flipped herself up, stared intently at the person who had come, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
The man was surrounded by a chilling aura, and his figure was exceptionally tall and imposing, bearing a striking resemblance to the demon master Kunpeng she had once seen.
Although the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit's cultivation was not top-notch, her teacher was a direct disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master.
Therefore, under the tutelage of her teacher Duobao, she had also heard of the great beings of the prehistoric world.
Among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, there were people like Kunpeng and Zhenyuanzi. Although she had never seen them in person, she had seen their portraits at her master Duobao Daoren's place. Therefore, she recognized the person in front of her at a glance as being exactly the same as Kunpeng.
But she didn't know that this was not the real Kunpeng.
Previously, Kunpeng was seriously injured because of Taibai, and at this moment, that demon master should still be healing in the depths of the Northern Underworld.
The person before us is actually Taibai, who came from Wuzhuang Temple in disguise.
Taibai had been secretly observing the battle. Seeing the astonishing power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and noticing that Lingya Xian, Jinguang Xian, and others possessed numerous spiritual treasures, he knew that the disciples of the Chan Sect would have no chance of resisting.
He then decided to take matters into his own hands, and if the opportunity arose, he would take the opportunity to eliminate several disciples of the Jie Sect who were burdened with karmic debts.
However, he was ultimately a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master in name only, and it was inconvenient for him to act in his true form.
After much deliberation, he was unwilling to use the identity of other fellow practitioners, lest he attract even greater karmic consequences.
Finally, he thought of the demon master Kunpeng, who had always wanted to kill him.
Transforming into the Kunpeng, any future resentment among the disciples of the Jie Sect will be directed at the Kunpeng, not at themselves.
Moreover, he has already used a spiritual treasure to conceal the secrets of heaven. Not to mention these disciples, even those at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm would find it difficult to deduce the truth unless the Saint himself intervenes.
Even so, Taibai still believed that even if the Tongtian Sect Leader knew everything, he would never blame him.
After all, what he did was not for his own selfish interests, but for the overall benefit of the Jie Sect.
The Holy Mother of Fire, suppressing her surprise and doubt, respectfully asked:
"This junior pays respects to Senior Kunpeng. May I ask why you have come here, and why you attacked me?"
Taibai, transformed into a Kunpeng, slowly spoke to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit:
"You must be Duobao's disciple. Your foundation is quite good; you're already close to the Golden Immortal realm at such a young age. Go back now, lest you die here in vain."
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is a person of great loyalty and righteousness, and she is not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Her decision to come down the mountain to help Lingya Fairy and the others was also out of loyalty to her fellow disciples.
Moreover, she was a direct disciple of Daoist Duobao, making her his junior disciple.
With a tap of the fingertip, one is instantly transported to the exciting world of Chapter 241, where Jiang Ziya is rescued.
It would be a real pity to send such a disciple, with such a profound background and outstanding talent, to the Investiture of the Gods to be driven by the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, Taibai did not want to take her life.
However, upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Fire showed no sign of retreat; instead, her eyes gleamed with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Senior, although I know I am no match for you, I will avenge the murder of my disciple today and ensure that Jiang Ziya dies a horrible death!"
Before she finished speaking, the hatred in the eyes of the Holy Mother of Fire intensified. Her magical power surged, and she activated the Golden Crown, which transformed into a dazzling stream of crimson-gold light, continuing to hurtle towards Jiang Ziya.
Wherever the golden crown passed, the air seemed to ignite, emitting a low, mournful wail.
Upon seeing this, Kunpeng's eyes flashed with surprise.
He couldn't understand where this little Fire Spirit Mother got her confidence to still dare to make a move.
This situation made him see things more clearly: the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit must have been neglected in her upbringing and had become arrogant.
Anyone with even a sliver of self-awareness would never dare to act under these circumstances.
"Ugh."
Kunpeng sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to carry a hint of regret.
"Young friend, you are far too arrogant. Who gave you the audacity to attack a quasi-saint? Today, I will act as your teacher and teach you a lesson."
Having said that, he simply pushed his right palm forward.
The next moment, the Holy Mother of Fire, along with her dazzling golden crown, was firmly held down, unable to move forward even an inch.
Immediately afterwards, Kunpeng slightly curled his five fingers and made a half-closed gesture.
"Certainly."
The Holy Mother of Fire froze in mid-air, unable to even tremble her fingertips.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, terror overwhelmed hatred.
The next moment, Kunpeng gently closed his five fingers that were joined together.
"what!"
A piercing scream burst from the throat of the Holy Mother of Fire.
It was a sense of detachment and emptiness that came from the depths of her soul. She was shocked to discover that the immense magical power she had cultivated for thousands of years had vanished without a trace in an instant.
Her cultivation level at the peak of the Xuanxian realm plummeted, and her Dao fruit became dim. In the blink of an eye, she had severed her connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming as weak as an ordinary person who had never cultivated.
"Don't worry, I haven't destroyed your cultivation; I've just temporarily sealed your magical power."
Kunpeng's voice remained calm, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
"From now on, you shall stay on Jin'ao Island, live a quiet life, and never step outside the island again."
If you are still determined to seek revenge, you might as well take a look at how many people in this world of conflict are not tainted with innocent karma, apart from those who are truly carrying out a mission.
Obsession is like a knife; it wounds yourself first, then others. Stop being confused.
Having said all that, Kunpeng lightly waved his sleeves.
Before the Holy Mother of Fire could even utter a cry of alarm, she felt her body lighten and transform into a streak of light, involuntarily flying towards the distant Golden Turtle Island, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
After dealing with this interlude, Kunpeng slowly turned around and calmly looked at Jiang Ziya, who was already stunned.
Jiang Ziya was only now snapping out of his extreme shock. The heaven-defying power of those words had far exceeded his comprehension.
He hurriedly straightened his clothes, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and stepped forward, wanting to bow deeply to express his gratitude.
However, before he could speak, Kunpeng raised his hand again and casually flicked it.
A gentle breeze swept by, enveloping Jiang Ziya and the surviving soldiers.
The scenery before their eyes shifted and the world seemed to change. When they finally regained their footing and looked around, they found themselves back inside the walls of Lintong Pass.
