Chapter 88: Chaos Erupts

  A group of people suddenly rushed into the temple, all wearing black clothes that covered their entire bodies, and large hats that concealed their faces. Not a single one revealed their appearance.

  This group of "black-clad fighters" had just entered the temple when they seemed to have discovered something was amiss.

  "Hey!"

  The youth in grey clothes sneered coldly, his body exuding a sharp and fierce killing aura, as if he was a spear that had pierced the black-robed man's central axis. His figure flashed like lightning, and from his hands emerged ring after ring of pure yuan force condensations, which flew out one after another. The rings shone with a dazzling cold light, spinning around in the ruined temple.

  Those black-clad figures were touched by the ring, and fresh blood immediately splattered out uncontrollably.

  Three middle-aged Taoist priests standing in a triangular formation, suddenly flashed and blocked the only temple gate of the broken temple. Each of them held a huge flame, and with their divine souls controlling the three flames, they wreaked havoc inside the temple. The black-robed Taoist priest was engulfed by the flames and soon turned into a charred corpse.

  Those corpses and the charred corpse in the middle of the temple were all dead in the same way.

  The red-clothed and green-clothed girls with three knives each also wanted to take action, but in front of them were a pair of double-headed pythons staring at them menacingly. The two women stared tightly at the double-headed pythons, their faces anxious, yet they did not dare to move rashly.

  Only that little boy, who was only around ten years old, still had an innocent and naive smile on his face. He sat motionless in the original position, with three flying blood snakes tightly attached to his neck, shoulders, and icy eyes constantly darting around inside the temple.

  The princess sat calmly beside two girls, furrowing her brow and looking around in confusion at the sudden commotion that had erupted inside the temple.

  After observing for a while, he discovered that there must have been a battle inside the temple before. The charred corpses and dust were likely the result of the three middle-aged men who are now blocking the temple entrance. The black-clad figures with bamboo hats who just arrived might be in league with those who died inside the temple earlier.

  There were some suspicious-looking young boys, two pale-faced girls in grey clothes, and three middle-aged men who seemed to be from the Ten Directions Sect. They all appeared to have their sights set on the black-clad figures with conical hats. However, these four groups didn't seem to be working together either. It was as if they had been at odds before he arrived, otherwise they wouldn't have remained silent for so long.

  The battle is ongoing.

  The young man in grey clothes, when coughing, seemed to be seriously ill, but once he started moving his hands, he was ruthless and cold-blooded, making people's hearts palpitate!

  Heaven and man, eyes, body, hands outside three unities, essence, energy, spirit inside three unities, as one!

  The circular ring was released from his hand, killing the surrounding black hoods one by one, with blood flowing like a river. Down ten square heavenly soldiers, look at that grey-clothed youth's appearance, seemingly not having used full strength yet.

  Those three middle-aged heavenly masters, in the realm of the Five Elements Heaven, the Four Symbols main repair sacred beast Vermilion Bird, the five elements repair fire. Three clusters of flames under the control of the three people rolled around inside the temple, and every black-clad figure that came into contact with them was immediately engulfed in a raging inferno, turning into an unrecognizable corpse in an instant.

  Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

  A huge hail of bullets rained down on the broken temple, producing a deafening roar. The battle inside had reached its climax and more than half of the black-clad fighters who had entered were already dead or wounded.

  "Uggghhh..."

  Suddenly, a strange and eerie low-pitched howl came from outside the temple, similar to the cries of ten black ghost insects, but thicker.

  A strange noise rang out, and all the black-robed figures in the temple suddenly went mad and launched a crazy attack on the three middle-aged Tian Shi who were controlling the fireballs at the single gate. The pressure increased greatly, and some of them became busy and flustered.

  Wow!

  A dull thud came from the temple entrance, a massive force suddenly struck, and the middle-aged Tian Shi closest to the temple entrance was knocked flying, crashing into the center of the temple.

  Several black-clad figures with conical hats swiftly brought down their weapons, and the middle-aged Tian Shi who was knocked flying didn't even have time to get up before he was covered in blood.

  "Wooo... wooo..." The voice outside the temple grew more urgent.

  The youth in grey suddenly shot out of the temple, and the middle-aged Tian Shi at the door was full of sorrow on his face, but at the same time he stepped aside. Circle after circle of bright rings flew out like shooting stars, closely following the fleeing youth in grey.

  Losing the balance of the gray-robed youth, the black-robed Taoist priests also rushed out at the same time, seemingly wanting to converge on the area where the strange cries came from. Two middle-aged Tian Shi who had lost their companions, Tian Shi from all directions, gazed sadly at their companion's corpse and followed them out with a hateful expression.

  In a flash, there was no longer a single living black-clad figure in the temple.

  A boy of about ten years old finally stood up, smiled and looked at Ji Changkong with a glance, and also jumped out of the broken temple. Three flying blood snakes were stuck on his neck and shoulders, and his icy eyes measured the surroundings, as if preparing to respond to the impending danger at any time.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  The two girls and Ji Changkong stood in front, the double-headed python that had been coiled up did not leave, its mouth open wide like a bloody basin on the ground, those ten heavenly warriors were killed by the gray-clothed youth's ring, their black hoods had a lot of blood flowing out, the double-headed python drank very happily.

  "Sister! What should we do!" The green-clad girl finally couldn't bear the awkward silence and stamped her foot.

  "We're coming too!" The red-clothed girl steeled herself, brandished the short sword with a cold glint in her hand, and hastily rushed to charge out of the broken temple.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  The two-headed python suddenly stopped drinking blood and stared at the two girls, its body agile, just blocking the way of the two girls.

  With her eyes narrowed, Ji Changkong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the two girls with great interest, wondering how they would react.

  Outside the temple, the yuan force fluctuated violently, and the hail grew larger as it fell. Even the Tian Shi from all directions could only stand firm if they knew how to harness the power of heaven and earth. However, even powerful Tian Shi would be subject to various constraints in such a situation. If they didn't use their powers wisely, they might encounter enormous trouble with just one misstep.

  Outside, several groups of people were fiercely fighting under the hailstones as big as fists, and the battlefield was constantly shifting, gradually moving away from this broken temple.

  Perception extension, Ji Changkong could roughly guess the movement outside and its meaning to the actual situation. Although he was very curious in his heart, he didn't choose to watch but quietly stayed inside the temple, using his spiritual awareness to feel the changes outside.

  These days, he had already realized the cruelty of human hearts and knew that not everyone who cultivates the Way of Heaven is kind. Dust Wind, sometimes, perhaps just a careless glance could bring endless trouble to oneself. He knew his current strength was barely enough to protect himself, let alone provoke others.

  "Kill this stinky python."

  The red-clothed girl was furious, having been stared at by the two-headed python for so long and being restricted everywhere. She had a belly full of anger, and previously the owner of the two-headed python was here, but now that he's gone, she immediately became bolder.

  "Be careful, Xiao Rou, the snake's venom is potent!" The red-clad girl warned, her shining short sword bursting with a crimson blade energy as she suddenly struck at the two-headed python.

  When the green-clothed girl's silver whip was drawn out, a white light flashed, carrying the murderous aura of the sacred beast White Tiger. After the double-headed python was struck in the middle, one head had a shallow whip mark on it, and it immediately became extremely furious, shaking its two heads constantly, not only dodging the attacks from the two girls' lower waves but also spewing out strands of green toxic smoke.

  "Sister, be careful!" The green-clothed girl was shocked and pale, seeing the double-headed snake's one head making a strange flash, and it actually flashed directly to the left foot of the red-clothed girl. The silver whip in her hand swung out layer upon layer of whip shadows, forgetting her own safety, only thinking of saving her red-clothed sister.

  The other head of the double-headed python, which had been dodging and weaving along the ground, suddenly shot up high and bit down hard on the snow-white neck of the green-clad girl.

  Bang!

  The old wooden table leg suddenly flew out like lightning and accurately stuffed into the big mouth of the double-headed python that was biting towards the green-clothed girl.

  A meter-long wooden table leg was stuck between her upper and lower lips, and when it reached the green-clothed girl's mouth, she took a big bite, and the wooden table leg suddenly broke into two pieces.

  However, the green-clothed girl who was slowed down by the wooden table leg also took the opportunity to retreat and hastily stood together with the red-clothed girl, sticking to the corner of the temple.

  "Thank you," said the green-clad girl, casting a glance at Ji Changkong who was sitting there indifferently, and hastily expressed her gratitude in a soft voice.

  She nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. Ji Changkong continued to narrow her eyes, using her senses to probe the movements outside the temple.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  Unexpectedly, the two-headed python that had been staring at the girl and chasing after her suddenly gave up its pursuit of the two girls and instead turned around and pounced on Ji Changkong.

  This double-headed python was quite spiritual, and as soon as Ji Changkong made a move, it saw everything clearly. Ji Changkong hated the good things that were about to be broken, seemingly planning to get rid of Ji Changkong first.

  Damn it, what a hassle!

  He let out a low hiss and suddenly the small dagger flashed with silver light, he abruptly stood up, his eyes calmly staring at the pouncing double-headed python.

  "Sister!" The green-clad girl cried out in a loud voice.

  "Help him!" The red-clothed girl stamped her foot, and she, who had just come to herself, and the green-clothed girl together beheaded the double-headed python from behind.

  The red-clothed and green-clothed girls were both afraid of the two-headed snake, largely because they feared the green toxic smoke that the two-headed python would spew out. This was something that Ji Changkong did not fear.

  In the poisonous dragon pond and various ferocious beasts, he found that neither the toxic miasma of Yunmeng Daze that lingered all year round nor the toxic smoke from the ferocious beasts' mouths seemed to be able to truly harm him. Therefore, when the two-headed python pounced on him, not only did he not dodge, but instead, he even burrowed into the area between the two heads of the python where the green toxic smoke was most concentrated.

  "Ah!" cried the green-robed girl who was called Little Rong, suddenly exclaiming in surprise. "Ugly big fellow, Yu Xian, hurry and dodge!"

  "It's done! The red-clothed girl secretly exclaimed in her heart, and quickly grabbed the green-clothed girl's hand, saying: "This person is actually a fool, let's ignore him and take advantage of the opportunity to leave."

  Plop!

  At this moment, one of the heads of the double-headed python suddenly flew up from its neck, spattering foul-smelling fresh blood.
