Geng Kun · Wing Dao Ren

  Shi Sheng brought Chang Jianchu and Zhuang Yi, the three of them swirling and flying rapidly on the turbulent sea surface, circling around the center of the immortal array's stormy winds and rains. On the periphery, they wielded their swords to slaughter the aquatic demons: shark demons with fish heads and human bodies, fish spirits with ribs that grew into dual arms, and a sea snake over ten zhang long. They killed countless other water creatures as well. Shi Sheng released the Liangui Bell, enveloping himself and his two companions within it, and endured the countless Water God Thunderbolts' frenzied slashes and slaughter.

  Suddenly, Shi Sheng's flying sword seemed to cut through something hard, and immediately a powerful force bounced his flying sword back.

  He was greatly shocked and hastily summoned his two companions to rise quickly into the air while linking their sword lights together to protect themselves at the bottom of their feet.

  The sea water was boiling like a pot, countless aquatic creatures screamed and fled in panic, as if they had encountered some kind of arch-nemesis.

  Shang Jian was shocked and said: "There must be even more terrifying creatures coming, we need to be extra careful!"

  Before the words fell, the waves rolled, revealing countless white scales, swimming from west to east towards the island reef shrouded in the immortal array.

  Shang Jianchu suddenly lost his voice and said: "It's Bai Zhong!"

  "No, it's a white snake!"

  It was indeed a huge snake over thirty feet long, swiftly swimming to the vicinity of the immortal array, and thrusting its head in. As its massive body coiled around, it stirred up a tremendous stormy wave. The dragon-headed serpent-like monster appeared on the crest of the wave, brandishing the flying spear in its hand and killing its way over. It was whipped by the snake's tail from behind and heavily struck on the lower back, instantly flying like a bundle of straw to the outer reaches of the nine heavens. The monster transformed its body, turning into a green-striped snake about the same size as the white snake, shaking its head and wagging its tail, condensing wind, waves, and clouds to hold itself aloft in mid-air, and condensing countless lightning bolts and hailstones to wildly strike downwards.

  The White Snake opened its mouth and spat out a small tripod, the mouth of which opened to shoot out countless golden lights. Inside, a nine-headed dragon-like beast appeared. The python was initially stunned by the golden light, but then let out a fierce roar, causing the clouds in the sky to gather instantly. It fell downwards like a dead snake, its body getting smaller and smaller, until it seemed about to be sucked into the tripod. Suddenly, the python spoke in human language: "Immortal, spare my life!"

  The white snake flew out of the sea, twisted its body and transformed into a white-clad girl, holding a small tripod. The dragon's body was smaller, like an earthworm, crouching on the lid of the tripod, loudly pleading: "I am also acting under orders, I hope the immortal will pity me that cultivation is not easy, spare my life, and in the future I am willing to be the immortal's servant, sweeping the courtyard, being a slave, never changing for all eternity!"

  As soon as the girl appeared, Shi Sheng was both shocked and delighted, and took Chang Jianchu with him to fly over: "Bai Niang! It's actually you!"

  Bai Ling Xian smiled and said, "I was ordered by my Shibo to go to Yan Dan Mountain to retrieve the Yu Wang's treasure. I rushed here quickly, specifically to deal with you." She turned to the dragon and said, "I am Bai Ling Xian, a disciple of the Wu Tai Sect. If you are willing to surrender, I will introduce you to my Shibo later and ask him to spare your life out of kindness. However, if not, I will capture you and put you in the cauldron, turning you into a spirit to be controlled."

  The green python did not dare say a single word, hastily knocked its head to the ground, willing to surrender. The White Spirit Immortal transformed it into a small snake and put it in her sleeve.

  "White Auntie, Brother Situ and the others are all on that island, trapped in the formation. Let's hurry up and rescue them."

  Bai Ling Xian Dao: "Yue Shu Shu is already there, we don't need to go over, lest the demon becomes alert. Do you have the guts to follow me down to the sea for a trip?"

  Shi Sheng laughed and said: "With Bai Niang around, whether in heaven or on earth, where would I dare not go?"

  "Good boy! White Aunt will take you to the Dragon Palace for a trip!" After finishing, she shook her big sleeve, opened up the sea surface, and took Shi Sheng and the other two into it, diving deep into the water thousands of feet down. All around was pitch black, unable to see even five fingers when stretching out one's hand. Only the Luan Bell had a patch of colorful cloud, and the sword lights of the three people connected together still had some bright colors. White Spirit Immortal was carefree and at ease in this vast ocean, silent and without any noise. Shi Sheng and the other two almost couldn't feel her presence. Every now and then, they would shout out, and White Spirit Immortal would laughingly respond, "Don't be afraid, White Aunt is right by your side."

  Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the front field of vision. As I continued to dive down, the colors became brighter and brighter, and I gradually saw that in a large ocean trench, there were countless night pearls, crystal-colored shells, and self-luminous jellyfish and fish, illuminating this area as brightly as daylight. Inside, many sea monsters lived crowded together, and when they saw an outsider invading, they let out strange cries, the shrimp spirits shot flying spears, the crab spirits released flying knives, the clam spirits opened their shells and wildly fired dark water arrows, and the shark spirits also shot out silk threads, forming a giant net that covered the sky.

  A dark-skinned boy flew over: "Sister Bai, the net has been set up, when will we catch them?"

  Bai Ling Xian Dao: "We still need to wait a bit, until Ge Kun and the others make their move, then we'll strike." She explained to Shi Sheng and the others, "These are all Wing Dao people's disciples, they're using magic here to cause the sea water to surge and flood Lao Mountain." And pointing at the boy, she introduced, "This is my new little brother, named Bai Kun."

  As soon as the words fell, the sky and sea suddenly shook violently. With a loud rumbling sound, an enormous explosive force transmitted through the seawater, causing Shang Jianchu, who was already injured, to feel like his body was being crushed. Instantly, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

  Bai Ling Xian Dao: "It's started above, let's get moving!" She took out the small cauldron she had used before and opened its lid, shooting out a large sheet of golden light. The nine-headed dragon-like beast reappeared, and at the same time, the boy named Bai Kun began to retrieve the Taiyin Earth Net that he had set up beforehand.

  Among the many water monsters, there was a dragon-like creature that had been following Wing Daoist Geng Kun for a long time, studying and practicing with him. Its magical powers were not weak, but when it saw the treasure held by White Spirit Immortal, which resembled the legendary precious tripod used by Yu the Great to control the waters, it was suddenly frightened out of its wits and transformed into a different shape, fleeing in advance. By the time White Spirit Immortal put away the Taiyin Earth Net, it had already escaped. It quickly swam upwards along the waterway and reached the surface of the sea, originally intending to find its master. However, it accidentally stumbled into the Great Heavenly God Array and happened to see its master engaged in a magical battle with someone else.

  Just as Shi Sheng San walked away, Yue Qing arrived and used the Xuan Guang Chi to create a billion-light halo that protected the entire island from the ice hail poisonous rain, hurricane thunder snakes' attack, and began to break through the formation.

  The Da Zhuan Tian Shen formation originated from Chi You's San Pan Jing, which is also ingenious and endless. Geng Kun set up this formation to kill a part of the people who were invited by the Lao Shan Sect, so that they would not gather together and be difficult to deal with. At this time, he saw that the forbidden law not only failed to harm Yue Qing, but also faced the danger of being broken by the opponent, and had no choice but to appear in person to eliminate the enemy.

  He had a face like jade, red lips and white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exceptionally handsome. He was tall and robust, with the upper half of his body wearing a white Taoist cloud-shoulder garment, revealing a pair of arms redder than fire. The lower half of his body wore a lotus leaf hundred-petaled Taoist skirt, with a pair of red feet, toes like bird claws, sharp and pointed. On his back grew a pair of wings, high and towering on both shoulders, spread open, incredibly four or five zhang long.

  He was also known as Wing Dao Ren, and his name came from the pair of wings that could stir up extremely violent storms with a single flap. If mixed with true energy, it could form a dragon tornado that could shake heaven and earth. He suddenly released 24 wind pillars, rapidly flying and spinning on the surface of the sea, wildly absorbing the seawater below into the air. As they rose along the wind pillar, they condensed into sharp ice blades and needles, all converging to surround and strike the island reef together.

  "Boom!" A deafening explosion, actually shattered the billions of light circles born from Xuan Guang's feet into powder, and in the dark night sky, it turned into colorful streams of light.

  Geng Kun let out a long laugh, his wings shaking violently as he flew down with a trail of bright red light, like rain, which was the feathers on his body. Each one was harder than steel and when used in battle could pierce through an enemy's heart.

  On the island, Wei Cen, Huang Qian, Yu Zhong, Yang Xiao, Gou Xian, Cui Shu, Si Tu Ping, Bo Tian Tong, Zhu Bai Ling, Shi Long Gu and others successively displayed their skills to resist the bird feathers. Each of them countered one feather. Yue Qing released the Taiyi Five Smoke Nets, which quickly rose up and enveloped the island. Geng Kun's bird feathers were shot at it, but they all bounced back. The ones previously released were also covered by the Five Smoke Nets, allowing Yue Qing to use the Xuan Guang Chi Five Color Light Circle to encase and retrieve them one by one, sealing them away: "This thing is a hybrid of the Golden Winged Peng Bird from the Desolate Lands and a human, its feathers are as hard as gold. You can take it back to refine some small trinkets."

  Geng Kun's anger ignited, and he shouted: "You demon, you're going too far!" He furiously sprayed out his true energy, stirring up the various heavenly seals that had been set up beforehand. Within the area they covered, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth began to vibrate and rub against each other, causing the four great elements of earth, water, fire, and wind to erupt simultaneously, crushing down towards the island reef above.

  Everyone stood on the reef, only to see a thin layer of five-colored mist above their heads, with fierce flames raging outside, strong winds grinding, huge waves crashing, crazy sand blasting, and the interplay of blue, white, red, black, and yellow light, as if it were doomsday, making everyone's heart tremble with fear.
