When Master Longbrow sensed the life-or-death crisis, he immediately retreated at full speed, while simultaneously drawing a Five Thunder Orthodox Method talisman as fast as he could.
“Boom!”
Five bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking towards Crow Taoist in unison.
“Hmph!”
Crow Taoist snorted coldly, pressing forward with his left hand
His palm gathered a terrifying force, like an endless abyss, and with a gentle sweep, he erased the five lightning bolts.
What!
Master Longbrow’s eyelids twitched wildly.
Crow Taoist’s strength exceeded his expectations.
At that moment, Crow Taoist swayed and appeared before Master Longbrow.
“Die!”
As Crow Taoist spoke, he waved his right hand, and a black light flashed from his sleeve.
Whoosh!
The black light carried a startling sharpness, swift as lightning, aiming for Master Longbrow’s forehead.
Master Longbrow was instantly shrouded in a shadow of death. With no time to think, he retreated rapidly again.
“You can’t escape. Today, you all die.”
As Crow Taoist spoke, a powerful aura erupted from him. He stepped into the air, intercepting Master Longbrow, then flicked his right sleeve back. The black light swiftly appeared above Master Longbrow’s head.
A murderous aura descended.
In this critical moment.
Master Longbrow shouted, “Qiankun borrows strength, divine speed limitless, urgent as a decree!”
Swoosh!
With a slight step, Master Longbrow’s figure moved like a stream of light, retreating dozens of metres.
This all happened in less than a second.
Though Master Longbrow dodged the fatal strike, his scalp felt cold. Reaching up, he pulled off a palm-sized piece of scalp.
Then, a sharp pain shot through his head, blood streaming down his forehead.
Master Longbrow looked down at the scalp in his hand, muttering, “Am I bald now?”
“My looks were already a bit worse than that kid’s. Now, bald? When I walk with him, which girl will even glance at me?”
“Damn you!”
Master Longbrow snapped his head up, face covered in blood, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Pointing at Crow Taoist, he roared furiously, “Bastard, the one thing I can’t stand is going bald. Today, I’ll kill you!”
As he spoke, Master Longbrow pulled out a talisman, tossed it into the air, and rapidly chanted a spell.
Suddenly.
“Boom!”
The talisman shattered, a brilliant white light appearing, forming a massive seal.
The seal hung in the air, like a giant boulder, hovering above Master Longbrow’s head.
Crow Taoist glanced at it and noticed the seal was identical in design to Longhu Mountain’s sacred treasure, the Heavenly Master Seal, only tens of thousands of times larger. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“This man is Wudang’s leader. How does he know Longhu Mountain’s secret techniques?”
“And this seal he’s created is clearly an enlarged version of the Heavenly Master Seal.”
“What is his connection to Longhu Mountain?
Crow Taoist stared coldly at Master Longbrow, asking, “Who are you, really?”
“When you’re dead, I’ll tell you,” Master Longbrow replied, using his sword finger to scribble on the seal while chanting under his breath.
Gradually, sweat beaded on Master Longbrow’s forehead, his face growing pale as paper, his aura rapidly weakening.
Crow Taoist didn’t attack immediately. He wanted to see what Master Longbrow was up to.
About ten seconds passed.
Master Longbrow forced a drop of blood from his middle finger, flicking it out. When the blood landed on the seal, red patterns appeared, intertwining and emitting a dazzling light.
“Suppress and kill!”
Master Longbrow shouted, and the seal crashed down from the sky, aiming to crush Crow Taoist.
“I thought you’d pull off something impressive. This is just a petty trick.”
Crow Taoist sneered, throwing a punch with terrifying power.
“Boom!”
His fist struck the seal, causing it to tremble.
“Your cultivation is too weak. Even with secret techniques, you can’t touch me.”
Crow Taoist spoke, then continued punching.
Bang, bang, bang!
His fists hammered the seal, making it shake violently. After three punches, the seal collapsed.
“Time to die!”
After shattering the seal, Crow Taoist waved his right hand. Instantly, the black light reappeared from his sleeve, attacking Master Longbrow.
Master Longbrow’s cultivation was far inferior to Crow Taoist’s. After using the secret technique, he was drained, unable to dodge the black light.
Just as the light was about to pierce his forehead, a Qiankun Cauldron blocked it.
“Clang!”
The cauldron stood firm, and the black light quickly retreated into Crow Taoist’s sleeve.
Master Longbrow turned to see Ye Qiu approaching, the dragon vein now gone.
Clearly, Ye Qiu had absorbed it.
“Old man, you worked hard. Leave the rest to me!
Ye Qiu spoke, then urged the Qiankun Cauldron towards Crow Taoist.
“Overestimating yourself.” Crow Taoist snorted coldly, striking the cauldron with a palm.
“Clang!”
Another loud clang.
The cauldron stood steady in the air, unmoved, blocking Crow Taoist’s palm strike.
Hm?
A trace of surprise flickered in Crow Taoist’s eyes. He knew his own strength well. That palm could kill a cultivator, yet it didn’t budge the cauldron.
Unbelievable!
“Such weak strength. Didn’t you eat?” Ye Qiu mocked.
“Kid, don’t get cocky!” Crow Taoist roared, preparing another palm strike.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu recalled the Qiankun Cauldron.
What’s this kid up to?
Crow Taoist was puzzled.
Nearby, Master Longbrow also didn’t understand Ye Qiu’s intent, shouting, “Little brat, kill him quick! This bastard made me bald!”
Ye Qiu glanced at Master Longbrow’s head, then looked at Crow Taoist, saying, “Show your full strength, or you’ll soon be a dead crow.”
With that, Ye Qiu clenched his fists.
His fists glowed with golden light, like two blazing suns, radiant and releasing immense power.
Even before Ye Qiu acted, Crow Taoist felt an unprecedented pressure.
“After absorbing the dragon vein, this kid’s strength has grown. Logically, a heavenly tribulation should descend, but why isn’t there one?”
Crow Taoist didn’t dare be careless, immediately releasing his dragon qi.
“Boom!”
Thirty-six streams of dragon qi danced wildly behind him, each about three metres long, their aura astonishing.
Ye Qiu gave a scornful smile. “Just peak Venerable? You’re too weak!”
