Chapter 831: Chapter 54: Beware of Penglai [Combined Version]_2

On the other side, Xu Ziyang was also being pursued by the Iron Eating Beast. It was already difficult for him to defend himself in such a short time, let alone pay attention to Elder Tan’s actions. The only one who could stop him was Chu Liang himself.

Hiss—

Chu Liang did not retreat a bit; while reminding the other two to be cautious, he faced the Sha energy of Elder Tan and once again struck with the Demon-slaying Sword using the one swing Void Slash.

Elder Tan swung his short halberd, vast energies sweeping across the sky clashing with Chu Liang’s Sword Qi, the exploding energy waves carved deep gorges in the bronze mountain walls around the valley.

Boom, boom, boom—

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed several more times. Elder Tan was indeed a master in the Seventh Realm, while Chu Liang had only begun his path of inquiry not long ago. However, with the augmentations provided by the Dual Golden Core, Dual Five Elements, and Double Dharma Body, his cultivation had already exceeded what it should have been at that time. Clashing with Elder Tan, he surprisingly did not fall short.

It was just a pity that Elder Tan did not possess an exotic bloodline, otherwise under the explosive power of the Demon-slaying Sword, Chu Liang could have held a significant advantage.

Logically speaking, such a deadlock was not a good thing for the three from the Shu Mountain Sect. Since Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang together could not withstand the Iron Eating Beast, and Chu Liang could not leave to stop it, Elder Tan could then immediately restart the formation to activate the Underworld River.

But Elder Tan firstly revealed an anxious expression as if he was worried about something and unwilling to continue entangling with Chu Liang.

He saw the continual swinging of his weapon, pushing Chu Liang back with chaotic energies, then suddenly leapt back and shouted towards the sky, "Aruba—"

Chu Liang had heard this before; it was a curse from the Jiuli Priest, meant to induce frenzy in Jiuli Warriors.

In this place, there was only one target Elder Tan could curse!

Indeed, after he chanted the spell, the Iron Eating Beast, which had only returned to its fierce temperament, let out another roar, "Ao hou—"

This roar echoed back and forth between the bronze mountain walls, dizzying and deafening!

The body of the Ba Tiansha swelled a bit more, its eyes redder and actions more fierce and ruthless, not recognizing its kin. With a single leap, it caught up with the Sword Aura of Xu Ziyang!

Bang—

A giant palm swiped, sending Xu Ziyang flying, slamming heavily against the mountain wall with a clang reverberating.

This spell might damage the cursed target, which is why Elder Tan had been reluctant to use it, but as time passed, he could no longer hold back.

Seeing the situation could no longer be sustained, Chu Liang also did not want to tangle any further. The shod fear the barefoot; he could not risk Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang being beaten to death and falling into the Underworld River to be reborn.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Just saw Chu Liang leap up, using Shrinkage to flash three beams of light, catching Xu Ziyang as he fell through the air. Elder Tan didn’t pay attention to him, instead flying towards the direction of the Underworld River Spring Eye, as that was the most important matter to him.

And the ferociously enraged Ba Tiansha when attacking Chu Liang this time didn’t hesitate at all, clearly having lost its rationality after the frenzy.

At this moment, let alone Chu Liang, even if a Tianyuan cultivator were here, they wouldn’t dare face it head-on.

At the critical moment, Chu Liang’s right-hand finger movements conjured an invisible light shadow across the belly of the mountain, instantly swapping the figures of the distant Elder Tan and himself.

Qiankun reversed!

Chu Liang appeared at the location of the Underworld River Spring Eye, while Elder Tan was swapped to where Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang had just been, a giant fist from Ba Tiansha smashing down upon him.

Boom—

Previously, Baize had given Chu Liang a Yin Yang Seed; after days of diligent contemplation, he had not come up empty-handed. Though he could not reverse life and death like the Yin Yang Daoist Master Baize, reversing Qian and Kun in the realm of reality and illusion was still possible.

This move would have been difficult to succeed if Elder Tan had been cautious, so Chu Liang used it unexpectedly this one time, and it indeed worked wonderfully.

"Roar—" The Iron Eating Beast smashed down, seeing the bloody mess below was Elder Tan, its eyes flickered red, and it roared again.

"Ba Tiansha!" If Elder Tan had been alive, being slammed by this fist might have killed him. Fortunately, he had already died once, and with no chance to die again, the effect of the Breath of Hades still lingered, but his body was badly mangled, immobilized as he loudly commanded, "Protect me into the formation!"

Even the frenzied Iron Eating Beast still obeyed Elder Tan’s command, showing their deep bond.

It leaped up once more, thundering down on the Underworld River Spring Eye.

And Chu Liang, who had been there earlier, had already dodged away with Xu Ziyang.

Now with the Iron Eating Beast there immovable, protecting Elder Tan in its embrace. If you say lost, Elder Tan died twice, they naturally defeated him; but to say won, it seemed still difficult to stop Elder Tan’s actions at the moment.

Just as the Underworld River started to surge again, suddenly a mighty pressure filled with ancient energy descended upon the place.

Bang—

Not just Elder Tan, but even the Iron Eating Beast was pressed to the ground by a mysterious force, unable to rise.

An Eighth Realm arrival!

...

The pressure also affected Chu Liang and the others, leaning against the mountain wall, they could only struggle to lift their eyes.

They saw a stern-faced, mysterious Daoist in dark blue robes appear in mid-air, high above, coldly watching Elder Tan beside the Underworld River Spring Eye.

"Hehe..." Elder Tan let out a miserable smile, "You have finally arrived, I really can’t accept this..."

It turned out that his previous urgency was due to fearing this mysterious Daoist’s arrival. As soon as the Iron Eating Beast broke the seal, Elder Tan knew he would inevitably come; it was only a matter of how soon.

It was just unfortunate due to Chu Liang and the others’ interference, he still had not completed his mission before this.
