Chapter 2286 - 2287: Golden Armored Deity

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators from Yinxue Tower changed their expressions.

Daoxuanzi, a prominent figure in cultivation, was ridiculing Xue Mingtai face-to-face, which was an outright insult to the entire Yinxue Tower.

An Zichen snorted and was about to speak when Xue Mingtai stopped her with a glance.

A murderous intent filled the eyes of both the Sword Emperor and Wen Taikang, burning intensely.

The Sword Emperor and Wen Taikang had led turbulent lives for half their lifetimes before finding a home in Yinxue Tower.

To them, this place was their home, and they would never allow anyone to disgrace it.

However, these two great masters had been through many battles, so despite the murder in their hearts, they didn't show it on the surface.

The others, however, were not as restrained, and Mad Blade was the first to curse out loud.

"Bull-nosed Taoist, what's the courage in assaulting us while Master Yang is in closed-door cultivation?"

"Your bastard Li Yuqing colluded with Demon Dao monsters and slaughtered two cities in Jiangnan—what of the vengeance for those masses of corpses?"

"Master Yang killed him to exorcise evil and uphold Tao and the law, so what's your reason for confronting us now?"

Mad Blade was someone who couldn't hold back his words, and this string of curses made the faces of the Kunlun Sect members pale.

Li Yuqing's actions had already spread throughout the Cultivation World, and in the eyes of most cultivators, killing and using the corpses to forge the Demon Blade wasn't a big deal.

This was inherently a world where the strong preyed on the weak, especially in the Cultivation World, where even the chance of survival could be easily obliterated for the weak.

However, such grim thoughts could only stay in one's heart; once out in the open, everyone was morally righteous and virtuous.

A traditional and renowned sect like the Kunlun Mountains always prided itself on exorcising evil and upholding justice, making Li Yuqing's actions a disgrace to the sect.

Therefore, led by Daoxuanzi, the entire Kunlun Mountains sought out Yinxue Tower, daring only to speak of dueling and discussion, not revenge for Li Yuqing.

Daoxuanzi was furious and waved his sleeve.

"Silence! Dual teachings between two sects are a very common thing."

"If Yinxue Tower wants to retreat in cowardice and act like a turtle, that's fine, but coming here to use my son as an excuse—won't that be the laugh of the cultivation world?"

Mad Blade wanted to say something more, but Xue Mingtai had already waved his hand to stop him.

"Alright, there's no need to argue further. Since Master Daoxuanzi wants to probe the skills of Yinxue Tower, please enter."

Having said this, Xue Mingtai led the group aside, making way.

Daoxuanzi gave Mad Blade a deep look, his eyes revealing murderous intent, but Mad Blade snorted coldly and disdainfully turned away.

Daoxuanzi led the Kunlun Mountains cultivators into the outer courtyard of Yinxue Tower, where everyone sat as hosts and guests, with attendants serving tea.

Daoxuanzi did not drink the tea, but kept his eyes on Xue Mingtai.

"Since Master Yang is not here, I would like to witness Young Master Ming Tai's divine skills of Yinxue Tower—would that be possible?"

Everyone secretly cursed Daoxuanzi for his shamelessness.

In terms of status, Daoxuanzi was the Sect Master of Kunlun, while Xue Mingtai was the Acting Sect Leader of Yinxue Tower, making them equals.

However, Xue Mingtai's cultivation was only at the Fifth Level Qi-Refining Stage, while Daoxuanzi was of Golden Core cultivation.

The disparity in their strength was vast, and if they were to fight, Daoxuanzi could kill Xue Mingtai in one move.

Yet, as the Acting Sect Leader of Yinxue Tower, Xue Mingtai could not avoid Daoxuanzi's challenge.

Xue Mingtai nodded slightly and stood up.

"Alright, I would also like to learn about the wonders of Kunlun Mountains' Taoist Laws."

An Zichen slowly stood up and placed herself in front of Xue Mingtai.

"I've long heard of the miraculous Taoist Laws of Master Daoxuanzi of Kunlun Mountains—please do enlighten us."

Daoxuanzi glanced at Xue Mingtai and then looked An Zichen up and down before snorting coldly.

"A Fifth Level Qi Cultivator and a Level Seven Qi Cultivator—in my eyes, you're but ants. Come at me together."

An Zichen's cultivation speed had surpassed Xue Mingtai's, breaking through continuously to Level Seven Qi Cultivation within half a year.

But even with An Zichen's Level Seven Qi Cultivation, she was still like an ant compared to the Golden Core Stage cultivator Daoxuanzi.

An Zichen, proud by nature, bit her lip, feeling immensely aggrieved.

Nie Mingtai gently patted her shoulder in comfort, then turned to walk out of the hall.

His graceful and heroic figure carried a sense of noble sacrifice.

At that moment, Liu Chan's figure flashed, stepping ahead of Xue Mingtai.

"Master Uncle, let me take this battle?"

Xue Mingtai was taken aback, looking at Liu Chan with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

Everyone knew that Kunlun Mountains had come out in full force to seek vengeance.

The only ones who could contend with the Four Great True Persons of Kunlun Mountains were Liu Chan, Xuantianzi, and the Male and Female Twin Swords, Liu Zhaozhi and his wife from Kongtong Sect.

Xue Mingtai pondered for a moment and finally nodded slowly, looking at Liu Chan with concern.

"You must be careful; if you truly cannot win, we will admit defeat."

Liu Chan nodded and walked outside the hall, waiting for Daoxuanzi.

Outside the hall was a broad square paved with bluestone, with pavilions and waterside buildings stretching endlessly not far away.

Daoxuanzi looked at Liu Chan contemptuously and snorted.

"Yang Fei has acted the cowardly turtle, sending you to your death—fine, I'll kill you first and then deal with Yang Fei."

After speaking, Daoxuanzi took out five paper figures and performed a Dharma Seal, casually tossing them into the air.

The five paper figures quickly gathered the heaven and earth vital energy and transformed into burly Golden Armored Deities, clad in armor, surrounding Liu Chan.

The five Golden Armored Deities radiated treasure light and wielded divine weapons, emanating an endless aura of majesty; each deity reached above Foundation Establishment Stage.

These five Golden Armored Deities were equivalent to five Foundation Establishment cultivators, a divine skill that was truly astonishing.

This was a secret Taoist Law of Kunlun Mountains: Transform beans into soldiers, exorcism, and commanding deities, with immense power.

The faces of the cultivators from Yinxue Tower became serious.

Liu Chan, though only a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, was faced against five opponents, making even her Qing Xu Sword struggle.

Liu Chan stood firm, her gaze tranquil and her expression calm.

Daoxuanzi stood with his hands behind him, looking at Liu Chan as if she were already dead, his demeanor turning somewhat menacing.

In this moment, the Golden Core cultivator could no longer maintain the calm in his heart.

In the next moment, the five Golden Armored Deities lunged at Liu Chan, and Liu Chan brandished her Qing Xu Sword.

Her giant sword edge spun in a circle, instantly exchanging moves with each of the five Golden Armored Deities.

The expressionless Golden Armored Deities, once repelled, quickly lunged forward again, as Liu Chan let out a clear cry, and her Qing Xu Sword split into five to fight against the deities.

Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing rang out like a storm.

The five Golden Armored Deities stirred up an overwhelming force, causing countless heaven and earth vital energies to converge into a vortex like a tornado, sweeping across, expanding outward, engulfing the dust on the ground.

In the midst of the raging tornado, Liu Chan's agile and exquisite figure flickered in and out.

With hearts in their throats, Xue Mingtai and others watched the battle nearby.
