Chapter 255: An Opponent Worth Drawing a Sword Against
Inside Mist Xuan View.
Yuyang looked calmly at Zhang Daotan.
At this moment, Wish Power clung to Zhang Daotan's body, and his face was cold as frost.
When Daoist Yuyang did not make a move, Zhang Daotan felt that Yuyang's Dao Rhyme was extremely peaceful.
It was like gentle water, which is the highest evaluation in the Daoist path for one's own cultivation.
But when True Person Yuyang made the slightest move, that Dao Rhyme instantly turned into terrifying waves, as if it would drown him in the next moment.
This was not the crushing of Spiritual Power, but a pure crushing of status.
The long-silent Daoist Yuyang now revealed the elegance of the past.
Behind Daoist Yuyang, a Taiji Yin-Yang symbol emerged, and within the great hall, Yuyang's Spiritual Power had already spread out.
Zhang Daotan could only sense the Spiritual Power emitted by Daoist Yuyang, after all, this power was already pressing down on his body like a heavy mountain.
At this moment, even the air Zhang Daotan breathed in began to madly attack his body, so he chose to hold his breath and stop breathing.
After the Golden Core stage, breathing is actually dispensable; it is just a long-held habit that makes cultivators breathe like normal people.
Yuyang lowered his brows slightly and gently raised his hand; the surrounding space was immediately locked by that invisible Spiritual Power.
He murmured in a low voice, as if to himself:
"I said why... it turns out you intend to abandon your Dao Heart to seek external objects."
Zhang Daotan took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart.
This Daoist Yuyang had shown no hesitation in adopting a posture to strike the moment he summoned him.
Anyone unaware would think this Daoist Yuyang had grasped some definite intelligence.
But Zhang Daotan understood that this Yuyang was definitely bluffing, trying to trick him.
He cupped his hands in a respectful posture, his tone full of doubt:
"I do not know what Daoist Yuyang... is talking about."
Yuyang did not ask anything else; his figure flashed forward, and the Yin-Yang Taiji behind him instantly surrounded the great hall.
The opportunity had already been given; since he wouldn't speak, they would take him back to the Grand Dao Sect to talk.
If he resisted to the death, then he would send him down to tell whoever he wanted.
He came to Mist Xuan View alone, actually intending to be ready to make a move from the very beginning.
He only planned for the worst.
Zhang Daotan's spiritual senses jumped wildly, and he immediately understood that this True Person Yuyang was for real!
Facing Daoist Yuyang, who had once been famous throughout the Central State, Zhang Daotan went all out from the start.
The jade pendant at his waist burst with spiritual light, instantly transforming into a jade longsword.
The world says the Grand Dao Sect supports Mist Xuan View.
In reality, the Grand Dao Sect did not pay a single Spirit Stone, nor did they say they would protect Mist Xuan View.
The Grand Dao Sect only did one thing—gave Mist Xuan View a set of Divine Abilities that the Grand Dao Sect did not think much of.
Now it is impossible to trace which Grand Dao Sect Elder gave it after being coaxed into a good mood.
But relying on this single book of Divine Abilities, Mist Xuan View established a firm foothold in the Central State entirely on its own.
Zhang Daotan understood that the Divine Ability he mastered was laughable in front of Daoist Yuyang before him, but this was already his strongest means.
His expression was calm as he gripped the jade sword tightly and swung his most confident strike.
The space condensed instantly, and a ray of light seemed to slice through the space itself.
Zhang Daotan had not even finished swinging his sword yet.
A power capable of destroying heaven and earth appeared directly in front of Daoist Yuyang.
Yet Daoist Yuyang still reached out to grab it, as if he had not reacted to this move either.
But Zhang Daotan knew that this move of his absolutely could not deceive True Person Yuyang.
But... so what?
Zhang Daotan looked calmly at Yuyang; he had practiced this move for who knows how many hundreds of years.
He didn't understand; this set of Divine Abilities, in his eyes, had already reached the peak of perfection.
Facing this set of Divine Abilities, all he could do was endlessly learn from it.
But the more he learned, the more he understood what a heaven-sent child the creator was, and how supremely gifted they were.
Yet this set of Divine Abilities seemed to be just that dispensable in front of the Grand Dao Sect.
Therefore, things having come to this, this might be the only opportunity.
He wanted to see exactly what the core Divine Ability learned by the Grand Dao Sect's true disciple—Taiyi Divine Arts—looked like.
What exactly... was the scenery like?
Zhang Daotan widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Daoist Yuyang.
"Heh..."
Daoist Yuyang's light laughter suddenly echoed in the great hall at this moment.
A look of horror appeared on Zhang Daotan's face.
It was not because he saw the Grand Dao Sect's Taiyi Divine Arts, but because he didn't see them.
Facing the sword cultivated through bitter practice for hundreds of years, Daoist Yuyang's evaluation was merely a light laugh.
He grabbed this Divine Ability that seemed to annihilate everything with his bare hands.
Massive Spiritual Power bloomed from Yuyang's hand; the power was so great that it directly blasted the great hall to pieces.
The terrifying Spiritual Power, without obstruction, rushed straight towards the Sect Protecting Grand Array.
Zhang Daotan was standing relatively close, yet he could only feel a relatively normal Spiritual Power fluctuation.
That sword, capable of annihilating mountains, was caught by Daoist Yuyang relying solely on Spiritual Power and some incomprehensible means.
At this moment, Zhang Daotan swung his sword down.
But it was completely silent, because the sword had been caught before it could even fall.
Zhang Daotan suddenly felt like laughing...
If he just cultivated honestly like this, he feared he would cultivate for a lifetime and never be placed in the eyes of someone like Daoist Yuyang.
Even though he was now the Sect Leader of Mist Xuan View, even though he had defeated countless cultivators and was called a genius.
Indeed... cultivating immortals is boring.
Zhang Daotan took a deep breath, listening to the ringing of the Sect Protecting Bell triggered by the activation of the Sect Protecting Grand Array in his ears.
Things had reached this point, and there was no retreat.
To survive, he at least had to escape from the hands of Daoist Yuyang, who was once invincible at the same level.
Relying solely on his own strength, it was likely impossible.
So...
The light emitted by the rhombus fragment within Zhang Daotan's spiritual consciousness began to brighten abruptly.
The Wish Power, like an endless ocean in his Spirit Sea, also began to boil.
Although the problem of Divinity erosion was still not solved, this was already the last hope.
Even if the final outcome was that he still lost.
Zhang Daotan also wanted to see... exactly what the Grand Dao Sect's Taiyi Divine Arts looked like.
Boom!
One side of the Mist Xuan View Sect Protecting Grand Array was suddenly attacked.
Yuyang's spiritual consciousness quickly swept over, only to discover it was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Was this the reinforcements Zhang Daotan brought?
This is more like it... there should be a backup plan, but what could a Nascent Soul cultivator do?
With this level, they might not even be able to shatter the Sect Protecting Grand Array.
Yuyang's expression remained calm. Just as he was about to gently raise his hand, preparing to capture Zhang Daotan first.
His head suddenly turned towards the direction of the mountain gate.
Yuyang's gaze quickly locked onto a small flowing-water spiritual sword.
That flowing-water sword was silent and without violent spiritual fluctuations, not even a glimmer of light.
It was as if it were just a water sword spell casually thrown out by an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But it was precisely this flowing-water sword that, upon touching the Mist Xuan View Sect Protecting Grand Array.
Cut through it like tofu, directly blasting a huge hole in the Mist Xuan View Sect Protecting Grand Array.
A massive glow of Spiritual Power shot into the sky.
Yuyang stared intently within it, and soon, his spiritual consciousness probed over, quickly capturing a figure.
A figure standing in mid-air, wearing a white robe, and wearing a somewhat ridiculous monkey mask on their face.
The Spiritual Power emitted by that figure was also captured by Yuyang.
That was... the Spiritual Power and Dao Rhyme of an opponent!
A slight smile appeared on Yuyang's face.
This... is right!
Although he didn't know where Mist Xuan View found such a person...
He had finally found someone worth drawing his sword against.
