Yang Junshan and Zhong Kui were harvesting the Metal Element’s Source Spirit wantonly in their White Tiger Secret Realm, using it to increase their cultivations.
The reason was simple, because on the journey to the secret realm, he had discovered that Zhong Kui was not simply bumping into him. The path he took was extremely clear, which meant that Zhong Kui was very likely to be extremely familiar with the inner parts of the secret realm.
This point was something that not only Tang Ruoqing could see, but also Yang Junshan.
“Mr. Zhong seems to be very familiar with the Department of Secret Domain.” Yang Junshan asked.
Zhong Kui nodded. The trump card in his hand was slowly being revealed. In fact, up until now, there was no need to keep it a secret anymore.
“Does this mean that Fellow Daoist Zhong should also know where the rare treasures left behind by the White Tiger demon clan in the secret realm are?” Tang Ruoqing said.
Zhong Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly. “It’s not that simple. During that day, Immortal White Tiger only allowed me to take three items out. Once I surpass three items, I’ll definitely suffer a backlash from the secret realm.”
Tang Ruoqing coldly snorted, and said: “What kind of backlash? White Tiger is already dead, just how many tiger spirits are there in the secret realm? ”
Zhong Kui looked at Tang Ruoqing in shock and said, “Dao Friend Tang, you can be considered to be an extremely experienced Golden Immortal within the starry sky. How can you say such shallow words? The White Tiger had once been a member of the demon race, and even the entire space, how infamous were they?! How could the inheritance secret realms left behind by them not have any methods to counter them? ”
Tang Ruoqing snorted, but her expression was one of disapproval.
Zhong Kui sneered, “Let’s not talk about other things. Once the secret plane disintegrates, even we might not be able to deal with the space storm. Not to mention, Fellow Daoist, are you willing to let the secret realm collapse to get the benefits?”
The three of them had been testing each other out on their way and had been secretly scheming against each other.
Yang Junshan had already gotten used to it, but he could feel that Zhong Kui was actually hiding many things from him, and all of these things allowed him to always be the dominant figure amongst the trio.
While they were talking, the three of them arrived in front of a hill.
Zhong Kui’s gaze swept over the hill as he muttered to himself.
Yang Junshan listened carefully, only to hear some words that sounded like a crouching tiger, “There’lace with a tiger” and the like. It seemed like they were hinting at a treasure trove in the secret realm.
“It should be here!”
Zhong Kui said in a low voice as he beckoned for the two of them to go around the hill in front of them. They saw a strange terrain behind the hill, which looked like a gigantic tiger lying on its side with its belly slightly protruding outwards.
Zhong Kui’s face lit up as he walked towards the center of the valley.
Tang Ruoqing and Yang Junshan immediately followed along, but just as they reached the center of the valley, they saw Zhong Kui standing a few meters in front of them, unmoving, while Tang Tang and Yang Dong were unable to see him clearly because of the dense platinum-colored baleful qi.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Junshan sensed that something was amiss, and asked.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Kui suddenly raised his hand and gestured, “Be quiet!”
As the two of them walked forward a few steps, the situation within the valley began to become clear. However, the two of them simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Huff, puff ~ ~”
A deep sound of dozing came from the valley. A white tiger that seemed to be larger than the combined three spirits of tigers was curled up in the valley sleeping. As it snorted, a great amount of pure platinum baleful qi was swallowed and exhaled.
“This is a guardian beast, and alsiger spirit. However, it is unable to leave this valley.” Zhong Kui whispered.
Tang Ruoqing said: “In other words, the treasure you want to take is in this valley?”
Zhong Kui nodded as he sternly said, “I would like to ask the two of you to assist me in restraining this Tiger Guardian Spirit so that I can obtain the items I need.”
Yang Junshan looked at the guardian beast whose body seemed to occupy half of the valley, and said: “Is this a Guardian Beast of the Golden Immortal Realm, a Tiger Spirit?”
Zhong Kui paused for a moment, but didn’t conceal anything. He nodded, “That’s right. I might be able to deal with it with my own strength. However, it’s too difficult to think of the item I need. Fellow Daoists, please lend mand.”
Yang Junshan still wanted to say something, but Tang Ruoqing had already grasped both her golden cymbals in her hands, and fell down the middle of the valley.
“Hmph, Fellow Daoist Zhong, please don’t forget your promise!”
A deafening roar immediately sounded out from within the valley, followed by a loud explosion that began to spread outwards along with the ripples of space.
Yang Junshan pointed with his finger, and the Mountain Monarch Seal started to spin on top of his head.
Yang Junshan nodded towards Zhong Kui as he took a step forward and arrived in the air above the valley.
Zhong Kui’s voice came from behind him. “Be careful of those three mystic realm tiger spirits.”
Yang Junshan looked down, to see Tang Ruoqing and her protector, the White Tiger, fighting against each other.
The massive body of the Guardian Beast wreaked havoc in the valley. However, it did not cause any changes to the valley’s terrain.
Yang Junshan’s hands formed a seal, pointed towards the Mountain Monarch Seal above, and said: “Fall!”
The three-inch square Mountain Monarch Seal instantly grew larger, and like it could cover the sky and cover the sun, it fell towards the valley.
In the midst of the earth-shaking mountain shaking sound, the gigantic White Tiger Guardian Beast was smashed down to the ground by the Mountain Monarch Seal.
However, the Mountain Monarch Seal did not suppress the guardian beast. The gigantic beast rolled a few times on the ground, and witaise of its head, it overturned the Mountain Monarch Seal that was pressing down on it.
At this time, Tang Ruoqing’s pair of golden cymbals flew up and down, continuously cutting into the body of the Guardian Beast.
However, the Guardian Beast itself was formed from the Metal Element Source Spirit, it was not its flesh and blood body in the first place. Although Tang Ruoqing’s Golden Hair Slash could make the Guardian Beast roar again and again, it could not directly affect its battle power.
But strictly speaking, Tang Ruoqing’s method was not without any effect on the guardian beast. After all, every cut could take away a strand of the Guardian Beast’s metal element.
Yang Junshan roughly understood Tang Ruoqing’s method, thus the two abilities of the Heaven Shattering Earth Seal and the two-way magnetic and magical light could be seen. Through the Mountain Monarch Seal, they were directly suppressed on its body, restricting the Guardian’s movements, and prevented from defending effectively against Tang Ruoqing’s attacks.
Layers of metal-attribute origin energy were separated from each other. In order to maintain the integrity of the guardian beast’s body, its gigantic body was gradually shrinking, and its explosive strength was also starting to weaken.
If this continued, the two of them would be able to completely suppress the Guardian Beast that only had the strength of a Golden Immortal. Suddenly, a dense platinum-colored baleful qi surged in from outside the valley, and three Mysterious Tiger Spirits scuttled in after each other, charging towards Yang Junshan who was above the valley at the same time.
Even though Yang Junshan wayrannical Golden Immortal, against three Primordial Immortal s, he would not die or be destroyed. At any moment, he would be able to unleash the battle techniques of both sides and kill the other tiger spirits together, but he did not dare to be careless. Furthermore, the three tiger spirits were able to channel the metal element baleful qi in the surrounding areas, and the denser the auras, the stronger the growth rate for the three tiger spirits was.
What was unfortunate was that the source of the Golden Fiend within the valley was getting denser and denser, especially since the Guardian Beast, the Giant White Tiger, was currently being weakened by Tang Ruoqing.
In desperation, Yang Junshan had no choice but to give up suppressing the guardian beast, and instead used his own strength to stop the attack of the three tiger spirits.
Without Yang Junshan’s control, the guardian beasts in the valley were like tigers adding wings. As soon as they opened their mouths, they spewed out a wave of source energy, causing the two cymbals that were dancing around them to almost lose control.
Without waiting for Tang Ruoqing to react, the Guardian Beast leapt forward and brandished its two front claws. In an instant, it pressed down one of the golden birds from the air.
Tang Ruoqing roared in anger, the other golden bird suddenly regained control in mid air, taking advantage of the situation to descend downwards, and actually cut open half of the Guardian Beast’s stomach.
However, the huge tiger beast spirit didn’t care. It only held its claws down on the other golden cymbals, biting and chewing on them.
Although Tang Ruoqing’s Golden Anchor was not bitten through, the Guardian Spirit that was formed from the Platinum Baleful Qi was enough to injure his own life treasure.
Tang Ruoqing pushed the other golden bird towards the beast spirit, causing its huge body to be pushed to the ground once again. The other golden bird that was originally pressed down on the ground immediately escaped.
Tang Ruoqing accidentally took a small loss. Right at this moment of her anger, witair of treasures in hand, she prepared to retaliate and vent it all out.
It was at this moment that Zhong Kui’s voice suddenly came from behind the beast spirit, “Fellow Daoist Tang, I, Zhong Kui, have come to lend yoand!”
Before he could finish speaking, the beast that was initially pushed down by Tang Ruoqing suddenly jumped, as though it was about to open its mouth to shout in pain, but unexpectedly, a sword flew out from its mouth and the beast immediately dropped from the sky.
Just as it was about to land on the ground, the huge body of the beast spirit suddenly dispersed intlatinum origin fiend. It swept up a mist and spread to the entire valley.
Tang Ruoqing suddenly thought of something. She saw Zhong Kui’s long sword, which had pierced the beast spirit just now, drawing a circular arc in the middle of the beast spirit’s scattered heart, ripping apart the surrounding space.
And in the middle of the arc created by the dancing longsword was the pure metal-elemental baleful qi from the source of the beast spirit.
Tang Ruoqing immediately came to her senses, knowing that she was secretly tricked by Zhong Kui. She laughed coldly, “Fellow Daoist Zhong, on the other hand, you actually managed to obtain a trace of metal-type Qi from me. Furthermore, it’s a Spirit Beast Qi that’s comparable to a Golden Immortal’s, I’m afraid that this was already well calculated by Fellow Daoist Zhong?”
Zhong Kui said with a stern expression, “Why does Fellow Daoist Tang say that?” In any case, this aurous baleful aura is useless to fellow daoists, so wouldn’t it bity to waste it? ”
“You —” Tang Ruoqing’s face ashened.
“Eh, this is, the True South Sword is about to be promoted?”
Just then, Yang Junshan’s surprised voice came out, and said: “But I remember that Mr. Zhong’s sword is already an immortal weapon, it shouldn’t be a middle grade immortal weapon, right?”
