Chapter 471: The Siege of the Qiao Family Demon
Boom, boom, boom.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and thunder roared. A lightning bolt split the sky and illuminated the mountain gate of the Qingxuan Road Immortal Gate. Above the mountain gate, a towering fairy peak floated, topped with a magnificent palace, while the leader of the Qingxuan Road sect stood above, looking serious.
The old man’s expression was grave, and his eyes shone like lightning as he stared at a dark shadow in the distance.
It was a giant over a hundred meters tall, with muscles as hard as steel, and skin that gleamed like gold and iron, while true strength surged around it like a mighty tide.
A violent sound shook the heavens and the earth, and towers crumbled, falling from the sky.
This was a great calamity for the cultivators; the ancient Immortal Gate was broken by a mortal martial artist and destroyed in an instant.
The leader of the Qingxuan Road sect looked pale and felt as if his heart were cold as ash.
The Supreme Elder has his own considerations; it is not a knife in his hand.
A lasting Immortal Gate on Qingxuan Road is certainly worth saving by the Supreme Elder.
However, if the cost of taking action is a fall in their realm or even death, then even the ancient Supreme Elder must think carefully.
With opportunities to attain immortality approaching, Patriarch Qingmu does not want any complications and wishes to stay out of it.
In response, the leader of Qingxuan Road Sect feels helpless…
The Supreme Elder can hide, but he cannot.
As a Soul Changing cultivator of the human world, after the destruction of the temple and the breach of the Immortal Gate, even if he escapes this battle, he will inevitably lose his realm soon after.
When he falls from being a Soul Changing cultivator, he definitely cannot survive.
It’s just that while he is filled with fighting spirit, he really does not have the will to fight for his life against this member of the Qiao family right now…
The leader of Qingxuan Road Sect stands indecisively, just gazing from afar.
As the giant transformed from the Qiao family passed by, the mountains crumbled, the ground shook, trees fell down, and buildings toppled over.
"Eight Armed Heavenly Dragon Fist!"
His iron fist smashed through the tower, shattered the floating fairy peaks, and turned countless cultivators into mush.
The Eight Armed Heavenly Dragon Fist was originally a quick-fighting technique, with fists moving as fast as shooting stars, but it had lost some power due to not building up strength.
However, Qiao Mu’s clone, using the forbidden Taotie Martial Art technique Blood Meat Oven to break the limits of his physical body, now had a physique like a small mountain, and each punch packed the force to shatter mountains and split rocks.
At this moment, as the Eight Armed Heavenly Dragon Fist was unleashed, the giant seemed to transform into a deity with eight arms; as his iron fists swung, they truly resembled shooting stars piercing the sky, causing mountains to crumble and buildings to collapse wherever they went.
The cultivators joined forces, each calling forth their treasures and casting spells to try to stop the Qiao family member’s attack. But their efforts seemed like a cow sinking into the ocean, ultimately unable to stop him even a step.
The leader of the Qingxuan Road sect’s expression grew increasingly grim.
"This is too much!"
"How could the Immortal Gate, which has existed for thousands of years, be destroyed by an ordinary martial artist in a single day?"
He transformed into a shining rainbow and soared into the sky, rushing straight towards Qiao Mu’s flesh clone, his figure carrying a sense of tragic heroism.
At the moment when the fairy peak collapsed and countless towers fell, the appearance of the sect leader was like a sudden flash of lightning, brightening the hearts of the cultivators.
Not only that.
A flash of light appeared in the sky, and the first figure in a gray robe of the Qingxuan Roadsect leader emerged; this was his Soul Changing dharma body, equally powerful.
Suddenly, between the mountains and above the clouds, a faint chanting of prayers began to rise; it was the voice of the beings from the mortal world, all reciting a single name together.
"Protect us, Qingxuan Taoist Lord."
"Qingxuan Taoist Lord above us…."
Amidst the countless overlapping voices, a looming divine figure, as tall as a mountain peak, gradually appeared among the clouds, looking just like the Qingxuan Roadsect leader, but with an even more dignified presence.
Compared to the cultivators in the Immortal Gate, they resemble the statues worshipped in temples, showing an expression of great compassion.
Qingxuan Road is the deepest path of incense offerings in the Immortal Gate. They have long surpassed the simple crafting of the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire and can gather an incense spirit body through the wishes of the people.
This incense spirit body is like the second dharma body of the sect leader of Qingxuan Road. As long as the faith remains strong, it will not truly die and will eventually revive with the belief of the people in Bei Province.
A dharma body is not like a paper man or other small avatars; it cannot easily create hundreds or thousands of paper men.
A powerful dharma body that approaches the strength of the true form can only exist as one; even a Soul Changing Taoist Lord cannot focus on creating more.
The incense spirit body of Qingxuan Road essentially acts as a second dharma body, providing a significant advantage compared to other Immortal Gate cultivators of Nascent Soul or Soul Changing.
Among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, Qingxuan Road and Great Dao Sect are the strongest, and this is not just mere rumor.
At this moment, Qingxuan Taoist Lord’s true form, dharma body, and incense spirit body all launched their powers at once, and flashes of lightning fell from the sky, piercing through the air and overwhelming the hundred-meter giant.
But suddenly,
Huh!
A large, charred hand emerged from the bright sea of lightning, tightly gripping the leader of the Qingxuan Roadsect in the air.
"Finally, there’s some real action." The giant bathing in thunder light stepped out from the endless brightness, his towering form too grand to look at directly.
"I’ll give you a chance—try to kill me."
The giant hand gripping the Qingxuan Roadsect leader suddenly tightened, muscles bulging like a rising grave, unleashing true strength like wild ocean waves.
The dharma body of the Qingxuan Roadsect leader in his hand began to shatter inch by inch, gradually fading and twisting away, disappearing.
"Or I will kill you!"
The true body of the Qingxuan Roadsect leader shuddered slightly, but he still maintained a solemn expression.
He fixed his gaze firmly on the arm of Qiao Mu’s flesh clone reaching out from the sea of lightning.
The arm was charred and blackened by the lightning, even giving off a faint smell of meat.
But with each breath of the giant, the already burnt or blackened flesh was squeezed out, and new, tender flesh formed at the wound. The new skin was like a layer of strong, fresh armor, becoming even more solid.
The attack from the Soul Changing Stage Taoist Lord could not be ignored, even by Qiao Mu.
However, with over ten thousand years of accumulated energy, and the ability to heal quickly using the Shape Changing Skill, it was indeed very difficult to kill him.
The leader of the Qingxuan Road sect decisively shouted:
"Human strength has its limits; no matter how strong this mortal monster is, he will eventually run out of power."
"Disciples, unite your strength! Together, with all the power of the Immortal Gate, let us work together to defeat this mortal monster!"
With the leader’s command, his thoughts resonated with the many cultivators, lifting their spirits.
Since the sect leader was still present and displayed such power, they naturally had a strong backbone.
"We, the cultivators, fight against heaven, fight against earth, and fight against ourselves. We let go of attachments and desires, and only through this journey of cultivation have we come this far. How can we fail now at the last moment?!"
"The great Immortal Gate, how can it come to an end here?"
A Nascent Soul Elder stepped forward, his face serious.
Behind them, a faint sound of chanting began to rise, the prayers of beings from the human world.
"Qingyun Zhenren…"
"Qingsong Zhenjun…"
"….."
Not every Nascent Soul cultivator has enough wealth to cultivate a dharma body, but every Nascent Soul cultivator of Qingxuan Road possesses a divine body formed from the gathered power of their wishes.
At this moment, the divine bodies shone brightly, rising to the heavens alongside the rainbow light formed by the true forms of the Nascent Soul cultivators, each demonstrating their abilities.
Whether using magical treasures or casting spells, in an instant, the lightning was overwhelming like a sea.
Qingxuan Road is the first Immortal Gate to create the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire, and it has the most Nascent Soul cultivators inside.
At this moment, under the command of the sect leader, these Nascent Soul cultivators acted together, united against the enemy.
The leader of Qingxuan Road also had a dark expression as he continued to direct his cultivators to surround the giant.
He was someone who had experienced the battle in Nan Province.
That time, although they seemed to have the combined strength of five Immortal Gates, each had their own hidden agenda and could not work together.
However, this time was different.
The number of great cultivators from the Immortal Gate of Qingxuan Road alone could not compare to the five Immortal Gates.
But that time, it was an Immortal Gate attacking Nan Province; this time, the Qingxuan Road sect was being attacked by a member of the Qiao family, and they were all from the same sect, with no way to retreat!
The five great Immortal Gates are not working together; they are fleeing in different directions against the wind, especially the leader of the Long Life Gate sect who disguised himself in advance with a dharma body…
But this time is different.
Qingxuan Road is teaming up; perhaps they can achieve a tactic that even the five great Immortal Gates could not accomplish before… to forcefully drag this demon of the Qiao family to death, to wear him out!
………………………..
One day later.
It was already dusk, and a waning sun hung in the high sky, like a giant blood clot congealed in the clouds, with a tragic red glow covering half the sky.
At this moment, there are no longer any floating celestial peaks in the sky; they have completely collapsed in this great battle.
The entire Qingxuan Road fairy mountain has changed completely, almost flattened to the ground.
Ravines like raging mountain floods cover the mountain peak, spreading out in all directions.
The broken stones and rubble continued to fall down the chasms, just like the rushing mountain flood.
In the very center of this chasm, there stood a small peak on what had become a flat, barren land at the mountain’s top.
It was a small peak nearly one hundred meters high, and upon closer inspection, it could be seen as a headless giant standing a hundred meters tall.
The giant’s face was already a blur, its head crushed, and its skin and bones twisted. Blood flowed down its body like streams.
The once lush green forest had been burned to ashes, and the majestic peaks were now just piles of rubble.
Surrounding the giant’s mound, countless broken treasures and the bodies of cultivators lay scattered.
"It’s done, it’s done!"
"This monster is finally dead!"
"This world, this Bei Province, ultimately belongs to my Qingxuan Road. Those who recklessly challenge the Immortal Gate will meet their end!"
The Qingxuan Road cultivators, who survived the disaster, were filled with joy.
Under the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, Qiao Mu, with over fifty thousand years of power, was almost unbeatable in the human world.
Even if all five Great Taoist Lords came together, holding their treasured teachings, they would be completely defeated under his power, instilling a deep sense of despair and hopelessness even in the heart of the Qingxuan Taoist Lord.
Although Qiao Mu, with over ten thousand years of power, was strong, he had not yet reached that level.
Only the leader of the Qingxuan Road sect looked somber at that moment; this battle did not bring him any sense of victory.
In his heart, there was a lingering question that had not been resolved, even after the demise of the Qiao family’s martial artists.
The most terrifying aspect of the Qiao family members was not how powerful they were.
It was that these exceptionally rare martial arts masters seemed to appear like cockroaches in the kitchen; when one was crushed, another group would come.
After stepping on a small cockroach, a giant Guangdong cockroach would appear right behind it.
The cockroach that appeared grew in size at an amazing speed, so much so that even the strong Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates felt a chill and were at a loss.
By the time the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates noticed something was wrong with this Qiao family member and wanted to join forces to eliminate him completely,
Bang, bang, bang.
A giant cockroach man, taller than him and standing two meters high, knocked on his door…
So after successfully defeating the visiting Qiao family monster, the leader of Qingxuan Roadsect kept thinking about this question he had not had time to consider before.
"We have taken down one Qiao family member, so… what comes next?"
Next…
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
A sharp, piercing sound tore through the sky, leaving five clear white streaks under the blood-red sunset.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Five figures fell from the sky like shooting stars, landing beside the massive corpse of the headless giant, causing the ground to crack like spider webs beneath their feet.
The leader of the Qingxuan Road sect’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
He saw Qiao Shuangtu, the one who had once made him flee in fear, crashing down to the ground like a shooting star.
Behind him were four martial artists from the Qiao family, all looking quite similar.
"Qingxuan Taoist Lord, are you well?"
Qiao Mu said softly:
"I didn’t expect that I underestimated the famous Qingxuan Road."
"Even before the Supreme Elder of Qingxuan Road makes a move, you can already defeat a brother of the Qiao family."
"In front of such a profound Immortal Gate, one must not be overly confident."
"Since that is the case, I will no longer keep it hidden."
Qiao Mu stepped forward.
His eyes shone like the setting sun, a longing that the Qingxuan Taoist Lord could not understand.
Behind him, four flesh clones spread out, forming a surrounding shape that seemed to encircle the cultivators of Qingxuan Road.
After learning about the death of the flesh clone.
Feeling relieved, Qiao Mu poked himself to death four times in a row, resetting his number of revivals to zero, and ran wildly through the night.
Compared to the inexplicably excited Qiao Mu.
The cultivators of Qingxuan Road felt their hearts sink, instinctively looking towards the sect leader.
At this moment, even the leader of Qingxuan Road Sect had an extremely serious expression.
His fighting spirit faded, his face turned pale, and the doubt that had been hanging in his heart was finally resolved.
If they could not kill a member of the Qiao family, a strong member of the Qiao family would come to help; if they tried hard to kill a member of the Qiao family, a strong member of the Qiao family would still come to help!
Whether they fight or not, they cannot escape; they can run away from people but not from the temple…
Getting involved with a member of the Qiao family truly leaves them with no way out…
"Now…" Qiao Mu stepped closer to the leader of Qingxuan Road Sect, his lips curling up slightly.
"What hidden skills does Qingxuan Road have? Go ahead and use them!"
"Where is your Supreme Elder? Bring him forward!"
Beneath the mountain of corpses of the headless giant, five members of the Qiao family closed in step by step.
The Taoist Lord Qingxuan looked up at the sky and saw endless red clouds like blood, feeling only a deep chill in his heart.
