Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

94. Encountering the Cauldron and Furnace

There was no explosive explosion, no burst of energy, and no surging airflow.

The black and white energies, with their extremely flexible nature, withstood the fierce power of the Crouching Dragon, then contained it and continuously circulated it, dissipating its energy.

call!

In the blink of an eye, the black and white energies almost completely neutralized the fierce force, and the remaining force simply turned into a gust of wind and scattered away.

"drink!"

Wolongxing had already flashed forward and launched a fierce attack.

Teng Xie reached out and pointed the jade ruyi at Wolong Xing's palm. He then guided and twisted the force of the attack, neutralizing its powerful impact. With a flick of his wrist, the jade ruyi had already hooked Wolong Xing's forearm.

With a twist and a pull of his arm, Wolongxing flew out horizontally.

However, after flying only ten feet, Wolongxing had already stabilized his body and then unleashed another powerful attack!

"Raging Sky Lock!"

"It's wonderful, but it doesn't quite suit my style."

Tengxie's move is imbued with the essence of Taiji Xuan. This is because he has recently gained a lot of insights into Taiji Xuan and suddenly felt interested, so he tried it out, and the effect was indeed quite good.

But he didn't really like this method of using minimal force to overcome great strength, borrowing strength to strike back... He was physically strong and had a solid foundation. He had the strength of two thousand jin, ten thousand jin, or even more, but he only used four jin. He felt very uncomfortable about it.

Tengxie studies the mysteries of Taiji and the fusion of Yin and Yang, solely because this can enhance his strength.

He still wanted to be a combination of the Emei Sect and the Yama Drought Demon. He didn't want to play the game of using softness to overcome hardness; he just wanted to blast an area within a hundred miles with a single palm strike.

Let's just go for it then.

"Raging waves of evil!"

Teng Xie cannot easily blast through a hundred miles with a single palm strike, but at this moment, his own foundation is already comparable to that of Kuang Long Yi Sheng Xiao. With the Black Mist Demon Dragon's blessing, he can now steadily suppress Wo Long Xing.

boom!

Their ultimate moves clashed, unleashing a burst of violent energy that shook the earth for miles around. Teng Xie and Wo Long Xing were both sent flying backward!

"snort!"

Teng Xie forcefully urged his internal energy, feeling a tightness in his chest and a throbbing pain in his meridians, but he managed to stabilize himself first and then charged towards Wolongxing!

In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to Wolongxing's side, and with the help of the Key of Creation, his inner energy was evened out, and he immediately launched a series of attacks!

Boom boom boom...!

Tengxie unleashed a barrage of blows, delivering a satisfying beating and successfully reducing Wolongxing's energy to below 40%.

Without giving Wolongxing a chance to retreat, he suddenly launched a powerful attack, breaking through Wolongxing's defenses in one fell swoop. He reached out and pointed at Wolongxing's chest, sealing his internal energy.

"call……"

Tengxie slowly exhaled a breath of white air, his heart filled with exhilarating joy. If he were to fight Kuanglong again now, Kuanglong would have no chance.

Speaking of which, that old cunning fellow is really patient... Teng Xie's current sixth sense allows him to keenly detect, even when he is highly focused on fighting, that old cunning fellow Gui Liang is spying on them from a hidden place more than ten miles away, probably with ulterior motives.

Gui Liang Tianxia was naturally planning to ambush Teng Xielang from behind. Although he had just broken the Seven-Day Restriction and his body was slightly damaged, he had three divine artifacts in hand and felt that this was definitely a good opportunity to sneak attack Teng Xielang.

However, Teng Xie's ease in dealing with Wo Longxing made Gui Liang Tianxia give up the idea.

Gui Liangtian felt confident that he could do it too, and even better than Teng Xie, but he also had to admit that Teng Xie was a master of the same level as him.

He wasn't confident he could kill with a single blow; if his opponent fought to the death, he would inevitably pay a heavy price.

With a family fortune of thousands, one should not sit under a dangerous roof. It is better to first obtain the protection from the unknown, then eliminate the threat of the Buddhist certificate, and finally plot against the demon realm.

Gui Liangtianxia made up his mind and left quietly.

Teng Xie secretly contacted Su Huanzhen, and the two met again at their old spot.

"My sir, the trip to Thousand Sorrows Stream must have troubled you, but I had my reasons for going. I hope... this gift will cheer you up."

Teng Xie preemptively handed the Wolong Xing to Su Huanzhen, leaving Su Huanzhen speechless.

"Then thank you very much, Commander... May I ask the reason for this?"

"Gui Liang Tianxia told me some important information about the fault line."

As expected… Su Huanzhen’s heart stirred. Just as he was about to ask again, he heard Teng Xie continue, “Sage Su, I will still handle this news properly, but it will take some time to make arrangements. Perhaps you can give me a little more trust.”

"this……"

Su Huanzhen sighed inwardly. As expected, the other party didn't want to say more. "Alright, but about Gui Liang Tianxia..."

"Sage Su, Gui Liang Tianxia is even more dangerous than Bei Chen Yuanhuang. The key issue lies in just how terrifying the Five Devastating Moves combined with the Heaven-Shaking Power truly are... I don't know about others, but I certainly wouldn't dare to test them lightly."

"Um……"

Su Huanzhen nodded. "It seems the key lies in the Unbreakable Protection. It is essential to resist the Five Deadly Techniques. If Gui Liang Tianxia obtains it, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Perhaps we can awaken Wolongxing and see if he knows the weakness of the divine artifact. Or, Master Su, I heard that after Beichen Yuanhuang obtained the Sharp Senses Tassel, he suddenly and inexplicably sent people to inquire about the Buddhist Zen Seal technique. You are learned and knowledgeable; have you heard of it?"

"...I have never heard of this before. After I have settled Senior Wolongxing, I will go and inquire with Bodhisattva Jingliuli."

After exchanging a few more words, Su Huanzhen left, looking preoccupied.

Tengxie then went to the Dinglu branch peak.

"Mr. Qiqiao, what are you trying to make?"

"What's it to you? Tan Wuyu, why won't you give up? I've made myself perfectly clear, I will never destroy the Haotian Cauldron!"

When Teng Xie arrived, he saw that Qi Qiao Shen Tuo was about to use Hao Tian Ding, but was interrupted by Tan Wuyu and Chi Yun Ran who suddenly arrived.

"Oh, Fairy Tan, Daoist Chi Yunran, it's been a long time."

When Teng Xie appeared with Tun Fo Tong Zi, Tan Wu Yu and Chi Yun Ran immediately raised their guard to the highest level.

"It's the Demon Realm's War General. Why has the War General come here?"

Tan Wuyu asked in a deep voice, while Teng Xie replied calmly, "I'm here to see this young man."

Beside Tengxie Yizhi Qiqiao Divine Camel stood a young man with a long braid, exuding both heroic spirit and gentle demeanor.

"I?"

The young man was clearly taken aback. He was just a newcomer to the martial arts world. What did this Demon Realm War General want with him?

Teng Xie turned to the young man, smiled slightly, and said, "Young brother, are you perhaps Zi Gong Taiyi, the prized disciple of Kunlun?"

"Uh, that's right. May I ask how you knew me?"

"I've looked into Hao Kunlun, of course. I don't mean anything by it; I've just recently taken a liking to Tai Chi and wanted to discuss it with you."

Is that so?

Zi Gong Taiyi looked completely bewildered, while Tan Wuyu quickly calculated, trying to guess what Teng Xie was thinking.

"I am deeply honored by your appreciation, but..."

Zi Gong Taiyi glanced at Qi Qiao Shen Tuo and the others. He had traveled the world and had met Qi Qiao Shen Tuo by chance. Although the old man had a bad temper, Zi Gong Taiyi was very fond of him, and the two were getting along well now.

Zi Gong Taiyi was also very curious as to why Tan Wuyu had come and why he wanted the Seven Wonders Divine Camel to destroy the Haotian Cauldron.

"Brother Taiyi, our meeting is fate. There's no time like the present, let's have a good chat. Oh, and also, Fairy Tan is very learned and has quite a connection with Hao Kunlun, and Daoist Chiyunran is a highly accomplished master of the Xuanzong sect. Why don't you also have a good talk about that?"

As Teng Xie spoke, he casually put his arm around Zi Gong Tai Yi's shoulder and led him to Tan Wu Yu and Chi Yun Ran. With another wave of his hand, Tun Fo Tong Zi flashed to another mountain peak not far away, where he prepared a stone table and benches, and laid out fine wine and fruits.
