Chapter 1520 Shifting the Blame East
"Fellow Daoist Si Hanfei, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I haven't had a proper exchange with you yet!"
Duobao Daoren's voice carried a hint of teasing.
Si Hanfei turned around abruptly and saw Duobao Daoist holding the Zhuxian Sword, like an immortal riding the wind, rapidly chasing after him. The scarlet sword light on the Zhuxian Sword in his hand was becoming increasingly intense, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard, making the hair on his body stand on end.
"Daoist Duobao, don't be so ruthless! I am a general of the Mongol camp, and the Mongols will not let you go!"
Si Hanfei roared fiercely, his face contorted with fear, as he held the steel spear horizontally in front of him, his black internal energy surging wildly into the spear in an attempt to block Duobao Daoren's pursuit.
Daoist Duobao grinned, flicked the whisk in his other hand, and the broken whisk strands shot out like steel needles. At the same time, he swung the Zhuxian Sword fiercely, and a scarlet sword aura slashed towards Si Hanfei from several feet away.
"Typhon? He can barely protect himself, how could he care about you? Besides, I am acting on behalf of Heaven to kill you, a villain who aids and abets evil. This is in accordance with the will of Heaven, so what is there to fear?"
The sword energy, though several feet apart, precisely slashed towards Si Hanfei's path.
Si Hanfei was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. The sword energy grazed his shoulder and shattered the horse track railing behind him, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as his armor was slashed by the sword energy, leaving a deep wound from which black blood gushed out. The Zhuxian Sword Energy of Daoist Duobao was not only incredibly sharp but also contained Buddhist golden light, which naturally restrained his black internal energy.
"You evil Taoist priest, stop your arrogance!"
Si Hanfei roared and turned around abruptly, thrusting the steel spear in his hand, which was filled with dense black energy, toward Daoist Duobao.
This spear thrust was imbued with all of his inner strength, and the black energy at the spearhead even coalesced into a small, ferocious beast phantom, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
Seeing this, Duobao Daoist's eyes flashed with disdain. He gently turned the Zhuxian Sword in his hand, and the scarlet sword shadow instantly transformed into countless streaks, like a sky full of stars, enveloping Si Hanfei's fine steel spear.
"Buddhism and Taoism share the same origin, and both embody strength and gentleness. How dare you, with your mere black energy, try to teach me a lesson before an expert?"
The sword shadows clashed with the spear tips, producing a dense clang of metal against metal.
Si Hanfei felt a surge of immense power flowing through the spear. The black beast phantom was instantly torn apart by the sword shadow. At the same time, his arm went numb and tingly, and the steel spear in his hand almost flew out of his grasp.
This shocked him greatly. Daoist Duobao was so powerful. He had seemed somewhat helpless in front of Typhon just now, but now he was dealing with him so easily.
While Duobao Daoist might be struggling against Typhon, who possessed the ultimate Qi, he was naturally in complete control against Si Hanfei, a cultivator in the late stage of the Celestial Realm. He even crushed him with the combat power boost brought by his dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism!
"Si Hanfei, I'll give you one more chance. Surrender and I might spare your life!"
At this moment, Daoist Duobao had no time to pay attention to Si Hanfei's shock. Instead, he took the opportunity to get closer, his left hand forming a Buddhist mudra. A golden Buddhist palm instantly condensed, which was the second move of the "Buddha's Palm" - "Golden Top Buddha Lamp".
"Surrender? Dream on!"
A glint of madness flashed in Si Hanfei's eyes. His hands were stained with the blood of the people of the Central Plains. Even if he surrendered, he would not have a good end.
"Stubborn to the end!"
Daoist Duobao shook his head, but no longer held back.
The golden lamp suddenly fell, its golden light instantly enveloping Si Hanfei. His black inner energy melted away like ice and snow before the golden light, utterly powerless. Si Hanfei let out a shrill scream. His body was enveloped in the golden light, his black inner energy dissipating continuously, and waves of burning pain coursed through his body. He frantically swung his steel spear, trying to break through the golden light's blockade, but to no avail.
At the same time, Daoist Duobao swung the Zhuxian Sword in his hand again, and a scarlet sword aura pierced straight into Si Hanfei's dantian, trying to destroy his internal energy.
Just then, a ruthless glint flashed in Si Hanfei's eyes. He suddenly hurled the steel spear in his hand at Duobao Daoist, and at the same time, using the recoil, he lunged towards the Mongol soldiers on the city wall.
Daoist Duobao raised an eyebrow, and with a gentle spin of the Zhuxian Sword in front of him, the scarlet sword energy flowed upwards like water, and with a clang, it knocked the iron spear away.
But in that brief delay, Si Hanfei had already rushed to the breach in the city wall. He staggered and crashed into a broken brick, using the rebound force to roar loudly.
"Hydra! Cerberus! Stop him for me!"
At this moment, Hydra was being driven to a state of utter disarray by the scorching heat of the Red Cloud Ancestor. The poisonous mist on the Hydra Halberd was sizzling as it was burned by the flames, and the bluish-black scales on his armor were charred black. Upon hearing Si Hanfei's shout, his fierce eyes instantly turned towards Duobao Daoren.
Cerberus was even more enraged. The heavy iron hammer in his hand was already smashing towards the head of the Red Cloud Ancestor, but at this moment he suddenly changed direction and swept it towards Duobao Daoist with a thousand pounds of force. The hammer wind swept up the rubble and blood on the ground, like a small storm.
Daoist Duobao shook his head helplessly. This Si Hanfei had certainly played his cards right, trying to save his life by using someone else.
But he didn't stop moving. He stepped with Taoist footwork, dodging the sweeping hammer as if he were strolling in a garden. With a flick of his whisk, the broken whisk strands turned into several golden rays, which pierced the three heads of the three-headed dog phantom behind Cerberus. At the same time, he laughed.
"I originally intended to capture this fleeing man, but since you two insist on stopping him, how about you take his place?"
Seeing this, the old ancestor Hongyun's red robe fluttered, and a knowing smile flashed in his eyes.
The summer flames in his palm suddenly receded, replaced by a desolate and murderous aura. The chilling inner force of Autumn Frost spread through the air like an invisible blade, aiming directly at Hydra's vital points.
"Summer goes and autumn comes, all things have an end, and it is time for you alien races to return to your roots."
The voice of the Old Ancestor Hongyun carried a hint of transcendence, which both shocked and angered Hydra. He had to resist the erosion of the Old Ancestor Hongyun's autumnal inner force while also guarding against the scarlet sword energy that Daoist Duobao occasionally swept at him. He was immediately overwhelmed by the situation.
The poisonous mist on his body became sluggish and unbearable under the chilling aura of autumn frost. The venom, which could easily corrode metal, condensed into tiny ice crystals that slid down the gaps in his scales.
Meanwhile, Cerberus was completely unaware of the danger. The three heads of the three-headed dog phantom behind him simultaneously spewed out faint black mist, and the black iron hammer in his hand swung more and more violently. Each time the hammer smashed into the city bricks, it left a bottomless crater.
He charged towards Daoist Duobao, his twin hammers striking down alternately like shooting stars, attempting to crush the seemingly frail Daoist into a pulp with brute force.
Duobao Daoist's eyes narrowed, and the scarlet sword light on the Zhuxian Sword instantly surged. He stopped dodging and instead charged forward to meet the heavy hammer. A golden Buddha's palm condensed behind his palm, its light soft yet like the midday sun, instantly dispelling the black mist spewed out by Cerberus.
The moment the Buddha's palm collided with the heavy hammer, golden light spread out like a tide. Cerberus felt an overwhelming force coming from the hammer, and all three heads let out painful roars at the same time.
His brute strength, which he was so proud of, was like paper in front of the Buddha's light. The ferocious beast patterns on the Xuan Iron Heavy Hammer instantly dimmed, and fine cracks even appeared on the hammer body.
