Chapter Thirty-Three: White Rainbow Sword
Zhang Tongyuan turned his back to the two, but his voice was directed at them. Ximen Shuai and Lin Fan exchanged a glance, and Ximen Shuai, not wanting to stir up trouble, said, "We're just passing by."
"It can't be passed. The gate is holding a grand ceremony for the handover of the sect leader, and no one is allowed to enter without permission." Zhang Tongyuan wiped his hands on his Taoist robe and said, "Let's take a detour."
Lin Fan was annoyed: "The main road leads to heaven, and each walks on one side. This distance from the Zi Xiao Temple is still hundreds of miles away, how can't we walk?"
"Because I said so." Zhang Tongyuan combed his hair with water and slowly rose into the air, blocking the path of the two.
Lin Fan was unhappy, while Xi Men Shuai remained arrogant and disdainful of the so-called Eight Great Masters. Looking at Zhang Tongyuan's deliberate provocation, he coldly snorted: "Then Xi Men Shuai can only open his own path."
He said to fight, so he fought. Ximen's Dry Heaven Circle spun and flew out to strike. Zhang Tongyuan's face had a joyful expression: "You've come at the right time." His right hand pointed with his index finger, and a white rainbow shot out from behind his back and collided with the Dry Heaven Circle. Lin Fan looked around, this guy actually had his sword naked on his back, and in this move, even his Taoist robe was torn apart.
Ximen Shuai didn't hold back either, using his divine power to make the????'s energy surge greatly. The speed of its rotation was incredibly fast, and Zhang Tongyuan's White Rainbow Sword was repeatedly knocked away. Zhang Tongyuan immediately wiped the smile off his face, grasped the sword hilt, and the White Rainbow Sword returned to his side, pointing at Ximen Shuai. Zhang Tongyuan shouted: "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"
The White Rainbow Sword transformed once into two, twice into four, and in an instant turned into sixty-four mouths, spreading out to cover the sky and earth, killing generals as they went, with the sound of golden thunder, extremely fierce.
Ximen Shuai was shocked, this wasn't a bamboo sword, but the imperial sword, one that could rival his own??? circle. Without another word, he immediately stepped on the??? circle and left. Zhang Tongyuan wouldn't let him off easily, chasing after him while pressing the sword key, sixty-four precious swords formed a circular rotation, creating a sword dragon that suddenly attacked.
Ximen Shuai lured the enemy to enter deeply, suddenly turned around, secretly recited a spell, and with a loud noise, a white smoke enveloped him as the center.
"Hmm, Smoke Escape Technique! Zhang Tongyuan activated his divine sense and the sword cut through the smoke that was hiding Ximen Shuai's arm. Ximen Shuai's true body exploded and turned into a portrait. Zhang Tongyuan shouted 'Not good!' This is the Demon Sect's Substitute Body Great Method, using one's own portrait to transform into their true body to lure in the enemy. The white smoke wasn't for hiding himself, but rather to cover up his substitute."
A white dragon burst out of the white smoke, and Ximen Shuai hugged his body with an ancient sword, quickly slashing towards Zhang Tongyuan's true body. Zhang Tongyuan was cut off just right, and all that could be heard was a sound of gold and iron. Zhang Tongyuan transformed into a White Rainbow Sword to block this move. With the help of the spiritual connection between him and his sword, Zhang Tongyuan and the White Rainbow Sword exchanged positions in an instant.
A long whistle sounded, Zhang Tongyuan rushed out of the white smoke and stepped on the White Rainbow Sword that welcomed him: "You can go now."
"What are you, daring to speak to me like that?" Ximen Shuai was enraged by the provocation, and with a flick of his wrist, a ten-zhang-tall warrior appeared in front of him, holding an axe that could split the sky. The warrior grasped the axe with both hands and swung it down towards Zhang Tongyuan with a loud "Hah!"
"Cut, the demonic sect can't afford to joke around." Zhang Tongyuan's mouth was relaxed, but his heart was also somewhat tense. His fingers brushed against the White Rainbow Sword, and it transformed into a three-zhang giant sword that barely blocked the axe. After one strike, the martial general disappeared, and Zhang Tongyuan flew backward in a half-circle, cautiously on guard.
Ximen said: "Get back to Zixiao Hall and learn a few more tricks from your master's wife before you come back here to make a fool of yourself."
Zhang Tongyuan shouted loudly: "Master's wife, your grandson is here, should I hit him or not?"
Lin Fan could see that the two of them were both wary of each other, but they were both stubborn. Zhang Tongyuan secretly lamented that he hadn't had a fight in many days and was eager to meet someone who could exchange blows with him, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. If Zixiao Temple found out about his overbearing behavior, he would have to go do hard labor again.
Ximen thought, Lin Fan was clearly just watching the excitement, and as a proper disciple of the Orthodox School, he wouldn't be the first to make a move. Should they continue fighting or not? If they fought, there was no chance of winning, but if they didn't, Ximen would look bad in front of this guy.
As they thought, both of them looked at Lin Fan. Lin Fan was a straightforward person and could say a few words to break the scene, then everyone would go their separate ways, each returning home to find their own mother. In comparison, Ximen Shuai's gaze was more subtle, while Zhang Tongyuan looked straight at Lin Fan, nodding his head to signal him to speak up.
Lin coughed and looked around, pointing at Zhang Tongyuan: "You lost."
Ximen Shuai shouted in a hurry, this guy is not watching the fire from the other side of the river, but adding fuel to the fire. Zhang Tongyuan was furious: "I lost? Impossible. Mantou, watch out."
"Mantou?" Ximen Shuai and Lin Fan asked in unison.
"White dumpling, watch out." Zhang Tongyuan corrected his improper wording and then charged over.
Ximen Shuai is indeed quite pale... but what does that have to do with mantou? Regardless of the outcome, the two of them are at it again. Is Lin Fan very bored? Of course not, as the saying goes, "youthful nature, heart higher than the sky". This Zhang Tongyun is ranked third among the eight great masters, and he must take a good look at his skills. As for Ximen Shuai, there's nothing to say about him, but either he can go try out Zhang Tongyun's skills while Ximen Shuai watches from the side with ease, or Ximen Shuai goes to try out Zhang Tongyun's skills while he watches from the side with ease.
Do you need to choose? Let's keep looking, is there a bench? Come on!
Zhang Tongyuan relied on the White Rainbow Sword and Human Sword combined to achieve a state that could only be reached in the Yuan Ying period, while Ximen Shuai was very perceptive and, apart from the Qian Kun Circle and Gu Jian, he used various ordinary Dao methods extremely skillfully, borrowing the characteristics of each Dao method to fight against Zhang Tongyuan.
Zhang Tongyuan became more and more despicable as he fought, and when they were evenly matched, he used his saliva to spit at Sima Yi. Sima Yi was getting more and more humiliated, and with his left hand, he operated the Thunderbolt Shocking Light Technique, Zhang Tongyuan was on high alert at all times, but Sima Yi just wouldn't attack. Waiting for Zhang Tongyuan to let his guard down for a moment, the Thunderbolt Shocking Light Technique was released.
Zhang Tongyuan was dissatisfied with the despicable method, this is called tactics. Ximen Shuai is a man who values cleanliness, spitting out a mouthful of phlegm is more powerful than flying a sword at him. Lin Fan learned from this, and it's indeed an effective way to deal with Ximen Shuai. To avoid the true energy wrapped in the phlegm attack, Ximen Shuai dodged left and right, extremely passively.
Lin Fan was learning Zhang Tongyuan's technique of transporting air in his mouth, and he spat out a wad of phlegm. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tongyuan happened to be wielding his sword from the side, attacking him, and the phlegm landed squarely on Zhang Tongyuan's left cheek. The true energy and thick phlegm were blocked by Zhang Tongyuan's protective true energy, but that feeling...
Zhang Tongyuan was furious and took action against Lin Fan, who was watching the excitement...
"Ding!" Lin Fan stretched out a finger and attacked his own White Rainbow Sword clone, freezing it in mid-air.
"Thunder!" Lin Fan lowered his head, and a thunderbolt flew out, followed by a second one, a third one, and uninterrupted thunderbolts shot out from the palm of Lin Fan's left hand.
"What kind of move is this?" Zhang Tongyuan was stunned, and even Ximen Shuai stopped in his tracks. Zhang Tongyuan pinched the sword technique, urging the White Rainbow Sword to split its body and continue attacking.
