Chapter 56: The Cow-Riding Taoist and the Five-Colored Flower Deer

  "Don't run, this is a lazy donkey with too much dung and urine, it's either hungry or tired. If you can't beat it, just say so, why make up so many excuses?" Wang Guang wouldn't let the opponent escape, his feet shone brightly as he chased after him at top speed.

  When this guy caught up, the cow-riding qigong master was still turning his head to watch, seeing Wang Guang holding a stick and smashing it towards his head. Not only was he not terrified, but on the contrary, he let out a sinister laugh. "Get down for me." The cow-riding qigong master spat out a bright red bead.

  Only saw this bead about the size of a longan, surrounded by dozens of strands of white smoke, like a spider web, shrouding King Guang.

  "Ah!" Wang Guang was greatly shocked, never expecting the opponent to use such a method to secretly attack him. Suddenly his heart was on fire, and in his haste he flipped over and rolled off the treasure light, with the chain wrapped around his body, his hands shaking wildly as he threw out three or five One Qi Yin Lei pearls to blast towards the opponent's bead.

  "Your tricks are outdated." The iron hammer of the cow-riding Qi practitioner clashed, and two watermelon-sized iron hammers exploded, sending hundreds of fragments mixed with countless spells piercing towards Wang Guang. At this time, the cow demon also made a fierce turn, shaking its big head, and its horns smashed Wang Guang's Hundred Miles Flowing Light to pieces.

  This bull-riding Qi practitioner wasn't a good guy either. After the iron hammer exploded, only the handle was left. But looking at the handle, it seemed that the top end had a short spearhead like a halberd. The Qi practitioner swung the handle and stabbed downwards towards Wang Guang who was still lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.

  It was slow to say, but from the time he spat out the red beads to the time he picked up two short spears and pierced Wang Guang, it was only a matter of breathing time.

  Three to five thunderclaps blew the red beads flying, falling onto the head of the Qi cultivator and spinning around. There were also chains wrapped around his body, using iron hammer fragments to block the attack. But just as Wang Guang thought it was nothing, he discovered that the opponent had picked up a short spear and stabbed it towards him, and the cow demon sprayed white gas onto its two front legs, lifting them up and trampling towards his chest.

  "What a great move!" By this time, Wang Guang also couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The opponent's counterattack was more ruthless and vicious than any of the practitioners he had encountered.

  Mouthing praise, but secretly cursing the other's shamelessness and ruthlessness. With a single pinch of the law-deciding technique, the crimson copper sand rotated, the chain shattered, and thousands of copper sands transformed into a shield floating in front of him. Two hammer-like objects the size of cow heads transformed into four thick pillars standing beneath the shield.

  The ox demon stepped up and was blocked by the shield, the copper sand rotated, if it wasn't for the ox demon's quick retreat, its pair of powerful hooves would have been ground away by the copper sand. Even so, it still ground away more than half of the horn layer on the ox demon's hooves.

  The cow demon retreated, and the cultivator on top couldn't reach Wang Guang anymore. He didn't regret it, grabbed a handful of dark thunder from his chest and threw it at Wang Guang, then turned the cow demon back to his own formation. However, when passing by Wang Guang's dropped Hundred Miles Flowing Light, he casually put this treasure into his own pocket. It was considered as spoils of war.

  That thunderclap didn't hurt Wang Guang, but it left him covered in dust and dirt, utterly disheveled.

  "Ah! You're courting death!" Scattering the copper sand, he stood up from the ground with a loud shout: "You little cowherd, come out and accept your death quickly, don't make me angry or I'll twist off your head to use as a urinal."

  "Haha! You're a demonic cultivator, your own skills are no good yet you're still so arrogant? I think it's better for you to go back to your sect and cultivate properly for three to five years before coming out to look for me again." The cow-riding Qi Refiner burst into loud laughter, but Wang Guang didn't see a hint of smile in his eyes.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! That must be the great intention of this humble Daoist, to come again this time." Seeing that there were indeed many Qi-practicing soldiers in front of both armies, Wang Guang didn't dare to boast randomly and just nodded his head, putting on a nonchalant appearance as he challenged the opponent.

  "I'm too lazy to reason with you, if you really have skills, then come and find me." The cow-riding Qi practitioner sneered coldly, with a disdainful face, waving the short spear in his hand to taunt Wang Guang.

  These words only made Wang Guang shout loudly, but he didn't dare to really go to the opponent's camp to find that cow-riding, evil Qi-practicing man.

  "But it was a big mistake, these years have been smooth sailing, except for that demon girl, I haven't met any other strong opponents. Even in the hands of that demon girl, I didn't suffer such a defeat. It seems that if I don't take my opponents seriously, forget about condensing the golden elixir and becoming a dan master, even completing the task of the Lidi Dao person is uncertain." After thinking for a moment, this guy finally calmed down.

  It was only then that he noticed the ones fighting on the battlefield were no longer just those two black-robed Qi Practitioners, but seven or eight more Qi Practitioners had appeared in mid-air to join the battle.

  The sky was filled with dark winds and ominous energy. Black smoke billowed, fierce flames shot up into the air; meanwhile, magical treasures shone brightly, clashing with flying sword techniques. The battle between these few cultivators in the sky had pushed the atmosphere at the forefront of the two armies to its highest point.

  Looking at the sky, there are practitioners of Qi Gong fighting, Wang Guang can't help but jump up and shout: "The guardians of the Great Qi Dynasty, I'm waiting for you to fight here, if you think you have what it takes, come and fight me!"

  "You're still lingering here despite your defeat, aren't you ashamed? Do you think you still have the ability to fight? I am a Qi practitioner from Wuhua Mountain, and I've come today to meet you." A female Qi practitioner rushed out of the Daqi Imperial Camp to fight Wang Guang.

  The female practitioner rode a five-colored deer, and the five-colored deer had horns on its head that were more than three feet high, with all kinds of precious stones hanging from them. As they ran along this road, the sound of clanging was loud and clear, shining brightly in all directions.

  Although the female cultivator who came was beautiful, Wang Guang had a belly full of fire in his heart and not a single thought of cherishing her. With a flick of both hands, two three-foot-sized golden palms condensed out of thin air.

  The two golden palms flashed in the air, and thousands of red copper sands fell into the two golden large hands like swallows returning to their nests. For a moment, the golden large hands changed to reddish-yellow, and the copper sands rotated on the palms before fiercely slapping down towards the female Qi practitioner.

  The female practitioner drew a pair of mandarin duck knives from her waist and let out a charming cry as she clashed with the two golden palms. Clang, clang, clang, some copper sand was chopped off by the double knives, but before it even hit the ground, it was absorbed back in by the divine power of the molten gold claws.

  After seven or eight rounds of fighting, the female Qi practitioner was exhausted and had the intention of retreating.

  "The Taoist thinks you're formidable, I'm not a match for you." After saying this, the female Qi practitioner patted the Five-Colored Deer, and saw that the Five-Colored Deer's four hooves rose up with red, orange, yellow, green, and blue five-colored smoke. With the help of the smoke, the Five-Colored Deer quickly escaped back to its own camp at an incredible speed.

  "Go there and leave your life with me." Seeing his opponent escape, how could Wang Guang bear it? With a flick of both hands, the golden giant hand in the air fiercely slapped towards the opponent.

  Just as the large hand was about to slap the female Qi practitioner, she suddenly turned her head and stretched out her hand to grab some gems hanging from the antlers of the five-colored deer and threw them over.

  Those few gems were incredibly powerful, and with a few explosions, not only did they break the divine power of the Golden Claw, but also scattered the red copper sand that was wrapped around it in all directions.

  Fortunately, the Red Copper Sand had been tempered by Wang Guang for many years and was personally refined by him. Therefore, it did not lose its connection, a stream of spiritual power poured in, and the scattered Red Copper Sand suddenly gathered together again, forming a bead the size of a dragon's eye that fell into Wang Guang's mouth under his tongue.

  "Unexpectedly, a female Qi practitioner actually has such means. I don't know what kind of seal was imprinted on that gemstone, but its power is incredibly strong. Fortunately, my Red Copper Sand had undergone tempering, otherwise it would have been destroyed by this blow!" As soon as he thought that the Red Copper Sand might be damaged, his heart was filled with regret and fear.

  But the female practitioner who rode the five-petaled deer, Hua Rong, discolored and escaped back to the camp after seeing that Wang Guang had not followed up. She also let out a breath of relief. Turning her head to see other practitioners with a face full of disdain, she suddenly knew that she was being looked down upon.

  "You guys are mocking me, a woman. Don't you think it's beneath your dignity? If you think my skills aren't up to par, why don't you go and fight him yourselves? At least I have the guts to go and fight." The female martial artist said this out of discontent with others' scornful looks and in anger.

  "Little girl, you can't talk like that. Think about it, among us, the most rubbish cowherd boy can beat up that Qi practitioner and make him lose face, but you're even more powerful than the cowherd boy, so why did you lose after just 7 or 8 rounds? Is there some secret plot in your fight?" A sly Qi practitioner stroked his three wisps of whiskers under his nose and laughed strangely. "Have you made an appointment for a time? If you're in a hurry, I can temporarily take the place of that Qi practitioner and have a date with you first, so as to avoid you going there and not knowing how to use your skills, and being looked down upon by the other side."

  This remark caused most of the Qi practitioners to burst out laughing, while only a few frowned in disapproval at their companions' words. However, as they were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy army, they didn't dare to recklessly rebuke them, lest it trigger internal conflict and give the Tianyu Imperial Court an opportunity.

  "You guys are shameless, you've completely lost the dignity of a Qi Practitioner." The female Qi Practitioner riding the five-colored deer let out a cold snort and turned her mount around to head towards the distant cow-riding Qi Practitioner, where she began discussing something with him in hushed tones, ignoring the other Qi Practitioners.

  "Alright! You guys hold the fort for me, wait till I go up and take care of that little brat. Then we'll see what kind of expression that little girl will have." Meanwhile, a nearby Qi Practitioner saw the female Qi Practitioner riding the Five-Petaled Deer and the male Qi Practitioner riding the Ox quietly talking to each other, and suddenly his heart was filled with rage.

  "Don't be impulsive, an old saying goes: don't be impulsive, or you'll be punished." An older cultivator nearby pulled him back and lowered his voice, "Why get so angry over a woman? On the battlefield of these two armies, swords and knives are blind to everything. What's more, there are several pairs of cultivators fighting, and if you're not careful, you might get caught in the crossfire and get hurt. Let's not talk about bad luck or good luck, just being able to escape from there would be a blessing. Absolutely do not take risks."

  As they spoke, seven or eight more Qi practitioners rushed to the front of the two armies and began fighting. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a Qi practitioner from the Tianyu Imperial Court had been blown up by dark lightning, leaving only a wisp of soul lingering around his corpse, unwilling to leave as he waited for his companions to rescue him. The Qi practitioners who rushed forward were trying to get their hands on his soul.
