Chapter 64: A Contest of Dao Techniques

  Jin Can and Wang Yan Zhi dared to snatch people under the nose of San Long Hui, naturally they had something to rely on. At least this hiding place they found was unlikely to be discovered. In a dilapidated building not far from the city center, who would have thought that they were so bold as to hide someone here? But what's with the gunshot? Although it's a dilapidated building, it's still in the city center! Firing a gun here isn't asking for death?

  "You'd better run, if it's not the police who opened fire here, then it's the Sanlong Society. Any one of them would be more than you can handle, haha, your plan is going to fall through." Looking at Jin Can's stunned expression, I continued to strike him down. The unfallen Tian Shi Dao was never an opponent as despicable as this, otherwise his senior brother Jin De wouldn't have had to become a guardian of the Sanlong Society. Guardian, it sounds good, but in reality it's just a high-level thug.

  "Kid, what are you so happy about? I still have some sentiment for our shared past and haven't killed you yet. But with other forces at play, it's not certain that will continue. The Wheel of Reincarnation can merge your soul, killing you won't stop me from using it. Besides, those individuals are more ruthless towards ghosts than living people, do you know what they'll choose?"" Jin Can sneered in response, if he hadn't sworn a poisonous oath with Wang Yan Zhi, he would have already killed him with one palm strike, why waste his breath.

  "So what, it's just one death, besides, if they dare to kill me, I won't be afraid to stir up trouble at a critical moment. They're not that stupid." Although Jin Can hit the nail on the head, I still continued to talk tough. Jin Can actually made a lot of sense, and even I had thought of this point before. There are many Taoist priests, martial artists, and other extraordinary people, but even if their entire sects joined forces, it would be difficult for them to truly go all out against the Three Dragons Society. Why? Because they have guns, and who knows, maybe even planes and cannons. Those extraordinary individuals, no matter how powerful, are still human, so it's even more difficult for them to snatch a living person. But what if that person is dead?"

  When it comes to dealing with ghosts and monsters, even the Three Dragons can't keep up. Even if those who are worshipped aren't willing to fight against the famous schools for money, those eccentric heroes can easily take down a ghost with just one stroke. Hiding in the depths of the mountains, who can find them? Then they would use all their strength to search for the whereabouts of the Wandering Immortal Cave. As long as they found it, that person would be the only one to achieve immortality, without any opponents.

  "Get your hands and feet ready, you're thinking too much. Wait till you understand the Tao a bit more, then you'll know if you have the chance to get physical." Jin Can let out a cold laugh in response, what an idiot, the True Record of the Graph is indeed wasted in this person's hands.

  Alright, I'll shut up, who made me still a rookie anyway? Although better than the kind that just started out, but still a rookie.

  Jin Can held a peach wood sword in his hand, standing on the spot, vigilant and silent, carefully looking around. Three minutes later, Wang Yan Zhi rushed in hastily.

  "Who exactly is coming, why are you so flustered? Is it Zhang Yuanjun and his crew?" Jin Can shouted at Wang Yan Zhi the moment he saw him. Whoever could make Wang Yan Zhi this anxious must be a formidable character. The first people that came to mind were those two remnants of the Three Gods Sect, Zhang Yuanjun and Shangguan Yan. It was likely they had their sights set on Huang Que, but even if they did show up, Jin Can wasn't afraid - he and Wang Yan Zhi joining forces would be more than a match for them.

  "No, it's the four major families who have made their move. Among them, the elder Tu De-xing of the Tu family has taken action. He also has a helper, a woman with extremely powerful martial arts skills, and is likely to have achieved internal energy perfection. I am no match for her now. I've already activated the formation, which can delay them for three minutes. Let's retreat!" Wang Yan-zhi replied, "Damn it, what a tragic fate! Just last night, he was startled away by a mysterious expert, and now another one appears. Why is he so unlucky?"

  "The four major families, didn't they already declare that they wouldn't interfere with this matter? And yet, these are the words of their core legitimate sons," Jin Can asked doubtfully, could it be that even the Guardian Families couldn't resist the temptation of longevity?

  "How do I know why, anyway, just kill this kid and take his soul quickly, let's go, with the soul we can still force out where the True Scripture of the Diagram is" Wang Yanqi shouted loudly, damn it, at this time, what's the point of entangling with this problem?

  "No way, I'm not willing to do that. Kou Qianzhi wouldn't have passed it down without being prepared for the consequences of being killed. If he had made some kind of arrangement in this kid's soul, then once he died his soul would either disperse or be reborn, and you'd still dare to kill him all the way to the underworld? " Jin Can replied. The underworld was a forbidden place for cultivators, where thousands of years old ghosts were as common as grains of rice, and any one of them that came out would be an extraordinary powerful demon, so it was impossible for those mythological stories where people casually sneak into the underworld at night to exist."

  "How could Kou Qianzhi think of so much, and where did this kid's inheritance come from, you're not fooling me!" Wang Yan was furious, damn it, how could he be so stupid, making such a vow, otherwise it would have been better to turn against Jin Can now.

  "Don't underestimate Kou Kenji's abilities. You can go now, I want to see how capable the people of the four major families are." Jin Can replied calmly.

  "You, you, you want to go head-to-head with the four major families? Are you out of your mind?" Wang Yan Zhi was shocked after hearing this, the four major families had been passed down for a thousand years, and there were always masters emerging from them. Plus, they were low-key in their actions, so no one knew how powerful they really were, but it could be guessed that they were extremely formidable. A few years ago, the Three Gods Sect was arrogant and provoked the Orthodox Sect, which formed an alliance to hunt them down. An elder of the four major families fought against Zhang Yuan Jun, and the result was that Zhang Yuan Jun retreated with a loss, while the elder emerged unscathed. Most importantly, Zhang Yuan Jun's cultivation level was almost on par with theirs.

  "No need for idle chatter. If you're not leaving, then stay and keep me company. If you are leaving, then hurry up and go." Jin Can was too lazy to engage in pointless conversation with him, but he did want to see how formidable the four major families were.

  "Alright, you asked for it!" Wang Yan Zhi gritted his teeth and turned to leave. Since you're looking for death, then go die!

  "Hum" Wang Yan Zhi had just left, and the formation he carefully set up was broken in less than three minutes. Soon, two figures appeared before Jin Can, who were Tu De Xing and Li Lan.

  "Let him go, or you will not live." Li Lan held up a long gun, aiming at Jin Can, while Jin Can placed the peach wood sword on my neck. Although it was only a peach wood sword in his hand, no one dared to underestimate its power. The real peach wood sword was a refined instrument that had undergone complex processing and would not be much inferior to a real sword when cutting people.

  "In the lower realm of Tian Shi Dao, I met Tu Chang Lao and heard that the four major families' Taoist methods are renowned throughout the heavens. The tradition has been passed down for a long time, but I had never seen it before. Today, I finally saw it and indeed it lives up to its reputation." Jin Can said loudly with his head held high, just like when he met Zhang Yuan Jun, full of pride.

  "It turned out to be a fellow Taoist of the Heavenly Master's sect, what a fortunate encounter. I am Tu De Xing, and Jin Can Dao Zhang has specially waited for me again, I wonder if there is any instruction." Tu De Xing also replied lightly, his expression naturally somewhat arrogant.

  "Of course it's a big deal, they say the four major families are formidable, why don't we make a bet on this instead?"

  "What's at stake?"

  "I bet my life, I lost. You won, the four families cannot avenge me." Jin Can pointed to the person below his sword with his peach wood sword.

  "Alright, let's bet then. Go ahead, it's spacious outside." Tu Dexing agreed resolutely and turned around, his toes tapping the ground as he jumped out of the room with a few swift movements. Jin Can also jumped out after giving Li Lan a meaningful glance, not fearing that Li Lan would take people away. Without Tu Dexing around, Li Lan alone was still not a concern for him, considering his own martial arts skills were not inferior either.

  "Ah, Lan Jie, how did you find this place?" Jin Can walked away, and I suddenly felt deflated. Actually, I had already been seriously injured, but I had been holding on until now.

  "Shut up, I know you're hurt. Quick, swallow this medicine and stabilize your injury." Li Lan took out a jade bottle from her pocket and poured out several pills into my mouth.

  It was a bitter pill to swallow, but I still asked "Lan sister, how did you guys find this place?" I'm afraid they were set up by someone, what if there's another Huang Que? The situation is so complicated now, who knows?

  "It was a high-ranking person who told us that as soon as we entered Dengfeng, we would know that you were wanted by the police, and the people of Sanlonghui were also hiding. We rushed to find some local gangs, but still had nothing to gain. However, on the main road, many ants suddenly appeared, forming the five characters 'Dongqiao Louwailou'. There was no tree sap or honey-like substance there. Later, Er Ye said that it was a master who guided the ants, so we found this place." Li Lan replied.

  Although he didn't know how formidable the master was, from Tu De Xing's expression and reaction, it could be inferred that the person was absolutely unfathomable. Otherwise, Tu De Xing wouldn't have been so shocked after seeing the ant, and he didn't even mention pursuing the master.

  "High hand?" My first reaction was to think of that high hand from last night, who could easily scare off Wang Yan Zhi, he should be quite formidable.

  "Never mind who's a master or not, how are you? Can you still walk? Let's get out of here first, this place isn't safe," Li Lan asked anxiously.

  "I can still walk, but what about Tu Er Ye?" Walking is definitely possible, a man should be able to endure this bit of hardship, I'm worried about Tu Er Ye, with the surname Tu, he should be a senior of Zhang's, leaving him here wouldn't be good, would it?

  "It's fine as long as we can leave, Second Master, you don't need to worry about it. Jin Can is no match for Second Master, but we also can't go too far, I'm afraid that Jin Can will resort to some underhanded trick," said Li Lan.

  "Alright, let's go take a look." I struggled to get up with all my might. A duel between two great masters was extremely rare.

  Li Lian supported me, and we quickly arrived at the front door of the rotten building. The front door was a flat ground, with many construction materials scattered around, but at this moment, a light curtain had been erected on this flat ground. Inside the light curtain, there were two small light shields, protecting Tu De Xing and Jin Can. Outside the light shield, sand and rocks flew through the air, and dust filled the sky.

  Jin Can and Tu De Xing were about ten meters apart, each performing their own incantations. Jin Can was using a peach wood sword, while Tu De Xing was using a purple bell.

  "Hurry up like a law, purple bell, move, amnesty order" Tu De Xing shouted loudly, finished the incantation, and the purple bell suddenly swelled up, moving without wind, the bell sound filled his ears, and the purple bell's virtual shadow rushed towards Jin Can.

  "Hasten like the law, rise!" On Jin Can's side, a bizarre phenomenon also appeared. After his incantation, seven extremely tall giants formed beside him, holding various strange weapons and facing the purple bells that were rushing towards them.

  Bang, bang, bang

  "Boom, boom..."

  Although separated by a layer of boundary, we can still hear the clear collision and muffled sound, the battle is very fierce.

  A simple collision of magical tools, temporarily undecided, Tu De Xing again threw out a handful of spirit symbols, after finishing the incantation, the spirit symbols shot towards Jin Can like arrows. Meanwhile, Jin Can held the peach wood sword suspended in mid-air, then stretched out his hand and wiped it, the peach wood sword instantly split into ten, forming a sword array that blocked the attack of the spirit symbols.

  "Turning sword into array, indeed a good move, look at the move!" Unexpectedly, Jin Can still has this kind of move, truly beyond De Xing's expectation. This is much more powerful than that Wang Yan Zhi before.

  "...Mystic art, transformation, realm of thought, pardon, open." This time, Tu De Xing's hand seal was exceptionally long. Jin Can took advantage of the opportunity to attack and almost broke through the protective array in front of him. However, as soon as the spell was finished, a feeling of dizziness and palpitations came over him. Looking around, he saw that Tu De Xing's body had emitted a bright light, and those lights were not scattered, but rather seemed to be growing on his body.

  "What is this, it looks like some kind of strange beast" From a distance, looking at Tu De Xing's appearance, he seemed to have mutated into something else, his entire person looked like a mysterious monster, this should be the secret art of their family.

  "Divine Strike, Ancestor's Descent, Sword Intent Transformed, Sword Formed!" Tudexing had already made his big move, and if Jincheng didn't make a move soon, he would be dead. Suddenly, he also brought out the most powerful technique, not only bringing out the Divine Strike but also transforming the Peachwood Sword into a gigantic lightsaber.

  "Kill!" The two men shouted in unison, and the fierce battle began. Jin Can's side took the lead with a massive sword, charging straight at Tu De Xing. Meanwhile, the seven giants from before slowly closed in. On Tu De Xing's side, the purple bell had completely disappeared, being held in the mouth of the strange beast. The beast suddenly swung its tail and charged towards Jin Can's giant sword. The sword clashed with it once but quickly retreated, allowing the beast to collide with the seven giants instead. However, the giants were no match for the beast, and they immediately scattered upon impact. Using both hands and feet, the beast quickly made short work of the remaining giants, sending them fleeing in all directions.

  "Kill" Jin Can's expression was stern and cold, his hand formed a sword shape, continuously directing the giant sword to attack the alien beast. The movements were extremely agile, causing the alien beast to suffer greatly. If it weren't for its thick skin, it would have been hit already.

  "What's wrong, Lan sister, should I help?" I asked in a low voice, it seems that Tu De Xing is not good.

  "Don't worry, Second Master just hasn't used it yet, it'll be fine later" Li Lan was actually quite confident in Tu De Xing's abilities.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after a while, although the strange beast had many more wounds on its body, it was still vigorous and lively. On the other hand, Jin Can was getting somewhat flustered. With his cultivation level, he couldn't control this giant sword at all - this was something he had summoned with his divine strength, but the time for which the divine strength could be used was limited.

  "Concentrate, divine sword at hand, kill!" For a long time, Jin Can couldn't hold on, and could only desperately try again. He slapped his palm against his chest, spitting out a mouthful of vital energy onto the giant sword's body. The magic seal changed, and the giant sword's radiance immediately retracted, but it made people feel that the sword was much more formidable.

  He felt the other party's desperate intention, and Tu De Xing didn't pretend to be polite either. With a change in his body shape, he also went all out, and saw that he too spat out a mouthful of blood, and the purple bell's purple light suddenly surged greatly. The sound of the bell had a kind of feeling as if it came from outside the sky, making people feel extremely oppressed.

  "Jin Can is going to lose." I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that Jin Can was going to lose. He's not a match for Tu De Xing.

  "Boom" almost simultaneously, the giant sword and purple bell met in mid-air, bursting out intense light and shockwaves, making people involuntarily close their eyes.

  When he opened his eyes again, he saw Tudor and Kim Chan flying away.
