Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

I don't know if this guy is doing this because of the current perfect trend of the Long family and because of Ayu's flattery, but seeing his high spirits is really not quite right.

Of course, all of this was heard by the two people in the air. At this moment, Long Xiangtian was concentrating on dealing with the giant divine dog. Under Long Xiangtian's control, the relic shone with golden light, which was very beautiful.

At this moment, the Howling Celestial Dog stared fiercely at Long Xiangtian, like a vicious dog eyeing its prey.

"Wang!"

The enormous figure of the Celestial Hound swept in like a tidal wave, while Long Xiangtian muttered incantations, his techniques ever-changing.

Perhaps because the Five Elements technique from before left a shadow on Xiaotian Dog, it dared not go all out, fearing that the opponent might use some other tricks this time.

However, this was exactly what Long Xiangtian was thinking. At this moment, the formation was mainly offensive with defense as a secondary function, which was not as Xiaotianquan had said.

But once bitten, twice shy, and this was especially true of the Howling Celestial Dog. Long Xiangtian looked completely at ease, seeing that his incantation and technique were complete.

"Today I'll show you what happens when you look down on people like a dog." Long Xiangtian looked down at the people below, enjoying the feeling of victory that was so wonderful.

Back when my family was in power, everyone greeted me with smiles. But now that I'm truly down on my luck, who will lend a helping hand?

This is reality, this is the prevailing social atmosphere. Therefore, you can only dominate the world if you are stronger than others, make people admire you, and make that power be respected from the bottom of their hearts.

The relics formed a golden barrier before Long Xiangtian, incredibly solid.

Facing the all-out attack of the Celestial Hound, Long Xiangtian remained calm and composed, while the Celestial Hound's heart pounded wildly, unable to stay still.

"Keng!"

A loud bang—that was the sound of the giant divine dog striking the relic.

"Keng!"

Another loud bang, and Xiaotian Dog was unwilling to let Long Xiangtian go so easily.

"Keng!"

What followed was a series of crashing sounds. The deafening noise made the people of Tang Ancheng dizzy and knocked them around, leaving only a few with strong willpower who stayed in place to continue watching.

The others had already gone home to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Long laughed loudly, "The defense of this formation is simply not worth mentioning compared to its attack. You can't even get past my wall now. This is really interesting."

At this moment, Yang Jian and the others in the Long family mansion were also in a critical situation.

Since they had already started, there was no reason to stop. Therefore, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were naturally not going to let Yang Jian go so easily.

Yang Jian, being a True Lord, was naturally not one to back down. He initially thought that sending Xiaotian Dog to capture a mortal was a waste of his talents.

Now, I never expected that so much time would pass without any news.

This matter is probably not simple, but all I can do now is to deal with these two guys and then see what's going on.

Although Sha Wujing was knocked back, he was not seriously injured. Therefore, after a few adjustments, he was able to join Zhu Bajie in fighting the enemy.

"Alright, alright, today I'll beat you all back to the Western Paradise!" Yang Jian's trident reappeared in his hand, three golden beams of light shot out from three points, and the shaft of the trident spun in his hand under Yang Jian's control, forming a whirlwind.

Pigsy also took out his Nine-Toothed Rake, and Sandy transformed into the Eightfold Golden Arhat once again. Holding their scepters, the two worked together and were not afraid of Erlang Shen at all.

Pigsy roared to the sky, and after a series of roars, the ground began to collapse. Yang Jian pushed off the ground and descended from the sky, his wind spear exuding an aggressive aura.

Sha Wujing planted his scepter into the ground, channeling all his power into his bones, making it shine brightly.

Pigsy swept across with his nine-toothed rake, while Yang Jian fired a ruthless shot at Sandy. The two metals clashed with a piercing sound, sparks flying.

Facing the sweeping rake, Yang Jian met it with his right leg, and threw a palm strike at Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy controlled the earth element to form an earthen wall in front of him, absorbing all the damage.

Sha Wujing used the power of the earth to withstand Yang Jian's trident. Yang Jian used the trident to restrain Sha Wujing, while his own hands and feet were engaged with Zhu Bajie.

The three remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to yield an inch.

They maintain this posture by drawing strength from the inexhaustible source within each person's body, because they know that whoever falters first will be utterly defeated.

Chapter 928 A Game Within a Game, A Man Within a Man

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, Long Xiangtian was controlling the relic as if he were disciplining a dog, and he was thoroughly disciplining Xiaotianquan in a way that was very satisfying.

After the relic was awakened, it not only emitted golden light but was also extremely hot.

If this bead were placed in an glacier, its temperature would be so high that it could melt instantly.

Therefore, since the Celestial Hound couldn't harm Long Xiangtian, the bead struck the Celestial Hound heavily again and again, causing it great pain.

This caused the Celestial Dog to howl incessantly.

The painful groans did not stop Long Xiangtian, because he knew that Yang Jian was currently caught in the crossfire of the two Buddhist monks and unable to defend himself.

Otherwise, they would have come looking for trouble long ago.

In fact, Long Xiangtian hadn't realized that everything was going so smoothly, because the other party was, after all, a master of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Even if our side is too powerful, we still cannot contend with them.

For those who are already Great Luo Golden Immortals, the difference of just one stage is already enormous, and there is no chance of turning the tables.

Unless you're someone with countless treasures, you're unlikely to be able to take on challenges that are beyond your level here.

The reason why Pigsy and Sandy were able to contend with Yang Jian was because of the effect of that drop of blood from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The first effect of this blood is to reduce a person's cultivation level. As the blood is absorbed, the person affected will experience a decrease in cultivation level due to the absorption of the blood, and then feel powerless.

Therefore, after several minutes of standoff, Yang Jian could clearly feel that he was struggling to manage his strength, and the feeling of being powerless made it difficult for him to cope with the situation.

However, at this moment he remembered that he had cooperated with the Demonic Sect.

Just as a person who is drowning will grasp at anything that can save him.

"You two, why aren't you coming over to help?" Yang Jian didn't have much hope for himself when he said this, because he knew that the two people from the Demonic Sect weren't fools.

Their initial cooperation was solely due to a need for power, but now that he was finding it difficult to resist, it was possible that they might abandon him as an ally.

Nie Feng glanced at Bu Jingyun, as if seeking his opinion on something.

After watching the spectacle for so long, Bu Jingyun's mind began to race, wondering how he should handle the situation.

If they just watch Yang Jian and the others fail like this, then their own demonic sect will definitely have a hard time succeeding. But if they help Yang Jian fight them, then when only the two of them are left, will they turn around and attack them?

This is definitely a difficult problem to handle, but I can't ignore it.

However, it seems that Yang Jian must have been hit by some kind of trick to be in this state, otherwise the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the previous stage would not have been like this.

"True Lord, are you feeling a little unwell?" Bu Jingyun's sudden question caught Yang Jian and Zhu Bajie off guard.

Pigsy thought to himself, "How does this guy know so much?"

Yang Jian nodded as if his unspeakable secret had been exposed, saying, "Yes, I feel powerless."

But he soon regretted it, wondering if he would be killed by Pigsy and the others because of what he said.

But there was no time to worry about that now. If he continued to feign weakness, he would surely lose anyway. Now, he could only place his hopes on the people of the Demonic Sect.

Nie Feng, seemingly a little impatient, asked, "Should I go help them?"

Bu Jingyun did not answer him directly, but instead crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if he was considering something.

They've been stuck with these three people in a stalemate.

A few more minutes passed, and these few minutes were one of the most difficult times in Yang Jian's life, as his feeling of being powerless grew stronger and stronger.

Therefore, if there is not even a second of resistance, the pain one has to endure will increase.

By this time, they had long since given up hope on the Demonic Sect. If they truly considered themselves an ally, they would have already offered their assistance.

If they still refuse now, it will be difficult to deal with them today.

However, just when Yang Jian thought he was about to fail, Bu Jingyun stopped giving instructions to Nie Feng and appeared beside the three of them as if he had turned into a gust of wind.

One palm!

It was just one palm strike! The three seemed unable to withstand such power and were forced to separate.

They poured it onto each other.

Yang Jian: "This, how is this possible!?" Although the other party had helped him, this was definitely not the result he wanted to see.

Pigsy thought to himself, "This guy is indeed a clever one. This is troublesome! If I get the chance, I must get rid of him first."

However, Bu Jingyun was one of the few who understood the reasons behind it.

Because he had been waiting, waiting for the perfect moment, a moment that none of the three of them could bear.

From his perspective, this tripartite balance of power only involves two people, or rather, two sides.

In that situation just now, Yang Jian was tricked from the start. Although his power was greatly reduced, he was still a veteran of many battles.

The two Buddhist monks were able to do this by utilizing their respective strengths, using Sha Wujing's golden Arhat body and strong resistance to attacks to distract Yang Jian's main attack, namely the trident.

Then, by using Zhu Bajie's greater strength to engage Yang Jian in hand-to-hand combat, the result would naturally be to slowly wear Yang Jian down to death.

However, once Yang Jian fails, the two in the Demonic Sect will lose their greatest support, and when Long Xiangtian returns, they will also be unable to escape defeat.

Therefore, Bu Jingyun thought that Yang Jian should be saved, but he couldn't save him too soon. Once he recovered, he would be in charge again.

Therefore, the current three parties are truly in a tripartite balance of power!

The situation in Tang'an City was a cultivation practice orchestrated by Li Xiuyuan, but in another place: Hell.
