Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Upon hearing Huo Zizai's words, several of his confidants immediately bowed in acknowledgment and were swept away by the sword light, heading towards a place thousands of miles away. As for the few who hesitated, Huo Zizai's eyes turned cold. Although he did not withdraw the sword light, he would not come to their aid afterward.

She firmly believed in one saying: Loyalty is not absolute, and absolute loyalty is not loyalty.

These people are no longer usable!

………………

On the other side, dozens of rogue cultivators at the Yuan Dan stage steadied themselves in a flash, but all of them silently released the divine light of their protective magic treasures, and their vigilance was raised to the highest level.

Five wisps of multicolored smoke rose from Zhu Hong's body not far away, and then vanished without a trace.

Zhu Hong glanced at Li Xiaochen, who was struggling in black not far away, hesitated for a moment, and still did not open the Taiyi Five Smoke Luo. For him, the risk was too great.

As for what to do if Li Xiaochen dies? Well, that's just a matter of letting things be. After all, the dead have no right to cooperate with us.

Li Xiaochen, who appeared to be struggling but was actually as steady as a rock, looked at the group of unmoved rogue cultivators and Zhu Hong, whose expression was completely unwavering, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "None of these people are good people!"

Not wanting to reveal her trump card, Li Xiaochen reluctantly touched her wrist. Five gems on a gold bracelet on her wrist lit up one by one, raising a pale golden shield that protected her.

Seeing this, the others reacted in various ways: some with mockery in their eyes; some remained expressionless; some breathed a sigh of relief; and so on.

………………

As the illusory image of the immortal mountain descended, the sea surface seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force, forming a bowl-shaped area of ​​tens of thousands of miles in diameter. Countless ferocious beasts and human figures could not withstand the immense force and continuously exploded into plumes of blood mist.

Before the illusory image of the immortal mountain could continue its descent, a gigantic figure rapidly rose from beneath the sea surface, causing thousands of kilograms of seawater to surge upwards against the current.

"Bang... Rumble..."

With a loud bang, the invisible pressure instantly squeezed and burst the tens of thousands of tons of seawater, turning it into a torrential downpour that covered an area of ​​thousands of miles, and for a time, water mist filled the air.

With just one strike, tens of thousands more creatures perished completely.

After being struck, the once clear and picturesque phantom of the immortal mountain flashed with light and was reduced to a faint phantom, its oppressive aura no longer present.

Everyone relaxed, and before they could catch their breath, they saw a huge landmass rising from the sea, covered with sharp, sword-like peaks that soared into the clouds.

Some people were still wondering, while others thought that the cave had surfaced from the sea.

Then someone shouted, "No, this isn't land. Look, what a huge head!"

With that sound, an enormous turtle head rose from the seabed. When it opened its mouth, it spewed out a celestial river, which then surged back and swept across the sky.

Amidst countless screams, the Milky Way swept across, instantly swallowing countless people whole. With a tear and a bite from its sharp teeth, the giant tortoise devoured them as food.

At the same time, countless sharp sword-like peaks shot up from the turtle's back with a series of "bangs," truly causing injury upon grazing and death upon contact. In an instant, countless people once again performed a scene reminiscent of dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

Faced with this scene, Qu Hanjiang and Ming Zhonghe couldn't help but look grim. Within the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation, the power of the other three formations—fire, wind, and thunder—might not be able to deal with this ferocious creature with its defense maxed out.

"Huo Zizai, if you don't make a move soon, none of us will benefit," said Tianjun Qu Hanjiang.

"hehe!"

A soft laugh came from afar, followed by a woman's voice that flickered like a flame, sometimes near and sometimes far, saying, "Qu Hanjiang, now you want to play the good guy again? You've really put on an act."

Qu Hanjiang's expression turned ugly. Before joining the Emei Sect, he had played the role of a young male lead for a local family at the foot of Mount Emei for three days, and he was almost kept by someone. This was a disgrace to his life.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zizai reopened his wounds today, and Tianjun Qu Hanjiang was filled with murderous intent, wishing he could activate the formation on the spot and kill this bastard.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing how tolerant Qu Hanjiang was, Huo Zi laughed heartily, but also gained a deeper understanding of his hidden ruthlessness.

However, now is not the time for petty squabbles. He said, "I will have to trouble you to activate the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fire. I can't let you do all the work by myself. I don't want to be tricked by your grand formation later."

Ming Zhonghe chuckled insincerely, "How could that be? Fellow Daoist Huo is exaggerating!"

Huo Zizai snorted coldly and said, "Everyone knows who they are, so stop talking nonsense and activate the formation. If we delay any longer, everyone will die!"

Ming Zhonghe nodded and immediately activated the array plate, drawing in true energy to activate the array.

In an instant, fiery red spread across half the sky, like clusters of fiery clouds hanging in the heavens, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply, causing even the seawater to evaporate.

The next moment, a karmic fire red lotus sword aura, as thick as a water vat and over a hundred feet long, flew rapidly toward the tortoise shell, sweeping away countless fire clouds along the way and transforming into a pillar of fire that supported the sky.

"Boom!"

As the towering pillar of fire struck the tortoise shell, countless karmic flames, like sharks drawn by the scent of blood, raged wildly across the shell, igniting wisps of malevolent energy, instantly transforming the sea into a sea of ​​fire.

With a miserable howl, the huge turtle head shook around and sprayed a mouthful of water onto its shell. Instead of extinguishing the karmic fire, it caused the fire to scatter and ignite even more of the sea.

Seeing this, the giant tortoise stopped and instantly dived, stirring up countless rapids as it headed towards the depths of the sea, intending to use the immense pressure of the seabed tens of thousands of feet deep to extinguish the karmic fire.

As the giant turtle submerged, countless ferocious beasts followed suit, and after a short while, the sea returned to calm.

When everyone turned around and looked, their expressions turned grim. With this single blow, nearly half of the three to four hundred thousand people present had been wiped out.

Beneath the surface of the sea, who knows how many ferocious beasts, like giant turtles, are lurking.

Realizing that the fire dragon had broken through their elaborate plan without even revealing its face, many people gained a clearer understanding of its power. Immediately, some turned their swords around and fled quickly into the distance.

"Huo Zizai, fellow independent cultivators, we must work together from now on. Otherwise, I fear we will be wiped out before we even see the cave dwelling," said Heavenly Lord Qu Hanjiang.

Emperor Ming Zhonghe took out a diagram and said, "This is a contract, witnessed by many powerful beings. Once the oath is made, the violator will be hunted down by countless righteous powerful beings. It is absolutely effective."

Huo Zizai nodded, knowing that the Emei Sect still held the advantage, and said, "Okay, but I want to make it clear that cooperation will only last until we enter the cave. After entering the cave, everything will depend on our own abilities."

The leaders of the scattered cultivators whispered among themselves for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After the contract was signed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged smiles, and awaited the upcoming battle.

P.S.: ① In ancient times, there were indeed women who liked handsome young men and even kept them as mistresses. I'm not making this up; you can look it up yourself.

Chapter 622 Decisive Battle 3

Beneath the surface of the sea, a look of disdain flashed in the fire dragon's eyes. Although it was not a true dragon, it was still weak to a powerful figure like Su Yuchen.

In this realm, although it is not as powerful as Master Miaoyi Qi Shuming, its true energy and dragon body are far beyond what these lowly soldiers can imagine.

It just goes to show how little experience we have; it's terrifying!

With a dragon's roar, the creature, resembling both a fish and a kun, rode the boundless seawater and sped towards the surface.

………………

"boom!"

A sound like thunder rang in everyone's ears, and they saw endless seawater surging upwards.

"Here we go again!" someone groaned, bracing themselves for an attack with the force of ten thousand pounds.

The next second, a huge figure leaped up from the seabed and came above everyone's heads. The figure was so large that it even blocked out the sunlight.

"Hey!"

With a low growl, the enormous figure swung its tail, instantly turning countless people into mincemeat; with a flick of its massive fins, countless wind blades instantly formed, hurtling towards the crowd.

With screams of agony, countless people were sliced ​​into pieces by the wind blades in the blink of an eye, turning to ashes and disappearing completely.

In just over ten breaths, the number of natural disasters present had decreased by nearly half, and only at this moment did everyone see the creature floating in the void.

"In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of Peng is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; when it is angry and flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky."

"Myth has come true!"

"Kunpeng!!! Are you sure we can handle this?"

……

For a time, countless people were intimidated and began to consider retreating.

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Ming Zhonghe's expression tightened. There weren't many cannon fodder left, and he couldn't let them go. At the very least, they had to be professional and die back to their deaths to be considered good cannon fodder!

The two brothers exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't let these people continue to speculate.

Immediately, the Heavenly Lord stepped forward, his voice booming like a bell, and said, "Everyone, don't be afraid. This is definitely not a Kunpeng. The Kunpeng flies into the sky and becomes a roc. It is still in the form of a fish and is just trying to scare us. Kill it, and the cave will be right in front of us."

Upon hearing this, some people were excited, some hesitated, and some were skeptical.

The enormous Kun fish flicked its head, looking at the Heavenly Lord who had stepped forward. With a flick of its fins, two azure wind blades, each a hundred feet long, instantly formed a cross, crisscrossing through the crowd. Their power was undiminished as they charged towards Heavenly Lord Qu Hanjiang.

Faced with this situation, Qu Hanjiang had nowhere to retreat. Immediately, he unleashed a sword light, a hundred-foot-long purple beam accompanied by the sound of lightning and thunder, with tremendous force, striking towards the wind blade.

"boom!"

The wind blades shattered instantly. Before Qu Hanjiang could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Kun fish let out a mocking low cry, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of wind blades, each a hundred feet long, formed and rushed towards the crowd.

"Rain begins! Thunder!"

Ming Zhonghe's expression changed, and he immediately activated the array plate. Amidst the curses of countless people, countless points of lightning flashed across the sky, then streaked across the sky like shooting stars, falling towards the massive body of the Kun fish.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a series of thunderous booms, the back of the Kun fish seemed to explode, countless bolts of lightning flashing as blood splattered everywhere. The Kun fish let out a mournful cry and was about to fall into the sea.

"It wants to run away, stop it!" said the Heavenly Lord.

Before Ming Zhonghe could answer, he mobilized even more true energy, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined, transforming into a massive net of thunder that encircled the Kun fish.

With a roar, the Kun fish withdrew its true energy, and its massive body began a free fall, carrying immense force as it slammed into the lightning net. After a rebound, it broke through the lightning net, carrying a smell of roasted meat, and crashed into the seabed with a 'bang'.

Watching the Kun fish break free of the net and disappear, Qu Hanjiang and Ming Zhonghe couldn't help but look grim. Looking around, their expressions became even more unpleasant.

Besides those killed by the Kun fish, there were also those whose true energy was forcibly extracted by them and turned into cannon fodder. At this moment, all things considered, there were less than 50,000 cannon fodder left, and many more people looked at them with hatred in their eyes and turned into sword light to escape.

The two brothers couldn't openly stop these cannon fodder from leaving, after all, they still had to maintain their public personas, otherwise how could they be role models of righteousness?

"Now the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation only has one last strike left. The fire dragon has not yet appeared. Once it does, what will we use to deal with it?" the Heavenly Lord said.

"Moreover, no one knows whether the next creature to appear will be the fire dragon or some other ferocious beast," Huo Zizai said.

Ming Zhonghe looked around and said, "So many people have died. Are we just going to retreat like this? We'll really become a laughing stock."

"Heh!" Huo Zizai sneered and said, "If the next one to appear is not that fire dragon, I will immediately turn around and leave, fleeing to a place tens of thousands of miles away, and never linger. Moreover, before becoming a great power, I will never approach within a radius of tens of thousands of miles."

Many experts among the rogue cultivators immediately nodded, clearly agreeing with what Huo Zizai said.

Qu Hanjiang: ...

Ming Zhonghe: ...

………………

Deep under the sea.

With its eyes tightly closed, the fire dragon, seemingly at ease, twitched its ears, a hint of mockery flashing in its eyes. Then, with a sway of its body and a roar, it led countless ferocious beasts toward the sea.

Hundreds of meters above the sea, all the ferocious beasts spontaneously stopped and, led by the three-headed sea serpent, awaited their summons.

"Yan!"

With a deafening dragon roar, the thousand-foot-long dragon body broke through the sea surface. Wind and clouds gathered and submerged the dragon's body, leaving only a huge dragon head looking at everyone.

………………

"Alright, stop arguing! I suppose this guy has run out of beasts to use." Qu Hanjiang and Ming Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief.

The group of independent cultivators nodded in agreement.

Huo Zizai was still somewhat hesitant; no matter how you looked at it, those enormous dragon eyes were full of mockery.

Before everyone could finish discussing, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky. The enormous sound wave was like a depth charge, instantly sweeping across the area. Countless people were covered by layers of protective shields, which shattered and shattered, then rose again, like tangled weeds swaying in the wind.

After finally waiting for the sonic attack to pass, hundreds of sword lights, each a hundred feet long, rose up. Led by Qu Hanjiang, Ming Zhonghe, and Huo Zizai, three sword lights with a chilling gleam swept across the sky, and countless sword energies rushed towards the fire dragon.

“Singing…”

A dragon's roar rang out, but it had no power whatsoever, sounding more like a coquettish whim.

"Ha! Beg for mercy? Too late!" Ming Zhonghe sneered, his sword flashing like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword lights moved with lightning speed, followed closely by countless sword energies that rained down on the fire dragon's entire scales.

Before the sword energy could strike, the scales on the fire dragon's neck rippled, revealing a gleaming collar. Before anyone could see it clearly, the collar flashed and appeared atop the dragon's head. With an excited roar, the sky filled with sword energy vanished instantly, as if the previous attack had been an illusion.

Before anyone could be surprised, the collar, which was neither gold, wood, stone, nor jade, spun around, instantly generating immense suction, ignoring the blood-forged relationship between everyone and the flying swords and magical artifacts.

In a flash of inspiration, countless people coughed up blood, losing their flying swords and magical treasures.

Then the collar moved and returned to the fire dragon's neck.

The natives of this world hadn't figured it out yet, and were still coughing up blood, while countless natural disasters on Earth had already realized something, and their faces turned as white as snow.

"Diamond Bracelet!"

"Sun Wukong!"
