Tianpeng Rebirth: The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism

Chapter 25: Fierce Battle in the Netherworld and the Fight for the Holy Pearl

After Ao Bing cast powerful water spells in succession, his mana was greatly depleted and he gradually became powerless. The guardian beast seized the opportunity and lashed Ao Bing with a tail burning with black flames. Ao Bing was unable to dodge and was hit by the tail. He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and hit the mountain wall heavily, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Ao Bing injured, Yang Jian was extremely anxious. He used his magical power to control the heavens and earth, and his body instantly became extremely huge. The three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand flashed with cold light. He roared and rushed towards the guardian beast. The three-pointed two-edged sword slashed at the guardian beast with a fierce momentum. The guardian beast was not afraid at all, and opened its mouth wide, and a black beam of light shot towards Yang Jian.

The two collided with each other, making a thunderous roar and a radiant light. Yang Jian was shaken back by the impact, and the guardian beast shook its huge body. At this time, Bajie brandished the nine-toothed rake and rushed towards the guardian beast from the side. He shouted, "Look at how powerful I am!" The nine-toothed rake smashed towards the waist of the guardian beast with a huge force.

The guardian beast felt the attack from the side, and swung its tail sideways, colliding with Bajie's rake. With a loud "clang", Bajie felt his arm go numb, and the rake almost flew out of his hand. The guardian beast's power was too strong, and although the three of them fought hard, they gradually found it difficult to hold on.

In the cave, Feng Yao was in a fierce battle with those short monsters emitting black mist. Although the colorful phoenix was injured, it still fought tenaciously with the monsters, constantly spewing flames to prevent the monsters from approaching Feng Yao. Feng Yao held a sword and fought the monsters in close combat under the cover of flames.

These monsters were extremely agile and numerous, rushing towards Feng Yao one after another. Feng Yao waved her sword to kill the approaching monsters while looking for an opportunity to break through. Suddenly, a monster attacked from behind while Feng Yao was not paying attention. Feng Yao sensed the danger and dodged to the side. The monster flew past her shoulder, but still cut a wound on her arm.

Feng Yao ignored the pain and quickly waved the sword in her hand. A stream of sword energy shot towards the monsters. Several monsters were hit by the sword energy and turned into black mist and dissipated. However, more monsters came up. Just when Feng Yao felt a little tired, she suddenly found that these monsters seemed to be very afraid of a certain breath in the colorful phoenix flame.

She concentrated her magic power and guided the five-colored phoenix to condense the power of the flame at one point, and then suddenly sprayed it towards the monsters. A powerful column of flames erupted instantly, and the monsters were enveloped by the flames, screaming and retreating. Feng Yao took the opportunity to rush to the stone platform and reached out to grab the Lingyuan Holy Pearl.

The moment she got the Holy Spirit Source Pearl, it emitted a strong light that enveloped the entire cave. The monsters instantly disappeared under the light. Feng Yao breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the Holy Spirit Source Pearl away.

However, before she left the cave, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave. Feng Yao's heart tightened, and she rode on the colorful phoenix and flew out of the cave. She saw that the people of the mysterious force had arrived and were approaching her quickly. The black-robed man in the lead saw the Lingyuan Holy Pearl in Feng Yao's hand, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Hand over the Lingyuan Holy Pearl, and maybe I can spare your life."

Feng Yao hugged the Lingyuan Holy Pearl tightly, glared at the black-robed man, and said, "You people with evil intentions, don't even think about getting the Lingyuan Holy Pearl. Come and rob it if you have the guts!" The black-robed man snorted coldly and waved his hand. The men behind him rushed towards Feng Yao like a tide.

The colorful phoenix let out a cry and rushed towards the enemy group with Feng Yao. Feng Yao cast the magic of the Phoenix Clan, and fiery red light shot out from her hands and rushed towards the enemies. Some of the enemies cast water spells to try to resist, but Feng Yao's flames were extremely powerful and directly evaporated the water, and continued to attack the enemies. For a moment, shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

On the other side, Yang Jian, Ao Bing and Bajie were still fighting hard with the guardian beast. Yang Jian saw that the situation was getting more and more critical, and he was thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He suddenly remembered some weaknesses of the guardian beast that he had heard in the heaven before. Although the guardian beast was powerful, there was a relatively weak scale behind its eyes. If he could attack there, he might be able to cause serious damage to it.

Yang Jian told Ao Bing and Bajie about this idea, and the three decided to take a risk. Ao Bing endured the pain and cast a water spell again to temporarily trap the lower body of the guardian beast. Bajie waved a spike rake to attract the guardian beast's attention and kept provoking it in front of it.

The guardian beast was enraged by Bajie and focused all its attention on him, attacking him frantically.
