A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

At the request of the Golden Spider Princess, the tiger-headed little demon hid inside the cave.

Then, Golden Spider Princess picked up her longsword and left the cave, heading towards the reed marshes.

She could already sense the aura of an immortal.

She drew her sword and, while still in mid-air, casually waved her hand, instantly creating a large net that enveloped the reeds in the reed marsh. She was right there in the reed marsh.

She is a center.

The center of a spider web, as intricate as a net spread out in the sky.

This is the spider's fighting strategy.

A boat sped by, and four figures suddenly leaped into the air from the boat, each occupying a corner in the sky, completely surrounding the reed marshes.

The ship shot into battle like an arrow released from a bow, empty vessel.

Before entering the reeds, it took to the air and then headed towards the Golden Spider Princess in the middle.

Golden Spider Princess shouted, "Well done!"

With a wave of his hand, a ball of spider silk entangled the ship that was rushing towards him like an arrow, and then he flung it towards Lü Dongbin, the weakest of the four.

It was this Taoist priest who started this whole thing.

"careful!"

Tieguai Li shouted loudly.

Lü Dongbin let out a long roar: "Watch this!"

He swung his longsword and slashed at the ship.

A beam of light instantly tore open the ship's hull, but the spider silk remained intact and crashed head-on into it. Taken aback, the person leaped into the air again, instantly shifting position to barely dodge the attack.

"bang"

A loud bang was faintly heard, and the ship made a huge sound as it crashed into the water, its location unknown.

"Watch me, spider silk is afraid of fire, I will summon the Samadhi True Fire."

With a loud shout, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and chanted mantras. Then, he pointed his vajra at the Golden Spider Princess in the center, and a burst of Samadhi Fire swept towards her.

"boom--"

As the Samadhi True Fire reached the spider silk, it was instantly burned to ashes.

After all, it is still a creature of the Five Elements, so it cannot withstand the burning of the Samadhi True Fire.

"Splittering Light and Shadow!"

Golden Spider Princess shouted.

The long sword in his hand suddenly changed into countless forms.

She was like a radiant sun, and her longsword transformed into thousands of sword beams that shot towards the four of them.

The four of them shouted together and each used their own methods.

Tieguai Li tossed the gourd aside, chanting incantations, attempting to collect the sword light into it.

Lü Dongbin also chanted the incantation, and the longsword in his hand immediately flew up, unleashing the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique. The longsword split into two, then four, then eight...

Instantly, countless longswords blocked the oncoming sword light.

The old monk continued chanting incantations, and suddenly his robes emitted golden light, like a golden bell shield in martial arts, covering his entire body.

The sword light struck the golden shield, making a series of "thump-thump" sounds.

Like raindrops hitting a pipa.

Samantabhadra then brandished his vajra, creating an impenetrable barrier, but the sword light managed to slip through an opening and shoot over, nearly injuring his arm. So he uttered another command—"Change!"

In a flash, it split into two, then into three.

It is a skill that requires three heads and six arms.

With six arms and six eyes watching in all directions, the vajra trembled and there was no gap left. The sword light shattered upon contact and scattered.

This single move, "Splitting Light and Shadow Sword," left the four of them exhausted and struggling to keep up.

Seizing the opportunity, Jin Zhuji continuously unleashed this sword technique, soaring into the sky and bursting out of the reeds. She reached a height higher than the four of them, looking down and striking with her sword.

"Splittering Light and Shadow!"

It was that same trick again, and the four of them gritted their teeth and held on.

This time, however, the attack came from above, instantly increasing the pressure on the four. Ironically, this move was very effective, so Golden Spider Princess specifically used it.

This approach won't work; we'll fail sooner or later.

When Tieguai Li used his gourd to block the sword light, he chanted an incantation, and suddenly his iron crutch flew towards Jin Zhu Ji with a "whoosh".

At this moment, Lü Dongbin's whisk transformed into countless threads, wrapping around the Golden Spider Princess.

"The Phoenix Draws from the Void!"

Golden Spider Princess shouted again, and her longsword suddenly changed its move. The tip of the sword pointed westward, and suddenly the sky changed color, as if a hole had been torn open in the sky, from which a phoenix shadow whistled in.

With a loud phoenix cry, the shadow suddenly enveloped the cane and whisk threads that were beckoning towards the Golden Spider Princess. The phoenix shadow seemed to have an inexplicable aura, neither ordinary nor divine, neither matter nor mind, and it pressed down relentlessly.

"Oh!"

Tieguai Li's cane was struck by Feng Ying and immediately tumbled and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the countless threads of Lü Dongbin's whisk suddenly snapped and turned to ash.

"My whisk."

Lü Dongbin was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

This had accompanied him for many years after he became an immortal, and was one of his most reliable magical treasures. Now it was destroyed in a single encounter. How could he not be angry, how could he not be heartbroken?

"You fiend, I'll take your life!"

Suddenly, Lü Dongbin bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the sword.

Golden Spider Princess laughed loudly: "You demon, you're not good enough, you're already spitting blood. And you want my sister White Peony to be your cauldron, your body can't handle it."

This is a slap in the face.

"The Three-Severed Sword!"

With a shout from Lü Dongbin, the longsword, imbued with Lü Dongbin's essence and blood, obeyed his command. The longsword soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, as if it were about to cleave the heavens.

Suddenly, the sky that had just cracked open turned bluish-black.

A bolt of lightning seemed to roar down from the heavens.

The crack that had just appeared in the Golden Spider Princess was instantly severed by lightning.

"I'm here to help you!"

The old monk, shameless as ever, joined in when Lü Dongbin unleashed his most powerful sword strike, determined to make it a fatal blow. Without hesitation, he channeled his magic power, and a golden light instantly enveloped the longsword.

Suddenly the lightning bolt became much thicker.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also shouted: "At this very moment!"

He sat cross-legged, muttering to himself.

A red light suddenly shot up from between his clasped hands, carrying the power of true fire, and also attached itself to the longsword.

The lightning summoned by the longsword turned three colors and became even thicker.

It's like it's tearing the sky of the world apart.

Tieguai Li hesitated for only a moment, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "I'll lend you a hand too!" With a wave of his hand, a beam of green light shot up and attached itself to the longsword.

The sky seemed unable to withstand such pressure, and the lightning struck down almost vertically from the heavens.

Lightning bolts of four colors—white, gold, red, and blue—sweeped towards the Golden Spider Princess with deafening thunder.

Golden Spider Princess was terrified. She feared she couldn't withstand such power and turned to run away.

The people within a radius of hundreds of miles around Jiangning City were stunned.

The sudden change in the sky filled everyone with panic and unease.

On a beautifully decorated painted boat on the Qinhuai River.

White Peony knelt on the deck, her whole body trembling.

Firstly, the oppressive power of the Heavenly Dao and the immense strength of its magic made her tremble with fear. Moreover, as a demon, she was inherently afraid of heavenly lightning.

Secondly, she wanted to pray to the heavens to protect her king, Golden Spider Princess, from being killed by those hypocritical immortals.

Bai Mudan muttered to herself as tears streamed down her face.

Regardless of whether the immortals and Buddhas he prayed to were in cahoots with those four immortals and Buddhas, or whether they would actually protect him, he was desperate and would try anything. He could only secretly wish in his heart that a peerless hero would appear to uphold justice.

Her figure appeared vast and tiny against the ever-lowering clouds.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of a tavern in Jiangning City, by the window, a woman in a gauze dress held a wine cup, with a long sword on the table. Her eyes were slightly furrowed as she looked at the sky.

"How strange! Four colors of lightning and thunder."

Everyone in the tavern stared blankly at the sky like idiots.

If someone with a weaker mind were to watch for too long, they might suffer mental and physical damage from the four-colored lightning and thunder.

"Don't look, don't look! Everyone hide! Those with cellars, go down into them!"

The woman suddenly shouted loudly.

The people in the restaurant and the pedestrians on the street looked at the woman who suddenly stood up and shouted. They saw her slam a silver ingot on the table with a "smack," and then she rose into the air. After a brief pause in the sky, she disappeared with a "whoosh."

Reed marshes, beneath the clouds.

The four of them exerted all their strength, determined to suppress the Golden Spider Queen here.

They couldn't care less about anything else.

The seemingly world-destroying lightning bolt hung above the Golden Spider Princess's head, held back by her full strength. In this battle of brute force, the Two Elements Jade Maiden Sword Technique was rendered useless.

Therefore, she would suffer a great loss if she tried to resist the magical power of the four great immortals and Buddhas all by herself.

But there's no way around it. It's like when martial arts practitioners are fighting, they've put their inner strength to the test, and they can't just stop whenever they want.

If either side withdraws its strength, it will suffer a backlash.
