Dongfang Bái
On the other side, a golden platform flew quickly at low altitude, and on it stood a Daoist with a sallow complexion. He used his sword as a crutch to support his body, and under his feet was a mass of congealed black blood. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he was severely injured.
However, this Taoist's willpower was quite stubborn, and even so, he still input spiritual energy into the platform, supporting its high-speed flight.
Bai Di and Ye Xiao Xin blended into the crowd, connecting with others to gather intelligence on Mo Xiu.
"It seems that our side has the least number of pursuers, but the strength of that Taoist is also the weakest. Let's wait for a moment and take advantage of the opportunity to leave and meet up with Feng Wu in the small town!" Bai Di whispered to Ye Xiao Xing after exchanging whispers with Feng Wu.
Although this Taoist is the weakest, his escape ability is not bad. From what can be seen now, his speed is the fastest among the five cultivators, and the demonic cultivators behind him are basically shaken off by him.
Suddenly, the Taoist spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face was waxen yellow with a hint of pale sickness, apparently he could no longer suppress his injuries. After all, more than ten magic cultivators with similar cultivation to him attacked him at the same time before, leaving him severely injured, and being able to hold on until now was already quite impressive.
At this time he glanced at the ground, and immediately controlled the platform to quickly fall into the dense forest. Then he hurriedly took out a brown dan medicine from his storage bag and swallowed it down.
He stood still for a minute, and white steam suddenly emerged from the top of his head. His face turned slightly redder after a while. He took a deep breath, then immediately opened his eyes and turned to everyone: "Follow me, those evil demons have many tracking spells, we haven't completely escaped danger yet!"
The platform flies extremely fast, but it also consumes spiritual energy greatly, so the Taoist doesn't plan to continue using it. Moreover, with the platform flying in mid-air, the target is too obvious.
What is called a dense forest is actually a beech tree forest. However, it's only May now and still some time before autumn, so the leaves are all green.
The Taoist led a dozen or so ordinary people, quickly shuttling through the maple forest. He also kindly used the Clear Wind Spell to reduce their weight for each of them, so they wouldn't fall behind due to physical differences.
After running continuously for an hour, many ordinary people would start panting heavily. If it weren't for the Clear Wind Spell, they would have collapsed long ago.
"Alright, let's take a break!"
The Taoist looked at those frail mortals with a glance and then sat down on one side to meditate and heal their wounds.
Ye Xiaoxin immediately looked at Bai Di and whispered: "Should we leave?"
"No way, that Taoist priest is actually more vigilant than before while he's recovering from his injuries. If we make a move, we'll be discovered immediately." The White Emperor glanced at the Taoist priest and shook his head.
In fact, Daoist is now indeed operating the work of healing injuries on one side and being vigilant about the surroundings, as long as there is a slight wind blowing grass, he will become alert.
If Bai Di and Ye Xiaoxin sneak away at this time, they will definitely be suspected of being spies for the Demon Sect!
At this time, a distant and desolate flute sound suddenly came, everyone was stunned, and the Taoist priest even opened his eyes directly, looking in the direction of the sound.
"Let's go this way, Dao Zhang!"
A scholar-dressed man saw the Taoist priest wanting to go and investigate, pointing to the other side, speaking in a weak tone.
The Taoist shook his head and said confidently, "This flute sound carries a noble and elegant atmosphere of missing friends. Evil demons and heretics are all madmen who have lost their hearts, even if they can disguise themselves as orthodox people, but that flute sound cannot be disguised. The person playing the flute should not be an evil person."
He finished speaking and immediately walked towards the source of the sound, everyone heard him say so surely, and could only follow up. After walking out of the maple forest, everyone was stunned, unexpectedly finding a beautiful lake in this desolate mountain wilderness.
The lake's water is crystal clear, reflecting the sky like a mirror.
In the center of the lake, a small boat was moored, and on it sat a man in white clothes, who was now closing his eyes to play the flute.
The Taoist stood by the lake and didn't disturb the other party, everyone was quietly listening.
"The blue sea laughs, the waves surge on both shores, floating and sinking with the tide, recording this morning. The vast sky laughs, the world's tides are numerous, who loses or wins is known to heaven. The rivers and mountains laugh, smoke and rain afar, how many worldly affairs have been washed away by the waves? The clear wind laughs, yet stirs up silence, heroic sentiments still remain in the evening glow. The blue-robed man puts down his flute, slowly opens his mouth to sing..."
The Taoist suddenly retreated two steps back, his face gradually turned pale, as if he had heard the identity of the white-clad man in front of him from the song.
"It's actually him!!" The Taoist priest muttered to himself, his hand slightly trembling.
The man in white slowly stood up, turned around and faced the Taoist priest, smiling: "Little devil of Mount Heng's sect, didn't expect you could still recognize me."
"I didn't expect you, this demon head, to get involved too!" The Taoist's forehead was getting sweatier and sweatier.
The man in white robes slightly shook his head and said, "Not right, it's just that you have bad luck. I've been here for three days now, and this place is still quite likable to me. Unfortunately...it's about to be stained with blood."
"Hurry and leave, I'll hold him back here!" The Taoist said solemnly, his heart already prepared to die.
The next moment he suddenly flew up, a green long sword appeared in his hand, the sword suddenly burst into light, and suddenly transformed into three giant sword silhouettes, quickly slashing towards the white-clothed man.
"At first, Mo Xun, who created the Hengshan Jiushen Sword, was indeed formidable and had exceptional talent. Unfortunately, this extraordinary sword technique has fallen into your hands, but it's like a child playing with a toy gun - impressive at first glance, but useless in actual combat!" The white-clad man said calmly as he watched the giant sword slash towards him.
He slowly stretched out his right hand, and then snapped his middle finger. In an instant, the three giant sword silhouettes vanished into thin air. The next moment, the Taoist spat out a mouthful of blood and fell directly into the lake, stirring up a ripple.
Everyone ran out for about ten meters at this time and was shocked by what they saw.
One move was enough to defeat the Taoist priest, just how strong is this man in white?
"You'd better stop, otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences."
The man in white clothes said lightly at this time, his eyes fixed on the people running forward, exuding a sense of superiority.
Everyone suddenly felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders, and as soon as they moved slightly, this pressure would crush their body.
"It seems things have become troublesome......" The White Emperor's forehead slightly sweated as he said in a low voice.
Just by aura alone, Bai Di could sense that the white-robed man's strength was absolutely more powerful than Qin Shi Huang!
Many ordinary people's legs went limp and they collapsed on the ground, their faces as pale as possible.
The small boat drifted slowly towards the shore, and the man in white clothes looked at everyone with a faint smile: "Righteous path, evil path, both are actually paths of the Great Way. Why must one necessarily join the righteous path? Join my Cult of Gods, and you can also achieve immortality!"
His voice seemed to have infinite magic power, and many ordinary people gradually walked towards him, finally kneeling down in front of him.
"Get out of here, Dongfang Bai! Just because you're the leader of the Day and Night Devil Cult doesn't mean you can turn right and wrong upside down. Right is right, evil is evil. No matter how eloquent your words are, they can't cover up the evil nature of the demonic cult!!" Suddenly, the lake water burst open, and the Taoist let out an angry roar.
The next moment he suddenly flew into the air, his long sword transformed into a virtual shadow slashing towards the man in white.
The White Emperor and Ye Xiaoxin were both shocked in their hearts. The white-clothed man in front of them was actually the leader of the Day and Night Demon Sect!
The Eastern White didn't even turn back, and said calmly: "Righteousness and evil are originally interdependent existences, thinking there's a distinction is just because your realm isn't high enough."
The next moment, the giant sword's shadow burst violently, and a stream of invisible aura instantly struck the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest's body twisted eerily, then turned into a bloody mist.
"When you reach the point where everyone is an ant, there's no need to distinguish between good and evil. What I think is right is right, what I think is evil is evil. Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!" Dongfang Baidan said calmly, as the Daoist's remains fell into the water, staining the lake red.
The White Emperor laughed loudly: "Your Excellency is so powerful, it's hard for us ordinary people, don't you think it's beneath your dignity?"
"Am I losing face? In this world, everyone is weaker than me. Can't I even kill one?" Dongfang Bai said calmly.
The antelope is weaker than the lion; does it follow that the lion cannot kill the antelope?
In fact, the truth of nature is just the opposite, the weak will only be bullied, and the antelope can only be the lion's food!
"It seems we can only have one battle between us." The White Emperor said with a solemn tone.
He was well aware that if he used a transmission symbol, it was highly likely that he would be killed the moment he left, and perhaps only had a chance to escape during battle.
"Wait until I engage him in battle, then you look for an opportunity to use the teleportation talisman!" The White Emperor whispered to Ye Xiaoxin, speaking in a low voice.
Ye Xiao Xin looked at Bai Di with concern, she could feel that Bai Di's nerves were already stretched taut, it was clear that Dong Fang Bai was extremely powerful, and even he didn't have the confidence to deal with him.
"Oh... a duel?" Dongfang Bai held the flute in his left hand, lightly tapping it with his right hand, and smiled at Emperor White with great interest.
He couldn't feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy on the White Emperor's body. Given his level of cultivation, it was impossible that he couldn't sense it. Therefore, there could only be one explanation - the White Emperor was just an ordinary person.
A mere mortal dares to boast of fighting him, this feeling is like an ant declaring war on an elephant, ridiculous, pathetic, and overestimating one's own strength!
However, Bai Di was not joking around. He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Dongfang Bai at this moment, and that was when he wasn't even serious yet. If Dongfang Bai were to enter a state of combat, it would likely be even more frightening.
But now he has no choice but to fight back, otherwise he might end up like those ordinary people kneeling on the ground and get brainwashed.
"What a misfortune! It seems that it's impossible to end well!" The sweat on the White Emperor's forehead dripped onto the ground, and in the next moment his body became blurry.
Dongfang Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he found that countless illusory images of White Emperor appeared in all directions.
"Mirrored, Heaven and Earth Net!" The White Emperor's voice rang out, and in the next instant all the illusions raised their hands together.
The Eastern White felt a sense of danger, but it was very slight. He smiled faintly and a white silk ribbon suddenly appeared, protecting him by his side.
The shadow shot out rays of light at this time, instantly forming a large net to cover it!
"Wǔ yuè xiāo, quē zhī wǔ!" Dōng fāng bái dàn dàn de shuō le, wéi rào zài tā shēn biān de bái sè xiāo dài rù rán fā guāng, shùn jiān xíng chéng yī gè yuè yá xíng de hù zhào.
The light fell down and had no effect on the Eastern White, but when it landed on the small boat, in an instant, the small boat was cut into countless pieces.
"Who are you?" Dongfang Bai floated on the surface of the water, gazing at the surrounding illusions, and asked faintly.
The White Emperor furrowed his brow and said, "Just a nameless small soldier who wants to live on but doesn't want to be controlled."
"The cultivation method you're practicing has piqued my interest, so... you can only stay behind!" Dongfang Bai said softly.
Not a single bit of spiritual energy, yet able to launch a strong attack, this was enough to pique his interest.
"Is it? But who will be left behind is still hard to say!" The White Emperor sneered.
In an instant, white substances quickly appeared around and rapidly assembled together to form a square shape, trapping Dongfang Bai directly.
Dongfangbai looked around and found herself surrounded by mirrors everywhere.
"What an interesting spell!"
Dongfang Bai smiled slightly and did not make a move, instead waiting for Bai Di to attack.
