No wonder Zhou Peng and the others, despite constantly dodging and hiding, had been living more and more comfortably, with Zhou Peng even successfully breaking through to the Eightfold Heaven Realm.
However, why did Gu Han and the others cause internal strife within Pure Yang Palace?
Wen Zhaoqian’s mories were incomplete, so Lei Jun had no way of knowing for the ti being.
After settling Kang Ming, who was still unconscious and needed to recuperate, Lei Jun surfaced from the water and scanned the area between Jiu Fang Island and Green Stone Island.
Looking towards Jiu Fang Island, the fierce battle scene from before was gone, though the outco remained unknown. At least the Yellow Sky Altar had been broken.
Lei Jun contacted his senior martial sister, Xu Yuanzhen, while also looking in the direction of Green Stone Island.
Green Stone Island itself was now almost completely subrged by the sea, barely resembling the island it once was.
Farther off, lights seed to be moving, indicating that the battle was still ongoing—albeit with one side fleeing and the other pursuing.
There was no response from Xu Yuanzhen yet, so Lei Jun decided to pursue Zhou Peng and the others who had fled towards Green Stone Island.
At the horizon, where sea t sky, Zhou Peng’s maneuvers as a Taoist Dan Ding Sect expert were surprisingly inconspicuous, regardless of his own side’s situation.
Instead, a ball of verdant green flas tumbled and ascended ceaselessly at the horizon.
One could tell at a glance that it was the Nine Abyss True Fire, a direct teaching from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Besides the Celestial Master Mansion cultivators, the Yellow Sky Sect also possessed Fire Dharma Earth Script Talismans.
Lei Jun caught up and saw a mountain-sized verdant green tiger, extrely conspicuous even on the vast sea. It was the Nine Abyss Fla Ancestral Dharma, also known as the Yin Fire Tiger.
The one riding the Yin Fire Tiger was Qi Shuo, the Yellow Sky Sect Elder who had not appeared during the earlier attack on Green Stone Island.
With the loss of the Yellow Sky Altar, the Yellow Sky Sect currently only had such Upper Three Heavens cultivators who could still maintain their fighting strength.
The others would all be remotely influenced by the Altar of Wanfa Sect at the Dragon Tiger Mountain Ancestral Court.
Qi Shuo, riding the Yin Fire Tiger, caused the surrounding seawater to surge into towering waves, providing cover for the two surviving Yellow Sky Sect Elders as they retreated.
The soldiers of the Great Tang Divine Strategy Army besieging them only had Middle Three Heavens cultivation, and they could barely delay the breakout led by Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo did not wish to delay any further and only sought to break out quickly with his people, lest other powerful masters arrived.
Unfortunately, whatever one fears tends to happen.
Directly opposite the Yin Fire Tiger, a towering Destiny Star God stood on the waves like a celestial being descending to earth, striding forward rapidly—it was Lei Jun!
He marched across the waves, his imposing aura and power parting the expanse of water before him.
With each step, his montum grew more intense.
The Circle Stars Array Fight, which had evolved from the Star-stepping Spell, further accelerated Lei Jun’s speed and strength.
Oblivious to the vast sea of verdant green fire surrounding the opposing Yin Fire Tiger, Lei Jun charged straight through it.
As green flas attacked, they were blocked by the Talismans swirling around the Destiny Star God like a constellation.
Although so Talismans were incinerated in the process, their numbers only grew, becoming more nurous and dense.
Without exchanging a word upon approach, Lei Jun directly aid a punch at the verdant green Yin Fire Tiger.
However, at that mont, starlight also flickered around the Yin Fire Tiger.
One of Qi Shuo’s Lifebound Skills from the Middle Three Heavens was also the Star-stepping Spell, which, after he ascended to the Upper Three Heavens, had also evolved into the Circle Stars Array Fight.
With the boost from the Circle Stars Array Fight, the massive Verdant Green Fire Tiger’s speed and strength significantly increased.
That was not all; beneath the four paws of the giant fire tiger, golden-red hurricanes appeared, combining wind and fire.
The mountainous fire tiger, unexpectedly swift and fierce at this mont, rapidly shifted position, actually dodging the punch from Lei Jun’s Destiny Star God.
The Verdant Green Fire Tiger quickly moved to the Destiny Star God’s diagonal rear and simultaneously opened its mouth to roar.
The giant figure manifested by Lei Jun, wreathed in a Star River, was equally swift in dodging.
But in a flash, he sensed sothing amiss nearby.
Dragons and tigers composed of fierce red flas lurked nearby, taking the opportunity to harass Lei Jun.
These dragons and tigers were not controlled by anyone else but were driven by Qi Shuo.
The Dragon-Tiger Dual Spirits were also a direct teaching from Dragon Tiger Mountain and were very popular among Talisman Sect cultivators, chosen by many as their Lifebound Skill.
Qi Shuo had done the sa.
The Wind Tiger and Cloud Dragon had now transford into a crimson Fire Tiger and Fire Dragon, a sublimation resulting from his cultivation reaching the Upper Three Heavens.
Lei Jun’s Destiny Star God swept towards the Fire Dragon and Fire Tiger.
But as his movent paused slightly, the even more ferocious Verdant Green Yin Fire Tiger charged at him again.
Lei Jun remained fearless, eting attack with attack, trading blows head-on with his opponent.
The Destiny Star God excelled in close combat, yet Qi Shuo’s Yin Fire Tiger seed to suffer little damage.
Around the massive tiger’s body, besides the encircling starlight and buffeting golden-red hurricanes, golden light also ford an imposing Bastion Town, helping Qi Shuo withstand Lei Jun’s attacks.
After exchanging a few blows, Lei Jun understood his opponent’s fighting style.
Qi Shuo’s Life-Bound Magic Arts included the Golden City Talisman evolved from the Golden Barrier Talisman, the Burning Wheel Talisman evolved from the Wind Riding Talisman, the Circle Stars Array Fight evolved from the Star-stepping Spell, and the Dragon and Tiger Dual Fla Talismans evolved from the Dragon-Tiger Dual Spirits.
In combat, the Yin Fire Tiger led the main assault, while the Fire Dragon and Fire Tiger provided supplentary attacks from the sides.
The Golden City Talisman provided defense, the Burning Wheel Talisman aided movent, and the Circle Stars Array Fight comprehensively boosted his attack, defense, and mobility—all three stacking to great effect.
Qi Shuo had a lifeti of combat experience and was exceptionally strong for his realm, having once used his Yin Fire Tiger to battle Li Ziyang’s Yang Thunder Dragon.
But now, facing Lei Jun, who was a re fraction of his age, he felt even greater pressure.
Without his protection, the two Yellow Sky Sect Elders of the Middle Three Heavens were quickly overtaken by the soldiers of the Great Tang Divine Strategy Army.
Qi Shuo, in his Yin Fire Tiger incarnation, let out a low grunt and suddenly opened his mouth.
Inside its maw, a cattail-leaf fan appeared.
It was the Nine Abyss Pill Fire Fan, a Magical Treasure Qi Shuo himself had painstakingly refined.
