Chapter 236: The Taoist Priest in Danger, The Battle Between the Buddhist and Taoist Disciples, The Wrath of the Disaster Dragon, The Inverted Half-Move, Freedom in the Heavens._4
The azure spear momentum split in two, directly shattering both their Dharma Seals and Sword Qi, its force undiminished as it swatted the Daoist and the Buddhist into the mountain beneath like swatting a fly.
A clear and bright poetic shout came through~
"As I advance or retreat, like a tempest swift, I look down upon the world where talents drift."
"Though the calamitous dragon aims to rule the skies, my spear challenges the world, shaming all heroes it defies."
Once the poetry ceased, the figure stopped.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the calamitous dragon wore a delighted expression. Luckily, he had arrived in time. From afar, he heard the sounds of a magical duel, thinking it to still be heating up, the Daoist and the Buddhist had not yet made their move.
Better timely than early, this situation suited him just fine.
"My dear, my luck isn't too bad, eh?" The calamitous dragon whispered softly to the skull behind him, then called out loudly: Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"Huo Long of the Eastern Continent's Wuding Divine Sect, the first true disciple, greets you. I wish to discuss the Way with the Daoist and the Buddhist, to advance shoulder to shoulder. Please, show yourselves for a battle."
"No need to warm up any longer, Brother Shen Hui of the Dao, Brother Zhang Daoyi of the Dao, quickly show yourselves and discuss the Way with Huo Long."
"Ten days ago, Huo Long happened to meet Yi Chengzi, ranked fifth on the Dragon and Tiger List. I lost by half a move and realized that the Central Continent truly conceals dragons and crouching tigers. Dao brothers, show yourselves."
"Huo Long has had another breakthrough in cultivation recently. I seek not victory in this journey, but only a battle, to test all that I have learned in life."
Amidst the sudden turn of events, the spectators were dumbstruck, each looking as if turned to wood.
The two True Monarchs leading the Dao Sect and the Buddhist Sect also had dark expressions, as though they could wring out water. They had not anticipated that someone would disrupt such a critical battle, causing such an unexpected incident due to their carelessness.
"What are you all looking at me for?"
"Huo Long of the Eastern Continent's Wuding Divine Sect, the first true disciple, greets you. I wish to discuss the Way with the Daoist and the Buddhist, to advance shoulder to shoulder. Please, show yourselves for a battle."
"Could it be that the Daoist and the Buddhist think too little of Huo Long's cultivation level to deem me worthy of a fight?"
Huo Long, who had not yet received a response, grew somewhat angry. The experts of the Central Continent were indeed too arrogant, too disrespectful.
"Enough! If it weren't for the imminent tripartite union of the three realms, for Wu Ding's sake as True Monarch, I would not let this go."
"Huo Long, those you sent flying were Shen Hui and Zhang Daoyi. Are you satisfied now?"
A silver-haired Daoist and a white-browed old monk suddenly appeared before Huo Long.
"You... You're tricking me, right? How could Yi Chengzi, with such cultivation, rank only fifth? The two men earlier were decent, but how could they overpower Yi Chengzi?"
"How can the Dragon and Tiger List of the Central Continent be convincing?"
Huo Long suddenly roared in anger, for a moment like a little lover deceived by a scoundrel.
His words fell like a thunderclap, silencing the surrounding spectators once more.
"Those two just looked similar to the Daoist and the Buddhist from the Dragon and Tiger List, you're tricking me, aren't you?"
"Scram!" The silver-haired Daoist and the white-browed old monk could take it no longer and simultaneously bellowed, striking Huo Long and causing a thread of blood to seep from his mouth as they sent him soaring into the sky.
A wise man does not eat the loss before him—Huo Long glared back resentfully before vanishing into the horizon.

"Yi Chengzi, stop your resistance. The poor monk has nearly reached the mid-stage of entering the Way, and you truly stand no chance. If you surrender and disperse your power, I can arrange for you to meditate in our temple."
"You are now within the power of my Spirit Realm of the Tathagata, and even shifting treasures will be of no use to you. Why persist in this stubbornness?"
Slayer of Evil, Jue Xin, looked at Yi Chen, blood oozing from his seven orifices, and couldn't help but frown as he advised, while also feeling immensely shocked by Yi Chen's power.
The rumors had not exaggerated; if anything, they had underestimated this man.
"Thank you for the kind offer, monk."
Yi Chen stood up once more, his expression growing even more frenzied, a cunning look flashing in his eyes. He suddenly bellowed, "Tyrannical True Martial Halberd Technique, Fifth Form, Samsara・Devour Heaven and Earth."
An endless sense of destruction emerged, and a golden token, gifted by an Envoy of the Wind from Heaven, appeared in his hand.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of the Strength-Breaking Realm, combined with the move Samsara・Devour Heaven and Earth, space itself shattered like glass for a moment.
Jue Xin's expression changed drastically in an instant.
