Chapter 1255: Chapter 14: The Immortal City Changes Hands (Part 2)

As for the current Great Elder of the E Mountain Sect, it’s only necessary to confine him here so he cannot interfere anymore.

At this moment, on the other side, Jiang Daoist was unaware that the one pursuing him was merely a Nascent Soul Avatar, still blaming Yong Fu for failing to stop this person.

Earlier, he received a secret medicine named "Han Ze Pill" from Yong Fu, which allows a cultivator to recover after taking it with just a brief casting of a spell, but the yellow smoke pursued him closely, leaving no opportunity to consume and refine the pill.

Unknowingly, he had flown for nearly an hour, realizing it wouldn’t be long before his opponent caught up. He thought to himself, "Daoist Yong failed to stop this person earlier for unknown reasons, but he can assist me three times. So, let me turn back and ask for help again; if it succeeds this time, there will still be some hope for victory."

With this thought, he adjusted the tunneling light and flew in circles back.

Zhang Boyant was fully aware of Jiang Daoist’s movements, sensing he was coming toward him, and let out a sinister smile.

Before long, a tunneling light appeared in the northern visual field. He focused his gaze, noticing its momentum had diminished significantly, clearly due to excessive mana consumption.

This moment was the perfect time to strike, hence without hesitation, he stretched his body, left Yong Fu behind, and flew away as yellow smoke.

Jiang Daoist suddenly saw countless black smoke spreading ahead and noticed something amiss, hesitating for a while at a distance, he decided not to move forward and turned his tunneling light, intending to escape.

However, in that instant, Zhang Boyant had caught up, rising to the heavenly vault, waved his large sleeve downward, and instantly the sky darkened, black cloud demon mist surged, obscuring the sky within several miles.

Suddenly, all around became pitch black, unable to see anything, Jiang Daoist’s heart sank, knowing he had fallen into the opponent’s calculations.

Due to caution, he didn’t dare to charge recklessly but instead paused his form, rapidly forming the spell, first summoning the protective treasure light, and quickly bringing out a treasure umbrella, grabbed the handle, and held it up with the other hand. With the umbrella opened wide, the spell was quickly activated, revealing countless talismans flowing, vaguely showing a three-legged golden bird flying inside, with numerous golden fires moving along its wings, drifting down in clumps and breaking open the demon smoke into holes in the sky.

This item named "Little Golden Crow Umbrella" was also borrowed from Yong Fu.

The immortal city stood on Divine House Mountain for thousands of years, possessing many powerful Dharma treasures that only the master of the immortal city could wield. The two, for this duel, practically brought out all the notable Dharma treasures from the immortal city.

Zhang Boyant chuckled lowly, Jiang Daoist at this moment appeared impressive but was actually on the verge of defeat. He originally excelled at flying, but now stopped to fight him, which would only make him lose faster. With a wave of his hand, bright glows flashed behind him, sword, ring, spike, and shield—four Dharma treasures flew up simultaneously and spiraled downward.

Jiang Daoist panicked, having been unable to fend off the combined attack from these four Dharma treasures earlier, he struggled to escape and upon seeing this scene again, he disregarded potential damage to the treasure, hurriedly propped up the "Golden Crow Umbrella" with his hand.

But as those four Dharma treasures were about to crash onto the umbrella, Zhang Boyant gave an eerie smile, hooked his finger, and the four treasures suddenly split outward, bypassing the treasure umbrella, attacking from four directions.

If not for self-conscious mystical artifacts, ordinary cultivators can control at most two or three pieces, but these four were merely high-grade spiritual devices yet seemed to possess spiritual wisdom in Zhang Boyant’s hands. Thus, the sudden change left Jiang Daoist unable to respond, and in no time, the protective treasure light was shattered.

But when the four treasures went further, Jiang Daoist roared angrily, forcefully exerting mana, his robe projecting rainbow light about a yard long, actually pushing the four treasures to stay outside.

Zhang Boyant sneered, gently forming the spell, and from the Gang Cloud flew out a banner, which he caught and shook. Then countless thin, dry black hands extended from the black mist, like black chains, circling again and again, tightly trapping him.

After a moment, the rainbow light on Jiang Daoist’s robe gradually dimmed, showing his mana was about to be depleted.

Zhang Boyant at this point needed only a little more effort to burn him to death, his essence blood entirely becoming his own.

However, this tempting thought circulated in his mind a few times before he eventually gave up.

Simply defeating him will count as victory in this duel, witnessed by all sect leaders at Divine House Mountain. Then Zhang Yan will be able to smoothly ascend as the immortal city’s master.

Should the opponent die, it could instead add many unpredictable variables, which would not be worth the risk.

In the demon mist, there was a sudden stir, then a light shadow broke through, it was Yong Fu without any suppression, rushing out.

Up in the air, seeing the scene before him, a mysterious melancholy arose in his heart, and he sighed deeply, gradually approaching, stopping thirty yards away when he witnessed the four Dharma treasures hovering in the air, blocking the front, he stepped no further forward, bowed to Zhang Boyant, and said, "I implore Daoist Zhang to release Daoist Jiang, Yong admits defeat."

Perhaps someone else might think the situation was settled, but Zhang Boyant was extremely cunning; earlier, Daoist Yong had claimed he could assist Daoist Jiang three times in a critical juncture, that deceptive speech naturally counted among them, so he was completely unmoved.

He shook the banner, bringing Jiang Daoist in front of him, with a malicious grin, "I want you to say it yourself, do you concede defeat?"

Yong Fu saw he showed no flaws, feeling an impulse to take out a Dharma treasure and fight, but feared harming Jiang Daoist’s life while having no guarantee, ultimately had to give up.

Jiang Daoist saw Zhang Boyant’s vicious expression and shivered involuntarily, saying, "I—I am willing to concede defeat."

As these words came out, Yong Fu showed a despondent expression, bowed, and said, "Daoist Zhang, this third round is your win, the immortal city master position, Yong is willing to surrender."
