Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 433 210 Escape
Intense silver light shimmered, transforming into starlight capable of annihilating mana, wreaking havoc on the body of the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird and causing him to suffer injury for the first time.
His anger reached a fever pitch, his handsome face twisted with ferocity, and his two golden eyes blazed with an intense murderous intent. It had been a very long time since he had felt such pain in his body.
"Good, very good. It's been a long time since I've experienced this feeling. Once I break through this damnable divine skill, I will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces," the Dapeng said ferociously.
His appearance was now frenzied and fierce, in stark contrast to the previous handsome image. At this moment, he was the true embodiment of a Demon King.
Liu Qingyun maintained a stern expression, not wanting to engage with the Dapeng. He thrust his Silver Spear continuously, each move aimed at his opponent's face, as a myriad of silver spear shadows blossomed in the sky like a blooming Bai Lian.
Having lost his advantage in speed, the Dapeng had no choice but to bring out his own weapon to defend. Although he was not as battle-hardened as Liu Qingyun, who had charged out from an army of thousands, his martial prowess was also exceptional.
Thus, the situation bizarrely stalemated, as if neither side could gain the upper hand over the other.
However, the Dapeng seemed to forget one thing: Liu Qingyun was not fighting alone. Xiao Qi took advantage of the opportunity to injure the Green Lion and leapt out of the battle circle to assist his senior brother.
This increased the pressure on the Dapeng enormously. He was clearly more powerful than Liu Qingyun and Xiao Qi, but because of the influence of some mysterious divine skill, he was hampered and could only take hits passively, his frustration indescribable.
But the Liu brothers didn't care about that. Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of your enemy's ailment, their attacks became more intense, targeting the Dapeng's weak points specifically.
Seeing this, the Dapeng knew that continuing to tangle with the two would yield no advantage. Without solving the divine skill, they would be unable to harm the brothers and could only take hits passively. Defending for too long would surely lead to defeat—this was an immutable truth of the Three Realms.
Thinking this, the Dapeng no longer lingered in battle. He dodged their attacks, reverted to his true form, and rose into the sky as a Golden Winged Peng Bird. His golden wings sliced through the heavens, and his sharp talons carried the nearly unconscious Green Lion.
Looking back, the Dapeng saw the blue light barrier that enveloped the area, knowing that it was likely the extent of the mysterious figure's divine skills. Had it not been for his swift escape, he would probably have perished within that place eventually.
"Third Brother, what should we do now? We don't know who this behind-the-scenes person is, but their methods are indeed strange," the Green Lion said softly.
"First, let's rendezvous with the Second Brother. He has the Holy Elephant Bloodline and knows more about this world than we do. Once you've healed, we'll gather some help and find a way to deal with them," the Dapeng said bitterly. Today's battle had been a humiliation for his proud self, a blemish that he felt could only be cleansed with blood.
Atop the mountain summit, Lu Yu sighed lightly as he watched the Dapeng and the Green Lion escape, saying, "After all, I've just begun to master it; they escaped the range with their extreme speed."
The opportunity just now was actually quite good, and if Lu Yu had finished, they definitely could have been kept behind. However, this doesn't really matter, after all, behind them are tied to great figures of Buddhism, especially the Golden Winged Great Peng and the Tathagata, who have a profound cause and effect. It's destined that he can't kill them, and being able to dampen their sharpness, Lu Yu is already very satisfied.
He reached out his hand, and the Treasure Vase hanging in the sky slowly descended into his palm, while Little White Elephant at his feet let out an excited cry, which, if listened to carefully, sounded very much like the noise in everyone's ears.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingyun, who was on the battlefield, looked at the departing Golden Winged Peng and suddenly sat down on the ground, the great battle had also drained most of his physical strength. Although he had previously displayed a momentum like a rainbow, as if he was about to execute the Demon, he knew very well that if he had persisted, his mana and strength would have been exhausted.
Little Xiao Qi felt similarly, an unprecedented sense of weakness swept through his entire body. He said with some regret, "It's a pity we couldn't keep even one."
However, Liu Qingyun just shook his head with a smile and said, "That must be the Golden Winged Great Peng from the legends, it's too difficult to hold onto someone with the extreme speed of the human world."
At this moment, the two brothers had just gone through a life-or-death battle, experienced the helplessness of death looming over them. Between life and death there is great terror, but also great opportunity.
Through this rare experience, both of them gained more subtle control over their own spirits, and were truly able to achieve purity and innocence. This kind of gain was precious and had a very clear effect on their future path of cultivation, which was also why their strength improved noticeably during later battles.
But even with all these benefits, if they were given the choice, they would not choose to go through it again. That deepest despair and the fear etched into their bones were just too unbearable.

"It must be him, no wonder I felt fear in my body. Legend has it that he once broke into our Dragon Clan in ancient times, countless young dragons were tragically killed by him, and he ate them as snacks. But I heard he was subdued by Mount Ling, I don't know why he would appear here," Xiao Qi mused to himself.
"That Green Lion is not simple either. His Lion's Roar of Buddhism is very authentic and does not seem stolen. It's just a pity that he is blinded by the desire to kill and the resentment of the Human Path, unable to unleash the true power of this Divine Skill. Otherwise, we would have been dead and gone to the Yellow Springs by now. However, why would such figures also come here unless there is some great secret?" Liu Qingyun was puzzled.
Even though the Holy Elephant was powerful, after all, it has fallen for many years, and this is its tomb, and it didn't have the custom of burials, so naturally it should be empty here, leaving only Essence Blood and White Skeleton remains. Although these are precious, they're not much for Demon Kings like Green Lion and Dapeng. Why would they come here, if not to eat people?
As the two were in doubt, the White Elephant flying in the sky encountered the Green Lion and the Dapeng. Upon seeing them, Bai Xiang gasped in surprise and said, "How long has it been, and Big Brother has turned into this state?"
No wonder Bai Xiang was surprised; the Green Lion indeed looked quite embarrassed. The Battle Armor on his body had already been shattered into pieces, and there were bloodstains all over him, especially his face which was bloody and blurred, and one eye was blind. The three of them had known each other for many years, and this was the first time Bai Xiang had ever seen the Green Lion in such a state.
Looking at Dapeng, although there were no injuries, he was also disheveled and drenched in sweat, like a woman who had been trampled upon. It is known that among the three, he is the one who loves to dress up the most, always meticulous and having the air of a king. Now to be reduced to this state, it can be imagined that the battle must have turned against him.
"Don't mention it, ran into a couple of tough nuts, almost didn't make it out," said Green Lion, opening his one good eye, seemingly disheartened.
"You and Third Brother together couldn't manage?" Bai Xiang asked in confusion.
