Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 913 - 498: Great Battle_2

Zhang Junwei even invited the sect’s ancestral elder, showing the importance of this battle.

In the blink of an eye, Su Jie’s side, besides eight Taoist Platform Realm cultivators, had the assistance of two ghosts and two insects, instantly overwhelming the righteous cultivators in terms of numbers and combat power.

"Ee ya! Ee ya ya!"

The annual ring worm lifted its plump upper body, making a sound.

"Zz, zz zz!"

The thousand-hand centipede responded enthusiastically, communicating with the annual ring worm.

No one knew what the thousand-hand centipede said, but the annual ring worm lazily crawled out of the ice silkworm silk nest, its plump body moving slowly like a lazy fat house cat. Its sesame-sized eyes focused on the eight strong Taoist Platform Realm cultivators of the righteous path and opened its small mouth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Sect Master from Qingzhou Dragon Roar Palace, a Taoist Platform Realm Third Level expert, Duan Hui, had countless spirit talismans and magical treasures’ spiritual light on him suddenly flare up, only to shatter instantly.

His body underwent horrifying changes. His skin resembled old tree bark, and annual ring markings emerged on his scalp, spreading all over his body, as his skin began to peel off layer by layer.

Underneath each layer of peeling skin revealed not blood-drenched muscle fibers but rather newer, tender skin.

His body caved in layer by layer, becoming smaller, as if turning back time from middle-aged to youth, teenager, and finally a child. His strength regressed along with it, dropping step by step from the Taoist Platform Realm to the Secret Realm, and then to the Yunling Realm. Strange and terrifying, everyone witnessing it felt a chill down their spine.

"Save me!"

Duan Hui’s eyes were filled with terror; the annual ring worm had chosen him as its target. Although this creature could only strike once, each attack either killed or severely injured a Taoist Platform Realm expert. Unluckily, he was the chosen victim.

There was no visible trace of how the annual ring worm’s attack worked, yet the strange nature of it left this Taoist Platform Realm Third Level expert as vulnerable as a babbling child.

"Retreat!"

Yet, Zhao Bilong and Situ Hao exchanged a glance and chose retreat because they realized their odds in a frontal confrontation were lower than their adversaries’ chances.

Seven Taoist Platform Realm elders swiftly fled into the distance, abandoning the hopeless Duan Hui, who couldn’t escape the annual ring worm’s power.

His body continued the bizarre shedding until he became the size of a newborn baby, then eventually collapsed into a seed that fell to the ground.

The moment the seed hit the ground, it began to root and sprout into a person-tall tree, perfectly resembling Duan Hui except his feet had become roots, arms turned into branches, and hair into tender shoots. Duan Hui’s life completely dissipated along with it.

After completing all this, the annual ring worm yawned, its plump body rolled back into the jade box, which closed as it drifted back to sleep, ignoring everything outside.

"Abandoning their own companions like this, is this what the righteous path is about? Truly laughable."

Su Jie watched Zhao Bilong and others fleeing, a mocking smile playing at his lips.

"Chase them! Today, let’s make Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance bleed dry; don’t let anyone escape!"

Zhang Chenfeng charged ahead to lead the pursuit.

Su Jie rode on the thousand-hand centipede, and the other Taoist Platform Realm cultivators each used their skills.

In fact, Zhao Bilong and the others could not escape; Su Jie and his team had painstakingly set this trap, and if they got away so easily, it would have wasted a meticulously crafted plan.

Shortly after both sides left Taifeng City, an array formation’s symbols on the ground ahead illuminated before Zhao Bilong’s group. The clouds twisted into thick iron walls, blocking their path.

This was a formation secretly set by Fire Cloud Palace; they also had experts proficient in formations.

While these iron walls couldn’t fully block Zhao Bilong and his group, they delayed them long enough for Su Jie and his team to catch up.

"We can’t escape; we have to fight our way through first. Attack!"

Seeing the situation, Zhao Bilong from Guan Chao Pavilion knew he couldn’t run further and had to engage in battle. With a flash of light from the storage bag at his waist, he retrieved a treasure.

This was a treasure staff over two meters long, coiled with two true dragons whose heads emerged from the staff, while the top embedded a treasure bead, symbolizing dragons playing with a pearl.

It was a Low Grade Spirit Treasure called the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff, vast in power, rumored to carry the force of overturning rivers and seas.

When Zhao Bilong slammed the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff down, the world seemed to turn upside down, the ground upheaved layer by layer, a void filled with emerald sea waves rose like an unlimited ocean. Zhao Bilong himself tossed out numerous array plates, occupying the eight points of the heavens and earth, with the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff as the array’s core, as though the sky and earth were covered by endless waves, creating a super formation.

Initially intended to deal with Su Jie, this formation was now Zhao Bilong’s means of self-preservation.

"Hmph, you scum from Guan Chao Pavilion, prepare to die."

Zhang Chenfeng wasn’t about to let Zhao Bilong run rampant; he too pulled out a treasure from his storage bag.

This was a golden ring inscribed with countless talismans. Upon appearing, torrents of heat washed over, turning the ground beneath into flowing magma.

It was the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring, also a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, no less powerful than the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff.

"Great Solar Star!"

Zhang Chenfeng released the ring, and it flew to hover above his head like a scorching sun, emitting supreme radiance, pressuring those present to the brink of suffocation.

The void ignited, the earth swelled into volcanoes one after another, ejections of flames and magma erupted like the most splendid fireworks on earth, evaporating tons upon tons of seawater.

Spiritual Treasures are weapons used by Purple Mansion Realm cultivators and can only be refined by them. Both Guan Chao Pavilion and Fire Cloud Palace had produced Purple Mansion Realm great powers, leaving these Low Grade Spirit Treasures as their sect’s heritage.

The confrontation between the two Low Grade Spirit Treasures was intense. The Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring radiated vast power. Zhang Chenfeng walked through the air under its protection, his aura as overwhelming as mountains from the Nine Heavens, like a truly descending sun, igniting everything in its path and reigning over the battlefield as the ultimate ruler of flames.

Zhao Bilong could no longer afford to help others; he wielded the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff and, with a heavy gesture, pointed ahead. Instantly, mountains rose and seas surged, the sky and earth transformed, turbulent waves roaring, two true dragons swirling around the staff as a treasure bead at the top shimmered brightly, playing the role of a pearl between dragons.

This was indeed a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, named the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff, entwined with two true dragons. The staff, with dragon heads swallowing and spitting, had the power to churn the seas.

Now with the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff thrust heavily, heaven and earth were turned upside down, the ground was lifted, bordered by billowing waves, a grand scene indeed.

This great formation was initially intended to deal with Su Jie, but under the current circumstances, Zhao Bilong couldn’t afford to risk it for protection.

"Hmph, rabble of Guan Chao Pavilion, prepare for annihilation!"

Zhang Chenfeng, wielding the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring, advanced at the forefront.

The aftermath of their clash, with both holding Low Grade Magical Treasures and possessing the Taoist Platform Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, was enough to make many Taoist Platform Realms pull back hastily, vacating the battlefield for these giants.

Su Jie, his eyes unblinking, watched with intense envy as he fixated on the treasures, mumbling: "Such treasures are exactly what catches my eye."

However, aware of the task at hand, after Zhao Bilong and Zhang Chenfeng charged at each other, Su Jie shifted his focus to the others and set his target on Situ Hao.

"Devil, today we decide life and death."

Upon hearing Su Jie mention Murong Yue, Zhang Chenfeng instantly erupted in rage.

Su Jie glanced at Situ Hao and turned to ride the thousand-hand centipede towards that direction.
