196: Petty thief, treacherous scoundrel, villain, traitor!

As the two faced off, the Yin and Yang Qi between heaven and earth were drawn in, forming two distinctly different storms.

On one side was the tyrannical killing intent of the flood dragon; on the other, the sharp and piercing edge of Jin Peng.

Attracted by the same Origin, the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon felt that if it devoured this person, it would surely be able to supplement its Origin and thus suppress its ferocity.

Jin Peng, however, had no such thoughts; he looked down upon such low-grade and mixed Origins.

He simply wanted to give it a lesson.

After a long standoff, the evil flood dragon finally couldn't hold back anymore. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a blast of Yin-Yang Evil Qi, striking directly at Jin Peng!

The Evil Qi was like a furious Dragon emerging from the sea, churning thousands of miles of ocean. Wherever it passed, even space was corroded with cracks.

However, Jin Peng merely shook the wings on his back, and golden light erupted.

The Yin-Yang Dragon-Slaying Sword flew out from within, its blade wrapped in the purest Yin-Yang dao rhyme, instantly slashing the Evil Qi to pieces!

The Sword Qi's momentum remained undiminished, carving a deep bloody gash into the evil flood dragon's scales, and Dragon blood splattered onto the sea surface.

"Is this all you've got?" Jin Peng sneered, Battle Intent rising in his eyes. "Today, I shall let you witness what true Yin and Yang power is!"

With that, Jin Peng directly activated his mana, and his Divine Ability—the Yin-Yang Divine Light—manifested.

In an instant, in an instant, the world suddenly changed color, shrouded in black and white.

Above the firmament, the sun and moon lost their luster. Beneath the vast ocean, life and death rotated.

The Divine Light poured down like a heavenly river, each strand containing the mighty power to wear down all things, descending upon the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon!

The Yin-Yang Flood Dragon let out a shrill roar, frantically circulating the Origin within its body to resist.

All its scales stood on end as the Yin and Yang Qi transformed into layer upon layer of barriers.

Yet wherever the Divine Light reached, its defenses were pierced through like thin paper.

The black and white divine rays coiled around its thousand-foot Dragon body. With every coil, the Yin and Yang Qi within its body was worn away a bit more.

At first, the evil flood dragon was still putting up a desperate struggle.

Its Dragon tail swept across, kicking up waves ten thousand feet high, and its sharp claws tore at the air, ripping black cracks in space, trying to escape the erosion of the Yin-Yang Divine Light.

But as the Divine Light continued to corrode it, its movements became increasingly sluggish.

In those crimson Dragon eyes, the look of madness was gradually replaced by terror.

It finally realized that this person's mastery of the Yin and Yang Dao was far superior to its own!

Roar!

A Dragon's roar, mixed with pain and fear, resounded through the clouds.

The Yin-Yang Flood Dragon twisted its body violently, not hesitating to sever its own tail that was entangled by the Divine Light, and a rain of blood instantly poured down.

Using the recoil from this action, it turned into a grayish-white streak of light and prepared to flee.

A cold light flashed in Jin Peng's eyes. "Thinking of leaving?"

Spreading his wings, he instantly crossed the Void Realm and pursued the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon.

Seeing Jin Peng chasing further and further away.

"No need to chase!"

"Chase..."

At this moment, Kong Xuan, who had not intervened from start to finish, spoke up to stop him, but his voice grew lower and lower, a hint of smugness on his face.

Now that Jin Peng was gone, the Opportunity that had appeared would belong to him.

There was no helping it; who told Jin Peng not to want it?

Kong Xuan then turned his gaze toward the few clouds below.

"So colorful and magnificent; if refined, they could be made into a Three Talents Necklace, perfect to gift to the Daoist Venerable!"

With a sweep of the Five-Colored Divine Light, he directly took the three clouds inside.

Just as he was about to head in Jin Peng's direction.

Another figure flew rapidly across the sea surface.

With sharp light flashing in his eyes and filled with rage, he came toward Kong Xuan.

"Vile creature, I want you dead!"

Kong Xuan was taken aback, seeing that it was just a Cultivator who had newly entered the Taiyi Realm, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly to him.

He immediately... turned around and ran.

As a seasoned schemer, he knew the importance of being steady and cautious.

Since this Cultivator, who was clearly inferior in strength, dared to be so insolent, it was hard to say if he had some trump card or had laid some trap.

In a situation where everything was unclear, he would certainly not strike easily.

Thus, one could see a Cultivator who had just entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage chasing Kong Xuan, who was at Taiyi Perfection, all over the place.

That Cultivator was full of rage, looking as if he would not rest until Kong Xuan was dead.

Kong Xuan was also quite puzzled; where had he offended such a hotheaded youth to make him so angry?

But out of caution, he continued to lead the man in circles.

He waited until they had traveled tens of millions of miles to ensure he wouldn't fall into the man's schemes.

Then, he unleashed his Aura, and the Five-Colored Divine Light surged behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, you and I have no grievances; why are you hunting me down?"

Kong Xuan's sudden turnaround made the young Cultivator pause.

Having chased for so long, he had never realized what the cultivation level of the person before him was.

Now that their eyes met, he was shocked to find that Chaos seemed to flow in the other's eyes, and the Qi around him was obscure and difficult to discern; he couldn't see through the depth of his power at all!

Didn't this mean that this person's cultivation was above his own?

The young Cultivator's heart trembled, but he suppressed his suspicion in the next moment.

A Spirit Treasure appeared in his hand—the Zhenhai Divine Whip. It was a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure; the power of one strike could calm the waves of the four seas, so why should he be timid?

He immediately activated his mana. As the divine whip swung, the sea surface for ten thousand miles around instantly solidified, and the waves were frozen in place.

"Little thief, treacherous thief, evil thief, rebellious thief!"

"I want you dead!"

The young Cultivator cursed as he soared into the air, the Zhenhai Divine Whip coming down with the power to shatter mountains and split seas.

The Zhenhai Divine Might manifested, and an extremely strong pressure enveloped his head.

Before the whip's shadow even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the sea surface below to collapse into a long, deep pit!

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up.

This treasure is good; come to my arms quickly.

Kong Xuan did not dodge or avoid it, meeting the Zhenhai Divine Might head-on.

Just as the whip's shadow was about to hit him, five strands of Divine Light that reached the heavens and earth suddenly spread out behind him.

Divine Ability—Five-Colored Divine Light!

Green, yellow, red, black, and white colors intertwined like the rosy clouds at the creation of the world, dyeing the entire sky into a magnificent painting.

The Divine Light was too brilliant; the young Cultivator only felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and even his Primordial Spirit was trembling.

Wherever the Five-Colored Divine Light passed, space rippled like water, and time seemed to slow down.

The trajectory of the Zhenhai Divine Whip's strike actually froze in mid-air, and the Innate dao patterns wrapped around the whip began to disintegrate inch by inch!

"Collect!" Kong Xuan shouted softly, and the Five-Colored Divine Light rolled back like a heavenly river.

Before the young Cultivator could react, his hand suddenly felt light.

The Zhenhai Divine Whip actually turned into a streak of light and vanished into the Five-Colored Divine Light!

"My divine whip!" The young Cultivator's face changed drastically. He hurriedly performed hand seals to summon it back, only to find that his spiritual connection with the Magic Treasure had been completely severed.

He became even more furious. "First you injured my sisters, and then you took my treasure. You treacherous thief, I will not rest until you are dead!"

Kong Xuan was stunned. Who injured your sisters?

Suddenly, he remembered the three clouds he had collected.

The sisters this person spoke of must be them.

But that was the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon's doing; what did it have to do with him?

If anything, if he and Jin Peng hadn't intervened, those three sisters might have had their souls and bodies extinguished.

But this treasure... since it was taken, it was taken.

The opponent was just a minor Cultivator who had newly entered the Taiyi Realm.

What could he possibly do to him?

Kong Xuan extended a finger and beckoned. "If you have the ability, come and take it back."

Facing this provocative act, the young Cultivator took the bait again, spewing out all sorts of foul language.

Kong Xuan also frowned slightly.

This person is truly too... temperamental!

However, he was also somewhat looking forward to what other treasures the man could bring out, so he could take them all together.
