Chapter 57: Don't hit women? I don't have such a bad habit!

"Oh no! Disciple, run quickly, that fellow has locked onto you!"

Anxious reminders from the old woman in the ring rang in Song Yan's ear. Song Yan's expression changed in great panic, and without time to think further, he immediately retrieved a spatial teleportation Talisman and crushed it.

A wave of spatial power emerged, wrapping around Song Yan. Yet lasting less than two breaths of time, the spatial power was suppressed by an inexplicable force, scattering into nothingness.

This sudden change left Song Yan stunned in place, somewhat at a loss.

Gu Shengge looked down at Song Yan, who wanted to escape, a trace of mockery flashing across his double pupils.

As early as when he arrived at the Trial Grounds, he had already discovered the bizarre nature of this place. Not only was it imperceptibly plundering vitality, but in the dark, there was also a force of sealing and restriction affecting spatial changes.

Any means of breaking open space were useless here. This could also explain why the Qiankun Taoist Sect did not place a teleportation array platform in this place.

With a thought from Gu Shengge, a sky-shielding giant hand of thunder appeared once more, crushing down toward Song Yan.

Seeing that the giant hand of thunder was about to fall, terror appeared in Song Yan's eyes. He wanted to escape, but found that his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, unable to move.

Subconsciously closing his eyes, he shouted anxiously: "Sister Luoyao, save me!"

Hearing Song Yan's cry for help, Xi Luoyao's figure flashed instantly, appearing before him. With both hands forming incantation seals, boundless water vapor emerged, transforming in an instant into a layer of gentle water curtain. Magnificent and mighty, stretching for over a hundred miles, it blocked the front of the two people.

Gu Shengge: "Futile struggle."

As the words fell, amidst Xi Luoyao's stunned gaze, the giant hand of thunder forcefully tore apart the water curtain, and with its remaining might unreduced, blasted downward!

"Ruoshui Treasure Umbrella, rise!"

Thunder rushed toward her face. Xi Luoyao had no time to be shocked, quickly sacrificing her Lifebound Treasure, a cyan-blue treasure umbrella. The treasure umbrella hovered above her head, cascading down thousands of rays of magnificent light.

Under Xi Luoyao's actuation, the treasure umbrella transformed in an instant into a sky-supporting canopy. Water waves surged to the heavens, tides roiled, evolving into a water-spiritual realm, and with the momentum of supreme goodness is like water, it wrapped around the giant hand of thunder.

"Explode." Gu Shengge indifferently spat out a single word.

Boom!!

Hearing only a loud bang, the giant hand of thunder wrapped by the water-spiritual realm violently burst open. Destructive power suddenly spread, wantonly venting within the Ruoshui Treasure Umbrella!

Hmph! Xi Luoyao let out a soft huff, her dark eyebrows slightly furrowed, her face showing a trace of pain.

A Lifebound Treasure is connected to a Cultivator's very life.

Although Gu Shengge's thunderstorm move could not destroy the Ruoshui Treasure Umbrella, it still made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Protected behind Xi Luoyao, Song Yan saw that the thunder giant hand was neutralized, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing the fortune of surviving a catastrophe.

He raised his head to look at that figure in white standing proudly above the azure firmament, resentment leaking from his eyes.

Ridiculous! He hadn't even provoked this fellow, so why did he want to kill him?

Could it be just because he didn't bow to him in the Sect Master's main hall earlier?

How could such a narrow-minded person become the Daoist Child of the Dao Sect!

Xi Luoyao forcefully suppressed the chaotic magical power within her body, glared angrily at Gu Shengge, and rebuked in a delicate voice:

"Gu Shengge, what do you want to do! Killing the Sword Sect's Sword Child is not enough, and you still want to kill a fellow Sect Disciple! Do you really think that just because this Eminence is no longer the Sect Master, you can do whatever you want?!"

Seeing that Xi Luoyao was stubbornly unrepentant and still thinking of protecting Song Yan, Gu Shengge's double pupils grew slightly cold, and he said in a chilling voice:

"The Sect Master has given an order: Song Yan has brought chaos to the Sect, and his crimes deserve execution. This Eminence is ordered to purge the Sect. Xi Luoyao, if you insist on obstructing this, do not blame this Eminence for disregarding fellow Sect ties and executing you together!"

Hearing this, Xi Luoyao was first startled, and then her face showed disgust, a look of disdain emerging in her beautiful eyes as she mocked Gu Shengge:

"What a fine bringing chaos to the Sect! You all go on and on about the Sect's rules being sacred and inviolable, yet now, because of a small matter, you want to execute a Sect Disciple of pure and good character. How truly hypocritical!"

She turned her head to look at Song Yan. This child had once boiled a bowl of white porridge for her; how could he possibly bring chaos to the Sect?

Xi Luoyao: "Gu Shengge, today this Eminence puts her words right here: unless this Eminence dies and her Dao disperses, no one can kill Song Yan!"

Seeing that Xi Luoyao was so obdurate, a trace of scarlet flickered in Gu Shengge's double pupils. Terrifying killing intent surged like a tide, covering heaven and earth with a faint layer of scarlet, and the Heavenly Tribulation thunder became even more violent!

Feeling that majestic killing intent, Xi Luoyao's expression changed slightly, and she quickly instructed Song Yan behind her:

"Xiaoyan, I will hold back Gu Shengge, you find an opportunity to escape."

"No, I want to live and die together with Sister Luoyao!" Song Yan shook his head, his face showing firmness, unwilling to escape alone.

Hearing this, Xi Luoyao was deeply moved.

"Teacher, if we join forces with Xi Luoyao, can we win against that fellow surnamed Gu?"

Song Yan anxiously communicated with the granny in the ring. It wasn't that he didn't want to run; it was just that this place was too bizarre, and he simply couldn't escape.

The granny in the ring fell silent and did not answer Song Yan.

This made Song Yan even more anxious. How could she drop the chain at such a critical moment!

Xi Luoyao did not notice Song Yan's abnormality. She raised her head to look at Gu Shengge and said in a delicate voice:

"Gu Shengge, considering that you are a Junior, this Eminence will give you one last chance. Stop right here, and this Eminence can let bygones be bygones."

However, the only answer she received was a bolt of thunder striking head-on, causing the Ruoshui Treasure Umbrella to tremble incessantly.

"Fine! Then don't blame this Eminence for being ruthless!"

Xi Luoyao bit her silver teeth, and a Law spirit mark emerged between her eyebrows. The Law of water pulsed, and endless water mist surged, enveloping a radius of ten thousand miles, making this patch of heaven and earth damp and transforming it into a kingdom of water!

The very instant the kingdom of water formed, a thousand-zhang water shadow rose from the ground, surrounded by a condensed water Phoenix, holding a treasure umbrella. The waters of a thousand rivers converged onto her single body, water waves towering to the skies, resembling a deity of Ruoshui, with majestic might and terrifying all spirits!

Law domain, water-spiritual Primordial Spirit!

As soon as Xi Luoyao made a move, she exhausted all her trump cards, fully displaying the two major methods of Soul Transformation and celestial beings.

Looking at that thousand-zhang water-spiritual Primordial Spirit, Gu Shengge showed disdain: "Insignificant tricks."

He raised a hand to gently tap between his brows, and the Eye of the Heavens bloomed with brilliant silver light. Endless thunder penetrated out of his body, transforming into a thunder divine shadow that was likewise a thousand zhang tall. Magnificent heavenly might permeated, holding a silver thunder great halberd whose blade gleamed brightly, its sharpness seeming capable of destroying this patch of heaven and earth!

Xi Luoyao, who was driving the water-spiritual Primordial Spirit, saw that thunder divine shadow, and shock appeared on her pretty face as she blurted out:

"How is this possible? You haven't even achieved a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, how can you drive a Law Primordial Spirit!"

Only when a Cultivator reaches Soul Transformation, and their Nascent Soul undergoes Undergoing Tribulation to receive baptism by the Law, can they transform into a Law Primordial Spirit. This is common sense.

But Gu Shengge was an existence that broke common sense.

This divine shadow transformed by the thunder Law was formed from the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, not a conventional Law Primordial Spirit.

Yet He was even more powerful than ordinary Law Primordial Spirits.

"Why talk so much nonsense? This Eminence does not have the bad habit of not hitting women!"

With that said, Gu Shengge drove the thunder divine shadow, waving the silver thunder great halberd to fiercely hack toward Xi Luoyao like heaven and earth opening up. Xi Luoyao flurriedly waved the treasure umbrella to block the silver thunder great halberd.

The two thousand-zhang entities engaged in battle. The Dao Sect's Disciples scattered and retreated one after another, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.

Taking advantage of Gu Shengge being restrained by Xi Luoyao, how could Song Yan care about living and dying together anymore? He retrieved a spirit boat from his storage ring.

Roar!!

Just as Song Yan boarded the spirit boat, a golden figure blocked his way, destroying the spirit boat with a single claw.
