Chapter 52: The Appearance of Kunpeng (2/2)
Hongyun's expression worsened when Kunpeng pointed out his weakness. His Good Separation was destroyed and he himself was affected. It was hard for him to exert all his strength. He should go while he still had the chance. Thinking of this, Hongyun wiped his red gourd and numerous red sand surged from its mouth towards Kunpeng. He himself retreated quickly, wanting to escape.
With a sneer, Kunpeng waved his sleeves and astral wind emerged from his cuffs, instantly blowing the red sand away. He then transformed into a large bird, spreading its wings and flying towards Hongyun. In Untainted Land, only a few people were faster than Kunpeng. Hongyun was obviously not one of those people.
In just a short while, the bird caught up with Hongyun, its sharp claws mauling his heart from behind him. Hongyun evaded Kunpeng's attack, but when he turned around, Kunpeng had blocked his way. Hongyun was forced to stop. It seemed that it was impossible for him to run.
Kunpeng looked at Hongyun, smiling coldly. ”Hongyun, don't waste your time. In terms of speed, you're slower than me. Hurry up and give me Hong Meng Immortal Qi and I'll spare your life. If you lost your life, you would end up with nothing. What use would Hong Meng Immortal Qi be to you then?”
Kunpeng obviously wanted to defeat Hongyun without a fight. Once they battle, he would not be able to win in a short period. As Hongyun's words, it would be bad for both of them if they attracted the attention of those Individual Cultivators. Besides, what worried Kunpeng the most was the actions of Emperor Jun at Heavenly Court and the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. If things dragged on, Hong Meng Immortal Qi would never belong to him.
Hongyun gritted his teeth. ”Kunpeng, stop dreaming about my Hong Meng Immortal Qi. I'd rather die than give it to you. You speak too much nonsense. If you want a fight, I'll give you one. Take this! I'll use the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing and Life-killing Red Sand to kill you.”
Hongyun picked up the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd in Mount Buzhou. It was a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, containing spirit-killing red sand that could kill a person's soul and body. It was the most toxic Magic Weapon. Hongyun did not give in this time. Since he could not escape, he could only try and finish their fight as soon as possible.
All the red sand flew towards Kunpeng, carrying with them an unpleasant smell. Red light veiled the Heaven and Earth. Kunpeng dared not be careless. This time, the red sand was much stronger and plentiful than before. He could no longer deal with them with just the Astral Wind from a flick of his sleeves.
A mini palace appeared in Kunpeng's hand. When he murmured incantations, the palace began spraying black water, rushing to the red sand. The palace was Kunpeng's Eternal Spiritual Treasure, a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. After he created the demon characters, he engraved the characters on his treasure, greatly enhancing its power. So Kunpeng named the treasure Demon Palace.
The red sand and black water clashed, not yielding to each other. Hongyun activated the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd as he cast his Taoist Seal. He muttered, ”Clouds gather, winds blow, all things change. Red sand fills the sky killing people's spirit and body. Nine Nine Red Cloud Formation, begin!”
It was once again the Red Cloud Formation, but this time it was an improved tactical formation with the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd as the Eye of Formation. The Formation contained not only the power of thunder and fire, but also the spirit-killing red sand, which was further strengthened.
Laced with thunder and fire, the red sand attacked Kunpeng. He immediately felt more pressure and had to contract his defense. The Northern Underworld black water wrapped around him like an iron bastion. Though the red sand paired with thunder and fire attacked Kunpeng brutally, it was hard to break through his defense.
Hongyun worried that if the fight continued, they would attract attention. Looking at the huge Red Cloud Formation, Kunpeng sneered and activated the Demon Palace. ”Ice swords, break the formation.” The treasure hurled ice swords with great power.
A sound similar to Kunpeng's voice floated into the Formation from outside. It said, ”Astral Wind of Nine Heavens, break the formation.” Hongyun was shocked when the ice swords and Astral Wind simultaneously attacked the Formation from the inside and outside. The red sand, together with thunder and fire, was annihilated and his Formation instantly collapsed.
