“Hahahahaha!”
The receptionist at the hotel, upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, was momentarily startled before bursting into loud laughter, followed by the dozen or so people behind her. Layers of laughter intertwined, harsh and eerie to the ear.
“What a great joke!”
She looked at Xu Yang, sneering, “A tiny one, barely into the Dao Realm, you’re quite bold. Last time in Xuan Mountain, if it hadn’t been for that zombie and the Ghost King, I would have squashed you…Today, I have isolated this place, preventing the Ghost King and the zombie from coming to your rescue, I’d like to see how you manage to survive.”
Boom!
A thick grey fog surged around her.
Behind her, the dozen people each emanated their own grey fog, the massive clouds of fog churning and transforming into a grey cloud in mid-air.
The statue held by the receptionist suddenly opened its eyes and appeared as if
it had come to life. With a step, it landed on the ground.
It stood a yard tall-though it gave an impression of towering majesty at this moment.
It lifted its head, opened its mouth, and took a breath…
Splash!
The rolling grey cloud, like a whale gulping water, vanished into its body in an instant.
Immediately, the yard-tall statue’s body began to swell and enlarge. As it grew bigger, it emitted the sound of “Jie Jie Jie Jie,” its weird laughter.
Its eyes were full of scorn, staring coldly at Xu Yang like a predatory beast eyeing its prey. It snickered, “Boy, all my avatars have united today, specifically to deal with you. I intend to invade your mind, control you, and transform you into my most loyal follower, spreading my faith!”
It didn’t rush to take action.
After all, integrating all its avatars into a temporary golden image of the statue took time.
“Really?”
Xu Yang remained calm, replying indifferently, “If all your avatars are integrated, aren’t you afraid you’ll die here today?”
Xu Yang also didn’t rush to take action.
Because he was soaking in hot springs, he was currently in his underwear. So, with a thought, fire elemental essence immediately surrounded him, instantly drying his body. He then took out the Daoist robe left by the old man and put it on.
In front of him…
A system screen that only he could see emerged.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill (Entering Dao), Water Manipulation Skill (Entering Dao), Wulei Rules (Entering Dao), Paper Cutting Skill (Entering Dao), Earth Escape Skill.
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill, Soul Searching
[Cultivation]: Mid-stage of Entering Dao Realm
[Daoist Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist Artifact)
[Merit Points]: 27,500 points
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
“Now in the mid-stage of Entering Dao Realm, if I convert all these 27,500 merit points, I must be able to upgrade my cultivation to the later stage of Entering Dao Realm… But what difference does it make to the Grand Master of Xuan Mountain Temple, who could only be suppressed by the combined efforts of Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi, whether I am mid-stage or later stage of
Entering Dao Realm?”
“Even if his other avatar has been defeated by Wang Hou, his integrated avatar doesn’t have the same combat power as before, but it is beyond my capabilities even if I upgrade to the later stage of Entering Dao Realm!”
Xu Yang glanced around.
Grey mist swirled around, concealing everything.
The “Grand Master” said that he had shielded this place, making others unable to locate it… Xu Yang believed this. After all, if it were not the case, he would not dare to make a move.
But this type of shield must have a time limit!
As long as he could hold on for a while, or make a fuss and alert Yun Mengxi and Liu Shishi, the situation could immediately be reversed, and by then the Grand Master of Xuan Mountain Temple would have to worry!
Xu Yang’s intention fell on the small sign after the “Wulei Rules.” The only choice now is to enhance the rules of Thunder as much as possible, which might give him a slim chance of survival.
His thoughts gently touched the “+”, flashing once…
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -2000, Wulei Rules +1.”
Xu Yang was shocked!
Did the “Entering Dao” level of Wulei Rules take this much to enhance once? Immediately after, a sense of comprehension arose in his heart, lightning arced around his body.
“Huh?”
The Grand Master, just a step short from fully activating the golden statue, suddenly furrowed his brows. Surprised, he said, “What’s happening? His thunder method…is getting stronger?”
Rumble!
He couldn’t care less about anything else and began frenziedly manipulating the grey fog.
Crackle!
The statue’s golden body made cracking noises as if about to shatter. It nearly completed its transformation in an instant. Wielding its zen staff, it swung at Xu Yang.
Swipe!
An iron hammer appeared in Xu Yang’s hand. His magical energy burst forth crazily, channeling the essence of thunder into the iron hammer, lifting it to block.
However…
There was a substantial difference in power between the two. Xu Yang only felt a massive force, as if Mount Tai was bearing down on him. He was involuntarily sent flying!
“Water, come forth!”
While being thrown out, Xu Yang silently commanded. A splash sounded, and the hot spring pool that covered thousands of square metres bubbled and boiled. Streams of water gathered and rose, dragging Xu Yang into mid-air.
“Water Method!”
The Grand Master of Xuan Mountain Temple was surprised again. He sneered, “You little Daoist are quite impressive, cultivating the thunder, fire, and water methods concurrently..^ seems I made the right choice in dealing with you today.”
He disappeared in a flash.
A trail of grey mist cut through the night sky, instantly appearing at Xu Yang’s side.
Around Xu Yang, dozens of Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans flew out. They exploded simultaneously with loud bangs, forcing the Grand Master to retreat under the voluminous Daoist light.
