Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 222 Old Monster Huang

"If only we had a Fire Source Pearl, we could cultivate the Fireball Technique. Otherwise, in a place like New Moon Island, even if we had a lot of Fire Transformation Talismans, it probably wouldn't be enough." Du Fan suddenly sighed, then turned his gaze to a giant tree, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"If you don't show yourself now, do I have to personally invite you out?" Du Fan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Du, you are quite skilled. I am quite adept at the art of concealment, and few cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage can see through it. I did not expect that you, a mere Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivator, would be able to discover my whereabouts. It seems that you possess something that I am quite interested in."

An aged voice suddenly rang out, and then the large tree that Du Fan was staring at suddenly twisted. The next moment, an old man with white hair wearing a yellow Taoist robe stepped out from it and looked at Du Fan with great interest.

"Judging from your words, you intend to make a move against me." Du Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression growing cold.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Putting aside the treasures in your storage bag, the sword-shaped magic weapon in your hand is quite remarkable. As the saying goes, 'Every man for himself, or the devil take the hindrance.' Don't blame me after you enter the underworld, Fellow Daoist Du." The old man in the yellow robe chuckled and spoke in a sinister voice.

"Your tone is quite arrogant. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Huang Laoguai, one of the top ten in Langlin Valley." Du Fan scanned the other party with his divine sense and immediately discerned his cultivation level. Moreover, the man's appearance was almost identical to Yuan Li's description, so he immediately made a judgment.

"You told me about my situation, didn't you, that little bastard Yuan Li? It seems you two have a pretty good relationship. Don't worry, after I kill you, I'll send him down to join you!"

As soon as Old Huang finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, his entire body transformed into a hazy, yellowish humanoid figure. After a period of expansion and contraction, it gradually faded and soon disappeared.

Witnessing such a bizarre scene, Du Fan's eyes twitched slightly. Then, his divine sense spread out, instantly covering a hundred-foot radius around him.

To Du Fan's surprise, he couldn't sense any living beings within this area.

"Not good, Earth Escape!" The next moment, Du Fan's expression suddenly changed. He stomped his foot hard on the ground and used the force of the impact to move his body suddenly, instantly shifting three zhang to the side. Then he turned around and coldly looked at the place where he had been standing.

With a loud "bang!", the ground where Du Fan was standing suddenly trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, a huge, menacing axe, about ten feet in size, burst out of the ground. With a flash of cold light, it shot into the sky, but missed its target.

"Huh?" A soft exclamation suddenly came from the void. The voice was none other than Old Monster Huang. His tone seemed to carry a hint of surprise.

Old Huang snorted coldly and fell silent, preparing his next attack under the cover of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

"Now that we've discovered you, why would we give you the chance to use the same trick again?"

After Du Fan sneered, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and instantly a deep blue sword shadow about ten feet long appeared. With another swing of the silver sword weapon, the Water Shadow Sword immediately transformed into a blue rainbow and shot out. As soon as the sound of air being torn apart rang out, it slammed hard into the ground not far in front of Du Fan.

With a deafening roar, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

After the dust and mist dissipated, a yellow figure appeared from within. It was none other than Old Monster Huang, who had just emerged from underground. At this moment, his face was ashen and he looked very unwell. A hint of fear was revealed in his turbid eyes.

"Du Daoyou's methods are unethical!"

After saying a gloomy sentence, Old Huang stopped talking nonsense. With a wave of his sleeves, his hands made hand seals continuously. A gust of wind seemed to come out of nowhere. The dust that had been dispersed from all directions flew up again and swirled around Old Huang, rolling and gathering.

Huang Laoguai suddenly let out a low roar, and then he suddenly raised his arms and pushed them towards Du Fan from a distance.

In an instant, the dust swirling around him turned into a sky full of yellow sand, rushing straight towards Du Fan with a roar, accompanied by a series of deep rumbling sounds, like a raging torrent, its momentum terrifying.

Within the yellow sand, knives, forks, swords, and halberds could be vaguely seen, their chilling gleam appearing and disappearing, truly exceptionally sharp.

"This shouldn't be a minor Five Elements technique." Du Fan's eyes narrowed suddenly. Faced with an attack of this scale, he didn't dare to be too careless. He raised his hands abruptly and made various hand seals in succession while chanting incantations.

Suddenly, countless golden light spots appeared in the void around Du Fan. In an instant, these light spots, driven by an invisible energy, transformed into a vast expanse of golden light.

A brilliant golden light shone brightly, dazzlingly bright. After a period of condensation, a golden, semi-circular dome suddenly formed, about ten feet in diameter, almost tangible, completely protecting Du Fan within it.

"Dual spiritual roots!" Huang Laoguai's face twitched in the distance, his expression becoming even more gloomy. He instantly bit his left index finger until it bled, and as he made a hand seal with his right hand, his left finger suddenly trembled, flicking out a drop of bright red blood. In a flash, it caught up with the rolling yellow sand ahead and quickly disappeared into it.

After the massive cloud of yellow sand swallowed a drop of Huang Laoguai's blood, it immediately emitted a series of "zzzz" sounds. The drop of blood transformed into dozens of thin, crimson blood threads that flickered and wandered within it, looking quite eerie.

The entire expanse of yellow sand trembled violently and let out a ferocious roar, its momentum increasing by three points. With a sudden increase in speed, it instantly engulfed the golden light shield that was already within reach.

Du Fan felt the light around him suddenly dim. After scanning with his divine sense, he found that the Buddhist and Taoist technique Golden Bell Shield he had used had been completely enveloped by the opponent's large mass of yellow sand.

Then came a series of dense sounds, like rain pattering on banana leaves. Du Fan looked closely and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, the ethereal knives, forks, swords, and halberds that had materialized from the yellow sand seemed to come alive, trembling violently and buzzing as they crashed down on the golden bell shield. The golden shield was instantly compressed and distorted, its light dimming in an instant, and it looked as if it could not hold on for long.

Du Fan's heart tightened. Without saying a word, he quickly made a hand seal and pressed it heavily onto the Golden Bell Shield. A powerful magical force surged out from his hand seal and instantly entered the light shield.

After being replenished with the power of the incantation, the Golden Bell Shield immediately flashed with golden light. Accompanied by a faint Sanskrit inscription, a layer of golden light suddenly emanated from the surface of the shield, instantly pushing away the rolling yellow sand and the illusory weapon inside.

"Hmm? This is... a Buddhist or Taoist cultivation method!"

Huang Laoguai, who was in the distance, naturally heard the Sanskrit voice coming from the golden light shield. His expression changed and he was immediately shocked.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and then a withered, dry hand slapped the storage bag at his waist, instantly pulling out a tattered cloth bag the size of a palm.

Old Huang glanced at the object in his hand. A fleeting look of pain crossed his wrinkled face, which quickly turned into decisiveness. With a sudden movement of his arm, he forcefully threw the tattered cloth bag forward while simultaneously making hand seals.

With a whooshing sound, the bag instantly approached the rolling yellow sand and disappeared into it.

The next moment, the bag burst open with a "bang," and a viscous substance resembling mud sprayed out, instantly flying in all directions and merging into the yellow sand, as if being absorbed by it, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The moment the swampy mass melted, the momentum of the rolling yellow sand surged dramatically. The sea of ​​sand, which had been pushed aside, roared and pressed down again, easily shattering the golden halo before crashing heavily onto the main body of the Golden Bell Shield.

This time, before the golden light surrounding the Golden Bell Shield could dim, the shield began to crack with a series of "crackling" sounds, revealing countless fine cracks that resembled a dense spider web, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

What alarmed Du Fan even more was that within the rolling yellow sand outside the Golden Bell Shield, there seemed to be an abnormally violent energy fluctuation brewing and rapidly increasing, as if this power would erupt wildly once it reached a peak.

Du Fan's expression was solemn. He couldn't accurately judge how strong this terrifying power would be after it erupted, but it certainly wouldn't be small. Even though he had mastered several powerful physical techniques, he was unwilling to verify it himself.

The instant he raised his left hand, a magic seal suddenly formed and swiftly entered the Golden Bell Shield. At the same time, with a movement of his right hand, a blue sword shadow immediately emerged from the silver sword weapon.

Immediately afterward, as the sword rang out, the Water Shadow Sword transformed into a blue streak of light and shot out without any obstruction, passing through the golden bell shield of light and instantly appearing in the rolling yellow sand, heading straight for Old Monster Huang.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Old Huang immediately let out a cold laugh. Then, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the hand seals in his hands suddenly changed.

The Water Shadow Sword swept through everything in its path, carving a long gash in the yellow sand wherever it went. With a flash of light, it appeared at the edge of the sand dune, about to burst forth.

Just then, the void in front of the Water Shadow Sword suddenly rippled, and in an instant, dozens of sand and dust swords materialized, took shape, and with a series of low hums, rushed straight toward the Water Shadow Sword.
