Chapter 104 The Primordial Measuring Ruler, Battle with Zhao Gongming!
"Teacher Ran Deng!"
"Zhao Gongming's magic weapon is exceptionally heavy; a strike from it will either kill or severely injure. We are currently no match for it!"
"Now that Huanglong Zhenren has been captured and five of the Twelve Golden Immortals are injured, it would be better to set things aside for now, hang a truce sign outside the city, and wait for the Holy Lord to escape before making further plans!"
"What do you all think?"
Guang Chengzi looked at Randeng and thought that it was better to remain still than to act rashly. At this critical juncture, no one should act rashly.
"That's fine too!"
"It's just that Huanglong is suffering!"
Ran Deng immediately nodded. After Huanglong Zhenren was captured, he was bound by Zhao Gongming with the Dragon-Binding Rope and hung above the gate of the Shang Dynasty to be exposed to wind and rain.
Zhao Gongming's Dragon-Binding Rope is an innate magic weapon named Dragon-Binding, and the opportunity for its creation lies here.
Huanglong Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, had no disciples, no magic weapons, and no mount. Because he was born from a wet egg, he was not favored by the Heavenly Venerable.
In the Chan Sect, Huanglong Zhenren was pleased to receive the Dharma name of Sanwu Zhenren, and today he is here again to face his tribulation.
Huanglong Zhenren has an extraordinary foundation. This dragon is a five-clawed golden dragon among true dragons, and is the emperor of the dragon race.
He shared the same origin as the Four Dragon Kings, and was in charge of the earth element among the Five Elements. By chance, he joined the Chan Sect.
In fact, Huanglong Zhenren and Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, were brothers, but their fates were different.
The next morning, Zhao Gongming came to the city again to challenge them. He rode a black tiger and stepped forward with a golden whip.
"All immortals of Xiqi, come and face your death!"
Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed with a fierce light. In the previous battle, he had injured five immortals and captured Huanglong. Now, with his fighting spirit at its peak, how could he give up so easily?
"Well done, Zhao Gongming! Today I must fight you to the death, or I will not be able to quell my hatred."
Nezha immediately stepped forward, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels as he walked out of the city gate, revealing himself with three heads and eight arms, each wielding a weapon.
"You little brat, how dare you dress up like an adult and come to the front lines! Go back now!"
"I pity your youth and will not hold it against you!"
Zhao Gongming looked at Nezha. This person's cultivation was no more than that of a celestial being, and he was also very young. Therefore, Zhao Gongming did not want to bully the younger one and personally fight him.
If I win, others will say that I won unfairly; if I lose, won't I ruin my reputation?
After thinking it over, Zhao Gongming spoke again.
His real rivals were the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect; his third-generation disciples were not on his list.
"Oh dear!"
"Take this shot!"
Nezha yelled and immediately charged with his Fire-Tipped Spear, but Zhao Gongming calmly countered with his Golden Whip.
Zhao Gongming was highly skilled in martial arts, and the golden whip in his hand had the power to move mountains and overturn seas. When it struck someone, it was as heavy as Mount Tai. It was truly a case of being injured if grazed and killed if touched!
This treasure is similar to the Heavenly River Divine Iron in Xin Huan's hands. Holding it in your hand is like holding two agile golden dragons. The two fought for no more than fifty rounds, and soon, Nezha was completely defeated.
"Behold my magic weapon!"
As Nezha gradually lost ground, he immediately unleashed his magic weapon, the golden brick, and smashed it directly at Zhao Gongming's head.
"This is a trivial matter!"
Zhao Gongming pointed to the top of his head, and there he raised his golden whip, which transformed into two golden dragons that blocked the golden brick.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Nezha chose to retreat.
"master!"
"His martial arts are superb, and his magical weapons are powerful; even the many magical artifacts I possess cannot harm him!"
Back in Xiqi City, Nezha approached Taiyi Zhenren, slowly lowered his head, and said dejectedly.
"Foolish child, you don't need to overthink it!"
"Zhao Gongming has been an immortal for a long time. He was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who attained enlightenment during the Three Sovereigns era. In terms of combat power, he is even stronger than your Uncle Guangchengzi."
"Even I, as his master, wouldn't dare say I'm guaranteed to defeat him. Your cultivation is merely that of a Celestial Immortal. Click to begin the wondrous journey of 'Entering the Tribulation to Become a God, Starting with Controlling the Three Calamities of Wind and Thunder.' And given your young age, your safe escape is already an immense stroke of luck!"
"Zhao Gongming is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the supreme being of this realm. If he wanted to kill you, it would only take a single thought."
Taiyi Zhenren looked at Nezha. Zhao Gongming was not angry with Nezha; otherwise, Nezha would have been in trouble long ago.
"Hiss, so that's how it is!"
Upon hearing this, Nezha broke out in a cold sweat again, but fortunately, Zhao Gongming did not hold it against him.
"Zhao Gongming!"
"Instead of seeking blessings at Mount Emei, you've come here to aid Wen Zhong. Do you also intend to aid and abet evil?"
As soon as the Taoist Ran Deng spoke, his figure disappeared with the wind and reappeared on the field.
"Light the lamp!"
"You're bullying the weak and abusing your power!"
"Now that you have come to Xiqi, you have harmed my fellow disciples. If you do not give me an explanation, I will definitely report this matter to the emperor and go to Jin'ao Island to report it to our master."
Zhao Gongming brought out his backstage support, resulting in the deaths and injuries of more than ten outer disciples of the Jie Sect. This was no small matter.
He was the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect. His fellow disciples were killed, so logically he couldn't escape responsibility. If the sage questioned him, he would also be in trouble.
"You disciples, ignorant of destiny, recklessly descended the mountain to interfere with important human affairs. Now you have died and been listed on the altar, which is also destiny. So how can this be considered persecution of the Jie Sect by the Chan Sect?"
Ran Deng spoke softly, his words flowing like a river, and in just a few words he exonerated the actions of the Chan Sect.
"What a wonderful lamp!"
"Today I will settle this with you!"
Zhao Gongming rode forward on a black tiger, holding a pair of golden whips, which transformed into two golden dragons and struck down at the Taoist Ran Deng.
This strike possessed the power to move mountains and overturn seas!
The Taoist Ran Deng pointed to the top of his head, and a jade ruler shimmering with purple light fell down, which he used to parry the golden whip.
"You are truly fortunate to have obtained this treasure, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a supreme treasure of acquired merit."
Zhao Gongming was not blind; the Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth Merit were two extraordinary treasures formed from the merit accumulated at the time of creation.
The Measuring Ruler is for offense, while the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda is for defense!
Although both are acquired later in life, they are imbued with the merits of creation, making them precious treasures of acquired merits.
"Take this!"
Ran Deng raised the Measuring Ruler and immediately struck Zhao Gongming. With one blow, the rocks turned into dust, and countless rays of light burst forth in the sky. The two were evenly matched.
"Behold my magic weapon!"
Seeing that he could not light the lamp, Zhao Gongming immediately offered up the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. The sky was filled with dazzling light, and five-colored rays of light bloomed.
The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are all innate spiritual treasures, each containing a vast world within it. These pearls are exceptionally heavy, even a powerful Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to withstand; if struck, they would either kill or seriously injure the person.
Now that Zhao Gongming has become ruthless, he attacked all at once, and even though the Taoist Ran Deng tried to block and dodge, he still fell for his trick.
"Cough cough cough~"
A flash of light streaked past, and Ran Deng was struck, his eyes blazing with fury, causing him immense pain.
"This fellow's magic weapon is powerful; we cannot defeat him by force!"
The Taoist Ran Deng was greatly alarmed. This Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was truly powerful. He immediately decided to leave.
"Zhao Gongming used some kind of magic weapon, and a dazzling light burst forth in the sky, making it impossible to see clearly."
"You can easily get infected if you're not careful!"
"That magic weapon is extremely heavy; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot carry it. It is truly formidable."
The Taoist Ran Deng returned to the city and entered the reed hut. In this confrontation, he had not gained the slightest advantage.
"For the next few days, let's raise the white flag of truce!"
"Once the Ten Deadly Formations are broken and the Holy Lord of Xiqi is freed, we can then make our own plans."
Since Daoist Ran Deng had spoken, this was the only option left!
