Chapter 1380: Chapter 77: Stepping Through Three Mountains—Gang Flow Unleashed, Fiery Qi Scorches the Land
Du Shixun was initially taken aback, then angrily shouted, "Shut up! My father and mother’s names are not for you to call!"
Mrs. Zhao’s face turned pale, her body swayed twice, tightly gripping the armrest, she quiveringly said, "How does the Xuanyue Sect know about this matter?"
Sect Leader Qiao was much more composed, only furrowing his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Let’s just hope Xun’er doesn’t get swayed by these words."
Though the position of Zhongtai Sect Leader also speaks of son succeeding father, it’s too early to discuss succession at the moment.
If Du Shixun can defeat Rong Junzhong, achieving the unity of the two sects, it will undoubtedly bring unmatched prestige within the sect, making it a rightful consequence for him to assume the next Sect Leader position.
Though he has such plans, he hasn’t had time to clearly express this to Du Shixun yet. Now he worries that, as this child is not his own, he fears he may be unable to discern the truth in time and be disturbed by Rong Junzhong’s words, which would be very bad.
From afar, on the Dharma Platform, Luo Dongchuan, lost in thought watching the battle, suddenly turned sideways, staring dead at Ancestor Hui Xuan for a long while before saying, "Daoist Hui Xuan, could it be you who spread this news?"
Ancestor Hui Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, his voice calm as he said, "If Du Shixun’s Dao Heart is steadfast, he will not be taken advantage of, so what difference does it make whether I speak or not?"
Luo Dongchuan laughed twice, saying, "Fellow Daoist, impressive means, I am in admiration."
Du Shixun knows well that Rong Junzhong’s words are meant to unsettle his Heart Realm, yet he still feels somewhat agitated and impatient for a moment.
With a fierce shout, he tilted his head back, summoning from his abdomen a mouthful of True Fire that has been refined for hundreds of years, and with operating his power, it spewed forth from his mouth.
The great mountains above were scorched by this fire, manifesting signs of collapse.
Rong Junzhong sensed that the fire contained immense power, fearing frontal confrontation would be disadvantageous. Making a quick decision, he withdrew the spell from the Three-fingered Fork, calling it back.
Once it fell into his hand, sensing the spiritual mechanism, he felt a chill in his heart.
The fire had only come into slight contact, yet the Three-fingered Fork had already suffered some damage, and its operation was not as smooth as before.
His expression involuntarily changed; this fire was so formidable that if it landed on him, it would be nearly impossible to resist. Just this single breath was enough to claim his life.
He pondered secretly, "This extraordinary fierce flame seems familiar to me. Could it be the ’Fierce Energy True Fire’ Divine Skills of the Little Cang Realm? If so, the origin of Du Shixun’s Power Technique seems to be understandable."
Thinking to this point, his gaze deepened.
Seeing the True Fire work, Du Shixun watched as the mountains dissolved, with no obstacles in sight, he took a vigorous breath, then sprayed another mouthful of True Fire toward the bottom.
This time, using his massive body to launch Divine Skills, the fire spread far and wide, engulfing every corner in blazing flames, even affecting the cultivators spectating from both sects, who hastily activated the Forbidden Array on the Dharma Platform. Yet even so, they felt the heat waves scorching their skin, causing a faint pain.
Rong Junzhong bore the brunt, the pressure he endured far exceeding others by a hundredfold, his expression also turning grim, as he waved his robe sleeve, launching two dazzling golden bells into the sky above, spinning wider and wider until they covered the size of a mountain, then directing mana upward to meet it.
Upon seeing this object, Elder Lin exclaimed, "Isn’t this the Supreme Treasure once carried by Senior Brother Deng?"
Elder Bai’s gaze was complicated, sighing and saying, "Our Zhongtai’s items are now used against our own Zhongtai cultivators, it is both sorrowful and hateful!"
In the previous two fights between the sects, Xuanyue was the victor, not only causing the death of many elders and cultivators, but also acquiring many Dharma Treasures passed down by predecessors within the sect, among which the "Thousand Jade Golden Bell" was one.
At this moment, as the fire crashed with a roar against the bell’s surface, the golden bell shook violently several times, seeming to emit a lamenting sound. After resisting for several breaths, it apparently couldn’t withstand the strain, and with a crack, broke open a large gap, countless Flowing Flames rushed down from inside, constantly widening the broken hole.
This treasure suffered severe damage, losing its spiritual nature, unable to endure under the continuous fierce fire impact, ultimately shattering into pieces.
Rong Junzhong took out another Iron Plate from his sleeve and also offered it to the sky, blocking above, but the True Fire was indeed formidable, and this object could only withstand a few breaths before suffering the same fate as the golden bell.
Yet, he remained calm, persistently retrieving Dharma Treasures, throwing them one by one into the air to defend against the fire.
By the time the True Fire weakened, he had thrown out seven Dharma Treasures, with three of them being Mystical Artifacts.
This extravagance made many watching twitch with astonishment.
