The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone was stunned. Shan Zhong clapped his hands happily: "This thief was killed with one blow, so happy!"
But the Heavenly Master shook his head, "You are too happy too early. His movement was extremely fast and he avoided the vital points in time. What was killed was just a shadow!"
Sure enough, the black energy regrouped and Shan Yang's figure reappeared, "The senior in the shadow hall is indeed well-deserved. He has inherited Zhang Tianshi's spiritual power and passed it down from generation to generation. His moves are as fast as lightning and his momentum is magnificent. The juniors admire him greatly!"
Lao Qintou switched to fighting mode, with his silver beard flying and murderous intent, and the sword in his hand was shining brightly, appearing and disappearing. He looked at Shan Yang, showing regret, "You often asked the old Taoist for advice before. I think you are open-minded and eager to learn, and you also intend to pass on the mantle to you. I didn't expect you to escape into the devil's way. What a pity!"
"That disappoints you, senior! I said that I just want to get power, the most powerful power. Now that I have got what I wanted, I have no regrets."
Old Qintou smiled slightly, "It turns out that you have the power of 'annihilation', and you have always kept the Tianshi Sword secretly. I, the Taoist, have misunderstood. It is useless to talk more. I can only go all out to conquer the demons, defend the Tao, and comfort the spirits of the ancestors." !”
The sword in his hand turned into a stream of light again. His moves were ordinary, but his speed, power and shocking momentum overwhelmed everything. Everyone was forced back several feet by the sword energy, and they were frightened.
Shan Yang did not dare to be careless and raised the Tianshi Sword. The black light exploded and collided with it. There was a loud bang, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and several halls were razed to the ground. The movement of the two people was extremely fast, and only two rays of light were entangled, and the strength was like a surge, destroying the dead, but they couldn't see the moves clearly.
The Heavenly Master frowned secretly. If the fight continues like this, it will bring disaster to the fish in the pond, and the thousand-year-old foundation will be destroyed in one day. It is really sad. Standing next to him, Shan Zhong asked in a low voice: "Where did Master Qin come from? Why is he so powerful?"
The Heavenly Master said: "Before the ancestor Zhang Daoling ascended, he retained part of his magic power in the form of spiritual power and passed it down from generation to generation, becoming the last force to protect Longhu Mountain."
"Master seems crazy, why is he still shouldering such a heavy responsibility? The sword in his hand looks like the Heavenly Master's Sword. Why does it appear and disappear?"
"The spiritual power of the ancestor Zhang Daoling has transformed weapons and magical weapons into ideas, reaching the supreme state of the unity of man, law and heaven. He is holding a shadow sword, but in fact the true form of the Tianshi Sword is in Zhang Danyang's hands."
The battle went on for more than a hundred rounds, with no outcome determined. The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, rolled in and out, and piled up like a mountain, as if they were about to collapse at any time. Zhang Danyang suddenly stopped his moves, "Senior, it's hard to tell the winner in such a hard battle. If Longhu Mountain is destroyed by us, we will be ashamed of our ancestors. Why not decide the winner with one move and end it happily. You once said that the master's method passed down from generation to generation The weapons 'Dragon and Tiger Seal' and 'Purple Gold Bell' are extremely powerful, I don't agree with this, I want to learn from you!"
Lao Qintou laughed: "Young man is so arrogant. He wants to show off my wealth? Well, if I meet your request, it will also show off your wealth!"
He kneaded the secret with one hand, and the purple light around his body gradually turned into a huge bell, which suddenly flew out and covered Shan Yang's head. Then the bell vibrated, emitting a strange sound wave, which made people have a splitting headache and almost fainted.
The Heavenly Master shouted: "This is the sound of the purple bell that subdues demons. Everyone, keep your mind and use your skills to resist." All the disciples hurriedly used their skills to resist. They were all sweating and it was very hard. Those with weaker skills could not control it and had to retreat.
Zhang Danyang was even more uneasy. His movement power was competing with him. The black light was continuously squeezed, and his body was distorted and blurred. Lao Qin shouted loudly, and two rays of golden light burst out of his body, turning into a golden dragon and a golden tiger, spiraling and entwining into a golden seal, and Mount Tai came to the top.
Shan Yang used the black light to turn into a giant palm to support him, contending with the dragon and tiger seal. They were stuck in a stalemate for a while.
The Heavenly Master breathed a sigh of relief and his face softened, "This 'Destruction' is really arrogant and overestimating his own abilities! Now that he is bound by the Purple Gold Bell and pressed by the Dragon and Tiger Seal, his strength will eventually be exhausted. It is only a matter of time before he is defeated."
Before he could put away his smile, dark clouds rolled up in the sky, like an upside-down lotus, its petals entangled and stretched, and a sharp flash of light fell from the sky from the center of the flower. The silver light was dazzling, and the "dragon and tiger seal" and purple gold bell were chopped into dust and smoke.
While everyone was stunned, a thunderous thunder came, the sound waves destroyed everything, sand and rocks flew over a hundred feet in radius, and trees were uprooted. All the disciples were shaken and staggered, wailing. The Heavenly Master was disgraced and angry, and loudly called to his disciples, "While he is using his big move and his skills are not enough, let's all attack together!"
Everyone was gearing up and about to attack, when Lao Qin came over and waved his hand to stop him, "Everyone, please be patient and wait and see what happens. Because the big move just now was not done by him, it was a thunder from the sky. Obviously, someone is trying to survive the disaster. "
"I heard Master say that in order for the immortals and demons in the upper realm to improve their cultivation, they need to go to the human world to survive the tribulation. This catastrophe of thunder is the most dangerous. If you don't deal with it properly, you will fail to survive the tribulation at the least, and your body and spirit will be destroyed at the worst. This is the tribulation. catastrophe."
"You mean Zhang Danyang is going through the tribulation?"
"Only those with profound knowledge can know the secret of overcoming the calamity, and the parties concerned cannot know it. I speculate that Zhang Shanyang is helping others to overcome the calamity!" Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the treasure bag on Shan Yang's waist.
"He tricked me into making a move and used the 'Dragon and Tiger Seal' and Purple Gold Bell to block the first thunder. There are two more left. One is stronger than the other, so it's all up to him."
"Then what do we do?"
Old Qintou sighed: "We don't have to do anything. It's so stupid and crazy for a mortal to try to block the sky thunder, and the ending is no suspense!"
Shan Yi was very anxious and interjected: "Master, how about we help him?"
Lao Qintou shook his head and said: "How can the sky thunder be defeated by mortals? Everything is in vain. Just let fate happen!"
While he was speaking, the sky became stormy again, and the dark clouds seemed to be boiling. Shan Yang regained his energy and raised his skills to the extreme. The black light around him was dazzling, and the invisible aura spread outward, making everyone breathless. The Heavenly Master Sword in his hand exploded by more than ten feet, like a blazing furnace rod, with dazzling light.
The Heavenly Master couldn't help but praise: "The innate Qi is so powerful, its attack can be overwhelming, and its defense is like a copper wall. It's a pity that it has entered the devil's way!"
"Now is not the time to sigh. All disciples should step back another ten feet and use all their strength to defend!"
At this time, Zhang Danyang had danced his long sword into a windmill, like a golden shield, dazzling like the sun in the sky. When the sky thunder came, the silver light suddenly appeared, the force rebounded and deflected, there was a loud noise, and the Zhu Bifeng was cut off in half.
Then the sound wave arrived and collided with the golden shield. The sound resounded throughout the world. The disciples with weaker skills were shocked to the point where they bleed from their orifices and fainted to the ground.
The Tianshi Sword could not withstand the huge force and broke into pieces, falling into dust. Shan Yang vomited blood and fell from the air like a projectile, making a big crater on the ground.
Shan Yifei stepped forward and stuffed a pill into his mouth, "Junior brother, don't hold on, take Junior Sister Yu and run away quickly, maybe you can avoid the catastrophe."
Shan Yang shook his head and said, "It's useless. Since God's will is this, I will fight against God to the end and never back down." He pushed Shan Yi away and struggled to stand up.
In the distance, Old Qin Tou sighed, "My perseverance is as strong as a rock, and my courage is commendable. It's just that the attack I just ran out of power, and I can't escape the ending of my soul being shattered."
Shan Yang faced the hunting gale, looked up at the sky, and suddenly remembered his master's words: "Life is long and full of hardships. It is inevitable that there will be a time to give up everything and fight for it..."
His hair was tied up, purple light flashed around his body, and the purple veins on his arms and face became brighter and brighter, converging towards the top of his head, as if they were about to explode at any moment. The trees and gravel beside him were lifted up by the huge force, rising like a tornado.
The Celestial Master's expression changed greatly, "What kind of spell is this?"
Old Qintou was also extremely surprised, "Back then, my ancestor Zhang Daoling was discussing Taoism with Gui Guzi, and he said that he had written a new scripture called the 'Four Souls Sutra', which records the methods of refining, casting, moving and burning souls." Guiguzi thought it was against moral standards and did not agree with it, so he sealed the scriptures. Looking at Zhang Danyang's method, it is clear that it is a soul-burning technique."
At this time, Shan Yang's skill had reached its peak, and his whole body was surrounded by purple flames, and his hair and beard were all ablaze. He used his innate energy to transform into a giant sword that held up the sky, pointing at the sky with great pride.
At this moment, Old Qintou's eyes suddenly became moist, "Dare to fight against the sky, fearless of life and death, you are truly a good man of my Longhu Mountain!"
When the dark clouds rose again, Shan Yang knew that the last moment had come. He whispered to himself: "Father, it's time for you to leave! Although you are guilty, it is all because of cause and effect. You can go to the underworld's 'Reincarnation Pool' to wash away your demonic nature and then enter reincarnation again." ."
When the black soul shadow left, he lowered his head to look at the treasure bag at his waist, and suddenly his eyes were filled with tears: "Cheng'er, you are my eternal love. I will destroy both body and soul. I will give up everything just to keep you safe. I will never regret it." !”
After finishing his confession, he held the sky-high sword and turned into a stream of purple light, which collided with the fallen lightning. The light splashed and pierced the sky. The light and sound waves of the explosion spread around, houses collapsed, rocks and trees turned into powder, waterfalls stagnated, and clear rivers poured back, as if the end of the world was coming...
The dark clouds parted and light rain fell. The "World Treasure Bag" turned into dust and smoke in the explosion. Yu Cheng curled up and slowly fell from the air. Shan Yi jumped up and hugged her into his arms. Yu Cheng struggled to break free and shouted: "Shan Yang, where are you?"
Shan Yi choked with sobs and said: "Junior brother blocked the disaster of thunder for you, but there are no bones left and your soul is gone!"
Yu Cheng burst into tears, shouted heartbreakingly, and then fainted...
Everyone dispersed, the moon rose, and Shangqing River returned to calm. There is a man in white clothes and long sleeves, standing under the moon, with a somewhat lonely figure. "Everyone knows that Cheng'er is going through the catastrophe, but now it seems that you are the one who is really going through the catastrophe! Fortunately, I took action in time to help you. The heavenly catastrophe has passed, but the world's catastrophe has not yet been completed. Old friends will take care of themselves..."

She dominated the world with her "dazzling" golden light, and later took charge of the Ziqing Palace, becoming the only female hall master in a century. She gave birth to a son named Zhang Zhenyang, who inherited a metallic constitution, reached the peak of "Yu Shi" golden light, and later succeeded the position of Heavenly Master. He was a famous grandmaster in the world.
