Chapter 303: The Taoist with Iron Umbrella
The green light of Su Chen was held up by the rosy clouds, and then pink mist flew over, trying to stick to the object with the magic of [Yin and Yang Combination].

It was obvious that Liu Xue valued this treasure very much and wanted to take this opportunity to get it into her hands.

Chu Tai looked nonchalant and simply threw out an object. It turned into two golden lights in the air and condensed into a dragon with its head and tail connected together, like a giant pair of scissors, pointing at Liu Xue.

Liu Xue's hair stood on end, and a sense of danger made him react immediately, but the golden light was even faster, and he could not avoid it in time and could only wave the whisk in his hand and use the magic weapon to block it.

Wisps of pink smoke were easily separated under the golden light, and the extremely thin strands of light inside were also easily cut off. The criss-crossing and densely packed gauze woven into a net was instantly cut open with a big hole.

At the same time, the whisk in Liu Xue's hand broke into two pieces, and her long sleeves turned into fragments all over the sky, flying around like butterflies.

Liu Xue, with a visible wound on her arm, looked at Chu Tai with a ferocious expression.

He was quite surprised in his heart, as he had already seen that Chu Tai was using the dragon-cutting scissors.

But as far as he knew, this treasure should be a secret of the Emei Sect, or only a few people related to the Emei Sect knew how to refine it. Why would this person in front of him, who was suspected to be a disciple of the Taiyi lineage, use such a treasure?

Liu Xue, who couldn't figure it out, didn't dare to be careless. She opened her mouth and spit out a breath of true Qi. The flying knives around her shone brightly, each emitting a ray of light, and many more knife lights, pieces of peach blossoms, filling the four directions.

The Taoist priest made hand gestures and pulled, the peach blossoms in the sky turned into a long rainbow and fell down. He then used the peach petals to cover himself, exhaled a breath of true Qi, and holding up a treasure mirror of wind and moon, he conjured up a phantom that overlapped with himself.

With the light of the sun and the moon flashing in his eyes, Chu Tai chuckled as he clearly saw the other party's hidden tricks.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the void. A point of clear light flew out and in the blink of an eye it turned into an acre of cloud, holding up a jade screen of mountains and rivers.

The screen turned in the air, and the energy of mountains and water rose from it, transforming into an illusory landscape, covering the sky full of peach blossoms.

The mountain transformed by the mountain energy shook, the peach blossoms scattered, and one hundred and forty-four peach blossom flying knives appeared.

Then the surging river water rolled and fell on the flying knife. With a series of crackling sounds, the peach blossom flying knife turned into the five elements of essence and dissipated into peach blossoms all over the sky. It scattered into the screen and became a peach forest.

After two magic weapons were broken in succession, Liu Xue realized the problem and didn't dare to continue fighting. Pink smoke surged from her body, rushing and gushing like a flood, covering the Jinfeng Temple from top to bottom in the blink of an eye.

Chu Tai did not dare to be careless when he saw this scene. The information given by the librarian before he came here clearly described that Liu Xue was good at an evil technique which she herself called the Magical Method of Confusion and Harmony.

Its foundation is the magic method of turning the universe upside down and confusing immortals that he learned from Mount Wutai, but Liu Xue did not learn it well, so he removed the most difficult essence of the universe and supplemented it with his own method of collecting and replenishing. Although the final product lacks the ability to turn the universe upside down and confuse everything, it also has the special power to confuse the yin and yang of the world, influence other people's minds from a distance, make people's souls upside down, mentally disordered, and steal their essence and energy without knowing it.

Although Chu Tai himself is not afraid, if he lets it go, the many Taoist children below, and even the people of the entire Yu Lu County, will become his hostages.

Chu Tai, who understood this, pointed at the jade screen of mountains and waters and mobilized the two energies of mountain and water to hold back the falling pink mist.

Then his palms caught fire, and pure yang energy containing the true fire of the sun transformed into blooming fire lotuses, burning the mist with crackling sounds and emitting wisps of green smoke. In an instant, a strange smell enveloped the surroundings, like a place where grains are reincarnated, or a place where flesh and blood are slaughtered. The fishy and foul smells were intertwined, making people feel nauseous at the smell.

Then, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and grabbed, and the earth veins and energy around him rolled, generating phantoms of mountains, which smashed towards Liu Xue.

Before the mountain fell, [Mountains and Rivers] had already taken a step forward and merged with the aura of the mountains and rivers below Liu Xue. The shadows of numerous mountains emerged, forming a thousand-layer barrier. This was exactly the Yunni Qianchongzhang technique that Chu Tai had learned in the past.

When it was performed at this moment, it was three times more exquisite than what was originally recorded in the jade slip.

Surrounded by thin clouds and mist, blessed by the power of [Mountain and River], a jade screen followed, suppressing the surrounding void and sealing the changes of vital energy.

Faced with this kind of attack, Liu Xue let out a sharp scream that was clearly feminine, followed by a rapid male voice.

Then, the two voices changed back and forth, and talismans of different sizes flew up from above his head, interweaving with each other and turning into a mist, hanging in the air like a waterfall. With a slight shake, they spread outwards, dyeing the virtual shadow of the mountain with a pink color, and then a greasy sweet fragrance filled the surroundings.

This method was still the wonderful method of confusing the immortals and bringing them together that he had practiced, but unlike his previous magical powers, this was a magic weapon refined with the essence and energy that he had stolen in the past.

This treasure is a companion item to the wonderful method of reversing the confusion and harmony of the immortals, and it is also the embodiment of his method of cultivation. For Liu Xue, refining this treasure is to cultivate supernatural powers, and cultivating supernatural powers is to polish magic power.

From a certain perspective, this treasure is his most essential thing, and taking it out at this moment is a life-or-death struggle.

But this treasure has only made some progress and has not yet been fully refined. After offering it up, Liu Xue still felt it was not enough, so she pinched her fingers and chanted a spell to attract the demon gods that symbolize the seven emotions and six desires among the secret demons in the heavens, and made these secret demons, which were invisible and formless, manifest in the mist as handsome men and beautiful women, all dressed in revealing clothes, trying to bewitch people.

At the same time, Chu Tai also realized that he and Liu Xue had also escaped outside through the fog, and the figure left behind was just the Fengyue Baojian he had released earlier.

The front of the treasure mirror was filled with a pink glow, which was hazy, unclear and inexplicable. However, once one focused carefully, one would see countless illusions of men and women, and if one was not careful one would fall into the world of enchantment it had created.

After this series of events, Chu Tai also figured out most of Liu Xue's methods. This guy himself achieved enlightenment through the method of collecting and replenishing energy. The reason why he could practice to his current level was largely due to his special physique and the yin and yang body that possessed both male and female characteristics.

Therefore, this guy is not good at fighting, and most of the tricks he knows are using tricks such as seduction, charm, guidance, and stealing.

Just like now, although he used many means, the essence was still confusion and theft.

The essence of releasing the mist is to confuse his vision. The existence of Fengyue Baojian further amplifies the illusion. Once he specializes in the illusion, he will steal his own Dharma intention and true Qi in the dark. At the very least, he can escape from this place before losing control.

"Everything is done to save lives..."

Chu Tai, who understood the opponent's methods, had a plan in mind. In fact, if he had not planned to act as a man from Yangmei Mountain, he could have easily solved the problem by using a few powerful magic weapons.

However, the few magic weapons he has on hand that can be used normally are either not very representative or are tainted with traces of foreign laws and principles. If they are used too much, they can easily be used to make trouble for others.

Therefore, Chu Tai's arrangement for the identity of Yangmei Shanren, in addition to strengthening his representative magic weapon, the landscape screen, by melting some natural treasures obtained from the Youkan Sect into it, he also gave him the dragon-cutting scissors obtained from the Emei Sect, to create the illusion that the Taiyi lineage was connected to each other.

Taoist Youkan also agrees with this idea.

He directly stated that the situation that the Taiyi lineage is facing now is too complicated, and taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters will be beneficial for Chu Tai to regain the sect's temple in the future.

For this reason, Taoist Youkan even gave Chu Tai a dragon ball kept in the sect, saying that he could use it to refine an external incarnation. In response, Chu Tai chose to refuse, saying that he already had a suitable identity and did not need to create one. Too many Taiyi disciples would easily reveal flaws.

Taoist Youkan did not force Chu Tai to do so. He only taught Chu Tai many mountain and water techniques, which greatly enriched the number of magical powers that Yangmei Shanren could display.

"For this situation, this magical power is quite suitable..."

Chu Tai spread out his five fingers, and a stream of ochre-yellow smoke rose into the air, forming a huge dark yellow hand several feet in size in mid-air, which swept around like a small mountain.

The power of 【Mountains and Rivers】 was bestowed upon it. With a move of his hand, the surrounding ground veins changed, making it difficult for people to move.

Liu Xue, who was hiding nearby, was affected by this and unconsciously slowed down a beat compared to usual. She was accidentally blown by the palm wind and fell down involuntarily in the clouds.

How could Chu Tai miss this opportunity? He swept over with Xuan Huang's big hand, reached out and grabbed him in his hand.

Liu Xue was terrified and begged for mercy.

Chu Tai stared at the hand seal that he had not yet released, and without waiting for him to shout a few times, he urged his magic power to close the five fingers of his big hand and clenched it tightly.

There was only a series of hair-raising squeezing sounds, and pink mist gushed out. It turned out that Liu Xue used the method of substitute to move the Fengyue Treasure Mirror to her position, and was crushed into powder instead of herself.

Chu Tai turned around and saw Liu Xue, with a terrified face, returning to her original position.

Seeing Chu Tai coming, Liu Xue, whose eyes were clear and not affected by the Fengyue Treasure Mirror at all, immediately begged for mercy, and at the same time a cry of surprise was heard in the air.

"Fellow Taoist, spare your life!"

"Stop it!"

Liu Xue was delighted when he heard that, but the next second, two golden rays passed by and he felt like half of his body was missing. It turned out that the Dragon-Cutting Scissors had cut off his physical body and yang spirit.

At the same time, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky and turned into an iron umbrella, standing three feet above the two broken bodies, emitting cold rays of light, which looked somewhat ridiculous.

"Asshole, I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

After the scolding, a black light came from afar and landed in front of Chu Tai. The light faded and a thin Taoist walked out.

He had a strange appearance, with red lips, a wide mouth, a big nose and sharp teeth, and skinny hands, one long and one short, with his five fingers so skinny that only skin and bones were left.

"It's really like a toad yawning. Who do you think you are that I have to listen to you?"

Chu Tai's words made the Taoist furious, but he seemed to have thought of something, and he suppressed his anger and grinned.

"It seems that I, your grandfather Iron Umbrella, have not been out for many years. How dare such an ignorant kid show off in front of me? It's really great!"

"If you know what's good for you, just accept your death and let me punish you. I might even let you go and give you a chance to reincarnate. Otherwise, I'll let you see my methods and let you know that it's a luxury to be annihilated physically and spiritually."

"Haha. I wondered who it was? Turns out to be the Taoist Priest Iron Umbrella of Mount Wutai."

Chu Tai looked the Taoist up and down with a look of disdain.

"I heard that you ignored the ban of Wutai Patriarch a few years ago and secretly practiced several magics, killing many lives, trying to use their flesh and blood to build the foundation of your fourth-grade celestial being. As a result, you were discovered and reported to Wutai Patriarch. After Wutai Taoist abolished your magic skills, he sealed you in the earth veins for more than 300 years, asking you to sort out the earth's energy, accumulate good deeds, and return them to all living beings to make up for it. Have you been released again? However, judging from your appearance, you have lived quite well these years, but your temper is still a little bad..."

When Chu Tai said the last sentence, he deliberately prolonged his tone, looked at the veins throbbing on the Taoist priest Tieshan's forehead, and sneered sarcastically.

"I am much better than you. If you are willing to die obediently, I don't have any punishment. At most, I can disperse your true energy and magic power, eliminate your Yin Shen body, and return you to your mortal form, and then send you to reincarnation. If you are in a good mood, I don't mind reciting a few mantras for you to transcend to the afterlife."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Tieshan was furious. Without caring about anything else, he flicked his sleeves and a black gas rose into the air, transforming into a giant hand ten feet long and about the size of an acre, which grabbed Chu Tai's head.

This method was obviously a repeat of the way Chu Tai dealt with Liu Xue before. This behavior made Chu Tai couldn't help but sneer and reached out his hand again.

The khaki smoke rose into the air again and transformed into a huge dark yellow hand to meet the target.

The two collided and were in a stalemate for a moment, and then, under the surprised gaze of the Taoist priest with the Iron Umbrella, his big hand seemed to encounter a sand castle made of sea waves and collapsed with a loud bang.

Chu Tai, who broke the opponent's magic, had mist surrounding his fingertips, pressing down slightly.

The Xuanhuang hand was also superimposed with the magical power of hiding behind thousands of mountains, and was blessed by the Dharma of [Mountains and Rivers]. Its power increased dramatically, and the hand itself became dozens of acres in size, covering the Taoist priest Iron Umbrella. Its five fingers contracted as if to crush him to death.

As a senior who has practiced for thousands of years, Taoist Iron Umbrella is experienced in combat. Although he miscalculated the strength and purity of his magic power, when the moment Xuanhuang's hand fell, he held up his famous magic weapon, the Iron Umbrella.

Above the umbrella, cold light rose and turned into a cloud of smoke. A huge hand of Xuanhuang fell on it. No matter how hard Chu Tai tried, it could not affect it at all.

"what?"

Chu Tai let out a surprised sound. Although he knew that this iron umbrella was not an ordinary protective treasure, he did not expect it to be so special. Its magical power was actually somewhat similar to the Miro Sky-covering Umbrella that Chu Tai had just acquired. Obviously, both were imitating certain methods of Taiyi Zhenjun.

After figuring this out, Chu Tai immediately gave up the idea of ​​breaking through the opponent's defense line in a short period of time.

As soon as Chu Tai relaxed a little, the Taoist with the Iron Umbrella immediately seized the opportunity, holding up the magic weapon, jumped out of the battle, looked at Chu Tai with a fierce look in his eyes, and released two black lights, hitting Chu Tai's chest and abdomen directly.

The battle against Liu Xue is finished in one go, so I won't split it up. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be additional chapters in the evening.
