Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1724 Asura Doesn't Fight Asura
Lü Yue ran ahead, while Dizang's disciples chased after him.

The one running in front didn't dare to make a sound, and those chasing behind were also a little nervous.

Lu Yue was once a Golden Immortal, but he died and was listed on the list. Using his divine body to cultivate the immortal path can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

The Plague Path doesn't actually have a high demand for external spiritual materials. The various suppressions and surveillance from the phoenix are just uncomfortable and won't affect the path. When Lü Yue has nothing to do, he can just pick up some discarded furnace slag, get some leftovers that others don't want, mix them up, and then use them after some random combinations.

However, the path of plague has been abruptly cut short, which is truly devastating.

Lu Yue had been secretly working hard and had only just reached the peak of True Immortal. He could escape on his own, but if he took Hu Lei along as a burden, his speed would be too slow.

The two sides fled and pursued, traveling over a million miles. When they passed through a dark mountain valley, something astonishing happened to both sides. After a sharp shriek, countless magical spells rained down from both sides of the valley. Judging from the overwhelming momentum, it was clear that both sides were going to be wiped out.

Lü Yue was almost laughing in anger.

He muttered a couple of curses in the elegant language of the Jie Sect. Damn it, I haven't been out in the primordial world for hundreds of years. Now that I've finally come out to commit a crime, why is it so difficult?

The disciples of Ksitigarbha are monks disguised as Taoist priests. No matter how well they disguise themselves, they will be exposed as soon as they use magic.

The guys in this mountain valley are Taoist priests disguised as monks. They each hold a staff and prayer beads, and have shaved heads, looking quite like monks, but what they can use is all Taoist Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

They adapted to the local conditions and set up a simple thunder array. The reason it was simple was that it did not involve their own fundamentals. Outsiders could not see anything special about this array. It was just a common array routine.

If the target of the attack were a real Asura, they might be wiped out by a wave of divine lightning. But whether it's Lü Yue or the disciples of Ksitigarbha, the bloodlust on their bodies is just a disguise. In essence, they are still from the Jie Sect and Buddhism.

Leifa's ability to harm them is very limited.

Lü Yue didn't care whether they were monks disguised as Taoists or Taoists disguised as monks; all he knew was that they were all enemies.

He charged out of the minefield first, paying only for his right hand and neck to be charred. Hu Lei clung tightly to Bo Xun's memorial tablet, his injuries quite severe, and he was on the verge of fainting.

"Charge!" Ignoring the ambush, Lü Yue led Hu Lei and charged out of the divine thunder array in the mountain valley.

The Buddhist disciples were all quite strong defensively. Most of the divine lightning was drawn away by the first to stick his neck out, Lü Yue, so the Ksitigarbha disciples were basically unharmed. They assumed that the ambush was set up by Lü Yue, so without thinking, they maintained their blood mist-covered appearance and continued to chase after Lü Yue.

Standing atop the mountain pass, Tieguai Li was completely bewildered. They had no intention of impersonating Bo Xun's son, but Bo Xun's son was a crucial pawn for Duobao in his conquest of the Blood Sea and ultimately his attainment of the Primordial Chaos. The more others desired something, the less they could allow him to have it.

They came to kill Mara's son, but things took an unexpected turn.

Lü Dongbin and Han Zhongli were not present; Tieguai Li brought only the elite of the Daoist sect, and the group also included two disciples of the Old Immortal of Nanhua.

Although he couldn't understand why these Asuras could break through the divine lightning, he could only conclude that the Asura race had unique defensive techniques. Since their side had already exposed the fact that they were wearing monk robes and using Taoist magic, there was nothing more to say. Let's chase them! Kill all the witnesses, and we won't be considered exposed.

The teachings of the Human Sect are profound and extensive, including the ability to simulate the characteristics of other people's spells. Lü Yue and the disciples of Ksitigarbha need to specifically learn the Blood Sea Secret Technique, while Tieguai Li and the others don't need to learn it; they can simply simulate it using their own spells. Lü Yue led Hu Lei in the lead, with more than ten disciples of Ksitigarbha dressed in Taoist robes chasing behind, and more than ten Taoists carrying Zen staffs at the rear.

As they rushed into a swamp, the originally blood-red sun was suddenly blocked by some kind of banner-like magical artifact, making it pitch black within a radius of 100,000 miles. It was unclear whether this was the third or fourth attack, but it arrived as expected.

Zhong Wuyan, in a high-pitched, sinister voice, said, "You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, you barge into hell when there's no gate to it! Hehehehe! Minions, that son of Mara has reached the end of his lifespan, give him to me... sigh?"

Zhong Wuyan was completely bewildered. How could there be so many people under her banner? Looking at their blue faces, fangs, and crimson bodies, they all resembled the Asuras from the Blood Sea. The question was, were any of Mara's sons among them? With so many participants, what should she do? Kill them all?

As elites from Fengdu Mountain, they also possessed the Blood Sea Secret Technique. Zhong Wuyan brought the largest number of people, a full five hundred. Most importantly, they were well-trained. As soon as the darkness obscured their vision, the five hundred elites launched an attack from all directions.

"Who ambushed me?!"

"Get lost! Amitabha! May the Three Pure Ones protect you!"

"Nephew! Are you still alive? Call out, and your grand-uncle will come to save you!"

Chaos reigned beneath the cover of darkness. The men sent by Ksitigarbha and Xuandu were all highly skilled. Despite being blind and having their spiritual senses suppressed to within a three-foot radius, they were able to protect themselves before searching for their teammates and eliminating the enemy.

Lu Yue possesses wide-area destructive magic, which should have put him in a very advantageous position in this situation. However, Hu Lei has become separated from him, and finding this grandson amidst the chaos of a battle involving hundreds of people is proving to be quite a difficult task.

"Open!" Tieguai Li was still somewhat immobile. The swamp was pitch black, and he couldn't tell whether the people around him were his own or his enemies. He had no choice but to use a Taoist spell to break the barrier and try to tear open the black curtain above his head.

Little did they know that many things from Fengdu Mountain had been refined by Deng Chanyu, making them of top-notch quality.

Tieguai Li's seemingly inevitable strike did not achieve its full effect, only tearing open a corner and allowing a sliver of light to penetrate the swamp.

With the help of the dim light, everyone was finally able to see their surroundings.

Everyone looked like a mud monkey, and everyone was covered in a thick aura of blood.

The monks held their whisks like swords, and the Taoists brandished their staffs like great sorcerers in Western fantasy casting spells—it was all a bizarre and incongruous sight.

Zhong Wuyan whistled, and this time the elite troops from Fengdu heard her clearly, retreating like a tide.

The light grew stronger and stronger. The monk with the whisk found his fellow disciples and quietly left, while the Taoist priest with the staff gathered around Tieguai Li and fled in another direction.

Today's conflict came about strangely; they need to go back and report to the big boss behind the scenes before deciding on their next move.

In the end, only Lü Yue was left at the scene. He was completely bewildered. Where was Hu Lei? Where was the memorial tablet for Mara? Neither alive nor dead. The operation had turned into this mess. How was he going to explain this to Duobao when he got back?!
