The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 173 Gongming Battles Xiqi

Upon hearing Shi Mo mention Zhao Gongming's life, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but show anger.

“Senior brother, there’s no need to be angry! If Zhao Gongming had stayed peacefully on Mount Emei, who would have come to kill him? Since he chose to go through the tribulation, he has no say in his own life or death, so he can’t blame others,” Shi Mo said. Hearing this, Tongtian Sect Leader’s anger flared even more, but he couldn’t refute it.

"Don't worry, senior brother. My disciples would never plot to harm Zhao Gongming," Shi Mo continued. "After all, Binglian and Yunxiao have a good relationship."

“However, what Senior Brother Yuanshi’s disciples will do is beyond my control,” Shi Mo said in turn.

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's expression, which had just calmed down, turned quite unpleasant again.

Watching the Tongtian Sect Leader snort coldly and disappear, Shi Mo couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

"Is he already losing his temper? It seems that even without Duobao, he still values ​​Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao quite a bit."

"That's going to be interesting. He'll probably have to face off against Yuanshi ahead of schedule!" Shi Mo thought to himself, a look of great interest on his face.

"Let the sages fight! If you keep refusing to make a move, how can I possibly comprehend the most fundamental evolutionary mysteries of this primordial world?" Shi Mo murmured to himself, filled with anticipation.

For him, the battles and killings in this great calamity of the gods, even the clashes between saints and the struggle for the rise and fall of the fortunes of the Taoist and Buddhist sects in the East and West, were all irrelevant. The most important thing was his own cultivation.

For ordinary cultivators, the primordial world was already vast, but for saints it was like a prison. Shi Mo could never be satisfied with being trapped here forever.

Upon arriving at the Yin Shang army camp in Xiqi, Zhao Gongming saw Zhao Tianjun hanging from a reed shed outside the city and became even more enraged. The next morning, he rode his tiger to the outside of the reed shed.
“It’s Zhao Gongming. I never expected him to be so ignorant of fate,” Ran Deng shook his head slightly.

The Ice Lotus Fairy frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless: "Why is he getting involved?"

"Ju Liusun, come see me!" Zhao Gongming's angry shout came, and the Ice Lotus Fairy's expression softened slightly. Fortunately, this guy wasn't arrogant enough to directly provoke Randeng.

Ju Liusun, enraged, directly challenged Randeng to a duel. Did he think he was easy to bully?

Ran Deng nodded slightly, and then Ju Liusun angrily left the thatched hut to see Zhao Gongming.

Guang Chengzi and the other Jade Void Golden Immortals were not entirely at ease, so they all volunteered to go and keep watch.

After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Zhao Gongming's ability to become the top outer disciple of the Jie Sect is no ordinary feat!

"Ju Liusun, you are my master and I am your master. The Three Pure Ones are one family. Yet you have insulted my junior brother Zhao like this and even harmed my fellow disciples in Biyou. You are truly despicable! Today I will see what you are capable of," Zhao Gongming said, directly summoning the Dragon Binding Rope to capture Ju Liusun.

Ju Liusun's expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned the Immortal Binding Rope. The rope and cord intertwined in mid-air like a serpent. Zhao Gongming then rode his tiger and charged towards Ju Liusun, slamming his steel whip down hard.
Keng. Ju Liusun hurriedly swung his sword to block, but Zhao Gongming took out the Hunyuan Hammer and smashed it down, causing Ju Liusun to vomit blood and fall to the ground.

The Hunyuan Hammer is an offensive spiritual weapon similar to the Purple Lightning Hammer. It is extremely powerful, and when it strikes, the surrounding space is distorted into chaos, making it impossible to dodge.

Although the Hunyuan Hammer is only a high-grade innate spiritual treasure and its attack power is slightly inferior to the Tianfan Seal, the profound attack techniques it contains are incomparable to those of the Tianfan Seal.

"Zhao Gongming, stop your madness!" Guang Chengzi shouted and immediately unleashed the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Amidst the deafening roar, Zhao Gongming, who then unleashed the Hunyuan Hammer, witnessed the space tremble and the earth shake the moment the two terrifyingly powerful spiritual treasures collided.

Huanglong Zhenren wanted to take the opportunity to save the seriously injured Juliusun, but Zhao Gongming bound Juliusun tightly with his dragon-binding rope and took him away out of thin air.

Chi Jingzi flipped his hand and took out the Yin-Yang Mirror, shining it at Zhao Gongming. However, Zhao Gongming seemed oblivious and smashed the Hunyuan Hammer at him again.

At the same time, Guang Chengzi also unleashed the Heaven-Turning Seal to smash towards Zhao Gongming, but unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming used the bound Ju Liusun and Huanglong Zhenren as shields in front of him.

Guang Chengzi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly controlled the Heaven-Turning Seal to stop, but the Primordial Hammer still managed to send Chi Jingzi flying, before smashing towards Guang Chengzi.
Pfft. Caught off guard, Guang Chengzi also coughed up blood and fell to the ground, startling the other Jade Void Golden Immortals, whose expressions changed.

Then, the Taiyi Zhenren took out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and swung it fiercely at Zhao Gongming, instantly unleashing a raging inferno of flames.
"Haha. That's enough for today. We'll fight again another day." Zhao Gongming, who was already laughing, rode off on his tiger mount, taking Ju Liusun and Huanglong Zhenren with him.

After Guang Chengzi and the others returned to the thatched hut in a sorry state, Panwang Laozu couldn't help but say, "Even when you joined forces, you couldn't do anything to Zhao Gongming?"

"Hmph, if you're so capable, go and deal with that Zhao Gongming!" Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but say angrily.

Panwang Patriarch merely chuckled and closed his eyes without saying a word. His disdainful attitude only made the people of Yuxu feel more ashamed and angry.

"Senior sister, I'll go play with Zhao Gongming tomorrow!" Liu Er said, unable to contain himself.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow," the Ice Lotus Fairy said with a noncommittal smile.

That evening, Master Yuding quietly instructed Yang Jian to go to the merchant camp and rescue Ju Liusun and Master Huanglong, who had been hanging there.

The next day, Zhao Gongming came to challenge him again. On the reed shed, Ran Deng subconsciously looked at the Ice Lotus Fairy.

The Ice Lotus Fairy immediately ordered Six Ears to make a move, and Six Ears, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately flipped over and flew away.

"Zhao Gongming, why don't you cultivate in seclusion on Mount Emei? Why bother getting involved in this mess?" Liu Er asked Zhao Gongming, who was sitting on the tiger's back, with a grin.

Upon seeing Zhao Gongming with six ears, he frowned and said, "Six Ears, I know you have some skills, but I'm afraid you can't stop me."

"Is that so? We'll only know if we can stop him or not by trying," Liu Er said, swinging his Sui Xin Iron Rod at Zhao Gongming.

With a clang, Zhao Gongming, wielding his steel whip to parry, engaged in battle with Liu Er.
However, Zhao Gongming soon found himself in a somewhat disheveled and disadvantageous position. After all, when it came to head-on combat, Liu Er was the most skilled.

So, Zhao Gongming flipped his hand and took out the Hunyuan Hammer, then smashed it towards Liu Er.
With a muffled thud, Liu Er was sent flying backward, but immediately afterward, he grinned at Zhao Gongming, completely unharmed, and said, "What a heavy hammer!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Gongming snorted coldly, then summoned the Dragon Binding Rope and tightly bound Liu Er, who had not dodged.

But then, Liu Er twisted his body and transformed into a monkey hair.

"Hmm?" Zhao Gongming's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and at the same time, Liu Er's laughter rang out behind him: "Haha, I'm right behind you!"

Zhao Gongming, who had just turned around, was immediately struck by Liu Er's staff and collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood.

On the reed shed, Guang Chengzi and the other disciples of the Jade Void Sect were already dumbfounded. Suddenly, Guang Chengzi's eyes flashed and he flipped his hand to summon the Heaven-Turning Seal and smash it towards Zhao Gongming.

"Guang Chengzi, what are you doing?" Liu Er glared at the sight, because the suddenly enlarged Heaven-Turning Seal almost covered him as well.

Turning his head to look, Zhao Gongming hurriedly flipped his hand and summoned the Hunyuan Hammer. In the instant that he blocked the Tianfan Seal, Zhao Gongming used his escape technique to leave.

"Guang Chengzi, who gave you permission to make this move?" Liu Er asked angrily as he entered the reed shed.

“Sneak attacks and ambushes are not the actions of the righteous sects of the Xuanmen,” Ice Lotus Fairy also glanced at Guang Chengzi with her beautiful, cold eyes.

Guang Chengzi, his face flushed with embarrassment and anger, said, "Six Ears, I was trying to help you!"

"Do I need your help?" Liu Er scoffed. "If you hadn't made a move, I would have already captured Zhao Gongming. You're just making things worse by helping me."

Guang Chengzi was speechless for a moment, while Fairy Binglian said, "Brother Randeng, since you want to deal with Zhao Gongming yourself, then let's see what the junior brothers of Yuxu can do."

Upon hearing Ice Lotus Fairy's words, Randeng was speechless, and Chijingzi and the others also felt awkward, subconsciously looking at Guangchengzi.

Faced with the gazes of his fellow disciples, Guang Chengzi almost vomited blood. No, is it just me alone who's incapable? None of you have the ability to deal with Zhao Gongming!
The next day, Zhao Gongming came to challenge them again. Fairy Binglian and the others were unwilling to get involved, and Guang Chengzi and the others were unable to handle him. Feeling powerless, Randeng had no choice but to go and meet Zhao Gongming himself.

"Randeng, you are a guest of Zixiao Palace, a dignified Quasi-Saint, yet you disregard your status and meddle in the struggles of this mortal world," Zhao Gongming mocked Randeng.

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Ran Deng felt uneasy, but on the surface he smiled faintly and said, "Zhao Gongming, don't be so stubborn. Otherwise you will invite a calamity, and your million years of hard cultivation will be in vain. Then it will be too late to regret it."

"Hmph! Do you think my Jie Sect doesn't have any Quasi-Saint level experts?" Zhao Gongming said, directly unleashing the Hunyuan Hammer to smash towards Randeng.

Seeing this, his expression darkened slightly, and the lamp that appeared above his head with auspicious clouds also waved his hand to summon the Qiankun Ruler.

With a bang, the space itself was compressed and distorted the moment the Hunyuan Hammer and the Qiankun Ruler collided, and then the Hunyuan Hammer was thrown out.

With a muffled groan, Zhao Gongming caught the Hunyuan Hammer, his aura somewhat disordered.

Immediately afterwards, the Qiankun Ruler came crashing down on Zhao Gongming again, but Zhao Gongming blocked it with his Hunyuan Hammer. However, Zhao Gongming also trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating in a sorry state and using a teleportation technique to escape.

Ran Deng also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the reed shed. If Zhao Gongming had really fought him to the death, he would have been in a difficult position.

Zhao Gongming was, after all, a disciple highly regarded by the Tongtian Sect Leader. The Fairy Yunxiao seemed to have already severed her corpse and become a Quasi-Saint, and was even more of a prodigy with unfathomable cultivation. It was not worth it to make a great enmity with her because of Zhao Gongming.

On the other side, Zhao Gongming, who had fled back to the Yin Shang camp in a sorry state, went to the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea, hoping to ask his sister Yunxiao to help him get revenge.

When Yunxiao learned that Zhao Gongming had been injured by Randeng, he was furious, but he hesitated because he remembered that his teacher, the Tongtian Sect Leader, had instructed his disciples not to meddle in human conflicts.

"Yunxiao, you should go with Gongming and set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation that you created, so that your two senior uncles and disciples can see the power of the disciples of my Jie Sect," Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly instructed in a telepathic message just as Yunxiao was hesitating.
