Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 223

The Three Realms Rock, the Guiyuan Dao Alliance, has arrived with great force. The Dao Venerable's successor, the Heavenly Dao Master, has suppressed the Daoist elder, Nanming Daozhen, in an attempt to prove the orthodoxy of the Daoist sect.

Faced with the provocation of the Heavenly Dao Lord, Zhao Mu Zun could no longer tolerate it and challenged the Dao Lord of the Dao Sect!
"Whether you are truly a disciple of the Daoist Master or not, the Martial Arts Court is not one you can challenge. Today, Venerable Zhaomu will learn from you!"

"This is exactly what I wanted. Let's settle this with one battle. If I win, the Martial Arts Court will respect me!"

"If I win, the Guiyuan Dao Alliance will also obey the orders of the Martial Arts Court."

"Can!"

With a shout of "Yes," a shout of "Fight," and a shout of "I agree," the Heavenly Dao Lord emerged from the palanquin in an instant, and Zhao Mu Zun leaped into the air. In mid-air, the purple and golden lights clashed violently, thus beginning the prelude to the battle!

Master!

In the exchange of blows, Zhao Muzun was secretly amazed by the profound foundation of the Heavenly Dao Lord. The Panlong Pearl in his hand condensed and changed the clouds and mist. Within the cloud illusion, a sharp golden blade appeared, like a Qilin riding the clouds and mist. It was the Cloud Dragon Slash!
Give it your all!

As the dragon in the clouds revealed its sharpness, the Heavenly Dao Lord remained calm and composed. Zhao Mu Zun took a step forward, his body like golden thunder roaring through the sky. He gripped his sword, swung it, and displayed his full power.

Faced with the intense killing intent, the Heavenly Dao Master slightly raised his hands, and his Dao Yuan surged around him, transforming into a protective barrier in front of him.

As Yunlong slashed through the clouds, Zhaomu Zun intensified his true energy, and the blade's sharpness became endless, crashing into the Heavenly Dao Lord's protective barrier.

A violent collision rang out, the blades clashing against the Dao Yuan. In the instant of stalemate, Zhao Mu Zun pointed his fingers at the blade, and the Cloud Dragon Slash gathered its power again, intending to advance inch by inch.

However, no matter how much Zhao Muzun urged his energy, the Heavenly Dao Lord's body shone with brilliant purple light, and despite Zhao Muzun's best efforts, the divine weapon could not advance even an inch.

"The master of the Six Extremes Heavenly Bridge is nothing special!"

With a cold, mocking remark, the Heavenly Dao Master concentrated his power in his palm and forcefully countered.

With a heavy palm strike, Zhao Muzun slid back more than ten steps, his cold eyes fixed on the person, a look of coldness flashing across his face.

"If this is all you are capable of, then this battle ends here!"

"Hmph, you haven't truly witnessed the abilities of Zhao Muzun yet!"

Despite his inner fear, Zhao Muzun's words remained sharp. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, flashed forward, and pressed forward again.

In the blink of an eye, the blade sliced ​​through the air, its speed reaching its limit, attempting to break through the Dao Yuan shield with an extreme move.

"Cloud Dragon Sky-Slaying Blade!"

The Dao Yuan surged, and with the same result, the invisible Qi shield blocked the blade's edge, providing absolute defense. Even if Zhao Mu Zun exerted all his strength, he would find it difficult to break through.

"A pointless farce!"

The Heavenly Dao Lord snorted coldly. Amidst the flickering of light, the Cloud Dragon Slash rebounded with unprecedented force, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Um?!"

Having prepared in advance, Zhao Muzun was no longer in such a sorry state as before. With a stomp of his foot, his figure vanished instantly, displaying his superior movement technique as he swung his sword to attack again.

Extremely fast, extremely fast, extremely skillful. When I came to my senses again, I saw countless afterimages flashing across the sky, and one after another, blade beams fell from all directions.

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the surrounding area. Superior martial arts, an extraordinary foundation, and power several times greater than before—no less than a hundred strikes were unleashed in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Dao Lord withstood the blades, his invisible aura completely blocking their sharpness. Even with all his techniques, Zhao Mu Zun could not budge the Dao Lord in the slightest. The battle had reached a point where everyone on the battlefield was astonished. Those with the discerning eyes of Fa Wuwu, Nanming Daozhen, Tan Wuyu, and Yingluo Yeti could naturally see that Zhao Mu Zun's origins were extraordinary; his techniques were all orthodox Daoist, indicating a lineage of masters. However, even with Zhao Mu Zun's exceptional foundation and techniques, the Heavenly Dao Lord remained confident of victory, and had not yet used his full strength.

"Your abilities are not bad, but unfortunately, this is all you can do!"

His powerful words revealed the arrogance of the Heavenly Dao Master. With a deep shout, the power of the Dao Yuan surged rapidly. A muffled sound echoed between heaven and earth, and unprecedented power suddenly erupted.

The terrifying power devoured the blade's edge. The Daoist Master's Dao Yuan, mixed with strange forces, suddenly spread out. In the instant that Zhao Muzun was sent flying backward, the Daoist Master seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and struck again with his palm. Zhao Muzun's figure flew backward, and the outcome of the battle between the two was decided!

Above, the figure of the Heavenly Dao Lord slowly descended. On the Three Realms Rock, his aura pressed down on all directions, and the shouts from the Guiyuan Dao Alliance were earth-shattering.

"The outcome is decided, what else do you have to say!" The Heavenly Dao Master swept his gaze across the crowd.

"Ah." Zhao Muzun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, but he still clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Your Excellency is extraordinary. Under your leadership, the Martial Arts Court will surely be able to fulfill its mission even better."

Fa Wuwu looked at the Heavenly Dao Lord with hostility, "Your Excellency, such behavior is likely contrary to the original intention of establishing the Public Court."

"The world is in chaos, and demons are rampant. Since the Martial Arts Court intends to uphold justice, how can it succeed with just words?" The Heavenly Dao Master replied with his hands behind his back, "Only with sufficient strength can the Martial Arts Court's mission be fulfilled."

"With your abilities, why would you need our support?" Yingluo Yeti said sarcastically. "Just now, your divine might was enough for you to wipe out the Demon Realm and retrieve the five divine artifacts all by yourself."

"If you are unwilling, you may disperse." The Heavenly Dao Lord disdained those who sought fame and fortune, such as Yingluoyati, Fawuwu, and Nanming Daozhen, and his gaze was fixed only on Zhaomu Zun.

Although Zhao Muzun is no match for him now, the strength he has shown is enough for him to offer to recruit him.

"Hmph, then we'll take our leave."

These people were all concerned with their reputation, and seeing that the Heavenly Dao Lord was so impolite, they naturally left one after another, and the Heavenly Dao Lord did not stop them.

At this moment, Zhao Muzun spoke up, saying, "Your Excellency, the public court has just been established, and it is precisely the time when it needs capable people..."

"A public court has no place for mediocre people," the Heavenly Dao Master said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Whether it's the martial arts public court or the Guiyuan Dao Alliance, what I need are truly exceptional talents."

"For example, Yue Caizi, since you've come this far, why not show yourself!"

……

……

Inside the pawnshop, a water mirror reflected the struggle between the Three Realms Rock. Li Xuanxiao stared in astonishment at the scene in the water mirror. The Heavenly Dao Lord's early entry into the world and his high-profile appearance at the Three Realms Rock meant that the influence of the three religions on the martial arts world was no longer limited to the Wansheng Rock side. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Lord's combat power after the transaction with the pawnshop was no less than that of the Holy Venerable One Step Lotus.

The Guiyuan Dao Alliance under the leadership of the Heavenly Dao Master, along with half of the Martial Arts Court, plus Tan Wuyu who is about to be forcibly recruited...

As for whether Tan Wuyu would join, Li Xuanxiao had no doubt about it. After all, Tan Wuyu was also a hero, and even if Tan Wuyu wasn't a hero, the Heavenly Dao Master would always find a way to make him one.

"Ok?"

Just then, a wind chime rang out, and a name appeared above Youjian Pawnshop. Li Xuanxiao was not surprised to see this name.

At this point, it is only natural for this person to appear. As the situation changes, there will always be people who find it hard to restrain themselves and want to take the initiative.

And he, naturally, was happy to see it happen.
