The Gate Between Two Realms, from Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit to Fox Spirit Matchmaker

Chapter 98 The Gap Between Mortals and Prodigies

Seeing his magic weapon so easily shattered, Xiao Tianhao's expression turned extremely ugly.

He couldn't believe that Rainbow Cat's strength had changed so much in such a short time.

It's worth noting that during his last encounter with Rainbow Cat, he didn't even consider hunting down this little monster.

But now, Rainbow Cat has not only comprehended the sword intent, but his cultivation level has even surpassed that of Xiao Tianhao.

"This is impossible..."

"How much time has passed? How could he have become so powerful..."

Xiao Tianhao looked at his slightly trembling hands, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Like Li Muchen, he was just an ordinary scion of a prominent family in the Dao Alliance.

Without a privileged family background or exceptional talent, all he could rely on was money and magical artifacts.

Even though he possessed better and more powerful magical treasures, his resolve began to waver.

Xiao Tianhao knew very well what kind of person Li Muchen was; he wouldn't bother with another person if there was no profit to be gained.

Therefore, there must be something about Rainbow Cat that attracts Li Muchen.

What exactly this so-called attraction was, Xiao Tianhao hadn't understood or knew before.

Now that he saw Rainbow Cat's cultivation level, he understood.

That's Rainbow Cat's talent, a talent no less than that of the Golden Generation.

The reason why Qingmu Mountain took in Hongmao was not because of Li Muchen, but because of Hongmao himself, because Zhang Zheng recognized Hongmao's talent.

"The Golden Generation is one thing, but why can such a guy appear among the demon race?"

Xiao Tianhao took a deep breath. He had already inquired and learned that Rainbow Cat had joined Tushan.

He was even a direct disciple of Tu Shan Rongrong, the third leader of Tu Shan.

He wasn't afraid of killing Rainbow Cat, nor was he afraid of Tu Shan holding him accountable. The Xiao family had offended far too many demons, so they weren't afraid of adding another Tu Shan to the mix.

But the real issue is that Xiao Tianhao himself wasn't confident he could kill Hongmao.

"Xiao Tianhao, get lost."

Zhang Zheng, along with Aoki Yuan, flew to a location not far away.

Looking at the large group of dozens of people, his eyes were filled with disdain.

"You can't kill him, not even me."

"Killing him won't be an easy task."

"Don't let the hatred spread further. Those who have nothing to do with the Xiao family should leave first."

"As for the Xiao family, the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion was never meant to exist, so its destruction is no loss."

Aoki Hime's words also made her stance clear.

They all belong to the Dao Alliance, that's true, but the Golden Generation is used to doing things their own way.

The two, who considered Rainbow Cat a friend, not only wanted to protect him but also didn't want Rainbow Cat to completely break ties with the Dao Alliance.

"Thank you both."

"Today, Rainbow Cat will not harm a single member of the Dao Alliance, but the Xiao family members must not be spared."

Rainbow Cat also gave Aoki Hime and Zhang Zheng a good look.

He understood that many cultivators in the Dao Alliance were perhaps forced to come, and he did not want to harm innocent people.

But the Xiao family is absolutely unforgivable and cannot be let off the hook.

Those who do wrong should be punished, just as he killed the demons because they had committed acts that aroused the wrath of both gods and men.

The Xiao family is the same today.

"How arrogant!"

"Today, let me, Xiao Tianhao, see just what you're capable of!"

Xiao Tianhao's expression changed slightly as he watched the cultivators who had accompanied him from the Dao Alliance gradually depart.

He no longer intended to hold back and pulled out a palm-sized compass from his pocket.

This is also his most powerful magic weapon, which he bought from Li Quzhuo at a high price.

"Be careful, that was done by Li Quzhuo."

"It is called the Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Plate, which contains the Wen family's Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder and Yang Yitan's Heavenly Eye Divine Power."

"The user can briefly use the Heavenly Eye Divine Power and control the Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder."

Zhang Zheng frowned slightly. He was closest to Li Quzhuo and recognized the magic weapon at a glance.

Initially, Li Quzhuo intended to give this magical artifact to Zhang Zheng, but Zhang Zheng refused.

This gave Xiao Tianhao the opportunity to buy it at a high price.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhang, but Rainbow Cat doesn't want to involve anyone today."

"Brother Zhang and Miss Aoki, please step back a little."

Rainbow Cat nodded, feeling somewhat touched.

Zhang treated him with nothing but sincerity. He not only taught him sword intent but also disregarded his status and treated him as a friend.

It can be said that Rainbow Cat was the first friend besides Li Muchen after he came to the Dao Alliance.

"Zhang Zheng, I will truthfully report today's events to the Dao Alliance."

"Even if you are a descendant of the Zhang family, this matter will not be resolved so easily."

"Open the Heavenly Eye!"

Xiao Tianhao was surprised to see that Zhang Zheng, who had always looked down on him, was actually so concerned about Hongmao.

He was also very dissatisfied, that a mere demon was being treated like this.

At this moment, Xiao Tianhao unleashed his full spiritual power, completely immersing himself within the compass.

Purple lightning began to travel continuously across Xiao Tianhao's entire body, and a golden light also shone on his forehead.

As the golden light faded, a vertical eye appeared on Xiao Tianhao's forehead.

The oppressive aura emanating from those vertical eyes even made Rainbow Cat tremble with fear.

"Is this the Yang family's Heavenly Eye Divine Power?"

"As expected of the Dao Alliance's top divine ability."

Rainbow Cat was somewhat shocked when he saw that vertical eye.

But his expression didn't show any fear; on the contrary, he seemed eager to try.

"Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder, Yang Family Heavenly Eye."

"It seems this battle is destined to be a tough one."

Aoki Yuan looked at Xiao Tianhao not far away and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

As a member of the golden generation, she naturally knew the power of these two supernatural abilities.

The Yang family's Heavenly Eye goes without saying. The Wen family, as a prestigious family on par with the Wang family and the Yang family, has not produced any particularly talented individuals in this generation.

However, their Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder is, apart from the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire Pure Yang Flame, the most powerful method to subdue demons, and the nemesis of all evil spirits under heaven.

"If Yang Yitan himself were to come, he would indeed be in a very difficult situation."

"But an imposter won't pose any threat."

"At most, it's only about 30% or 40% of Yang Yitan's cultivation level."

Zhang Zheng and Yang Yitan had fought before, and both of them had gone all out.

That time, Zhang Zheng almost lost his life, but he also figured out Yang Yitan's true strength.

He believed that Rainbow Cat could not possibly die at the hands of Yang Yitan, who only possessed 30-40% of his cultivation.

"That's true. You're probably the one who knows Yang Yitan's strength best."

"Among the Golden Generation, you've probably fought everyone except Li Zizai and me, right?"

"I'm really curious, but you won't tell me who you've lost to."

Aoki Hime then smiled and looked at Zhang Zheng.

Everyone knows that since Zhang Zheng mastered the sword intent, he has been challenging strong opponents everywhere.

The Golden Generation was naturally among them, but few people knew who won or lost in the match between Zhang Zheng and the Golden Generation, and Zhang Zheng himself never said so.

"I lost to Yang Yitan and Wang Quanbaye."

"Li Zizai, we can't find him, we don't know him, but no one else has ever lost."

Zhang Zheng calmly recounted his battle record.

This alone is enough to shock many people, after all, Zhang Zheng's challengers are either well-established masters or prodigies.

At this moment, Rainbow Cat also began to fight Xiao Tianhao.

Xiao Tianhao briefly activated his Heavenly Eye, and his entire aura changed.

The Yang family's Heavenly Eye can observe the enemy's aura and anticipate their moves.

A simple test from the two made Rainbow Cat realize the wonder of the Heavenly Eye.

"What incredible supernatural power! It's as if he anticipated every single one of my sword strikes."

"Moreover, the Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder is also extremely troublesome."

Rainbow Cat frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Tianhao in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

It possesses both offensive capabilities and extremely troublesome auxiliary means such as the "Heavenly Eye."

It must be said that Xiao Tianhao's current strength is absolutely no less than that of any demon king.

The fact that he could achieve this with only 30-40% of the Heavenly Eye made Hongmao even more curious about the character Yang Yitan.

"Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder, Break!"

Seeing that Rainbow Cat was being suppressed by him, Xiao Tianhao immediately decided to press his advantage.

This magical artifact is burdensome to use and has a time limit.

If he cannot defeat Rainbow Cat within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his spiritual power will be exhausted, leaving him at the mercy of others.

"A rainbow at sunset!"

A cold glint flashed in Rainbow Cat's eyes, and the Rainbow Sword lit up with a rainbow light, transforming into a long dragon that plunged straight down.

Even when faced with the onslaught of the Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder, it was not inferior in the slightest.

"boom!"

The two attacks collided, causing an explosion in mid-air, with blinding white light spreading from the center of the explosion.

Rainbow Cat immediately shielded his eyes from the blinding white light with his arm.

Xiao Tianhao, however, was not affected by the white light and his figure turned into a blur as he rushed straight towards Rainbow Cat.

Although the speed wasn't fast, the obstructed vision forced Rainbow Cat to raise his sword to defend himself.

"Clang!"

A clanging sound rang out, and Rainbow Cat couldn't help but retreat about ten meters.

Holding a long sword magic weapon, Xiao Tianhao charged at Rainbow Cat once again.

"Fire Dance of Flowing Light!"

Rainbow Cat took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his sword intent suddenly erupted.

This time, his sword intent was no longer just the fiery light manifested by sword energy, but also mixed with pure killing intent.

The sword is a weapon for killing. This idea resonated more and more with Rainbow Cat, and his swordsmanship matured further through his exchanges with Zhang Zheng.

The inner vision of sword intent at this moment is truly Rainbow Cat's sword intent.

The flow of that sword intent was like a rainbow piercing through the clouds and shining down.

Xiao Tianhao, who had originally planned to press his advantage, was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Having gained the ability to see beyond his clairvoyance, his cognitive abilities are now far more advanced than before.

One could tell at a glance that the surrounding world seemed to have changed.

It seemed as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was constantly flowing towards Rainbow Cat.

The weather changed dramatically. The glow of the sunset seemed to be warmly shining down on him, but the sense of crisis made Xiao Tianhao increasingly uneasy.

"Sword intent?"

"You've grasped the essence of swordsmanship?"

Xiao Tianhao wasn't blind; he immediately guessed that Rainbow Cat had comprehended sword intent.

Within the Dao Alliance, there are no more than five people who have comprehended the sword intent.

There's no need to elaborate on the exceptional talents like Zhang Zheng and Wang Quanba.

But he couldn't believe that a monster could have such talent.

"Indeed, but it is a pity that scum like you died under the Changhong Sword."

Rainbow Cat nodded, and the Rainbow Sword emitted a soft hum.

Suddenly, the colors around us changed, and the clouds in the sky turned into fiery clouds.

Behind the clouds, the sun's rainbow rays shone down; the midday sun, which should have been shining brightly, was now hidden in the rosy clouds.

Upon seeing the surrounding scenery, Xiao Tianhao's first reaction was that he had entered a fantasy world. A golden light immediately shone from his third eye on his forehead, as he tried to see through the illusion.

Unfortunately, the surroundings were not an illusion, but a reflection of Rainbow Cat's inner world.

It is a display of his sword intent, different from displaying sword intent using sword energy.

Everything around him was real, because of Rainbow Cat's power, which made the entire world cooperate with his sword intent.

"The Xiao family's Heavenly Immortal Pavilion is an outrage against Heaven, regardless of who the Xiao family is working for."

"But do you know how much cause and effect are involved in what you have done?"

"Therefore, no matter how many members of your Xiao family die, you will never be able to wash away your sins."

Rainbow Cat doesn't consider himself a savior or a great hero.

Everything he did was done in accordance with his own conscience.

A chivalrous person acts according to their heart; right is right, and wrong is wrong.

At this moment, Rainbow Cat's sword intent seemed to have materialized.

The Long Rainbow Sword pointed to the sky, and within that wisp of morning glow, a giant sword began to appear.

The giant sword, formed from countless rays of rainbow light, began to solidify into a physical form at this moment.

A terrifying killing intent and a sharp aura descended from the sky.

Those members of the Xiao family had never seen such a scene before; they were used to doing odd jobs.

I'm here today simply to bolster Xiao Tianhao's reputation.

Upon seeing the giant sword, their expressions turned extremely grim, and they immediately decided to scatter and flee.

But Rainbow Cat would never give them that opportunity.

Countless rainbows fell down, each one taking a life with it.

Watching the members of the Xiao family behind him die one by one, Xiao Tianhao's fear began to spread completely.

On his forehead, the Heavenly Eye that represented the Yang family was also shrouded in fear.

He couldn't believe that the person he had tried so hard to kill was someone who was on par with the Golden Generation.

Only at this moment did he understand why Li Muchen hated, envied, and was jealous of that group of people so much.

Because these people's talent and cultivation are something he needs to look up to.

He always used things that others looked down upon.

What he considered his best effort was probably still a joke in the eyes of Zhang Zheng and Qingmu Yuan, who were not far away.

He also understood that today it might not be that Rainbow Cat was forced to leave Greenwood Mountain, nor that Greenwood Yuan was forced to leave due to pressure from the Dao Alliance.

Rainbow Cat left Greenwood Mountain on his own. As for him, he was just a joke, a joke that could never compare to the Golden Generation.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Mu Chen, I finally understand what you're thinking."

"But I refuse to accept my fate!"

Xiao Tianhao laughed twice, but his eyes were filled with sorrow.

He had always believed that, relying on the Xiao family's wealth, he was able to catch up with those of the golden generation.

But today, he realized that what he had been thinking was nothing but wishful thinking, a lie he had woven for himself.
