Chapter 259: Stop Waving That Color-Changing Glow Stick in Your Hand

Chu Xingchen looked kindly at Zhang Daotan before him, while waving a spiritual energy sword that was not so friendly in his hand.

Although he was a mission target, Chu Xingchen was not sure if directly slaughtering this thing would be useful.

Zhang Daotan looked towards Yu Yang Daozi, who was currently battling a shadow clone.

He saw that Yu Yang Daozi had a grave expression, while Chu Xingchen’s shadow clone constantly let out sounds of sneers and disdain.

This drew out Yu Yang Daozi’s full firepower, causing him to attack with wild intensity.

Zhang Daotan chuckled lightly and asked, ”Heh... what do you want me to say? The Incense Fire God Way?”

Chu Xingchen said calmly, ”The Incense Fire God Way is just the surface. I am talking about the core. Did you take something you shouldn’t have?”

”Something I shouldn’t have?” Zhang Daotan laughed loudly upon hearing this. ”Then what is it that I am supposed to take? Or is it that only you people are allowed to take it?”

”Should great fortunes all be yielded to you people of the great Immortal Gates? Are we supposed to eat the leftover scraps that you disdain?”

”That goes for fortune! And for Divine Abilities too!”

Chu Xingchen looked at Zhang Daotan, who was somewhat hysterical:

”I have seen with my own eyes those people poisoned by your Incense Fire God Way. Their spiritual consciousness is nearly gone. You consider yourself high and mighty, and do not treat the lives of mortals as lives.”

”Yet now you demand that I treat you like a human and be fair with you?”

Zhang Daotan glared angrily, ”They agreed to it themselves! I also supported those villages.”

”Was it agreement, or did they have no choice but to agree?” Chu Xingchen’s expression remained calm. ”No one is completely clean. Even sages cannot be without self-interest, let alone me, who is no sage.”

”I don’t want to chat with you about these useless things. Now I only ask you one thing: where is it?”

”That naturally... requires you to come and take it personally!”

Zhang Daotan’s spiritual consciousness had been clinging tightly to the Light Prism Fragment from the very beginning. His wish power, mixed with spiritual energy, was also ready to strike at any moment, ensuring that he wouldn’t be instantly killed by these two monsters in a single move.

If there was a chance, he naturally didn’t want to take things to the final step.

But sometimes, opportunity itself is not something one should hope for.

Because opportunity doesn’t follow reason either.

Zhang Daotan’s wish power was activated throughout his body, and turbid yellow wish power shot straight into the sky.

An extremely pure Dao Rhyme gushed out from Zhang Daotan. The wish power quickly and instantly clung to Zhang Daotan’s entire body, propping him up.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xingchen was somewhat speechless. It wasn’t as if he absolutely had to take the guy’s life; why did everyone rush to insist on a fight?

Yu Yang Daozi, who was originally fighting intensely with the illusions and occasionally shouting ”Divine Art” to unleash big moves, paused his actions slightly and sent his spiritual consciousness to probe backwards.

”What’s wrong? Does Grandpa need to teach you a few more moves?” The shadow Chu Xingchen sneered and mocked.

Yu Yang Daozi no longer paid attention to Chu Xingchen in front of him who was speaking with mockery. Instead, he locked his gaze tightly on Zhang Daotan, although the Zhang Daotan before him still looked like a weakling.

However, a strange Dao Rhyme was coming from Zhang Daotan’s direction.

A very pure... pure to the point of being ridiculous Dao Rhyme was emanating.

Yu Yang Daozi instantly realized that he had fallen under an illusion. He no longer paid attention to the cursing and mocking sounds of Chu Xingchen behind him.

An illusion capable of concealing his spiritual consciousness to this extent could only be at the level of a Divine Ability.

This person also knows illusions at the level of a Divine Ability?!

Yu Yang Daozi had naturally learned how to deal with illusions. The Tai Chi beneath his feet extended infinitely outward, while a pale golden light flickered slightly in Yu Yang Daozi’s eyes.

A moment later, Yu Yang Daozi, who still couldn’t see through it, was convinced.

This person was truly versatile. Apart from mastering a Divine Ability and his own cultivation, he could also master a Divine Ability of this level.

This was the first time Yu Yang Daozi felt that this person’s talent... was perhaps a bit too ridiculously strong.

”Divine Art — Break Illusion!”

Yu Yang Daozi raised the wooden sword glowing with red light in his hand. Before he could personally slash open the illusion in front of him, the illusion automatically collapsed and shattered.

At this moment, the wish power surrounding Zhang Daotan was like rivers and seas, permeating the entire area.

Zhang Daotan’s expression was calm, and his aged gaze held neither sadness nor joy. His originally black pupils had now turned white.

Yu Yang Daozi frowned slightly. The current Zhang Daotan seemed like a different person, and the Dao Rhyme on his body was incomparably pure.

Before Yu Yang Daozi could confirm the situation, a familiar voice that had mocked him several times rang out.

”Stop waving that color-changing glow stick of yours. Come over and beat the boss first.”

Chu Xingchen stared intently at Zhang Daotan before him. In the system, his Orange Tag [Holding Slight Authority] had already turned into a Golden Tag [Authority Pollution].

Clearly, this thing, which looked like a negative tag, had likely buffed Zhang Daotan to a ridiculous level.

Yu Yang Daozi held the wooden sword in his hand and looked at Chu Xingchen and Zhang Daotan.

To be honest, frankly speaking, he didn’t really want to smack the not-quite-right Zhang Daotan right now; he wanted to smack Chu Xingchen more.

Although he didn’t know what a color-changing glow stick was, it was obviously not a good term.

However, facing Zhang Daotan, whose aura was extremely off, Yu Yang Daozi still put aside the grudge in his heart. After all, killing the one who wasn’t acting human first was always the right move.

He asked aloud, ”What is the situation with this person?”

Chu Xingchen moved slightly away from Zhang Daotan, whose situation was wrong. Don’t transformations usually have some sort of transition period? How was this thing seamless? He hadn’t even found the opportunity to make a move.

But there was good news too; right now, there was a useful talent beside him.

Chu Xingchen raised an eyebrow to signal, ”Didn’t you see? It’s Phase Two. Use your Divine Art to test the waters.”

For this kind of Phase Two monster with unknown mechanics, the best method was for someone to go up and eat a full combo first.

”Why don’t you go?”

Yu Yang Daozi was no fool; he naturally understood that Chu Xingchen wanted him to go and probe the fire first.

Chu Xingchen said righteously, ”You said it yourself. This is the Grand Dao Sect’s territory. If you won’t go, I’ll retreat. You stay here and handle it yourself.”

Yu Yang Daozi laughed angrily upon hearing this, ”Setting aside your Divine Ability, you have certainly practiced a good thick skin.”

Chu Xingchen’s figure retreated another distance because Zhang Daotan’s originally stagnant eyeballs had started to move slowly at this moment. It was obvious that he was about to start attacking actively.

He urged Yu Yang Daozi repeatedly, ”Thanks for the compliment, but cut the crap. Are you going up or not?”

Yu Yang Daozi’s face, of course, was no match for Chu Xingchen’s. He raised the wooden sword in his hand:

”Divine Art — Extinguish!”

A black afterimage flashed past. Immediately, the wish power around Zhang Daotan automatically gathered and surged forward frantically.

That black afterimage with its extremely strong sense of coercion was instantly swallowed up by the massive amount of wish power.

Zhang Daotan’s pure white gaze slowly fixed upon Yu Yang Daozi. He raised his hand slightly, and the wish power around him surged. A massive amount of wish power transformed into a pristine white force and shot towards Yu Yang Daozi, carrying a power that made one’s spine chill as if it were endless.

Yu Yang Daozi naturally did not dare to arrogantly block this unknown thing head-on. But even though his figure only moved slightly, the next moment, his figure was sent flying.

He hurriedly stabilized his figure, only to feel an abnormal pain in his left arm. He looked sideways and saw that the light purple Daoist robe draped over his body had been blasted open with a large hole.

His left arm was dripping with blood, and a difficult-to-understand power of an unknown category was wantonly roaming through his body, attacking madly.

But Yu Yang Daozi didn’t pay it much mind: ”Divine Art — Remove Shadow!”

His figure instantly dissipated from his original location and appeared in another place in an instant, but he barely managed to dodge another white arrow-like object shot by Zhang Daotan.

Yu Yang Daozi looked at Chu Xingchen, only to discover that he hadn’t made a move and was simply watching the battle from the sidelines in earnest.

He questioned, ”Why aren’t you making a move?!”

Chu Xingchen answered naturally:

”Oh... I am observing for weaknesses. You don’t need to worry about me; you continue.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang Daozi felt that he really should have just smashed Chu Xingchen first just now.

But at this moment, he had no time to dwell on this, because Zhang Daotan’s other hand had also risen.
