Chapter 28 Tongtian: This is my elder brother's divine beast mount!
The expression on Zhunti's benevolent corpse's face was more solemn than ever before, even revealing a hint of fear.
He stared intently at the immortal sword hanging behind the newcomer.
On the sword, the principles of slaughter flowed, and an ancient character "绝" (absolute) seemed to be about to annihilate all ages!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword!
The identity of the person who came was self-evident.
Reaching the heavens!
However, like him, he is not the true form of Tongtian, but one of the Three Corpses.
"I never expected to meet you in person, Fellow Daoist Tongtian." Zhunti's benevolent corpse concealed all his aura, forced a smile, and greeted him.
snort!
Tongtian let out a cold snort, a sound like divine thunder from the Great Dao, which made Zhunti's benevolent corpse primordial spirit tremble.
Tongtian ignored him and instead looked at Niu Ben, giving him a wink.
Niu Ben was incredibly quick-witted; he understood instantly.
He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of golden blood with a "poof". His originally incomparably powerful aura instantly weakened, like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
"Uncle-Master! You've finally arrived! If you had come any later, I, your junior nephew, would truly be doomed here today!"
Niu Ben's words were incredibly pitiful, filled with the relief and grievance of surviving a disaster. At this moment, he was practically a master of acting, comparable to an acting emperor.
This scene completely stunned the benevolent corpse of Zhunti on the other side.
What?
Nephew/niece?
This seemingly honest and simple calf is actually a disciple of the Three Pure Ones?
Moreover, he hadn't touched him at all from beginning to end, so where did this earth-shattering injury come from?
Could it be that this staged accident has stumbled upon a primordial world?!
Tongtian's icy gaze, capable of freezing time and space, fell once more upon the body of Zhunti's benevolent corpse, like two divine swords that could cleave the heavens and the earth.
That gaze was devoid of any emotion, yet it contained a terrifying killing intent capable of pulverizing an entire world!
"Zhunti, do you know who he is?"
"You! How! Dared! To! Severely! Injure! Him!"
Tongtian's voice was not loud, but it seemed to be the great Dao's decree. Every word he uttered made the world tremble. In the void, hundreds of millions of fine sword energies suddenly appeared, crisscrossing and cutting through everything!
"Fellow Daoist, I didn't..."
Zhunti, his spirit broken, hurriedly tried to explain, his voice trembling slightly.
He could sense that Tongtian was truly enraged!
This madman is truly willing to risk everything and fight him here!
However, Tongtian didn't give him a chance to explain and interrupted him directly.
"That blue ox in front of you, that's my elder brother's mount!"
"Now that you've beaten him to this state, tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
Tongtian's words, each one like an invincible sword aura, with a devastating edge, pierced the heart of Zhunti's benevolent corpse!
boom!!!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!!!
Upon hearing these words, Zhunti's benevolent corpse felt as if it had been struck by billions of chaotic divine lightning bolts at the same time, leaving its entire mind blank in an instant!
His mind was in turmoil, as if he had swallowed millions of years' worth of dead flies. In a short moment, his face underwent a series of extremely complex changes, from blue to white, red, and purple, before finally settling on a deep purplish-brown!
The Supreme Taoist's mount!
It's actually the mount of the Supreme Taoist!
This seemingly ordinary, even somewhat simple-minded, blue ox was actually the mount of that being!
If it were just some ordinary nobody from the Sanqing sect, there might still be room for maneuver. At worst, they could just pay some compensation and get revenge later.
But who is the Supreme One?
That was the eldest disciple of Hongjun Daozu, the future leader of the Three Pure Ones, and a universally acknowledged good person in the entire prehistoric world. But he was also a forbidden existence that no one wanted to provoke!
At worst, if you provoke Tongtian, you'll be chased by him for hundreds of millions of miles with his sword.
If you offend Yuanshi, at most you'll be plotted against behind your back and given a hard time.
But if you were to provoke that seemingly indifferent Taoist master... the consequences would be unimaginable!
In some ways, his mount was closer to him and more important than his so-called nominal disciples!
To beat his mount, especially in front of the benevolent corpse of the future second leader of the Western Sect, and to "beat" it into serious injury, is tantamount to slapping Taishang with all his might in front of all the great powers in the entire prehistoric world!
It was a resounding slap in the face to the future of Western religion!
Upon understanding this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of Zhunti's benevolent corpse. As soon as the cold sweat appeared, it was evaporated into nothingness by the terrifying sword intent emanating from Tongtian.
The extremely unpleasant purplish-brown color on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant smile that was both incredibly warm and sweet.
That ability to change one's expression is faster than turning the pages of a book, so fast it's practically supernatural!
"Oh dear! Fellow Daoist Tongtian! Look at the mess this has made! It's like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; even family members don't recognize each other!"
"Young friend, why didn't you tell me sooner that you were the mount of the Supreme Daoist? If you had told me earlier, there wouldn't have been such a huge misunderstanding!"
Zhunti's benevolent corpse beamed with joy, like a blooming chrysanthemum. His words were full of familiarity and warmth, and his enthusiastic attitude made it seem as if the person who had just been cold-eyed and ready to kill Niu Ben was not him at all.
With a flourish of his sleeve, he displayed an extremely elegant and graceful demeanor.
The small flag that he had just put away flew out again, turning into a streak of light, and landed gently and obediently in front of Niu Ben.
"Young friend, look, the moment I first saw you, I knew this item was destined for you, and was meant to be yours!"
"Here, I specially retrieved it from that demon king for you. Returning it to its rightful owner, please accept it quickly!"
Although his heart was bleeding with pain, this was a top-tier innate spiritual treasure! Their western region was barren, and any innate spiritual treasure was extremely precious!
But at this moment, in order to quell the anger of the Three Pure Ones, he had no other choice.
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Without any hesitation, he snatched the small flag, swept it with his divine sense, erased the marks belonging to the Demon King and Zhunti, stamped it with his own mark, and put it into his pocket.
After doing all this, he still clutched his chest tightly, wincing in pain, his face contorted in agony. He swayed precariously, as if he were about to die and return to the underworld at any moment.
"Uncle-Master... Uncle-Master Tongtian..."
Niu Ben mustered all his strength and let out a weak shout, his voice barely audible.
"My chest hurts so much! It feels like my internal organs, meridians, and even my primordial spirit and Dao fruit have been shattered..."
"This injury is too severe; it will likely take tens of thousands of years for him to fully recover..."
Tongtian remained silent.
He just gave Niu Ben a knowing look.
