This barren land was the forbidden area of the Jade Buddha Temple. Even the monks of the temple could not come here without permission, let alone the monks of the Jinshan Temple, who had been hostile to them for many years.
It was hard to know how Long Pu found out about this.
But looking at him now, it was obvious that he had been planning this for a long time. From this, it was obvious that the Jade Buddha Temple was not united.
Since someone had set their eyes on the Haotian Pagoda, I also wanted to fight for it.
After all, it was one of the ten great ancient divine weapons. It was not right for me to see it wander outside the territory.
While I was thinking, Long Pu's expression had returned to normal. He glanced around and turned to me. "Kid, we have arrived. Let's not talk anymore. Let's do it."
I smiled and did not say anything. I took out the Armor Removing Sword, mobilized all the witchcraft energy in my body, and slashed at Long Pu's face.
This casual attack naturally could not hurt him, but I just wanted to test his strength.
Long Pu seemed to have seen through my thoughts as he waved his hand to repel the Armor Removing Sword Qi before snorting coldly, "Don't waste time. Use whatever means you have. If that's all you have, I advise you to surrender."
I still ignored him. I stepped on the Nine Stars Heavenly Dipper and attacked him again.
This time, I added the power of the Heavenly Dipper Step, so its power was much stronger than before.
Long Pu finally became serious. He raised his mouth and spat out an evil energy to meet the Armor Removing Sword Qi.
In the blink of an eye, the two energies collided, stirring up waves of air that swept in all directions, uprooting all the weeds in the surrounding area.
After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated. The two of us were still standing in the same place, staring at each other.
Although I did not use my full strength in that attack, Long Pu resolved it so easily. His strength was really terrifying. Could it be that he was already at the late stage of Yang Spirit?
If that was the case, it was no wonder that he had ridiculed me before. He did have the ability to do so.
The difference between the early stage and the late stage of Yang Spirit was like a moat. If it was someone else, it would be almost impossible for them to be his match. But he met me, so he was unlucky.
I have two kinds of aura of witchcraft in my body, and I am talented. When I was in the seal stage, I could fight against the Yangshen Celestial Master. Now that I have the cultivation of the Early-stage of Yangshen, it is not difficult for me to deal with ordinary people at the Middle-stage of Yangshen.
On the other hand, the cultivators of the Wu tribe used Tai Sui as the Yang God, so their strength surpassed that of the Dao Qi Yang God Celestial Master. As for Long Pu of the Jinshan Temple, he cultivated the inferior spells of the outer realm. With the accumulation of many advantages, with my current strength, I am not at a disadvantage when dealing with Long Pu at the late stage of the Yang God.
Through the previous two tests, I found that the breath exhaled by Long Pu was similar to Yin energy, but it was even more evil.
I didn't gain much of an advantage when I fought with my Shaman Qi. Moreover, there was a great disparity between our realms, so I was at a slight disadvantage just now.
If I use the power of extreme Yang, I might be able to restrain his evil Yin energy. This is something that I had already realized when I was fighting against Dragon Matron Kui, and now, I am even more certain about it.
After accepting the Tai Sui as the Yang God, my Taoist Qi cultivation also reached the Yang God phase.
In addition, the Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet is quite abundant. As long as this battle continues, the final victor will be me.
While I was thinking, Long Pu opened his mouth again.
Unlike the teasing from before, his expression was much more serious this time, and he said furiously, "No wonder you dare to challenge me. You do have some ability, but the gap between our realms isn't as simple as you think!"
"Please enlighten me!"
I laughed heartily and didn't say anything else. I stepped on the Heavenly Dipper again, and infused the Armor Removing Sword with pure Yang energy. Then, I swung it again.
As soon as I swung my sword, Long Pu clearly felt the change in his aura. His expression immediately changed. He was obviously confused.
His surprised expression gave me an opportunity. The sword energy in my hand moved even faster, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Long Pu.
Only then did he react. He quickly spat out evil Yin energy and formed a barrier in front of him, trying to resist the attack.
His thought process was simple, but the Armor Removing Sword energy was different from before. With the addition of pure Yang energy, the Armor Removing Sword energy collided with the barrier. It was like fire melting ice. The barrier instantly turned into dust, while the Armor Removing Sword energy didn't lose much of its power. It headed straight for his face.
Long Pu's expression turned ugly. He obviously didn't expect that my attack would be so powerful. Hence, he didn't dare to take it head-on, and leaped in an attempt to avoid it.
I already had a plan in mind. How could I let him succeed? As he moved, I had already moved in front of him. I lifted my leg and kicked at his waist.
Under the pincer attack, Long Pu couldn't avoid it and took the kick head-on.
At the same time, the Armor Removing Sword energy in my hand changed direction and slashed at where he was going to land. With a loud explosion, Long Pu was hit by the Armor Removing Sword energy again. His body flew a few meters back, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Taking advantage of his weakness, I didn't give him any chance to catch his breath and followed closely behind him.
However, Long Pu wasn't a kind person. He quickly stood up, the anger in his eyes burning.
"Kid, I admit that I have underestimated you. However, I will use my full strength. Today, I will crush your bones and scatter your ashes!"
Although his words were fierce, I knew that his true strength wasn't as weak as what he had displayed earlier. Therefore, I didn't dare to lower my guard. I quickly stopped and carefully watched his movements.
Suddenly, a Buddhist tablet appeared in his hands.
The appearance of this Buddhist tablet wasn't clear, but just like Long Po Kui, the moment the Buddhist tablet appeared, a shadow of Sakyamuni appeared on it.
Although I had seen Sakyamuni's shadow in Long Po Kui's hands, this Long Pu was at the late stage of Yang God. When he used the same move, the power was incomparable.
I became cautious and retreated a few steps. At the same time, I continuously transferred the Dao energy in my body to the Armor Removing Sword.
When the Armor Removing Sword energy was full, the shadow of Sakyamuni came out of the Buddhist tablet. As soon as it landed, it stretched out its palms to attack me.
In the face of the power of the Buddha's palms, I didn't dare to be careless. I stepped out of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper and swung the Armor Removing Sword.
A powerful sword energy rushed towards the two palms. In the blink of an eye, they collided.
Although I was prepared, I still underestimated Long Pu's methods.
The moment the Armor Removing Sword energy hit the shadow, it exploded, and the Dao energy scattered in all directions.
However, the shadow of Sakyamuni didn't move, and the attack of the Buddha's palms didn't weaken in the slightest.
My heart trembled. Before I could react, the Buddha's palms were already in front of me.
I didn't have time to defend myself, so I could only jump to the side.
Before I could stabilize myself, the Buddha's palms had already landed on the ground. With a loud explosion, a large crater with a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground.
Immediately after, the shadow of Sakyamuni chased after me and attacked me again.
The previous attack had consumed more than half of my Dao energy. I didn't have enough time to replenish it, so I could only activate the shaman energy in my body and send the remaining Dao energy into the Armor Removing Sword to meet the Buddha's palms.
Using all my strength to defend, the situation was much better than before.
After colliding with the Buddha's palms, the Armor Removing Sword energy didn't collapse immediately. However, it couldn't break through the Buddha's palms either.
Unexpectedly, the Buddha's Amulet continued to produce evil energy and sent it to the shadow of Sakyamuni.
On the other hand, the Armor Removing Sword energy was in a stalemate and hadn't been replenished. It was gradually losing ground.
Seeing this, I immediately reached for the jade bracelet in front of my chest. Taking advantage of the stalemate, I quickly replenished my Dao energy.
After a minute, the Armor Removing Sword energy couldn't withstand the power of the Buddha's palms anymore and dispersed.
However, I didn't panic. During this time, I had used the True Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet to recover more than half of my Dao energy.
After destroying the Armor Removing Sword energy, the power of the Buddha's palms didn't decrease. It took advantage of the situation and headed straight for my face.
At this moment, I didn't dare to hold back anymore. I opened my mouth and took out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Previously, I had recovered my Dao energy in order to activate the Xuanyuan Sword. After I spat out the sword, Long Pu's expression instantly turned grave.
Although the Xuanyuan Sword's name wasn't known to the outside world, Long Pu naturally sensed it in the face of such a divine weapon.
While he was frowning, I continued to send Dao energy into the Xuanyuan Sword. After I had exhausted the last bit of Dao energy in my body, I threw the Xuanyuan Sword into the air to meet the Buddha's palms.
The Xuanyuan Sword's power was far greater than the Armor Removing Sword energy. Although I had only poured seventy to eighty percent of the Dao energy in my body, the Buddha's palms had already been partially consumed by the Armor Removing Sword energy. After the two collided, the Xuanyuan Sword easily cut through the Buddha's palms and flew straight for Sakyamuni's torso.
At this moment, I finally heaved a sigh of relief. I immediately turned my gaze to Long Pu of Jinshan Temple.
At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword was enough to withstand the power of the Buddha's Amulet. Next, I had to kill Long Pu to completely end this battle.
At this moment, Long Pu seemed to have also sensed the danger. He ignored my gaze and stared at the Xuanyuan Sword. Then, he quickly cut the tip of his middle finger. A drop of blood spurted out and he flicked it towards the Buddha's Amulet.
Seeing his actions, my gaze also froze.
The middle finger was the tip of a person's finger. It was where the heart's blood gathered. Since he had used his fingertip blood, it was obvious that he was going to fight with his life on the line.
After the fingertip blood landed on the Buddha's Amulet, the originally dark Buddha's Amulet was gradually dyed red.
In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's Amulet, which was as tall as a person, completely turned blood-red.
Following this change, the Buddha's Amulet, which was originally illusory, solidified and was also dyed blood-red.
After this change, the situation immediately changed. The Xuanyuan Sword was no longer as sharp as before. It only flew a few meters forward before it was blocked by the solidified Buddha's Amulet, unable to advance any further.
Although the Xuanyuan Sword's power was unparalleled, it also consumed a terrifying amount of energy to activate it.
Taking advantage of the fact that his previous drive had yet to be unleashed, it was already impossible for him to summon it again.
On the other side, Long Pu's face was deathly pale. It seemed that the drop of blood from his fingertip had consumed a lot of energy.
In this situation, I still had a slight upper hand. After all, I had only consumed the cultivation in my body, while he had consumed a precious drop of blood from his fingertip.
However, this slight advantage could not be turned into a victory. After thinking for a long time, I clenched my teeth and made up my mind. If I wanted to defeat the Buddha's Amulet, I still had to use the Yang Spirit.
If I couldn't defeat the Buddha's Amulet, I would still be in danger with its endless aura supporting me.
After confirming this, I no longer hesitated. With a thought, I summoned the Yang Spirit.
In my current state, it was not enough to activate the Yang Spirit. After summoning it, I immediately sat cross-legged and used the True Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet to replenish my Taoist Qi. At the same time, I quickly refined the remaining Sorcery Qi in my body and continuously sent it to the Yang Spirit to support the consumption of the Yang Spirit.
