Chapter 287: We are all family
Chapter 287: We are all family
This was the first time Du Ge used the Power of Poseidon.
However.
In this world, there were water-controlling spells, so using the Power of Poseidon wasn't particularly conspicuous.
At most, people would just say he had high comprehension and figured out a new Daoist technique. People outside were counting on him to fight on the Alien Star Battlefield, so no one would come to investigate him.
The two old Daoist priests probably encountered this kind of attack for the first time. They immediately used their spiritual power to repel the water from their faces, but they couldn't prevent it from seeping into their clothes.
The icy water snaked into their bodies, making them shiver involuntarily. "What the hell?"
Du Ge smiled and tossed two Cloud Rain Talismans into the sky.
Then, following the attack route provided by the Heavenly Eye, ten protective talismans flew from different angles, crashing into the two old Daoists.
The water on the ground gathered again, like water snakes, slithering into their faces, sleeves, and collars...
At the same time.Du Ge also unleashed a Palm Thunder, the lightning striking one of the old Daoists.
Several different techniques were used by Du Ge alone.
The two old Daoists were shocked. "Sanqing Hall?"
"That's right, I am the 40th generation disciple of Grandmaster Wenhua. Today, my skills have reached their peak, and I am here to avenge my grandmaster." Du Ge laughed heartily. "What my grandmaster couldn't accomplish, I will. Today, I will boldly declare that my grandmaster was right; the techniques of all the sects today are garbage."
"......"
Zhang Ziqing and the others were speechless. If they didn't know that Du Ge had just learned these techniques last night, they might have believed his nonsense.
But Du Ge's strength still exceeded their expectations.
They didn't expect that Du Ge could actually fight the two ancestors of the Tianshi Sect to a standstill. Such talent and ability surpassed even Sheng Wenhua.
"Impossible." One of the old Daoists was horrified. A burst of white light suddenly emanated from his body, repelling all the water and talismans around him.
The other old Daoist didn't waste words, forming seals with his hands.
The patterns on the ground of the Demon Sealing Cave suddenly glowed with golden light, connecting and forming a formation that enveloped everyone like a cage.
The moment the formation was completed, Du Ge felt his spiritual power suppressed by ninety percent. He looked at Zhang Ziqing in surprise.
Zhang Ziqing was equally bewildered.
Apparently, his level was too low to know about the formation outside the Demon Sealing Cave or the true combat power of the two grand-uncles.
With his spiritual power sealed, Du Ge had only ten percent left, enough to use talismans. Zhang Ziqing and the others, whose spiritual power was already inferior to Du Ge's, were reduced to almost ordinary people.
Zhong Xie's Heavenly Eye dimmed.
The moment the formation was completed, the old Daoist who had formed the seals snorted, "So what if you're Sheng Wenhua's disciple? Your mistake was coming to the Demon Sealing Cave to cause trouble..."
No fight, no acquaintance; breaking defenses with ridicule; the heart of attack and kill.
Three advanced skills flashed through Du Ge's mind, but none of them were usable.
In this situation, no matter what he said, it was impossible to break through the psychological defenses of the two old Daoists, let alone defeat them.
However.
Although his spiritual power was suppressed, the attributes brought by the Keywords were not weakened, nor was the Power of Poseidon...
Du Ge threw a Five Thunder Talisman, but its speed was also suppressed, flying slowly and easily knocked down by a Palm Thunder from one of the old Daoists.
Du Ge's expression changed, acting like a trapped beast, and he rushed towards the Tianshi Seal, shouting as he ran, "Even if I die today, I'll release all the demons in the Demon Sealing Cave."
"Childish!" The old Daoist who had lifted the formation snorted, throwing a talisman, "Bind."
The talisman landed on Du Ge, freezing him in place.
"Grand-Uncle, no, Cheng Yu is not Sheng Wenhua's disciple." Seeing Du Ge restrained, Zhang Ziqing panicked, "He's a disciple of Daoist Priest Suwen. The Special Affairs Bureau has been infiltrated by the Heavenly Demon. We came to the Demon Sealing Cave to borrow the Ghost King's power to fight against the Heavenly Demon in the Special Affairs Bureau. We..."
"Ziqing, stop talking. Our Sanqing Hall cannot bow to those who trap people with formations and dare not fight openly." Du Ge interrupted him, snorting coldly, "The current cultivation world is full of petty people who can't comprehend the greatness of the path to immortality."
"Brother Cheng, don't anger the grand-uncles." Zhang Ziqing said, "Why throw dirt on yourself? The grand-uncles are reasonable people. If we explain properly, they will understand. Chen Ziyong, say something!"
"Zhang Ziqing, you're useless too." Chen Ziyong glanced at him, "People of Sanqing Hall would rather die standing than live kneeling. They won't get any secrets of Sanqing Hall from Senior Brother."
"......" Zhang Ziqing was stunned.
Du Ge glanced at the cooperating Chen Ziyong, "That's right, kill me! I won't reveal the secrets our grandmaster painstakingly perfected. The path to immortality may be lost, but it won't be left to you petty people. Do you think Sanqing Hall has only a few of us? Over the millennia, we've infiltrated all the major sects."
The two old Daoists exchanged glances, seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
One of them frowned, "Is this true?"
"What Heavenly Demon?" Du Ge sneered, "They're all our people from Sanqing Hall. By now, the leaders of all the sects should be under our control. The sect leaders are a bunch of fools, easily deceived by the name of a Heavenly Demon. They won't even open communications..."
"......" Zhang Ziqing and the others.
The two old Daoists exchanged glances again.
The old Daoist controlling the formation frowned, "Junior Brother, you should return to the Tianshi Hall and see if what he says is true."
The two old Daoists guarding the Demon Sealing Cave were unaware of the outside situation. One of them glanced at Du Ge, summoned a talisman, merged with it, and instantly disappeared from the formation.
Only one old Daoist remained, looking at Du Ge without moving.
"Old man, you won't get any information from me. If I want to die, no one can stop me." Du Ge snorted, a ball of water covering his face, enveloping his entire head.
In the water, he gave the old Daoist a mocking smile, calmly accepting death.
"Brother Cheng."
"Brother Cheng, don't."
Zhang Ziqing and the others saw the water ball covering Du Ge's head and struggled to rush to save him.
Chen Ziyong looked at Du Ge, dumbfounded. What was happening?
Was he really going to suffocate himself?
The old Daoist reacted faster than anyone else. As the water ball covered Du Ge's head, he flashed to his side, reaching for the water ball on his face.
The matter of Sanqing Hall was too important; he couldn't let Du Ge die.
In the next moment.
The water ball on Du Ge's face suddenly turned into two ice spikes, striking the old Daoist's eyes.
The old Daoist instinctively dodged, but Du Ge had already slapped a Binding Talisman on his chest.
The old Daoist's body froze, and a sharp pain shot up from below, as Du Ge had kicked him in the groin.
Immediately.
Du Ge's hands moved like windmills, slapping one Binding Talisman after another on the old Daoist.
Then, a Five Thunder Talisman landed on his forehead.
Du Ge quickly retreated.
Boom!
Lightning exploded on the old Daoist's head.
His hair was blown apart, his face blackened, and he looked at Du Ge with unwillingness, black smoke pouring from his mouth as he fell straight to the ground.
Du Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief, taking out a bundle of talismans from his backpack and plastering them all over the old Daoist.
At this moment.
Zhang Ziqing and the others finally arrived.
Zhang Ziqing looked at the defeated grand-uncle and then at Du Ge with awe, "Brother Cheng, how did you do it?"
"I had a Hundred Solution Talisman in my shoe. A talisman master must be prepared for anything in battle." Du Ge smiled, deliberately ignoring the Power of Poseidon, and cast a Rejuvenation Talisman.
The old Daoist slowly woke up, "You..."
Du Ge immediately activated a Binding Talisman, "Old fellow, do you yield?"
The old Daoist looked at the talismans covering his body and remained silent. He wasn't confident he could repel all the talismans.
Du Ge waved his hand, and the water ball formed a large hand, pressing on the Tianshi Seal under the old Daoist's terrified gaze, "Say you yield, and we're friends. I won't touch the Tianshi Seal. If you don't, I'll release the demons in the Demon Sealing Cave..."
"Release the demons, and none of you will survive," the old Daoist said.
"Do you yield?" Du Ge pushed the water hand against the Tianshi Seal.
As the Tianshi Seal moved, golden light flashed on the stone doors of the Demon Sealing Cave, activating the sealing talismans of past Tianshi.
The old Daoist's eyes widened in anger, "If you do this, countless lives will be lost."
"What does it matter?" Du Ge smiled, "Destroying you orthodox Daoists, Sanqing Hall will be the heroes when we seal the released ghosts back. Without ghosts, who will believe in Sanqing Hall?
Grand-Uncle, I don't want to cause suffering, and releasing the Ghost King would weigh on my conscience. So, I'm giving you the chance to save the world! Just say you yield, and maybe I won't release the Ghost King! If you stubbornly refuse, the suffering will be your fault, not mine..."
So you're looking for comfort from me!
Seeing Du Ge push the Tianshi Seal again, the old Daoist's eyes almost popped out, "I yield, I yield."
Du Ge smiled, dispersing the water hand.
Under the astonished gazes of Zhang Ziqing and the others, he removed the talismans from the old Daoist one by one, "Grand-Uncle, I was just joking. Zhang Ziqing and the others are right; I'm not from Sanqing Hall. We may have fought, but we should be friends despite the age difference."
"Yes, friends despite the age difference." The old Daoist frowned, puzzled by what had happened, but his hostility had unknowingly disappeared.
"I'm glad Grand-Uncle accepts me as a friend." Du Ge smiled, "I know you have many questions. But now is not the time to explain. The grand-uncle who went to investigate will return soon. Next, please activate the formation and suppress him too, then I'll explain everything to both of you."
