The Old Celestial Master was enveloped in lightning, with countless bolts emerging from his body. In an instant, the heavens changed color, and countless dark clouds gathered above the sky.
Accompanying the Old Celestial Master's movements, countless silver dragons appeared in the air. These things were clearly much more powerful than Chulan's.
"Lightning Arts? I've been waiting for you!"
Ever since Yang Tao knew this was the The Outcast world, he had prepared a large number of [lightning rods] in his backpack, precisely for this moment.
Yang Tao plunged a copper pillar, as thick as a calf, into the ground.
The 'silver dragons' that were originally rushing towards Yang Tao were instantly drawn by a special force, flying towards the [lightning rod].
This is the effect of the [lightning rod]; it can attract all lightning within a 32x4x32 block area to the top of its own block.
The Old Celestial Master frowned at this. No matter how he controlled the materialized Lightning Art, its direction would always be inexplicably altered, ultimately landing on that strange pillar.
With his rich experience, he immediately changed his approach. His figure vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of Yang Tao.
A simple palm strike swiftly aimed at Yang Tao's neck. However, combined with the Old Celestial Master's immortal-like demeanor, it had the imposing aura of an immortal caressing my head, shattering the heavenly spirit with a single palm.
obsidian appeared out of thin air, blocking the Old Celestial Master's attack. Numerous cracks spread across the obsidian.
Yang Tao smiled and said, "Old Celestial Master, the force was a bit light..."
"Nameless Blade Art, please enlighten me."
The Yamato swiftly slashed upwards, and a bloody blade aura quickly collided with the Golden Light Charm that had appeared on the Old Celestial Master's body.
The Golden Light Charm, which had been like a solid, shook violently under the erosion of the bloody blade aura.
Yang Tao adopted an unyielding stance, the Yamato in his hand transforming into streaks of afterimages, with bloody light filling the air within three meters.
Daoist talismans appeared beside Yang Tao; some met the Yamato's aura, while others flew towards Yang Tao.
Lu Ci also seized the opportunity to rush forward.
"Dimensional Slash!"
The blade aura directly distorted space, forming a constantly rotating sphere. Lu Ci, who had rushed forward, plunged headfirst into it.
The Dimensional Slash's attack was truly unpredictable; it had no wind-up time before attacking, nor any discernible trajectory.
Aside from costing Proud Souls, it had almost no drawbacks.
"Senior Lu, don't move..."
Countless talismans appeared beside Yang Tao, and a large number of Phantom Swords also appeared beside Lu Kane.
Lu Kane's face showed only a slight hint of apprehension, no fear whatsoever: "Kid, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me..."
Pfft...
The Phantom Swords and the sky-full of talismans moved together.
Yang Tao's figure was instantly submerged by various talismans, with elements of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning erupting. Countless plumes of smoke and dust rose, and Lu Kane was equally in a bad state, with several Phantom Swords piercing his body.
"Senior Lu's Heavenly Pass Talisman is indeed sharp!"
Yang Tao's voice rang out from within the smoke and dust. A gentle breeze blew, and Yang Tao walked out of the smoke and dust completely unharmed.
The injured Lu Kane looked at Yang Tao in disbelief: "This... this is impossible. Even the Old Celestial Master couldn't defend against my attack so easily..."
Yang Tao, holding the Yamato, walked step by step towards Lu Ci, who had already emerged from the Dimensional Slash. The surging killing intent made even a 'Lunatic' like Lu Ci feel a chill.
He naturally wasn't that strong.
He merely opened the door, took a step back, then closed the door the instant the talismans landed on him. After a few seconds, he opened the door again and walked out.
Your Senior Lu's Heavenly Pass Talisman is strong, but my wooden door isn't to be trifled with either.
At this moment, a golden light appeared on the Old Celestial Master's body, like a tangible cloak, and his figure swiftly blocked Yang Tao's path. Simultaneously, all the Daoists of the Tianshi Mansion present leaped down from the stands.
In an instant, Yang Tao became the villainous Great Boss about to be besieged.
"Haha, Old Celestial Master, you Tianshi Mansion thinks so highly of me, tsk tsk. Since that's the case, let me test the strength of you all."
Yang Tao's pace grew faster and faster. Zhang Lingyu, as the foremost junior, was the first to meet him. Dark, inky Yin Five Thunders flowed from his body. Facing Yang Tao, he dared not hold back at all.
Although this thing looked incredibly disgusting, it was still lightning...
A [lightning rod] was plunged into the ground. The Yin Five Thunders, which had been flowing like ink, were all absorbed by the [lightning rod].
At this moment, Zhang Lingyu personally experienced the Old Celestial Master's feeling.
This was not good, very not good.
Suddenly, he saw a fan appear in Yang Tao's hand—a fan made of peacock feathers, with purple light flowing on it.
With a gentle wave, just like the legendary banana fan, a fierce gale surged from the fan, rapidly blowing towards him and his fellow disciples.
A golden light flashed on Zhang Lingyu's body as he prepared to withstand this attack head-on, to avoid affecting his master behind him. But the instant he made contact with the gale, his Golden Light Charm became like a mere decoration; an invisible force sent his body flying directly.
The Old Celestial Master reached out and caught Zhang Lingyu. The other Longhu Mountain Daoists, however, did not receive such treatment; one by one, they all flew backward.
Yang Tao continued to walk step by step towards Lu Ci.
"Old Celestial Master, get out of the way! If he wants to kill me, then let him!"
Lu Ci's voice rang out. There was no fear on his face, only a hint of madness.
"Old Lu, you..."
"Haha, when we faced the invading Japanese ninja forces back then, I, Lu Ci, was never afraid. It's just a life, what's the harm in giving it to him?"
With that, enduring the injuries caused by the Dimensional Slash on his body, he forced himself to walk step by step towards Yang Tao.
Yang Tao looked at Lu Ci, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The reason the Wang family and the Lu family were pushed into the position of Ten Elders by the outlaws was, on one hand, their immense power, and on the other hand, the contributions these two families made during the Anti-Japanese War.
Take Lu Ci as an example.
His father, his brother, and his cousins basically all died fighting against the ninja forces, and even he himself barely escaped with his life.
What a pity...
The dragon slayer eventually became Arlong.
Wang Ai is an example, resting on the laurels of his predecessors, enjoying everything as if it were his due.
Wang Bing is lawless, and Wang Ai is no different.
The entire arena fell silent, and everyone's gaze was focused on Lu Ci and Yang Tao.
"Lu Ci, do you have anything else to say?"
"I've lived this long, it's more than enough!"
Yang Tao nodded lightly, and his figure instantly vanished from his spot.
Dash Iai.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Lu Ci.
Sheathe the blade.
Immediately, the world cleared, and the surging killing intent vanished.
Lu Ci's body fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Yang Tao looked at the Old Celestial Master: "Old Celestial Master, according to the rules, I killed someone, so I lose the match."
Match?
There was no match anymore. Two of the Ten Elders had died. This was no less than an earthquake for the entire outlaw world.
Yang Tao scanned the surrounding stands and suddenly saw Tian Jinzhong sitting in a wheelchair, or rather, Acting Leader Gong Qing standing behind him.
He immediately leaped lightly, summoned his magic broom, and in the blink of an eye, arrived in front of Tian Jinzhong.
"Senior Tian, I apologize!"
With that, Yang Tao directly reached out and grabbed Acting Leader Gong Qing by the neck.
Acting Leader Gong Qing: "???"
You're offending Master Tian, why are you grabbing me?
