Chapter 130: Randeng's Defeat
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi did not use his magic treasure, but instead circulated his spiritual power to take on Randeng's attack.
When Master Ran Deng saw this, his face darkened. He knew very well the gap between himself and Zhen Yuanzi. The gap between the two realms was enough to make him feel awkward.
At this moment, he realized that if he did not use the magic treasure, he would have almost no chance of winning.
So, the Taoist Master Ran Deng took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and muttered something.
As he chanted the spell, a brilliant light rose from his hand and shot straight into the sky.
After the light dissipated, a ruler emitting a faint golden light appeared in his hand. It was his top-grade innate spiritual treasure - the Qiankun Ruler.
Taoist Master Ran Deng held the Qiankun ruler in his hand and gave a low shout. The Qiankun ruler suddenly burst out with a dazzling light and turned into a beam of light, attacking Zhen Yuanzi directly.
Zhen Yuanzi remained calm and composed. He circulated the spiritual power in his body and waved his sleeves. Mysterious runes appeared in the air, as if building an invisible barrier.
"boom!!!"
The beam collided with the barrier with a deafening noise.
The air around them seemed to be torn apart by this force, with strong winds blowing and sand and rocks flying everywhere.
Zhen Yuanzi's figure was in the storm, but he was as solid as a rock and did not waver at all.
Taoist Master Ran Deng stood not far away, looking at Zhen Yuanzi's steady figure, with a hint of surprise and unwillingness in his eyes.
His brows were furrowed, as if he found the situation in front of him unbelievable.
"Zhen Yuanzi's strength..."
Taoist Burning Lamp muttered to himself, his voice filled with shock, "It's possible that he is at the level of a perfect quasi-saint, but I attacked him with all my strength and didn't hurt him at all."
He recalled the attack just now, which was an attack he had used all his strength.
However, when facing Zhen Yuanzi, the seemingly invincible attack was like a drop in the ocean, failing to cause even a ripple.
This made Master Ran Deng extremely frustrated, and at the same time he also had a deeper understanding of Zhen Yuanzi's strength.
However, deep down in his heart, Master Ran Deng was unwilling to accept the huge gap in strength between himself and Zhen Yuanzi.
He recalled the days when the two of them attended lectures together in Zixiao Palace. At that time, their cultivation levels were not too far apart.
But now Zhen Yuanzi has reached the peak of quasi-saint, while he is still lingering in the early stage of quasi-saint. This huge gap makes Taoist Ran Deng feel mixed emotions.
"Zhen Yuanzi, from now on, I will not hold back, so you better be careful!"
Taoist Master Ran Deng gave a low shout, and the Qiankun ruler in his hand seemed to sense the will of its master and instantly burst into a dazzling light.
An even more powerful force gushed out from the Qiankun ruler, transforming into an invisible shock wave, rushing towards Zhen Yuanzi with the power to destroy the world.
However, facing this fierce attack, Zhen Yuanzi just smiled faintly, his eyes full of calmness and composure.
He waved his sleeves lightly, as if brushing away a cloud of dust, and said lightly:
"Fellow Daoist Randeng, just go all out. I can handle it naturally."
His voice was calm and confident, as if he had everything under control.
Zhen Yuanzi's figure moved slightly, and then he turned into a phantom and disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, a more powerful spiritual barrier appeared at his original position, completely blocking the attack of Master Ran Deng.
The thunder rumbled, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble slightly.
Zhen Yuanzi was like a calm chess player. Facing the fierce attack from Master Ran Deng, he always remained calm and composed.
His figure flickered in the interweaving of light and shadow, and every movement was precise and swift, as if he could foresee the next move of Master Ran Deng.
The two figures intertwined in the air, and every collision produced a strong energy fluctuation.
These fluctuations spread out like ripples, distorting the surrounding air like rippling water waves.
And in this fluctuation, the power of the two people collided, melted, and then condensed again, as if a silent energy contest was going on.
As time went by, Zhen Yuanzi felt that the duel between him and Master Ran Deng was about to end.
Then, Zhen Yuanzi was surrounded by spiritual power, and a powerful spiritual power gushed out from his body, turning into a stream of light and attacking the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
When Taoist Master Ran Deng felt this strong fluctuation of spiritual power, his expression changed slightly, but he did not show any panic.
He reacted quickly, tightly grasped the Qiankun ruler in both hands, and placed it across his chest without hesitation, ready to resist Zhen Yuanzi's sudden attack with all his strength.
"boom!!!"
With this loud bang, the Qiankun ruler and the stream of light collided violently in the air.
The deafening sound of the collision echoed throughout the entire mountain top, shaking the rocks and the grass.
The powerful impact caused the surrounding air to solidify, as if time had stopped at this moment.
However, although the Qiankun ruler demonstrated strong defensive power, the stream of light was not completely blocked.
Its aftermath came like a violent storm and hit the Taoist Master Ran Deng directly on his chest.
The Taoist Master Ran Deng only felt a huge force coming, as if he was hit by a huge mountain, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.
"puff!!!"
A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of Master Ran Deng's mouth, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Ran Deng struggled to steady himself, his eyes filled with shock and unwillingness. He had not expected that Zhen Yuanzi's blow would cause him to vomit blood.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shu, who was watching the battle on the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Immortal Zhen Yuan is so strong!"
Zhen Yuanzi restrained his arrogance, walked to Randeng, and said bluntly:
"The winner has been decided. This competition ends here. You can leave now, fellow Taoist."
Upon hearing this, although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod slightly and said in a deep voice:
"My skills are inferior to others, I will leave immediately!"
After saying that, Randeng turned into a stream of light and left Wanshou Mountain. Before leaving, he glanced at Luoshu with sharp eyes.
Luo Shu found it funny. He naturally understood the meaning of the look in the Taoist's eyes, but he didn't care.
After the Taoist Master Ran Deng left Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Luo Shu with gentle eyes and said slowly:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, this matter is settled. Please follow me to visit Wuzhuang Temple."
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised his lips, bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, and replied respectfully:
"In that case, thank you for your invitation, senior. I will respectfully obey your order."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xiaobai in the distance and asked him to come over and go to Wuzhuang Temple with Zhenyuan Daxian.
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded with satisfaction and a warm smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and waved his sleeves, and a clear light enveloped Luo Shu and Xiao Bai. The three figures gradually disappeared on the top of Wanshou Mountain.
……
After a while, Zhen Yuanzi brought Luo Shu and Xiao Bai to Wuzhuang Temple.
Wuzhuang Temple is located deep in Wanshou Mountain, like a bright pearl inlaid among the clouds, surrounded by fairy air and looming.
This place seems to be the gathering place of the essence of heaven and earth, full of mystery and tranquility.
As Luo Shu approached the mountain gate of Wuzhuang Temple, he saw the couplets on both sides of the gate when entering the mountain gate of Wuzhuang Temple in the Journey to the West in later generations.
This couplet is written in an ancient font, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, as if it contains endless wisdom and time.
The plaque on the left reads "The Immortal Palace of Eternal Life" in vigorous and powerful characters, revealing a state of mind of transcending the world and pursuing eternity.
The plaque on the right reads "A Taoist Family with a Longevity As Long As Heaven". The writing is elegant and lively, demonstrating the Taoist's lofty ambition to live as long as heaven and earth and to compete with the sun and the moon for glory.
"Senior, this couplet is so wonderfully written!"
Luo Shu stood in front of the gate of Wuzhuang Temple. He was deeply attracted by the ancient and solemn couplets on both sides and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Zhen Yuanzi was standing aside. After hearing Luo Shu's praise, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and his eyes flashed with admiration.
He turned around and looked at Luo Shu gently, with a kind smile on his face.
"My dear friend Luo Shu, you have a keen eye and can appreciate the beauty of this couplet. It is really rare."
Zhen Yuanzi's voice is gentle and magnetic, as if it can soothe the restlessness in people's hearts.
After hearing this, Luo Shu bowed his head slightly and responded modestly:
"Thank you for your praise, senior. I have only superficially felt the profound meaning of this couplet. Compared with you, I really pale in comparison."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed out loud. His laughter was hearty and joyful, like a spring breeze blowing on one's face, making one feel relaxed and happy.
He reached out and patted Luo Shu on the shoulder, saying affectionately:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, there is no need to be so modest. It is not easy for you to have such an understanding. Let's go to the temple first and then we will talk. We still have a lot to talk about."
Having said that, Zhen Yuanzi turned and walked towards Wuzhuang Temple, followed closely by Luo Shu and Xiao Bai.
