Xu Mengying made up her mind to take action. She was fair in her approach and didn't ask Meng Zhang to fight True Monarch Mountain Peak to the death. Instead, she only wanted him to help restrain Marshal Zhao and prevent him from interfering in her battle with True Monarch Mountain Peak. Seeing Xu Mengying's determination, Meng Zhang had no objections.
Whether it was True Monarch Mountain Peak or the people from the Dali Dynasty, he held hostility towards both. Given the opportunity to harm them, he naturally would do his best. After discussing the plan with Meng Zhang, Xu Mengying started looking for the right moment, preparing to strike at any time.
Even if they were going to act, they couldn't foolishly charge in. They needed to make use of favorable conditions. Unaware that he had become someone else's prey, True Monarch Mountain Peak was busy dealing with the monsters blocking his path. Under immense pressure, the two monsters in front of him had already broken bones and were covered in blood.
At this moment, the light and shadows around True Monarch Mountain Peak suddenly fluctuated, and several mysterious shadows flashed by, heading straight for his vital points.
"We've been waiting for you," True Monarch Mountain Peak, who was already on guard, casually waved his hand as if swatting a fly. Several blood masses burst, and those who tried to ambush him turned into minced meat.
At this moment, a series of melodious bell sounds resonated near True Monarch Mountain Peak, causing him to be momentarily distracted. Xu Mengying had finally seized the opportunity to make her move. She gently activated the Fourth Rank magic tool in her hand, the Startling Spirit Bell, and launched an attack directly at True Monarch Mountain Peak's Primordial Spirit.
During her previous battle with the Fourth Rank expert from the Sea Clan, Xu Mengying had held back. Not only did she refrain from using Fourth Rank magic tools, but the Illusion Grand Dao she displayed wasn't her main cultivation path among the three thousand Grand Daos. Her primary focus was the Soul Grand Dao, which had several special methods targeting enemies' souls.
The Soul of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch was deeply hidden within the Primordial Spirit and served as its core. Xu Mengying silently launched her attack, avoiding True Monarch Mountain Peak's physical body and directly targeting his Primordial Spirit's core.
While True Monarch Mountain Peak was still in a daze, the monsters that had been lurking nearby suddenly took action. A shadow appeared behind him, delivering a heavy blow to his back.
True Monarch Mountain Peak didn't even bother to glance at the minor injury on his body. Instead, he looked directly at the place where Xu Mengying was hiding.
Since Xu Mengying had already made her move, there was no point in continuing to hide from him.
"Xu Mengying, you really don't know your limits. I didn't come looking for you, but you willingly walked into my trap."
"Well then, let's settle this today and see who is qualified to lead the Yellow Lotus Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, True Monarch Mountain Peak took the initiative and unleashed the power of his primary cultivation path, the Earth Grand Dao.
Around Xu Mengying's body, a bright yellow light emerged, and she felt as if a mountain had pressed down on her, making her body incredibly heavy and unable to move. Xu Mengying also activated her Grand Dao power and engaged in a head-on confrontation with True Monarch Mountain Peak.
She used two Fourth Rank magic tools, the Moon Mirage Gauze and the Startling Spirit Bell. Amidst a series of divine and soul-stirring bell sounds, illusions of all kinds appeared, each more bizarre than the last.
True Monarch Mountain Peak clenched his hands, and an endless pressure descended from the sky, seemingly attempting to crush Xu Mengying into a pulp. However, he remained steadfast, ignoring all the illusions around him. Earthen walls rose up around him to help him withstand the attacks from the Startling Spirit Bell.
Marshal Zhao, who was currently locked in battle with two giant beasts, noticed Xu Mengying launching a sneak attack on True Monarch Mountain Peak, and his heart tightened. He had followed True Monarch Mountain Peak's orders and engaged the two monsters, completing his own task. Still, being the proud individual he was, he felt that if he was assigned to assist True Monarch Mountain Peak, he should prevent any unexpected incidents.
Marshal Zhao's true Cultivation Base was slightly weaker than True Monarch Mountain Peak's, but his combat prowess was no less formidable. When it came to daring to fight and risk his life, he even outshone True Monarch Mountain Peak. Unlike cultivators like True Monarch Mountain Peak who grew up in the Cultivation World, Marshal Zhao came from a background of battle formations, having grown and earned his status on the battlefield through numerous life and death struggles.
The way the Dali Dynasty cultivated its talents was nearly akin to the demonic path, incredibly cruel, almost akin to nurturing gu creatures. However, those cultivated through such means possessed powerful combat strength, a strong attacking spirit, and a habitual inclination to take the initiative.
Marshal Zhao made a quick decision. He ignored the attack from one of the giant beasts and focused on the other, igniting his Primordial Spirit and squeezing out his full potential, unleashing a powerful strike. The blade flashed, and the beast's head flew off. The force of the Slaughter Grand Dao invaded its body, snatching away its last bit of life force.
Although Marshal Zhao had suffered damage to his source, and the other giant beast had taken the opportunity to strike back, he showed no sign of weakness. He stared directly at the other beast, as if ready to strike again.
Had these two giant beasts been mindless beasts, they might have fought Marshal Zhao to the end. However, they were both highly intelligent creatures, and the remaining beast was intimidated by Marshal Zhao's display, immediately abandoning the fight and fleeing.
In the face of death, this giant beast finally felt fear.
Seeing the giant beast retreat, Marshal Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Though he had incurred some damage from the single strike, he could slowly recover and mend. But if he were to strike a second time, it would likely shake the very foundation and become difficult to repair.
He wasn't prepared to launch a second strike unless absolutely necessary. Marshal Zhao was about to catch his breath and then help True Monarch Mountain Peak with their opponent when suddenly, Meng Zhang silently appeared behind him.
Seizing the opportunity of Marshal Zhao's momentary laxness, Meng Zhang didn't hesitate to launch a sneak attack. When facing such a formidable enemy, one should not concern themselves with face and must seize every available opportunity.
Black and white streams of air descended from the sky, combining to form a circular millstone that spun like a grinding disc, fiercely colliding with Marshal Zhao.
This was a Dao Technique that Meng Zhang had recently comprehended - the Yin Yang Great Millstone, utilizing the power of the Yin Yang Grand Dao to erode the enemy's everything.
Unable to dodge in time, Marshal Zhao was struck by the Yin Yang Great Millstone. His heavy armor, defensive spells, True Essence, physical body, and Primordial Spirit were all thrown into the millstone, leaving him little resistance as everything was eroded away.
Before his Primordial Spirit completely dissipated, he swung his blade at Meng Zhang from afar.
