Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

The Dominant Body manifested.

Within his body, the golden divinity's eyes opened simultaneously, and it rose to its feet.

Fierce dragons, evil tigers, and green ox totemic shadows suddenly soared into the sky and then returned to Yi Chen's body once more.

The wildly surging energy, accompanied by a phantom identical to Yi Chen's true form, rushed fiercely towards the woman in the red robe.

Yi Chen's idea was quite simple; he decided to strike first to gauge the strength of his opponent. If he could kill this person, it would also serve to severely intimidate the other two figures lurking behind the red figure.

One punch to forestall a hundred!

Of course, if he couldn't kill this person, he would then decide what to do based on the situation.

Faced with such a ferocious blow from Yi Chen, Xue Luosha couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. However, she was also a decisive person, and promptly formed a hand seal. Her phoenix eyes turned a deep bloody red as she coldly shouted, "Xue Luo Heaven Guard!"

In an instant, the red of her robe faded away, and a pair of immensely large, left-red and right-black wings extended from her ribs.

With a sudden closure of her wings, they formed a protective barrier, momentarily shrouding her figure behind this shielded wall. Moreover, the meteor hammer in her hands unexpectedly disintegrated into hundreds of peculiar fragments, which then instantly formed a slightly raised round shield in the air.

The front of the round shield, with protrusions like fangs, spun wildly, blocking the path of Yi Chen's Holy Halberd.

Attack without defense, unrivaled under the heavens; such a move aimed to annihilate could sever the physical body.

Under the enhancement of Extreme Origin and Holy Halberd, brightly shimmering light slammed violently onto the ceaselessly spinning black shield.

Sizzling sounds.

A grating noise kept emanating, creating sparks like those from a smith's hammer striking an anvil.

At the same time, the phantom, which was no different from Yi Chen's true form, completely ignored the black shield, as if it were an out-of-control dump truck, diving headfirst into the protection offered by Xue Luosha's black and red wings.

Bang!

A burst of bloody light spilled out, and Xue Luosha's summoned red and black wings suddenly exploded. Her complexion first turned crimson and then abruptly shifted to deathly pale, as she staggered back three steps. The black shield that was obstructing the halberd's light had a fist-sized protrusion forcibly poked through it during the violent friction.

"Damn, that's prickly," Yi Chen looked at the woman in front of him and was quite shocked himself.

Since his technique reached perfection, it was the first time someone had forcibly blocked it. Even though the person managed with great difficulty, it had indeed been blocked.

If it were a fight to the death, with his current level of fifteen layers in True Technique, he could use the annihilating move twice in a row. In a one-on-one fight, the woman in the red robe would stand no chance.

However, with two uninvited guests behind her, he couldn't act recklessly.

Two tall figures took their places beside the woman in the red robe. Their mutual auras intertwined, emitting a force not much weaker than that of the woman in red.

These two people were none other than Jin Huai and 'Evil Armor'.

The three of them tightly guarded the only path Yi Chen could take to leave.

"Evil Armor, Jin Huai, shall we join forces?" The woman in the red robe had a flash of doubt and resentment in her eyes. After a moment of contemplation, she extended an invitation to Evil Armor and Jin Huai by her side.

"Agreed!" Jin Huai's gaze lingered on the woman in red before his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, betraying a trace of peculiarity; the cultivator shrouded in iron armor remained silent, looking as though he followed Jin Huai's lead.

"Fellow Daoist, three of us joined together, you stand no chance. It's hard for us cultivators to reach our level; why don't you hand over your halberd and storage bag? I can promise you safe passage. What do you say?"

Xue Luosha's greedy eyes flickered over the halberd for a moment, evidently coveting Yi Chen's Holy Halberd, clearly shaken by the previous clash.

"You dare to threaten me? If it weren't for these two Daoist friends here, do you believe I wouldn't spear you to death with another strike?"

Yi Chen faced the three people before him with an air of extraordinary defiance.

"But I have allies, and the Daoist priest stands alone. Under the eaves, one must bow their head," Xue Luosha responded indifferently to Yi Chen's disdainful tone, her smile deepening without a trace of her previous irritation.

"Interesting. Fellow Daoists, how about instead we three join forces and silence this noisy woman? What do you think?"

Yi Chen increased his guard internally but externally began surreptitiously sowing discord.

Evil Armor and Jin Huai glanced at the face of the woman in red. Jin Huai shook his head with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, why bother with words? My association with Daoist Xue Luosha is deep and trusting. Having formed an alliance, how could we act unfaithfully?"

"Then, Daoist Xue Luosha, how about the two of us join forces and take them down? We kill these two brats, and all their possessions are yours," Yi Chen licked his lips, a glint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, don't waste your effort. My bond with Evil Armor and Jin Huai is deep and trusting; you can't shake our resolve with a few words. Such language from you, isn't it disdainful?" Xue Luosha's smile grew broader, yet it quickly froze on her face.

"Well said! Since that's the case, I still have one Holy Halberd technique left. Which of you would like to come and die?" Yi Chen's face twisted fiercely, and with a sweep of his halberd, a break appeared on the ground, "Whoever crosses this line first, that person will receive my halberd strike."

The ones who fear death the most, die the quickest.

Without the courage to stake your life, you'll eventually be consumed entirely by others.

You need to have the courage to risk your life, but don't do so lightly until the very end. Those who are quick to stake their life in a conflict will sooner or later lose it completely.

These three principles were the key truths Yi Chen had realized in his previous life.
