Chapter 3875

Zhuo Wen saw the Shabby Taoist Master's body emit a golden light that was tens of thousands of feet long. It surrounded his body, and an unprecedentedly powerful aura surged out.

It was as if the Slovenly Taoist Man's accumulated energy was unleashed at that moment.

After that, Zhuo Wen felt that his body was being pushed by a force, and he was floating towards the back.

He could only watch helplessly as the distance between him and the Slovenly Taoist Man widened.

"Faction Leader, your Righteous Energy … is no match for Shi Shenhong …"

Zhuowen almost screamed. He wanted to stop the Slovenly Taoist Man. He waved his hands in the air as if he wanted to pull the Slovenly Taoist Man back.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

He was too weak. He was too weak to even truss a chicken.

"Zhuowen … take Daokong and Dōkyō and leave this place. I'm old and I've lived long enough!

The future of the Hong Sect depends on you! "

"I don't ask you to bring the Hong Sect to greater heights. I just hope that you can keep the Hong Sect alive. Even if it's just a feeble existence, you have to keep the Hong Sect alive. Don't let the Hong Sect's legacy end in my hands!"

"And Daokong and Dōkyō. You're older than them. You're their big brother. You have to take good care of them. Don't let them suffer!"

The slovenly Daoist priest slowly turned around and looked at Zhuo Wen. The tears at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.

Zhuowen looked at the Slovenly Taoist Man in silence. He saw the tears on the Slovenly Taoist Man's face. He saw the sadness in the Slovenly Taoist Man's eyes. His heart trembled.

His eyes reddened. He could feel the Slovenly Taoist Man's determination to die.

He knew that the Slovenly Taoist Man was going to give it his all. He wanted to buy time for himself, Daokong, and Dōkyō to escape.

"Hong Shenwu, you think a piece of trash like you can stop me?"

Shi Shenhong gloomily looked at Hong Shenwu, the corners of his mouth revealing a mocking smile.

The Slovenly Taoist Man's eyes were calm. The golden light that surged out of his body became brighter and brighter.

"Whether or not I'm trash, you'll know soon enough!"

Hong Shenwu's voice was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and earth. It was vast and mighty like a great bell.

Shi Shenhong's expression changed. He actually felt an unprecedented sense of danger from Hong Shenwu's voice.

Boom!

Suddenly, Hong Shenwu moved. It was fine if he didn't move, but once he did, he shocked heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, Hong Shenwu appeared in front of Shi Shenhong. His fists shot out like lightning, bringing with them golden light as they smashed towards Shi Shenhong.

Shi Shenhong raised his spear and struck out. Instantly, it collided with Hong Shenwu's fist.

Shi Shenhong's expression also changed. The scene of absolute suppression that he had imagined didn't happen at all.

Hong Shenwu's fists were as hard as metal. When they collided with the divine spear, a series of clanging sounds could be heard.

Moreover, each collision was like a force of ten thousand catties, bringing great pressure to Shi Shenhong.

Shi Shenhong's expression changed greatly. His heart was filled with doubt. Didn't Hong Shenwu's righteous energy only have a suppressive effect on evil spirits? It shouldn't have any effect on cultivators.

But now, Hong Shenwu seemed to have been reborn. He could actually transform the righteous energy into his own strength and suppress Shi Shenhong.

Not far away, Zhuowen, who was protecting Daokong and Dōkyō, also looked at Hong Shenwu in shock.

The power Hong Shenwu was displaying now was actually similar to his vast grandmist godforce, even though they were different methods.

This was because he sensed both the overwhelming righteous aura and the primordial aura from the power Hong Shenwu was displaying.

Zhuowen recalled the scene he had seen in the secret room in the ruins of the Hong Sect. His expression couldn't help but become complicated.

At that time, he hadn't been able to confirm Hong Shenwu's identity. But now, he was certain that Hong Shenwu was the founder of the Hong Sect.

However, what Zhuowen didn't understand was that Hong Shenwu had successfully merged the righteous energy and grandmist aura into a new power.

Moreover, this new power didn't just have a suppressive effect on evil spirits, it also had a strong suppressive effect on ordinary cultivators.

Then why didn't Hong Shenwu use this new power to resist those cultivators who came to rob the Hong Sect?

Zhuowen suddenly recalled the sloppy daoist's gaze when he pushed him away. His heart trembled. He had an ominous feeling.

The reason why the sloppy daoist hadn't used this new power was very likely that there were great restrictions on using it.

Otherwise, there was no way he wouldn't have used it earlier.

Boom boom boom!

In the air, the sloppy daoist and Shi Shenhong continuously clashed, erupting with terrifying energy ripples.

Zhuowen, along with Daokong and Dōkyō, could only silently watch all this from afar.

"Ah!

How is this possible?

Hong Shenwu, you … who are you?

Why do you have this power? "

A miserable cry came from midair. Shi Shenhong's wretched figure fell from the clouds.

Zhuowen focused his eyes and saw that the divine spear in Shi Shenhong's hand had broken into two. His body was also covered in blood.

Although Shi Shenhong was strong, he had experienced the battle between Sikong Qiyu and Zhuowen and was already heavily injured.

Moreover, after Hong Shenwu erupted with this new power, not only was his strength not inferior to Shi Shenhong at his peak, it was even stronger.

Boom!

When Shi Shenhong fell in midair, an intense golden light suddenly appeared above the clouds.

Then, a figure appeared in the golden light and quickly fell, catching up to Shi Shenhong's figure.

This figure was the sloppy daoist. His gaze was cold and emotionless. He silently looked at Shi Shenhong and punched out, smashing onto Shi Shenhong's chest.

"Hong Shenwu …"

Shi Shenhong roared towards the sky. The energy in his body was like a water pump that was operating to the limit. It quickly surged and enveloped his body.

He knew that he couldn't dodge and could only take this attack head-on.

Boom!

In midair, the two figures collided. Then, Zhuowen heard Shi Shenhong's miserable cry.

He saw Shi Shenhong's figure rapidly fall downwards, smashing into a valley and creating a huge crater.

Hong Shenwu floated in midair. He flipped his right hand and a spirit ring appeared in his palm.

He threw the spirit ring to Zhuowen and said, "Zhuowen, this is Shi Shenhong's spirit ring. There's something inside that belongs to you. Take it!"

Zhuowen subconsciously took the spirit ring and scanned it with his divine sense. He indeed found the Three Fire True Mirror inside.

"Hong Shenwu, you forced me to do this!"

Below the ground, in the crater, Shi Shenhong roared towards the sky, his eyes scarlet and bloodthirsty.

His injuries were too severe, but they could not suppress the crazy anger in the depths of his heart.

He was completely enraged. Like a wounded beast, he let out a heart-palpitating howl.
