Bang!

Sa Heavenly Master summoned Shenxiao, but before the thunder even emerged, he was struck heavily, flying backward with a 'bang'. His magic robe burst, and he rolled over several times before barely managing to stabilize himself.

"You—"

Sa Heavenly Master was momentarily dumbfounded, his mind unable to process quickly.

It wasn't that the four Divine Lights or two clusters of Heavenly Fire were particularly formidable.

He just didn't expect it.

That this Tianpeng True Monarch had such incredible speed, that even with his Golden Immortal Dao ability, he couldn't react in time.

He stumbled under the impact.

Sa Heavenly Master was unaware.

Besides the Five-Colored Divine Light, Lu Qingfeng possessed several Supreme Great Divine Powers.

The 'Inverted Void Glazed Glass Wall', 'Invisibility Technique', and 'Transformation Technique' all had their unique uses, but during combat, they were of limited use, so let's not mention them now.

'Seven Beasts Small Divine Number' and 'Cloud Peak Step' had no direct attack or defense methods.

But the first derived the Heavenly Mechanism, allowing one to anticipate the enemy.

The latter roamed the Netherworld, stepped into the Nine Heavens, fleeting and unpredictable, with the fastest speed, making it nearly impossible to defend against.

A speed that was at its pinnacle.

Even though Sa Heavenly Master was not weak, facing such Supreme Divine Powers, he was at a loss.

Not to mention Sa Heavenly Master.

Throughout the Three Realms, there weren't many figures who could react quickly enough.

Lu Qingfeng, not giving a chance, pressed the advantage.

"Again!"

Taking advantage of Sa Heavenly Master's backward flight, he used the Cloud Peak Step and closed in on him.

The Three-headed and Six-armed Divine Power unleashed—

Divine Light!

Demon Flames!

Heavenly Fire!

Thunder Prison!

Chaos struck from above.

Sa Heavenly Master's 'Hundred-Patched Demon-Suppressing Robe' fluttered, his mana surged, thunder surrounded him, and amidst this adversity, he gradually stabilized.

"Tianpeng!"

"Do you really think you're invincible?!"

Sa Heavenly Master, with Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi in his mouth, released electricity and thunder, capable of cutting down demons.

Blocking the Divine Light and Heavenly Fire.

"Your divine skills are still lacking!"

Lu Qingfeng ignored Sa Heavenly Master, pondering to himself.

The skills he unleashed, besides the 'Cloud Peak Step,' were all just regular great divine powers.

And mostly at the Third Level or Fourth Level.

Against Earth Immortals, he would definitely crush them. Against Heavenly Immortals, he could have the advantage. But when facing someone like Sa Heavenly Master, a Golden Immortal figure, it was somewhat inadequate.

Even though Lu Qingfeng took the offensive.

It was difficult to inflict substantial damage on Sa Heavenly Master.

"Hundred-Patched Demon-Suppressing Robe?"

Spotting Sa Heavenly Master's robe, Lu Qingfeng's mind flickered: "Seize!"

The Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly flared up behind him, sweeping over Sa Heavenly Master, and took away the Spiritual Treasure that was no less than the 'Five Bright Demon-suppressing Fan'.

"My magic robe!"

Sa Heavenly Master, with heaven's decree in his mouth, wielded thunder skillfully, thwarting Lu Qingfeng's offensive, annihilating divine skills, and was just about to gather momentum for a counterattack. Feeling a chill on his body, he looked down, only to find his 'Hundred-Patched Demon-Suppressing Robe' had also been taken.

He was momentarily shocked.

Momentarily enraged.

Momentarily ashamed and furious.

In a hurry, he wielded his hand, summoned real thunder and lightning, weaving them into a robe to protect his body.

But Lu Qingfeng didn't relent.

Finding his divine skills ineffective.

He took out Spiritual Treasures.

Six Arms and Six Hands presented weapons and treasures—holding halberd axe, bow and arrow, sword, bell, spear, and rope.

All were bestowed by the Jade Emperor, all were Spiritual Treasures.

With Spiritual Treasures in hand.

With divine skills, they shone.

That halberd axe was augmented by the 'Mountain and Earth Breaking Skill', capable of splitting peaks and shattering the earth.

That bow and arrow carried the 'Golden Saber Soul Slaughter Method', as the sharp arrows flew, souls could be slain.

That treasure sword summoned 'Call the Wind and Summon the Rain', one sword strike from the west, followed by wind and rain.

That copper bell emitted the 'Fallen Divine Light', shaking the bell, causing one to lose soul and composure.

That great halberd wielded the 'Dutian Demon Flames', capable of reverting flesh, mana, and divine skills back to their origins, burning them all away.

That Immortal Rope bore the 'Qingjing Heavenly Fire', with the rope sealing all six senses.

With Spiritual Treasures in hand, divine skills radiated.

"Invincible is hard to say."

"But defeating you is a piece of cake!"

Lu Qingfeng laughed heartily, six arms dancing wildly, appearing like a mad demon.

Observing Sa Heavenly Master again.

With his robe taken by Lu Qingfeng, he dared not deploy any treasures.

In this worsening situation.

How could he even retaliate?

He took countless blows from axes and swords, all over bruised and battered.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Sa Heavenly Master felt utterly frustrated, understanding the hardship his disciple Wang Lingguan suffered that day. Barely standing firm, he dared not entangle, attempting to leap out of the battle circle.

"Trying to escape?!"

Lu Qingfeng refused to let him go.

Pursuing relentlessly, without pause.

"Transform!"

"Transform, transform, transform!"

And even waved his three heads, hair falling off, transforming into hundreds of 'Little Tianpeng'.

Each held a weapon.

"Hey!"

"Ha!"

Encircling Sa Heavenly Master, relentlessly pummeling.

Lu Qingfeng grabbed one end of the Immortal Rope, using it like a whip, flogging Sa Heavenly Master mercilessly.

"Tianpeng!"

Sa Heavenly Master leaped left and right, furious.

Seeing him still struggling, Lu Qingfeng simply released his hold, the Immortal Rope immediately bound Sa Heavenly Master tightly.

Then axes, halberds, swords, and spears rained down once more.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the Tianhe, the Heavenly Gang Saint, Nine Heavens Slaughter General, and others watched from afar as Lu Qingfeng and Sa Heavenly Master battled, each with a twitching face, remaining silent.

Around them, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals glanced over.

These Tianhe Admirals, their faces flushed.

If they remembered correctly.

More than three months ago, they were taught a lesson by this Tianpeng True Monarch in the same manner.

Faced a rampant beating, acknowledged his power whether willing or not.

Seeing Sa Heavenly Master in such a disheveled state now, they couldn't help but recall their own experience, flush with shame. Yet at the same time, they felt a bit of schadenfreude.

Altogether, their feelings were complex.

Sa Heavenly Master, however, couldn't think much about it for the moment, struck by pain, and disregarding the embarrassment, hurriedly yelled—

"Tianpeng!"

"Hold your hand! Stop quickly!"

Roughly shouting.

Lu Qingfeng paid no heed and decided to vent his anger first. You can't just start and stop fighting as you wish.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

This Sa Heavenly Master truly lives up to his reputation among the Four Great Celestial Masters; both his divine skills and physical body are formidable. Lu Qingfeng relied on the might of the Five-Colored Divine Light, swiped away Sa Heavenly Master's spiritual treasures, and overpowered him.

Yet whether it was the axe, halberd, sword, or spear; or the Divine Light Heavenly Fire, they only managed to stagger Sa Heavenly Master and cause him some pain.

Merely embarrassed him.

But that was enough.

For Sa Heavenly Master, at the point before losing his life truly, saving face might be more important than life.

"Tianpeng!"

"Stop being too overbearing!"

Sa Heavenly Master saw that Lu Qingfeng hadn't stopped, and he was unable to fight back.

Ashamed and furious.

Without considering anything else, he drew two fingers together, cut off a lock of hair, wrapped it around his fingertips, and chanted a spell. In the space a short distance away, wind and thunder roared, annihilating seventeen or eighteen lawless incarnations, creating a path.

Leaping forward.

Finally, he escaped, stood far from Lu Qingfeng, frost covering his face.

"True Man bullies his way in here and claims this True Monarch is being overbearing—what a joke!" Lu Qingfeng saw Sa Heavenly Master escape, with a shortened lock of hair, hair disheveled in quite a sorry state, sneered, and stopped pursuing.

Retracted his Three-Headed and Six-Armed Dharma Body.

Retracted the Lawless Incarnation.

Lu Qingfeng swept his large sleeves, hands behind his back, and put away the 'Five Bright Demon-Suppressing Fan' and 'Hundred-Patched Demon-Suppressing Robe'.

Sa Heavenly Master's eyelids twitched.

Whether feeling heartache or burning with rage, perhaps both, his face darkened, his voice cold: "Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, you should consider carefully. Are you genuinely going to harbor the villain who killed Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun?!"

"True Man shouldn't cast unfounded accusations."

"Who is Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun? Dead is dead, what's it got to do with me?!"

Lu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered with Sa Heavenly Master and shouted: "If True Man doesn't leave, be careful this True Monarch will capture you and suppress you at the bottom of Tianhe!"

With Five-Colored Divine Light in hand.

Lu Qingfeng had the confidence.

Though he worried about someone breaking out from his belly, he only boasted so far without daring to swipe them into his abdomen.

But Sa Heavenly Master didn't know this!

He heard these words.

And thinking of Lu Qingfeng's Five-Colored Divine Light that swipes everything, he was instantly startled, and bravely said: "Tianpeng, do as you wish!"

Left behind a harsh word.

Too afraid to stay, he left in disgrace without retrieving his spiritual treasures.

"Jumping clown!"

Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly, turned back to the Water Mansion.

"Husband."

"Father."

Ao Le, Lu Xiao, Lu Yao, and a group of disciples and officers looked over.

Some were elated.

Some cheered.

Others had looks of concern.

Lu Qingfeng smiled and said: "A mere Heavenly Master is nothing to worry about. That Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun was out of line first, not my fault!"

Speaking as such.

He entered the hall, splashed ink, and swiftly wrote a memorial.

"Husband, this is—"

Ao Le saw this, looked towards Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng blew the ink dry and said: "It's to guard against Sa Shoujian from making slanderous remarks and twisting the truth. I'll go to Spirit Xiao Palace right away to report this to the Jade Emperor!"

After speaking.

He took the memorial in hand, stepped on Cloud Peak's steps, and went towards Spirit Xiao Palace.

…

Tongming Hall.

Sa Heavenly Master tidied his appearance; the bruises and marks were all gone.

His hair styled into a bun, a perfect embodiment of an immortal's elegance.

He came leisurely.

With a sense of 'pine and crane are free in the wilderness, distant clouds always carefree'.

No one could see.

Just recently.

This Sa Heavenly Master was beaten around like a sandbag.

"True Man."

"Heavenly Master."

"Ancestor Master."

The child attendants and divine officers in the hall were unaware, seeing Sa Heavenly Master as usual, all paid their respects.

No signs of anomaly.

Sa Heavenly Master headed towards Spirit Xiao Palace, contemplating word choice, planning on sending a heavy complaint against that Qingjing Child!

Leaving Tongming Hall.

When nearing Jieyin Hall, he met Ge Xianweng head-on.

They exchanged pleasantries.

Ge Xianweng looked at Sa Heavenly Master: "Daoist Brother heading to see His Majesty?"

Sa Heavenly Master nodded upon hearing: "I have matters to report to His Majesty."

He asked again: "Do you know who His Majesty is meeting now? Is it convenient?"

"Convenient."

"Convenient."

Ge Xianweng smiled and said: "Just now, Tianpeng True Monarch rushed in anxiously, feeling very aggrieved, claiming he was attacked along Tianhe, lost face, and came to ask His Majesty for justice."

Halfway through speaking.

Ge Xianweng saw Sa Heavenly Master's chest heaving and face turning red, a bit surprised: "This Daoist Brother is—"

"Ruffians!"

"Ruffians! Ruffians! Ruffians!"

Sa Heavenly Master was so angry that he was about to blow his top, hardly in the mood to chat with Ge Xianweng. Trembling all over, continually swearing, he passed through Jieyin Hall, Court Meeting Hall, heading straight for Spirit Xiao Palace.

"…"

Ge Xianweng watched the abnormal Sa Heavenly Master, puzzled. Then a thought arose: "Could what Tianpeng wants to report be—"

Thinking of this.

"Haha."

"This Tianpeng is truly a clever one!"

Ge Xianweng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

…

Rear hall of Spirit Xiao Palace.

Sa Heavenly Master hurriedly arrived, not even inside, yet he could hear clanging voices from within—

"Your Majesty, Master Sa is being insufferably overbearing!"

"Unreasonable, causing turmoil in Tianhe, disgracing our Tianhe water army."

"Also Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun."

"As a Thunder Department God, a Heavenly Immortal, shamelessly attacking and ambushing my Earth Immortal disciple, intending to kill. Thankfully, my Heavenly Immortal disciple happened to pass by and saved her siblings, otherwise the consequences would be dire. However, Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun wouldn't relent, being aggressive and ruthless. My disciple had no choice, and didn't recognize Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun's identity, judged by his actions and means, mistook him for a Nine Nether Demon, committed completely to subdue him, thus—"

Inside the hall.

A voice passionately resounded, like a torrent!

"Ruffians!"

"Ruffians!!!"

Sa Heavenly Master heard this, eyes sparking with fire, hastened his steps.

Arriving inside the hall.

Before stabilizing, he pointed at the person fervently speaking and cursed: "Tianpeng, how shameless you are!"
